BUTLER'S TRIBUTE
TO HAMPTON.
SKETCH OF HIS
LIFE AND SERVICES.

AS a Cavalry Leader and as -
Statesman Without Fear and
Without Reproach.
The tribute of Gen. Nj. G. Butler to
his friend and commander, Gen. Wade
Hampton, which was read before the
convention of Confederate veterans on
Thursday, is given herewith
Comrades and Friends:
1t is eminently proper and appro-
pirate that we should suspend the cere-
monies usual at our reunions and ded-
icate a few hours to paying homage
and respect TO the memory of our most
distinguished comrade-General Wade
Hampton, who has died since our last
meeting.
He was literally, and in the fullest
sense, my immediate comrade, as he
was of many of you here today. With
the exception of brief int ervals, when
he was in command of an infantry
brigade, or we were absent from the
army disabled by wounds or sickness,
we were in the same command from
the beginning to the end of the war.
General Hampton began his military
career IN the Confederate army as
colonel Of the Hampton Legion, an
organization made up largely by him
or through his influence. He CON-
tributed freely from his own private
means to it's equipment and prepare.
tion for service in the field.
The Legion was composed of eight
companies Of infantry, four troops of
cavalry, and a battery of horse
artillery, afterwards increased to
two. 1t was kept together until
the summer of 1862, when, as a
Legion, 1t was broken up. The i'll
fantry retained the name. The cavalry
by the addition Of six troops was in
creased to regiment known as the
Second South Carolina cavalry. The
First brigade of cavalry of the army
of Northern Virginia was composed of
the First and Second South Carolina
and the First North Carolina. The
Cobb Legion cavalry, the Phillips and
jeff Davis Legions of cavalry and
Hart's battery. Pending the organ
ization and getting together of this
brigade, General Hampton was put in
command of brigade Of infantry.
After tho organization of the first
cavalry brigade, General Hampton was
assigned to it's command III the latter
part of tho summer of 1862.
He remained in command Of this
brigade until the 9th of June, 1868,
when he was promoted to major gen.
eral and assigned to the command Of
the First Cavalry Division composed
Of Buffers, Rosser's and Young'f
brigades, ranking in tho order named
After General Stuart's death from
mortal wound at Yellow Tavern, In
May, 1864, General Hampton became
the ranking major general of cavalry
in the army of Northern Virginia. The
cavalry corps of that army consisted O.
Hampton's, Fitz Lees and VIM. II. Il
Lees divisions.
General Hampton, although th'
ranking major general, was not PLACED
in command of the corps unit
September, 1864, when M. G. Butte
was promoted to major general ant
assigned TO the command of Hampton
division. 1t Is due to the truth O
history TO cay that General Lee
!, from some sinister influence, had no
. duly appreciated General Hampton

young woman, walked up beside him
extended her hand and said: "IIer
l am, MIR. Armstrong, will you hay,
me?"
| Col. Armstrong first turned as whit,
as his naturally forid complexion
would permit, then red and finally as
blue as an egg plant.
The audience howled, many press,
ing forward to extend their hands in
congratulation, while tho young lady
looked into his face enjoying his con-
fusion. Col. Armstrong was dcsper-
ate.
The crowd continuing to shout and
applaud with one convulsive effort, he
! reached out and put h,s arm around
her waist, and before she could re-.
lease herself from his grasp, implanted
a kiss on her left cheek. II was then
somebody else's turn to blush.
About two o'clock the line of parade
was formed and marched down Main
street to the park, where a delightful
barbecue was served.
The reunion convention adjourned
sine die at & O'Clock this evening after
a harmonious session of two days.
The election Of officers resulted in the
unanimous choice Of Gen. Thos. w.
Carwile for division commander; Gen.
Zimmerman Davis, first brigade COM
mander; B. II. league, second brigade
commander. In like manner the fol-
lowing veterans were chosen TO serve
on the State pension board VIM. ID.
Startling, of Columbia w. II. Hardin,
of Chester B. M. I.ebby, of Charles
ton.
Resolutions of thanks offered by
Gen. j. w. Moore, of Hampton, to
the citizens of Greenville for their hos
pitality were adopted by rising vote.
The meeting place for next year
was left to Gen Carwile, division COM
mander. Maj. w. M. Fcster, of Spar
tanburg, and w. w. Lumpkin, of Co.
lumbia, made beautiful and entertain
ing speeches just before adjournment,
and the convention united III singing:
" When the roll is called up yonder."
The benediction was pronounced by
Maj. w. M. Foster, and thus was end
ed one of the most delightful sessions
yet held by the veterans.

