all things being in readiness for the re-
moval of the remains Of Washington to
their new resting place, lights wer pre-
cured and the vault was entered. Mr..
William Strickland, who assisted at the
refinement, gives the following account
of what then took place:
Accompanied by Major Lewis and his
son we entered the vault door. The coffin
containing the remains of Washington
was in the extreme back part of the
vault; and to remove the case containing
the leaden receptacle, 1t was found neces-
sary to put aside the collins that were
piled up between 1t and the doorway. At
ter clearing the passageway the case,
which was decayed was stripped off, and
the lead Of the lid was discovered to have
sunk very considerably from head to
foot; so much So as to form a curved
line OF four to five inches In its whole
length. This settlement Of the metal had
perhaps caused the soldering Of the joints
to give way about the upper or widest .
part of the coffin At the request of Mai.
Lewis this fractured part was turned
over on the lower part OF the lid, expos
ing to view "A head and breast of large
dimensions, which appeared, by the dim
light of the candles, to have suffered but
little from the effects of time. The eye
sockets were large and deep, and the
breadth across the temples. together with
the forehead appeared of unusual size.
There was no appearance OF grave
clothes; the chest was broad; the color
was dark. and had the appearance OF
dried flesh and skin adhering closely to
the bones. We saw no hair, nor was
there any offensive odor from the body.
A hand was laid upon the head and In
stantly removed; the lead of the lid was
restored to it's place; the body. raised by
six men, was car led ard lad in the mar
BILE coffin. and the ponderous cover being
put on and set in cement, it was sealed
from our sight on Saturday, the 7th day
Of October, 1891
On the lid OF this marble sarcopha-
gus is sculptured the American shield
suspended over our festooned fags.
Perched upon the superior bar Of tho
shield. and forming the crest is an
eagle with outspread wings. Below this
design and cut in the marble Is the name
washington"
The remains Of Mrs Washington now
rest in a similar sarcophagus OF mar
BILE, plainly sculptured and situated on
the left OF the gateway or entrance TO the
tomb.

Washington, Feb. 15-Within the pre-
cincts of Mount Vernon. the beautiful
estate once occupied by George Washing
ton. and now preserved by the nation In
his memory, are three spots where the
first president has been buried. The
tomb which is now pointed out to visit
ors as containing the remains of Wash
ington is not that in which his body
was laid on the date of his burial Dec.
Is, 1893. Twice since then the coffin has
been moved. but never away from Mount
Vernon.
The old family vault in which the body
of Washington was first inferred was
situated about three hupdred yards to
the south of the mansion, In the side OF
a deep dell surrounded by great trees;
and was simply a narrow excavation
"a the bank of earth arohed over with
lrick and covered with deep sod. Wash
ington, before his death, contemplated
the building Of "A new vault. and had Sc
lccted the spot where he wished IL To-
Gated, but the end came suddenly, the new
vault had not even been begun, and the
body was buried in the old tomb. Here
it remained until an attempted desecra
ton. A man broke into the vault. but
was discovered just as he was making off
with a skull and some bones. The
robber bad found the wrong body, for
these relics formed no part OF the re-
mains OF Washington.
The second sepulcher was made in the
south SIDE Of the steep hill, near small
wooded ravlne, on the site especially
selected by Washington. The excavation
was walled in with brick and arched
over at the hight OF eight feet above tho
level OF the ground. The tomb itself
was surrounded by wall OF brlckwork
twelve feet high. and guarded in front
by an iron gateway, opening a few feet
In front Of the vault door.
The body OF Washington was moved into
this tomb IN 1881 and remained there I'M
disturbed until 1897. when John struthers
OF Philadelphia made and presented %
the relatives Of Washington a marble sar-
cophagus for the better protection OF the
corpse. When this sarcophagus was
brought to the tomb II was found 10 be too

illustrious trio would be reduced to a

en- the scene, hope for the brotherhood
revived again. His slightly rotund form

money at the expiration of sixty days.
II is stated the assets of the bank will
be exhausted IN paying same and will
be insufficient to meet all demands and
in addition the bank will be burdened
with its expenses for sixty days, thereby
making further deficit.
While the bank is refusing to honor
the checks of certain depositors, II is al
legged, II is honoring those Of others and
accepting them in some instances in pay
ment of promissory notes held by the
bank against such depositors In this and
other ways 1t is claimed the bank is dis
eliminating against certain depositors and
against the petitioner. and disposing of
some of its assets to the prejudice of the
depositors.
1t is contended that the present busi-
ness operations of the bank and its
continued unbusiness-like and alleged un-
lawful actions will waste and diminish
the assets of the corporation and will add
unnecessary expense to its management.
1t is further stated that the liabilities of
the American Savings Bank are about
$50, 900. while the assetS-not all of which
are good-amount to about twice that
sum.
T. L. Jeffords ID named as counsel for
the petitioner.
the bank has broken into the plans of
President Roome and the other officers
looking to its resumption of busi-
ness. AS stated several days ago
bank began Immediately after it sus-
pended payment to make arrangements
TO resume. a considerable portion of its
liabilities were Cancelled with moneys col
lected. and II was hoped yesterday morn
ing that its affairs would be in condition
for a complete resumption by next Mon
day.
A meeting of the stockholders of :he bank
was to be held yesterday afternoon at 1
o'clock, and President Roome stated in
the morning that he believed this meeting
would decide on some plan for wiping out
the other liabilities, as far as necessary.
Nothing was known by President Roome
or the other officers of the institution re-
garding the intention of Mr.. Haller to ap-
ply for a receiver.
Mr.. Syme, one of the receivers appoint
ed by the court. is the attorney for the
bank. Mr.. Jeffords is the choice of Mr.
Haller.
1t is not known whether the receivers
will take up the plans of President Roome
and the other stockholders or not, but 1t
is supposed that the appointment of the
receivers will prevent the immediate re-
sumption contemplated by the officers
