rpupntntivp One of the Mem
bers of Patriotic and Historical
Societies and City and County
Officials.
Savannah is one of (he few cities, If not
the only one. in the United States, which
has a monument erected to an Indian be
cause of his friendship for the whites. The
memorial in Wright square to Tomochlchl,
the Indian chieftain, who was the com
panion of Ogh thorpe, and the friend of the |
infant colony of G<*o r gia. was formally
dedicated yesterday afternoon in the
presence of a large assemblage.
The assemblage was fitfy representative
of Savannah, and of its ancient and hon
orable history. In front of the speaker sat
the ladies of the Georgia Society of Colo
nial Dames, to whose efforts is due the
erection of this tribute. With them wore
the ladies of the Daugh
ters of the Revolution. On
the speaker's right were the members of
the Society of Colonial Wars, of the Sons
of the Revolution, of the Georgia Histori
cal Society, the judges of the courts, the
Mayor and aldermen and the County Coni-
TOM-O-CIII-CHI, MICO OF THE YAMACR AWB.
Oglethorpe'* Friend and Defender of the Infant Colony of Georgia,
missioners, to all of whom Invitations had
been extended.
Seats had been reserved for the
members of the Colonial Dames
and their invited guests In an enclosure
roped off from the square. Outside of the
lnclosure a large crowd of Interested spec
tators was gathered. In the crowd were
both citizens and strangers. Among them
a number of soldiers. A detachment of
the provost guard of the Second Infantry
patrolled the outside of the Inclosure,
while a squad of police, In charge of Senior
Sergeant Owen Reilly, saw that order was
preserved .n the crowd.
I{ was but just that Mr. Walter O.
Charlton should have been the orator of
the occasion, for to him It Is due that the
present generation of Savannahlans has
been reminded of the services of the In
dian Mieo, Tomochichl,- to the Infant col
ony of Georgia and that as a result the
Colonial Dames of Georgia conceived it
to be one of their first duties to establish
a lasting reminder for the Instruction of
future generations.
Mr. Charlton’s address was all that was
expected of him, which Is sufficient praise.
It was able, eloquent and inspiring. His
reference to Tomochichl as the first great
Georgian was peculiarly apt and appro
priate.
There were no preliminary exercises. At
5 o’clock My. Charlton came over from the
court house and took Ifis seat In the stand
which had been erected for the occasion.
A few minutes later, when all of the in
vited guests had reached their seats, Mr
Charlton delivered his oration. He spoke
as follows:
>lr. Chari ton'd Address.
"W* as, my fellow Georgians, congratu
late ourselves that after a century and a
half of forgetfulness we have at length
been stirred to a realization of a duty un
fulfilled, and are. therefore, here to-day to
dedicate to the memory of a great Geor
gian a memorial such as Og.vthorpe di
rected and Tomoohk hi deserved. You will
retail that the great soldier who controlled
the destinies of th.s colony commanded
that a pyramid of Georgia stone should
mark the resting place of him who had
been the loyal and devoted friend and ally
of the people of Georgia, and the comrade
of their leader. There has been placed
here, on the spot where tradition tofts us
he lies, through the disinterested effort a
of this society of noble and remembering
Georgia women, this piece of Georgia
granite, that all the coming time may
know that here in the heart of our town
ret-ts in honored memory a man who was
a Georgian aud a Georgian who was a

chief of the Oconas said of him in the
presence of the representatives of the
Creek Indians, that he was a good man
and had been a greatjftraurior, and that it
was for his w.sdom and courage that the
banished men had chosen him for their
king. When he and Oglethorpe first met at
Yamacraw Bluff in January, 1733, ho was,
according to Jones: "A man of command
ing presence, grave demeanor, marked
character, established influence, of a phil
osophical turn of Vnind, and in the posses
sion of all his faculties.” He was at this
time in his ninety-first year. lie had gath

“It is a singular thing in the history of
Georgia that at this moment, when her
future was trembling in the balance; when
by every unhappy precedent the little band
of Englishmen who were about to land
upon her soil must take up the task of
civilization in toil and suffering and
blood, with ftoe relentless nature of the
suvage upon tne one hand and the merci
bas Spaniard upon the other—that at this
eventful moment there should have met
liero in the wildeVness one of the great
est and boldest spirits of Europe and one
of the wisest and bravest Indians of whom
we have any account. It is entirely cer
tain that the confidence with which Ogle
thorpe Inspired Tomochichl and the prompt
measures adopted by the latter to further
the scheme of colonization, made possible
the settlement of Savannah by insuring
for years a tranquility in which the foun
dations of the state were laid In peace.
