THUMB NAIL SKETCHES.
Adjutant General Theodore S.PecU
was born in Burlington, Vt., In 3813.
At the age of 18 ho enlisted in Com
pany F, First Vermont cavalry. He
passed all grades of promotion until
he finally became a captain and assist
ant quartermaster. His medal of honor
was received for gallant conduct at
Newport Barracks, N. C, Feb. 2, 18C4.
On that day the Union troops, com
prising some 750 men with one piece of
artillery, were attacked by the con
federates under General Morton, num
bering over 5,000 men, accompanied by
fourteen pieces of artillery and some
cavalry. Lieutenant Peck had com
mand of the right of the division,
which was nearest the enemy. The left
was the first to reach the Newport
river, and after crossing destroyed the
railroad bridge, leaving the "county"
bridge for the retreat of Peck's com
mand, Lieutenant reck, having In
structions to fire it after crossing.
He was told that there would be
turpentine and tar at hand with which
to set. the bridge afire, and relying on
this ho allowed the enemy to come
up close upon him, making eleven dif
ferent stands before taking to the
bridge. Finally when his men could no
longer hold the enemy In check he or
dered a retreat across the river and
sent men to prepare the bridge for fir
ing. These men returned with the In
foimatloti that there was no tar or
turpentine at the bridge as reported.
To leave tho bridge standing meant the
capture not only of Peck's command
but also of the other wing. Determined
that tfils should not be Lieutenant
Peck set a detachment of men at work
pulling up dry grass and pilling It on
the bridge, he and the remainder of
his command withstanding a furious
onslaught In the meantime. When final
ly tho signal was given that every
thing was ready, the men dashed
across the bridge, applied the torch and
held the enemy In check until it was
consumed. Before a crossing could bo
again built tha Union men were ten
miles down the road.
AFTER THE WAR.
At the close of the war the govern
ment offered Captain" Peck two com
missions but he declined to accept
either. Upon his return home, he was
appointed chief of staff by Governor-

ed above.

A LACKA WANNA BOY.
Captain John C. Delaney, of Har

boy, won his medal for bravery at
Dabney Mills, Va., on Feb. 6, 1865, by
going between tho lines and rescuing
wounded comrades. Captain A. H.
Mitchell, also of Harrlsburg, was dec
orated with the medal for heroic con
duct during the desperate charge when
the rebel lines wero broken at Spott
sylvanla. First Lieutenant James It. Durham,
of Washington, D. C, the quarter
master of the Legion, Is minus Beveral
lingers that he lost In fighting for his
country. He received the medal of
honor for bravery In action on June
11, 1803, during the battle of Winchest
er. Lieutenant Durham was In com
mand of a skirmishing party. They lay
behind a stone wall several hours, not
daring 'to cross It or show their heads
above It, as It was certain death. The
confederates were behind another stone
wall about one hundred yard distant.
Three of company E were killed while
rising In order to get a shot. They
were at last ordered over the wall and
the gallant lieutenant, cheerlnp the
boys on, was the flrst one oyer.
They advanced about thirty yards,
the bullets flying thick and fast on
all sides. They continued to advance,
when the lieutenant was struck In the
right hand and six or seven of his
men were also wounded. Two ad
vanced so far as to surrender, fearing
to retreat. The lieutenant here found

er behind the stone walls and that he
and his men were far In advance of It.
He ordered his men back, taking the
wounded with them. His right hand
and forearm was severely shattered.
The lieutenant participated In eigh

ing himself gallantly, and received a
brevet captain's commission, and a
medal from his own state.

