FLORIDA’S PHOSPHATES.
Hone Interesting Facts About Them
from a Geological Point of View.
Tallahassee, Fla., Jan. IT. —State
Chemist Norman Robinson, who accompa
nied Prof. L. C. J bnson of the United
States geological survey in his explorations
in the neighborhood of Tallahassee, Has pre
pared an article for the next issue of the
Florida Bureau of Immigration's Monthly
Mulled*, giviug some of the details of the
progress of toe survey.
Among other tnines Dr. Robinson says:
"Up to ibe present time the geology of this
portion of Florida has bee.i largely con
jectural. The immense area of what is
termed ‘orange sand,’ which Prof. Hngard
denomina'e* ‘stratified drift of the south,
and of which the hill country of North
Florida larg- ly consists, covers the under
lying roc a so deeply that sui face exposures
are very infrequen..”
Continuing, the doctor says: “Here in
Tallahassee one of the most important
eou.cesof information was found to be a
deep well, wlic.l was dug some years ago
ty Gov. Bioxbamon his old plautation near
he. e. Toe well was oot only carried down
to ted reck, tut extends some twenty feet
into it. Specimens of the rock in abun
dance were still adjacent to the well. * *
The rock was found to be richly fossilifer
ens, in all probatilitv, originally lime-tone,
but One which, through tiie agie ms a tion
bad teen more or ie-js siltcifiod ad changed
into chert. Prof. Johnson rec senized many
of tbe-e fossils as characteristic of tne neo
cene period.’’
One feat re of the arti le, which will be
, of great interest to the nianv who are just
|*kjw excited over the Florida phosphate
finds, is an interview which Hr. Robinson
had with Prof. Johnson, in which the latter
said, speaking of the Tallahassee neocene
forn ateui nnd sim.lar deposits in west and
middle Florida:
“This rock here and generally to the south
! i* oflen silieified.yet without oblitera mg all
of its fossils. These show it to l e of neocene
, age. Immediately above this formation be
longs .he ph ispbatic formations peculiar o
Florida. There may be seen iu me cuts of
this vicinity modules of soft sandy rock not
formed in toto, but have been brought down
! and dropped with the sands and clays, mak
; leg up these great superficial deposits. These
nodules, I think, are fragments of a modifi
cation . f the great phosphate mother rock
so abundant on the peninsula. It should be
searched for northward. This form ition is
‘Totally varied in appearance, but generally
of easy recognition. Beginning at Suwan
nee river, in the vicinity of F.ixfora, I have
traced it southward to Lakeland. It oc
cupies the highest ridges, as at Welborn, at
Newnanville, at GainesviJe, and Ocala.
“To lhe people this material is often
Snowu as the ’chimney rock,’ being of use
for purposes of budding aid for under
pinning houses. The richest phosphate
beds havo b on formed by a disintegration
end redisposition of the materials of this
-•oft calcareous sandstone.
“Westward of the Apalachicola I saw
nothing of the phospbatic mother rock, and
lhe ne cene deposits, which are numerous
and large, and probably mutinous, at least
to Yellow river, are never siheified. These
are mainly greensand marls with shells.
The most western I discovered on .Shoal
river not far below tne Alabama line. All
Walton county is probably uuderlaid with
it. An accessible exposure is at Flournoy’s
Hill creek. Summerville. The great bed is
at Alum Bluff, Apalachicola, continued to
Bailey’s ferry on the Cbipola. Tne last is a
discovery of Prof. Frank Burns of the
purvey, who is now making large collec
tions. with headquarters at Bristol.
“None of these western beds can be re
gard .and as pbosphatie, yet they contain
bones and nodules which are highly so. An
overlyi g clay and lignitic saud, is rich in
these materials, wtiioh was ied out in the
general denudation of these rivers, and
redeposited, imitate cl isely the composition
and genesis of the Charleston phospbatos.
On the other hand our eastern arid southern
deposits are of a character, so far as known,
peculiar to Florida.
“The eocene rocks of the Vicksburg
formations of Alabama descend into Florida
down Cbipola river as far as Bailey’s ferry,
but eastward of the Apalachicola river have
not been recognized, except as island* down
the great central region of sinks and lakes.”
ATTACKED BY A ROBBER.
Frightful Experience of a Woman In
Wayne County.
Brunswick, Ga., Jan, 17.—The people in
the neighborhood of Kiser’s cross-roads,
about 10 miles from Waynesville, were
Startled yesterday morning by the report of
a brutal and oowardly attempt to rob and
probably murder an estimable lady. The
scene was the residence of Thomas Sutphin,
a prosperous farmer.
Last Thursday morning Sutphin left bis
borne to visit a son who resides near Thom
asville. About 9 o’clock that night, while
Mrs. Sutphin was sitting in her room en
gaged in sewiug, she heard a peculiar noise.
Turning her eyes in the direction
from which the noise came, Mrs.
Sutphin was startled to see a white man
in the act of crawling through an open
window. The man jumped into the room,
seized the wo an by the arm, and hissed
into her ear, “Give me your money, or I’ll
cut your heart out.” "1 have no money,"
paid Mrs. Sutphin. "You are a liar.” re
torted the man; “and if you don’t give me
some money within five minutes you’ll pea
dead woman."
Nerved by the scoundrel’s speech Mrs.
Butphin, with a herculean effort, freed her
self from the villain’s grasp and with a
piercing scream fell to the floor in an un
conscious condition.
The uproar attracted the attention of
ISrnest Gerold, a neighboring farmer.
Gerold bu ried to the scene as fast as his
legs wo id carry him, but the assailaut had
ynade his escape. Several neighbors made
a thorough search of the immediate vicinity,
but no trace of the man could bj found. It
was lucky for the brute that Mr. Sutphin
■was not at home at the time, for if he had
been he would have been treated to a dose
of buckshot and a hemp necktie.

