uekingham Post Celebrates the
25th 'f‘lear of the Organization
' ofthe Order.
The commemorative exercises of the
foundinglof the Veteran Association of
the G. A. R; was held last evening by
all Posts throughout the United States.
That of Buckingham Post convened in
the Y. M. C. A. hall where an interest-
ing programme, consisting of religious
exercises. music, recitations and
speeches, were rendered. Rev. Dr.
Noble, Rev. Mr. Haulenbeek, ex-Sen-
ator Hill, and a large number of army
veterans occupied the stage. The gen-
eral orders calling for this commemo-
rative gathering were read. The Co.
F Glee Club, consisting of Corporals
Austen and Stanley, ex-Corporal. Nash
and Drum Major Carrier, gave several
delightful songs and were loudly en-
cored every time they sang. Ex-Sena-
to rHill made a short and patriotic ad-
dress, and‘read a letter written by the
late A. T. Stewart, which was cut from
the Memphis Appeal and which the ex-
Senator said had never appeared in a
northern paper, as follows : ,
To J... P. Strange, Esq.,
Memphis, Tenn. '
New York, April 29th, 1861.
Dear Sir: . _ _
Your letter requesting to
know whether or not I had offered a
million of dollars to the Government
for the purposes of the war, and at_ the
same time informing_me that neither
'ourself nor your friends would pay
their debts to the firm as they mature, .
has been received. ‘ .
The intention not to pay, seems to be
nearly universal in the South, aggra-
vated in your case by the assurance
that it does not arise from inability:
but whatever may be your determina-
tion or that of others at the South, it
shall not change my course.
All that [have ofpose‘te’on and wealth,
I owe to the free mstitutzons of the
United States, under which in common
with all others, North and South, pro-
tection. to life, liberty and pr0perty,
has been enjoyed in the fullest manner.
The Government to which these bless-
ings are due, calls on her eitizens~ to
protect the Capital of the Union from
La—
threatened assault, and, although the...
offer to which you refer, has not ,in
terms been made by me,.I yet dedicate
all that Ihave, as .I will if need be,
my life, to the serv1ce of the country;
for to that country, I am bound by the
strongest ties of afi‘ection and duty. .
I had hoped that Tennessee would be _
loyal to the Constitution. .But how-
ever extensive may be secess10n or re-
pudiatiOn, so long as there are any to
uphold the sovereignty of the United
States, I shall be with them supporting
the flag. Yours, ALEXANDER T. STEWART.
Miss Dennis gave a very de-
lightful piano solo, when Miss Burr,
daughter of Comrade Horace Burr, ad-
mirably recited a fine G. A. R. poem.
Comrade Andrew White then read, in
a clear and distinct manner, the follow-
ing historical address prepared by Past
Commander George I. Buxton, who
was unable to be present:
COMBADES AND FRIENDs:——It is fitting
on this occasion when we meet to com-
memorate the founding of the G, A_. R.-
that a brief sketch of the history‘ot our

ed in considerable obscurity, those sur-
viving who took part in. the first at-
tempts at organization; differ cons1der-
ably in their recollections of the matter,
but as nearly as can be ascertained
from the records which have been pre
served, quiet early in the year 1867,1ess
than a year after the foundation of the
order in Illinois, a number of err-sold.-
iers of Norwalk applied for .a charter
to organize a Post, which beinggrant.
ed, ten comrades assembled in the
sanctum of the Norwalk GAZETTE, and
organized what was known as Post N o.
2. District of Housatonic, Department
of Connecticut G. A. R., and elected
James L. Ambler as its first "command-
er. The Post subsequently established
its headquarters in the Sons of Tem-
perance Hall, GAZETTE building, and

The first memorial :day' services, and
decoration of Soldiers" graves; in ac-
cordance with the original order. of
General Lo an, were conducted .by
this Post in . ay 1868 and according
to the report 'of the Norwalk GAZETTE,
then the only paper published in Nor-
walk, which gave a full list of all the
aves decorated, there were but two
in St. Paul’s church yard, three in St.
