CHARLESTON’S MONUMENT
THE AUXILIARY COMMITTEE
TAKEN TO T.\s K.
art that Their Cottrio in Preparing
for the Oelehration Will Not Arouse
Much Enthusiasm or Mke It a Bril
liant Buccess—The Merchant* of the
Jity Aroused and Bound to Have a
Military Display
Charleston, April I.— The earth
quake being over, Feb. 22 being passed,
and the fi eeze of Tuesday last having
killed all the cabbages, potatoes, peas
and cucumbers in the vicinity, Charles
ton finds itself now with nothing to dis
cuss but the Calhoun monument, and the
discussion has taken a very lively turn.
The monument. It may be said, ie up. It
took nearly a third of a century to get up,
but it is finally up, and it promises to be,
when finished, a very handsome monu
ment-worthy of tbo memory of the great
statesmen and of the association which
raised the funds for its purchase and
saved them during and after the war, and
of the great sculptor, Haruisch.
DATE OF THE UNVEILING.
The date for unveiling the monument
bas been fixed for April 20, next, the an
niversary of the Calhoun funeral, and to
ihat day Charleston’s eyes are turned
wfth longing, combined with some im
patience, at the (act that the auxiliary
ocmmittee of old gentlemen, who give ut
terance to the views of the committee of
young ladies representing the Calhoun
Monument Association, don’t seem to be
able to make up their minds what they
are going to do about the unveiling oere
momes. There are not many men alive
to-day in Charleston who contributed to
the fund, but their descendants are here,
and are largely represented in the busi
ness portion of thecommunity. Calhoun
was in no sense of the word a Charles
touian, although his remains rest beneath
a sarcophagus of Vermont granite in St.
Phillips’ churchyard, and the first monu
ment to his memory has been erected
within the souudof the guns of Fort Sum
ter, if Fort Sumter guns should e’er be
heard again.
A STATE EVENT.
The business men of the city have been
anxious to have the ceremonies so ar
ranged as to make it a Slate event, and
the idea was thrown out several weeks
ago that a military demonstration, which
should include the soldiers of the entire
State, should be a part of the programme.
Jt was known that the association bad a
large surplus of the tuud on hand, thanks
to the admirable management of the fund
oy the committee, and it was Intimated
that they could well afford to contribute
>I,OOO out of the SB,OOO in their hands to
a fund to entertain the visiting military,
the merobauts undertaking to raise
whatever deficiency might have been
•required. Day after day passed, however,
without eliciting a word from the com
mittee as to their intentions, and people
began to grow impatient, and as a conse
quence “cards” and interviews appeared
In the public prints.
THE COMMITTEE MAD.
This seemed to make the committee
mad, and finally on Wednesday last a
meeting was bad and it was determined
to issue an invitation to the people of the
{State at large to participate in the cere
monies. It was intimated that tne com
mittee could not afford to oon tribute any
thing to the entertainment of the visiting
military, and further that the presence of
the military was not desired. This made
the merchants mad, and they forthwith
intimated that they would subscribe
the funds and bring the State.militla here,
provided the committee would condescend
to give them a place in the procession.
The committee found itself in an un
pleasant predicament. It held a meeting
yesterday and adouted resolutions, wbicn
were not published, but in which it was
intimated that all visiting organizations
would be assigned places in the proces
sion. It was also intimated in a kind of
left-handed way that a small appropria
tion would be made out of the surplus
runds of the association to aid in enter
taimng the visitln? nuiltia, so that hopes
are now entertained that everything will
be amicably arrauged and everybody sat
isfied.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, APRIL 2, 1887.
GEN. R. S. RIPLEY.
A More Extended Account of His
Career and Death.
Of Gen. R. S. Ripley, whose death was
announced in Wednesday’s issue of the
Morning News, the New York World
says: Gen. K. S Ripley, who commanded
the Confederate batteries that first opened
fire on Fort Sumter, was stricken with
apoplexy yesterday morning at the New
York Hotel and died at 8 o’clock last
night.
Gen. Riplev, who had been living a* the
New York Hotel for some years, came
down to the breakfast room yesterday
morning and ale a hearty meal. He after
ward arose and approached the table of
Gen. Newton, Commissioner of Public
Works, who is an old friend
of bis, but just as he reached Gen.
Newton’s table be fell forward on his
face and when picked up was found to be
insensible. Dr. Norris was summoned
and pronounced that the General was
suffering from an attack of apoplexy and
that his recovery was very doubtful.
Gen. Ripley remained in ncoraatose state,
growing perceptibly worse until death
cams. The stricken man was large and
stout, and was apparently in perfect
health, except for occasional attacks of
asthma, during which he suffered consid
erately and would walk around the cor
ridors of the hotel during ail hours of the
night.
