DIES IK NEW YORK _ [Continued From First Page] — i and the last rites of the church were administered. When news of the General's condl- | tion was communicated to Mrs. Sickles | she insisted on going to his house and j taking immediate charge of him. From the time she entered .the house until he passed away she remained at his side and directed the trained nurse who had been employed by Doctor Spann. Before the end came General Sickles had made such reparation as was in his power for the years of ne glect and rancor that characterized his relations with his wife. Miss Eleanor Earle Wilmerding, who had been the General's house keeped for fifteen years, was buried on Lincoln's birthday. The present Mrs. Sickles was the General's sec ond wife and was the daughter of a Spanish councillor, whom he married while he was Minister to Spain in 1871. I General Daniel E. Sickles had a lons anil varied career. He was born In New York city. His grandfather, who was of Knickerbocker stock, retained the name of Van Sickles, but the fath er of the General dropped the prefix and the name, which was distinctively dutch, was thus Americanized. Daniel Kdgar Sickles was graduated from New Work University, and in 184G was admitted to the practice of law. As soon as he became a member of the bar he gave much of his time to politics and the militia. He was sent to the State Assembly by Tam many Hall, and in 1853 he was chosen corporation counse*. The life of a soldier had always appealed to him, and the young lawyer joined the Twelfth Regiment National Guard as a private In 1849. In three years he retired from the organization as a major, llis appointment as First Sec retary of the Legation of the United States in London, in 1853, took him away from this country for two years. On his return he was for a time a State senator, and from 1857 to ISGI, was in Washington as a Democrat of the House of Representatives. Was a War l>eni<M'rat Rumors of war had been heard many times in those four years, and the General, on account of his wide acquaintance with the Southern mem bers, realized, as comparatively few did, that the nation was on the verge of a long and < cstly struggle. General Sickles was prominent <is a Democrat at the outbreak of the war, and had not voted for President Lin coln. He said, however, that Mr. Din coin was a strong and able man, and he went to him and offered his ser vices. The President immediately ac cepted them and asked him to go to New York to raise regiments, a task which the General performed with singular success. Throughout the war General Sickles enjoyed the friend ship and confidence of Mr. Lincoln to a marked degree. Raised a Regiment The beginning of hostilities found him in New York raising the Excelsior Brigade of five regiments at his own expense. He even paid the mainten ance bill of these regiments for sev eral weeks before they were mustered into the service of the United States. Thus was formed the first body of United States volunteers as distin guished from those who enlisted under the banners of the States. The wis dom of huch a method of enlistment appeared all the more as th-; war ad vanced, for there was no such compli cations In the handling of the troops as developed among State organisa tions. The soldiers signed for three years, although there were men in the North who really believed lhat within ninety days the fighting would be all over. Mr. Sickles was made colonel of the regiment, later designated as the Sev entieth New York. His zeal and abil ity went hand in hand in bringing about his advancement. He was a I brigadier general of volunteers in 1861! and a major general of volunteers a year later, and was retired several years after the conclusion of peace with the full rank of major general In the regular army, with which he had remained. Lost Leg at Gettysburg His military record touches the great battles of the Civil War and is connected with every Important cam paign. He was In the Peninsular op erations, he was at the head of a corps In the Army of the Potomac, he achieved distinction for his bravery in action on the field of Antietam, Chancellorsville and Fair Oaks. He was In the thick of the fight at Gettys burg, and In the second day of that battle lost his leg. Around General Sickles' name one of the bitterest discussions regarding the battle of Gettysburg has waged for years. Did he err in the encounter of the second day In advancing l.is troops beyond the lino to which Gon rral Meade had assigned bim? It lias been called an egregious error, {ireoipi HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH fating tho bloody conflict on the Peach Orchard; It has been termed a mo.'o which saved the field to the Union force. Lieutenant General Longstreet, of the Confederate army, his adver sary on the field, wrote General Sickles on September 19, 1902, as follows: On that field you made your mark that will place you promi nently before the world as one I of the leading figures of the most Important battle of the Civil war. As a Northern veteran once re marked to me, "General Sickles can well afford to leave a leg on that field." I believe that it is now conceded that the advanced position at th.! Peach Orchard, taken by your corps and under your orders, sav ed that battlefield to the Union cause. It was the surest and sad est reflection of my life for many years, but to-day I can say, with sineerest emotion, that It was and Is the best that could have hap pened to us all, North and South; i and I hope that the nation, re united, may always enjoy the hon or and glory brought to it by that grand work. Praised by Slierldan And Lieutenant General Sheridan made the following statement in 18S0 to Major Tyler Prundle, of the Twen ty-eighth Massachusetts