the memory of its most famous citizen,
The ceremony took
place at 4 o’clock Wednesday afternoon in
the triangular plot of grass in front of the
city hall, which the statue faces. ‘

 

STATUE OF HENRY WARD BEECHER.
Long before the time for the unveiling
every foot of ground available was packed
with a solid phalanx of humanity, and the
temporary stand which had been erected
was a vision of pretty feminine faces and

bright costumes. When the hour of 4 ar
rived the Rev. S. B. Halliday offered up a
prayer, and then Rev Charles H. Hall,
D. D., of Trinity Episcopal church, intro-
duced Mayor Chapin, who presided. The
mayor made a short speech, in which he
paid a. glowing tribute to (the life work of
the dead minister, and praised the citizens
for the spirit manifested in thus honoring
his memory.
Unveiled by His Granddaughter.

After the mayor'had concluded Gertrude
Roxana Beecher, the granddaughter of
Henry Ward Beecher, accompanIed by the
sculptor, John Quincy Adams Ward, ad-
vanced to'the front of the platform and
pulled the spring which cast 011’ the
drapery, and amid a prolonged outburst of
applause expOsed the beautiful work of art
to view. Then 300 children from the Sun-

day school of Plymouth church and the

Bethel and Mayflower missions, who Were

stationed by the pedestal, led 1n the sing-
' ‘ing to the music of the band of the Thir-

teenth regiment, the full command being
présent, of the, hymn, “LOVe divine all
love excelling,” which has been called

“Beecher” from his preference for it.

. Dr. Hall, at the close of the hymn, pre-
sean the statue, as chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee and on behalf of the
subscribers, to the city. Mayor Chapin,
after a. reply of acceptance, turned it over
to- President George W. Browcr, of the

park department. The band then played

the adagio from Beethoven’s “Fifth Sym-

phony, ”’ which Mr. Beecher loved. The

oration, by President Seth Low, of Colum-

.bia. college, ex-mayOr Of BrOoklyn, fol-
lowed, and after the singing of the na-

tional hymn, “America, ” Rabbi Gottheil,

of the Temple Emmanu-El, of New York

city, pronounced the closing benediction.
The Memorial.

This work, which has cost the admirers
of that great man of all creeds and nation—
alities the handsome amount of $35,000,
has been under way for three years in the
studio of its sculptor, J. Q. A. Ward, and

in the bronze foundry of the Henry-Bout »
Inard company.

The movement for the erection of a 111e-
morial—Which it was at first intended
should be placed in Prospect park, but

which was placed where it now is in ac-

cordance with the desire of Mrs. Beecher,
that it should be near the place of his
trial—'-was begun shortly after his death,
and resulted In a subscription of extreme-
ly popular character, the smallest amounts
being welcomed. At the‘ArerssociatiO'n'
building, in Montague street, the first
citizens’ meeting was held in March, 1887.
Of the executive committee Dr. Hall is,
chairman, F. W. Hinrichs vice chairman,
R. B. Moffatt secretary, and the late Rip-
ley Ropes was the first treasurer 'of the
fund.

The memorial' Is one of the meet import-
ant and one of the best works of the sculp-
tor. The statue of Mr. Beecher stands on

a simple polished pedestal of dark Quincy.

and base, designed by Richard M. Hunt,
the architect.

dren, a boy and a girl, humbly clad. Mr.
Beecher is shown With overcoat on and

moment In a. walk or about to address an

As the Public Man. ,

It 18 as the public man and not as the
preacher that the sculptor, 1n view of the
widely popular nature of the movement
which resulted in the erectiOn of the statue,
has represented his Subject, The pose is
natural, the modeling strong and realistic

and the expression of the face turned to“

the right, and excellent as a'- portrait, is
particularly happy.
The negro girl, who bends one knee on

the pedestaldaase and raises to the plinth a '

branch of palm to typify the gratitude of

her race, is strong and characteristic and
in no way idealized. More graceful in its ,

and those on the right and, 1; ft below
about 1 ,500 pounds each, giv ing a total
weight of about 5,600 pounds for the
bronze. ' _
' The sculptor has endeavored, with suc-
cess, tore mpiesent notaloneamanxof‘cour-
age, of boldness and of intellect, but one

.of broad sympathy with humanity,_ the

figures of the children testifying of his
sympathy with young life as that of the

girl does with the oppressed. , . ~ -

- The Site. ..
In reference _to the suggestion that it was
not proper to have Mr. Beecher almost, if
not actually, facing the building where

the famous t11al took place, Mr. Ward
says that In the first place it faces the city ,

hall and not the court house, and' In the
second that it was better that he should
face the building rather than turn his
back to it, the former position being de-
cidedly more in character.

