very comfortable night--far better than was ex-
pected-and at o'clock sleeping qnietIy
The President had rigor at $50 a. m which lasted
nearly twenty minutes, and was quite severe It
was followed by febrile rise. The President slept
some after it subsidized, but was awake about lO
O'Clock, when he took "A small quantity of noursh-
inent The frequency OF the chils occasionod grave
anxiety DIR. Bliss was o. opinion thai If the rigors
continued for forty-cght hours the President could
not live
DR.. Boynton said that during the prevalence of
the rigor the Presidents pulse went up to 10 beats
and was very feeble. The patient was extremely
weak.
DIR. kgnew said at IL that the situation was
decidedly gloomy, and could not well be worse The
President had not rallied rs usual from the effects
'of the rigor. Much excitement prevailed, and the
worst fears were entertained.
The guards about the Francklyn Cottage were
now ordered, in the of the Presidents demise
to extend their picket lines so that no one could
approach the house without express authority. II
was also decided to monopolizo the only telegraph
wire chat runs to Eberon, although press dispatches
may nave to be sent two miles by courier the Office
1 at the West End Hotel being the nearest point
where direct communication be obtained.
Soon after noon Secretary Hunt came from
the Franckyn Cottage. He said the Prcsi-
dent was sleeping quietly and that there
was material change i'll his condition
In the afternoon DR.. Boynton, in conversations said
that the President passed the most quiet night he

then explained the occurrence of the rgor. 1t ap-

dressing was in progress, and that the
dressing had to be stopped on ac-

DR.. Boynton expected the patient to rally from

was cause for the grayest apprehension.

PAINLESS PASSING AWAY.
President Garfield is dead. His death was
uuexpected, no previous conditions having
civen warning of immediate dissolution. The
Cabinet had withdrawn last night, and the
physicians had retired. A severe pain IN the
heart was followed almost Immediately by
death, which took place at 1885 p. IN.
In the morning he was attacked by a severe
chill which greatly weakened him. Toward
noon, however, he rallied, and throughout the
afternoon he rested and slept. During the day
he called for a looking glass, and having
gazed into it, observed that il was strange
that he could look so bright and be so weak.
Shortly before 10 o'clock last night Or. Bliss
asked the President if he felt uncomfortable
anywhere and he answered " Not Mt all.
The President then fell asleep, and DR.. Bliss
withdrew. About fifteen minutes after 10
o'clock the President placed his hand near his
heart and said he was suffering great pain.
DR.. Bliss returned Immediately and found the
President unconscious. The pulse and the ac-
ton of the heart were almost imperceptible. DR..
Bliss said that the President was dying and di-
rected the attendants to send for Mrs. Gar
field and Drs. Agnew and Hamilton. The
President remained in dying condition for
about twenty minutes, when life was declared
to be extinct.
All the members of the Cabinet except Sec
retaries Blaine and Lincoln were at Elberon
at the fatal moment. They sent
Immediately a dispatch so General Ar
thur asking him to take the oath of Office at
once and proceed to Elberon.
The sad news of the Presidents
death spread rapidly throughout the
country, and caused profound sensation.
Bells were tolled, and preparations were made
to drape the public buildings.

lBY TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRIBUYE.l
LONG BRANCH, Sept. 19.-One of those present
in the chamber of death at the fatal moment thus
describes the scene to me:
"There were present when the President awoke
only General Swain and Colonel Rockwell, but all
the attendants were speedily summoned. Mrs. Gar
field, Drs Bliss, Hamilton, Boynton, and Col
onel Rockwell and Private Secretary Brown
reached the room within few moments Mrs.
Garfield sat upon the bedside holding the hand of
her dying husband. DR.. Hamilton stood on the op-
posite side and others grouped about the
President, who was unconscious even before the
first of those summoned reached the chamber. No
other persons were in the room. Mrs. Colonel
Rockwell with her daughter and Miss Mollie Gar
field sat upon a lounge in the hall The coloreti
servants of the Francllyn Cottage were grouped
outside the door of the sick room peeping IL.
"The President breathing heavily and at
increasing intervals The doctors whispered to
each other two three times but aside from this
word was spoken. Two or three sighs and some
suppressed sobbing heard from groups Of
negroes in the door. but all the rest were silent
The heavy breathing of the President continued for
about fifteen minutes, and then ceased. Conscious.
ness did not return. Death was absolutely painless
When all was Mrs. Garfield quietly withdrew
to her room. DIR. Hamilton snoothed the features
of the dead President, and the other physicians and
attendants Strengthened his limbs
Mrs. Garfield returned about half an hour later,
and sat silently upon the bedside, the tears running
in Hoods over her cheeks but her whole demcanor
manfesting her heroic spirit and scf-control in this
the supreme hour of her griefn

Guards are doubled about the house of death and

the would-be visitor is turned back.

And stung him to the quick with poisoned shaft
The while he chattcd careleSsly and laughed,
And knew not of the fateful mischief done.
And so this life, amid our love begun,
Envenomed by the insects heilish craft.
Was drunk by Death in onelong feverish draught
And he was lost-our precious, priceless one!
Oh, mystery of blind, Temorscless fate
Oh, cruel end of most causcess hate!
That life SO mean should murder life so great!

Who have no remedy. and no appeal,
But damn the wasp and crush him under heel?

good ground for encouragement
DIR. Bliss had retired after hearing from the
President in person that he felt entirely comfort
