HARVEY HILL
If f |_J_S OF TRAGEDY
FRIEND WHO ACCOMPANIED
Walter Ormond on Trip, and Who
Saw Him Last, Has But
Little to Add to Story
Already Told.
Ilarvey llill and Dowdell
Brown, who were with Judge
Walter E. Ormond outlie Kansas
City when Judge Ormond was
drowned at sea last Tuesday
night, arrived in Atlanta yester¬
day afternoon on the vestibule
from New York.
Mr. Hill and Mr. Brown left
New York on the first train for
Atlanta. Mr. Hill gave an ac¬
count of the death of his friend
to a representative of The Con¬
stitution, but be had very little
to add to the news which had
already reached Atlanta by wire.
It was a sad home-coming for
the two young men. They had
but recently left the city expect¬
ing to spend a delightful vaca¬
tion. A sea trip was decided
upon, and they went to Savannah,
where they sailed for New York
last Monday afternoon at 3:80
o’clock. On Tuesday night
Judge Ormond disappeared from
the ship, and has not since
been seen. That he fell over
w r<i and ,« drowned, there
no doubt.
At the terminal station there
were to meet Mr. Hill and Mr.
Brown the father and mother of
Mr. Hill and several friends Mr.
the not .
Hill had left city m
best of health, and his parents
were apprehensive about him,
knowing how devotedly he had
,.,,-ed Ids bM.- J'fe. Ora.......
Both Mr. Hill and Mr. Brown
showed that they had been
through a terrible and trying
ordeal. Since lastTues. a ’ night
they bad eaten and slept but
little.
TELLS OF KKTEND’S DEATH.
In speaking of the death of
Judge Ormond, Mr. Hill said:
t v It was a terrible blow to us.
Walter was the life of our party.
From the time we left Atlanta
until Tuesday night when he was
drowned he was m the best of
humor, not letting a moment
pass without some sign of good
humor.
“The first night out, both
Walter and I were slightly sea
sick, and we slept on deck in
chairs, because it was very warm
in our berth. Tuesday night I
felt so badly that I remained in
the berth, while Walter again
slept in a chair on deck. I told
him he had better remain in the
berth witn me, but he replied it
was too hot, and he was
On Monday morning he had risen
at 6 o’clock, so on Tuesday
ing I was up quite early. I
called to him from the berth, and
when he did not answer I looked
o it. His chair was empty. 1

that he was missing,
I dressed and when I went on;
deck and made inquiries for him
and did not find lum I reported
the matter to the captain. When
he had made a thorough siarch
of the vessel and did not find my
friend, I knew that the worst
had happened.
not know what happened
that. The vessel was passing
Cape Hatteras Tuesday night,
and the sea was chopped and very
r )Ugh, causing the vessel to roll
considerably. Walter, who had
t .Id roe he was seasick, might
hive undertaken to lean over the
side of the vessel to vomit, and
while he was doing so there
might have been a sudden lurch,
in which he lost his balance
fell overboard. He slept
diately outside the door of our
berth, but I beard no unusual
noise during the night.”
Judge Ormond and Ilarvey
were ja ‘ " * fiends, and
& referred to
as “Damon and Pythias.” They
were much .together, and their
bond of friendship was true and
Mr. Hill and Mr. Brown stated
they would call to see Mrs. Or¬
mond last night and tell her all
they knew of the tragedy.
Judge Ormond was known to
be an expert swimmer, and was
a man of great physical endur¬
ance, being a trained athlete.
There is a possibility, and some
of his friends cling to that hope,
that he may have made a fight
for his life and been saved. If
he could have swam ashore to
some distant light, or if he could
have kept above the water until
daylight, a passing ship might
have picked him up, and there
is the possibility that he may
yet turn up alive and well. It.
is a faint hope, hardly a hare
possibility.
The memorial services which
have been spoken of have been
deferred, as the body may yet be
found.
The Constitution communicat¬
ed last night with Sidney Or¬
mond, brother of the late Judge
Walter Ormond, who is now
working on a newspaper at Vicks¬
burg. He stated that just as
soon as he could make the neces¬
sary business arrangements that
lie intended to come to Atlanta?

