Lantern, October 8: An irregular
shaped boulder weighing perhaps tor
or more, and so hard as to defy stone
cutter, lay about the old Kennedy cor
ner from time immemorial until yea1
or two ago, when Engineer James
Hamilton had it moved out Of his way
to a position near the city hall. This
stone enjoys the distinction, according
to tradition, of being the one on which
Aaron Burr stood when he leaped from
his horse and appealed to the citizens
to rescue him from the officers who had
him in charge, on their way from the
southwest to Richmond, in March 1906
It Is proposed to dress small surface
on this stone, engrave suitable in
scription upon It. and send 1t to the
Charleston exposition. We suppose
that all the inscription necessary will
be Burr's name and the date. After
the exposition it will be kept in some
appropriate place. e.......Mr. r. Brandt

Brandt will go November 1st, and the
family will go month or two later
He was doing a splendid and rapidly
increasing business here; but the death
