LE A1) VILLJTS (rfi A VEYA Hi) THE 3,300 OCCUPANTS OF GRAVES AT EVERGREEN. Teiias Jack’s Strange Epitaph-The Komestako Monument -Vivian’s Un honorwd Resting Place—Decoration Day Enlarged Upon-The Long Rec ord of Mining Fatalities—The Perils of Sleeping Off a Drunk in the Open Air. A Leadville Col., letter to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat says: The ltio Grande train climbs a long hill and steams into Leadville ujion a ridge. To the east of the track is spread out the city of the living. On the slope to the west is the city of the dead. leadville started a graveyard early and patronized it well. For a time the head boards were planted almost as rapidly on one side of the hill us tho claim-stakes wero driven on the other. There are lid,ooo reel less money-seekers up here among the clouds and tho snow drifts of mid July. There nre 3,300 graves in the gravel,among tho bright given pines. The mortality of the early history of this 10-year-old city was frightful. Men lay down at night to sleep off a drunk and never awoke. Nature plays queor freaks with vital organs at an altitude of 10,035 feet. Health was neglected in the wild mad rush for carbonates. Men ato when they cmdd get time, slept uny where, and never refused an invitation to drink. Under such condi tions Leadville acquired the name of ‘‘The Pneumonia City,” and graves were in great demand. More people between the ago of 30 and 35 arc 1 buried hero than in any other cemetery in tho world, that is in proportion to the whole number, and such a strange assort ment. of histories the sod nowhere else covers. In what other burial place can tho visitor stand and moralize beside the grave of a man who was given twenty hours by the Vigilance Committee to leave town and who died of pneumonia before tho time was up? THE HOME3TAKE. Perhaps the most conspicuous object at Evergreen is the Homcstake Monument. The inscription tells tho whols story so far as it is known. It is simply this: MiCMOIUAL EIIECTED BY CITIZENS OF LEADVILLE To the Victims of a Suowslide AT IIOMESTAKE MINE February, 1885. And on the sido panels are the names of the ten mon whose bodies were dug out of the snow. They wore living in a cabin on tho mountain side, near the mine. One morning Leadville looked toward the Home stake, rubbed her eyes, and looked again. There was no cabin in sight—nothing but a groat mass of snow and ice, which hod slipped down and buried all. Tho monu ment stands iu the centre of a little plot of sacred soil, dowu upon which the kneeling, anguish-stricken woman looks and forever prays. Nature bos provided a beautiful grove of young pines, but tins is all she has done for Evergreen Cemetery. The soil is the coars est gravel. Soil is brought from the banks of tho Arkansas, miles away. Two Mis sourians, the Bulls, father and son, from near Hannibal, have charge of the ceme tery, and the}’ have done much to beautify the grounds. THE LITTLE ONES. The saddest of the peculiar features in which Evergreen abounds are the little clus ters of short graves. “When dpath gets into a family here,” said a Leadville man, speaking of the mortality, “you have no idea how it wall clean them all out.” As an illustration of this the children of Mrs. Pitts were referred to. This unfortunate woman lost a child every Wednesday and buried one every Thursday until her house was empty, the Breene family—mother and three chil dren—wero carried off in one winter. Two of the Connors children came at one trip of the hearse, and near by ure buried all the Crilleys but the wife and mother. The Mc- Kennas have four little graves in Evergreen and perhaps twenty families have as many as three children here. The Praters —mother and four children—lie in tho Odd-Fellows’ lot. There are lots in the free ground and the potter’s field. In the free ground only the graves are paid for, and the squares—live graves deep if grown persons and six deep if children—are filled ns tho bodies come, without regard to past associa tions. Tljpre the dead lie iu methodically arrangod rows. MEETINGS ON RESURRECTION MORN. When tho last trump blows what strange ly assorted groups will arise from those solid squares of the Leadville Cemetery! Here, tor instance, Charles C. Windoai, who took morphine at the Tabor Grand Hotel; Richard Driver, who was killed in tho Robert E. Lee mine: Lizzie Harmon, the actress, and Charles Stewart, hung by tho Vigilauoo Committee, will find themselves near enough together to shake