The Statues 'of Meade and Hancock
Unveiled at Gettysburg.
RECEIVED BY THE STATE.
Governor Hastings Accepts the Statues on
Behalf of the Commonwealth of

ple \Vitness the Ceremonies.
GETTYSBURG, Pa, June 6.-—A large
number of veterans of the late war and
others assembled on the battlefield here to
witness the unveiling of the equestrian
statues erected by the state of Pennsyl-
vania in honor of Generals George G.
Meade and Winfield S. Hancock, two
Pennsylvania soldiers who Were the most
prominent participants in the battle of
Gettysburg on the Union side. The core.
monies began with the unveiling of the"
Meade memorial at 10:30 a. m. This was
performed by George Gordon Meade, a
grandson of the dead hero. As the drapery
fell a salute was fired by Light Battery 0
of the United States army, which came
here from the Washington barracks under
command of Captain Lancaster. This was
followed by the dedicatory services con-
ducted by George G. Meade post No. 1,
Pennsylvania Grand Army of the Repub-
lic. General Gobin of Lebanon, on behalf
of the commission which supervised the
erection of the statues, formally trans-
ferred the memorial to Governor Hastings,
who received it on behalf of the state. All
oration by General David McMutric Gregg
of. Reading, the commander of the Second
Cavalry division in the battle Of Gettys-
burg, concluded the Meade ceremonies.
The Hancock Statue Unveiled.
At 2 p. m. the HanGOck statue was un-
veiled. The ceremonies resembled those
at the Meade unveiling in the morning.
Battery C fired a salute. General Gobin
transferred the statue to the state, and
Governor Hastings received it. The ora-
tion was delivered by General Henry H.
Bingham, representative in congress from,
Philadelphia, who was on General Han-
cock’s staff at Gettysburg.
Hundreds of Grand Army men .who at-
tended the annual meeting at Chambers- .
burg stopped here on their Way home to
participate in the ceremonies. Among the
distinguished men present were: Major
General Nelson A. Miles, commanding the
United States army; Brigadier General
John R. Brooks, U. S. A., who commands
the department of the Platte;, Colonel
George Meade, the son of General Meade;
Lieutenant Colonel William Brooke Bowie
and Major Edward Carpenter of Philadel-
phia, and Colonel Finley Anderson of New
York, who was on Hancock’s staff. Gen-
eral Daniel E. Sickles of New York, who
commanded the Union left on the battle-
field here, was unable to come. He sent
a letter expressing his regret and euloglz-
ing the heroes whose memory was hon-
ored. ,
Description ofrthe Statues.
The statues are very handsome. They
were erected at the expense of the state
and cost over $100,000. The work' was
begun about two years ago under the di-
rection of a commission consisting of Gen-
eral J. T. Taylor, president; Generals J.
P. S. Gobin and William R. Hartshorne
and Colonels John P. Nicholson and R.
Bruce Ricketts, all of whom were present

Gettysburg granite. The pedestals are of
white Westerly granite. The Hancock
statue stands on East Cemetery hill, near-

Belasco on the Rack.
NEW YORK, June 6. —At the third day's
trial of the suit of David Belasco, play-
wright and creator of star actresses and
actors, against N. K. Fairbank, the Chi-
‘cago pork packer, to recover'365,000 for
training and launching Mrs. Leslie Carter
as a star actress, Belasco was cross exam-
ined with a view of showing that he did
not make a star actress of Mrs. Leslie
Carter at Mr. Fairbank’s request, and
that he himself was the proprietor of “The
UglyDuckling” company, in which Mrs.
Carter first appeared. The defense also
sought to show that Belascohad intimat-
ed to Fairbank that if he did not settle
there wore certain letters and papers that
he might not ‘like to have made public
and published. This Belasco denied.

Another Expert Testifies to Finding Poi-
son That Was Given Mrs. Bliss. _
NEW YORK, June 6.—'-Th:e testimony
given through the medium-of Dr. Henry
A. Mott, analytical and consulting chem-
ist, professor in Rutgers college and ex-
pert witness for the people in the trial of
Mrs. Fleming. charged with the killing of
her mother, Mrs. Evelina M. Bliss, by
poison, did much to supply one of the two
missing links that would make a chain of
evidence against the defendant. Dr.
Mott found arsenic in is e quantities in
Mrs. Bliss’ stomach, in its contents, in
her last vomit, on a Japanese vase said to
be owned by Mrs. Fleming, on one of her
‘ trays and on the cover of a tin pail. That
this poison was found in her stomach
wasn’t remarkable in itself. Mr. Brooke
has even gone so far as to say that it is
possible that the defense will be that
Mrs. Bliss committed suicide. But that
this arsenic was found on articles of fur-
niture is ,of vastly more importance to the
people’s case.
The great and notable victory was Mr.
McIntyre’s argument by which he secured
the admissicn‘of the articles of furniture
as exhibits. His argument was brilliant
and rapid. He cited the case of the Chi
cago anarchists, in which the bombs were
found near «the known meeting place of
Spies and his gang. This was a blow to
Mrs. Fleming. Dr. Mott’s testimcny was
so distinct that no effort was made by Mr.
Brooks to disparage it, and he wisely left
the witness alone, not consuming more
than three minutes in his cross examina-
tion. . ,
Dr. 'Scheele, another expert Witness for
the prosecution, was examined by Lawyer
O’Sullivan. . '
“Do you recognize people’s exhibit C?”
asked Dr. O’Sullivan, holding up a bottle
which contains, according to the prosecu-
tion,-some of the contents of Mrs. Bliss’
stomach, removed by Dr. O’Hanlon at the
autopsy. ‘
‘Yes,” replied the witness.
“Where did you first see it?"
“In the possession of Coroner O’Mea-
gher.”
The witness went on to say that he had
received a portion of the contents of the
bottle for analysis. Dr. O’Sullivan held
up another bottle, marked as containing
matter rejected by the stomach of Mrs.
Bliss. Dr. Scheele recognized it and tes«
tified that he had received a portion of the
contents from the coroner for analysis.
“What was the result of your analysis
of this substance?" asked Dr. O’Sullivan.
Mr. Brooks objected that the bottle had
not been properly identified, and after
some wrangling Dr. O’Sullivan said, “I
withdraw thequestiog f9;- thqtigne. ”
Another series of questions and anSWers
satisfied the recorder that the question re-
garding the result of the witness’ analysis
was in order. Dr. O’Sullivan put it again,
and Dr. Scheele answered:
“I made tests and got a precipitate
which contained arsenm trioxide and anti-
monyin the form of tartar emetic.”
The chemist produced a number of samé
pics of the poisons which he said he had
found, and they were added to the already
long list. of exhibits.
“ What did you next
Dr. O’Sullivan.
“A small paper package containing
crystals.” ‘ -
This was part of the sediment taken by
Coroner O’Meagher ‘ and Clerk Malone
from the bottom of the chowder pitcher.
Malone had testified that he had wrap-
ped it in a small piece of paper and carried
it in his pocket to the chemist’s. .
Mr. Brooks objected to the witness tell-
ing what he found in these crystals, and
Recorder Goff sustained him because, the
prosecution had neglected to have Malone
identify the paper in which the sediment
was wrapped.
