THE DALLY BEEK ‘MONDAY DECE IMBHR 15 1884 BURIED ALIVE, [ Miss Howmax's Dgclared @ Frand, A Fall Account of the Affair, With Its Probabilities. Disbelicved by the Woman's Friends by Dr. Wright's Hrothe and Dented Chicago Tribune Specia Prrrsrignn, Mass,, December was made by your correspondent to farm of Judge Rowley of North Fgremont, thoe uncle of Batelle Newman, who is allezed to have been restored to life in a medical col lego distecting-room, and the administrator of her estate, Judge Rowloy is chairman of the selectmen of hix town, and a conservative, eonscientions gentleman of the old school, From him were gleaned many facts throwirg light upon tho very strange story regarding Miss Newman's supposed death ‘and subsos quent resuscitation. Miss Nowman, it ap veara, was a bright lady of about 30 years, of oxcellont parentago Righly tured, and having many warm friends, . For many years #ho had been tho organist of the Methodist church at North Igremont. In December, 1578 she was attacked by spinal meningitis, and died early In January, The funeral was attended from the Methodist church, and the intorment was in_the family lot adjoining the church, Among the mourners at the grave was one H, Worth Wright, an Kgremont young man Who at that time was studying surgery in the Albany medical college. ~ He had long known Miss Newman, although, so far as known, their friondship never had a vroachod to intimacy. The evening of th day of the funeral » county ball was given at ligremont, which Wright and his brother at. tended. Afterward the young man returned to his studies at Albany and graduated high in lus class, Hlo sottled at Shefiield, Mass, for a whilo, but later drifted into Cunnecti- cut, where he died in 1881, after some yoars of dissipation. THE ALLEGED HODY SNATCHING, Now comes the strange part of the story. 1t is alleved that dunvg tho meht fuliowing the burial, Worth Wright and three fello: students visited the g ard, exhumed the body of Miss Newmian 1" carried_it to Alvany; that soon aftee re 7 the dissect. ing room, evidences of lif s found and the girl becamo anim taken o Bellevue hospital, Ne after a period of ineanity, she regs health, and was taken to tho home of the unale of one of tho ghonlish students, i in Schoharie c ;, Now York, dent was in partnership with hi practleing medicine and surgery. RESTOKED TO REASON, Her hoalth entirely returned and her mind was as bright as over, she read in a newspaper of the murdor of Dr. Wright, at Newton, Ct., and at once showed a great in- 't in tho case, aflirming that Dr. Wright as an old friend, and seomingly faintly re- calliug to mind her supposed faial illness at home. In the meautime, however,the student at whose uucle’s house she was living, had fallen deeply in love with her and married her, The story further details that the paic aro now living in New York city, and pro- POse to visit the scenes of the iady’s child- hood during the present winter. S0 much for the story which has upset the usual quietudeof North Iigremont and surrounding towns and resulted in a pandemonium of gossip. M. Rowlay states that application hus baen mado to him by distaut relatives of Miss Nowman to open her grave and at once settle the ques. tion of her death, He does not favor this plan, believing' first, that the story is untrue, and,” second, preferting to lst the matter re- main an_uncertainty rather than open the grave with the possibility of finding his worst fears confirmed, He leaves to-morrow for an extended trip to Virginia, doubtless glad t> @et away for a time from an air so laden with uncomfortable rumors, He was the executor of Miss Newmaa’s estate, and the $7,000 left by her has been disposed of by law. He never had suspected thatshe was living until a week ago. A visit THE VILLAGE AGAPE, The Barrington postofice was crowded at noon and all’ the villlsgers wero gossij about the story, W. I, Crippon, &_cousin of the girl, states that three.fourths of the peo- ple of Bgremont fully believe that Miss New- man's body was exhumed, and further states that if the proper authoritios do not at once take ateps to settle the question the citizens will take the matter in their own hands and find out the truth or untruth of the story. He is willing to make oath to the fact that four young men were driven out of the cemetery the night in question, and is positive that tho story is tiue, at least in 80 far as the theft of the concerned, The flames ace further fed by the statement of one of the women, who was prosent at the death of Miss Nowman, and who statos that two days after tho supposed death, ou the day of tho funeral, she accl- dontally touched tho back of the body snd found » spot o warm that tho heat was plainly perceptiblo even through the clothing, frs, Newmun, the mother of Estelle, aud Mrs, Chapel, a' sister of the woman alleged to have been resurrected, rolato circumstances which incraase the improbabilities of the cur- ront gossip. Mrs, Chapel had heart nothing of the romance concerning her buried relative. She was with Iistella when she was suppos-d to die. The sick woman had been through a relizons rovival and her mind affocted Hor 1 nia took tho form of a e fon that it wus her duty not to eat, and she died from starvation together with spinal complaint. Hor flesh was 5o waste ] away that it was thought impossiblo that she could have been brought back to life in the strange way re- portod. A DENIAL BY DR, WRIGHT'S BROTHER, The current story receives another blow in tho statement of W, R.

