CONCORD, April N.-The very worst
fears have been realized. After week
and days prostration, which threat
ened to end fatally from the beginning,
Ralph Waldo Emerson, poet, philoso-
pher and author, passed quietly away
at9:l0 o'clock this evening. Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday of the pres
ent week were days Of anxious suS-
pense to the stricken family and be-
reaved townsmen, for during this
period there was
THE FAINTEsT POSSIBLE HOPE
that the disease would take favorable
turn. While the patient did not seem
to visibly improve during these days,
yet it could not be perceived that he
was absolutely failing. He did not
suffer extraordinary pain, and his rest
for the most part seemed healthy and
undisturbed. During his hours Of
wakefulness he was not always ration

had shown unmistakable signs of weak
ening for several months. Early this
morning, however, it was apparent
that the end was not far of, though it
was hardly believed that dissolution
would ensue for day or two. A high
fever had set in during the night, and
the vitality of much stronger man
would not have resisted it. During
the early morning be sent for one of
his neighbors, but when he arrived the
patient was delirious and his articula-
tion incoherent. In the middle of the
forenoon, however, he rallied, and at
noon he

He knew that he was i'll and thanked
his friends for their interest in his
welfare, but at no time during his
lucid moments did he ever betray
the least anxiety as to his recovery,

TO REACH HOME.
At about Z o'clock this morning
Gust at twilight) the patient began to
sink rapidly. His son. DR.. Edward
Waldo Emerson, who had been in
constant attendance during all the
illness of bis father, announced to the
other members of the family that the
end was near at hand. Every moment
the patient seemed to become weaker,
unril it was discovered that the life OF
the great man was ended. The final
transition was peaceful and painless.
Only the immediate relatives and one
or two near friends were present
IN THE CHAMBER OF DEATH.
These were Mrs. Emerson, DR..
Emerson and wife, Mr., and Mrs. Chas.
Emerson, w. H. Forbes, John s.
Keyes and Judge E. r. Hoar. For
three quarters of an hour the fact that
the great man had passed away was
known only to those who were present.
The first intimation that their fellow
citizen had passed away was announced
to the public by the tolling of the
bells of the Unitarian church.

The East Liverpool Lockout.

An Associated Press dispatch was sent
out from Pittsburgh few weeks since
stating that the lockout at the pOtterles
i'm East Liverpool wBs at an end, the
substance of which was published in
the Repository. The following, from
recent issue of the Akron Daily News,
would indicate thai the dispatch was
"Off" in several particulars:
Mr.. G. j. Rudisill will leave AKRON To-
morrow morning for Columbus, Whither
he goes to accept position IN the WhOle-
sale crOckery house of Moore &'Meek.
MIR. RudisilI has for long time been
in the employ of Knowles, Taylor "
Knowles, the largest manufacturers OF
white granite ware in the United states,
and leaves them now because OF Ghe
strike in their pOtteries at East Liver
nOOI, He received a letter from K. L. u
k. to-day, stating that all newspaper
reports to the contrary noGWlIhSLanu-
ing. the strike was not over, as all Ine
men belonging to the knights OF LABOR
who were working again, had just teen
ordered by their Lodge to come out, ana
remain out until the difference had been
adjusted satisfactorily. The letter also
said there was no telling how long the
strike would last, but that the men
seemed determined. This pretty thor
Oughly explodes the story that the strike
had ended, and all but about lOO or the
strikers were back to their wheels.
In addition to the above, the firm of
Wallace s. Chetwynd has taken back all
its old hands as "Knights of Labor,
thereby acknowledging the right to or
gapize. The men seemed determined to
win the fight, and every right thinking
man ought to give them substantial
help, as it is not strike for wages, but
a lockout to humiliate American free
men. KNIGHT OF LABOR.

George f. Baird, cigar maker. who
boarded at the Ogden House, lost
a suit Of clothing, cravat and bosom
pin last Thursday, by some sneak
thief who went through his room
in the afternoon, he having left 1t care,
lessly unlocked. The goods were valued
at $3.50. and as the HaVerly comblna-

the hotel. after playing Merry war as

doors, and after sleepy response from
the inmates they were told that all the

NIinne-Ha-Ha.

Minnie KrOegeT, she who has slam
der suit against the DEMOCRAT, was IN
the Council Chamber last Monday night
to consult City Solicitor Welty as to the
proper steps to take to gain her claim of
damages against the office. In the first
place it was placed at $1,000, but IL has
risen to $4,000. The gentle Minnie,
with iron yisage, went to half a dozen
or more prominent attorneys for advice.
but was uniformly informed that, al
though the charge was serious on /,
they could not take charge of the case,
as they were retained for the defense.
Even Mr.. Welty said the DEMOCRAT had
paid him heavy retaining fees, and al
though it was a criminal charge, he
could do nothing but refuse. The crime
of the DEMOCRAT consists in calling the
woman virgin of 40, when she said
she was married and had four children.
She fired load of pebbles through
window at dead OF night, be-
cause some cats were plagulng her.
The woman is evidently insane.
P. S.-The check is ready.
