TOMB OF GENERAL GREENE.
Bones of the famous Revolutionary
Fighter Drought to Light in
Savannah, Georgia..

There is no doubt remaining that
the bones recently discovered in the
vault of the colonial cemetery ut Sa.
vnnnah, Ga, are those of Gen. Nathan
iel Greene, and his son, George Wash.
ington Greene. Gen. Greene was bur.
led in 1856, and until the discovery
made by the searching party recently
his place of burial had been a mys.
terry. The search at this late day was
inspired by the Rhode Island Society
of the Cincinnati, of which Gen.
Greene was the first president. Col.
Asa Bird Gardiner came to Savannah
from New York, representing the so.
ciety, and engaged the services of
local committee to assist in the search
for the, body, says the News of Sa.
vannnh.
There were many who looked upon
the expedition as quixotic in charac-
ter. The city council in years gone by
had appointed two committees to
search for the bones of the great gem
cral of the revolution, but nothing had
been found. Col. Gardiner was sure,
however, that Gen. Greene had been
buried in a tomb known as the Jones
vault, and after searching elsewhere
he turned his attention to that. He
was rewarded by'1inding a coffin plate
upon which he could trace the word
Greene" and some continental but
tons. Gen. Grcene's skull was of un.
usual size, and this was we'll pre-
served. His hands were incased in silk
gloves that were still intact when
found. The bones of his son, who
was drowned in the Savannah river,
were found by his side. The few
remaining bones have been placed in
separate boxes and deposited in
safety deposit vault for such dispose.
ton as may be arranged later. They
will probably be buried under the Ma
thaniel Greene monument, in Savan.
nah.
There is not a person in Savannah
who has investigated the subject who
doubts the genuineness of the relics
found by Col. Gardiner and the MEM
bers of the local committee who az.
sisted him in the search. The men,
bers of the committee were all men
of the highest integrity. Additional
evidence Of genuineness has come to
light within the last week. William
Harden, librarian of the Georgia His
torical society and a county official,
has been greatly interested in the re.
searches made by Col. Gardiner. He
was member of the committee which
conducted the search. After Col. Gard.
liner left the city he continued the
search for records of the grave in
which the bones were found. Mr..
Harden has supplied oil the informa.
ton necessary to prove to an unbiased
mind that the bones, of Gen. Greene
have been found. The tomb was bricked
up by the city in 1896, when Colonial
cemetery was made park.

PHILLIPS NOT POISONED.
Chemist Reports in Regard to An

Is Released.

New York, June 6.-The report of
George A. Ferguson, an analytical
chemist who made an examination of
the stomach of Rev. E. S: Phillips, of
Hazleton, Pa., who was found dead
in the apartments of CDR" Kirke Stan
ley three weeks ago, shows that Fa-
Their Phillips was not poisoned. Stan
ley was arraigned before the coroner
Wednesday.
AS soon as Stanley was arraigned
Coroner Baisch said that his hope
to hear that the dead priest was not
poisoned was realized, and it gave
him much pleasure to release Stanley
from custody. He said the shadow
had been removed from over Stanley,
and he could now go his way. He
declared the man discharged.
Satnley shook hanos with the cor
oner, his counsel and the assistant
district attorney and witnesses, and

THE ERIE WINS.
Fast Lake Stcamers-Thc Tash.

Cleveland, o., June 5.-The hundred
mile race from Cleveland to Erie Tues
day between the Cleveland passenger
| steamer City of Erie, owned by the
Cleveland u Buffalo Transit company,
and the Tashmoo, Detroit's crack pas
senger boat, owned by the White Star
company, was in many respects the
most noteworthy race ever sailed on
fresh water. The Erie covered the
distance in four hours, 10 minutes and
nine seconds, passing the stake boat at
Erie one minute and thirty-eight Sec
onds ahead of the Tashmoo,
beating the latter by 45 seconds
elapsed time. 1t was pronounced by
old vesselmen to be the prettiest race
ever Witnessed Aside from winning
the speed championship of the great
lakes, the Erie won about 500, 900 for
those who bet on her.
The conditions under which the race
was sailed We're ideal. There was a
fair Sky and sea as calm as u mill

sential to the Tashmoo, as she is 4 light

been severely hampcred by wind and
sea. While the Erie was made to
travel fast under all conditions. The
course was lined from start to finish
with excursion boats of all kinds, and
the shores were crowded at points
with people. The noisy departure Of
the racers at Cleveland was duplicated
of tho f,,ich %-o
pie cheercd both victor and van
pushed. 1t was the prettiest race ever
seen on the great lakes. Both boats
were stripped to fighting trim. The
decks were cleared of everything that
would catch the wind on board the
Erie, even the life boats had been
slowed away between decks. The linn
each boat were confined to the cabins,
and none were allowed on the decks.
The Erie made no preparations for
the race except to unload her freight
after coming to her dock in the morn
ing. The Tashmoo had been scraped
thoroughly, and everything done to IA
cilitate her speed. From the start tho
result was in doubt until within few
miles of the finish. The race demon
strated that both boats were evenly
matched. Each was surprised at the
speed of the other. The boats approx
imately made nearly % miles an hour.
Tt was neck and neck from the start
ing point until just about Fairport,
where the Erie encountered shore
water and fell three lengths behind her
rival. From Fairport to Ashtabula
she made no perceptible gain, but final
ly picked up and passed her rival. The
Tashmoo sailed by spurts, getting
ahead for awhile, then falling back,
while the Erie maintained steady
gait. When the victorious craft en-
tered the Cleveland harbor Tuesday
evening on her return from the race,
she was greeted with a tremendous
ovation. Hundreds of steam whistles
along the lake front and river blew
continually for nearly half an hour,
while thousands of people crowded
along the docks wildly cheering.

