MANS TERRIBLE FATE
George P. Hammond Thrown From
Carriage and Burned to Death.

George P. Hammond Thrown From
Carriage and Burned to Death.
George Purnell Hammond, a prom
inent farmer, go years of age, who
resided on the farm of Alfred W.
Powell, president of the Milford
Trust Company, about five miles north
of Milford, met with horrible death,
Saturday, October 16. He was re-
turning home after a drive to Mil
ford, when passing the Tub Mill his
horse took fright at something lying
in the road and jumped to one side,
throwing Mr.. Hammond out of his
buggy. 1t IS supposed Mr.. Hammond
was smoking his pipe at the time,
and in falling the pipe set fire to his
clothes. Being stunned he was not
able to put out tie fire, and as the
wind was blowing the fire was soon
famed into blaze. Mrs. Hender-
son, residing nearby was attracted
by the smoke and ran to the spot,
but before she got there all the vic
Tins clothes were burned from his
body. He was alive and conscious,
however, and requested her to have
him taken to his home, a few miles
away. Help was soon summoned and
he was taken home. DR.. William
Marshall, Jr, was called and did all
he could to relieve the unfortunate
man, but he died that night. Mr..
Hammond leaves a wife and six child
rem, all of them grown.

For many years old Col. Lee resided
in Ninth street, New York. near the
Hotel St Denis. He is still remem-
bered by hundreds of New Workers for
his bright manner and happy, apt re-
marks. When the project for erecting
an equestrian statue to Gen. Washing
ton in Union square was proposed
Col. Lee was intrusted with one of the
subscription papers for circulation
Shortly after receiving 1t he ap-
preached well-known citizen and
asked for subscription. But the citi-
zen declined to subscribe, stating In a
rather pompous manner:
Il do not consider, sir. that there is
any necessity for a monument to Mr..
Washington. His fame is undying,
sir; he is enshrined in the hearts of
his countrymen"