Augueta’s Festivities Marred by a
Fatal Accident.
Augusta, Ga, Jan. 17.—1 tis a singular
fact that during the tnree days of the car
nival, in which Broad street was crowded
with paopie, not a single casualty occurred.
Duriug the night par.idee, when mounted
men and ponderous flints with pluuging
horses made their way through the dense
l crowds which lined the street on every
hand, not a person was injured; but to-day,
| in broad open daylight, iu the open streo:,
with no crowd interfering, a fatal accident
occurred.
This afternoon James Buckley, an em-
I ploye of the city on the street force, was
knocked down a id his skull crushed in front
of the monument on Broad street Ho was
at wore all the morning, iu front
of the National bank, macadamizing
the north Ride of Broad street.
About 1 o’clock P of. Hamer, the
a. ronaut, commenced preparing to
inflate his balloon tor this afierno >n’s

boys ha 1 hold of the guy pulling up the
team, which Mr. Buckley wus raisi gon
hisshoul ler. Oie of tnem let his guy rope
slack, and threw the wetuht of the
beam on Mr. Buckley, crushing him
to the earth and pniioni .g h;s head to the
ground. Ti e timber was lifted off of him,
but his skull was crushed and he has since
died at the hospital, having bled to death
internally.
The balloon ascension nnd parachute leap
was subsequently and successfully made in

