Well Known Telephone Man
Dies Near Washington.
DEMISE DUE TO MANY DISEASES
{tendered Important Service to the Bell
Company, of Which lie Was a Director,
Installing; Fine >y a terns In the Orient
and Russia—An Earnest Government
Telegraph Control Advocate.
Washington, Dec. 11.—Gardiner G.
Hubbard, a director in the Bell Tele
phone company, and well known to pub
lic men, scientists and financiers, died
at “Twin Oaks,” his suburban residence,
a few miles from the city. His death
was due to a complication of diseases
and to age, he being in his seventy-sixth
year. He had been in poor health for
some time, but it was not until a few
days ago that his condition became
alarming.
Mr. Hubbard was of New England
ancestry and his progenitors had occu
pied a prominent place in the history of
the commonwealth of Massachusetts.
He was born in 1822 and was graduated
from Dartmouth in 1841. He then en
tered the law school at Cambridge and
on admission to the bar practiced law
in Boston until 1873, when he removed
to Washington to secure a milder cli
mate. He early became interested in
the Bell telephone and in 1878 retired
from the practice of law to devote him
self to its interest. He was the con
trolling spirit in its financial affairs
during the next five years.
After it was introduced successfully
in this country, he crossed to the Old
World and organized the International,
Oriental and other companies. He se
cured important concessions from the
Russian government and installed a
splendid system in the empire of the
csar. His next important service for
the company was in connection with the
celebrated Berliner patent, which he so
managed as to prolong greatly the Bell
company’s control of the telephone field.
Prior to coming he
had been connected with several impor
tant enterprises of Cambridge and also
had taken an active interest iu dej'f

AGED WOMAN STILL ALIVE.
Looks Like Airs. McKinley Will Survive
the Day and Possibly Louder.
Oanton, 0., Dea 11.—After a night
of the greatest anxiety, culminating in
a sinking spell at 6a. m., the children
and other watching friends at the bed
side of Mother McKinley are bidden by
the attending physician to hope that
the patient will survive the day and
possibly longer. This hope grows out
of a rally from the sinking spell and the
ability to take a little nourishment.
The doctor was with the patient much
later than usual and made his morning
call considerably later. After his ex
amination at 9:30, he said Mrs. McKin
ley was in much the same condition
and he felt that there was strong rea
sons for hoping that she would survive
the day. He says she is somewhat
weaker than heretofore, but that the
wearing away by weakness is by very
slow degrees.
The fact that the patient has been
able to take so little nourishment has
given rise to the fear that death must
result from starvation, if from no other
cause, within a short time. Concerning
this phase of the case the doctor sayj
she shows no evidence of such a result.
Her muscles continue well rounded and
she shows little trace of emaciation.
She could, he thinks, survive from 1) td
20 days without food in the conditions
which have prevailed, were there nd
other canse for a different result. Hd
says it is lack of mental and physical
vitality and the lack of a foundation ou
which to rebuild these which occasioui
the steady sinking away. 4

COUNTERFEIT ER SENT UP.
The Last of a Notorious Gang of “Queer
■>hovers” Goes to the i’eu.
Birmingham, Ala., Dec. 11.—In the
United States court here, Judge Boar
man sentenced James R. Bishop of
Cherokee county to four years’ impris
onment in the federal penitentiary for
Counterfeiting. Bishop is the last of a
notorious gang of makers and shovers
of the queer who have operated for years
in the mountains of northe -st Alabama,
two others having plead guilty a year
ago, and are now serving terms in
prison.
There were 11 indictments against
Bishop, and his trial lasted for several
days. It was shown that he had the
most complete counterfeiter’s outfit ever
discovered by the secret service officers
in this state, and that he and his gang
made spurious dollars, halves and quar
ters with such precision that they rea< -
ily passed for the genuine everywhere
except at the banks, where experts han
dled them.
W. H. Forsyth of the United States
secret service ran down Bishop’s gang
after much trouble, and captured the
entire outfit. It developed that the
counterfeiters had coined a great deal
of money, using almost as much silver
as is found in tiie genuine coms.
When the verdict in Bishop's case
was announced his wife, who was i;i
court, became hysterical and created
quite a scene, throwing her arms about
her husband’s neck and imploring the
judge to have mercy.
On this account Judge Boarman, as
he said, did not give Bishop the fu.l
limit of the law. which is ten years.
JUDGESHIP FIGHT NOW ON.
Battle Between G-snh Over a I’lace on
the AlHbainn Supreme Bench.
Montgomery, Ala.. Dec. 11. —The
supreme court judgeship’s contest in
this state has awakened as much inter
est perhaps as has any campaign since
Houston’s.
It is a battle between giants all the
way through. Onief Justice Brickell is
not a candidate for re-election. The
nomination to his high place is being
sought by Associate Justices McClel
land and Coleman. Each is an exceed
ingly able man and learned judge ami
each has a following that is working
untiringly for the success of its favorite.
Justice McC.ehand is from Athens, in
North Alabama. Ju<tibs Coleman is
from Greene, in the southwestern quar
ter of the state.
There are lour seats on the associate
bench. Associate J ustices Hea iof Jef
ferson ami Harralsoii of Dalias will asl*
for renominatiou. Circuit Judge Job i
R. Tyson of Montgomery, Chancen-t
J. R. Dowdeil of Chambers, City Court
Judge Henry A. Sharpe of Jefferson,
and Hon. R. T. Simpson of Lauderdale,
are aspirants to the associate judgeship
nomination. It is apparent that two ol
them must fail of election. Each ou 1
of these gentlemen has several neigh
bnd'in can.ties and an army.of friend)

"And I would feel about any other case
of cruelty by an officer to a man in the
ranks as I expressed myself as feeling
in the Lovering case. Punishment of
such conduct cannot be too severe. I
could not, however, suggest any way
to abolisn cruelty in the army, because
