When George e. Golden babe farewell
to his mountain home in Maryland, q
few weeks ago, and marched away to
the war, he did not think that the seal
of death would be set upon his brow
long before he was called upon to meet
the foe. But so it was, for on Sunday,
While the shadows of evening We're
gathering over land and sea his body

marching to solemn funeral music by
the post band. accompanied his re-
mains to the Washington steamer.
The scene was a sad one. Company
c. of which the deceased was u mem
Der, marched Immediately behind the
hearse. Then came nearly every SOL
der in the Fourth regiment Maryland
Volunteers. At the dock, where the
steamer was waiting. dozen armed
men forced the people back and after
making a passa geway to the gang
plank, formed in line on either side OF
it and waited for the casket to be borne
past. The mourner-there was but one
followed. 1t was George Gordon's
father, a man of fifty years, who rode
with bowed head in carriage by him
self. Hundreds of people scanned the
sad face as the vehicle slowly rolled by
and the eyes of more than one were
dimmed by moisture. Some who look
ed upon the old man recalled q parting
scene in this town but little more than
a month ago. and their thoughts flew
to the far away South and We're fixed
upon those as dear to them as this dead
boy was to that sorrow-stricken father
and the weeping mother in her distant
mountain home waiting to look into his
cold, dead face. Would there be such
a bitter home coming of their loved
ones? Heaven forbid.
George Gordon died of meningitis.

regiment reached Fort Monroe. Yes
terday afternoon a story was atloat to
the effect that his comrades had tossed
him in an army blanket. and that by
accident he fell and suffered serious
injury to his spine. This is doubtless
untrue however. AT any rate. it is
strongly denied by members of other
companies. 1t is said that the soldier
who was tossed in the blanket belongs
to Company F. -

THE NELSON DELEGATES.
The District Committee will not meet
until morning TO fix mp their convention
rolls IL is pretty well understood TO-
night that the Glasgow delegates from
Buchanan District In BotetOurt VIII be
placed upon the rolls. and the Flood deli
eeatcs from Nelson will be recognized by
the District Committee. The Nelson con-
test IS the only one IN which there IS any
interest. The Glasgow men from that
county are here I'm great numbers and
say they will push the fight on the ho0r
OF the convention. They admit that II Is
likely that the Flood delegates will be
placed on the temporary rolls, as the
committee s. composed Of four Flood men
and one Glasgow man.
The Quarles stock seems 10 be rising.
He has a host OF admirers from Stanton
and Augusta here wearing badges, and
they are getting in some good work. IL
is probable that several ballots will be
taken before a nomination IS made.

position the convention would take on
the currency question. He stated that
the matter OF the platform had not been