The New’ Englander had fought his way
with bitterness and the Virginian had
constantly slex>t upon his arms, but in
Georgia the friendship and admiration I
which these (wo great men extended each
other made practical the founding of the
town and the establishment of the colony.
It was with affectionate pride that Tomo
chichl, on his death-bed, recalled his part
in the founding of the colony, and, seeing
with that wise and prophetic sight which
is the gift of noble minds, that in time
hia people must pass away and be no
more seen of men. linked the Indian for
ever with the civilization which was des
tined to spring from the midst of the bend
ing pines and sandy soil of Savannah.
“Save that hwman suffering and misfor
tune have always the element of the
tragic, there was little of the heroic about
the early days of Georgia. That the op
pressed and stricken people who landed
here on the 13th day of February, 1733,
to be the military bulwark of the province
of South Carolina, did not repeat the ex
perience of the other colonies of America
and write their history in blood, was due
to the nobility aud generosity of this old
Indian warrior, who lie® here, receiving
now, an he earned then, the gratitude of
the people of Georgia. In the old re
cords wo catch an occasional glimpse of
him as a warrior. Busily as was Ogle

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, APRIL 28, 1899.

That Ha* Ever Been in Savannah.

Virginians* Farewell to the Forty-
Ninth lowan*.
The Fourth Virginia Regiment was mus
tered out yesterday. The pleasant relations
that existed between many of the members
of that command and citizens of Savannah
before it left for Cuba, and renewed upon
Its return after three months service in the
Antilles have been discontinued, to the re
gret of every one. Of all the regiments
that have been stationed at Savannah
there have been none that has had more
friends than the Virginians. Many of the
members of the regiment, enlisted men as
well as officers, represented the best fami
lies of Virginia, and were received into Sa
vannah homes and attended social func
tions. Some brought letters of introduction
that secured them recognition in the best
circles, and not a few will be sorry the
mem from Virginia are to be among them
no longer.
Lieut. Harris of the Third Artillery was
the mustering otlicer who has been in
charge for a month of the preparations
that were made for the disbandment of
the regiment. The officers of the command
rendered him valuable assistance, and the
arrangements were so well made that the
muster out proceeded without defay or
trouble ol any kind.
MaJ. Arnold and ilaj. Huston were the
paymasters assigned to the payment Of
the Virginians. Usually there are three
paymasters disbursing when a regiment Is
discharged, and the muster out of the
Virginians did not, therefore, progress as
rapidly as would have been the case with
a paymaster for each battalion.
About $75 W'as the average sum received
by the enlisted men of the regiment on
being discharged. Thai whs for their pay,
the balance on their clothing accounts and
trovef pay to their homes. To reach home
the average cost was about $7.25 a man,
but the members of Companies A, B and
E fared better than their comrades of
other companies, for the citizens of Nor
folk, their native city, subscribed a large
sum to defray the cost of the transporta
tion of the three companies from Savan
nah to that place.
The soldiers left during the afternoon
over the Central Railroad and the Florida
Central and Peninsular. Two or threa
companies were taken by the latter road,
the bulk of the business falling to the Cen
tral on account of its connection with the
SeatKtard Air Line at Augusta, along
which route through Virginia the homes
of most of the soldiers lay. The Central
ran three special trains, leaving at 1:30, 2
and 6 o’clock. A number of the Virginians
waited over to leave by regular trains.
For the next few days there will prob
ably be several members of the regiment,
besides the Savannah recruits, who joinei}
•It here, remaining In the city, as each reg
iment mustered out has left a few strag
glers who have waited over a while after
being discharged for one reason or an
other. The health of the men of the
regiment has been very good since the re
turn from Cuba, and only two or three
are left in the hospital. One of those is
Sergt. Young of Ccynpany M. That gal
lant young soldier is not sick, 'but is laid
up on account of injuries honorably sus
tained. His knees are badly torn and lac
erated, and a medal for bravery could
be worn as honorably by him as a sol
dier who wins one on the field of battle.
