BONES ARE GREENE'S
COFFIN PLATE HAS SHOWN CON-
elusive PROOF OF 1T.
so COL. GARDINER WRITES.
TREATMENT OF PLATE MADE 1T
GIVE UP ITS SECRET.

Hon. william Harden Received n
Letter From Col. Gardiner That
Gave the InfOrmatIon-''Nath
Greene, obit June 10, 17S6. Ae. a.
PInte-PhOtOgraphs of 1t VIII BE
Sent to Savannah-AII Doubts as to
Identity of the Remains in Vault
of the Southern Bank Now RemOv-
ed.
The remains found in the tomb in the
old Colonial Cemetery in Savannah by
Col. Asa Bird Gardiner of New York and
the members of the local committee that
worked with him in the search were those
for which the committee sought. 1t has
been conclusiveIy proven that the relics
that now lie in the vault of the Southern
Bank are those of Gen. Nathaniel
Greene, one of the most distinguished Off
GERS of the Revolution.
A letter has been received by Hon. Will
lam Harden, one of the members of the
local committee, from Col Gardiner, in
which the writer states thai the coffin
plate, upon which a portion of the sur
name of Greene and the date of the death
could be distinguished by the naked eye
before the metal was subjected 10 treat
ment, had been carefully examined and
treated and that it had shown the follow
ing inscription:

Nathaniel Greene.
Obit June 10, 1856.
Ae. A Years.

Photographs of the plate, Col. Gardiner
wrote, would be sent to Mr. Harden as
soon as they could be made. He explained
that the delay in making the inspection
of the plate had been due to the pres
sure of his business, which had with
drawn his attention, temporarily, from
the Greene matter.
The other coffin plate that was supposedto
have been upon the coffin that heldthe re-
mains of George Washington Greene, a
son of the General, Col. Gardiner wrote,
had been found so corroded as to prevent
any of it's inscription being deciphered.
This was as had been expected by the
members of the local committee who had
seen and inspected the plate. 1t was
made of a metal different from that of
the plate that was on the coffin of Gen.
Greene, and had been more severely af-
fected by rust.
The news of the discovery made by Col.
Gardiner will interest all who were con-
nected in any way with the search and
also the many readers who followed the
history of the efforts to learn where the
remains of Gen. Greene rested.
The belief was general at the
time the search was concluded
that the remains found were those of
Gen. Greene and his son, though there
were some who expressed doubt. All this,
however is removed by the proof found
by Col. Gardiner.
Col. Gardiner, 1t is thought, enlisted the
aid of Gen. DiCesnola, director of the
Metropolitan Museum, in the inspection
of the plates. Gen. DiCesnola is an an
tiquarian of worldwide reputation, and
1t was Col. GARDENERS expressed intention
at the time of his departure from Savan-
nah to look him up upon his arrival in
New York. 1t was learned soon after
he reached that city that he had seen
Gen. DiCesnola, and the latter had said
Gen. Greene's coffin showed a portion of
the surname and portion of the date
The examination, however, was but sup
more careful one would show more abso-
lutte proof. Such was the case.
Now that il is known that the remains
occupying the larger of the two boxes
in the Southern Banks vault are those
of Gen. Greene, there can be no doubt
despite the fact that the name on the
plate was not legible after so many years,
that the remains in the smaller box are
those of his son, George Washington
Greene. History relates that the sons
body was placed by that of the father
No further discussion as to the dispo-
sition of the remains has arisen. 1t IS
not doubted that they will remain in Sa-
vannah. Col Gardiner has no intention
nor any desire, il is said, to remove them
to Rhode Island or any other place, and
II is probable that it will be agreed to
place them under the monument to Gen
Green in johnson Square.

TO-DAY AND TO-MORROw FAIR.
Yesterdays Temperature but One
Degree Above the Normal.

Yesterdays Temperature but One
Degree Above the Normal.
The rain that had been expected for sew
eral days came yesterday afternoon about
6 o'clock and in about two hours time
nearly half an inch fell. The day as a
whole was thoroughly disagreeable, for
not only was the earlier part of the day
hot and humid, but the wind blew in lit
tie swirling squalls that sent the dust in
every direction, and made it anything but
pleasant for those on the street.
The maximum temperature which oc-
CURED at / p M, was rs degrees, and
the minimum, at a. m, So, giving a
mean of GA degrees, / above normal. The
month still shows an accumulated def
cheney of 4 degrese and the year, a de-
ficiency of 161 degrees.
The rainfall up to s o'clock last night
was 3S of an inch, but as several showers
came down after that time it is probable
that much more than half an inch will be
registered by this morning OF rain the
month shows an accumulated excess of
60 of an inch, while the year shows an
excess of 10 of an inch.
The Washington forecast for the state
Is, to-day, fair with fresh westerly winds.
Tomorrow fair and probably warmer.

WILL BE NO CUP RACES.
Her Present Owners VIII Soon Dis
pose of the Dragon.


The Dragon will be disposed Of by the
syndicate of members of the Savannah
Yacht Club by which she was purchased
and brought out from the North eighteen
months ago for that purpose she fulfilled
the defeat of the fastest boats then own
ed by the Carolina Yacht Club of Charles
ton. The crack flyer of the Savannah
Yacht Clubs fleet, however met defeat
last summer, when she sailed against the
Maris. which took back the cup to
Charleston, beating the Dragon in two
spins oveF-the Wilmington river c0uSse.
No cup races will be held shis year. it
is thought although Commodore Julian
Schley Of the Yacht Club said yesterday
that he thought the powers of the ORA
COON had not been given a proper test,
and that she might be able to show the
Maris a clean pair of heels under differ
ent weather conditions than those that
prevailed when the races were sailed last
summer.
The Dragon is now in a slip at Mr.
F. s. Lathrop's plantation, up the Savan-
nah river. She will be put in commits
sion again soon. She had been kept in
the water ever since last season, and is
in excellent condition. She will be paint
ed and made to look spick and span be-
fore the plan for her disposal is set afoot.
Though the chances do not now appear
very bright for cup races between the
yacht clubs of Charleston and Savannah,
it is the purpose of the Savannah Yacht
Club to hold the usual regatta this sea-
son. Charleston has been making an eff
fort to get the Dragon, but the price
offered has not been as high as her own
ers believe she should bring. 1t is said
the Charlestonians wanted the Dragon
in order that they might sell the Maris at
the North. With the Dragon at Charles
ton and the Maris at the North the
.Charlestonians would still have the fast
est yacht in Southern waters.
