A NAN WITH HlsToRY,
hOre About His Death at Tampa,
Was q Friend Of President Davis,
and Commanded Confederate
Naval Vessel.

A Tampa Bureau correspondent in
the Times Union, December 9Th, says :
In yesterdays Times Union appeared
a brief dispatch from Tampa announc-
ing the death OF Captain John {. Brain,
a Confederate veteran, who attained a
brilliant reputation during the civil war
while serving in the Confederate States
navy. He had the distinction of being
the last prisoner released from fede-
raj prison after the civil war. 'l 'u-
The first vessel under command Of
Captain Brain during the war was the
Chesapeake. When % years of age,
Captain Brain, with nineteen other
daring spirits, took this vessel from
New York's immense and strongly for
tilted harbOr and presented il to the
Confederacy. Later on he commanded
the Roanake and the st. Mary, blowing
up the latter vessel off Port Antonio,
on the north side Of jamaica, when in
formed that General Lee had surrend-
cred. Following this he went to Eng
land, and upon returning q year later
was arrested at the instigation of Gid
con Wells, then Secretary of the Navy,
and had the honor Of being the last
prisoner of the civil war released, the
signing Of his release papers on March
/. 1869, being the last official act of
President Andrew johnson.
The funeral took place this morning
from the Emergency Hospital, where
he died, and the interment was in |
Woodlawn Cemetery, under direction of |
Camp Loring, United Confederate Vet
Grams, of this city.
Captain Brain had been here for some
months, soliciting subscriptions 20 the
stock Of a Mexican mining company,
and few weeks ago suffered a severe
stroke of paralysis, which incapacitated
him, and since that time he had been
cared for by the local camp of United
Veterans.
Captain Brain was an intimate friend
Of Jefferson Davis, and had written
many interesting "reminiscences con-
corning the Confederate President and
his wife. The deceased was 20 years of
age at the time Of his death. He was
= native Of England, having come from
that country IN the early SOS. He

months ago,

in the house, and he was afraid of rob-
berry, Mr.. Gay advised him to put it in
bank but she DECLINED The man re-

his surprise, $500 in old, faded FIVE,

MEMORIAL.

At regular meeting of Jackson
Ledge, No. /, F. & A. M, the commit
tee appointed to prepare resolutions
upon the death of Major Robert Gam
BILE, submitted the following memorial,
which was read and Unanimously
adopted:
On October 10, 1906, our beloved and
venerable brother, Robert Gamble,
passed from this life through the por-
tails that lead to bliss eternal Born
December Is, 1913, in Richmond, Va,
he came with his father to Florida when
he was a lad of fourteen, and so his
life has been coeval with the century
which has been so prolific of history for
this nation, State and city, and was
spent almost entirely within the bor-
ders Of the State of his adoption.
After reaching Florida he first engaged
in planting near Tallahassee, where he
grew up to manhood. In 1912 he re-
moved to Manatee county and estab-
lished sugar plantation. Having dis
posed of his property in 1858 he re-
turned to Tallahassee, where he spent
the remainder of his days.
During his long life Major Gamble
filed Offices of trust, and always dis
charged the duties pertaining to them
with strict fidelity and eminent eff
cheney. He served in the Indian wars
with bravery and ability, and con-
tributed no little to the success that
attended our arms in those trying
times I.
He was a devoted member of the
Presbyterian Church, of which he was
useful and active elder for nearly fifty
years. i
He was in 1852 a member Of Hilsbor-
ough Lodge No. rs, F. & A. NJ, was
Identified to Manatee Lodge No. 81 in
1883, and on August |, 1887, was re-
ceived on demit by Jackson Lodge No.
1, of which he became member emeri-
tus He was an enthusiastic Mason,
and was thoroughly imbued with those
noble principles upon which the Order
is founded. and eXemplified them in his
daily life and conduct.
Those of US whose privilege il has
been TO know him, will ever remember
his loved form, his friendly counten-
ance, his twinkling eyes, his kindly
smile and voice, and that courtesy of
manaer that distinguishes the true gem
tleman. With the guilelessness of a !
child he combined the eaTnestness and
grandeur of noble manhood, and has |
left US that richest of legacies. the |
memory OF good name and the inner |
itance of a good example.
Resolved, That we deeply lament the |
loss of our venerable brother, Robert |
and tender our heartfelt sym
patty TO the bereaved family.
Resolved, That page Of our Records |
be dedicated 70 the memory of our de- |
ceased brother by the Inscription of /

STOCK COMPANY @

Organised with Capital to Bald
3 Steamer % Pat On SOpchOPpV
and OcnlOcknae Rivers.

! A SopchOppy correspondence of De-
cember 9th to the Carrabelle Adver-
tiser gives the following news,
The merchants and business men met
at the town council chambers last night
and decided to forma stock company
with sufficient capital to build or pur-
chase a suitable steamer to ply the
Sopchoppy, Ocklocknee and Crooked
rivers, connecting with the Apalachi-
cola river steamers at Apalachicola,
steamer Tarpon at Carrabelle and Sea-
board Air Line at st. Marks.
Sixty per cent of the stock was sold
in the hall, ard some Of the turpentine
and saw mill men were not present.
There will be another meeting Friday
night of this week 70 sign letters OF
agreement for the incorporation of the
Sopchoppy Navigation Company.
II seems that the business men here
are very much wrought up over the
action of the G.. F. 3 A. railway in
seve1ng their connection with the PEN

TO accept any freight from Tarpon
for G. F. q A. points, or to allow them
to put freight in the G. +. & A. ware
been enjoying very good trade from
Mobile and Pensacola via Tarpon.
The merchants are quite sure they
can secure good service by owning their
own steamer. Have her to meet the
Tarpon at Carrabelle, come through
Crooked river (transfer freight at Nc
Intyre on barge until draw is COM
pleted) down Ocklocknee river, up Sop
choppy river to the town of Sopchocpy, |
making about a sixty-fve mile run.
The G. F. & A. will have to put in |
two draws, one at Mcintyre and the |
other over Sopchoppy river.
This line OF steamers will mean much |
for Sopchoppy and vicinity, as there
will be shipped from here thousands of |
barrels Of naval stores that have been
going to Ashmore and Arran. The
cheap freight rate securing the bust
ness.
Tallahassee and Quincy will also
profit by this line, as it will connect
with the Tarpon, take the freight to
st. Mar ks, turning II over to the s. A.
l.. for these points.
Apalachlcola will also profit by this
line, as the wholesale grocery houses in
Apalackicola can ship here at cheap
rate. The goods only passing over one
line
Tallahassee wholesale houses can also
come IN for their share of the trade
along the line, which will amount to
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
A large warehouse is to be built at
The foot Of Rose street, and an agency
Soliciting and general
freight agents will be hustling for

lays. ,,e

were wrapped up together.
Mayor Gilmore, Chief LangstOn and
Officer Gray are 10 be congratulated on
the results of their work, as they had

The past year has been very pros
porous, one, and we have much to be

fol for it is being choked. beaten,
Kicked, stamped, etc. This is the class
known as lunatics, confined in our asy-'
ums, which should be places of comfort,
but those that are confined there once
would rather go to hades than go back
TO the asylum. if they were so very
fortunate as to get out. Ask most any
one that has ever been consigned in any
asylum, Florida s is no worse than those
in other States.