hands. A little way off will lie Frank Gilbert and Merrick Rosencranz, who were hung by process of law. Rosencranz shot his partner because they wero both smitten with tho charms of one frail maiden, and Gilbert shot his paitner because he was not divid ing fair on the charcoal they were making and selling. “Pay me, or you go East in a box,” Gilbert said, and the result was boxes for two. Very near tho scaffold pair are Charles Linnen, “a hold-up,” shot while trying to roh somebody; an unknown, who had starteii to Leadville in a freight-car and was found frozen stiff; Buchanan, who dropped dead in the street: John Riotluniller, who shot himself; John Kramer, whose bones were found out on the boulevard when the spring run melted the snow a year ago; and Cyrus -dmich, hung last year for the murder of ‘‘'mm Baldwin. The grave of Baldwin is not far off, and the neat headstono erected by Eastern relatives boars almost the only bit of poetry in the Evergreen Cemetery: Rear wife and children, I mint leave you, I wave, yes. leave you all alone. Hut my blessed Savior calls me, Calls me to a Heavenly home. Loodville sentiment does not run to rhyme. It provides Christian burial, sometimes a piece of marble, but oftonor the wooden hoiulbourd and the briefest possible inscrip tion. Probably four-tilths of tlie graves show only the name of the occupant, i hcro is neither date of birth nor date of deutli. C. VIVIAN. There is one grave to which theatrical ponpic-aro frequent visitonrs, and they go “" ay telling the sexon that in the near future something will be done by the pro fe-:siou in tiio way of providing u more suit aide place for the occu|>uut. This particular grave is in one of thosuuares of froe ground, •m I on the little weather-benteu headboard there cun lie distinguished with much dilll culty the name: “C. Vivian.” In the early times of Leodvillo Charley Vivian "’as the idol of the miners. lie had a salury 01 W5O a week and “gave It all away.” Ho used to sing •• Ten Thousand Mil** Away,” "ith such pathos the boys could never get enough. Then, when he went off the “bige after the last encore, lie would suy, feelingly: “If you had learned that u-s I learned ft you could sing it as I sing it.” \ ivinn was an Rnglisliman, with a strong home love. His wife was a well-bred, culti vated woman, the daughter of a Church of Ruglund clergyman in London. Hut there was another song of Vivian's over which Iwadvillo wont wilder still. It "'as a song which voiced the reckless, late-teinptiiig spirit of the new community, wvlan had become tbo personification °f ! hat spirit, and the song was part of him- Ml# TO THE NEXT WHO DIES. “Hare's a health to the next who dim.” * r ®J tlie iWraln, und the application wus lit to Lvadville, as it had been many years be- fo-e to the Eng'ishmen in India when the plague was abroad and death waited at the door while the revelry went on within. *uby, hurrah for the uext who dies,”sang lvian, and his hearers shouted their in dorsement of the sentiment. Later on Viv ians corpse was by chance the one with whirh tiie Leadville Undertaking Com a:iy’s brand new hearse made its initial trip over the hill. On the way out the band plu ved “Ten Thousand Miles Away,” but when the cobble-stones were rattling down upon tho coffin tho musicians burst with “Here’s health to the next who dies.” And ad this was as V iviun had expressed a desire that it should be. 1 beatrieal people hero say that Vivian had more than any other one man to do with the founding of the Order of Elks in this country. If tlnsisso it wouldbe a neat thing for t ',ie brethren to replace the weather worn pine board with a column of marble, v isiting actors have repeatedly said it should bo attended to, but it never has been. TEXAS JACK. The most striking monument of all is that which marks the resting-place of Texas Jack, as he was 1 jet ter known than by his name of J. B. Onbohundro. Texas Jack entered the show business about the same time that Buffalo Bill, did and he was only second to Cody in promise. He had married a famous ballet dancer, and was filling an engagement here when pneumonia carried him off. His grave is in a well-cared-for lot, and is marked by a slab bearing thejiu scriptiou: Snore i to the Memory of TEXAS JACK. (.1. B. OMOHCNDRO). Died June 38 isso. Bt>. l’noumonia. The inscription occupies but a small place on the slab, w’hich is fairly covered with artistic work. First there is a good repre sentation of a cartridge