WITKOVSKIS SLAYER
Jan. 23 Set for the Trial of B. M.
Thraaher.
Starke, Fla., .Tan. 17. —News has just
reached hero from Gainesville that the mo
tion for a continuance of B. A. Thrasher’s
trial for the murder of Mayor Louis Witkov
ski of Starke, on Dec. 10 last, was overruled
by J.idge Finley and his t ial set for Thurs
dav next, Jan. 2d. Our people feel that this
is a just ruling.
The proiecution will lie conducted by
Judge Wigg and Col. S. Y. Finley of
Gainesville, and Col. J. L. Fiazee of Starke.
This is a trio of able lawyers, and, with the
co-operation of the law-abiding citizens of
Alachua county, we feel that justice will be
done.
Suffering from Drought.
Orange Park. Fla., Jan. 17. —The dry
weather still continues, and water is becom
ing scarce. Many of the wells and cisterns
are dry. Vegetation is suffering greatly.
O eof our largest strawberry growers said
a few days ago that the crop would be a
comparative failure in this locality. Some
of the bearing orange trees are beginning
to curl and drop t heir leaves, and yet the
weather has been like spring, and the young
orange trees show a growth of ten or more
inches, and if there should come a freeze
much damage would ensue. No such month
os this is remembered by the oldest inhabit
ants of the county.

BHE WANTED THE ARCHDUKE.
When He Renounced Princely Rank
for Her Bhe Forsook Him.
From the New York Herald.
Home American friends of Fraulein Jen
nie Stubel, at one time a dashing operotta
singer under the management of Messrs.
Conried & Herrmann at the old Thalia
theater, have lately received letta.-s from
her that seem to throw anew light on the
Austrian Archduke Johann’s resignation of
titles and royal prerogatives which startled
the world a few months ago.
“The prince retired to private life not on
account of democratic tendencies, but iu
order to marry me,” says Fraulein .Stubel,
and a Vienna special correspondent of a
German paper corroborates her statement*
His retirement was in the nature of a sur
prise to everybody, not excepting Jenuie.
“I was dutufouuded,” she save, “when
Johann, o.ie flue morning, on entering my
room, stated that all obstacles which pre
vented our maniage had beon removed.
‘Has the emperor given his consentT I
asked.
“ ‘No,’ ho said, ‘and 1 have not asked him
for it, either. lam no longer a member of
the imperial family.’ And then ho explained
all, atid added, ‘Will you become Frau
Johann Orth? 1
“I was terribly angry. 1 meant to marry
the archduke, not the man, and ho, in the
simplicity of his heart, unwittiugly had
spoiled my fondest hopes by throwing hii
title to the dogs
“‘Can’t you at least retain the title of
count or baron ?’ I cried. ‘Even a plain
eve yday von may prove acceptable; but
plebian John Orth—j unais, never!’ ”
The correspondence further states that
Jennie broke off her relations with the ex-
Archduke entirely, and that both parties
may well be congratulated on this, as it
now turns out that the failure of the Vienna
banker, Aided Kendler, left Johnann a
comparatively poor man.
Jennie Stubel is well known to German
thea or goers of New York as a voluptuous
beauty, and a piquant singer, who made
her American debut in the fall of 1880.
Sho had been the star of the Friedrich
Wilhelm theater in Berlin before Co,iriod
captured her for his Bowery temple, and
her record as a heart-breaker had preceded
her. The great Berlin publisher Hoffman

lu New York Jennie became soon notori
ous for the extravagance of her costumes
and the liberal display of her charms on
the stage. She created the roles of "Be
- in ‘‘La Maseotte” in German, and of
“Violet a” in “The Merry War.”
In Milloecker’s "Apajune,” “I,a Vie
Parisienne” and other Offenbach operettas
she was likewise a pronounced success.
But German society did not take kindly
to her. Indeed, Fraulien Stubel left New
York in a hurry when she was hustled
from the floor of the Anon masquerade
ball became the manager thought tier cos
tume too suggestive for the occasion. She
masqueraded as a French cook of the male
kind.
Jennie Stubel has since then figured in
light opera in the German capital. She is
said to be still beautiful, although nearly
40 years of ago, She is a sister of Lori
Stubel, who drove the Austrian peer,
Prince Starhemberg, a decendant of the
Liberator of Vienna, to bankruptcy, and
created au immense scandal. Later on she
appeared at the Thalia theater under Mr.
Amberg’s management, but proved a very
bad substitute fjrher vivacious sistor.

