I Victory at Ridgefield One of Good Deeds Credited to Benedict Arnold. The battle of Rldgefleld, Conn, was among the creditable things In Arnold's life. It came between the struggle In Maine and the time when he tricked St Leger Into believing that he had a great force of men. In consequence the Indian allies left the British commander and Fort Stanwlx was saved. After this, too, Arnold won the battle of Saratoga while Gates sulked In his tent. liut It was only a little more than three years from the day the battle of Rldgefleld was fought that Major An dre was writing his celebrated letter to Washington. The history of Kldge- fleld Is strangely associated with Ar nold's brilliant courage as a soldier and the whole unhappy story of his at tempt to betray the then struggling re public. About four miles from Rldgefleld, In South Salem, Major Andre was held a prisoner by Gen. Joshua King. (A stone marks the place.) Major Andre was arrested because he was "sus pected of being a spy." Andre said later that he was captured because of the fine boots he had on. And Isaac N.

IJke the Lafayette statue to be erected on approval at the base of the Washington monument, discussion surrounds the final location of the colossal Morris bronze, the largest of Its kind ever cast In Baltimore. Morris was intended for the steps of the Philadelphia custom house. Some thought he would be more attractive elsewhere. Until the Thilndelphlans come to an agreement Morris will calmly watch the Roland Park cars roll by the foundry. Ten years ago the commission for the statue was given by the city of Philadelphia to Richard Brooks, an American sculptor of International reputation. Two years later Brooks died and the American art commission gave the contract to Paul Bartlett, called by many America's foremost sculptor. Mr. Bartlett went to New Tork from his Paris studio. After reading more than one hundred books relative to Morris' career and history and studying old portraits of the subject, Mr. Bartlett began modeling. Nine months ago the model reached the foundry. Special sand beds were constructed for the work. The statue Is nine feet six Inches tall and contains more than one and a half tons of bronze. Special cranes and lifting ap paratus were installed for the work. Morris, a Philadelphia banker, raised $1,400,000 to assist Washington in the movement that resulted In the capture of Yorktown. He was one of the in corporators of the Bank of North America, subscribing $10,000 when the government, in 1781, was In a financial situation. In 1788 he was elected to the United States sen. ate. He also held state offices In Penn sylvania. He declined the post f sec" retary of the treasury in favor of Al exander Hamilton. Failure of a partnership dealing In East India and China trade caused Morris to be thrown Into a debtor's cell for several years. He was liberated by the passage of the national bankrupt !r.w In 1802. While he was a prisoner, Washington Invited Mrs. Morris to be their guest at Mount Vernon for an in definite nerlod. Morris' wife was Mary White, daugh White, of Maryland. He died In Philadelphia in 1806. des-nprn-te b Dwbbm er AumcsS wrao Sma.':?-tmo- s Tana spks4Vm Mian assssw Ssbows 6oe teesmci la (beam Pm to 8roawaxaas vsueas gdEWSB i Monument at Rldgefleld, Conn., to Patriots and Their Revolutionary Foes.

It was continued next day, Arnolds forces pursuing Tryon to the ships at Compo. Had not Sir William Erskine reinforced Tryon with an overwhelming number of marines from shipboard he would have been defeated. General King became an Important personage In Rldgefleld. His descendants, the J. Howard Kings, have built a house on the place where his home stead used to stand. They keep a chair which was a favorite of Andre's. King was one of the members of the convention which formed the Connecticut constitution at Hartford in 1818. To the end of his life, mounted upon his white-facebay, he was one of ths sights of the town. ) d THEIR OWN COLORS l I! i 30000"! I!

Oarsman Shouts Warning. Suddenly a boat was seen coming across the bay. From the manner In which the oarsman dipped his blades and bent his back, watchers sensed something unusual and conversation lagged as they walked down to the wharf to meet him. He saw them gathering, and when a hundred yards from shore the boatman turned his head to shout: "A British off shore and heading this way !" Where all had been peace and security confusion and alarm now reigned. Never before had Cape Porpoise been visited by the enemy. The very unexpectedness of the Impending attack struck terror to the hearts of many. There could be but one meaning: the British had come to fire and ravage the village. Defense there was none.