belt, with pistols crossed and bowieknifo sheathed. Below is sketched the trusty Winchester, ami then the head of Texas Jack’s favorite horse, Yel low Chief. On the reverse of the slab are fingers pointing Heavenward, and the inscription, “Rest in peace. Remembered by his young friends, J. J. Levy anil M. C. Levy.” If Texas Jack had designed his own head board he could not have done better. His wife, in respect for his memory, retired from the stage. THE DECORATION IDEA DEVELOPED. To the credit of Leadville let it be said, her dead are not forgotten. Decoration day means more here than the remembrance of those who fell in battle. This city did not come into existence until twelve years after the war was over, but there are few places where Decoration-day is so generally observed in a literal sense. At the foot of the Homostake monument there is a great wreath of evergreen bearing the date of May 30, 1887, and the inscription: “Decorated in Memory of the Homestake Boys.” But little leas imposing than the Home stake monument is the one “erected by the employes of the Chrysolite mine to their fallen companions.” .And here are nine names and the recent decoration which is general throughout the cemetery. Ono of the Chrysolite victims was impaled by.au iron pipe, which went through his body' and bored its way into the timbering of the shaft so far that it could not be loosened by hand. And there the brave miner stood pinned to the timbers, fully’ conscious and calmly giving direction. Not until a rope was fastened to the pipe and the engine started was he fret'll from his place of tor ture. The carbonate hills have furnished many a hero. Two of tho Chrysolite vic tims died from bail air. One was over come by the gas in the shaft and a comrade went down after him. He raised tho un conscious man in his arms, put him in the bucket, gave thy signal to hoist and fell back. The buckets reached the top, but it contained only a dead man. The wouldbe rescuer had given his in a vain effort to save his friend, but he was just as much a hero in Leadville’s calendar as if he had fully suc ceeded. Why shouldn’t such graves be honored? A MURDERED MARSHAL. Side by side lie the O’Connor brothers. George Edward’s mounment reads: “Mur dered while faithfully discharging his duty as Marshal of this city, April 35, 1878.’’ James B. was a city official, and two wives are keeping his memory green by a lawsuit over the property he left. A conspicuous shaft with crossed swords shows where lie the bones of Col. Randolph Carpenter. He was the model militiamau of Leadville, and was shot while trying to hold some property in dispute at Buena Vista. There is a stone in the centre of a well kept square to show whore the four Prettie boys were buried. They were two pairs of brothel's. Louis, Nicola, and Joseph wore killed by a “cave-in” at the Col. Sellers mine and tho fourth fell off a bucket ut the same mine. Christmas evo VV. A. Morris started to a dance and fell into a snow-hidden shaft, not to be found until a month afterward. “Many go that way,” comments the philosophical gravedigger. These hills are full of holes and the snow covers them. James E. Mil burn, a surveyor, engaged in running a line, stopjied into one of these pitfalls aud per ished. THE DEATH-ROLL OF THE MINES. The mining business is responsible for a long list of fatalities varied in character. Hero is Michael McGinley, who was work ing on the top of ground in an ore bin. The heavy ore came down upon him aud killed him. A piece of porphyry fell on Matt Mal loy ons Sunday and his naxt grave neighbor in the cemetery was blown up by giautpow der the following Sunday. Louis Sherman's body was frozen stiff at tho corner of the cemetery. Ho had started to cross the valloy ono nignt from Leadville to Sugar Loaf liountain. Thomas Liddicoat fell 150 feet down a shaft. J. M. Gregory fell off his wagon. John Lugenbill, a faro-dealer, was shot and fell across the doorway of the Bank Exchange. Edward Frodsham wus hung by the vigilance qpnnuittoe. Eugene Mut ter was shot over in Lake I’ark and Walter E. Bersen stopped a bullet at Montezuma. Cyprus Mitchell fired tho cartridge that ended his life. P. 11. Buckley had “cleaned up,” drawn all the money coming to him, and was going to leave for his old home in Wisconsin in the morning. He started out for one farewell night on State street, und was found dead with empty pockets iu the morning. And thus the obituaries run almost with out end and no two