General HickenIooper.

Gen Andrew Hiekenleoper was one
of the noted artillery officers of the
civil war. Unlike Hunt, Webster,
Mendenhall. and others who made
fine records In the artillery service,
Hickenlooper came into service from
civil life and without military educa-
ton or training. He had had six
years experience In the work of a
civil engineer when the war came,
and mainly because of this experience
was made captain of the Fifth Ohio
battery in August, 1861.
He went at once into active SER
vice and in the course of year was
appointed chief of artillery of the Sew
enteenth corps of the Army of the
Tennessee and later chief of the artil-
lery of the Army Of the Tennessee.
Still later he commanded brigade In
Sherman's army and was with 1t In
the march to the sea and in the
march through the Carolinas.
General John ID. Webster, Grants
chief of STAFF and chief of artillery at
Shiloh, was twenty-six years older
than Hickenlooper and came into the
army with sixteen years service in
the regular army to his credit AT
Shiloh he concentrated his batteries
in the afternoon of the first days

Pittsburg Landing and successfully
beat off the enemy.
Major John Mendenhall, who was

war was artillery used more effective

THE Confederate loss at Gettys

10000 In the two days Battle of the

and the Confederatcs IL 1000. In the
first big battle of the rebellion, Bull
Run. the Federal loss was over $4,000
and the Confederate loss was esti.
mated at over 5000.

battles OF other times were deluges

Veterans Heartily Welcomed.


Three remarkable gatherings OF
ford, Conn, amid scenes of patriotic
enthusiasm that scarcely have been
equaled In Connecticut since the re-
turn of many of these same men from
the battle fields of the south. OF the
assembled bodies the most distinctive
was that of the Society of the Army
of the Potomac, which met In annual
reunion and convention at the state
capitol. and over which Maj. Gen.
R. Brooke, U. S. A., presided. The
chief figures in this group OF gray
haired men were a score or more of
famous general and field officers of
the Army of the Potomac, who here
met, for the first time in great
many instances, men who fought In
the ranks of their commands.
In another hall not far distant the
department encampment of the G. A.
r. was held, with Department Com
mander Morgan G. Bulkeley presiding
1t was the best attended meeting of
this kind in years, by reason of the
desire of the Connecticut men to give
to the Potomac veterans a hearty
welcome
While the gatherings were held sep
arately for the transaction of bust
ness, the comrades fraternized
throughout the day and finally met In
a general campfire at Parsons theater
at night, at which the scene was in.
tensely interesting. The welcome of
the state was given by Governor abb
ram Chamberlain. Maj.-Gen. Brooke
responding in behalf of the Army of
the Potomac. Many other addresses
were made, the Grafton being by MAJ
Gen. Nelson NJ. Curtis. One of the
features of the campfire was the sing
ing of war songs. and an incident was
the presentation to Department Com
mander Bulkeley of loving cup.
During the sessions of the two
bodies new officers were chosen, Gen.
Horatio G. King. for twenty-five years
its secretary, being chosen president
of the Army of the Potomac, and w.
C. Hillard, of New Britain, being
made department commander of the
G. A. r.
In honor of this occasion the city
was fairly ablaze with light, more
than 10000 electric lights having been
worked into the general decorative
scheme on the streets and prominent
buildings.
