river's seat on his stage a favorite place, and he seemed to enjoy a oke on himself as well as on another. He was a loyal Democrat nd something of a politician, but his business was stage driving,- nd in his mind that held the chief place. This was before the day f telegraphs and on the occasion of an election of some impor- ince the colonel had been requested to get the returns from peo- le on the train at Meriden, and report the result. As the time for le stage drew near the politicians got impatient and went out on ast Main street to meet it. It was the colonel's custom on reach- ig the crest of the hill near the junction of East Main and Cole reets, to blow his horn, give a peculiar flirt to his reins and come with the six horses on a gallop. About the time they started on le gallop some one shouted, "How's election?" "Two hundred nd forty majority," with a voice which marked elation. Some arted to raise a cheer, but a cautious man a little further down e hill said, "Which way, colonel?" A blank look passed for an stant over his face, and then came back the ringing, but unsatis- ctory reply, "I vow, I forgot to ask 'em." By that time the centre as nearly reached and all parties united in three rousing cheers the colonel's expense.
His language and figures were drawn from his profession, and ere at times very quaint. The great Millerite excitement about re was in 1843. That was the time set for the end of all things d the going up of the saints. When the day passed and nothing usual happened the leaders revised their figures and set another te. This was done several times. The congregation continued hold their meetings here for some years, gradually dwindling in mbers. They met in Washington hall. It was summer, the win- ws were open, and they were singing some of their peculiar mns. "How are they getting on up there ?" a bystander inquired the colonel. "Wall," said he, "I guess they're runnin' rather ht. I've noticed, if you leave a passenger once or twice, he's ghty apt to ride by some other line." He had a driver whose name Is Tim Lancaster-tall, slim, built very much like the colonel, and sembling him. The colonel was telling of some mistake of a ludi- ›us sort, depending on this resemblance. "Wall," said he, "it aint strange, after all; we're both a regular Narragansett build." The
: usion was to the famous Narragansett pacers, which were long ad thin.
So long as Col. Welton lived he was a popular and conspicuous rsonage in the town, and many amusing remarks of his were ig remembered and quoted. On May 10, 1853, he married Abby tchell. He died October 14, 1859, leaving a son and a daughter.

HISTORY OF WATERBURY.
THE WAR FOR THE UNION.
In the eventful year 1861 Waterbury gave, out of a total of 1609 votes, a majority of 126 against the successful Republican candidate for governor, William A. Buckingham, and the Republican candi- dates for representatives, John P. Elton and Israel Holmes, were defeated by Green Kendrick and N. J. Welton. The House stood. however, two to one in favor of the Republicans and the Senate thirteen Republicans to eight Democrats. But Waterbury's vote did not mean that she would not do her share to put down the rebellion, as the 900 brave men she sent out attested. On Monday, April 15, came President Lincoln's call for troops. Capt. Chatfield and his men immediately proffered their services and were ordered to rendezvous at New Haven, for which place they left on April 20, with an almost full quota, and what vacancies existed were soon filled. There was small sign now of disbandment or of the lack of energy that had sometimes confronted them in time of peace; the appearance of danger meant new life and increased rather than diminished ranks. The assistant rector of St. John's church, the Rev. J. M. Willey, added example to precept, and, when his offer to go at once as chaplain was not accepted, seized his first opportunity and obtained a like appointment in the Third regiment of volun- teers. The day the men departed was made a holiday. They were addressed from the band stand on the Green by Aner Bradley, then mayor, the Rev. T. F. Hendricken, John W. Webster, S. W. Kellogg, L. W. Coe, C. H. Carter, Dr. P. G. Rockwell, E. B. Cooke and N. J. Buel, who, in behalf of the clergy, presented pocket Testaments to be distributed among the men. The Rev. Mr. Willey offered prayer and the Rev. S. W. Magill pronounced the benediction. Tompkins's and Merrill's bands, consolidated, headed the procession to the station, and the fire companies escorted the soldiers. A subscrip- tion of $1900 was immediately raised at a meeting called to devise means for caring for the families of the volunteers, Mayor Bradley presiding. The special town meeting of April 22 appropriated $10,000 toward the fund. A beautiful American flag was raised over the old Catholic church, 300 Catholic pupils under the direction of the Misses Slater participating in the ceremonies. At a meeting in the basement of the church on April 28, T. F. Neville being chair- man and J. S. Gaffney secretary, fifty volunteered to go. Although no company was then organized and the number of volunteers ac- cepted by the government was considered sufficient, most of them went later in other regiments.

Armed with Sharpe's rifles and Springfield muskets, the regi- nt left New Haven for Washington on May 9, on the Bienville. When Col. Tyler reported with the First, Gen. Scott exclaimed,
¿ After the Waterbury men had followed these colors nobly through the Bull Run campaign, being a ig the few who left that disastrous field in good order, they were nearly deprived of them on their return to ew Haven. The captain of a Hartford company sought to take them home with his command, but a d mined band of Waterbury men broke into the car and rescued them.

