Joe Gibson. who has lived with him for
thirty years. Joe has charge of the
premises, carries the keys and takes caro-
OF everything in Mr.tTillman's absence.
In speaking Of this man the other day,
the Senator said:
IT do not know whether belong to Joe,
or Joe belongs to me. Anyhow, we have
been together for thirty years, and we
have agreed to live together until one or
both Of us die, and when go away,
If I go first 11now he will shed as

ALFRED5LANDON RIvES.

Colonel A. L. Rlves, whose death at
Castle Hill, his home in Albemarle county,
we announced yesterday morning, came
OF distinguished family and had added
to It's distinction. His father was Will
liam G. Rives. who at ono tnc was United
States minister to France, and in Paris
tho Colonel received In part his profess
sional education in the best military and
engineering school of the Empire. He
was also a graduto Of the Virginia MIL
itary Institute. Upon entering profess
work in connection with the United States
Engineer Corps. He was placed In
charge Of tho construction, Of the Cabin
Johns Bridge, near Washington city, and
when that structure was completed. his
name, along with that Of the Secretary
of War. Jefferson Davis, and the Chief
Engineer, General N1eigs. was carved
upon it. Later on. the war having broken
out, and Davis and R1ves having answered
tho call OF duty from their States. their
names were effaced from the bridge-an
act Of spite and n1eanness that has elic-
tied general condemnation. especially
since the Northern people have cooled
somewhat from that frenzy which pos
sessed them during the war and for some
years afterwards.
Colonel Rives' services in tho Confed-
crate army were Of great value. Many
of tho defenses Of the Peninsula and OF
Richmond and Of the fields Of conflict
were in whole or in part the work Of his
fertile brain and skillfur hands. Tho war
over, the Colonel was for several years
engaged in the railway business here and
further South. and finally. was given
charge Of the Panama Railway. There
no stayed for years, and only quilted,
we believe, when the De Lesseps people
acquired control Of tho railway.
Colonel Rives thought and wrote much
on the subject of the Panama Canal, and
,wo doubt not that his investigations will
prove of value to the government in the
construction of ship canal across that
isthmus. or late he had been employed
In various important enterprises as con-
sulting engineer. His home. as we have
mentioned, was at Castle Hill, which is
the home, too, OF his brilliant daughter.
Amelia Rives, or we would better say,
tho Princess Troubetskoy..t Colonel Rlves'
death will Er-ieve large circle Of friends.
and adds another to the long list Of low
able and loyal Confederates who have
crossed the river to rest, we trust, under
the trees of Paradise.