of volunteers in New Jersey under
President Lincoln's flrst call for 76,000
men, and served In the three month's
campaign as ensign of the Third New
Jersey regiment. Ho unfurled the flrst
Union flag on rebel soil, on tho night
of May 24, 1S61, when the army crossed
tho Long Bridge Into Virginia. Re-en-Hstlng
In what became the famous
Ninth New Jersey riflemen, General
Drake served with that command un
til April 13, 1865, In May, 1864, young
Drake, at that time a lieutenant In
command of a company, led the army
of tho James from Bermuda Hundred
to Point of Rocks, and a few days
later he and his company led the ad
vance against Drewry's Bluff, gallant
ly driving the confederates behind their
works. In the terrible onslaught which

were captured, an was at tho tamo
moment General Charles A. Hickman,
a -native of Pennsylvania, who com
manded the brigade.
Lieutenant Drake was confined In
Llbby, Danville, Augusta, Macon, Sa
vannah nnd Charleston, being a host
age In the jail yard In the latter city
under the fire of Union guns. On the
sixth of October, following Captain J.
32. Lewis, Eleventh Connecticut, Harry
II. Todd, Eighth New Jersey; Albert
Grant, Nineteenth Wisconsin, and
Drake, while In transit from Charles
ton to Columbia, sprang from a train
of tnovlnu cars, and after a tramp
through the Carollnas and Eastern

tfnlon lines at Knoxvllle, forty-nine
nays being consumed In the undertak
ing. After the war Captain Drake was
brevettcd brlgoder general and award
ed a medal by congress for distin
guished gallantry from 1861 to 1866
Since tho war General Drake has corn-
commanded itho Veteran Zouaves of
JAMES MILLER,
Tho Present Chaplain of tho Legion of
Honor,
Elizabeth, N. J a command that has
united nearly every state and terri
tory and city In tho United States. In
1886, tho Zouaves made a tour of the
American continent, being absent from
New Jersey over a month, and six
years ago General Drake and his Zou
aves made a taur of the Southern
states, New Orleans being the objec
tive point. General Drnke has been
a newspaper publisher for forty-two
years, and 13 stjll In the harness:
ENTITLED TO FOUR.
One of the most Interesting members
of the Legion Is Major Moses Veale, of
Philadelphia, who Is a member of the
bar of that county and was health offi
cer of the city for a number of years.
He was wounded Ave times during the
war and had two horses shot from un
der him. He won his medal by an act
of bravery at AVauhalchle, Tenn., In
planting cannon which kept the rebels
back and probably saved the lives of a
large number of the fourteen hundred
men In his command. He was wound
ed in the shoulder while planting the
guns but refused to leave the field un
til the engagement was over. This
fight occurred at the foot of Lookout
mountain.
Later durlnjr the war he 'was shot
through the lung at Pine Knob while
In front of the Union lines trying to as
certain the number of the enemy and
the proposed movement. He was sup
posed to be fatally wounded and was
carried to the hospital In the rear of
the lines by ex-Chief of Police Simpson
nnd William Gardner, of the One Hun
dred and Forty-seventh Pennsylvania
volunteers. Major Veale was entitled
to a medal for four different acts of
heroism, but the one at the foot of
Lookout mountain Is the one for which
the distinction was awarded.
AN INTERESTING INCIDENT.
One of the interesting Incidents that
occurred last night at the reception
was the meeting of Patrick H. Doody,
of New York, and Charles Sheridan, of
Wlnton, who served together In the
Irish Legion, but havra not met since
the war, Doody was only a. private,
but he was selected for the hazardous
work of ascertaining the position of the
enemies' line at Cold Harbor on June
7, 1864. He afterwards led the skirmish
ers out and captured tho rebel rifle
pits and wound up the day's work by
sending to his eternal reward a rebel
sharpshooter who was picking off tho
Union skirmishers in tho rifle pits.
Before Petersburg a few days later
his name was read on the roll of hon
or, and later the medal was conferred
upon him by congress.

