He succumbs to His Wound This Morn
ing at 1880.

This morning about 1890 O'Clock the
news OF the death OF Ferdinand Niggh
was circulated with marvellous rapidity.
Yesterday In the afternoon a change for
the worse took place in the wounded
man, and towards night he was In
high fever, which grew In intensity, and
this morning his condition was very pre-
carious, the attending physicians both
looking very grave when they LEFT their
patients room this morning. It was
found that little hopes were entertained
for his recovery. AS the morning ad-
vanced Mr.. Niggli became rapidly
worse, and ultimately succumbed while
In q state of inconsistencies. Ferdi-
nand Niggli was 81 years old at the time
of his death, and leaves wife and five
children to regret his decease, In addi-
ton to q large number of friends. He
has been an inhabitant of this and Me-
dina counties all his life, and was gen.
orally well known. As a boy he was
employed in the cattle business In Me-
dina county. lie afterwards abandoned
the cattle interests and learned the
trade OF blacksmith, which he pur-
sued In this city for some time at John
Coleman's shop. on the San Pedro, after
which he went to Castroville and car
ried 1t on In that town until he was APP
pointed deputy sheriff under Valentine
| folllnor. lie afterwards was elected

was offered the position of Deputy
| United States Marshal. which he ac-
eepted and held until Gosling's death.

Special 70 the Sentinel.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1O.-The House COm-
mittee on Pensions. Bodnty and Back Pay
has been conducting an examination into
the workings of the Pension Bureau for
some time. To-day it had before it the
Assistant Chief OF the Western Division.
TIE case of widow in HoIman's District
was cited. He was asked by Chairman
Warner to tell what he knew about it. The
assistant chief said he had charge OF the
case and flushed it some time before the
November election. He found it all
right, and took the papers to the
Chief of the Division and told him
it should + ss. The chief asked him who
recommen, d the case, and he answered it
was Holman TIE chief said 'Oh this Is
id Democrat; we will hold it up till after
the election. II 1t was passed now it would
make Holman fifteen Republican votes"
So the case was held up till after the eIec-
ton, since which it has passed. A member
of the committee said the committee would
recommend this chiefs dismissal.
Several other witness testified that Just be-
fore the October election there were seven
pension agents employed in Warmers dis
tricf, which embraces only five counties
Chairman Warner says that at this proper
tion there were at least 150 pension
agents employed in Ohio just prior TO the
election, and that in Ohio and Indiana alone
two-thirds of all the pension agents were
employed during the canvass.
ExCommissioner Dudley will be called
on as says Chairman Warner. 70 expl ain
the wherefore of this proceeding.
The belief here now among the leading
men is that Mcdonald will be assigned ,
the Treasury. All the talk is in this direc.
ton. Another delegation, probably headed
by Voorhees,, Will visit Albsny TO urge Nc
Donald. Voorhees, claims Mcdonald has the
brightest prospects of any man mentioned
for the Cabinet Garland who it is conceded
Will be Attorney General, and friends are all
working for Mcdonald. and are confident
he will be in the Cabinet.