HISTORY OF WATERBURY.
"Thank God! one regiment has come fully equipped for service." Other men from Waterbury were found in the ranks of the Second and Third. The three Connecticut regiments were mustered out July 31, but under the call of August 15 for three years' men nearly all re-enlisted in New Haven. Capt. Coon assisted in recruiting Company B, of the First squadron of Connecticut cavalry, after- ward attached to the Second New York or Harris Light cavalry, of which Coon became captain. The chaplain of the regiment was Dr. Benjamin W. Stone, formerly of this city.
Soon after the departure of the City guard, the Phoenix guard was formed with S. W. Kellogg as captain, and H. N. Place and E. J. Rice, lieutenants, to become Company D, of the Fifth, mustered in on July 23, 1861, for three years. D. B. Hamilton took Lieut. Place's position and Capt. Kellogg remained to assist in organizing the Union guard as a successor to the City guard for a home com- pany. C. E. L. Holmes was made captain and S. W. Kellogg and G. B. Thompson, lieutenants. On October I this command became Com- pany A, Second Connecticut militia under the state law. In June of that year James E. Coer organized into the Waterbury Zouaves youths between seventeen and twenty years of age. Mr. Coer was captain and A. B. Crook and G. A. Stocking, lieutenants. After showing their skill and determination in a voluntary camp in Oakville for three days, they were allowed to carry guns. So rapid was their advancement that in the following January they became light infantry Company D, James F. Simpson, captain; James M. Birrell and Charles D. Hurlburt, lieutenants; George Allen, orderly ser- geant.
Again and again it was necessary to fill up, in the ranks of both these companies, the vacancies caused by the large number of enlistments into the Sixth and Fourteenth regiments. In the sum- mer of 1862 the Union guard was among the first to respond under the call for 600,000 men and left on September 3 as nine months' men, constituting Company A, of the Twenty-third regiment, mus- tered in on November 14. Capt. Holmes was made colonel and was succeeded by Lieut. Thomas, and he by Alfred Wells. Lieut. Wells became captain on November 14, John A. Woodward of Watertown. first lieutenant, and George W. Tucker, second. Private James H. Whiting was destined to become adjutant the next spring. The Zouaves left five days later to become Company H of the same regi- ment, A. Dwight Hopkins of Naugatuck going from here as cap- tain, Birrell and Hurlburt as lieutenants. Capt. Simpson had gone as second lieutenant in Company C, of the Fourteenth, of which S. W. Carpenter of Waterbury was captain and F. J. Seymour, first

ieutenant. Meanwhile Martin B. Smith had recruited Company E of the Eighth, which left here August 30, 1861, as the third egular volunteer company from this city. H. N. Place was irst lieutenant under Capt. Smith, and Luman Wadhams second. :. S. Abbott was also very efficient in procuring recruits, his ommand being Company H of the Twentieth, mustered in on september 1, 1862; he was obliged to resign on account of ill ealth in November.
On August 25, 1862, the town meeting voted a bounty of $100 each recruit in the old regiments and an additional fifty ollars to cover the limitation of the state bounty of fifty dol- irs which expired that day, making a total of $150 for each olunteer; also $100 for each nine-months volunteer and six dol- irs per month to dependent relatives. Waterbury's quota under e call for 600,000 men-half for three years and half for nine Months-was 207. No draft was necessary. Connecticut was the rst state to respond and Waterbury about the first town in the ate. As an illustration of the zeal and patriotism with which tilled artizans as well as men in all other walks of life left teir business to save their country, it may be mentioned that early one-third of the employees of the Waterbury Clock com- iny were to be found in the ranks in the summer of 1862. Nor as the city's mechanical skill and ingenuity to prove unequal to e great demands made upon them by the nation. Aside from the ns of machinery that were turned out and the hundred and one eful articles that were made here, Waterbury furnished two- irds of the brass ornaments worn by the soldiers, an average of e pound to each man in the army .*
In July, 1863, at the time of the New York draft riots and when the northern states were very uneasy with regard to the issue, vernor Buckingham called for volunteers for three months' ser- Te in the state. Waterbury's "alarm" and "home guard" com- 1 nies had gone to the front one after the other, swelling the num- Ir already there until the quota of the town had been exceeded by 1B. S. W. Kellogg, at the request of John P. Elton and others, sed a company of a hundred men in twenty-four hours and sent Torrington for Lieut .- Col. S. H. Perkins of the Fourteenth, en at home recovering from a wound, to take command of it. Mr. llogg and C. S. Abbott were the lieutenants. The company, ignated Company C of the Second battalion, was under the
In March, 1863, a council of the Union League of the United States was organized here which com- 1 the leading men of the city in its membership, and was active and efficient in promoting the cause of thInion in Waterbury.

