Cardinal AeClosksy Quietly Passes Away
Sketch Of HIS Life.
J NEW YORK, October 10.-Car1inal Nc.
Closkey died at u so o'clock this morning,
peacefully and surrounded by relatives and
clergymen Of his sect Thursday night was
quiet and the Cardinal awoke somewhat
refreshed early yesterday morning, but the
weakness that procedes dissolution was be-
coming moro pronounced. DR.. Reyes said
| yesterday morning that his patient although
| comfortable. was growing pefceptibly
weaker. The Cardinal was only able to
speak in Q whisper and it was with diff.
Guilty that he could make his attendants un-
derstand his wishes. The condition of the
patient was such that It was thought that
he might drop of at any moment DR..
Reyes said that his patient had failed moro
rapidly during the twelve hours past than
in the preceding forty-eight hours. lie
did not then think It probable the patient
would survive Sunday, should he live until
then. Soon after two o'clock the Cardinal
sank into unc0nsci0usness and 50 continued
throughout the evening. Grave apprehen-
sions were based on this fact and Mons.
Farley, Father DOnbresse and Mrs. John
Kelly, who was at home, were hurriediy
summoned to the Cardinals house and bed
side. At ten o'clock those about the bed
side of the sick man were of the belief that
he woke again to consciousness. The Car
dinal's nephew had been sent for, he being
in Philadelphia. For some hours prior to
his loss of consciousness, the Cardinal had
taken no nOurishment, and those who
watched felt that all that was now left was
the inevitable and speedy exhaustion OF the
unsupported vital force. At 1880 the end
came, and SO peacefully and painlessly
that those who watched him scarcely
knew that the change had come until Dr.
Reyes signified that all was over and that
the Cardinal was dead. Then the butler,
Walsh, ushered forth TO Gao the venerable
Rev. Donbresse. The servants eyes were
wet, and Dr. Reyes, who supported the rev.
erend father on one side, said to the wait-
ing crowd outside: 1.-THE Cardinal is dead"
MonsignOre Preston remained with the roll
atives and offered prayers for the repese of
the dead preiate's soul. The other dig
nitaries departed after the death. The dead
Cardinals remains will rest in the vaults of

ably be one week from Sunday next.
