whole committee in saying that they
feel that the trust could not be placed
in safer keeping"
In receiving the monuments on be-
half of the city Mayor Myers said:
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen: /
esteem it an honor and privilege to
accept, in behalf of the city of Sa-
Nannah, these monuments, erected and
dedicated by your association to the
memory of two of the most illustrious
sons of Georgia, Generals McLaws and
Bartw. Their deeds, inscribed in his
tory and on the hearts of their coun-
trymen, perpetuate their memories in
a most enduring way.
"These monuments that have been
unveiled in our presence, are but an
outward evidence of public apprecia-
ton of their nobility of character, of
their sterling patriotism, and of their
valiant services. The members of your
association deserve the highest COM
mendation of their fellow citizens for
the work undertaken and carried to
completion. Your course is in keeping
with the traditions of Savannah,
which has never failed to recognize and
honor valor in defense of country, as
the many monuments in our city will
testify. ! but express the sentiments
thanks to you for the gifts to the pub
lie which now adorn our most beautiful
thcroughfare.
1T is useless for me to say that
these memorials will be carefully
treasured and protected. They will
not only serve to keep fresh the men,
cries of those whose public services
they commemorate, but they will be
the means of awakening sentiments of
fealty to high principles on the part
of our young men. They will serve to
awaken nobler ambitions; they will
be silent, but ever forceful, teachers,
through coming years, of the lesson
that the world is not yet insensible
to acts of self-sacrifice at the call of
duyt that grandeur of character is still
esteemed above all things else, and
that the ceaseless struggle for wealth,
that some have claimed has absorbed
all the energies of our people, has not
served to deaden their appreciation of
the higher attributes of manhood.
"Our citizens have never been I'M
mindful of the heroes who have gone
out from their midst Their names
have been cherished, their deeds re-
called, and their lives have been an in
spiration for later generations. 1t is
with the feeling that these monuments
will serve this purpose that I now
formally accept them in the name of
our people"

NEARLY BURNED TO DEATH.
MRS. MARY CLARK WRAPPED IN
FLAMES FROM AN OVERTURN-
ED LAMP.

Fell in a Fit, Knocked over a Lamp
on n Table at which She Was Sit
ting, Her Clothing Caught Fire
and She would Have Been Burned
to Death, but for Her Husbands
Prompt and Heroic EfOrts-He
Was Also Severely burned.
Mrs. Mary Clark was seriously burn
ed at her home, No. Az East Broad
street about 9 o'clock last night. She
was sitting by a table, on which lamp
stood. when she was seized with an
epileptic fit. In falling. she knocked
the lamp over, and burning oil was
thrown over her clothing.
Instantly her skirts were ablaze. Her
husband was in the room, and he had
presence of mind to run to his wife's
assistance. Naught save his bare
hands was available to fight the flames.
but he did not hesitate. With the ut
most dispatch he smothered the fire,
patting and rubbing it out with his
hands, though suffering the most ex-
cruciating pain while doing so.
BY the time the devoted husband had
extinguished his wifes clothing, the
burning oil had communicated the fire
to other parts of the ROOM His nerve
sustained him, and, though tortured
by the dreadful burns on his hands,
he kept bravely at work until he had
freed the room of fire
The alarm was given, and men and
women came to the rescue of the hus-
band and wife. They administered to
their hurts as best they could until
DIR. w. T.. Norton. who had been sum-
moned, arrived. The physician dress
ed the burns of both, and directed
that Mrs. Clark be taken to st. Jo-
sephs Hospital. The police ambulance
was summoned, and she was taken to
the hospital, where she was later re-
ported as resting as easily as might
have been expected. Her lower limbs
was badly burned, but DR.. Norton said
that he did not apprehend that the
injuries would prove fatal.
The fire department was not called
out. By the time assistance reached
the husband and wife the former had
succeeded in his desperate fight against
the flames.

OTHER MONUMENT DWELLINGS.
Jefferson Davis Mt the Greene Tablet
Ceremonies in 1856.

Ceremonies in 1856.
There was probably a more general
observance of Davis birthday in Sa-
vannah yesterday than there has been
since it was made a holiday, in Geor-
STA. The exercises attending the I'M
yelling of the McLaws and Barlow
monuments not only added greatly to
the interest in the day, but there was
more general suspension of business
both on account of the military dis
play and the exercises at the monu-
ment and in recognition of the birth
day of the leader of the Confederacy.
Many people who attended the nm
yelling of the McLaws and Barlow me-
MORALS recalled a similar occasion
when Mr.. Davis himself was present
the unwilling of the bronze tablets on
the Greene monument in 1886 during
the celebration of the centennial of the
Chatham Artillery, which, as it has
done on nearly every similar occasion,
during the last century, was present
at the unwilling and paraded With the
historic Washington guns.
The unwilling of the Greene tablets
was the occasion of Mr.. Davis last
visit to Savannah and was, in fact,
the last public occasion of note in
which he took a prominent part.
Two years. later in 1888 the bronze
statue of Sergt. Jasper surmounting
the granite pedestal in Madison Square
was unveiled by Mrs. Grover Cleve-
land That was the last monument
unwilling of note in Savannah, except
that of tie Tomochicffi memorial i'll

