BELL 15 CENTER OF LIFE TRAGEDY Man, Present at Cracking, After Inventing Way to Mend It, Dies Disappointed. OFFER REFUSED IN 1875 Symbol of Ended Mission Reason for Refusing to Allow Restoration of Tone as Shown In Tests. Inventor Is Praised. Elsbty years ago last Thursday the famous Liberty Bell, so precious to all true citizens of. the United States, now speeding Its way across the con tinent, rang for the last time. It was broken while being tolled in memory of Chief Justice John Marshall, whose death occurred two days before. A young man, Daniel Lindley Rlggs, born at Basking Kidge, New Jersey, June 11, 1816, of Revolutionary an cestry, was present at the funeral and became deeply impressed with the thought that it was probable that the bell would never ring on July Kourth again, according to the custom which had been in vogue tor many years in a good mechanic he began to Investigate methods of mending broken bells. Mr. Rlggs was married in Newark In 1838 and in 1S37 removed to Kast Haven, Conn.. engaging: in business there. In 1153 he came to Oregon by way of the Isthmus at the behest of A. C. It. Shaw, a pioneer of 1144. resid ing at Eola, Folk County, and became the master mechanic in erecting at that place a combination steam saw and grist mill the first of the kind on the Pacific Coast. Two years later he returned to Connecticut, remaining until the Spring of 185S when be came back to Oregon. Mendlaa- mt Bell Oaly Desire. During these years the idea of re pairing the Liberty Bell haunted him, and at length aa the centennial of American Independence was approach ing an invention by which that could be done and the original tone restored was patented In 1874. During that year Mr. Riggs mended several bells In Salem and vicinity, and at one time bought a new bell, had it tuned by an expert, then broken and repaired and afterwards tested by the same expert, who testified under oath that the tone of the bell was the same in both Instances. The Governor and Secretaryof Oregon, president of the college at Philomath and other well-known citizens were witnesses of the complete success. At length he decided to go to Phila delphia to demonstrate In person the practicability of his scheme. His son and two sons-in-law supplied the necessary funds, and he started from Portland on March 6. 175, supplied with testimonials from the Governor and Secretary of State of Oregon, as well as a number of other well-known citizens of the state and the Pacific Coast. Offer nefaaea lr Committee. These were placed before the cus todian committee of the Liberty Bell In due time and a date set for a trial of his skill. A new bell was obtained, tuned by expert musicians, broken with a sledge, then repaired and re tuned, by the same musical experts, who re ported that the original tone of the bell had been restored. After due de liberation that committee In custody of the bell reported back to Mr. Dufur. the Oregon Centennial Commissioner who represented Mr. KIgga, that the evidence the Inventor could do all he claimed In mending the Liberty Bell without harming It in the least deitree was most conclusive; but to the mind of the committee as a whole It was "believed that In the breaking of the bell Its mission was ended so tar as Its sound was concerned, and therefore it should remain mute for all time to come."