Mary’s, and fourteen in Union ceme-
tery, :whereas we now decorate Six
graves in St. Paul’s, thirty inSt. Mary’s,
and more than severity in Union ceme-
tery, besides ten in the new Rivers1de
cemetery. 1 An increase of about 100,
or more that 500 percent, figures which
furnish {food for sad and serious re-
fiections.
During the decade from 1870 to 1880,
no-further attempts at organization ap-
pear to have been made, but in the
N'or‘w‘alkGAz‘ETTE of February 3d. 1880,
the following call was issued:
~: norms. ,
“All old soldiers and Sailors of the late
war. residents of Norwalk, who may be
desirous (If-forming a Pest of G. A. R.
at. Norwalk Bridge, are requested to
meet with the following comrades at
the "GAZETTE office, on Wednesday
evening, Feb. 4th, 1880.” Signed—R.
L. Ells, Wm. A.- Kellogg, Jere B.
. Rusco, C. C. Platt, Edwin Northrup,

Jesse Pollard, B.‘ 8.. Keith, Fletcher
Pierce. Frank Pollard, \Vni. B. New-
comb, George H. Ra mond, J 0s. PJ
Crossman and James . Ambler.
In response to this call 13 comrades
met and effected a temporary'organiza-
tion. They were encouraged in their
efforts to organize a Post by the pres-
ence of a delegation from Douglas Fow-
ler Post, No. 48, of South Norwalk,
which had been organized a short time
previously. This meeting resulted in
the appointment of a committee to per-
fect arran ements for organization,
and was fofiowed by the organization
of the present Post, Feb: 25th, 1880, in
the hall of- Concord Division, Sons of
Temperance, in the GAZETTE Building.
Nineteen cemrades’ were mustered into
the G. A. R. in the form prescribed by
Senior Vice-Dept. Commander A. B.
Beers, of Bridgeport, and Commander
Bradley S. Kelth, with the other offi-
cers-elect were installed.
It was stated by Past Department
Commander Charles E. Fowler who
was present, that as the original Nor—
walk Post had no other name but No.
12, which had not Since been appropri-
F ' ated by any other Post of the Depart-
ment. this Post could adopt that num-
ber with a name. .It was accordingly
voted to take the No. '12, and name the ,
Post in honor of our great and noble
war governor, ‘ ‘Buckingham.”
For two or three years after organi—
zation, the Post in common with many
others, had a hard struggle for exis-
tence, and there were many times
when it seemed'on the‘ve‘rge of follow-
ing its predecessor; But changes had
taken place in the character and man-
agement of the order, and gradually
becoming known. to the veterans that
that it was entirely without politics as
an organization, together 'with the
growing spirit of c'omradship, and bond
of iuterest which time alone could pro-
duce, membership began to increase
and soon placed the Post on a firm foot-
ing. For the past half dozen years it
has increased very‘ regularly in num-
bers, and character of its membership,
until it ranks among. the first in the
state.
’ he Post has had in the 11 years of
its existence, 175 members, represent-
ing every branch of the service. In-
fantry, Cavalry, Artillery, Enngineers,
Regular Army, Navy, Marine Corps,
and colored troops. Many have died,
and a few moved away and become
members of other posts. It now num-
bers 140 members in good standing, and
has had 10 Commanders, as follows:
Bradley S. Keith, 1880—1-2; Frank W.
Perry, ’83 ; Edwin Northrop, ’84: J.
L. Ambler, ’85 ; James Scofield, ’86;
Wm. A. Ambler, ’87; Charles F. I
Loomis, ’88; George I. Buxton, ’89:}
A. A. Hauschildt, ’90; Thomas Brad-
ley, ’91.
"he Post also includes in its mem-
bership two Past Commanders of other
Posts, who joined by transfer. William
S. Knapp, a Past Commander of Doua-
las Fowler Post, No. 48 South Norwalk,
and Edward Anderson, Past Comman-
der of J L M. Wells Post, No. 451, De-
partment of Ohio, who after becoming
a member of this Post also served as
Department Chaplain and Chaplain-in
Chief of the order.