Gen. Ripley some two years ago, in a
very interesting interview, gave his rem
iniscences of the attact on Sumter. He
was in immediate command of the guns
that opened the Mtack, He had his
headquarters at Fort Moultrie, and in the
sands of Sullivan’s Island there were
several quite formidable batteries. A
Capt. James was in command ot Fort
Johnston, on the other side of Sumter.
Singularly enough, however, Gen. Rip
ley. the Confederate, was a native ot
Ohio, while Maj. Anderson, the Federal
commander, was irotit the slave State of
Kentucky. Gen. Ripley had married and
had lived for many years in South Car
olina.
“1 had ordered,” saicl Gen. Ripley,
“some cocked hats for our uniforms, and
on the day betore toe attack I met a b y
with a box in bis band running towards
Fort Moultrie. •Where'll 1 find Gen.
Ripley?’ he asked me. ‘And what do you
wantot him?’ said 1. ‘Why,’ said tne
breathless youngster, T heard they were
to start firing on Fort Sumter and I must
get this bat to him before they start in.’
He thought the attack could not be made
unless i was in full regalia. As It hap
pened, 1 was awakened an hour or two
before the first shot was tired by a false
alarm tbat the signal to begin hostilities
bad been given, and 1 rusbed out in my
night-clothes and oaugbt up the
cocked-hat on the way. That
was all my uniform—a cocked
bat and a night-gown. The first signal
catne several hours afterwards and I bad
plenty of time to dress. It was al 4:60 in
the morning, a rocket from Beauregard’s
headquarters near Charleston. My signal
to the batteries on Sullivan’s Island was
three lanterns hoisted on a staff in Fort
Moultrie. The first shot was from an
8-iuch cannon close by my station in the
fort. It struck fairly the masonry of Sum
ter. a moment later and all the batteries
on the island opened, and at the instant
we saw a flash df guns on Fort Johnston.
The greatest war in history had begun.
Maj. Anderson paid little attention to us
for the first half-hour. He concentrated
his lire on Fort Johnston. My batteries
set fire to the barracks and It was only
when we smoked him out tbat Anderson
gave in.”
Gen. Ripley was also the author of an
interesting letter of date Dec. 25, 1804, to
Gen. McGrath, of South Carolina, in
which he offered to surrender his commis
sion in order to accept a command with
the State troops, then beine hastily
raised to oppose Sherman’s march to the
sea. In it Gen. Ripley complained of the
failure of the Confederate government to
provide any adequate defense for the pro
tection of South Carolina, and proposed
the enlisting of slaves to be used as
troops. Gen. Ripley’s criticism of Mr.
Jefferson Davis is quite characteristic:
“Mr. Davis had a great ability in placing
round pegs in square boles.”
TWO LITTLE TRAVELERS.
They < omo fYoin San Francisco to
Live With Tlieir Father.
Pittsburg, March 29.— Two little boys,
with tugs pinned on their coats reading,
“To J. T. Borch, 42 Third avenue. New
York,” arrived in the city this morning
from San Francisco. They were travel
ing alone. One was .'! years of age and
the other 10. The conductor placed them
In the care of Policeman Thomas Pender
at the Union station, and they were taken
into the restaurant for breakfast. The
smaller of the two could hardly reach the
table, and in an attempt todo so upset a
glass ot milk in his lati. Policemau
Pender then took him in his arms and ted
him with a spoon. The elder boy told the
story of their journey.
A couple of years ago, he said, his
mother eloped and went to San Francisco,
A few months ago she placed them in an
asylum. Their father, who is an engi
neer on the New York Central railway,
learned of their whereabouts, and sent
money for their passage to New York.
The ladies who breakfasted at the depot
this morning became deeply interested in
the lltile travelers, and those who were
going East said the children would be
well cared for while en route to their
destination. This is the first time that
two such young children have crossed
the continent alone. The conductor who
brought them from Chicago said they
were the pets of every one on the train.
The smaller one was ns lively as a
oricket, and his little black eyes sparkled
with intelligence. His name, he said,
w as “Gussy.”
Newspapers ami Railroads.
Cincinnati. April I.—The Cincinnati
newspapers appear to-day without the
customary column giving the time of ar
rival and departure of trains. This It in
accordance with a proposition made by
the newspapers jointly, in view of the
stoppage of passes, to stop free publica
tion of matter tor the benefit ol railroads,
but to accept tickets in payment for all

cepting the proposition for advertise

time tables should not be regarded as an
advertisement.

A Bear Movement Temporarily Af
lects the Market.
From Thursday’a Rmu <7r.) Eutlotin.