Several days ago Sergt. Young wag In
jured. He was riding a bicycle on Dale
avenue, when he saw a horse runfling
away. An old colored woman and chlkl
were the occupants of the wagon
the animal was pulling, But the
’former was soon pitched out.
and that left the child alone. Seeing
the peril of her situation, the soldier rode
as rapidly as he could until he could seize
the rein. Kicking his wheel away, he
clung to the horse and was dragged some
distance. He brought the animal to a stop
and the child suffered no more than her
fr ght, but the young soldier Is painfully
injured.
Col. George W. Taylor addressed the reg
iment a short while before the paymas
ters began their work. He had the com
mand drawn up near his tent, and his ad
dress Indicated the confidence he reposed
in his Virginians, and the honor he had
esteemed It to command them. The col
onel said he would like to be with the
Fourth again if ever another call for vol
unteers should be made.
At about 9 o’clock the paymasters began
their work. Shortly after noon they were
through, and the soldiers were soldiers no
longer, it became the object of every one
of them to Ret ,nto the city tot speedily a
IKissible, and that of not a few to ex
change the soldier clothes for those of a
civilian just as soon as it could bo done.

A NEW SEASIDE RESORT.
Turtle Island for Picnic* and Ex
cursion*.
Savannah needs a nearby place for sum
mer excursions and ptcnics by steamer,
and a suggestion has been made to utilize
Turtle Island for that purpose, by build
ing a wharf and pavilion and putting down
an artesian well.
The island Is on the north side of the
Savannah river, opposite Fort Pulaski,
about twelve miles, or an hour’s run, by
steamer, from the city It has a fine
grove of trees and a hard beach about a
mile and half in length, facing southeast,
toward Tybee. Turtle Island is easily ac
cessible, and boats can land and leave
It in any weather. There is a fine view
of the roadstead ar.d the ocean beyond,
Tybee Island and Fort Pulaski, from the
island. The place could be made an ideal
spot for summer excursions and picnics.
The adjacent waters are noted as fine fish
ing grounds, and there is excellent fishing
along the beach.
Under the management of proper parties
and with a good steamer, there would
doubtless be money made by whoever en
gages in the venture, for since the build
ing of the railroad to Tybee there Is no
objective point in the harbor for excur
sions b* steamers, and there Is not a
more popular and pleasant way of enjoy
ment than a boat trip to salt water.
LIMBER LOADING FOR ( IBA.
Local Longshoremen Went on the
Florida to l n lon cl ft Cargo.
The barge Souther, belonging to Smith
and Kelly, is being loaded with lumber at
the Plant System wharves. The barge is
to go to Cuba for the government In tow
Of a tug. She will get awayjust as soon
as her loading can be completed. The lum
ber is needed at Havana and Matanzas
for the construction of barracks for cav
alry.
A few days ago the Florida left with a
cargo of lumber for Havana. With the
slitp thirty-six longshoremen and a steve
dore, Albert Luntig. went to unload her at
Havana. A lighter will lie alongside the
Florida and receive the lumber. The long
shoremen went from here in order that the
unloading of the vessel might be effected
without the necessity of Cuban longshore
men having to go aboard the Florida.
From Havana the Florida Is expected to
go with*as little delay as possible to Ponce,
where she is to heip carry the Eleventh
Infantry and a part of the Fourth Artil
lery to some northern port. It was neces
sary, as a precaution for haste, to carry
longshoremen from Savannah, as Ponce is
quarantined against Cuban ports, and if
any of the Cuban laborers should go
aboard the Florida it would not be possi
ble for the vessel to enter Ponce harbor
without undergoing fumigation and be
ing delayed thereby.
The Kilpatrick also left a few days ago
with a large cargo of lumber for points in
Cuba, wpere It is needed. That vessel also
Will proved to Ponce, and will assist the
Florida in the transportation of the troop
to this country.
MAY BE A GENERAL MOVE.
Committee Disposed to Remove Lamp
Posts and Caused Poles.
Not only will all posts be removed from
the boulevard of Bull street, but the
chances are the street and lane commit
tee will direct a sweep on a number of side
streets. It Is evidently the intention to
beautify the city by removing all unnec
essary obstructions. At the expiration of
a year the city expects to have all wires
In the business section put underground,
except the street railway wires, and in
keeping with this it desires first to get its
own obstructions out of the way.