Volunteers, and to Lieutenant L. Edward Jenkins, of the Second Massachusetts heavy ar tillery, both residents of Boston: I examined Sickles' position of the battlefield very carefully, and I have no hesitancy whatever in saying that under the conditions in which General Sickles found himself on that occasion he could have done nothing else but rnovi out as he did when he met Gen eral Longstreet's threatening ad- ' dances,, and If he had not dono so there would have been no third day at Gettysburg and General Meade would have been forced off hl3 position on his left flank and would have been forced to with draw the army to his Pipe Creek position, where he first intended to fight the impending battle. The Killing of Key Few men of note in the present gen eration had a more romantic or tragic family story than General Sickles. In the public eye the most memorable of the incidents in this tragedy was his slaying of Philip Karton Key, son of Francis Scott Key, the author of "The Star-Spangled Banner." Sickles, stalwart, handsome, ambi tious, was in 1858 corporation counsel of New York. His timbitlon led him to tho study of Italian and Spanish to tit himself for diplomatic service. He met and married Theresa Hagiola, daughter of an Italian music teacher to the most fashionable New York families. Theresa was only J7 and was accomplished in the knowledge of language and feminine graces of the, times. On his return from the Court of ,st. James, where he had been secretary of legation, Si Okies was sent to Congress. It was in Washington on an after noon in February, 1859, that the Ke.' tragedy occurred. Key was a young man of equal brilliancy with Sickles. He held the post of United States dis trict attorney and they became in separable companions, to be found at clubs and at the hotels, and Key grad ually became the third person with Sickles and his wife when they figured at White House and legation recep tions. An anonymous letter that aroused Sickles brought out the truth that Key na'l fascinated the beautiful, vivacious Italian woman who, front a quiet life in New York, had been suddenly brought forward with all the charms into the polished, brilliant society of the capital. Sickles found a rendez vous that Ki y had arranged in a house in an obscure section of Wash mgton, which he had rented and where a discreet colored servant was care taker. He forced a written confession from his wife, stripped her of her marriage and engagement rings, and sent for her father to take her away. On the following afternoon. Sunday, General Sickles from the windows of his home, saw Key signaling to his wife to come out and accompany him for a walk. The woman's frightened face appeared at the window; her quick signs of refusal told Key noth ing. I-ie continued on his way to the intended rendezvous. Armed with two deringer pistols and a revolver. Sickles followed him. He passed the White House into old Lafayette Square, drew ahead of his victim, and then crossed the street in front of htm. A few words passed between the men and then Sickles fired upon his opponent, killing him. Acquitted of Murder The trial of Sickles which followed divided their friends and a large part of the American public into two hos tile camps—those who found pallia tion in Sickles' act and those who de nounced him as a murderer. After a trial lasting for twenty days Sickles was acquitted. Then arose more dis cussion when it became known that he had forgiven his wife and again received her into his household. The woman died a few years later broken by the tragedy and the social ostracism that followed it. General Sic kles' found his second romance while representing the United States at the Spanish Court. He won and married the Daughter of a Span ish Counsellor of State and niece of (the Marchioness of Novaliches, the Countess of Santa Isabel and Mistress | of the Robes at Queen Isabella's court. A son and daughter were born of the marriitge. Stanton Sickles has been in the diplomatic service of the United States at Madrid, Athens and Paris. The daughter, Edna, is now Mrs. Cra chenthorpc, wife of the Secretary of the British Embassy in Vienna. Separates From Second Wife General and Mrs. Sickles parted in Paris in 1881, their differences arising over General Sickles' desire to return to America ;.nd take up a political li-e and his wife's wish to remain in Spain. After 27 years, however, the couple were reunited by the approach ing death of the old soldier. The closing years of General Sickles' life were filled with vicissitudes. He inherited a fortune, estimated to be as high as $3,000,000, from his fam- Have You Had the Grip?

It was as a result of this com plication that General Sickles was practically besieged in his Fifth ave nue home, appearing in a window un der an American flag and defying Sheriff Harburger and his assistants of New York county. The closing days of the warrior's ca reer were further darkened by charges of his son that he had spent sums ap proximating several millions and was in debt; the imminent sale of his curios and relics on a judgment for $8,200; difference with his wife after, it was reported, she had pawned her jewels to save his effects; a move to foreclose a mortgage on his home for SIIB,OOO and to dispossess him, and a suit by his daughter to recover $50,- 000 said to be due her. Currounded by such embarrassments as these and the efforts of his family to relieve him. General Sickles passed his ninety third birthday. Through all of it he was still the warrior, facing his diffi culties with an indominable spirit. And through it all none was more keen to defend his stand at Gettysburg nor more sensitive to the fact that the old war enmities had twice caused his re jection for membership in the Loyal Legion.