Some operators have been attempting
to bear the Land Company’s stock. They
succeeded in checking the rise yesterday
morning and the night before, and even
pulled it down a few points. They took .
eagerly of it at 200. and yesterday Crane,
Vermilye & Wingfield sold about sixty
Shares all the way from 196 to 220. At
night nothing was left on the market as
low as 200, and we may expect to
see the stock considerably higher
since the transfers are accomplished
and the Rome and Carrollton con
struction is announced to begin in
thirty days, and tracklaying on the Rome
and Decatur will begin at this end in
about twenty days. According to prices
on all sides of the company’s property,
their options are worth at least three for
one on cost, and the location of rolling
mill and furnace will make them still
more valuable. The stock is intrinsically
worth more than it lias ever sold for, and
no bear movement can have more than a
temporary effect. It is probable that the
prospect of heavy assessments in
the near future lacilitated the
hear movement. If, lor instance,
40 per cent, should be called in at once
and 60 per cent, within thirty days,
some parties who have taken on more
than they were able to carry will be in
the market as sellers for a day or two pre
vious to the day o>i which the assess
ments fall due. W hen tnat date passes
all the subscriptions will have been paid
up, whetber by present holders or by buy
ers of their stock and those who then have
it, being iu possession of lull paid up
stock, will be in position to hold indefi
nitely. The result will be a buoyant
market, with buyers more numerous and
•ager tnan sellers, and the stock will al
once begin to climb. It will
not stop until it has passed
the highest point yet recorded, it is
possible that some few parties loreseeing
tnis very natural movement ot stock dur
ing thepiext thirty days have sold at 200 to
220, expecting to buy back the same
annum during the few days immediately
previous to assessments filling due at a
few points less than present prices. Any
auempt to bear this stock should be dep
recated, because it is recognized as the
pulse of public confidence, it also rep
resents the savings of a great many who
cannot afford to lose their little all, but
might, on account of inexperience in
such matters, become nervous and sell
out for much less thau the intrinsic value
of the stock, and mucb less than it will
be sure to bring before long.
The trustees of the Land Company have
decided to udbere to their original plan
and issue $1,000,000 worth oi stock, of
which SOOO,OOO goes to the original sub
scribers and $400,000 to be preferred stock
and sold at par by the company. This
will put $400,000 cash into the treasury in
addition the $150,000 already secured.
Tne preferred stock and the common
stock will both bear 6 per cent, interest,
and after acertaln amount is set aside for
improvements the rest of proceeds trom
sale ot land, afier paying iutereston com
mon and preferred stock, will go to pay
back subscribers to pre.'erred stock.
When that is paid their stock becomes
common. This is, substantially, the plan,
but may be somewhat modified.
Wednesday night the officers of the
Rome street railroad formally turned the
charter and franemse, with the property,
over to the Land, Iron and improvement
Company. The latter company holds the
stock of the street railroad, which will be
preserved as a separate corporation,
though owned and controlled by the Land
Company. Tbe business ot the street rail
road has increased 100 per cent, since the
extension to East Rome depot, and the
road is paving a good dividend on tbe
stock. It will prove a valuable property
to the Land Company.
AUGUSTA REAL ESTATE.
Seventy Thousand Dollars Profit in
One Transaction.
From the Birmingham sew%.
The News congratulates Mr. N. W.
Armstrong, the wide awake real estate
agent, whose office is in the Western
Union telegraph building, corner
Twenty-flrst street and Second avenue,
on his increasing business, vim and en
terprise generally, but particularly on
his last deal. Mr. Armstrong just
“stepped over” to Augus.a, paid"s37,soo
lor a tract of land, turned round on his
heels aud sold it to a syndicate lor
SIOO,OOO, $02,500 thus being added
to Birmingham wealth and bank de
posits; he retains also one tilth of the
stock. The land Res near Auuusta, Ga.,
and consists ot—we clip from an exchange
—the eutire Warren estate, three miles
from the city, containing 2,000 acres of
land. They intend erecting a hotel and
quite a number ot oottage* on this place,
to be used tor both a summer and winter
resort. The land Is almost perfectly
level, and is fully ;!00 (ect above the city,
overlooking Lake Olmstead on the East,
and directly North of Summerville about
one mile.
The capitalists,through their attorney,
Mr. F.T. Lockhart, are now endeavoring
to get permission to run a street car track
into the city, and when this permission is
granted they will build a line from their
place to ibe city, running dummy en
gines. The track will probably be con
structed along the CBual bank. the
Augusta and Knoxville also runs right
through the place, aud, in case the lirst
plan lails, the company controlling the
newsettl meat may b -able to use the rail
road right of way lor dummy engines, or,
at any rate, obtain an accommodating
schedule running into and from the citv.
This is truly a beautiful site lor such a
resort, and It Is certainly strange that the
oltizens of Augusta did not take advan
tage ot such an opportunity instead of
leaving it for capitalists from otner States.
When their improvements are completed
they will undoubtedly realize handsome
profits from such a resort.
Just last week Birmingham scooped up
the street cur lines of Chattanooga; now
Birmingham gets about all the money
possible out of Augusta,
