turned from visit to his home at
Meridian, Miss. He has been APP
pointed Captain of his company, to
take the place of Capt. 9. w. Scham-
Der, who had resigned, and was

ton is the youngest Captain in his
regiment, being only % years of age.
and during his stay here has made
himself quite popular. The Meridi-
an (Miss.) News, in speaking of him,
says:
"The new captain of Company L is
a general favOrite, not only with
company members, but with every
body who is fortunately acquainted
with him. He has a great big heart
beating in his manly bosom and has
often given up his last cent to some
unfortunate soldier boy in need.
There is not member Of Company
/ who would not die for their gal.
liant young commander, so great is
their love for him. First Lieut.
Gabe Jacobson is also a favorite
with the men as he has always
shown great consideration for their
welfare whenever occasion de,
manded it, and his promotion will
meet with universal approval"
Next Monday, November 20, is
the time Of the expiration of the
furloughs of the absent members of
the Mississippi regiments, and then
we will have soldiers here, sure
enough. Some of the boys have al
ready arrived, and between now and
Monday they will be pouring in on
every train, until the two full regi-
ments are here. Preparations are
being made for tEeir reception at
Camp Hamilton. Among the off
GERS who have arrived the past week
are, Capt. 7. H. Shields, Capt. Shan
non, Lieuts. French, Chatham and

A MINUTE TO MR. BAYARD.
An Impressive Memorial Adopted by tho
Young Mems Democratic Club.

The Young Mems Democratic Club,
at its regular meeting, last night week,
took action on the death of Mr.. Bayard,
who was member of the club. The
following memorial, drafted by COM
mittce comprising Willard Salisbury,
John j. Cassidy, John N. Carswell,
| Charles @. Kurtz and Richard Il.
Mention, was adopted:
1t is with feeling of personal grief
that the members of the Young Men IS
Democratic Club Of Wilmington learn
of the death of our most distinguished
member, the Hon. Thomas F. Bayard.
In this city, which was his home,
he was loved and honored more, if pos
sible, than in the nation, whose
highest place he almost attained by
virtue of merit, honesty and devotion
of those principles of abstract justice
and political rights, which have en-
abled our country to become and re-
main one of the great powers of the
world. Through his efforts, intelli-
| gently directed our country has Just
been able to right a great wrong to the
people of neighboring lands, though of
another race, without the interference
Of selfish nations, which might have
embroiled us in a worldwide war.
His life in high political office was
but public exhibition of his private
fe among us, his own people. In our
| little State he was foremost in uphold
ing and advancing the cause of good
government, and to his efforts may be
attributed the credit of maintaining so
long for our people the blessings of
that honest and economical government
| which he believed and we know can
only be had by following those princi-
pies of political action which he loved.
Taken from us, we deeply mourn his
loss, and as mark of the high esteem
in which he is held among us who
knew him as a neighbor and a fellow
member, it is
Resolved, That in his death this
State has suffered loss that it can i'll
| sustain; that the deceased statesman,
while honored at home in our national
political life, and abroad in the wide
field of the worlds diplomacy, was
above all a true and patriotic son OF
Delaware proud of his State, always
ready to uphold her good name and
honoring her as she did him,a faithful
child of loving mother; that he was
what a true American gentleman, SER
wing his State and country in exalted
| poSibioho ohOuiQ Dc, duu db uOiht
among his friends, simple, kint., gentle
and transformations; that we as club,
often honored by his presence, have
been shown to what high purpose
political aims may be directed, and in
times of active political strife by his
brave and unfaltering example, we have
been encouraged to follow him in seek
ing to uphold our principles, though
bitterly attacked.
No leader of our State ever deserved
more credit, and for his sturdy Della
ware patriotism and pluck we honor
him and grieve his loss.
Resolved, That as mark of our re-
| spect, the national ensign of the club
be draped in mourning, and that such
arrangements for further testifying our
respect for our deceased statesman shall
be made as committee of the club
find appropriate, and that as further
mark Of respect We do now adjourn,

Thomas F. Bayard, Delaware's fore
most citizen. In this forum he early
attained distinction. Most of us now
present entered upon our active duties
in this place after he had gathered the
highest honors it had to offer, and
had departed for wilder fields. He
was scarcely past forty when the
State, recognizing his worth and in
tegrity, honored him with place in
the highest councils Of the Nation.
From thence on, his course, ever to
higher planes, demonstrated that the
State in honoring him, was but honor
ing ITSELF From his service TO-, the

ACTION OF BAYARD LEGION.
A Fitting Testimonial Adopted at Special
Meeting of tho Club.


A special meeting of the Bayard
Legion Democratic Club was held
on Thursday for the purpose of taking
action on the death of Mr.. Bayard.

was cast over the assembly. Col.
William B. Norton president of the
organization, made brief address, in
which he spoke feelingly of Mr..
Bayard, after which the following pre-
sented by a committee consisting of
Thomas B. Brison, Robert III. Taylor,

cratic Club, with profound sorrow, has
learned of the death of the Hon.
Thomas +. Bayard, under whose dis

years upheld the cardinal principles of
Democratic faith and,
Whereas, In the death of Mr.. Bayard
the nation has lost an illustrious
statesman, the State of Delaware the
noblest of her sons, and Democracy q
fearless and uncompromising advocate,
whose highest ambition and dearest
hopes were the promotion of the well
fare of his beloved country, and the
maintenance of the honor of his native
State, and whose brilliant achieve
ments will endure while constitutional
government survives.
Resolved, That while we share the
grief of the American people, now
mourning the death of one of their

more profoundly the loss sustained by
our organization, when we recall our
personal relations with Mr.. Bayard,
his ever-ready response to our calls for

and prudent direction in every

EuIogistic Remarks by William Michael
Byrne and Charles NJ. Curtis.