AMUSING INCIDENTS
IN VON STORCH CASE
Ox'AUornty (Jeneral Palmer and Ex
Judge Harding as. Witnesses.
THEY PROVOKE MUCH UUQ1ITER
1'ormor Whllo n Witness Tells Mnjor
Wnrren to State 111 Objection.
Jndgo Harding Interrupts tho
Proceeding Whllo Ho Ilns n Good
Look nt n Document lto Ilnd.nn
Interest in Lively Wrangling
Among tho Attorneys.
But little headway woo mado In tho
Von Storch ejectment caso yesterday
owing to the almost constant wrangling
over technicalities among the ten at
torneys engaged In tho caBe.
Tho first witness called was A. B.
Dunning, Jr., -who identified a map of
the promises In dispute. The defendant
at this Juncture made a demand for
a certain sheriff's deed of transfer from
the plaintiff's' attorneys. -Tho latter
denied all knowledgo of any such In
strument. The defendant's attorneys
thereupon asked for an attachment to
bring the plaintiff, William Von Storch,
Into court, but when Dr. J. K. Bentley
took the stand and testified that Mr.
Von Storch was too 111 to leave his
bed, Judgo Archbald declined to Issue
the attachment. Permission, however,
was given to tako the sick man's testi
mony at his home.
Ex-Judge Garrlck M. Harding, of
Wllkea-Barre, was on the stand all
afternoon, nnd will be called again this
morning for cross-examination. Judge
Harding was tho law partner of Henry
M. Fuller, who It will be remembered
from yesterday's story, was mixed up
In nearly all the legal transactions con
cerning the estate.
It was proposed to show by Judgo
Harding that when Attorney Puller
purchased tho property In dispute at
sheriff's sale he was acting for Ferdin
and Von Storch; that he held tho
property In trust for Ferdinand, and
consequently a title derived from him
is not regular.
DATES ELUDED HIM.
The venerable judge had the wholo
story of the case at hl Angers' ends,
but at is reaches back half a century
he could not remember dates or places
and as the law requires that oral tes
timony of an agreement shall bo iden
tified aa to time, nnd place, little cf
the Judge's story could be adduced.
Judge Jessup tried in every way
known to cunning examiners to draw
out what his side wanted Judge Hard
ing to tell, but at almost every step
he was blocked toy an objection from
Major Warren and Mr. Farnham, and
as a consequence, the witness threw
little If any light on the case.
Judge Harding frankly admitted that
it was impossible for him to tell In a
regular way what had occurred at the
various meetings between the Von
Storchs and their attorneys. He knew
what agreements had been arrived at
but could not tell how they were ar
rived at. He was present at all these
meetings, but as they took placo half
a century ago he could not evjn at
tempt to give the substance of the con
versations. He knew the results, but
these did not establish, the dealings
leading up to them, and as that was
what he was called to give evidence of,
he was consequently a poor witness.
Just before adjournment the defense
was given permission to call ex-Attorney
General Henry M, Palmer, who
wanted to be eaved the trouble of com
ing uo again tomorrow. He stood up
alongsldo the witness box, where Judge
Harding sat tilted back In his chair,
and during the twenty minutes that
he was testifying there was an al
most continuous run of merriment, re
sulting from rich exchanges of rep
artee. PALMER WANTED TO KNOW.
Once when Major Warren Interposed
an objection, General Palmer said:
"You object to that?"
"Yes, I object," with emphasis.
"You do?" rejoined 'the witness in
a tono n.f surprise.
"Yes."
"Well, what's your objection?" At
this usurpation of judicial powers by
a witness everybody present, including
Judge Archbald, burst Into a hearty
laugh. General Palmer's apparent ln
genulousness made the incident all the
more comical.
When the laughter had subsided,
Judge Harding, in a half-undertone
and well feigned grumble, told General
Palmer: "Go home, they won't let you
tell anything;" Again the group within
the enclosure enjoyed a hearty laugh.
Another Incident provocative of
laughter was Judge Harding's reach
ing over and taking from General
Palmer a paper which had been handed
to him for identification. After In
specting it closely he handed it back
and allowed the witness to proceed, re
markng as he fllnlshed his inspection,
"Yes, that's mine, but It was Henry
