says the Milwaukee Sentinel which again proves the wisdom of the saying that truth is stranger than fiction Frank Hall a veteran of many battles who was tn the city yesterday is the hero of the story and bis experiences of the past week were such as rarely happen outside the confines of the play -bouse or the pages of a novel In the year 18o0 Hall then a comparatively young man lived in Wanke-afia where he was employed in a floor mill In his a -social ion with tho young people of the village he liecame acquainted with pretty Annie Rivers then a bourne lass of twenty and mutual attachment sprang np He wooed and won and on a sunny dsy -the church befis rang merrily for tbo onion of two hearts shortly after came the breaking ont of tbe war and its consequent excitement and among the -first to volunteer for tbe defense of the nation was Frank Hall Tbe last moment arrived and having bade an affectionate farewell to his weeping bride he entered the cars and was taken to an Illinois regiment to which be had asked to be aa-ugued In the Forty-Second Illinois Volunteers be went to the froDt and none was more irequent in writing home at all poaai ble opportunities than he The letten from bis wife came regn arl at first one informing him of the birth of son then they began to drop off Finally there was a long silence although he continned to aend home his pay One day when the mail was handed out there was a letter for Frank Hall which brougbtsad news It was from a friend in iaconsinwbo in a scarcely legible hand wrote to acquaint him with the death of his wife In 1863 Hall was disabled and received a discharge at Atlanta going to a hospital for a ume On mending he re-enlisted this time in the Thirteenth Ohio and served until the close of the war He determined to continue in his service and enlisted in the Sixth i avalry of tbe regular service being sent to Texas In 1869 be lelt the service and settled in Kansas afterwards going to Washington Territory thence to Michigan and later to Iowa where he has lately redded at Fort Madison A few weeks ago he left Fort Madison to visit relatives in Illinois and Wisconsin and arrived in Milwaukee about a week ago with the intention of looking over familiar ground at Wankeslia and learning the story of his death and the whereabouts of the son be hsd never seen On Monday he alighted from the cars at the Western Saratoga and although scarcely recognizing the town managed to see a familiar sign It bore the name of one of the old mill proprietors The man was not in Dat he was informed as to where oe Gandy a relative of bis wife could be found and tinther he went having hired livery rig Mr Gaudy was espied in front of tbe house designated and he called out to him: are asked the aston-isked Joe Hall made himself known and invited Gandy to a seat in the buggy The conversation tnrned to the anbject of the family and Hall asked where his wife was boned dead exclaimed Gandy no more dead tiian yon are I down to the A more surprised man than Frank Hall never breathed Explanations followed and they started off toward the institution in question It seemed that a brother of wife had died at abont the time he had heard of her death aud that must have occasioned tbe mistake His own letters in some way had failed to reach their destination and it was generally thought that he had been killed and bis wife had mourned him for dead Ehe had become reduced in circumstances and for ten years had been an inmate of an alms house Wnen they arrived at their destination Hall and his friende were ushered in and the matron being acquainted with the nature of tlieix visa called Annie into their presence do yon know this asked Gandy tihs shook her head Hall who recognized her instantly in spite of her added years called to her with outstretched arms asking it she did not know his face tihe started at the sound of his voice bnt did not seem to place him yon know Frank yoar bus- cried Hall The woman stood a moment in surprise and then rushed into the arms of her husband Daring the affecting scene that followed Hall told her 'that better times were coming and an hour later took his leave to make necessary arrangements for her release retnrmng to this city To-day be-goes to claim his wife and tbe happy reunited couple will abortlv leave for Iowa there to renew the fireside so rudely broken by war The story is a most nnasaal one and is strictly true as told above The son lives in Lisbon Wis is in his twenty-eighth year and wagjreceatly married the Government and Legalatnre of Alabama were practicing a fraud upon the builders of the monument who afterwards it was learned themselves stole several millions donated mainly by the poor of all the btates to rear this mightiest shaft of atone ever uplifted by human hands But the stone sent by Arabama on which was written the strongest possible attestation of the State's devotion to memory was for a time denied a place in the monument because the marble dealers of Vermont who monopolized the trade in this building material declared that Alabama had no such atone as this and that such aa thia was Pentehcan or Parian It was ont of a block of Pen-tellcau marble that Powers carved the Greek slave now tn the Corcoran Art Gallery in Washington and out of a block of Pentencan marble that Phidias years earlier carved the Ven ns Aphrodite Oar Vermont fellow countrymen were anwtiting to have ft known that marble like this within a few miles of Birmingham constituted perpendicular bluffs on a river which may be made to flow throngh this city that transportation may eost nothing Then the finest and costliest marble the world ever saw would be relatively cheeper here in Birmingham than brick and iron and coel There is no such stons in Vermont in East Tennessee or in Washington and there is only on block of Alabama marble in the Fed eral capital built of marble We have seen jet black variegated and absolutely coloriese marble more lustrously beautiful and of a finergrain and smoother surface and susceptible of fiuer brought hither from Talladega county than ever adorned Persian palaces or Greek temple or Italian cathedrals Birmingham was first bnllt of logs end planks then of bricks Within the century it will be of marble cheaper now if the river Overshadowed by these high cliffs of marble ninety feet high ran as it will some day through this city We were telling not many davs ago of present splendors of Birmingham as seen when the sun shines brightly and cloudlessly as throngh ail the days of the bygone year from environing mountains Then re told of fitful lights and shadows and of flaming splendors that never go out illuminating the plait) throngh all the nights of successive years These changeful fires and thia coruscating electric glare at night and gorgeous perennial sunshine wilt ted unwonted bril iancy on a city whose palaces and homes and temples within onr time will be of marble and coal iron and steel transmuted into Central and Mouth American gold wilt gild domes and spires more brilliantly than they have dreamed who prophecy most extravagantly of the coming splendore of Birmingham to Iretn whom they purchase Another Jencej presented a terrible anpearance favorable feature in direct importation is that the goods are not examined and inspected at ports of first arrival like New York Boston New Orleans and elsewhere neither are they subjected to a repack which ia often the means of breakage and damage Then in snch cases as breakage and damage the surveyor will at once entenain a plea for refund of duties whereas if goods were released at ex-tention porta much corresponding and nn necessary delay would have to be gone throawb with before the refund could be obtained The above facts are only a few out of a great many which go to conclusively prove the many snpermrad vantages to be derived from direct importation Following is a fist of
