OBITUARY.
ADMIRAL woRDEN.

In the death of Admiral Worden who
recently passed away aged rs years, an
other of the grand old patriots who fig
ured so prominently in the late war of
the rebellion has been removed from
earth. He won lasting fame by his skill
full handling of the little Monitor from
the time she left New York harbor until
the dismantled Merrimac slowly steamed

by the rebels. Louis A. Vogt the editor

of the Bonner heard the story of the
famous naval duel from the lips of the
late Admiral and we quote from his
paper.
Admiral Worden died on Monday last
at the advanced age of rs years. He
lived in Morristown several years, with
his daughter Mrs. Perrin Busbee on
Prospect street, and it was our good
fortune to hear the description of the
battle between the Monitor and Mer-
rimac from his own lips. When he left
New York in command of the Monitor
he arose from sick bed and went to sea
living on cod liver oil. The most won
derful thing to our mind in connection
with the battle was the fact that the
guns on the Monitor were of type that
that would have admitted their being
charged with charge sufficient to have
bored the Merrimac through and through
at every shot, but the guns had not been
tested and the old regulation charge for
guns of that weight was used. In ask
ing Admiral Worden if he didn't realize
the guns were superior and would
admit of heavier charge he said, 81
never gave thought to it, as the use of
anything other than the regulation
charge, If any disastrous results came of
it, would be equivalent to an act of
treason,

be attached to a telephone receiver, so that
the other end of the line can be heard dis

His idea is to rent halls or theatres for the
