Fate Drags Major Francis Walker to Vagrant's Cell—Career Heads Like Novel. COLUMBIA, S. C„ July 31.—Major Francis Douglass Walker, 72 years old, is dead at the Home for Confed erate Soldiers here. He was a mem ber of the Pinckney family and fought in many big battles of the war between the states. After the war he went to New York City to enter business and was for a time prominent in social circles, fn 1908 r after a series of financial losses, he jvas sent to Blackwell’s Island as a vagrant. Major Walker was aent here by a group of wealthy New York women of Southern birth, who arranged a ba zaar in his benefit at the Waldorf-As toria. Major Walker was a cadet at the Military Academy in Charleston when the first Confederate gun was fir^d at P'ort Sumter. He jumped trytn the classroom and ran to the water’s edge, four classmates with him. There was no boat, so they swam half a mile to the Ironclad Battery which helped j batter the Federal fortress Into sub- j mission. Flogs Rival on Stage. In the winter of 1877 Walker was the chief actor in an event that stirred Brooklyn’s society folk and became a national sensation. One night in the old Academy of Music, where the Amaranth Society wc.s giv ing an amateur performance, Walker jumped on the stage and horsewhip ped a player who was his rival for the love of a young widow. Walker ! had warned him not to appear in the same caat with the woman. The man ! Walker whipped later became vice president of one of the, most impor tant corporations in the world and the husband of the young woman. Walker was arrested for assault. After a trial he was sentenced to 60 days in the penitentiary on Crow Hill. His lawyers soon got him out of Jail and a petition was started o his behalf, which was signed by Hen ry Ward Beecher. A letter from Gov ernor Hampden to Governor Robinson turned the tide in his favor. He did not return to the penitentiary. He tK.vpled for. many years and then poverty overtook him. Asks Shelter; Sent to Jail. One night in the fall of 1908 a tail man with snow’ white hair stood be-, fore Magistrate Tighe in the Adams police court in Brooklyn and asked for a night’s lodging. It was Major Walker. The Magistrate could do nothing but commit him to the pen itentiary for six months. Then, through the co-operation of the Con federate Veteran Camp of New York, and the U. S. Grant Post, G. A. R., of Brooklyn, the Major was trane- ferred to the King’s County Alms house. Wealthy women of Southern birth heard of Walker’s troubles. They or ganized a bazaar at the Waldorf-As toria on January 14, 1909, and $3,000 was raised for his benefit. With this money he was sent to the Soldiers’ Home at Columbia,, where friends got a clerical position for him. Major Walker had outlived all his relatives. TO VOTE ON SCHOOL TAX.
