McCullough, tho actor,died at hte realdancejn
this city, at five minutes put one o’clock this
afternoon. McCullough's death, although not
entirely unexpected, occurred quite suddenly,
end wu due, u Mr. Hugo Engel, hte phy
sician, uye, to an aOectlon of the Drain,caused
by blood poisoning.
Dr. Engri asserts that McCullough was not
Inuna, and that It wu a mistake
lo have placed him in Bloomlngdalo Insane
asylum, where he wu oonllned for a numbi
of weeks. He wu brought from the uylm
to this olty Sunday night, October JS, just two
weeks ego, and taken to tbe residesoe of hte
family, where he died. At that time he recog
nised no one, not even bie wife nor hte two
eons, and had no control of hte muulea except
a little over those ol hte right arm. He re
gained the use of hte Umbe slowly, and In s
law days wu able to rates himulf to a sitting
posture. Ha continued in about this urns
condition until today.

About dark Friday night the rains took pos-
