JAMES GIBBON.

Many deeds of personal daring came to his
notice, but he modestly disclaims credit for
anything beyond that of opening the ball
as above described He saw volunteer
laborer in the fort pick up an unexploded
Confederate bomb and toss it over the wall
into the ditch, where its burning fuse was
extinguished. Another laborer named
Donohue mounted the flagstaff during the
bombardment and untangled the halyard
SO that the flag could be unfurled A shell,
evidently aimed at him as he climbed
struck the base of the staff, but he finished
his work and hoisted the flag to the very
top.
The defense of Sumter was memorialized
by series of medals struck off at the order
of the chamber of commerce of New York
for the officers and soldiers who took part
Gibbon carries one of the medals as SOU
venir of the event. 1t is of bronze, 81
inches in diameter, bearing on one side a
relief of Major Anderson and on the other
an inscription to the Defenders of Fort
Sumter" There are few of the band living
today. Gibbon believes that he is now the
only survivor. Two were killed in the fort,
some lost their lives afterward in the war,
and many have died since, Generals Dou-
bleday, Truman Seymour and S. w. Craw-
ford being among the recent ones. The fol-
lowing is a complete roster of the defenders:
Major Robert Anderson, Captains j. G.
Foster and Abner Doubleday, Leutenants
jeff c. Davis, G. w. Snyder, Truman Sey-
mour, Theodore Talbot, Norman j. Hall,
R K. Mead and S. w. Crawford.

The only private soldier who was honored
with special medal was Mailman Peter
Hart. When the flagstaff was shot in two,
he nailed it to some timbers on top of the
wall and kept the colors afloat. Gibbon
claims that the credit for rehoisting the flag
belonged by right to Lieutenant Norman j.
Hall. G. X. LENNOx.

SUMTER'S FIRST GUN.
PRIVATE JAMES GlBBoN CLAIMS TO
HAVE PULLED THE LANYARD.

K a-
He Wa. In the Gun Squad Of tho Casemate
Under Captain Abner Doubleday and
Was the First to Execute the Order to
Fire.
Every year or two the Confederates fight
the battle over again in the press as to who
pulled the lanyard on that ''shot heard
round the world" And now comes a
claimant for the honor of having touched
off the first Union gun in that memorable
artillery duel. General Abner Doubleday.
who died during the past winter, has usu-
ally been credited with having fired the
first gun from Sumter, he having been ca,
tain of the artillery company which opened
the ball for the Union.
It is matter of official record that Cap
tain Doubleday was ordered to commerce
firing first from his battery. He personally
took charge OF the detachment at the GUNS
trained on the Confederate battery at Cum
ming point Morris island. Naturally, III
the line of his duty as senior, he sighted tie
pieces and may or may not have pulled the
lanyard. Perhaps had he known what was
to come of it he would have taken the priv
ilege, or possibly have rendered it to Major
Anderson, the commandment. On the Con-
federate side there was some theatrical by
play, and the privilege, if such it was, of
sending the first shot at Old Glory passed
around among half dozen civilians and
soldiers before it was taken up.
In Sumter, SO says James Gibbon, 4
veteran now living at Erie, Pa, the usual
routine was observed. and he, as private de-
tailed for the work, pulled the lanyard on
the first piece after Captain Doubleday had
sighted it. Gibbon was soldier in Com
pany E, First United States artillery. He
was No. 3 of the gun squad at gun No. in
the easement. The piece was l2-pounder.
trained upon the Cummings point battery.
Captain Doubleday stood by and gave the
word "Fire!'
Gibbon was born in Ireland and landed
in America in 1851. He was we'll seasoned
veteran of the regulars when the war broke
out. AS member of the gun squad at
Sumter he was tied closely to his piece and
performed only his routine duty that day.

some Of the banks want 10 hire us to
figure interest for them. They say II
will only yield $4,000. The way every.
thing else is figured out, our figures
should be correct. Whatever is under
taken by the city turns out just that
way and the revenues should be esti-
mated accordingly. For instance, the
city's share Of last years street improve
ments was to be 5000. They will be
nearly 100000 by the time the cases
are through the courts. The new city
hall was to cost $4,000. The plans
now talked Of run up To $4,000 and
$50. 900 and who doubts they may not
reach 100000? THE JOURNALS fgur-
log may not be mathemstically correct,

A PATRIOTIC POET.

In the mail of Congressman Ca
ruth, of Kentucky, came a note
from Will S Hays, the popular
song writer. So sure was Hays OF
Clevela nd's election that he APP
piled for an office even before No.
vemher. This is what he wrote a
few days ago:
TO MY FRIEND, HON. ASH CARUTH
Who wrote that he thought l was
an "early bird" applying for po-
sitlon under Cleveland:
Dear Ash, | am an "early bird"
And now, since "Cleve" controls.
I'll not let other birds get worms
and leave me watching holes.
Ibid that once when "Cleve" vent in.
I'll go for all that squirms,
For you and I both know id Well
That there's more birds than worms.
WILL S. HAYS, in C-J.
