during which he would be prostrat-
ed sometimes for days at time.
Ills domestic relations were of the
most pleasant character and Mrs.
Hendricks, who is a brilliant and &C
complished woman, was Of great aid
to him in his political career, as she
had large and varied information
aud excellent Judgment, besides be-
ing greatly ambitious for her hus-
bands political advancement. Since
her husbands serious attack two
years ago both of them have been APP
prehcnsive of a sudden end Of his
life, and the attachment between
them has grown very strong, almost
sentimentally so. So intense had
this become in fact, that he would
not consent for his wife to be away
from him for any length of time
Only last week, while in Chicago, he
accompanied Mrs. Hendricks even on
her shopping expeditions. They had
frequently talked over his condition
and the probabilities of his early
death, and it is evident that for sew
eral months past, there has been
growing fear of this kind on his mind

HE HAD A RELAPSE,

however, and the physician was again
summoned and administered the
usual remedies besides bleeding the
patient, and Mr.. Hendricks again
expressed himself as being greatly
relieved. He remained in his room
all the afternoon, occasionally rising
from his bed, to which he was COM
PEELED to return by the recurrence of
the abdominal pains. To all callers
who came, and they were numerous,
he sent word that he was indisposed,
but would be glad to see them to-
morrow. About 1880 o'clock Mrs.
Hendricks, who had been at his bed
side all day, went down into the par
lor to see caller who had come to
consult with her regarding the affairs
of reformatory institution, of which
she was one of the managers, and she
remained with him about twenty
minutes. Tom, a colored servent, and
Harry Morgan, Mr.. Hendricks neph-
ew and page in Washington, re-
manned with him. The servant went
out and Mr.. Morgan stayed. Mr.
Hendricks tossed uneasily in his bed
and complained of great pain
but suddenly it seemed to cease and
he said TO his nephew:

A GLOOM OVER THE CAPITAL.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.--The an
nouncement of the death of Vice
President Hendricks has cast deep
gloom over the capital. Mr.. Hen
bricks health had improved so much
during the last year or two that his
friends looked to his continuance in
public life for many more years
and the news of his sudden death
came with q shock. The first news
of the sad occurrence was an Asso-
ciated Press bulletin from lndlanapo-
lis. The President and the members
of the Cabinet were informed at once
aud the President Immediately called
meeting of the Cabinet, to take
suitable action. The meeting was
attended by all the members except
Secretary Manning and Attorney
General Garland. 1t was decided
that the President and the members
of the Cabinet should attend the fu-
neral. When the Cabinet adjourned
the President issued the following:
Executive Mansion Washington,
d. c., Nou. %, 1SS5.-To the people
of the United States; Thomas A.
Hendricks, Vice President of the
United States, died to-day at 5 o'clock,
at Indianapolis, and it becomes my
mournful duty to announce the dis
tressing fact to his fellOw-country
men. In respect to the memory and
the eminent and varied services of
this high official and patriotic public
servant, whose long career was so
full of usefulness and honor to his
State and the United States, it is or
dered that the national flag be dis
played at half-mast upon all the pub
lie buildings of the United States,
that the Executive Mansion and the
several executive departments in the
City of Washington be closed OH the
day of the funeral, and be draped in
mourning for the period of Thirty days
that the usual and appropriate mill
tary and naval honors be rendered,
and that on all the legation and con-
sulates of the United States in for
eign countries the national flag shall
be displayed at half-mast on the re-
ception of this order, and the usual
emblems of mourning be adopted fol-
thirty days. tCo

AM FREE AT LAST,

send for Eliza" meaning his wife,
and these were his last words, for the
young man not realizing the urgency
of the message, did not deliver it at
once. Just before 5 o'clock Mrs.
Hendricks came into the room and
found that her husband was dead.
The end of long and eventful life
had come peacefully and quietly.
He lay in the bed outside of the COW
ering, only partially disrobed, with
his eyes half closed as if he were in a
gentle sleep on his face there were
no traces of pain or suffering, but a
pallor had come over it, that indica-
ted only too plainly that he had
passed away.
Mr. Hendricks died in his private
chamber, large comfortable room,
in which he did the most ofhis work.
Near his bedside was case contain
ing legal and political works, and on
his desk were his papers, memoranda
and a large number of letters, which
had been allowed to accumulate
without answering in the last two
or three days,
DR.. Thompson says that in his
opinion Mr.. Hendricks died of pa
ralysis of the brain, and there will
probably be post mortem examina-
ton to establish what the disease was.

THE STATE VS.. ANON coopERrcH.

The case of Almon Goodrich, the young
cowboy who shot and killed Sam Hughes at
the Farmers and Drovers' hotel few
nights ago. came up in Justice Hobbs court
yesterday.
j. VI. Balderston, county attorney, was
present in behalf ofthe state. and D. VI. Dale
for the defense. Mr.. Dale asked a continu-
ance for six day in order TO obtain witnesses
and TO learn something Of the character OF
the parties concerned. After some argu-
ment this request WIS acceded to, but the
county attorney insisted on examining the
witnesses for the prosecution.
Sam Thompson, the man who was pre- ent
when the shooting was done. WAS the first
witness called. His testimony ELECTED Il III
ing in relation 10 The affair that has not al
ready been told and stated in our re-
port Nr. Dale entered into long and ri, id
cross-cxamination, and went far beyond tie.
legitimate bounds of cross examination
This was not objected to by Mr. BBlderston,
and it appeared TO be fixed up between the
two law singers to find out as much about
all the parties as possible. The robbery for
which Hughes was arrested was rung in.
The manner Of the living Of Hughes and
Thompson was hit occasionally, rs WIS also
the character of the place kept by M.
Black. The information brought out by
Mr.. Dale's cross-examinatiOn, touching the
character Of that neck of the woods, indicat-
ed plainly enough that some houses in that
TOW are not churches.
The other witnesses were II. ". Black
Ms Roberts, Geo McSpayin, W. Belan1y
and c. VI. Garrison. All that they could tell
was the situation Of the parties after the
shooting, and that the defendant sid he shot
Hughes. Their accounts Tailed pretty well
all around, and all told a disinterestsd story
Thompson. the principal witness, WAS placed
under bond TO be present at the mex; exa;ni-
nation. Justices Hobbs and Thomas were
associated in the case. The further cousid-
Grafton of the case will take place next Fri
DAY.
