MECKINO'S nANY WIVES.
He Says That They Would More Than
Fill a Car.
Newark, N. J., Pent. 2!—Charic#
Becking, whose record show# he la fa
miliar with the tnatde of state prison*,
1# under arre#t here, and I# tielng held
for the New York city authorities. De
tective Madden of the Now York cen
tral office came here today, and Identi
fied him a* the man wanted on the
charge of defrauding Mr#. Margarette
Does of 509 Kast Eleventh street, Man
hattan. out of MOO.
Kecking, who claims to lie sixty years
old, but looks at least ten years young
er, appears to have been making a liv
ing by swindling women, usually under
promise of marriage.
His method of pvoesdurs has been
to advertise under the guise of a wagl
thy widower, for a wife, or eiae to
make the acquaintance of a wealthy
widow and obtain the money of the
woman replying, either before or after
going through a wedding ceremony.
liecktng took his arrest and Identifi
cation coolly, and grew very talkative.
He said women were easily vtetimlxed.
All one had to do was to talk marriage
to them, and they could he" led any
where.
He said his wives would fill a trolley
car. and borne would have to stand for
luck of room to alt down.
Widows were the most susceptible, he
said, and middle-aged unmarried wo
men came next.
Young women under 25. he declared,
were of no use to him, for their minds
were too much taken up with romantic
thoughts, and they could not treat mar
riage coolly.
Our constant aim will be to please our
patrons, both tn goods and prices, Dam
kin & Co.

tip a street from the monument to
Broad.
Th* property era* purchased and
Monument street openerl at a root of

On July S. HtoS. It waa determined
that th* monument should be raised.
This woark waa given to Mr. Theo
dore Markwalter.
When the work was don* th* old
corner stone opened and many
curious things discovered The#*

work was completed.
St. James’ Cenotaph.
In the middle of Greene street bet
tween Ktbert and Centre stands the
St. James cenotaph. This was erec
ted by the members of the St James
Sunday school, directly after the rloee
of the war. to the members of the
church who had died In the defense of
their home*. Afterwards many
names of Richmond county heroes
who were killed were added to the list.
Thla property Is still held hy the
church and a hoard of trustees look
after It each year. The young boys
have thoughtlessly Injured It a good
deal by throwing rocks against the
names.
Wilde Monument.
About two yeifrs ago the Hay no cir
cle decided to erect a monument to the
memory of the famous author of "My
Life Is Like a Summer Rose." Richard
Henry Wilde.
As Is well known. Mr. Wilde was of
Irish parentage and came to Augusta
when young. He served as mayor,
congressman, and In many other high
positions, and gained his great reputa
tlo as a writer.
The Hayne circle started a contribu
tion list for the erection of the mon
ument, and received quite a number of
subscriptions from the North and
Bast.
The monument was erected at its
present site on Greene between Mnr
bury and McKinne, and at its unveil
ing Judge Baxter delivered the ad
dress.
For some time the circle has been
thinking of turning over the monu
ment to the city. Judge Baxter
will deliver the address when this is
done.
Broad Street Monument.
Standing on Broad street midway
between Jackson and Mclntosh, and
lifting Its proud pedestal of a Confed
erate private, seventy-six feet above
the asphalt, is the Confederate monu
ment. so familiar to all who live in
or visit Augusta. *
Built of Georgia granite and the fi
nest Italian marble, it Is indeed a fit
ting memorial to the soldiers who died
for their cause.
This monument was erected by the
Ladies' Memorial association of Au
gusta. at a cost of $17,231.34. The
marble portion was imported directly
from Italy, and by the great efforts of