direct orders of the governor. It drilled two hours every afternoon, besides maintaining a guard at the armory night and day.
The dire threats that had been made, to the effect that certain residences should be destroyed and that no men should ever be drafted, were soon silenced. Also, to quiet the turbulent feeling, the town voted to pay $300 to each drafted person, the money to be paid to the government and not to the men, and the treasurer was authorized to borrow $30,000 on the credit of the town. From time to time the bodies of brave men had been brought home for burial. and the citizens had indicated their tenderest sympathy for the bereaved families. But the whole town as one family was deeply affected when on July 31, 1863, the gallant Col. Chatfield of the Sixth returned mortally wounded. He died on the evening of Sunday, August 9, and was buried in Riverside the following Thursday, with military and Masonic honors. The idol of Waterbury's sol- diery, it was fitting that his name should be given to the military company which was in reality a continuation, at home, of the com- pany he had led to the field.
The home-coming of the Twenty-third regiment in 1863 was made a great event. Companies A and H reached here Tuesday noon, August 25, and were escorted to Hotchkiss hall, Gen. D. B. Hurd acting as marshal. But Col. Holmes had been compelled by ill health to return at an earlier date, and Capt. Wells was in con- finement in a rebel prison.
This year witnessed a revival in the spirit of the state militia. In 1862, with Maj .- Gen. William H. Russell of New Haven in com- mand of two brigades, 1017 men, the legislature had adopted the pay system. Mr. Kellogg, whose zeal gave him the position of major of the Second militia regiment on April 8, 1863, was made colonel in place of C. T. Candee on September 22, 1863. G. W. Tucker was paymaster; P. G. Rockwell, surgeon, and J. Eaton Smith, chaplain.
A new military company was formed in Military hall on Septem- ber 26, with Chandler N. Wayland secretary and a membership of over sixty. E. J. Rice was elected captain. On October 5 the mem- bers of Company A,* Second regiment, voted to consolidate with the new company, which took the name of artillery Company A. Second C. S. M., or the Chatfield guard. At about the same time Company C, Second battalion, Capt. Perkins, was mustered out of the state service, and many joined the new company. The other officers of the new company were:
* As a militia organization this company, most of the members of which went with Company A, Twenty. third Connecticut volunteers, was not disbanded until November 3, 1863.

The citizens had raised a fund of $2500 with which to provide uni- prins for the compamy. John P. Elton was custodian of the fund nd an enthusiastic worker in the cause.
The city's quota under the call of 1863 for " 300,000 more " was 32. For each new man the bounty amounted to $692 in addition o his pay, and to $792 for each veteran. D. S. Morris was recruit- ng agent at large, Lieut. E. M. Neville recruiting officer for he First Connecticut cavalry, and Corp. D. B. Wooster for the econd Heavies, formerly the Nineteenth C. V. The quota was full efore February 1, 1864, at an expense to the town of about $3000, that when the call came for 200,000 more, Waterbury was not icluded in it. The Sixth returned January 21, 1864, and many -enlisted. The draft of July called for 239 men. The town romptly voted $500 for substitutes, $300 for drafted men or sub- itutes and $100 for volunteers, in addition to the state bounty of 300. To meet this it was necessary to borrow $100,000. The quota r the call late in this year was 120, which was also filled.
The militia law was altered again this year, granting five dol- rs each towards the uniforms for the men and allowing four days' campment. Nevertheless, the roll showed but 1485 active mem- rs, not all the towns having followed Waterbury's example. The campment of the Second regiment, Col. Kellogg commanding, was ld in Waterbury that year. The time was from September 13 to ptember 16, and the place the West End meadows, near West ain street, on the banks of the Naugatuck. It was called Camp hatfield. The regiment numbered 420 officers and men. Lynde arrison was paymaster; George E. Terry, sergeant-major, and lvin H. Carter, commissary sergeant. Tompkins's band now arched at the head of the regiment, a position which it held for veral years.
The work of the women and of individual citizens in behalf of Sanitary commission through all these troublous years is serving of an article by itself. Mrs. F. J. Kingsbury was secre- y of the first society. In 1865 the citizens gave $1000, collected 1 F. B. Merriman, to F. J. Kingsbury, the local treasurer of the 1 nmission, as a New Year's present. A society of ladies, of which ss Jennie Warrilon was president, met regularly at the rooms of (

