took place with imposing military GER
emonies on the 18th inst The body lay
in state at the armory of the Chatham
artillery, of which Captain Wheaton
had been commander, and numerous
and elegant floral offerings attested the
esteem in which he was held, while
crowds of friends passed before the cof-
fin. The funeral was attended by the
First regiment Of Georgia Volunteers,
the Chatham artillery, the Georgia
Hussars, the Confederate Veteran as
ISOLATION, the Camp of Veterans, with
many other organizations, military and
civic, which appeared in the procession
from the armory to the st. John s
church, where the services were held.
The coffin was borne upon caisson
draped in black and drawn by four
black horses. Upon it were placed the
dead officers plumed hat and his saber,
and he was buried in the uniform of

SAFE FROM ATTACK.
Stonington Gun Will Probably Have a
Garrison Soon.

IdIIlSOl oOOI.
The 10-inch Rodman gun is now in
position on top of the west breakwater
at Stonington. 1t points to sea, but
who is to man 1t and how constant
the duties of the garrison are to be
is not yet revealed. Probably the de-
tachment from battery B to Papatree
Point will have charge of the gun. The
breakwater would be ticklish place
for garrison in time of actual service.
1t is surrounded by water, and the
channel between it and the nearest
land, Wamphassett Point is swift and
deep. Down in Stonington they call at
tention to the fact that good general
always looks out for his retreat, and
they want to know how anybody on
the breakwater would get ashore if
pressed hard by Spanish gunboat or
torpedo craft. 1t would be danger
Gus to make voyage to the mainland
in an open boat with the enemy close
at hand.
The gun is formidable enough to
sink one of the smaller Spanish vessel
if it came inside Fishers Island, pro-
vided the gunner shot straight. But
there are some doubts expressed about
the practical advantage that is likely
to accrue from this lone sentinel of the
sound.-NeW London Day.
