and Is Found Dead.
Chicago, Nov. 1.-Senator Zachariaf
Chandler, of Michigan, was found deat
in his bed at the Grand Pacific house
this morning. He had been speaking
in Wisconsin, and last night addressed
an immense audience at Mccormick.
hall, in this city, and spoke with bis
usual earnestness. After the meeting
while he and Senator Logan and Hon
Jesse Spaulding were sitting in his
room engaged in conversation, Senator
Chandler complained of Indigestion

sing feeling while en- route to the city
with these gentlemen, Mr.. Spaulding
suggested that he remain over in the
city until Saturday night. But he said
business affairs at home required his
attention, and the order was given to
have him called in the morning at seven
O'Clock. His friends then bade him
good night and left. That was the last
time the senator was seen alive.
This morning when the office boy
called him there was no response. AS
upon repetition the silence prevailed,
the clerk effected an entrance through
the transom, and found that the sena-
tor was dead. The body was not quite
cold, and physician who was present
decided that death had occurred about
three hours previous to discovery. The
face looked tranquil, showing that his
death was painless. The coroner will
hold an inquest.
John b. Drake telegraphed President
Hayes the sad intelligence about eight
O'Clock.
DIR. McVicker, who was Immediately
called, is of the opinion, from partial
examination, that his death was the
result of a sudden congestion of the
lungs. brought about by a cold which
was contracted at GAINESVILLE. The in
quest will be held during the afternoon.
Sorrow over the sad event is universal
and genuine. Flags are at half mast
upon the Pacific and other hotels and
public buildings. The Tribune building
