aspect and the long crisis had
come. That peculiar respiration, which is
almost invariably the forerunner of death.
set IN, and the patient assumed the appear
ance OF one dead. His muscles became
rigid, and suddenly his right leg was seized
with conyulslve twitching, but by the
increasing exeruons of his attendants the
crisis was safely passed. and a refreshing
sleep came to McCullough's relief He
awoke much refreshed Saturday was
passed quietly by the patient. His mental
faculties were brighter than at any period
OF his illness, and he took cognizance of
all that passed around him. He took food
and medicine normally, and retained all
the muscular power he had regained be-
fore the attack. His wife visited him dur
ing the day, and spent several minutes at
his bedside. He recognized her, and grasp
ing her hand made several efforts to sneak
but without avail Shortly before s o'clock
in the evening his nurse noticed that his
pulse had fallen to about 60 beats a min
ute, and few minutes afterward the pecu-
liar respiration again set in. He continued
IN this condition during the night. A few
minutes before o'clock this morn
ing his attendant was giving him
medicine, when suddenly the muscles
of his throat refused to perform
their functions they having become in an
instant paralyzed. The patient became
unconscious. and remained so until he
died. When he became unconscious. in
lectlons OF brandy and ether were made
over the pectoral muscle, near his heart
and injections Of ether near the arteries in
his neck. This had the effect of lengthen-
ing his life for short time, but was of no
avail. During the morning McCullough's
two sons came into the sick-room for q last
look at their father and stayed only a
few minutes. His wife stayed with him
until he died. AT the last moment his
wife, his sister, Mrs. West, his physician
and nurse. were the only persons present.

growing shorter and weaker until it ceased
altogether

physicians, says his death was due to . an
affection of the brain caused by blood

side of his overcoat, but did not touch his
body. When they became forced from
each other. Elliott made an attempt to es-
cape, at the same time trying to get his re-
yolver from his pocket, and when about
twelve feet away Keisewetter fired a Sec
ond shot. which in his excited condition
missed its aim and struck the ceiling The

Der OF Well-known citizens, by boat and
carriages, assembled at 3 P NJ to-day at the
scene of the Wilson, Cardiff fight. A ring
was promptly formed for a $500 hard-glove
contest between Pat Killen, of Phiiadel-
phia, who has been under Tom Chambers
training for three week'sp It, and Joe Lam
non, of South Boston. The fight was to a
finish, Queensberry rules. Killen was much
the taller of the two men and provided
with longer reach of arms, but they were
fairly matched as to physique, barring the
fact that Killen is the heavier. Ian
non forced the fighting from the
first, against the advice of his trainers.

in face blows at Killen, whose head was
out of his reach, and who countered on
Lannon's neck and face, winding him
badly by back-handers across the throat
Up to this time Lannon had the better of
the fight. The fighting was fast and fulri-
Gus, and the men showed signs of exhauS-
ton. Only chance blow could decide
the contest and it came Lannon's way. On
the finish of the eighth round there was
considerable confusion when Davies
claimed a Knockout for Killen, and at
various times when Donaldson, of Min
neapolis, would break into the ring and
make some foolish claim. At one time he
and Brady would have come to blows but
for the prompthess of the referee.
