CAPT. GEORGE A. SHIELDS DEAP. Columbia Loses Valued and Venera-, ble Citizen, Aged 91. Columbia, Au4gpst 3.-Capt. George A. Shields, who had spent Forty-nine of his ninety-one years in Columbia, serving well has adopted State and city, as volunteer fireman, as city councilman, as director of the State penitentiary during the construction of the Columbia canal and as armorer to the Confederate, government Aur ingi the War Between the Sections, died this morning, at 10.20 o'clock, in his home, 631 Laurel street, as the result of a general decline in health, which commenced several weeks ago.' Capt. Shiel'ds was proprietor of the Palmetto Iron Works, this being the long established 'business in- which he was first employed as foreman upon' his arrival in Columbia in 1852. Cart. Shield's wife, Mrs. Mary A. Shields, died about four years ago. He is survived only by two children, Mrs. Robert King and Mrs. Harry Scott, of Birmingham, both of whom lost their husband by death duringj the spring of this year. The funeral arrangements will be announced on' the arrival of Mesdames King and Scott. Capt. Shields at 14 left his home in Scotland. He grew to manhood in. Troy, N. Y. He learned the trades of armorer, founder and machinist in the Watervliet Arsenal at Troy. In 1852 he came to Columbia as foreman for Messrs. Glaze & Boatwright, who operated the arsenal, furnishing arms and munitions of war to the State gov ernment under contract. Capt. Shields! a remained with this firm until about two years after the War Between the Sections, when he took over the prop erty and business himself. Since that time had devoted himself constantly to the business, although no military supplies . have been manufactured there since the war. Local tradition has it that he cast cannon fofi the Con federate government in his foundry, but this Capt. Shields himself denied during an interview with a. newspalfer man a year ago. The work done un der his supervision was mainly the manufacture of Springfield rifles and bayonets, axes and other military sup plies. One of his first tasks after his arrival here was to fit percussion locks to about 6,000 flint-and-steel muskets. When Gen. W. T. Sherman's column approached Columbia, prior to lay ing it in ashes, a Federal battery shelled the city from the Lexington bluffs of the Congaree, and the smoke stack of the Shields Foundery still bears the marks of this bombardment. One of Capt. Shield's treasures was the long brass steam whistle which had been used at the foundery since before his arrival. Capt. Shields was life president of the Palmetto Fire Engine company, and was one of its few surviving ,char ter members. Capt. Shields remained the strong, virile man of his prime, mentally and physically, until very recently. His general health was good. He gave close attention to his business, and he delighted in the fre quent visits of his friends, very many of whom were young men. His acti vity had been somewhat hampered in late years, because of the amputation of his leg two years ago. A slight wound to the foot became gangrenous, and this necessitated the major opera tion, which this iron-nerved man of 89 underwent, it is said, without anaesthesia. " Those who know him need no reminder at this time of Capt. Shields's virtues. He was an upright and well beloved citizen, devotedly attached to his city and always glad to aid her advancement by any means at his command. MANY SHOCKED. Thirteen Injured by Bold of Light ning.-None Were Fatally Hurt. Colmbia State, 5th.
