DEATH OF GEN. A. S. WE'RE.

Gen. Alexander S. Webb died at his
home at Riverdale, Mass, Feb IL.
Thus passes away one of the most dis
tinsuished examples of the scholar in
action. Gen. Webb was the son of n
prominent soldier and Journalist,
Gen. James Watson Webb, and was
born in Boston Feb. 10. 1885 He grad
iated from West Point in 1853, ana at
once went on active duty against the
Indians. in which he was engaged for
two years when he was detailed to
West Point Us an instructor In Feb
ruary, 1861. he was ordered to form q
battery from the soldiers at West Point,
and was sent to Fort Picleens, which he
helped hold against the Secessionists.
He and his battery were at the First
Bull Run, then he became Assistant
Chief of Artillery of the Army of the
Potomac and later Chief Of Staff of the
Fifth Corps. June %, 1863, he wa
made Brigadier- General of Volunteers.
gade, Seconl Division. Second Germs
This was the famous Philadelphia Rri-
gade. composed Of the 69th. fist, 72d
and 106th Pa. This brigade held the
point against which Pickett laDched
the head Of his charging column, and
the contest for the possession of the
stone wall was terrific Some of the
enemy succeeded in crossing the wall,
only to be destroyed inside of it. Gen.
Webb was in the thickest Of the fight
ing most of the time with the Color
Guard of the 72d Pa, of whom every
man was either wounded or killed. AT
the most critical moment Gen. Webb
rushed to the right of the 69th Pa. to
direct the fire of that regiment upon
the vital point. and thus came into al
most personal contact with Gen. Arm
listed, who fell as he reached the guns,
while Webb was wounded.
For his gallantry Gen. Webb received
bronze medal from Gen. Meade, a
medal of honor from Congress and a
brevet of Major in the Regular Army
He was promoted to the command of
the Second Division. which he held
during the remainder of the year, and
inflicted a sharp defeat on Hills Corps
at Bristoe Station, where he took six
guns and 1900 prisoners. He distin-
guished himself in the Wilderness and
at SpotsylvaniI, being severely wound
ed in the head May l.. This rendered
him ipsensible for 81 days, and COM
PEELED his absence from the field during
the remainder of the year. He re-
turned, however, early in 1865, as Chief
of Staff for Gen. Meade, and served
until the surrender. He received re-
peated brevets, the highest being Ma
jor- General in the Regular Army. He
was mustered out of the volunteer SER
vice Jan. is, 1866, and returned to his
position at West Point, but on the re-
organization of the army was appoint
ed Lieutensnt-Coloncl of the 44th u. S.
He finally resigned from the army Dec.
3, 1870, having been chosen President
of the College of the City of New York |
He devoted many years to building up
this institution and achieved great sue
cess. The great development of the
colleges usefulness and the magnificent
buildings in which il is housed are
to his able and indefatiga- +
BILE work. Gen. Webb was a mali of
appearance and strongly
impressed all those who saw or spoke
with him.

UNANIMOUSLY RE-ELEcrED.

A telegram from Comrade George Fl.
Stevens. of New York, says that Gen.
George B. Loud was unanimously re-
elected for the sixth consecutive term
as Chairman of the Memorial Commit
tee of New York City. There were AZ
Posts represented. and all were OF one
mind, that he is the most determined
and successful fighter in the country
against the opposition of veterans hold
ing public positions.
The opponents of the Sulloway bill
have made the most of the argument
that the bill is much in excess of what
the Grand Army asked for at the Nation
al Encampment. At the time of holding
the National Encamrment the Payne
Aldrich bill had not yet begun to do it's
good work. and the National finances
were at the lowest ebb. with a working
balance of only S17,000.000 in the
Treasury. This was generally known
to the comrades, and had 3 powerful
influence in modifying their requests
for further legislation. Since then the
Treasury has got in a much more COM
Portable condition, with a possibility of
a surplus of 500. 100000 by July l,
1911. 1t becomes now a question wheth-
or this money shall be given to the
Interests" " hose lobbyists fill the Cap
itol and control the magazines and
great metropolitan papers, or whether
IL shall be returned to the people by
paying debt of justice to the veter-
ans. IL the National Encampment were
in session now there would be an over
whelmine majority, il not unanimous
vote, in favor Of the sulloway bill. The
unanimous Endorsement of the bill all
over the country, as is evidenced by the
Endorsements by the Legislatures of 10
of the leading States, shows this I'M
mistakably.

TayIor's Rocks
 Out Of Business
Had Good Diamond and Fast Players But Field Too Far
 Away
(By Ira Hail.)

The 'origina1' Black Rock team is no more. Manager Bill Taylor an nounces that because of lack of pa- tronage, due to the distance of the grounds from the city, he has can celled all future engagements of the team and has given his players per mission to sign with the other clubs of the city.
 When Taylor started off the season, he looked to have about the best plant in the city. The team was entirely fitted out with new suits, a fine base ball diamond and clubhouse was built in Brewster street, all at Taylor's ex pense. Everything looked smooth, but there was the one drawback, the distance from the crowds. To offset this obstacle, Taylor arranged a nifty State, but still the crowds did not come. As the club itself was falling faster and faster financially, and now that there will be even further oppo- sition with games Sunday at Steeple- chase, Taylor decided it was time to throw up the sponge.
 The announcement of the with drawal of the team will bring about general regret, as it was Taylor's in- tention to give the city, especially the Black Rock district, the best there was. That he has so far succeeded is shown by the number of games played and won by the team.
 The disbandment of the organization will add strength to many of the other local teams as it will cause the play CTS to look about for other fields upon which to perform. Most of them will find places in the City league, which will receive them with open arms. Any of the boys are capable of hold ing down jobs with the City leaguers. There are in the bunch Eddie Reilly, Deacon" Robach, Shorty Larson, Johnny Bond, Jack Lucas. Jack John- son, Joe Cassidy, Bill F9annigan, Ed die Gallagher, ''Dory'' Nichols, Alec F'inlayson, Jack Moran, .'Toots" Slat- tery and Harry Kelly. When that bunch breaks into the City league they will set some of the present regulars scurrying for their jobs.

Knockout Brown
 And Murphy Ready
Will Get Together Tonight in
 Ten Round Clash

When the shadows began to length en at Savfn Rock, Conn.,, yesterday evening it was a gladsome hour for Messrs. 'Chick" Murray, "Dodu" Maher and Adam Brown. for it marked the ending of Knockout" Browns training for his ten-round clash with Tommy Murphy, which is scheduled to be held at the Madison A. C.. New York. tonight. And there was likewise rejoicing among Mur- phys helpers, eparring partners and trainers at Sheepshead Bay, for Thomas has not been sparing in his wallops while preparing for the en- counter with K. O.
 The meeting between Brown and Murphy tonight will be the third clash between the pair. In the first Brown was returned the winner by a very good margin. In the second Murphy was the better by an equal ly big margin. Therefore this battle should be the deciding one.
 Besides the prestige which a vic- tory tonight will bring to the win ner there are many other things to be considered. If Brown succeeds in gaining a decisive victory over Mur- phy Tommy will be relegated to the ranks of the third-raters and Knock out" will jump again to the topmost pinnacle among the light weights and will be in line for contests with Matt Wells. holder of the English titfe, and Ad Wolgast, the worlds cham pion.