Work of Place How it Compares With the Ancients—A Splendid for Suiciaes, Washington Correspondence of the Cleveland Leader, Wasaisaroy, December 6, —To-day tho aluminum cap was placed on the top of the Washington Monument and its ex- terior Is completed. Five hundred and fifty-five feet high, it has an ares at the base large enough for two big city houses, but its top, as it kissos the clouds, 1s no larger than the point of a pin, At 500 feet above the ground it has four sides each of which 18 thirty-tive feet wide. Its arear at this point is that of a comfortable elx room house, iach room of which migat be twelvo by sixteen. It would take more than 125 yards of carpet to covea its floor, and a man with a good elevator might make a ploasant summer residonce of a house built up here, This square forms the base of the pyramidal top which runs from it fifty-five feet until it terminates in its metalic point, This point 18 constructed of the largest piece of aluminum ever made, It is a pyramid nine inches high., which shines like a speck of light awyy up there under the sun. It weighs just 100 ounces and s one-third as light as it would bo as if it was made of copper, Aluminum does not corode, and it makes one of the best conductors of lightin, A wire will be aed fo the lower side of this little id and runs down into the earth. This will make the longest lightning rod ever constructed. Standing by the monument ono is greatly impressed with the mechanical skill required to build it. 1ts stones are great blocks,in somo cases nine feot long, two foet thick, and three and more feet wide. There are more than 18,000 of them. They are of white marble and weigh several tons each. The Ingenuity which can raise such stones several hun- dred feet above the ground seems the trinmph of wmechanical skill, and one i® inclined to pat himeelf on the back in that he belongs to an age so far advanced 1 the march of progress. He is inclined to sneer at tho works of the psst, and to tnink that tho massive structure before him will outlast® the ages. A second theught bids him psuse. Ho remembers the saying in regard to the Roman C seum: “While stands the Colissum, Rome stand, ‘When falls the Coliseum, Rome shall fall, Aud when Kome falls, with it shall fall the world,” 8till the Coliseum, when it was bullt at the beginning of the Christian err, had a better chance of lasting than the Wash- fogton monument. It was a far more wonderful structure, and the mechanical skill required in bullding it was quite as great, The largest theater in the world to-day will not seat 7,000 spectators. The Coliseum had seats for 87,000 and standing room for 20,000 more. Its walls were made of heavier blocks than those of the Washingion monument, and they ran 157 feet high, Its interlor was 80 large that the Washington monument could have been laid inside of it without disturbing its masonry, and of the one- third o tne glgantic structure which re- maing after Romo has been building from it and ravaging it for centuries, the erials alone are said to be worth two millions and a half of dollars. This twice as much as the cost of the Wash. ington monument, and five hundred thousand dollars to spare. shail 1t was a greater work than thisto erect the Collosus of Rhodes, that immense brazen statuo, 140 feet high, which stood across the Straiws of the Hellespont so that tall masted boats could sail between its huge legs without injury. This statne weighed nearly 800,000 pounds, and after an earthquake overthrew it—as one may indeed sometime do the monument—its rulng lay for nine centurics, and at the end of that time it took a caravan of 900 camels to carry the metal away. Look at Pompey’s column whica still stands overlooking the Mediterranean on the outside of Alexandria in Egypt, A solid shaft, sixty-soven fect high and ning feet in diameter, of the heayiest of red granite, raiscd upon a pedestal 104 feet high, The mechanical skill required to elevate that immense shaft and wo bring it a thousand miles down the Nilois quite equal to anything cf the present. And then the pyramide; The top of tho great pyramid has a platform thirty-two feet equaro, only three feet less than this Washington monument where the pyra- midal top begins, The blocks of which the pyramids are constructed aro much larger than those in the Washington monument, and it is said that it took ten years to make the road over which to carry these heavy stones. It took whole citles of men to build the pyramid of Cheops, and according to Herodotus the radishes and onions waich the workmen ate cost once and a half the price of the Washington monument. This