Chairman Dixon of the street and lane
committee Is a strong believer In side
walks, but he does not favor compelling
taxpayers to build them In the face of dis
advantages due to the negligence of oth£r
property owners in clearing away ob
structions. While the removal of unused
lamp posts and poles will be steadily kept
up by the committee, it Is realized it can
only be done by degrees.
The lamp posts the committee is making
war against have been out of use since the
advent of electric fights. The gas pipes
still extend through them, protruding at
the top, where they have been stopped.
Unless street signs were attached to these
posts, it is not apparent for what purpose
they could be used. There are a number
of poles in the lanes which will have to be
removed at an early day to make room for
the distributing poles the new telephone
company will erect In the lanes.
THINK IT A LITTLE UNFAIR.
Governor’s Staff From Savannah Not
Likely to Go to Chlcksmnnga.
The members of Gov. Candler’s staff In
Savannah, Cols. G. B. Whatley, M. W.
Dixon, R. M. Hull and John Schwarz,
have received invitations from the Gov
ernor to attend the dedication of the state
of Georgia monument on the Chickamau
ga battlefield. May 4. The Invitation
states that each member of the staff shall
bear his own expenses to Atlanta and re
turn, including his hotel bills, horse hire,
etc. In view of this, and the fact that the
attendance will involve a considerable loss
of time in business to those who attend,
It Is hardly probable that many will at
tend from this section of the state.
The members of Gov. Candler’s staff
from this section, it Is said, are com
plaining that It is a little unfair that they
should be subjected to this discrimination
In favor of Atlanta and that section, a
special train free of cost having been pro
vided them from Atlanta to Chattanooga
and return.

FRANK WRIGHTS LAST DAY.
Ml RDF.RER OF AMOS MOY TO EXPI
ATE HIS CHIME OX THE GALLOWS.
Execution Will Take Place Between
llie Honrs ol lO and 4 O’clock.
Preparations for the Hrdrliir,
Which Will Be Private, Have All
Been Made—Wright Claims to Have
Made His Peace and Has So Appar
ent Fear of Heath—He Has Been
Baptised and Received the Sacra
ment—The Story of W right's Crime.
Frank Wright, convicted at the last term
of the Superior Court of the murder of his
stepson, Amos Moy, will be hanged in the
county Mil between 10 and 4 o’clock to
day. The preparations for the hanging
have all been made, the gallows cefl has
been put In readiness for the execution and
nothing now remains, but the march of the
condemned man to the door of his place of
death and the drop of the trap.
During his last remaining days on earth
Wright has been attended by Rev. Trince
Biack, the negro preacher who is the cus
tomary attendant of condemned mirdeiers,
and who has administered the consolations
an® the last sacraments of religion to
many. He has professed his belief in the
doctrines of Christianity and his trust in
the redeeming power of the Savior's blood.
In accordance with these professions he
has been baptised, and since that time has
awaited the end with the stoicism of an
Indian and the complete resignation of a
Christian martyr. He declares that he is
confident of salvation and that his death
in this world will be but the stepping stone
to eternal life beyond the grave. He Is ap
parently not at all disturbed at the pros
pect of the violent, sudden and disgraceful
death that awaits him at the hands of the
law.
The crime for which Wright Is called
upon to pay the death penalty Is the mur
der of his stepson, Amos Moy, that oc
curred in Gaston lane on the night of
Feb. 13. On that night Wright came
home in a drunken condition and an ugly
and dangerous humor. He found his wife
and his stepson and daughter In the house
and alarmed them by the display of a
small pistol, which he flourished In a
threatening manner, and finally fired in
the room. When this was taken away
from him, he secured another, of which
he was also deprived, and finally per
suaded to lie down.
After a while he came out of the room
in which he had been sleeping and asked
for the return of his weapons, saying that
he was going over into Smithvtlle to gam
ble and did not care to go entirely un
armed. Very foolishly, they were re
turned to him and he started out of the
door of the house. As he reached the
door he turned and said that he had the
crowd where he wanted them. Moy beg
ged him not to shoot, but hlg entreaties
and the prayers of Wright’s wife and step
daughter had no effect and the fatal shot
was fired, the ball penetrating Moy'a
breast and causing a wound, from which
he died some days later.
