Gordon, the last of the great confederate
commanders, died Saturday night at 10
o'clock. He had been growing weaker
all day. He was delirious in his last mo-
ments and talked of the Appomattcx
campaign. Gen. Gordon had been in poor
health for some time, but his ailment
became acute few days ago.
His Career.
He was born in Georgia in 1882, and
educated at the University of Georgia.
Before the war he practiced law, and in
1861 entered the confederate army as
captain of infantry. He rose through the
various grades, and in 1863 was major

Ex-GOv. Brown Dead.

Henderson, KY, Jan. 12.-Former
Gov. John Young Brown died here Mon
day at an advanced age. He waspromi-
nent as statesman and soldier and dis
tinguished as a citizen. In 1875 while
congressman, he became widely known
through denunciation of Gen. Benja-
min F. Butler, who as military governor
of New Orleans was distasteful to the
southern people. For this speech Gov.
Brown received a vote of censure, but
the~next congress expunged it from the
records. He was one of the first men
TO take stand against the merger Of
competing railroads. He remained a
democrat until William Goebel was
named for governor, when he was nom
mated as an independent democrat can
didate to oppose him.

general and corps commander. When
he army of Lee surrendered at Appomat-
tox, Gen. Gordon was in command of the
Second army corps. During hostilities
he was wounded eight times, and bore on
his face an ugly scar made by a union
mimic ball. After the war he took
prominent place among the progressive
men of the south, and in 1868 ran as
democrat for governor of Georgia. In
1868 and in 1872 he was delegate to the
democratic national convention, and in
both years was presidential elector.
In 1872 he was elected to the United
States senate and soon took rank as one
of the most brilliant orators of that
body. He was elected to succeed himself,
but resigned before his term had expired,
so that he could give more attention to
his private affairs. In 1886, and again in
1888, he was elected governor of Georgia,
and in 1890 was again chosen as Unit
ed States senator.
The Funeral Exercises.
Atlanta, Ca, Jan. 12-Funeral exer-
cises, which will be participated in by
distinguished men of the south, will be
held over the remains of Gen. John B.
Gordon on next Thursday, this city.
The exercises, which will be of eulogis-
tic character, will be conducted in the
house of representatives in the state
house in this city.
Under the escort of Florida troops and
in the private car of Henry M. Flagler
Gen. Gordon's body will leave Miami
Tuesday morning. At the state line an
escort from the Georgia militia will
meet the party.
A proclamation was issued Monday
by Gov. Terrell ordering that the day of
the funeral be observed throughout the
state. The flag over the state house
was placed at half-mast Monday and
flags were lowered in many buildings
