Venerable Soldier and Former
Postmaster Called to His
Reward.
DIED ON HIS NATIVE SOIL.
Long Identified With History
and Prosperity of Hop
kinSviIIe.

While the news will not create
surprise, there will be profound and
universal regret over the death
Tuesday afternoon of Maj. John w.
Breathitt He had been near to
death many times during the winter,
but his wonderful constitution caus-
ed him to rally and his useful life
was prolonged until springtime had
clothed the earth with verdure and
flowers.
No man who ever lived in Hopkins.
vile died more lameuted. Almost
all his life was spent here and the
people loved, honored and venerated
him.
John W. Breathitt was a native of
Hopkinsville and was born in the
brick house on the Hopson lot on
Main street, torn down last year. He
was descended from one of the old
and noted families Of Kentucky. He
was a son of Hon. James Breathftt,
Sr., and a nephew of Gov. John
Breathitt, after whom Breathitt
county was named. His father was
born in Virginia and moved first to
Logan County and came to Christian
in 1914. He was married soon after
wards to Miss Elizabeth S. Short by
whom he had three children. a
daughter that died in infancy and
two sons, Peyton S. and John w.
The latter was born Jan. 9, 1926. and
his mother died the following year.
The elder brother grew to manhood
and became physician and after a
few years died in Florida. His father
married again in 1880, Miss Gabriel
lei A. Harvie, of Frankfort, and one
son by this union was drowned after
reaching manhood. The father died
in 1889 and his widow in 1888.
John w. Breathitt was educated
in the early schools of Hopkinsville
until 1889 and after the death of his
father weht to North Bend, O., to
live with his uncle, John C. Short,
completing his education at Kenyon
College. He studied law but was
never admitted to the bar.
In November 1847 he married Miss
Catherine a. Weber, a daughter OF
DR.. A. Weber, of this city. She
died last year. For a time he fol-
lowed farming and engaged in mer-
camille business. Sept. l, 1861, he
entered the Union army as Captain
of Co. A. Third Kentucky Cavalry.
On May %, 1868. he was promoted
to major Of the First Battalion, which
position he held till the close of the
war. He took active part in many
engagements, among them Pitts
burg Landing. Stone River, Lookout
Mountain and Sherman's march to
the sea. In 1874 he was elected
county court clerk of Christian coun-
ty, which position he held for about
20 years. Later he served a term
as county judge of Christian county
In March, 1898, he was appointed
postmaster Of Hopkinsville and filed
the position for nearly IL years. re-
signing about a month before the
expiration of his third term, on sc--
count Of the complete failure of his
health Until few months before

New York, April 16.-0nly faint
hope remains tonight that any of the
1902 passengers and crew who have
been missing since the giant Titanic
sank at 2:20 o'clock Monday morning
have been picked up by trans-Atlan-
tic liners. The 1868 survivors res.
cued from lifeboats by the Cunarder
Carpathia, now on her way to this
city, are the only known saved.
Meager wireless messages that
came to hand last night practically
extinguished hope that some of the
Inflated passengers may have been
picked up at sea by the steamships
Virginian and Partisan of the Allan
line. Both of these steamers sent
word that they had none of the IT.
tanic's survivors on board.
OF the 868 persons rescued by the
Carpathia, the names of 326 passen-
gers had been received by wireless.
The Carpathia evidently was out of
wireless range toward noon, for af.
ter that efforts to reach her were
futile, and score or more of meg
sages from the Cunard company and
other sources were unanswered.
Captain Rostron of the Carpathia,
in his last wireless report to the Cum
ard company. said his vessel was pro-
ceeding slowly through field Of ice
to this port.
President Taft late Tuesday after
noon directed the secretary of the
navy to order the scout cruisers Sa-
lem and Chester to the scene at once
from Hampton Roads to meet the
Carpathia and send in by wireless to
the government a complete list OF
the Titanic's survivors.
The Chester was caught by wire
less about forty miles off the Chesa-
peake capes. and by A o'clock was
steaming northward at twenty knots
an hour. aiming to get as quickly as
possible into touch with steamers
having news bearing on the disaster
Carefully compiling the available
lists, the record Of the named sur
vivors of the disaster stands signifi
cantly thus:
Men ...,,, ....'.'' ..''.s.'''..''. ........ %
women ........"......."'......." ...,Zod
Children .......".."".. ..."........... 1t
Total ........"."...............32e
OF the remaining $40 known sur
vivors, it is estimated that not more
than 100 were seamen, required to
man the boats. This wonld. leave
approximately 440 and in the ordin-
airy proportion Of women and chill
dren in the steerage. where the
passengers in the Titanic's case
numbered ITO. it seems probable
that the greater portion Of these SAC
were women and their little ones.

Rogers declared that the McNamaras