The Post has yet a few members who
are under 50 years of age, men who
entered the army very young, and a
few over 70, but the average is consid--
erably above 50.
With no new field for recruits, like.
other organizations, the tine must soon
come when the Post will enter upon
the down hill side, never to ascend
again, when all must “sleep beneath
that low, green tent whose curtain
never outwards swings.” ' '
Following the above, Rev. Dr. Noble
gave a stirring address, followed by a
song by the Glee Club, when Rev. Mr.
Haulenbeek took the stand and revived
the war memories of 1861, when from
this same platform Ferry and others el-
oquently and successfully urged the
men of Norwalk to come forward and
enlist for the defence of the imperiled
Union, and when he and others pres-
ent, had seen hundreds march upon
the platform and enroll themselves into
the first great, grand Army of the Re-
public. ‘ .' '
"Rev. Dr. Noble then pronounced the.
benedictiOn and the' large and well
pleased audience dispersed.

ANNA ACCUSES SUSAN

Miss Dickinson Makes'a Grave Charge
Against Her Sister.-
IT’S- MONSTROUS , Ir TRUE.
Incarcerated in a Madhouse While Sane
That Eloney Might Be Made by Her Mis-
fortune—Rescued by’ Dr. Seward,
Who Says She Was Never area.
NEW YORK, April ‘11.—Scarcely two
months have passed since the public was
shocked by the] story that Miss Anna
Dickinson, the gifted and eloquent lect-
urer for the Republican national commit-
tee, had lost her reason and had been
confined in a madhouse hopelessly insane.
Today Miss Dickinson, after escaping by
chance from an imprisonment almost as
dreadful asa living entombment, tells a
story of wrongs and sufferings which she
has undergone during the past few weeks,
and alleges that she is the victim of a. con-
spiracy deliberately planned and carried
out by her own sister.
ANNA DICKINSON.
Her story is that although perfectly sane
she was dragged from her home and incar-
cerated in an asylum filled with lunatics,
and subjected to the most inhuman treat-
ment. The object of subjecting her to
these dreadful ordeals was, as she believed,
to get money from the pubiic by arousing
sympathy for her pretended condition.
The person whom she accused as the chief
instrument in this unnatural design is her
own sister. '
She says that while in the asylum she
was able to tell no one of the horrors of
her position, and it was only by the merest
chance that she found in Dr. Frederick IV.
Seward, to whose home for invalids at
Goshen, N. Y., she was removed on April
2, a friend to whom she could look for as-
sistance. She charges that her removal
was instigated by her sister, Susan Dickin-
son, under the impression that Dr. Seward,
as the keeper of a private madhouse, would
be able to guard the secret of this terrible
injustice more effectually than if she was
kept in confinement in the State Insane
asylum at Danville, Pa, where she was
first imprisoned. -
She “'as Never Insane.
Dr. Seward, however, declares, that be:
coming convinced that Miss Dickinson was
not only perfectly sane, but had never lost
her reason, he told her that she was free.
Miss Dickinson and the doctor came to
New York for the express purpose of giv-
ing to the public the story of her wrongs,
and to take steps to commence legal pro-
ceedings to vindicate her rights and punish
those who are responsible for the injustice.
At the Astor House.
Friday morning a reporter called upon
Miss Dickinson and Dr. Seward at the
' Astor House, and found them at breakfast.
They were prepared to take the 9 o’clock
train on the Erie road back to Goshen,where
Miss Dickinson will remain for several
days for further rest, and will then return
to New York to tell the story of her
wrongs in public, and to actively push the
legal proceedings which she ' intends to
take. She looked somewhat thinner and
'more careworn than when she was last
seen in New York, but she was calm and
earnest in her manner, though her dark,
expressive eyes flashed with indignation
as she spoke.
