A Kew Jersey Monumen. a. Ant,etam.

Among the many callers Mt The National
Tribune office last week was a party of
New Jersey comrades who were on their
way to Antietam battlefield. They were
James o. Smith, of the 18th n. J.; James
Il. Crowell, of the same regiment. and
editor of the Paterson Morning Call, and
Col John j. Toffey, of the 33d N. ].
They were accompanied by Joseph H.
Walling, of the 144th N. Y, and William
L. Meeker, of Newark, n. j., contractor
These comrades are on their way to
the battlefield of Antietam to select a
site for a monument to the valor of the
splendid New Jersey soldiers who fell
upon that bloody field. The design was
selected by State committee of the COM
rades above mentioned who We're appoint
ed by Governor Murphy As stated, all
three are veterans, and Messrs. Crowell
and Smith were comrades with Governor
Murphy in the 18th. The design was the
joint idea of James II. Walling, of New
York, and John l.. and William Passmore
Meeker, of Newark, and the price agreed
upon was SG,S0O. The stone is to be a
plain shaft of Vermont granite, 40 feet
in hight. surmounted by the bronze figure
Of Capt Hugh c. Irisb.9of Co. X, 18th
Capt: Irish fell, mortally wounded. Hex
amer's Battery, Of Hoboken, and the 18th
n. j., did valiant work In the battle of
Antietam. Franklin Murphy, now Gov
ernOr Of New Jersey, then a boy in his
teens, fought in the ranks of the 18th.
Besides the battery and sthc 18th, four
other New Jersey regiments were on the
outskirts Of Antietam on the day Of the
battle; though they did not take part in
the lighting, their names gwill be on the
pedestal. T5g8
The party will be joined at Antietam by
Capt. A. Nj. Matthews. of Orange, N. J.
formerly of the 18th, and by Deputy
Factory Inspector Heber Wells, of Pater-
son, who was Orderly Sergeant of Co. X
at the battle of Antietam, who rescued
Capt. Irish's body and faluables from
the enemy. At Washington the commits
sioners were Joined by Gen. Ezra Carman,
former Colonel Of the 18th, now Commits
sioner in charge of the National Park.
1t is thought that the monument will
be completed by Sept. II next year, the
anniversary of the battle, when appro-
pirate ceremonies will be held. The
work of the monument falls upon James
H. Walling, Of New York, and John L.
and William Passm0re Meeker, Of this
city.
The New Jersey Legislature appro-
priated $4,000 for the monument. The
design accepted by the commission will
cost, as has been stated, $500. The
balance Of the appropriation is to be ex-
pended in preparing for the unveiling and
dedication on Sept II next. It Is expect
ed that several Governors Of States will
participate In the unveiling, and there will
be . splendid military pageant - well

JAMES p. AVERILL.
Georgia's Candidate for Junior Vice Com
mandar-in- Chief


Comrade Averill enlisted under the
first call of President Lincoln in April,
1861, at the age of 10, in Co. G, DIST
Ohio. This regiment, rs Il part of Gen.
COX's Brigade, aided very materially in
preserving West Virginia for the Union.
Subsequently, he rendered service as Or
derly-Sergcant of Co. +, 144th Ohio.
For over % years he has been an ear
nest and active worker in the ranks of the
q. A. r., first as a member of Post 81.
of the Ohio Department. in which he
served as Adjutant and Commander For
Ia years past he has been most liberal
with his time and means in sustaining and
npbulding the interest of the Order in the
Georgia Department. In 1894 he Was APP
pointed Assistant Adjutant-General and
has been retained in that responsible pO-
sitiOn ever since. with the exception of
the year 1897, when he was Department
Commander, and the year 1901. He is
now serving as A. A.-G. and A. Q.-M.-G
of the Department.
When the National w. r. G. accepted
the deeds to the Andersonville Prison
property, in August, 1896, he was appoint
ed Chairman of the Advisory Board of
the Board of Managers, n position which
he has since continued to hold. His SER
vices in planning, experimenting the de-
tails of extensive improvements, and in
the disbursement of funds expended in
the preservation of those hallowed
grounds is a matter of record with the
National w. Il. G. organization.
In his official capacity for many years,
he has had an important part in arranging
for the annual Memorial Day services in
the four National Cemeteries of the De-
partment, conducted by comrades who
superintcnd the decorating of $4,000
graves Of our dead.
At the 14th Annual Encampment of the
Department of Georgia. G.. A. r., held at
Atlanta, April Is, 1902, the following
resolution was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the Representatives.
from this Department to the 36th Annual
National Encampment are hereby instruct
ed to present the name of Past Depart
ment Commander James =. Ayerill for
Junior Vice Commander-in-Chief. and to
use every honest effort to secure his
election"

