Interesting Career OF the Late Naval Com
snaer-Encountered u Cyclone at sea
on one Occasion, BUT saved 'Iis ship.
Capt. s. Livingston Breese, United
States Navy, who died at his summer
residence. Sunnyside, Berkley Springs
W. Va, the 18th of last July, had a
most interesting career. He entered the
navy when he was Ia years of age and
served in the Mexican war as very
young officer and all through the Civil
War.
He commanded four receiving ships
and several men-of-war ut sea. His
longest cruise was 3ls years, in COM
mand of the Ossippee, which was con-
nected with the North Atlantic Squad
ron. While in command of this ship
he encountered u terrific cyclone on the
way to New Orleans from Hampton
Roads, but saved his ship in tho same
manner in which the captain of the
English ship saved his boat ut Samoa,
by putting out to sea.
During that cruise he was for three
months on special duty under the Sec
retary Of the Navy, being under secret
orders to bring the notorious Tammany
leader. William Tweed, back TO tho
United States. Tweed having escaped
from Jail and fled from the country.
Tweed was finally discovered and cap
tured. A homeward bound ship hap
pening to be near the place at the
time, Capt. Breese was released from
the duty to which he had been assigned
for so long.
After Capt. Breese's retirement, at
his own request, after 40 years SER
vice, he made his summer home at
Berkiey Springs, where he was honored
and beloved by the community for his
uprighrness and kindness to all.

who had gone from this city as an ennis
sary of the strikers. Ho spent the

iority Of whom decided not to fulfill
their contract with Mr.. Edwards.
When the Endeavor reached Pier A,
North River, the non-union mon were
landed, and as they started up Broad

rooms of tho Press Wheel Club, where
they listened to an address by Presi-
dent Delaney of Typographical Union
No. 6. They were afterwards escorted

Three Wilmington Men Could sot Learn
Where They We're Going aud Seized the
First Opportunity to Come Home.
On Saturday several Wilmington
printers, some members of the Union
and some non-union men, received let
tors telling them to report at Cailow-
hill street wharf, Philadelphia, at
o'clock in the afternoon. They went
to tho Philadelphia wharf and, acting
under instructions of person on the
wharf boarded the steamboat Endeayor,
which soon steamed down the river.
One of the Union men, who was seen
Monday morning, said he made several
efforts, while the boat was proceeding
down the river, to ascertain where he
was going, but was unable to learn
anything that would enlighten him on
this point, and he and two others left
the boat at New Castle, where it
touched, presumably to take on pro.
visions. Ho said one or two agents of
New York Union were on the boat. and
he learned from them that of the party
about 43 were Union men. One of the
New York Union men, who evidently
knew where the men were going. also
left tho boat at New Castle and pro-
ceoded by trolley to Wilmington, where
he boarded train for New York, and
upon his arrival there impaired the
information he had obtained to the
officers of the Union. The Wilmington
men who left the boat at New Castle
were Oscar and Thurston Davis and
Matt b. Yerger. Jr. They would prob
ably have gone to New York had they
not suspected that they would be asked
to work in an office which was not con-
sidered a Union Office

DIR. BATrEN's FAREWELL.


1ransfigaration for Its subject.
Tho Rev. Loring W. Batten, Ph. D.,
preached his farewell sermon as acting
rector OF st. Andrews Protestant Epis-
copal Church Sunday morning. He
had filled that position since the first
of February, although he had supplied
the pulpit of st. Andrews for some
time previously. 1t was with much
regret that the congregation of the
church had learned that DIR. Batten
was to sever his rotations with it in
order to become rector of St. Marks
Church, New York. For his closing
sermon at ST. Andrews. DIR. Batten
chose as his text. st. Mark 8, 2, '.And
after six days Jesus taketh with Him
Peter, and James and John and eadeth
them up into an high mountain apart
by themselves; and He was transfg-
ured before them. The subject of
the sermon was the TRANSPORTATION,
which was commemorated yesterday.
DIR. Batten specified the three classes
with respect to the doctrine of the
divinity of Christ, those who have never
doubted our Lords divinity them
selves, have not even questioned it and
are impatient of questioning in others !;
those calling themselves Christians,
living certainly the lives of Christians,
who do not accept Christ's divinity,
and those who have felt keenly the
great difficulties in the matter.
Speaking of the TRANSPORTATION, DIR.
Bntten said it may have been but q
vision on the mountains; the cloud
which PASSED over may have been but
vapor: but the God imam stood there
in the full grandeur of the white and
glistening garments and the greater
splendor of u white and glistening soul.
Tho preacher said he was glad to
have been permitted for time to labor
in st. Andrews. He goes to labor in
a field which sadly needs laborers. His
last act before leaving Wilmington was
to administer the holy communion TO
two members of the Aged Women's
Home who are seriously i'll. In this he
was assisted by the Rev. E. Arthur
Dodd, Ph. D., assistant at st. An
dew's.
Drs Batten and Dodd were enter
tanned Sunday by the Misses Warner.
DIR. Batten returned Sunday evening to
his cottage at Mt. Pocono, Pa where
he has established summer church.

III This city.
DIR. L. Heisler Ball of Falkland,
State Treasurer, has inaugurated new
system of looking after matters in his
department, having brought tho State
securities from the State House at
Dover and placed them in q safe
deposit box in the vaults of the Equit-
able Guarantee and Trust Co. of this
city.
The securities are exceedingly valp-
able and as the State Treasurer is re-
sponsible for them Treasurer Ball de-
cided that as he resides in the northern
part of the State il would be well to
have the valuables in his care nearer
to him than Dover. For some time
the securities have been kept in the
safe in the State House, but they were
probably not as secure there as they
will be in this city.
