Prof. Increase Allen Lapham fell dead
yesterday afternoon at about six O'Clock in
a boat in which he was returning from n

sad event is public calamity, and citizens
of the whole country and of Europe are in
terestcd. About two years ago DR.. Lapham
was stricken down with heart disease while
listening to lecture being delivered before
the St Andrews Society, by Prof. James
MacAlister. Last winter he was again pros
trated while in Tesch's drug store but
prompt medical assistance relieved him in
each case, and he recovered quickly. His
sons were put on their guard by these at
taeks and made ii rule 10 accompany him
ever afterward whenever he undertook any
journey or work that promised to re-
quire extra exertion The physicians stated
that the trouble was that the professors
heart refused to supply q sufficient quaint
ty of blood in cases of over-eXertion Dur
ing the past summer the professor has been
residing with his sons, Henry and Charles,
at their farm near Oconomowoc. His health
seemed very good, and he was in excellent
spirits. 1t was common for him to get into
the rowboat and pun off for few hours
fishing in Oconomowoc Lake--but some one
of his family used TO make it point to ac-
company him. Yesterday he seemed to bc
in very good health, and about one o'clock
told his daughter that he was going out To
fish. and as he had had rather poor luck sew
eral times before, was going 10 stay until he
succeeded in getting good string. His son
was obliged TO 90 To Oconomowoc, and
his daughter WAS very busy about the house,
aud SO the professor went ont alone. About