TOOK WIFE FOR BURGLAR
Ira D. Davis Shoots His Wife Per-
haps Fatally.
BULLET PASSED THROUGH HER BODY
She Was Removed TO the Houston In
Urinary and at Late Hour There
Was Small Hope OF Recovery.

At about half past eleven o'clock last
night Ira d. Davis, residing at 2llo Dallas
avenue. was partially awakened by the
noise made by his wife IN moving about
the room. In his half asleep condition he
imagined she was a burglar and took his
pistol from under his pillow and Hred in the
direction OF the sounds which had awak-
eued him.
The room was dark and he was not able
to see any object In the inky blackness.
The scream and moan which his wife ut
tered as she sank unconscious TO the Hoor
informed him Of his horrible mistake.
AS soon as a light could be procured he
discovered his wife lying in pool of blood
upon the floor where she had fallen. with
a gaping wound in her stomach from which
the life current was streaming The bullet
struck near the center Of the abdomen and
passed entirely through her body Aid was
summoned as speedily as possible and the
ambulance Of the Houston lnhrmary with
Dr. Stuart came speedily to the scene.
Everything possible was done to stauch
the flow Of blood and as soon as possible
Mrs Davis was removed to the innrmary,
where she received every possible attention
At o'clock this morning Dr.. Stuart said
that it was very doubtful if she recovered
Mr.. Davis always slept with revolver
under his pillow. He was IN his first s<gld
sleep having retired about an hour pre-
viously. It is supposed that his wife was
restless and sleepless and arose to take the
medicine or sleeping potion to quiet the
nerves She did not awake her husband
or light lamp and in cropping her way
about the dark apartment made sufficient
noise to partially wake Mr. Davis who at
once thought some intruder was moving
about the room.
The young couple lived very happily to-.
ge;her and had only been married about a
year. Mr. Davis is bookkeeper for q.

CHICAGO STRIKERS LOSE
The FREIGHT HANDLERS UNION
THROWS UP THE SPONGE.
President Curran Stated that He Agreed
to the Terms Because His Men
Had Weakened.

Chicago, July 9,--The strike of the
freight handlers is virtually settled. Meet
lngs Of the strikers win be held tomorrow
TO ratify the action taken tonight, accord
Ing to President Curran Of the order, but
as he stated tonight after conference
with the general managers Of the rail-
roads that he had agreed 10 their terms
because the majority of his men we're go
Ing back on him" there Is little doubt that
the terms Will be accepted by the mass
meeting Of the strikers tomorrow
By the terms Of the settlement the strik-
ers accept the schedule of wages offered
them by the railroads July l. rms
schedule was emphatically refused by the
strikers at the time 1t was made 1t
offered an average increase OF 20 per cent
for all classes Of labor connected with the
freight handlers union. The demands of
the men would have made an average in
crease OF about 80 per cent. The rail
roads at the time OF Offering the increase
on July said that under no circumstances
would they recognize the union Of the
freight handlers 10 the extent OF allowing
the officers of the organization to max
the railroads by which they were en-
ployed. This was one of the chief reasons
for the strike, the men insisting that the
union should he fully recognized.
The railroads have won a complete vic
tory. on this point. The attitude Of the
roads toward the freight handlers union
Is the same as that maintained toward all
local examinations Of railroad men The
freight handlers demanded something that
no other organization of railroad employees
in Chicago has asked and the managers an
nounced that under no circumstances would
they agree to this.
