Robert Vincent Bowen

tn6 curtain JdllS upon buo AdoU aCe
of a most illustrious career. He
passed away at 8:45 Saturday night
and the announcement came as a
great shock to the entire city as it
was not generally known that he
was 50 seriously ill. Mr.. Bowen
had been an invalid for several
years, although most of the time
able to be up and about town.
10. Mr.. Bowen's career is one that
ron,lnal ked with adventure and sue
cess. He has lived in this section
his entire life, and being man of
good business qualities and far
sighted judgementnot withstandlng
the fact that his schooling was
limited, has always known good
proposition and his success in his
every undertaking has enabled him
to amass one of the largest for
tunes in south Georgia. Mr..
Bowen was successful as farmer,
lumberman, merchant, steamboat
owner, real estate dealer, manufac-
turer of naval stores, brick manu-
facturer, and banker. And the
most remarkable feature about the
life of this man of affairs is that
his dealings have always been
characterized by honesty and fair
ness and there is not man in the
county who in his lifetime has en-
loved the unboLnded confidence of
his business associates and fellow
man to any greater extent than
r. V. Bowen.
Robert Vincent Bowen was born
at Bowen's Mill, Ga, on August
4. 1887. His father was William
Bowen, a native of Rhode Island
a decendent of the ancient and
honorable family of Bowens of
Glamorgan, Wales.
The boyhood days of Robert V.
Bowen were spent on his fathers
farm and around the mill.
In 1859 he married Miss Mary
Louise Reid, of Wilcox County,
a member of one of most proml-
nent families of south Georgia, and
to this union were born six chill
dren: Nancy Frances, who died
when nine years of age; Mary S.
who is now Mrs. j. D. Mashburn;
William r., the well-known mer-
IS SAINT ant and banker of this city; Lula,
who is now Mrs. J. 0. Shepherd;
Celia, who died at the age of
twenty-four; and Abba, now Mrs.
D. B. Ware.
In the war between the states,
Mr.. Bowen enlisted in Company
''E" Forty-ninth Georgia Regi-
ment. Shortly after enlisting, he
was elected second lieutenant and
served IL this capacity until the
close of the war.
In 1884, Mr.. Bowen moved with
his family to Hawkinsville, in
order to give his children adYant-
ages in an educational way. he
..fterward moved back to Lulaville
and about six years ogo, moved
with his wife to Fitzgerald, occu-
pying their handsome home at the
corner of south Maine and Jessa-
mine. Mr.. Bowen was director
cf the American Soldiers Colony
Company, and it was through his
strenuous efforts that the city OF
Fitzgerald was located on its pres
ent site.
At the time of his death he was
president of the Exchange Nation

New York--Liabilities, S5,ooo,ooo.

| New York, Nov. 1.-THE suspension
of Ii. B. Hollins & Co., the banking and
brokerage firm, was announced on the
stock exchange yesterday afternoon.
The firm organized more than twenty
years ago, was one of the best known
in the financial district. 1t had large
interests in Mexico and represented in
this city several of the largest financial
institutions of that country. Harry b.,
Hollins, senior member of the firm was
for many years close social and bust
ness intimate of the late j. p. Morgan.
Among his other business intimates was
William X. Vanderbilt, who was asso-
ciated with the Hollins firm for some
time in its Mexican enterprises. The
firm was organized on Oct. |, 1892, and
maintains branch office at Berlin,
An involuntary petition in bankruptcy
was filed against the firm in the United
States district court shortly after the

creditors with claims aggregatng the
nominal sum of $66l. The petition set
forth that the firms liabilities amounted
to S5,000,0O0 with assets of some $50
900. The petition further set forth that
the failure was due to the withdrawal of
large deposits which impaired the firms
capital. A. Leo Everett was appointed

Southern New England Has
Agreed to Complete a
Bridge in Providence
STATEMENT BY
MAYOR GAMER
Believes There Will Be Cen
eral Resumption of Work
in the Near Future

Providence, r. l., Nov. l4.-Mayor Jo-
seph II. Gamer gave out statement
yesterday noon, following a conference
with officials of the Southern New Eng
land railway. He said that the railroad
had agreed to complete at once its bridge
on Elmwood avenue in this city, one OF
the largest single pieces of work left
uncompleted when the Rhode Island lay
out of the road was abandoned more
than a year ago, The mayors state
ment also intimated that there would
be general resumption of work by the
Southern New England on its layout in
the near future.
The statement followed conference
yesterday between Mr.. Gamer, Vice
President John S. Murdoch of the South
ern New England II. ID. Warner, engi-
neer of construction for the road, and
other city officials.
When the Rhode Island layout of the
road was abandoned, the Emwood ave-
nue. bridge was left half built, and has
remained in that condition ever since.
Traffic on it has been dangerous and the
passageway for vehicles narrow. Com
plants were received by the mayor as to
the condition, and for some time he has
been in communication with the South
ern New England regarding it. His
statement of yesterday is regarded as
authoritive, and the mayor himself says
that the decision of the road to finish
the bridge should be taken as an evil
dence of its good faith in the completion
of the whole layout.

PUTS IN CLAIM
FOR JOHN MCMAHON
Fairfield Man Is Inclined to Dispute the
Right of George w. Flagg to Claim
Wrestling Championship.

Since The Times printed an interview
with ex-senator George w. Flagg of
East Braintree, the Orange county
wrestler and onetime champ, many
men of the older generation of wrest-
lers have argued pro and con as to
whether Mr.. Flagg should be credited
with first honors or whether some 9th
er man, by his record on the mat, should
receive the title. Herewith is given the
statement of a man who is in a posi-
tion to know the status of good many
old-time followers of the game. This
time the call is sounded from Fairfield
where hardy wrestlers used to spring
first from the soil and then for the first
man who presented a claim to honors
on the mat
Editor of The Times, Dear Sir:--I no.
ticed in one of the columns Of your pa
per under date of Nov. that George w.
Flagg of Braintree, VT, was the star
performer on the mat, throwing such
men as the late John Mcmahon of Fair
field and Fl, NJ. Dufur of Waterbury.
In regard to Mr.. Flagg's throwing Mr..
Dufur ! have nothing to say; but | will
say that during the time wrestling was
in favor, not only in Vermont, but
throughout the world when the partici-
pants were wrestling for championships,
that neither Mr.. Fiagg nor any other
man ever won a match from John Me
Mahon. The championship of the world
at this time was held by Major Me
Laughlin of Detroit. Mich, and was won
from him by James Owens of Fairfield
VT. in match held ut Music hall in
Boston. Mr.. Owens then held the cham
pionship. but not the belt, as that be-
longed to Major Mclaughlin by right
of possession.
"Then, there being a new champion,
new tournament was formed and
new championship belt put up. This
belt Mr.. Owens won in a match wrestled
in Madison Square Garden, New York,
with Mr.. Martin. another western man,
and then protected the championship
and belt by winning matches from
Mr.. Connors. Mr.. Murphy, in fact all
corners up to the time OF his failing
health.
"Mr. Owens then gave the belt to his
cousin, John Mcmahon, of Fairfield. who |
also protected it by meeting all Corners |
up TO the time of his death few years
ago. This championship belt may still |
be seen at Mr.. McMahon's old home in |
Fairfield.
so fail to see where Mr.. Flagg ever |
won match from John McMahon. One |
word more; Mr.. Owens and Mr.. Me- |
Mahon never lost match and had the |
distinction of never wrestling fake |
match.