the Young Men's Christian association. In March of that year a fair in Hotchkiss hall netted $1000 for the Soldiers' home in Hart- ford.
In April, 1865, the town gave Buckingham for governor a majority of thirty-two over Seymour, Democrat, and elected F. J. Kingsbury and A. S. Chase, Union, for representatives. On Monday, April 10, the news came that Lee had surrendered to Grant. An impromptu procession was formed, speeches were made and A. B. Wilson fired a national salute from a piece of ordnance in his pos- session. But the Easter Sunday following was turned into a day of deep mourning by the news of the assassination of Lincoln.
As nearly as can be learned from the existing records in this state and in Washington, the enlistments from Waterbury into the service were as follows:
First Connecticut volunteers, 79; Second Connecticut volunteers, I; Third Con- necticut volunteers, 7; First Squadron cavalry, afterward Second New York cavalry, 8; First Connecticut cavalry, 55; First Light battery, 2; Second Light battery. 2; Third Light battery, 5; First Heavy artillery, 60; Second Heavy artillery, 38; Fifth Connecticut volunteers, 38; Sixth, 75; Seventh, 22; Eighth, 37; Ninth, 65: Ninth battalion, II; Tenth Connecticut volunteers, 8; Eleventh, 15; Twelfth, 12; Thirteenth, 13; Thirteenth battalion, 7; Fourteenth Connecticut volunteers, 157; Fifteenth, 34; Eighteenth, I; Twentieth, 66; Twenty-third, 71; Twenty-seventh. 2; Twenty-ninth, 5; Thirtieth (Thirty-first United States colored infantry), 2; Four- teenth United States infantry, 7; band Harland's brigade, 1; Navy, 30; outside of the state, 6.
The grand total, including re-enlistments, is 942.
THE GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC AND ITS ADJUNCTS.
CHATFIELD POST, G. A. R., was organized in February or March, 1865, by Col. Upham of Meriden. The charter members were E. J. Rice and George W. Tucker. For a short time the organization grew and flourished, but the object on which it was based was a political one-namely, to aid the government in opposing such hos- tile movements as that of the Golden circle-and it declined in interest and strength as the necessity of its existence for such an object declined. Its duration was limited to a few months.
WADHAMS POST, No. 49, Department of Connecticut, Grand Army of the Republic, was instituted on August 14, 1879, by Charles E. Fowler, department commander. The organization was the out- come of a canvass among the old soldiers during the early summer. a preliminary meeting having been held at which the objects of the order were explained and a petition for a charter was signed. The charter members numbered thirty-four. The name adopted

vas in honor of three brothers, all of whom were killed in action within the space of sixteen days-Sergt. Edward Wadhams, Company E, Eighth regiment, C. V., killed at Fort Darling, Va., May 16, 1864; Lieut. Henry W. Wadhams, Company K, Fourteenth C. V., killed at North Anna river, Va., May 26, 1864, and Capt. Luman Wadhams, Second Heavy artillery, wounded at Cold Harbor, Va., June 1, 1864, nd died June 3. These men were the sons of Edwin and Mary Tuttle) Wadhams of Goshen. All three brothers enlisted from Vaterbury. Luman had lived here and worked at the machinist's rade about three years. Henry was born in Goshen, August 14, 830. He came to Waterbury in 1857, and on May 13, 1859, married Iary E. Warner. They had one daughter, Jessie M., born February 9, 1860, who was at the front with her mother, visiting the regi- hent on the Rapidan in 1864, celebrating her first leap-year birth ay there .*
The first officers installed were: Commander, Harrison Whit- ey; senior vice-commander, Imri A. Spencer; junior vice-com- ander, Charles Schmidt; quartermaster, George W. Garthwaite; aplain, James W. Davis; officer of the day, John L. Saxe; officer guard, James Perkins; adjutant, Nathan W. Tomlinson; sergeant- ajor, Edward T. Sanford; quartermaster-sergeant, L. H. Schingler. Almost the first patriotic duty of the post was the revival of a ting observance of Memorial day, which for nearly ten years had en allowed to pass without public recognition. The exercises on ay 31, 1880, were elaborate, and popular interest was abundantly anifest. Subscriptions for the expenses of the day were so gen- ous that the sum of $210 remained over and was set aside as a emorial fund for future use. The post was also active and help- 1 in the movement for a soldiers' monument, which engaged pat- otic endeavor for several succeeding years. The "permanent mmittee " appointed by Commander George Robbins on June 17, 30, to further this object, continued in active service until the dication of the monument in 1884. It was composed of George Tucker, Frederick A. Spencer and David B. Hamilton. To the it of the monument ($30,623.46) Wadhams post contributed as an (ganization the sum of $2637, being the net proceeds of a drama ad a fair, and individual members of the post subscribed $1983. I ring the sixteen years of its existence the post has spent over Moo in the relief of suffering comrades and their widows and C hans. It made a generous subscription to the help of the widow

The roster of 1895 shows a membership of 264. The first meetings were held in Bronson's hall, Bank street. On Decem- ber 26, 1879, the post removed into Johnson's hall, on Bank street, and on January 1, 1884, dedicated their present commodious hall in the G. A. R. block, East Main street.