The New Castle county Republican
executive committee, at its meeting
Thursday afternoon, adopted a minute
as mark of respect to the memory of
Mr.. Bayard. The death of Mr.. Bayard
was brought to the attention of the
committee by William Michael Byrne,
who spoke as follows:
"Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen:
Before proceeding with the business OF
the hour / ask the privilege on behalf
of our party Of placing a wreath of
Republican sympathy on the bier Of
Delaware's distinguished dead; great
alike as jurist, statesman, scholar and
diplomat, Thomas Francis Bayard.''
The remarks were reduced to writing
and offered in the form of resolution,
Mr.. Byrne moving its adoption. Charles
nj. Curtis, in seconding the motion,
said:
"The resolution which has Just been
read seems to me most fitting and
suitable one to be adopted by this
assembly, for it is an expression at
this time of Delawareans of their high
regard of the character and achieve
ments of one of its foremost citizens
who is now deceased, for on such an
occasion and for such purpose party
lines are obliterated. We are not ex-
pressing these sentiments as Republi-
cans, but as Delawareans concerning
deceased citizens of Delaware, and /
heartily second the motion for the
adoption of the resolution. ~

ACTION ON MR. BAYARDs DEArH.



cides to Attend the Funeral
City Council, at its meeting Thursday
evening, by unanimous vote, adopted
the following, which had been offered
by Mr.. Zebley:
Whereas, In the fulness Of years the
Honorable Thomas Francis Bayard has
been gathered to his fathers, his death
having occurred yesterday at the resi-
dence of his daughter, in Massachu-
setts; and,
Whereas, Recognizing in this honor
able gentleman and wise and able
public servant the most distinguished
citizen of our city and State, the
Council of Wilmington, in regular ses-
sion met, deems it fitting and proper to
place upon record the following resolu-
tions:
Resolved, That in the death of Mr..
Bayard this community loses man
who was always cultured gentleman;
a citizen who in many ways showed
broad and liberal public spirit; law
yer who stood pre-eminently at the
head OF his profession; public servant
who served his constituents faithfully
and we'll, and statesman whose name
had become honored throughout the
world.
Resolved, That inheriting, as he did,
an illustrious ancestry he did not rely
upon this for his advancement, but his
success was attained by reason of his
own industry, ability and application.
Having gained an enviable position in
his profession, he was elected United
States Senator from Delaware, where be
served with conspicuous ability and
recognized leadership for nearly 20
years; and being afterwards called to
the responsible position of Secretary of
State under President Cleveland's first
administration, was later appointed as
the first Ambassador to England under
the second Cleveland administration.
In all of the these dignified and re-
sponsible positions he maintained his
honor and the honor of the State and
the community where he had lived
almost from his birth, except when alb
sent on the public business.
Resolved, That we cannot express
our regret at his death, knowing that
for him "to die is gain, and knowing
that his three score and ten years OF
life were full of accomplishments for
his brother men; but, as Representa-
tives OF the city governmental 1t is de-
sired to record the honesty and integ-
rity, the sincerity and patriotism which
marked his life, and which attracted to
him not only the love and esteem of
the community in which he lived, but
also won for him the plaudits of the
world.
Resolved, That.a copy of these reso!
lutions be sent to the family of the de-
ceased and that as mark of respect
The Council and city officers attend the
funeral in body.

Dedham, Mass, Sept. %. Thomas
#. Bayard died at 4.30 O'Clock this
afternoon at Karlstein, the summer
/ residence of his daughter, Mrs. Samuel
ID. Warren, after an illness of six
weeks. His death was without pain.
His wife, his two daughters-Mrs
Warren and Miss Florence Bayard-
and his son, Thomas F. Jr., saw him
draw his last breath. His third
daughter, the Countess Lauenhaupt, is
on her way TO Dedham from abroad.
About the middle of August Mr..
Bayard came here to be the guest of
his daughter. He was sick, but it was
stated that his illness was merely due
to declining years. He steadily grew
weaker, however, and had spells of
semi consciousness and of delirium. A
consultation of physicians was held
August 26th, and they agreed that Mr..
Bayard was suffering from arterio-
sclerosis, and general breaking down,
incident to age. Arterio-sclerosis is
an increase of connective tissue OF the
walls of vital arteries, gradually clos
ing them. Mr.. Bayard suffered pain
to no noticeable degree, and the chief
tendency was to sleep.
During the first few weeks of his i'll
ness Mr.. Bayard was able to sit up,
but as the days passed, he became
gradually weaker, and three weeks ago
he put himself into bed and never
again rose from it, Much of the time
he was in semi-conscious condition,
seldom recognizing any of the family
and at intervals having sinking spells,
accompanied by choking. These left
him always weaker.
Yesterday it became evident that his
death was question of only few
hours. Still he fingered, having a
slight rally during the night, and dur
ing the morning his condition showed
little change. At O'Clock he began
to sink rapidly, and half an hour later
he quietly passed away.
