END WAS CALM AND PEACEFUL Atany Hours of Unconsciousness Preceded Final Demise—lllness Was of Short Duration. General Benjamin Harrison died at his home in Indianapolis Wednesday afternoon at 4:45 o’clock. His death was quiet and painless, there being a gradual sinking until the end came, which was marked by a single gasp for breath as life departed from the body of the great statesman. The rel atives, with a few exceptions, and several of his old and tried friends were at the former president’s bedside when he passed away. The general’s condition was so bad in the early morning, after a restless night, that the attending physicians understood that the end could not be far off, and all bulletins sent out from the sick room were to this effect, so that the family and friends were pre pared when the final blow came. The gradual failing of the remarkable strength shown by the patient became more noliceable in the afternoon, and there was an apparent break down on the par of the sufferer, as he sur rendered to the disease against which he had been so bravely battling for so many hours. The chauge was noticed by the physicians and the relatives and friends who had retired from the sick room to the library be- U%- ftjr flmfa GENERAL HARRISON. low were quickly summoned, and reached the bedside of the general be fore he passed away. News of the death spread quickly through the city and several of the more intimate friends at once hurried to the Harrison residence. The word was flashed from the bulletins of all the newspapers and thus communica ted to the people on their way home in the evening. The announcement produced the greatest sorrow. Within a few moments the flags on all the public buildings and most of the down town business blocks were hoisted at half mast and other outward manifest ations of mourning were made. General Harrison had been uncon scious for hours before his death, the exact time when he passed into a com atose state being difficult to deter mine. He spoke to no one during the day, failing to recognize even his wife. The greater part of Tuesday, also, he was in a semi-comatose con dition, although he was at times able to recognize those at his bedside. None of General Harrison’s children were present at his death. Neither Colonel Russell Harrison nor Mrs. McKee had reached the city, although both were hurrying on their way to the bedside of their dying parent as fast as steam could carry them. Elizabeth, General Harrison’s little daughter, had been taken from the sick room by her nurse before the end came. The group at the bedside included Mrs. HarrisoD, William H. A. Miller, Samuel Miller, his son, Rv. Dr. M. L. Haines, pastor of the Fifth Presby terian church, which General Harri son had attended for so many years, Secretary Tibbets, Drs. Jameson and Dorsey; Colonel Daniel M. Randsdell, sergeant-at-arms of the United States Senate and a close personal friend ef the dead ex president, Clifford Arrick and the two nurses who have beeu in constant attendance. General Harri son’s two sisters aud an aunt were also present. The general’s little daughter, Eliza beth, was brought into the room for a few moments to see her father, and of fered him a small apple pie which she herself had tzzl General Harrison smiled his recognition of the child and her gift, but the effort to speak was too much aud he could do nothing more to express his appreciation. Wednesday all efforts to arouse the slowly dying man to consciousness failed, and he died without a word of recognition to any of those who sur rounded his bedside. Minde- Sentenced to Die. I. Minder, the Macon, Ga., tailor who last fall stabbed Andy Mahoney, another tailor, to death, was convicted of murder aud sentenced to hang on April 30th. Gift For Utah Library. Andrew Carnegie has offered to give 825,000 to the Ogden Library Assogj- From one who was present at the death-bed it is learned that the allega tions of cruelty and injustice dealt out by England to the Boers in their strug gle for liberty had been a subject for thought in the mind of General Harri son. In his semi-conscious condition, when the sentinels of discretion and propriety had gone from their posts and the mind of the man was wander ing, he began to speak of the Boers and their hopeless struggle for na tional life. His voice was weak and trembling, his thoughts were not con nected, but the listeners bending over him could hear words of pity for the dying farmer republics. A deep interest was manifested throughout all the executive depart ments in Washington in the reports that came as to the condition of ex- President Harrison. As office hours had closed for the day before the end came, the first official action regard ing the death were deierred until Thursday. It was decided at a meeting of Gov ernor Durbiu with other state officers that the body of General Harrison should lie in state in the rotnnda of the capitol all day Saturday. The highest honors which are in the power of the state of Indiana to pr.y will be rendered to General Harrison. It was decided to ask the former mem bers of his cabinet to be General Har rison’s honorary pallbearers. Notices to this effect were pent to ex-Secretary of State John W. Foster, Mexico; Sec retary of the Treasury Charles W. Foster, Fostoria, O.; Secretary of War Stephen B. Elkins, Elkins, W. Ya.; Secretary of Navy Benjamin F. Tra cey, New York; Secretary of Interior John W. Noble, St. Louis; Postmaster- General John Wanamaker, Philadel phia; Commissioner of Agriculture Jeremiah M. Rusk, Milwaukee. General Harrison’s wealth is vari ously estimated, public opinion rating it as high as half a million dollars. Those who are best informed about the dead ex-president’s financial af fairs, however, say that he was worth about two hundred and fifty or three hundred thousand dollars. At the time he was elected president he was reputed to have accumulated a fortune of $125,000 from his law practice and this has been doubled at least since that time. Of late his practice, owing to his great reputation as a constitu tional lawyer, was very lucrative. His fee in the Venezuelan boundary dispute, in which he represented the South American republic, was SIOO,- 000. SNOW BLOCKS TRAFFIC. Severest Storm On Record Prevails In the Northwest. A special of Wednesday from Grand Rapids, Mich., says: Raging along the entire coast of lake Michigan north of Grand Rapids, and reaching out over the Saginaw valley is one of the most disastrous storms in years. Rail road reports show that all lines are blocked and that not a train on the Grand Rapids and Indiana or the Pere Marquette north and northeast is able to move. So far the winds have been southeasterly, but railroad men fear I that it is turning to northwesterly and that the worst is yet to come. Five passenger trains are stalled be tween Grand Rapids and Mackinaw City. Two Pere Marquette passenger trains are fast in the snow and are rapidly being snowed in completely, and there are freight trains out on both lines which are banked in with walls of snow and frozen slush. Rail road men say that the storm is one of the worst that they have ever encoun tered. The strength of the blizzard may be understood when it is known that the windows of the coaches and the cabs of the engines were in some instances broken in. The trainmen in reporting from the north say that their situa tions are perilous and ask for immedi ate aid. They say the snow is falling in clone’s aud that they are unable to assist themselves. Bia-HEARIbD PHILANTHROPIST. Carnegie Donates Millions to Aid His Old Employees. Two letters from Andrew Carnegie, made public at Pittsburg Wednesday, tell of his retirement from active bus iness life and of his donation of 85,000,000 tor the endowment of a fund for superannuated and disabled employees of the Carnegie company. This benefaction is by far the largest of the many created by Mr. Carnegie, and is probably without a counterpart in the world. This fuud will in no wise interfere with the continuance of the savings fuud established by the company fif teen years ago for the benefit of its employees. In this latter fuud nearly 82.000,000 of the employees’ savings are on deposit. NOTED ATTORNEY DEAD. Colonel Clitt Made Remarkable Record as Criminal Lawyer. Colonel W.

