ADMIRAL w0RDEM DEAD.
Famous the World Over from Commanding
Monitor in Fight With Merrimac.

Washington, Oct. 1S.-Admiral John
l.. Worden, retired, died in Wash
ington, Monday. He commanded
the Monitor during it's engage
ment with the Merrimac in Hamp-
ton Roads during the late war. In
1886 he was retired with the full rank
and pay of an admiral, the only in
stance Of the kind. He also received
the thanks of Congress for his gal
lantry in the war. Pneumonia was the
immediate cause of death. He was 80
years of age and up to last Saturday
was in very good health. He was a
native of New York state, born at
Sing Sing, Worcester county.
Admiral Worden rendered valuable SER
vices throughout the war, but the crown
ing achievement of his career was in
Hampton Roades, March 3, 1862. when he
commanded the famous monitor in her
duel with the Confederate ram Merrimac.
This engagement has passed into history
as one of the most wonderful naval bat
ties on record July IL following, Presi-
dent Lincoln approved the joint resolution
of Congress rendering the thanks of that
Worden and to the officers and men of
the Monitor under his command "for the
skill and gallantry exhibited by them in
the late remarkable battle between the
Merrimac."
Later in 1862. upon the recommendation
of the President, q vote of thanks was
passed by Congress to Lieut. Worden,
who had meanwhile. In July Of that year,
been promoted to be a commander. au-
thorlzing his advancement one grade for
highly distinguished conduct in the en-
gagement between the Monitor. and the
Merrimac. e9
His victory was received with great
demonstrations of joy throughout the
United States and in the cities on the
Atlantic coast north of Chesapeake bay
public meetings were held and resolu
lions of gratitude to Lieut.. Worden
passed with great enthusiasm. By his
bravery and self sacrifice he had relieved
that coast of the terrible dread they had
experienced from the stories of the Merri-
mac which it was expected would de-
Vastate the union fleet at Hampton
Roads and then start on a voyage of
destruction up the Atlantic. Admiral
Worden bore his honors simply and with
the modesty that characterized him
through life.
After the war his principal service was
as superintendent of the naval academy.
from 1869 to 1874, and as commander of
the European squadron, from 1874 to 1877.
The last years of his life were spent in
comparative retirement. though he kept
up to the last lively interest in affairs
and was known to public men as an IN
usually safe judge of events.
