An article published by me in the Bal

a large multitude Of people assembled to

more.-lle fell from his chair in an apo
plectic fit, and Immediately expired. This
took place 10 the year 1890 and he was,
by this visitation Of Providence, deprived
OF the honor and rewards due 10 the most
useful and interesting discovery that has
succeeded STAGE the creation Of the world.
Mr.. Fulton was in England al tha, tune,
