FIRST UNION DEFENDER

Vermont soldiers as well as veterans
everywhere will mourn the death of Gen.
Abner Doubleday, U. S. A., who died at
his hOme in Mendham, n j., Jan. 26th.
The funeral was held Sunday afternoon
in st. Marks church, the remains were
sent to New York Monday and were in
tered in Arlington Cemetery Wednes-
day. On Tuesday a large number of
people viewed the remains as they Law in
state in city hall. We take the following
brief sketch of his life from the Tribune:
General Doubleday was born at Balls
ton Spa, N. Y, on June 16, 1910. Gen.
Doubleday became cadet at the Mill
tary Academy on Sept. /, 1888, and was
graduated on July /, 1912, and was as
signed to the Sd Artillery as a brevet
second lieutenant. In his class were
Generals John Newton, Rosecrans, Pope
and Hardie. In 1S45 he became a second
lieutenant and was transferred to the 1st
Artillery. He took part in the military
occupation Of Texas in IS45-46 and served
through the Mexican War. He became
first lieutenant in 1S47, and in 1855 a
captain, serving meanwhile on garrison
duty at various places. He served in
Florida during the hostilities with the
DSinIhOio lnuldnb klOOO-OoI. he was sec
ond in command at Fort Sumter at the
time of its first bombardment, and sight
ed and fired the first gnn in its defence.
On May IA, 1861. he was appointed ma
Jor of the 18th Infantry. He was with
General Patterson in the Shenandoah
Valley in 1851, and was then made brig
adier-general of volunteers and com
manded brigade on the Rappahannock
and in the Northern Virginia campaign
from May until September, 1862, includ-
ing the second battle of Bull Run. In
the battle of Ahtietam his division held
the extreme right and opened the battle,
losing heavily but capturing six stand
ards. On November 20, 1862, he was
made major-general Of volunteers. Gen.
Doubleday was at Charlottesville, and |
succeeded Gen. John f. Reynolds as
chief of the First Corps when that officer !

The funeral of Ex-SecretaIy Blaine
was held Monday in Washington. The
services were private or by invitation,
and the assembly was composed of the
Pre- ident, his Cabinet representatives
of foreign governments, U. 5. court off
cials, ETC., besides large company of
family friends. These occupied nearly
all the available sittings in the Church of
the Covenant, where the public services
were held following prayers at the house.
The dead statesman had such hold
upon the afrrctIuus uf the people ulIIJ
the streets were thronged, and everyone
barred their heads as the remains passed.
On our sixth page we give as extended
an epitome of Secretary Blaine's life as
our space will admit. The messages of
coincidence to Mrs. Blaine gives an idea
of the estimation in which he was held
by men of all political parties. Presi-
dent-elect Cleveland's message was
among the first to arrive, an said: "His
brilliant craftsmanship will always be an
aspiration to the nation he has served so
long and so well. Permit me to extend
my sympathy on the death of your dis
tinguished husband" Unable to attend
the funeral Mr.. Cleveland fastened to
pay this fina tribute to the worth of his
political opponent and competitor in the
Presidential race of 1884. BY such acts
the President-elect shows the courtesy
and breadth of his nature the refusal to
attend the Worlds fair dedication be-
cause President Harrison was confined
at home watching beside the death bed
ST his wife, the attendance at the grave
of ex.President Hayes, his personal
friend, etc. Blaine is at rest. Nature at
his bier furnished its tribute of beauti-
ful flowers. Art caused the air to pulse
with most exquisite music. The nation
surrounded the bier with the personal
presence of its s'most distinguished lead
ers in eyery avenue of honored activity.
More sacred than all, the mingled sor-
row and hope of immediate kin followed
the coffin until the last words, Earth to
earth, dust to dust ashes to ashes,n had
been spoken. Such was the funeral of
James Gillespie Blaine.

was appointed to the command of the
right wing. On July 1. 1868, he went to
Gettysburg by order of Gen. Reynolds to
reinforce BUfOrd's cavalry, who were
holding the ridge west of the seminary.
When Gen. Reynolds was killed Gen.
Doubleday took his place for some hours,
until Howard's arrival. On that occas-
ion the First Corps captured Archer's
brigade, the greater part of Davis's bri-
gade and almost annIhilated VERSIONS

Doubleday's division, with brigade un-