“I can never tell all that I have suffered
in these last few weeks,” she said, “and
had it not been for my good friend here
my mind would certainly have given way
under the strain. I could not. have been
' more completely shut out from the world
and my friends if I had been nailed in my
coffin and buried in a vault,” she added
with a shudder. "It is horrible even to
think of it.” ' '
Incarceration an Easy Matter.
Surprise was expressed that she could
be dragged away to a madho'use and so
hopelessly incarcerated without sufficient
ground. ' «
“It is easier than you imagine,” said Dr.
Seward, “and this is only one of, many
similar cases. ‘ That Miss Dickinson is
perfectly sane I am as positive as’I am'of
my own sanity”. I saw this at onceas soon
as I met her, but I took time tagstudy' her
case. I have investigated some of her
statements and found them , ,to be per-
fectly true, and Lam prepared ti) do what-
ever I can to assist” her-kin obtaining her
rights.” ‘ ~ , ‘ .' _ '
Then Miss Dickinson said ‘to. 5 the re-
porter: , ‘ , _ _ ' ‘
“I have all the documents to prove every
allegation that I have made," andI have
told my story to ‘the public before, insti-
tutin g any. legal proceedings .in order that
those whom I accuse may have an oppor-
tunity of answering me in the same way.”
“Do you intend to go‘upon. the lecture
platform again?” she was asked. ‘
“Undoubtedly,”was the reply, “and it
will probably be within the next ten days.
I intend ,to appear in this city and tell the
public with my' own lips what I have suf-
fered.,7 - . I .
Dr. Seward“ said that Miss Dickinson’s
first idea as soon as he gave her her liberty
was to go back to Pittston, Pa., where her
sister Susan lives, and the home from
which she was taken Feb. 25 last and im-
prisoned in the Danville asylum, and begin
prosecution at once. '
' \Von’t Risk Ito-arrest.
S15 iiidIn doing this, however, she might be lia-
" ';‘ble to re-nrrest and imprisonment, which
'cp'uld not be risked at the present time.
So long as she remained in this state, how-
ever, she was perfectly safe from any in-
gpgference, and could go and come as she
,. -¥« andggf let; 13.8, from, "‘-“After. Miss Dickinson’s incarceration.
" edple who “we use t em p (We this mu ny of her friends, who knew of the cir—
cumstances of her family. whom she has
always supported, started subscription. to
prov1de for t e wants of her sister, who is
now the only one remaining, her father,
mother and brother having all died within
the past three years. When it was learned
by "Miss Dickinson through the news-
papers, since her escape from Danville,
that this had been done, and that certain
sums of money had been paid over to her
Sister Susan, she has sent word to those
who have been receiving these donations
to accept no more.
General Christensen, of Brooklyn; Mrs.
Ives, of this city; Mrs. Frances E. \Villard,
of Chicago, and Mrs. Rachel Avery Foster.
of Philadelphia, are among those who
have received subscriptions.
Miss Dickinson attributes her sister’s
conduct toward her to hatred and jeal-
ousy and a grasping desire for money.
During the last year, she says, they had
become reduced to very straitened circum-
stances, and her sister’s treatment of her
was harsh and unsympathetic. '
A Pathetic Story.
I
Miss Dickinson’s recital of the manner
in ‘which she was dragged to the insane
asylum is most pathetic. She says: '
It was \Vednesdny, Feb. 25. In the af-
ternoon of that, day I was seated on the
floor of my room with papers and letters
arranged in piles on all sides of me. Iwas
busy assorting and arranging, and for
greater ease in such work I was lightly
and Somewhat roughly clad. I wore an
old wrapper for an outer garment.
About 2 o’clock I heard, all of a sudden,
a knocking at my door. I said, “W'ho’s
there?”
A man’s voice replied: “It is I, Miss
Dickinson—your neighbor, George Thomp-
son. _ Can I come in?" I was not clad to
receive visitors, and besides I was busy.
I said, “No, I have not time to see you
now. ’3
He said: “But I have come to take you
where you will learn to write plays and
make speeches again. Don’t you want to
0?”
Then the whole thing came over me.
They were going to carry me away to an
asylum if they could.
