At the time ho was work :ng in a tannery owned by Jay Oould, noted financier. Young Delaney was a fighter and the call to armß appealed to him. When 13 years old he was a robust boy, and he determined to enlist, 'lie ran away from home in Scranton and came to Harrisburg, where he enlisted as a pri vate in Company I, 107 th regiment, Pennsylvania volunteers, commanded by the late Major Harry C. Shaffer, of Harrmburg, and in order to pass the mustering offlcor's inspection he stood on a block of wood that gnve him an added height of several inches and en abled him to pass He Earned Medal of Honor He did not serve as a drummer, hut was strong enough to carry a musket. JIo was one of the youngest soldiers in the army to go into actual fighting with a musket, sumo thing ho was very proud of. He served from Bull Bun to Appomattox was Several times wounded, thrice captured 5 and escaped. From time to time promotion came to him until he hail command of a com pany at the close of the'war. At the battle 6f Dabney's Station a conspicuous act of gallantry iu recap turing the regimental colors earned him, in after years, the Medal of Hon or, given for particular acts of bravery. On being mustered out he went home to Bcranton and attended Kingston Academy for a term and then went with the engineer corps of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company. In 1867 President Johnson appoint ed young Delaney a lieutenant in the Thirty-second regiment. United States infantry, but ho declined the honor, tireferring to remain with his family, n 1S 7r» he was made messenger iii-the Executive Department by Governor Hartranft, who was his firm friend, and in 1879, a vacancy occurring in the office of Senate Librarian, he was elect ed to that position, serving until 1890, when President Harrison appointed him Receiver of Public Moneys in Okla homa. Ho resigned that post in the fall of 1893 to return to Pennsylva nia and at once entered actively into the politics of the State. Captain Delaney was known as one of the political lieutenants of the late Senator M. 8. Quay when the latter was the Republican lender of the Stute. In 1895 he was appointed Superintend ent of Public Grounds and Buildings bv Governor Hastings, serving until 1899. Appointed Factory Inspector In 1903 Governor ..Pennvpacker ap pointed Captain Delaney Chief Factory Inspector, in which position he served until January, 1913, when he resigned, his resignation being due, it was al leged, to his assertion that he had in his possession a confession made by the late John H. Sanderson, implicated in the Capitol grafting, in which certain men "higher up" were mentioned, and which he declined to make public. Since his retirement from office Cap tain Delaney had been at the head of a chemical firm in Washington, D. C., having removed his family to that city about a year ago. From the time he resigned his place as Chief Factory Inspector Captain Delaney began to fail in health, and when he came to Harrisburg last Janu ary to attend the inauguration of Gov ernor Brumbaugh his friends were im pressed by the astonishing change in his physical appearance. He returned to Washington and a few weeks ago his condition became such that his friends knew his last hour was fast approaching. In the past few weeks many friends from Pennsylvania called upon him, and they found him suffering very much from his illness, but the same bright and cheery man as of old. Captain Delaney was a member of the Loyal Legion of Pennsylvania and Post 58, G. A. R., of IHarrisburg. He is survived by his widow, formerly Miss Kline; two sons, Charles H. and Roy, and a daughter, Helen, who were with him at his death. 50 INJURED Y.