Washington; Jan. 10. —The matrimonial
market of the .capitals now in full blast.
There are more millions off.-red by the
match-makers than the surplus in the
treasury, and fortunes by the score are
trotting around in petticoats. The fortune
hunters are after them, too, and the
black eyes of the Pan-American delegates
fairly s :ap as they are told that the si> t
young girls whom they swing arouud in the
lancers could buy up a few South Americin
repu lies with cold cash. The eyes of the
impecunious army and navy gallant- bulge
on. with eagerness as they estimate the
luxuries which thesi million-dollar girls
might bri g them, and the great but poor
congressmen who have been so fortunate as
not to get married at home spend more time
in sebemi g on their matrimonial possibili
ties than upon their legislative reputations.
And well they may; for t.e game is
worth the candle. There are ricn girls
everywhere. Tne cabinet circle has one or
two. The gold-hags of the Senate furnish
three or four, and tne millionaires of a haif
dozen different cities have sent their heir
esses here to market. Society dances the
razzle-dazzle about them, and while th.ir
suitors bark the r knees in doing them
homage Miss Grundy, Jr., will tell you who
they are.
MISS MINNIE WANAMAKER’S ALLOWANCE.
Who can c impute her fortune?
“Two million dollars,” one says; “double
that,” s.ya another: “a full $(>,(X)0,000 by
the time she will inherit it,” says a third.
There are four children in tho Wauatnaker
family, two sons and two daughters, and
they can swim in tnonev in any direction,
for the sons, too, married wealthy girls.
Miss Wanamaker is so pretty that she
would be a “catch” if she had not a cent;
but the possession of so much gold makes
her the most interesting girl of the season,
for she is newer than Miss Letter and
almost as lovely. She knows a thing or two
about money, and is sincere enough to
rec )gnize sincerity in others. The fortune
hunter who follows her will be unwi<e. For
over a year she has lieen learning how to
take care of money. Her father gives her
au allowance, and she buys ail that she
wears.
No one questions Miss Wanamaker about
her spendings, and even if she overdraws
considerably on her bank account it only
bringß a laughing criticism fr >m her father.
But what girl does not overdra w ? They
tell me that they get au allowance of from
83,000 to 110,000 per year, and the only girl
in Washington who has not overdrawn hers
is Miss Florence Windom. Of course she
does not get that much, as the Secretary of
the Treasury is not a very wealthy man,
but whatever Miss Florence gets, sho came
home after a shopping tour in New York a
short tint • ago with 211 cents in her purse.
810,000 A YEAR FOR PIN MONEY.
1 chatted with one of the richest girls of
Washington last night as to how she spent
her SIO,OOO allowauce.
“I suppose it includes all of your travel
ing expenses?” said I.
“O, dear, no. Papa always pays such
things.”
“’1 hen you pay for your living expenses,
I suppose?”
“What an idea!” said the millionaire’s
daughter.
“Well do you buy your own jewels?”
“Certainly not. My jowels are all pres
ents from my father or others.”
“O, it goes to your dressmaker for your
imp rted dresses?”
“No, but I’li tel! you a secret. Mamma
always has such things put ou her bills.”
“Well,” said I, “for what do you spend
it? Foryour face-powder and hairpins, and
a few cents for candy?”
“Ye-e-s.”
Think of SIO,OOO for hairpin* and candy!
I don’t wonder that the girl has to use
face-powder, do you?
rich cabinet daughters.
Miss Wanamaker is the only very rich
girl in the cabinet, although tho two Blaine
girls are not poor by auy meas. There is
now no chance for the eldor Margaret, for
she is soon to be married to Mr. Llamrosch,
but the pretty debutante Hattie will bring
bor future husband, they say, $400,000.
Miss Florence Miller, daughter of the
Attorney-General, will have from $75,000
to SIOO,OOO, and both the Windom daugh
ters as muco.
The five daughters of tho Morton house
will have pretty fortunes when they come
of age —$11,000,000 or $5,000,000 apiece—and
they are being educated by their sensible
mother as though they were one day to
take care of themselves instead of fortunes.

