JOHN ?. GORDON DEAD. Commander-lu-Chief of United Confed ?rate Veteran? Died Saturday Night. Miami, Florida, January 0, 1004. General John il. ?onlun died at hie winter homo at Biscayne, at 10.05 o'clock tonight, after being unconscious nearly all day. Tho beginning of thc end occurred thia afternoon, serious complication setting in, and by night his physician had abandoned ali hope, as his kidneys refused to secrete and ni runic poison waa very decided. Ilia death was quiet. He fell peacefully to sleep and all was over. Gen. Gordon became ill Wednesday afternoon with acute indigestion. Ho had suffered from the aaine trouble in Mississippi 'many months ngu. At ll o'clock Thursday morning a consulta tion of physicians was held and it was found that he was seriously and criti cally ill. His son, Major Hugh Gordon, who resides nt Biscayne, was with hist. A telegram was sent to his daughter, Mrs. Burton Smith, of At lanta, culling her to his bedside. She was with him when ho died. General Gordon grew steadily worse until to day, when ho was unconscious most of tho time. Gen. and Mrs. Gordon had been iu Florida this winter only three weeks before iii? death. His health had been unusually good prior to his fatal attack. Ile had bought a winter home at Biscayne three years ago, aud had Binco been spending a portiou of his winters there. Gen. Gordon's body will bo shipped to his homo at Kirkwood, near Atlanta, Ga., tomorrow night, leaving here at 8 o'clock. They will reach Atlanta Monday afternoon. Gen. John Brown Gordon was born in Upsom County, Georgia, February 0,1882. He was educated at the Uni versity of Georgia, studied law and was admitted to tho Bar, but had prac ticed only a short time when ho encor ed the Confederate Army. He raised a Regiment of Cavalry for the Confed erate nur vico, but as that branch of the military force was not then required be organized a body of Infantry, otter ed it to the Governor of kia State, and went into the field with his troops, wbo received the nickname of "Rac coon Roughs," all the men having beon raised on the Raccoon Mountain. In 1803 Gordon, as Colonel, led his men into tho faniona battle of the Sev en Pines, during which two-thirds of his command were either killed or wounded. When Gen, Rodes waa wounded he relinquished his Brigade to Gordon. The battles before Rich-: mond and at Malvern Hill followed, and thu gallantry of Gordon's Brigndo was conspicuous in each. During Lee's march into Maryland Gordon was tho first to cross tho Po tomac and for his coolness, bravery and skill was highly complimented by Gens. Rodes aud Hill. He also achieved great distinction at Sharps burg, where his Regiment occupied tho salieut in the Confederate line. He was wounded five times during the engpgement, and but for the heroic attention of his wife would have died. In speaking of this battle Gen. Hill called Gordon the Chevalier Bayard of the army, a character given the la mented Kearney on the Federal side. Upon recovering Gordon was made a Brigadier General and invested with the command of the Georgia Brigade. A month later he was in command at Marye's Hill, iu trout of Fredericks burg, where he captured tho heights by a brilliant charge. * In 1864 he won his richest laurels on thu stormy lines of tho Rapid nu. Tho Confederate troops had been obliged to retreat after u long engagement, Gordon saw the condition of affairs and, suddenly turning his mon, he charged upon the Federal troops, broke their Hue and captured an en tire Regiment. Immediately after entering York, Pa., he met a largo body of excited women and made them as gallant a speech ns was ever spoken by a con queror, concluding with the assurance: "I pledge you that not one private dwelling will be burned or robbed. So well do 1 know these men, I can safely promise the head of any one of them who insults a lady." In 1807 Gen. Gordon wns the Demo cratic candidate for Governor of Geor gia. His party claimed his election by a large majority, but his opponent, Rufus B. Bullock, was declared elect ed. He was a member of tho National Democratic Convention of 1808 from Georgia, and a delegate at large to tho Convention of 1872. He was elected to the United States Senate in that year, and took his seat in March following, succeeding Joshua Hill. Republican. - His noble, untiring and successful efforts in behalf of South Carolina during the great campaign of 1878 and the momentous months that followed can never be forgotten . here. In that tremendous crisis, quitting bis home and laying aside all other duties. Gen. Gordon came to Columbia, and remain ed there, working with Hampton and our leaders until tho Palmetto State was redeemed. Ho was re-elected United States Senator in 1870. but resigned his seat in R!80. In 1880 he was elected Gov ernor of Georgia. Since his retirement from political activity he has devoted much of his time in lecturing, presenting to the North, ns well as the South, his lecture upon "The Last Days cf the Confeder acy." Since the organization of the United Con federate Veterans he hns held the position of its Commander-in-Chief and his frequent re-elections to that position ha ro testified to his warmth of affection in which ho has been hold in the South. Only a few months ago his most en tertaining and instructive book of re miniscences of the War for Southern Independence was published. It has received very favorable notices from critics ia all sections of the Union. Gen. Gordon was a speaker of great eloquonoo and was physically and men tally distingue. Of splendid physique, intellectual forehead and a strikingly handsome Mee, only slightly marred by a scar upon one cheek, caused by a wound received in battle, he wonld nave been selected from among a thousand of his fellows as head and shoulder? tall er thun all the rest.-New? & Courier, - Out of sufToriug have emerged the strongest Boals; the most massive oharaotera are st amt d with seats. il Has Chanced Base ou account of Needing IVTore Koom FOR OUR Growing Business!
