LORD BEAcoNsFIELD.
TOUCHING SCENE AT THE PASSING
AWAY OF A GREAT STATESMAN.

TOUCHING SCENE AT THE PASSING
AWAY OF A GREAT STATESMAN.
LONDON, April 19.--One of the late
Lord Beaconstield's medical attendants
gives an account of the last hours of
the distinguished statesman. The
drowsiness which was apparent in the
latter part of last night gradually deep
encd toward midnight into stupor, from
which His Lordship was with difficulty
aroused. He still, however, look nour-
ishment up to half-past one o'clock
this morning. About two O'Clock the
stupor deepened into coma or complete
insensibility, and toward three o'clock
the breathing became very much
embarrassed.
THE APPROCH OF DEATH.
Drs. Kidd and Bruce at once applied
all the usual restoratives for breathing,
but for the first time during illness
there was no response. Seeing the ap-
proach of death DR.. Kidd Immediately
despatched messengers to Lord Bar
rington, Sir Philip Rose and Dr.
Quain. Lord harrington was the first
to arrive, and upon entering The sick
mans room he found Lord Rowton
closely grasping the right hand of the
distinguished patient, in which grasp
Lord Darlington joined. The two
noble lords continued to grasp the
right hand of Lord Beaconsfeld until
the last moment, his left hand being
all the time held in that of DIR. Kidd.
About five minutes before breathing
ceased Sir Philip Rose and DR.. Quain
arrived. Then most placid appear
ance came over His Lordship's face,
which deeply moved all in the room.
THE EAST WIND.
Thus, without struggle, Lord Bea.
Consisted passed away. HIS death came
somewhat suddenly. a few days ago
the cas-. wind which persistenJly blew
for ten days, changed into beautiful
spring weather. The condition of the
noble patient improved and hopes
were entertained of bis conva esceuce;
but the east wind returned yesterday
and by last night the temperature had
fallen to such an extent that during the
| entire bank holiday nue. anxiety was
felt for The noble Earl Although cou-
scious to the last he awaited his death
with much fortitude.
FUNERAL ARRANGEMENT.
The arrangements for the funeral will
be left in charge of the executors, Sir
Philip Pose ami Sir Nathaniel Roths-
child, unless otherwise ordered by the
Queen. The remains will be probably
inferred beside those of his wife at
HughendeD. Dean Stanley has offered
a grave in Westminster Abbey. A cast
OF the dead statesman's features was
successfully taken.
DIVISION OF THE srATEsMAN's PROPER
TY.
The Cuckoo says that Lord Beacons-
fields property will be divided beweeI
his brother, Ralph D'IsraelI, and Lore
| RoWton. Before his death Lord Bea
consfield insisted upon reading all the
medical bulletins re,they, " ere. issued
freely criticising any points not in ac'
cordance with his own opinions. He
believed that his illness would termi.
nate fatally.

ANOTHER "NOT GUILTY"
CONTINUATION OF ELECTION CASES In
THE o. 8. COURT.

THE o. 8. COURT.
When the U. s. District Court reas-
sembled at 10 o'clock this morning,
the jury in the case of the United
States Us. Jacob August, charged with
interfering with Deputy U. s. Marshal
George Wingate, on the day of the last
general election returned verdict of
mot guilty."
The case of the United States Us.
Thomas BriJgeman, charged with as
saulting james Matthews, COL, and in
terfering with Deputy Marshal Jacob
B. Smith, at the Tenth ward polls ON
the day Of the last general election.
The testimony for the rosecution
was that Matthews was arrested on
charge of illegal voting, when Deputy
Marshal attempted TO rescue him.
Smith was endeavoring to 90 to Viii.
helms aid when he was arres ed, aud
handed over TO Bridgeman, speci ii
policeman, who took him to the City
Hall. The Mayor discharged him i'm
mediately.
The prosecution closed, and Coun-
sellor Henry q. Turner, Esq, opened
for the defense, saying they would
prove the Deputy U. S. Marshals were
endeavoring to force in the vote of a
colored man whose right had been de-
MED by the election officers, ana that
when the colored man was arrested
they interfeIed with the lawfully ap-
pointed officers making the arrest, and
thus became violaters of the law IN
stead Of conservators of the peace.
Evidence for the defense is now be-
ing taken.

THE PRICE OF GAS.
THE CONTEST BETWEEN THE COST OF
LIGHTING THE CITY HALL AND THE
STATE HOUSE.

THE CONTEST BETWEEN THE COST OF
LIGHTING THE CITY HALL AND THE
STATE HOUSE.
In the item in yes erday's GAZETTE
contrasting the sum charged for lighting
the City Hall for the past quarter with
that charged for lighting the Stale House
at Dover during the Legislative session
OF more than three months, the contrast
was not intended as some of the gas
company people of this city seem 10
think-to be between the Council Cham
Der and the State House, but between
the entire City Hall and the entire State
House.
AT Dover, for four and five nights each
week during the legislative session Of
fourteen weeks the Senate chamber and
H"use OF represent atives we're brilliantly
Illuminated from six o'clock until twelve
and oftimes one. During the same period
lights were burned in several committee
rooms up stairs, in the parlor, cloak
room, private offices uf the clerks, hall
ways, library aud other down stars
offices, and in the fireman's room and
water closets in the basement. Gas bill
for fourteen weeks, $286. 10.
az thO OiLy Ildll Iuc SOuuCll OudlnuoI
is seldom lighted more than once week,
and rarely later than o'clock. In the
Clerks Office two or three burners are
going on an average five nights of each
week, and the Mayors office is used at
nights not more THAI half dozen times
iii month. In the tower and hallway,
two burners are going every night, but
the public hall is not lighted up once a
week. The greatest consumption is,
OF course, in the public station, where it
is necessary TO keep the lights burning
every night In the State House there
are about eighty burners, which, during
the session were nearly all going por-
ton Of each evening. There are few, il
any, more burners at the City Hall, and
not oftener than once a week are more
than half Of them burning at the same
time. Gas bill for thirteen weeks, $685.
40.
For the City Hall, the price of gas is
$500 per 1000 feet; for the State House,
about $3.50 per 1000 feet. This only
makes the contrast still more obvious.