the man who sits in Senator McMillan’s
dive colored parlor can call himself blessod,
for four maids who will count their millions
will talk to him.
First of ali comes Miss Amy, the onlv
daughter of the house. Sligut, fair aud
modest, yet she can vie with Miss Leiter as
the heiress of Washington. Three million
dollars, if a cent, is wnat she will one day
inherit, and pro. ably half again ns much,
as Detroiters vouch for it that, Senator Mc-
Millan's fortune is steadily increasing.
Lumber, car wheels and iron mines are tuo
backbone of this lump of money which
Miss Amy McMillan will one day share
with her three brothers and the little child
of her only sister who died last vear. In
spite of her wealth, .Miss McMillan’is modest
aud unassuming, and enjoyed her first ball
tue other night as much as the poorest and
prettiest giri present. She is pretty, too,
and fortune-buffers claim that they pay
her the homage of forgetting her fortune
when they dance with her.
She is sensible withal, and knows a thing
or two about money. Though only lit, for
two years her father has given her control
of some corpulent bank stoc.t, the interest
ot which makes up her yearly allowance.
She has everything sue wants. Think of
it. but it is literally true, that her father
insists that she shall know the compara
tive value of a tuimble and a diamo.d
ring. Although she has boxes of jewels,
she will wear none of them, and at her first
ball she had not even a diamond “sticker”
pin tucked away in her corsage.
her $50,000 a year.
The second of Michigan’s heiresses who
are givi g Washington fortune-hunters a
chance is Miss Alice McMillan, daughter of
tho second of the wealthy McMillan
brothers. She is of an age with her cousin
and nas quite as neat a fortune. The two
of them represent $6,000,000 when they ride
out Tenalytown way together, as they fre
quently do.
Tee other two heiresses who will bo
guests of Miss McMillan are Miss Thomp
son and Miss Newberry of Detroit. The
first is the daughter of ex-May or Thomps m
and has loads of money as well as consider
able oeauly. The second owns a slice of
the heart of the City of the Straits and it
nets her a rental of $50,000 annually. She
is the only oie of the quartet who will
pocket her million whe i sue comes of age,
which is less than a year.
Miss Fay Alger, daughter of Gen. Rus
sell Alger, will have ba;sof gold seme day.
She will be at the capital most of the sea
son, chaperoned by Mrs. Gen. Logan and
Mrs. J. S. Clarkson. In the marriageable
market she is quoted at, $2,000,00;), with a
good possibility of doubling those figures
to i years fro n now. She was here a fort
night last whiter, and many an army and
navy gallant arrayed himself under her
banuer. The navies and < oys iu blue are
the greatest f rtune hunters next to the
foreigners at the c pital, and many a one
wooed so precipitately last year that Miss
Alger still laughs at them.' For she has a
keen sotjse of humor, and Portia-like, re-

THE PULLMAN GIRLS.
Miss Harriet a id Miss Fi rencs Pullman

heiresses, as they, too, will soeiil January
here under the chaperonage of Mr*. Logan.
Tuey will each have $2,000,000 some day,
and even now they have bamc stock in thti
own name amounting to $200,000 ea h.
They each receive a vea ly allowance, and
live with u it.
Miss Pauncefote, the eldest daughter of
the British minister, will have a fortune, as
she iuheriis both from her mother and
father, who are well-to-do.
don Cameron's rich daughters.
Next to Miss McMillan, Miss Mary and
Miss Rachel Cameron a e the heire-ises of
the senatorial circle. People will not see
much of Miss Mary, as she keeps house for
her brother iu Harrisburg, but the younger
one has already set the world by the ears,
sno is so pretty and cultured.
These girls inben Iro u three sources.
Their mother, who was a Miss McCormick,
daughter of one of the wealthiest citizens
of Harrisburg, left each of them $2J9.00J.
At their grandfa'he 's (Simon Cameron)
d.ath, they euch received double that, and
of course tboy will share with Senator Ii >n
Cameron’s four other cnild en in his la go
estate. They are tine business women. W. th

