GORRINGE. Death of the Ex-Lieutenant-Com- mander of the United States Navy. Early Fondness for Sea Life—Rapid Promotion of the Young Volunteer— Gallant Service in the Late Civil War — Gorringo’s Removal of the Egyptian Obelisk — Close of an Honorable and Busy Life. By ‘Telegrath te the Post-Dispatoh, New York, July 7.—Mr. Henry H. Gorringe, for- merly Lieutenant-Commander of the United States Navy, died yesterday afternoon at the Benedick Flats, where he has been stopping since the acci- dent which happened to him last fail, and from which he never recovered. He was attend by Dr. W. H. Draper of this city and by Dr. Heiland of Philadelphia, who was his brotherr-in-law. Mrs. Heiland, bis sister, has been with him for some time, and all thatthe most careful nursing could effect was done to make his last hours as comfort- able as possible, Though Mr. Gorringe will always be best knewn from his connection with the great obelisk in Central Park. he has hada life of other incidents sufficient to galu for him something more than a passing notice. He wasbornat Barbadoes and was the son of aclergyman ofthe Church of England, who, immediately after taking his degree at Oxford, went there and married the daughter of a _ fellow-clergyman. Their son had the best education that the island afforded, but at an early age he became enamored of à sea life, and he quietly informed his father that if he did not permit him to go, he should run away. His father persuaded him to wait one year, and, then, at the age of 14. he permitted him to go, and at the age of 19 he had the position of chief mate in a New York ship, and soon after was promoted to be captain. ENTERS THE UNITED STATES NAVY. When the war broke out he entered the United States Navy trom 8 * as 8 volumeer acting master’s mate. e served through the war in the Misissippi squadron, was in all the fighting under Farragut, and was three times promoied for gailantry in action. At the close of the war he commanded the steamer Mem- puis for a couple of years, and in 1868 he was made a regular officer of the Navy, with the rank of Lieutenant Commander, and stationed at the New York Navy Yard. From 1869 to 1871 he commanded the Portsmouth and was attached to the South Atlantic From this duty he was called and tor four years, 1876, he was attached to the hydrographic office. He. however, fretted at the confinement of shore duty, and was, at his special request, send on the Gettysburg on special service in the Mediterranean. When Mr. William H. Vanderbilt determined to secure for hig native city the gift of the Kuedive, by paying the ex- uses of transporting the obelisk to New York, he loomed about for some fit person to be entrusted with the work of carrying out his pian, aud, on applica- tion to the Navy Department, Lieutenant Com- mander Gorringe was at once selected and grant- ed a furieugh. He entered upon the work with big accustomed @nergy, and being unable to char- ter a proper vessel to bring his valuable freight, be purchased the steamer Dessough. then in the ptian mail service,aitered her to suit the pur- pow or woich he wanted her and to get he from its perpendicular to a horizontal position to get it on board.

Secretary Chandler at once proceeded to discipline him for tuis, and Mr. Gorringe resigned, and was soon heard of again as the president of the American Ship Building Company, wnich had among its incorporators Cornelius Vanderbilt. J. F. James, Charles M. Fry, Henry C. Pedder and James A. Roosevelt. Its stock was capitilized at $250,000. The yard of the Pulladelphia and Reading Road. at Philadeiphia, was purchased and the intent was to buiid iron ships on a scale of magnitude hither unknown in this country. ‘ THE ENTERPRISE WAS A FAILURE. It came into competition with three larger estab- lishments, and there was not business enough to sustain it. After its failure, Mr. Gerringe was made receiver of the company and was engaged in settling its affairs when the accident occurred which cost him his life. He was on his way from this city to the yard, and, finding that the train was not going to stop at the station nearest the yard, he jumped from it while it was in motion and re- ceived a severe spinal injury which resulted in the entire paralyzation of lus lower limbs. He was brought to this city, and, as stated, er nursed until death put an end to his suffering. Mr. Gor- ringe was uowarried and bis oniy relative is his sister. Mrs. Dr. Heiiand. His mother, to whom be was devotedly attached, died within @ year in Philadelphia. Mr. Gorriage was a member of Angio-Saxon Lodge No. 187, F. & A.