_In reference to the artistic questions in-
vOlved in nlacin;r the statue facing the
city hall, MI. Ward says that he does net

want to put up any of his statues facing.
where it would be almost 3.1

the n01 th,
ways in shadow. Again, if _it faced north
it could not be properly seen on account
of the fountain at the smaller end of the
plot of ground, which the city did not care
to remove. Besides, at that end there are
electric light , and other poles and the
st1 11cture of the elevated railway, and few

people pass by the fountain, most of them

goihg up or down Fulton and Court
streets. _

Again, argues Mr. Ward, the statue is
intended for familiar and close inspection,
and people can get that where it now
stands. Also, if it were placed facing
north, where the fountain is, it would look
likea pigmy against the huge facade of
the city hall. And in all this the sculptor
is right. '

The pedestal bears on the front the
name and the dates of birth and death,
and at the back an inscription.

Frightfully Mangled by a Bulldog.

LANSING, Mich, June 25.—Mrs. James
Parish, of this city, had a terrible experi-
ence with a ferocious bulldog last night.
In attempting to drive the animal away
from a passer by whom he had attacked,
she was set upon by the brute, who jump-
ed at her throat. Her left hand was bitten
in nine places. The dog’s teeth were
driven entirely through her left wrist, and
the fleshy part of her right arm below the
elbow was chewed to a. pulp. In her ef-
forts to keep the dog from her throat the
plucky woman finally thrust her hand into
his mouth, and grasping his tongue, hung
on. The animal soon became exhausted
and gave up the struggle and was killed.
It is feared that he was mad.

Futile Efforts to Discover the Iden-
tity of the Dead Woman.

THE. MARKS ON HER THROAT

They Are Believed to Be an'Intlicntion
That the Unfortunate One, Who was
Evidently a_ Person of Refinomen‘tf -
Was a Victim of Foul Play. ‘

, TARRYTOWN, N. Y., June 25.7All-day

persons trooped in and out of Vanderbilt’s
undertaking establishment here.
.came out of mere curiosity, while others,

'Midsnmmer Silks.

the hope of discovering the identity of the
dead woman.
N ow that it has been definitely estab-

lished that the remains me not those of

the little actress Dollie Davis the interest
that was manifested in the case here has

in no way abated. On the contrary, it has
increased threefold, for the inhabitants ‘

fully realize that they have before them ‘a
mystery which it will be hard to unravel,
no matter what turn the case may take. _

Even if the case is oneof suicide, they
say, establishing the identity of the dead
woman will be a big undertaking in it-
self, unless some one appears, and that
soon, to settle the question. If the case is
one of suicide, the inhabitants argue with
much reason there must have been a. mo-
tive unusually strong, because the suicide.
if such she be, was not of the class Who
usually resort to such measures.

A ‘Voman of Refinement.

Everything about her indicates that she
has been a woman of refinement. The
small, delicate features are sufficient indi-k
cation of that, leaving out of considera
tion altogether the fact that her hands are
small, well shaped, White and soft, and
her feet are small and prettily formed.

The delicate, small knuckled hands have
never been accustomed to work, a fact
which doesn’t require the eye ofan expert
to determine, consequently the theory that
has been advanced that the dead woman
had been a domestic somewhere further
up the river is ridiculed here.

The statement also is ridiculed that the
woman reached Croton via the. steamboat
Chrystenah. The boat does not reach
Peekskill until almost 8 o’clock in the
evening, and after that hour no trains
leave Peekskill which stop at Croton Land-
ing. Consequently, in order to reach Cro-
ton and be seen there at 9:30 on Friday
night, the woman would have been obliged
to walk from Peekskill to Croton, which is
between some! and eight miles, in a pelt-
ing. rat's

N 0 one hired a. carriage in which to be '

driven to Croton Landing,- a fact which
has been established by a canvaSS of the
livery stables of Peekskill. Having satis-
fied themselves that the woman is not of
the class which finds an end of all troubles
in self destruction, the townstlk, not at
all decided as to its having been a suicide,
want to know the motive if it has been

such.

The ’Bruises on Her Neck.

Some think it can be found in the state-
ment attributed to Dr. Coutant, Of this
place, who is reported to have said yester-
day that the young woman had been a
mother within a month. That would-have
been a. motive for suicide, the townsfolk
say, though at the same time it could as
easily be a. motive for murder.

What makes them believe that the wom-
an has been foully dealt with is the fact
that bruises have beenfound on one side
of her throat. Mrs. Vanderbilt, the moth-
er of the undertaker, and one who has
closely examined the remains, said this
morning that the bruises were there, and
that she had seen them with her own eyes.

The marks are on the left side of, the
neck. One bruise is down on the jugular
vein. Another bruise is a. trifle less than
two inches above the first and also on a
line with the jugular. Further to the
front, under the rear of the jawbone, are
two more bruises. All are on the left side,
and what caused them has not been de-
termined. That is one of the points which
it is expected will be cleared up by the au-
topsy.

Mrs. Vanderbilt said that she called the
attention of Dr. Contact to the marks on
the throat of the dead woman. He exam-
ined them very carefully, and came to the
conclusion that .they had been inflicted be-
fore death. That sets at reSt the supposi-
tion that the Injuries were received when
the woman either jumped or was thrown
overboard. The . question is naturally
asked, “Who inflicted the bruises?”

The Footprints in the Mud.

Either the woman or the One who caused
her death was mOre or less familiar with
the place, but neither would have known

. anything about the Sleepy Hollow ceme-