MAX NEUBERGER DROWNS
Prominent Savannah Man Loses
Life in Surf at Tybee.
Savannah, (la., July 20.—Max
Neuberger, president of the
Marks Shoe Company, was
drowned late this afternoon while
in the surf at Tybee. His body
was recovered an hour later, a
mile from where the drowning
occurred. It was carried by the
tide to a point where the bodies
of the drowned have usually
been washed up.
Mr. Neuberger must have been
seized by cramps. He was an
athlete and a good swimmer.
There was no one at his side in
the surf, but a short distance
away and nearer the shore were
a number of ladies and children.
They saw him wave his hand as
l, e cried for help. Quickly the
other bathers gave the alarm and
soon men were running to the
scene. They carried a life line
attempted to use it, but Mr.
Neuberger had then disappeared.
There were nothing to be done
then save to institute a search
for his body.
Mr. Neuberger was 27 years
<# i,i and one of the best and most
favorably known of the Jewish
me n of Savannah. He was

New York, July 17.—August,
a Malay bear, has the distinction
of being the smallest of his sDecies
that ever came to America. This
particular infant bear is a foot
long and eight inches high, and
the British steamer, Vandalia,
which arrived today from China,
brought August as~ a passenger,
The bear cub was shipped
aboard the Vandalia at Singa
pore, and it is on the ship’s rec¬
ord that the animal almost oze
to ~ was =
i'ig through the ft sea, =3
though the temperature was over
100 degrees. Malay bears like
heat, and lots of it. August was
shivering like a homeless whelp
in midwinter when the Vandalia
berthed at South Brooklyn today.
August was missed on June 30,
about the time the ship called at
Algiers for coal. A11 morning
the bear had been hanging around
the furnaces in the bottom of the
ship, but it was not warm enough
down there and the cub came on
deck, where the cook gave him
some warm soup. The tempera¬
ture on deck at that particular
time was 108 degrees. Shortly
after this August disappeared.
A search of four hours failed to
locate him and it was supposed
that he had fallen over the ship’s
side.
Toward evening the quarter¬
master happened to look aloft in
the direction of the funnel top
and to his surprise he discovered
August perched on the rim of the
smokestack. The animal had
climbed the ladder of the funnel
and rested partly in the’ funnel
top, where he remained for hours
to keep warm.

Hindu Women.
A Brahmin in Madras Mail.
To call Hindu women ignorant
argues ignorance in those who
say so. It, is a misnomer. Not
to be able to read and write is a
mechanical defect, not an intel
tactual one. How can these
women be called “uneducated”
when their intellects have been
developed and their natures edu¬
cated under a system of education
long in vogue in India, though
very different from what is known
to us at the present day? How
can the intellect of the race have
been kept up under the supposi¬
tion that one half of the commu¬
nity is in a state of barbarism?
How do you account for a Hindu
woman who does not know how
to read and write being able to
quote text after of Manti? There
are Hindoo women who know the
whole code of ethics as contained
in the Dliarma Sastras of Mann,
and the whole of the Furanic lit¬
erature of the ancient Brahmins.
Indeed, the Hindu woman ap¬
pears to my humble understand
sng to be the most cultured of
her sex in any part of the whole
world.

Man Weds Step-Father’s Sister,

Columbus. Ga., July 22. By.a
romantic marriage just consum¬
mated in Columbus, 0. H. Del
lingham, a young man holding a
position with the Southern Bell
Telephone Go., in this city, be
comes his step-father’s brother
in-law. His fair bride is Miss
Emmie Storey, of Beuna Vista,
Ga. The young people had
planned to marry in the fall, and
the wedding, which was perform¬
ed at the residence of Rev. J. W .
Howard, a Baptist minister ot
this city, came as a surprise to
the friends of the couple.
On account of the previous
marriage of Mr. Ee lingham’s
widowed mother to Mr. Story, a
brother of the bride, his relations
with the members of the family
become somewhat complex. Mr.
Dellingham is now a brother-in
law of his own mother, and she
is a sister-in-law to her daugh
ter-in-law. The groom is a broth¬
er-in-law of his own stepfather.