The Americans send us every year,

for employment are inclined to try to
get a share in the work of transport.

committees reported that the McLaws
fund had reached $1,000 and that the
Barlow fund was in excess of that
sum, when the committee determined
that the pedestals of the monuments
should be of Georgia granite of proper
hight and surrounded by busts in
bronze, and from that date the work
of the committee had been pressed for

Was Competition for the Work.
Regarding the busts as the crowning
feature of their undertakings, the COM
mittee invited the broadcast competition
of sculptors, and bids, from every sec
ton of the country, accompanied by
testimonials, were before them to aid
them in reaching a conclusion that
would fully meet all the requirements
Of art criticism, and at the same time
insure results grateful and comforting
to those to whom the features TO be
perpetuated in bronze were familiar in
life.
In what measure the committee has
attained this ideal result by awarding
the work, over other competitors, to
George Julian Zolnay, the sculptor of
the Confederacy, as he has been appro-
priately called, because of his mast er-
pieces. it will be your privilege to &C.

found in a pitiable condition by a
roadside near Cincinnati and taken to
st. Mary's Convent, where she remain
ed nearly year.
She wrote letters later to her mother
but received no reply. Then she first
learned that all had left the homestead
and that her home had been juggled
through the courts.
She went back to the former home
but could find no trace of her mother or
sisters. People told her that her step
father had kidnapped four of the favor
lite children and that a short time al
ter that the mother and remaining
children suddenly disappeared.
-. From one town to another she search
ed in vain. In Kansas she found
where her stepfather had been with
two of the children. In a prominent
family she found her youngest sister,
Rosy, employed as d nurse girl.
Then she heard of another sister in
Colorado, and, spiritlng away the nurse
girl, the two went to Denver. 1t was
not long before she lost trace of her
again.
Overcome with grief and misfortune,
she temporarily gave up her wander
:ngs and was married to George T.
Dufford, in Durango, Col. There she
lived nearly ten years, until her hus-
band was killed in mine explosion.
Married Three Times.
She drifted back to Illinois, where
she married j. Frank Miller, in Streat-
or, who later deserted her. In 1900 she
married Charles w. Stalder, in CHI
cage.
Harvey M. McCaskey, Grant county
representative to the State Legislature
of Indiana, has taken an interest IN
the case and has assisted the police
there. He said he knew the Jones fam
lily we'll.
Jones had married Mrs. Salmon, who
at that time had two daughters, one
sixteen and one younger. After
time Jones was arrested for attacking
the eldest daughter. Mrs. Jones
grieved over the disgrace until she was
mental wreck.
Jones is alleged to have procured a
deed for the land owned by Mrs. SAL
mon when he married her. The deco
was made by her after her mind De-
came affected, and the deed set aside
and annulled by the court was the deco
made while in that condition.
Mr.. McCaskey said Henry w. Jones'
and Elmira Jones disappeared, and no
one in the neighborhood ever knew
what became of them.
Mr. McCaskey said it would be no
trouble for the daughter in Chicago to
recover the property. as it was known
at the time that Mrs. Jones was IN
sane and had been robbed of her farm
of one hundred acres.
Detectives are working on the mat
ter of locating Mrs. Jones, If she IS
alive, and if she is dead, to learn the
cause of her death.

Chicago, ILL.,. May 31.-For years
Mrs. Alice A. Stalder of No. 326 West
Randolph street, has dreamed that she
was entitled to 100 acres of rich farm
ing land near Marion, Ind. She has
now received word from there that she
is entitled to 1t, and that her right
to it was found in the records Of the
Circuit Court
She has also dreamed that her moth
er has been murdered and detectives
are investigating to find If that is
true.
Twenty years ago Mrs. Staider left
Anderson, Ind, to earn her own liv-
ing. Eight sisters and brothers and
father and mother have since then dis
appeared and all trace of them is lost.
In 1884 she learned her mother was
in Wilmington, ILL.,, but when she
reached there her mother had disap+
peared. Here and there in various
parts of the country Mrs. Stalder found
traces Of her lost relatives, but the
clues resulted in nothing more than
reports.
Investigation by the police and a
search of the court records in Marion,
Ind, reveal the fact that twenty years
ago Henry w. Jones and his wife sud
denly disappeared after much litiga-
ton in the courts, in which figured
kidnapping and illegal transferring Of
realty. The authorities there say that
Mrs. Stalder is entitled to 100 acres
of valuable land, which she can re-

Upon the conclusion of the song bv

Purse turned the monuments over to

that body, the future custody and con-
troll of these stately memorials, reared
by the voluntary contributions of your
fellow citizens in this beautiful spot
to perpetuate patriotic sacrifice and
distinguished worth, and l ask your
acceptance of them.
'On Saturday last, standing near
the position l occupy to-day, watch,
ing the work as stone was put upon
stone, a gentleman nearby said he was
delighted to see these monuments go
up in the very heart of the city, as
only few days before one of his chill
dren at school had in her lessons to
name five great generals on the Con-
federate side in the war between the
states, and the answer provided for
the question did not include a single
Georgian, which induced the child,
with evident concern, to inquire if
Georgia had any general officers in
that war.
This incident has made me feel that
what has been accomplished here to-
day will not be in vain, and that we
are already reaping the fruits of our
labors.