pyramid has an area of thirteen acres at its base and its height is 483 feet. It must have cost billlions to build it, and resting in the dry atmosphere of the desert one would think that here at least would be a morsel too hard and dry for the tooth of time, But the wind and the weather have caten even into the pyra- mids, and their beauty and gplendor show the effect of decay, The Washington monument in the humid atmosphers of America, as it breathes year by year the oxhalations of the swampy Potomac, will have a far shorter career, The seeds of nature invisible to the eye will creep into its crevices and time will crumble its now solid marble, Still the monument will, whiloe it lasts be coneidered one ot tha wonders of the world. It isnow the highest thingin the world—forty-three feet higher than the spires of the Cologne cathedral, ahd 0 tall that the Sphinx could be put on the top of £t. Paul's and still be more than & hundred feet below it. It will at- tract travelers from far and near, I do not agree with those who say it is noth- ing but a great chimney, It is a work of massive, symmetrical and wonderful im- mensity; and no man can view 1t without being filled with great thoughts of man and natare and their infinite possibiliti To see it beat you wuch approach it with the sun at your back. Otherwise the blinding rays of the southern sun strik- ing 1ts white eurface rebound with a daz- zling glare.

Axvrew J, How ' Forayth, G, Aug. b, 1 10t a foartul roo hottloa of 4. now work, The weather has 8o voried it that it looks like & moasic of yellow fossilized rock. I could here seo that the monument was mado up of a thonsand of little squares, and they seemed like myriads of marble paper weights pilsd one upon another, I moved two blocks nearcr and st down to write on the railrond which was used to carry the groat marble blocks from the depot to the masons. It was not over H00 feet from the base of the monument, and had it fallon in my diroc- tion its pyramidal cap would have crushed mo to powder, The monument has now jumped too many times its former slzo. The symmotry of its sidos as 1t stands away up thore running into tho blue sky, is basuty and sublimity combined, and this sublimity increases as one goes mneaoer. At tho base of the mound it overpowers you, and it you will, a8 1 did, climb up close to one of thoso big walls and putting your chin againat the marble, gazy straight up for 500 foot, will take your breath away. Here it seems the Chinese wall running up into heaven—tho Tower ot Babol approsching completion—or Jacob's ladder molded in marblo, Look at tho marble in front of you, now! It is boeutiful etono as pol- 1shed as Michael Angelo’sstatue of David and speckled with scales or spots of frosted silver. A closs observer will note that those old stones aro all cracking at the corners where they aro joined to- gother, and that the thoueands of tons which proes down upon them have crack- ed the wesker stoncs so that long, ugly marka appesr here and thero to blot the symmetry of the whole. Step around the front and there is a door eight feet wide and sixteen feet high leading into tho interlor. This door faces the capitol, and there is one oppo- site it looking out upon the Potamac., Go inside. The walls ore fifteen feet thick, and the interior makesa room at the bo:- tom of twenty-five feet square. In this an immense iron frame work, with steel wire ropes two inches thick, supports the machinery of the elevator, and at one side begin the stairs which, by easy flights, run round and rougd for nearly nine hundred stops until they reach the top. There are tifty flights, and eigh- teen steps to each flight. At the end of every flight thereis a platform, snd in the wall opposite this the memoricl stones are to be placad and lighted with electric lighte. Go to the center cf the interior at the base, throw your head back, and look upward, I'or five hundred feet there is nothiog but darkness, and ot the top you e a fow rays of light creeping in at the windowa. ‘There is & noise mads by one of the workmen, [t comes down through tho monument like the boomlng of & cann~n, and I jump quickly aside, look- 1oz at the big hole in the boards at my foet. That hole was made by a crowbar which elipped from a man’s hands at the top the other day, and fell clear to the bottom, going through these boards like ashot, So far no one has been killed In cornection with this monument and it is probablo that it will be completed with- out loss of life. When done it will make a splendid place for euicldes, and 1f the winlows are not grated it may become as famous as the coluun of Vindome.