CLOTURE RULE WAS APPLIED t he Fight Was Short and Sharp, fleasure Now Goes to Gov ernor For Action. A special from Annapolis, Md., states that the Democratic majority in the senate, after a tedious session Thursday, lasting from 11 a. m. until 8 p. ni., aided by the application of the clotnre rule, succeeded in passing the “disfranchisement” bill by a vote of 14 to 11, a strictly party division. The session opened with a spirited squabble over the engrossment of the bill, the Republican members of the engrossing committee claiming that the committee had not been called to gether by its Democratic chairman and insisting that they bad not been afforded an opportunity to compare the engrossed copy with the original. A motion to recommend it to the committee was lost, us was also a mo tion to make the lull the special orde* for 4 o’clock. Tlrm, just ns the presi dent of the senate was about to de clare the bill oii its final passage arid order a call of the roll, thus shutting off debate, Senator Wilkinson, of Ht, Mary’s county, obtained recognition and proceeded to discuss the provis ions of the bill at length. He was fol lowed by several oiher Republican senators, with the evident intention of wearing the Democrats out, but at 7:30 ji. m. the president cut. off further debate and the bill was passed. It now goes to the bouse for con currence in the senate amendments. There has been some talk to the effect that the Democratic leaders in the house will noo-concnr in some of these, in which event the passage of the lull in that branch may be delay ed, but the concensus of opinion > that no further obstacle will be placed in its way, aud that it will go to the governor for his signature. During the tight in the senate form er United States Senator Gorman sail in the private room of the president of the senate, adjoining the senate chamber, and directed the Democrat ic forces.

Faure, February 23, 189 U, A duel will follow. Count de Castellaue interpreted a ; paragraph in The Figaro as alluding jto him. Boni was accompanied | by his father, the Marquis de Oastel l lane, and a newspaper friend, M. Dorel. They proceeded to the resi dence of M. de Rodays, in tho Rue de La Chaussee D’Antin, situated in the center of Paris.

Count de Castellaue said: “You published in The Figaro this morning au abominable paragraph against me.” M. de Rodays replied that be did not understand what the count meant, to which the latter reported hotly: “Will you retract or not?” To this M. de Rodays replied by ex plaining that the paragraph was courte ously couched and that no mention was made of the name of Count de Castellane. Then, without further ado, Count de Castellane boxed M. do ltodays’s ears severely aud repeatedly. M. de Rodays, who was seated,recoiled and M. de Castellane followed him up and slapped his face again. The Marquis de Castellane and M.