alike. MV I-ARTNEK. Very frequently there appeals a neat 'headstone with au inscription like this, with uehange of names: “Janies Mouygliuu; erected to his memory bv Thomas W Urown.” Imagination readily supplies the rest of the story of “Mv Partner." One of the most artistic of the smaller monuments bears only the name of tlie dead and below it “friendship's Token.” Out of all those .".000 graves, less than 100 —ninety-four, to Ijo accurate —are in the [letter's Held. One of the ninety-four is tbo resting place of C. Cummins. Leadville tra dition lias it that this man was once able to draw his check for $150,000. He was a Ken tuckian und for a time dealt in line lior.se-i in Louisville. “Fast horses, fast women, and good red liquor,” is tho unwritten epitaph in this case. There are few unknowns, scarce twenty in the wliold place, rather strange to toll, but stopping beside one of them the sextiou slid: “Now, here is the grave of a man I'd give a month’s wages to know something about. He was well dressed, good-looking, and educated. Any one could see he was a gentleman, and had boon in line circum stances. One day he walked into a pawn shop up-town anu asked to sue some revolv ers. lie was shown several, and picked out one which ho said would do. Then ho called for cartridges, and the shopkeeper could Hud only one of the right calibre. •Never mind,’’said the young fellow, ‘one will do t<> start with.’ And then he | minted to a watch and asked to look at that. The shopkeeper turned to get the watch and the THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY. AUGUST 5, 1887. young fellow put the pistol to Ids head and shot himself. There was just 15c. in his pocket. We couldn't find a scrap of p iper or anything to show who he was or where lie had come from. Nobody could identify him.” The sexton stopped a moment as If to re flect on this sad case, and when he resumed conveisation it was to say: “I expect he had been riding the bronco and had got busted.” THE UNFORTUNATES. Something has been said of tho respect shown for the dead bv the living of Lead 'd lie. It is notable that m the four years that the Bulls have had charge of Ever green but one woman of tho town has been put away in the potter’s Hold. There nre hundreds of those poor cyprians resting un der their aliases. The rarity of the atmos phere, the hard life, and morphine make gn|>s in the ranks of this class with great rapidity. But often as the call comes tho survivors go round with the little subscrip tion paper and enough is raised to buy a grave and insure Christian burial. The Laveres fill suicides’ graves. They were trapeze performers Ida died Christ i nas eve and Harry was buried in the March fol lowing. Blonde Lulu, or Mrs. Lulu Hill, killed herself because she was jealous of a musiciun, and overy year ho visits her grave and decorates it with flowers. Rapidly as outraged nature does her work in this climate, Blind Frankie could not wait. She killed herself. So did Alico Gwynne, and Minnie Newton, and Minnie McNamara, and Ada Do Alvin, a trapeze performer. There wits something mysterious about Katie Sullivan’s death and her lover was tried for killing her. Otfau Elliott died from grief soon after her lover committed suicide. And so tho long list of unfortunates is made up. W. B. S. LOVE IN PHILADEPHIA. An Heiress Outwitted in Her Attempts to Wed. From tlie Missouri Republican. “It’s a mighty sharp old man who can get ahead of a young couple who have taken a notion that their future happiness can only be secured by a nuptial knot,” said Henry C. Jordon of Philadelphia at tho Lindell yesterday, “and while the papers are daily chronicling the particulars of successful elopements, the cases where the old gentle man breaks up their little plans are few and far between. But I know of one instance at least where paternal sagacity got the best of youthful energy, and it happened in Hhiladelpliia only fast week, and, the Phila delphia reporters didn’t get on to it either. On one of the most fashionable streets in that city is a big. square, stone-front resi dence, standing away back in tho centre of a spacious lawn. In this building resides one of the richest merchants of Hliiladel phia, a fat, jolly old soul, who rather likes a bowl of good punch and is partial to whist. His only living relative is a daughter, who is a rather handsome girl und remarkably bright, but rather eccentric in matters of dress. The young lady is given as much liberty as any