The death of Captain Gregory Bar
rett, Tenth United States infantry,
which was reported from Santiago last
night by Major General Shafter as hav-
ing occurred on Sunday last, will be re-
ceived here in Wheeling with the keen
est regret by many friends and ac-
quaintances CT the deceased. Captain
Barrett was veteran OF the civil war,
ard since then saw as much active SER
vice in the West as any man of his
rank in the army. For more than thir-
ty years after the war, he led his COM
pany in Indian fights or shared with
it such rests and pleasures as are to
lie found in frontier posts, ard leaves
record which may well be emulated by
the junior officers of the service. He is
a widower, his wife having died some
years ago, but one son survives. Cap
tain Barrett visited Wheeling a num-
Der of times, one occasion being that
Of his appointment, some years ago, to
report upon the condition of the State
National Guard at the encampment at
Gypsy Grove, and again, after the cleo
tiCn of Governor Atkinson, when he
sought the position OF United States
military attache at the headquarters Of
the Safe guard, this because the cap
tain realized that he must soon be re-
tired, had seen much active service.
and felt that he would like to spend his
last few years in the army somewhat
at ease. He did not secure the coveted
appointment, and resumed the command
of his company, and was with his regi-
ment when it was ordered TO Cuba.
Captain Barrett was a gentleman Of the
best type, socially inclined, and whist
player of great merit, as has been al
tested in many Wheeling and suburban
homes.
