danger. To-day two weeks ago he was
taken with a cold, which developed into
pleurisy but not to an alarming degree. He
had got so much better by Thursday of last
week that he spent an hour PLAYING the
organ at his residence. That evening
relapse came, but it was not considered
severe, and indeed it was thought that he
was getting well out of this, when sud
denly to-day an effusiOn of water about
the heart showed itself. and soon came to
q fatal termination. He died about ,
O'Clock, his three daughters and two
physicians being in attendance.

ment to go to the South.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-In the absence
of information from Albany of definite
nature, conjecture as to Mr.. Cleveland's
plans is INDUCED in with the greatest
freedom. Democrat from the South
said to-day that - hed been assured, dur
ing his visit to New York, that all predic-
tlOns which gave either the War or Navy
Department to the South would be wrong
and he had been led to believe that neith-
er of those departments would be filed
by military Or naval officers. One hears
frequently the hope expressed that Mr..
Cleveland may see his way to appointing
Mr.. X. t. Merrick Postmaster General.
This hope does not find much encourage
ment from the friends of Senator German
or the supporters of John S. Barbour, of
Virginia. The chances of the latter are
believed to be equal with those of Gen.
Lawton, Of Georgia, who has many friends
here.