they built handsome houses in Was iington,
and take caro of the rentals with th > ability
ot' tried business mem Toey are both ch lr
ltable, but have tie Cameron Scotch
shrewdness, and will never do anything
sensational or rash with their fortune*.
Miss Quay, daughter of the Pennsylvania
sona or, is not as rich as the Misses Cam
eron, but she will one day have a tidy sum
of $250,1)00.
MISS LEITER’S three millions.
In the very center of the rosebud garden
of heiresses is Mary- Loiter, eldest daughter
of Mr. L. Z. Leiter, formerly of Chicago.
Mr. Leiter is many times a millionaire, out
as he has five children their inheritance
will be about $3,000,000 each.
Miss Leiter cannot be had for the asking,
as many attaches of the legations here have
found out. She has been courted in New
York and Nowoort, as well as in Washing
ton, and at. this minute sho is the most en
vied girl at the capital. In addition to the
finest frocks, the fair t face and loads of
money, sho has at last landed tier family
in spite of seemingly boneless difficulties, ii
the very heart of the United States’ 400.
That is the reason the people at the capital
are jealous of her.
Her fortune is as taut as anew ship. It
is in great part invested in Chicago and
Washington real estate. Of course see will
not receive it all until her father’s death,
but she already controls enough bank stock
to give her a yearly allowance of $10,0)d for
her clothes. Just double the salary of a
hard-working member is what this young
girl has for her pin-money.
ex-senators’ daughters and the ir mill
ions.
The millions made by ex-Senator Henry
G. Davis and Stephen B. Elkins in Now
Mexico mines and West Virginia railroads
are on the market iu three Imndsome girls—
Miss Grace Davis and Miss Sallie and Liz
zie Elkins. Miss Davis made her debut
under her sister’s (Mrs. Lieut. Brow;”,)
chaperonage, Jan. 9, and tne daughters of
S. B. Klki is will apoear later at the capital
a* guests of Mr*. Benjamin Harrison aud
and Mrs. J. S, Cl irks >n. Senator Davis is
quoted at $10,000,000, and when three
daughters, Mrs. Elkins, Mrs. Brown a id
Miss Davis, came of age be gave each of
them enough bank stock to give an annual
interest of #5,000 to make them feel inde
pendent. It was nominally to support
tnem, too, 1 ut Miss D ivis confesses that she
lias never touched her interest, but had all
her bills sent to her father, as she did not
want to be hampei ed by au allowance.
When asked how she felt at having inter
est piling up, she said it made her feel as
though she could have anyihiug she saw,
and consequently she denied herself much
she would have if dependent on her fat. er.
Miss Elizabeth Campbell, daughter of Ohio’s
new governor, will inherit $500,000 some
day, as her mother is a very rich woman.
She will spend part of the season here.
RICH WASHINGTON IANS.
Of the rich girls of Washington the rich
est by all ' dds will be Miss Ida Thompson,
the daughter of the rich Washington
banker, John W. Thompson, who takes tiie
place of W. W. Corcoran as the wealthiest
man in Washington. There are but two
children in the family—Miss Ida and her
brother R ss—and the groat fortune of
their father is well invested in bank stocks
and real esta.e, and Mr. Thompson is add
ing to his pile every year. Misi Thompson
is bright, well educated, and widely trav
eled. Sue accompanies her father every
where, ani has just returned from an
extended tour through Norway, Russia,
South Europe and Turkey. Sho presides
over one of the finest houses at the capital,
and ranks high as a hostess.
Miss Lowrie, daughter of Judge Lowrie,
and Miss Anna Wilson are other rich Wash
ingtonians. They have both tieeu out some
time and have turned down more fortune
hunters than any four other girls. Miss
Lo ivino's fortune touches on $4,000,000 and
is firmly i vested in F street business blocks
and United States bonds.
Judge Jeremiah Wilson came hereseveral
years ago from Indiana aud has been piling

