WENDELL PHILLIPS DEAD.
Eke Great Orator and AbolitIouist Breathes
a.g Last, 2 Victim of Heart

BOSTON, Special Telegram, Feb. &-~Wenoen
Phillips died at 6:15 o'clock at his residence,
81 Common street He had been seriously III
! ONLY since Saturday last On the morning OF
that day he was taken very suddenly Win an
attack of heart disease. A physician was
promptly summoned and pronounced
the trouble angina pectoris, the
malady which brought Charles Sumner to
the grave and caused the death OF Mr.. Phil
lips' father and three brothers. 1t had been
hoped that Mr.. Phillips strong constitution
and the fact that he had enjoyed remarkable
health for years would enable him to rally,
but the disease made rapid progress. de
was confined to his bed on Sunday,
suffering terrible pains, and his physician
was ummoned to the house four times The
patient rallied, grew better from day to
day. and hopes were entertained until
| Wednesday of q speedy recovery. On
Wednesday came a relapse SO serious
that constant medical aid wa required.
On Thursday his condition became so cr1ti-
cal that it was hardly thought at midnight
that he could live until morning. Again he
rallied slightly, but the relief was
only temporary. In attempting to lift
himself in bed to-day he O~vertaXed
his feeble powers. A terrible paroXism was
brought on, and in order to quiet the suf-
ferer it was necessary to employ an@sthetics.
1t was evident that the end was near,
Phillips realized this, and except during the
time above referred to, was conscious until
the last, though too feeble to speak. He
had been unable to speak for
two or three days. He had taken
no prominent part in public life for more
than a year, feeling that, thOL n in excellent
health, he had reached an age when quiet
ness and rest were requisite. He received
many flattering invitations to lecture,
but was heard but seldom. He
last spoke in public at the
old South church the day fol
lowing Christmas, when the statute of
Harriet Martineau was unveiled. The en-
forced removal from his home on Essex
street was often in Mr.. Phillips mind,
for he frequently spoke of the
change with regret, and some
of his friends, thinking that brooding
over this matter may have brought, in some
degree at least, the disease which proved
fatal When Phillips died there were none
iii the death chamber save the wife
whom he had cared for with such con-
slant tenderness these many years, and his
adopted daughter, with other members OF
the family and household. His death was
peaceful, and, though the illness had been
painful, the end happily was free from all
suffering. The arrangements for the funeral
are not yet completed, and it probably will
not be held for several days

The special commission who investigated
the outbreak of trichinosis in EImerslaben,
Saxony, have made their report. The
town contains $50 inhabitants, OF whom
257 contracted the disease. For years q
large proportion OF the people had been in
the habit of eating raw minced pork spread
en- their bread for lunch, in the belief
that meat is more nutritious raw than
when cooked Suddenly an epidemic ap
peared, which attacked one-thIrd of the PEG
pie, % per cent. of the cases proving fatal
None of he remedies prescribed by the doc
tors had the slightest effect. The disease
ran a course of from three to eight weeks,
proving the most fatal among the older
people. While there were numbers affected
WHO had cooked their pork before ealing 1t,
it was noticed there was not 0 single iatal
case among this class. The conclusion Is
that in a period of years there was one loi
of diseased pork received to which the cpl
demic was due; but the fatalities were all
ewing to the common habit of eating meat
raw.

occupation of Egypt put q severe strain on

Importance of improving our defeRses may
be judged from the fact that property at
Liverpool alone, which a hostile feet could
destroy. is estimated at $400, OO0, 900.

Vienna cable: Since the revolution of
1S48 Vienna has never passed through such
a crisis of anxiety an ] alarm. The govern
ment is in possession OF what it believes to
be most trustworthy evidence of a plot to
assassinate the emperor. The dynamite
cartridges found In the opera house are ex-
actly similar to those found near the body
of Detective Bloch and in the murdered
money changers office. A. large quantity
of dynamite was recently ordered for the
Arlberg tunnel, but on its arrival at Vienna
one large case, weighing $50 Kilograms, was
missing. The police made a thorough
search for il, but In vain. Saturday night
eight battallions of infantry stood in their

Waddlngton, French ambassador, presid-

closer knitting between the two countries
of the bonds of peace and good will, which
were so important to their interests and
those of the world. A rupture of relations
between them, he said, would be q calamity
beyond conception. All their recent quar-
rels were transient. 1t was, then, the duty
of civilization and humanity to maintain
good feeling. He knew that was the ssnti-
ment of leading statesmen of England and
France.
