 PANAMA, March 15.-On account of illness nearly all work at the several stations on the line of the canal is at a standstill Fever and dysentery have prevailed among the entire staff of officers, particularly at Empire, and smallpox has broken out among the lab orers but it is said to be of mild nature Many cases of smallpox of mild character have appeared in Guatemala. In the department of Chenaltenango 15O Indians died in brief period from typhoid fever.
 The remains of General Fitzpatrick are to be removed from Santiago to the United States, it is rumored
 Rumor in Chili asserts that Walker Blaine is about to be married to a Chilian lady, the daughter of oA-Iuiu;ster of that republic to the United States. Balls and banquets are succeeding one another with great rapidity at Valparaiso, and at all of them Prescott and Blaine seem most honored guests. It is ex- pected that Prescott will shortly return to the United States, leaving Blaine behind as acting American minister

Death of the Poet LongfeIIOw-PrOfOund
 Sorrow Among His Fellow Citizens.
 CAMBRIDGE, March 24 The death of the poet Longfellow this afternoon has called forth more profound sorrow than .the death of any Massachusetts man since Sumner passed away. Indeed Longfellow had moro hold on the hearts of people than any other character of the generation. The grief is no the least intense among the children, hun dreds of whom knew the poet as friends. The details of his sickness and death as given by Dr. Wyman, the family physician, are as fol- lows He had suffered from nervous trouble for two years, but last Saturday was in his usual health. In the afternoon he walked for some time on the piazza of his Brattle street residence, the house which was Wash ington's headquarters du ring the revolution and in which he had lived since 1887. Late in the day he felt chilled and during the night was attacked with vomiting and the usual symptoms of inflammation of the bowels This lasted through Sunday, but during Sun day night by the us of opiates he got some rest. Monday he was more comfortable, but Monday evening it was evident that he was dangerously ill. The family were notife and his son-in law, R. H. Dana, who was
 making arrangements for a trip to Europe,
 was advised to delay the same. By Wednes-
 day nearly all pain had left him and he slept
 much, also on Thursday he was very drowsy. During Thursday night and to-day he was conscious but little, his breathing difficult Signs of immediate dissolution were present He passed away as he lived, peacefully and quietly at 3:15 p. m., surrounded by his chil-
 dren, Earnest the artist and his wife, Charles,
 Alice, Edith and Annie, Edith being the wife of R. H. Dana. The bells at once tolled his age, seventy-fve. Mayor Fox also ordered
 the bells tolled at the funeral and bushes s
 places will be generally closed and the flags | hung at half mast
 The funeral of Longfellow will occur un-
 day or Monday and will be strictly private The day will be given to mourning and pray CT.
 LONDON, March 25-The news of the 1 death of the poet Longfellow was received | here too late for the morning journals to give
 a detailed announcement. They all, howev-
 CT make short notices, which are fervid and 1 sympathetic in tone.
 PHILADELPHIA, Pa., March 24.-Rev Sam
 uel Longfellow, pastor of the Unitarian church at Germantown, brother of the dead poet, left here this morning on receipt
 of telegram from Boston of his brothers | alarming condition, but too late to be on ! hand at the last moment.

Double Execution at Interchangeable
 erEyents of HanSman's Day.
 HARRISBURG, March 24.-Frank and Henry Rumberger were hanged at 1O:40 o'clock this morning. The crime for which they suf- fered the extreme penalty of the law was the murder of Daniel Troutman on the 14th of November, 1880, at his home in the upper end of Dauphin county. The men broke into his house for robbery Troutman shot at one of them as he was fleeing, but the other shot and killed him. Troutman's dying statement implicated Henry Rumberger, but Frank confessed that he fired the fatal shot, The two were not relatives. Both men slept well, and were called at half-past five this morning Between the time for breakfast and the arrival of their spiritual ad visers both meDdevoted themselves to their spiritual wei fare. At half-past 10 they were notified to prepare for death. They announced them selves as ready, and were at once conducted to the scafold, both mounting it with firm tread. The religious ceremonies were very brief. Sheriff Sheesey and his four assist ants immediately proceeded to execute the law. After the drop fell the bodies made but few oontortions. There were in attendance $50 spectators.
 ANGELICA, N. Y., March 24.-John Me- Carthy was hanged here at noon to-day for the murder of Mackay at Richburg Alleghe- ny county, in December last. He made statement that he would commit the same crime under the same circumstances again, as he killed Mackay in self-defense. MIDDLEBURG, Pa, March 24.-Jonathan Mayer one Of the murderers of Kintzing, was hanged here at Il o'clock this morning. He made confessions from the scaffold impli- eating Ettinger Nader, arrested as one of the accomplices, but entirely exonerating Erb, the other. and stating that the plunder for which the murder was committed amounted to only $75.
 CLEARFIELD, Pa, March 24.-John N. Nevling was hung to day for the murder of Samuel Pennington February 17th, 1880. The condemned man mounted the scaffold at 1925 a. m., drew a case knife from his bo- som and exhibiting it to the spectators said he could have committed suicide but refused to do so. The rope was then placed around his neck and the drop was sprung. The fall broke his neck. At 10:45 the man was pro- nounced dead.

 WASHINGTON, March 24.-Mr Scovile says it will probably take till Monday or Tuesday for counsel to dispose of the bill of exceptions in Guiteau's case. A conference was had this morning between Mir. Scoville and MT Davidge, but nothing final will be done til John w. Guiteau's arrival. He is expected here on this business to-day or tomorrow As soon as the matter is arranged MT. Sco- vile will formally withdraw from the case. He feels that there is practically no chance for his client, and Guiteau's animosity to him has become so outrageous that he finds him self obliged to abandon him to his fate. No other lawyer has yet undertaken to conduct the defense.