I said, “No, I don’t, and I desire you to
go away at once and leave me alone.”
Then I heard whispers outside the door,
from which I realized that the man had
brought assistance, although, mind you,
I had heard no footstep or any other sound
until I heard the voice. After a. moment
of whispered consultation the same voice
said, “Will you open the! door?”
I said, “No, I will not.”
“Then we will burst it in,” he said.
At that I got up on my feet and started
for the window to cry for help, if need be.
“Burst it in, then,‘1 I said, “at your peril.”
They put their shoulders to the door and
it fell in. They had broken the lock. Six
men and awoman rushed in upon me. There
was Thompson, whom I recognized; Dr.
Hileman, the man Eggleston, three men
whom I had never seen before, and the
woman was, as I understand, Dr. Hile-
man’s aunt.
Sli'amefully Abused.
I had thrown the window up. They
rushed upon me and seized my arms and
pulled the window down. I struggled-
of course I struggled. Any sane woman
would struggle against such an intrusion
into her chamber. I struggled until the
skin was torn from my wrists and until
the light garments I wore were ripped
from me in rags and tatters. Then they
got .‘my hands down and tied them to-
gether.
“We are going to take you to Danville,
where you will be better off than you art
here,” said Dr. Hileman. I said nothing
I was too exhausted to speak. One of th(
men had stood inactive in the door during
the struggle. Hileman pointed to him and
said, “This is Dr. Hartman, who also ad-
vises you to go.” The man assented.
VVheu I could recover my breath I said, “i
do not know Dr. Hartman and he never
saw me. How can he possibly advise any-
thing about me? I protest against this out
rage. I do not want to go with you, and i
will not go with you except by force.”
They held me fast, and Thompson went
to a. closet, out of which be dragged an old,
worn but wrap. “Do you want to dress
yourself?” be said.
I said, “It is impossible for me to dress
myself in the presence of men.” '
“Well, then, I shall put this around you,”
said he.
So he threw the wrap over my shoulders,
with the sleeves hanging down. and but-
toned two buttons in the wrong button-
holes, so that it looked as crooked as possi-
ble. Then he took an old battered straw
hat from the closet and planted it askew
on my head.
I appealed to the woman for intercession
and protection. She only smiled. I ap-
pealed to the men to respect a woman’s
delicacy. The picked me up, and like a
bale of goods they tore, dragged and hus-
tled me down the stairs to the front door,
and threw me into a carriage and carried
me off to the Danville Insane asylum.
Subjected to Indlgnltles.
Miss Dickinson graphically describes her
life at this asylum, and tells of many un-
successful efl'orts to communicate with
her friends. She says she was roughly
treated and subjected to all sorts of indig-
nities. The food was bad, and no medicine
was provided for her, although She was
suffering greatly from sickness all the
time. : i -
She spent five weeks at Danville in con-
stant dread of being sent to a private asy-
lum, where she feared she would be buried
completely. When she heard that Dr.
Seward had come to take her away she be-
lieved that the worst had come.
Her fears were not realized, however, for
she found in him an honest man and a
friend, who has been the means of restor-
‘ing her to freedom again. She says that
she believed her sister had her removed to
Goshen because she feared that the news-
papers, which had been calling attention
to the fact that Anna Dickinson was con-
fined as a pauper maniac in a public asy-
lum, might lead to an investigati0n by her
friends.
Miss Dickinson took the 9 o’clock train
for Goshen, where she will recuperate her
health. .
Liberal Victory in Nova Scotia.
HALIFAX, . April 11.-—The Liberals won
a. sweeping victory in Prince Edward
Island. Four members resigned their
seats in the legislature to become candi-
dates for the Dominion house of commons,
viz., the Hon. Donald Ferguson, provin-
cial secretary; the Hon. Patrick Blake,
speaker of the house; John McLean and
John Yeo, leader of opposition. The first
three were supporters of the government.
The elections to fill the vacancies resulted
in the return of four opposition candi-
dates. This defeats the government, and
will compel them to either resign ordis-
solve and make a general appeal to the
country.