daughter Anna. She is a friend of Mrs.
Harrison and Mrs. McKee, aud wili be seen
much at the white house.
Another Washington girl who inherits
$2,000,000 or $3,000,000 is Miss Mary Sheila
barge , daughter of Judge Shellabarger,
formerly of O.iio. She is only 19, and has
appeared little in society, owing to the
death of her brother and sister about the
time she was to have made her debut last
year.
A CATCH WORTH $5,000,000.
But tho heiress who will one day dazzle
the eyes of Washington comes out next year.
She is Miss Ellen Warder, aud, if vou
please, will hold $5,000,000 in the hand
which she gives in marriage. Her father
came from Springfield, 0., built, at an ex
pense of $200,000, one of the finest houses
on K street, a >d has made every prepara
tion 1 1 bring out his daughter in royal style.
She is now in a New York ehool. ’
One of the inheritors of the big Corcoran
estate will spend most of the winter nere.
S ie is Miss Luiie Eustis, and has $1,500,-

Miss Pauline Bancroft, granddaugh er of
the historian, will only inuerit SLoO,OOJ, but
her beauty and name make her compare
with any heiress in the laud.
Miss Mattie Mitchell is the prettiest of tho
good catears of Wasnington. Her father
gets SIO,OOO fees for his law cases,
and i has made several fortunes. Mbs
Mattie has been a beauty in London and
Paris, as well as America, and the man who

can run across any nuinbar of womeu past
40 who hare hearts and fortunes still
unwon.
There are the two Miss Colemans, for in
stance.
O ie of the legends of Washington is told
of them. It seems that Mr. Corcoran, after
buyiug up land from tunuy rich people for
a site for tne Arlingto i hotel, wrote a polite
note to the spinster sisters, asking bow much
they would take for their rose garden, as he
wanted to build on it an annex to his new
hotel.
A note came back, signed by both sisters
saving:
“We want to enlarge our rose garden.
\V ill you sell the Arlington to us I” The t wo
are past sixty, but they have $2,000,000
each.
THE RIGGS DAUGHTERS.
Two other sisters. Miss Alice and Miss
Janette Riggs, inherited one of the finest
estates in the city, that of George W. Ri^gs,

Giorce Lewis Cofk. who derarted this life
°n the !oth inn.. at the age of 73 years, was. for
over twenty years, a director of thi* Lank-, and
for five years its honore i President. When,
owin ;to increasing age, he was no longer will
in'to undertake the exacting duties of Presi
dent, he readily yielded to the earnest wish of
his associates that h* should remain on the di
rectory and he continue i an active member of
the boa and until the day of his death. The busi
ness sagacity aud wise foresight which made
his private business so eminently successful,
were given during the loQg period of nis service,
to tue aff .irs of this hank.
During a business life extending through
more than half a century. Mr. Cope was always
a promoter of, and. notwithstanding his retir
ing disposition, often a leader in measures
holding to promote the material interests of
Savannah.
Who war and jiestilenoe visited the city he
lovMd with th- devotion of a sun. fce was found
at the post of duty, and of danger, giving sub
stantia! ad to the needy, co: n fort mg the be
reaved and the sorrowing, and imparting cour
age and constancy to his comrades by his owu
dan it less spirit.
He was called to serve in various offices of
trust, an 1 in uli acquitted himself as a man of
soun t judgna nt aud of spotless int grity.
In common with ail his tellow citizens, we
lament the loss of the successful merchant and
honored public servant, but with a sense of per
sonal bereavement, his associates on this board
mourn a trusted counsellor and a true and sym
pathetic friend.
To his bereaved family we extend the assur