CHARGED WITH FORGERY.
Mayor of Grand Rapids Has Two
Witnesses in Water Works
Case Arrested.

Grand Rapids, Mich, June &c. II.
Garman and Robert Cameron, of New
York, representatives of eastern pro-
motors, who came here Tuesday to tes-
tify before the Kent county grand jury
which is investigating alleged corrup-
ton in the attempt last fall to put new
water works system in Grand Rapids,
have been arrested on complaint of
Mayor George r. Perry, on charge of
forgery. The warrant was secured
from Police Judge Doyle after County
Prosecutor Brown had refused to
grant it. A strong effort is alleged to
have been made to keep Garman and
Cameron from testifying before the
jury, as their evidence is said to be
vital. The charge of forgery is based
on an alleged worthless check which
accompanied the water supply bid pre-
sented by Mr.. Garman for the men he
represented. The city administration
is now at open war with the county Of
ficers who are in charge of the grand
Jury. Cameron was kept in the police
station all night ex-communicado.

No book is ever really entirely dead.
l have had book on my shelves time

having finally sold it, have had it called
for again within a week. There are
certain subjects that seem to be Pc
riodically revived and the revival
makes call for works on those sub
jects. Take the question, for In.
stance, of the Lost Dauphin,' Louis
XVII. of France. There was a book
about him, The Lost Prince by Han
son, published in 1854. 1 never came
across copy of it anywhere without
buying it, certain that sooner or later
it would be called for. Sometimes I

other times / have two OF three or.

call for it. Some passing reference to
the subject may be made in newspa-
per, and the result is demand for

all at nearly the same time," quotes
the New York Tribune. 81 thought
they must have some common origin,
and finally chance reference in one
of my letters of inquiry showed me
what it was. A certain leading jour.
nal in the south had had a purely in.
cidental passing allusion to the book
in one of its editorials. The widely
scattered places from which inquir.
les about it came, thought, furnished
pretty strong testimony to the cir.
culation of the paper.
"As for the difficulty of obtaining Q
scarce book, it is to be remembered
that no book is ever really out of the
market for good until it finds rest
ing place in some endowed public II.
brary. A book that is sold to col.
lcctor will disappear perhaps for ten
years, perhaps for longer time; but
it always reappears sooner or later,
when it may bring twice as much OF
half as much us its last purchaser paid,
depending on the developments that
have taken place since in the book
market, in the tastes and desires of
collectors and in the general financial
situation. But when it is finally pur.
chased for the account of great pub.

ACTION UNSATISFACTORY.
ton of Provisions of Plat Amend
ment by Cuban Convention.

Washington, June AT very late
hour Friday night Secretary Root
cabled Governor General Wood at Ha-
vana, making these statements:
l. That the president and cabinet had de-
clined to accept the Cuban constitution.
2. That the declnation applied specifcal-
~ to all that part of the instrument that
did not refer to the Plat amendments as
we'll as to the latter.
8. That the constitutional convention
must reassemble and after reconsidering
the vote by which the constitution was
passed adopt the Plat amendments in the
exact form they were passed by congress.
4. That continued delay in meeting the
terms fixed by congress simply means de-
lay in establishing the Cuban republic and
evacuation of the island by United States
troops.
Washington, June 1.-The admins
tration has decided that the action
of the Cuban constitutional conven-
ton in accepting the terms of the
Platt amendment Tuesday by the close
vote of Is to IA, with notifications and
interpretations of their own, was not
Substantial" compliance with our
terms within the meaning of the
amendment and Secretary Root will
convey this intelligence to the conven-
ton. The decision was reached at the
cabinet meeting Friday.
The three main points in which the
action of the Cuban constitutional
convention is regarded as unsatisfac-
tory relate, it is said, to coaling sta
tons, sanitation and intervention.
The cabinet held that the amend
ments and interpretations and the
wealth of whereases placed by the Gu
ban convention upon the Cuban
amendment amounted to a practical
modification of the Platt amendment
such as was beyond the power of this
government to accept. The message
of rejection sent to Gen. Wood advises
the Cubans in unqualified language
that there is no power resting in the
United States government to change
the terms of the Platt anne ndment and
that this government insists on the ac-
ceptance of the Platt amendment,
without amendment or qualification.

New York, June 5.-A man leaped to
death from the Brooklyn bridge Tues
day afternoon. Many people saw him
jump. He had an American flag in
each hand. His body was recovered.
The man appears to have been Robert
G. Bidwell, of 1925 East Adams street,
Jacksonville, Fla. Several letters were
found on the body. One was addressed
to R. r. Champlain, this city. The man
was evidently prepared for the jump,
for he wore life preserver, and his
body was swathed with towels, which
were evidently intended to lessen the
impact when he struck the water. A
number of newspapers were stuffed be-
tween his body and the life preserver.