TO SHEPHERDS MEMORY.
A Monument to the Man Whose Foresight
and VIII Made Warrington Beautiful.


Washington has fully decided to
erect a monument to the memory of
Alexander X. Shepherd, whose body will
he brought from Batopilas for burial.
Some 5000 is already subscribed for this
fund. The world does not know it, and
would not remember it long if it did, but
beautiful Washington is one great monu-
ment to the energy, pluck and decision of
Alexander II. Shepherd. The name of
L Enfant. who planned and laid out the
city Of Washington. and that Of Shepherd,
whose farsight and indomitable will push
ed these plans to completion 80 years lat
er, may well be blazoned on the city's
gates.
Washington was a mud hole. Shep-
herd made it clean and sweet.
His arbitrary action cost him his for
tune. and most Of his friends. While
these friends remained here to enjoy the
fruits Of his costly labors. Shepherd. self
exiled. went to Mexico to build up an
other fortune. Twenty years after, these
sycophants who fled from him in the hour
when he most needed them, began to say
that shepherd builded better than he
knew" That he had probably" been
instrumental in making Washington one
Of the healthiest and most attractive cities
in the world.
These fair-weather friends should have
said. "he bnilded better than we knew"
~.
future OF Washington was phenomenal.
No other man-if L'Enfant be excepted.
ard perhaps Washington himself = had
ever dreamed that on the banks Of the
Potomac there would one day rise a city
that would rival Paris for beauty, and
which would be the mecca of statesmen
and diplomats. the home of literature, ed
ucation. art. science and music.
Shepherd did not dream it. He just
saw with clear eve the possibilities and
with a cOurage that was sublime he pro-
ceeded to make them accomplished facts.
In the pathway to his success there
puttered along the narrow minded, pro-
vircial malcontents who barked at the
heels Of progress, and hypocritically wept
at the expenditure Of "the peoples mon
ay." With 'the greatest good to the
greatest number" ever before him, Shep-
herd rnthessly rode down these obstruc-
tionsts. and asphalted them under the
wide avenues Of Washington. Like Ban
qnO's ghost. they still walked and talked,
but today these ghosts of that dim past
lie low. They now see the futility of try
ing to bridge all these years of prosperity
and progress with their poison vines Of
asDersiOn and calumny.
Magnificent Washington would throw in
their teeth the lie they would tell.
"The good men do is oft inferred with
their bones." but ont of the good he did
monument has built itself for Alexander
Il. Observation-Disclosures
No marble shaft, no sculptured bust is
needed to remind the present generation
what Shepherd was to the Nations Capt.
tai, but that history may not be neglectful,
there will be erected here in his city
memorial that shall for all time tell what
man may do for man when he wills, and
it will bear the simple Observation-Disclosures

tered in various places in the city until
the evening of May 26, when we crossed
Long Bridge and went into camp and
commenced to build Fort RunyOn. While
in Washington my company (E) and Co.

southeast corner Pennsylvania avenue and
18th street. Companies d and X were
quartered in Willard Hall. / have for
gotten where the other companies were
quartered. The Government being unpre-
pared to subsist us, we were fed for sew
eral days at different hotels. My company
was fed at the National and at Willard's
Hotel. When we left Trenton we had
only uniforms, knapsacks and arms; am
munition was issued to us while sailing
down Chesapeake Bay. After several days
we were furnished with belts and cart
ridge boxes at Willard Hall. We then
marched to the Arsenal and exchanged
our altered flint-lock muskets for Spring