other girl moving in good so ciety, but her father very’ properly koops a sharp lookout for adventurers mid fortune hunters, and no man can have the pleasure of her company without tho old gentleman knows something of his antecedents. About a year ago a young friend of mine began to pay attention to the heiress. Although work ing on a salary he had excellent prospects for the future, and was a number one good fellow in every particular. Upon first ac quaintance, THE YOUNG LADY’S FATHER seemed to look upon his visits with favor, and my friend was apparently iu smooth waters until at last it dawned upon the old gentlemen that his daughter was beginning to show a decided preference for Wilson—as I shaU call him—and he grow cold and dis tant and finally wound up by writing Wil son a curt note, requesting him to discon tinue his visits, and, at the same time, he gave his daughter a bit of fatherly advice in the same connection and warned her against recognizing my young friend in any way. Why this sudden change in parental demeanor I could not, at that time, under stand. The girl, however, was full of spirit, and being by this time deeply in love with Wilson, the warning only angered her, and as the old man doubtless expected she would, mpt him in the park whenever she had an opportunity, and,as a matter of course, op position only strengthened their attachment. These secret meetings wont on for some time and at last the young couple, both be ing of age, decided to settle the matter by getting married. Wilson’s prospects hud been greatly improved, his salary hail been raised and he hail been promised on interest in the concern for which he wus working, so he felt himself able to tako cark of a wife. They had laid all their plans and all they lacked was a parson to tio tho knot, when one day A CLERICAL-LOOKING GENTLEMAN approached them as they wore discussing matters in the park, and, handing them his card, offered his services, volunteering tho explanation that, he had accidentally over heard their conversation. Such enterprise on the part of a preacher looked rather sus picious, but tho name on the card was that of the pastor of a very respectable congrega tion, so they decided to accept his offer, in the meantime the old gentleman had been suspiciously blind to all that was going oil. Well, they prepared to make the jump last Tuesday night when the futlier had gone to tho club, and about 10 o’clock that evening the young lady slipped out by a side door and made her way to the street, where a coupe and Wilson were waiting for her. They drove directly to the minister's resi dence and were ushered into a private parlor, whore the clergyman awaited them. He at once asked where were their wit nesses. That staggered them. It liadn’t occurred to them that witnesses were neces sary. “‘Oh, well, never mind,’ said he, ‘an old friend of mine called upon me this evening and I cun call him and my wifo in to uct in that capacity.’ “He left the room and returned in a few mitiutos with wife and the old gentleman, whom the young I oily immediately recog nized as her father. The would-bo bride wus getting HEADY" TO FAINT, but the temporary weakness was checked by the remarkable actions of her father. The old sinner sat down in a chair and laughed and laughed until ho was purple, mid then ho would blow a little and laugh again, until they begun U> tlgnk lie was going into hysterics. The young People, however failed to s*s* tho joke, finally the old man recov ered himself and made a little speech to the bride and groom. “ ’You youngsters,’ lie said, ‘thought you were playing it mighty smart, but you didn't know that inn and the (virsou here hull been keeping an oyo mi you nil the time. Now, young fellow, I want to tell you some thing. I liuve found out a great deal about you. and believe you are worthy the hand of any woman, and I merely come here to night, although not invited by you, as 1 should liHVe been, to take a I land in this af fair, mid now you can go ahead with the ceremony. I only wanP P> bhow you that in future you had better let the old man in oil the ground floor when any tiling like tills is going on.’ “I imvo learned since that the old gentle man hud heard some hard stories about Wilson, which caused him to so suddenly turn uguinst him. anil finding out after ward that they were untrue and that the young man was in every way worthy of ins daughter's hand, he concluded to let matters take their own course.” Our Pro?rco.
