DIe0 OF HrOAen Heart
NEW YORK, July 5.-Judge McCunn
died at four clock this morning, suddenly.
His death was the result of great mental
depression and grief, caused by the action
of the Senate in removing him from his
office. The Judge was a millionaire.
LATER.-Judge MeCunns death was
not sudden, in the ordinary acceptation
of that word. He bad been ailing for several
days, complaining of q pain in the breast,
and suffering from prostration from the
heat. His physician. was in attendance
several days. Three other doctors were
called in last evening. ......
The scene at his dying bedside was very
affecting, as during the intervals of pain
he constantly repeated that his heart was
breaking. 1t is undoubtedly true that the
recent action of the Senate was the prima-
ry cause of his death. ##t5.t.s#

represent 5000 shares. General Sgperin-

tute mechanics are applying for work to
the Employers Committee.