The murderer was Immediately arrested
and placed in jail. The coroner's jury de
c.ared that the crime he had committed
was murder, and at the March term of the
Superior Court he was indicted by the
grand jury. He waa placed on trial on
March 8, the principal witness against
him being his stepdaughter, Elsie Lofton,
who had been In the room at the time Moy
wus fatally wounded. Her story of the
circumstances and manner of the killing
convinced the jury of Wright’s guilt, and
the searching cross-examination to which
she was subjected by his attorneys,
Messrs. Charles D. Kline and L. M. Nor
wood, could not shake or affect the force
of her testimony. Only three minutes
were required for the jury to come to a
decision and return a verdict of guilty.
The death sentence was pronounced by
Judge Falligant on the day of the trial,
and no appeal from the sentence was
taken, Messrs. Kline and Norwood sgylng
that their client had been granted a fair
trial, and that they knew no grounds upon
which an application for another was like
ly to be sustained.
The equanimity with which Wright
views the prospect of his approaching
death is not new in the cases of con
demned negro murderers, most of whom
assured of the certainty of their salvation
and entertain no apparent fear of the
hereafter. When Wright made his state
ment at his trial he said that he was
drunk at the time he had shot Moy and
had no recollection of having done so. Such
a state of affairs, of course, did not af
fect or ameliorale the man's guilt in the
eyes of the law, but it has served to sus
tain and comfort him while death is "im
pending, and to render assured his belief
that he has been redeemed and saved.
WEEDS IX PULASKI SQUARE.
Park nn<l Tree Commission Trying
to Get the Mowers to Back Street*.
The weeds are taking some of the
squares, notwithstanding the "Park and
Tree Commission is using its endeavors to
reach them with the mowing gangs as
rapidly as possible. Pulaski square, just
south of Harris in Barnard street, Is pretty
well covered with weeds several inches
high, and which threaten to seriously im
pede the growth of grass unless they are
shortly removed.
It is always the commission's desire to
cut the weeds before they go to seed. By
this means much is done toward killing
out growth, as there are chances for a
minimum crop after the first mowing The
squurts in Bull street, of course, get the
first attention, and it is this that accounts
for the weedy condition of some of those

WERE BEAUTIFULLY WEDDED.
Mr. Conrtenny anil Ml** Savarese
Married at tlie Pnulsen Home.
A few short months ago the home of
Capt. and Mrs. Jacob Paulsen, No. 1 Hen
ry "street, east, was the scene of a beauti
ful wedding, and last night another and
equally as beautiful ceremony was per
formed. Mr. and Mrs. Otto Seiler were
joined in wedlock some time ago at the
Paulsen home, the bride being a daughter
of Capt. and Mrs. Paulsen, and last night
their adopted daughter, Miss Henrietta 6.
Savarese, and Mr. Faber Wilford Courte
nay were united in marriage, the pastor
of the Lutheran Church of the Ascension,
Rev. Dr. W. C. Schaeffer, officiating.
The handsome parlors were magnificently
decorated for the happy event, smilax,
ferns, potted flowers and graceful palms
standing in profusion and adorning the
walls. The bay windows were particular
ly beautiful, and in one of them the cere
mony was performed. The dining room
was also handsomely decked, and the wed
ding guests enjoyed rich viands in the
feast that was served during the reception
from 9 to 11 that followed the ceremony.
The pastor pronounced the words that
united the two at 8:30 o'clock.
The bride was elegantly gowned. The
waist was beautifully trimmed with lace
and chiffon, and the skirt was covered
with lace frills. Bride roses, tied with
white satin ribbon, made up her bouquet.
No attendants were had.
Mr. and Mrs. Courtenay did not leave
for a wedding journey. They will make
their home at once in the handsome new
house in Collinsville, completely furnished,
that formed the gift of Capt. Paulsen.
Many other elegant presents were received,
among them a beautiful dinner and tea
set. A silver plate adorns a handsome
case, bearing the inscription, "Savarese
and Courtenay, from Mrs. N. Paulsen.''
The case is of oak, trimmed in brass, and
in it is an entire set of silver, a dozen
each of all table implements. The Luth
eran Church of the Ascension also re
membered the young couple with a mag
. niflcent tea service.
The bride is a young lady well known
In Savannah, and her circle of friends is
a wide one. She has a charming disposi
tion. and friends were but a natural con
sequence of the winning manner she has
always shown. The groom is connected
with the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Asso
ciation. Congratulations will be ehowered
upon him by many friends.
A number of friends and rela
tives from a distance were in
the city to attend the ceremony.
Among them were Mr, Jacob Paulsen, of
