New YORK, Nov. 23.-H. NJ. Hoxie,
general manager of the Gould Southwestern
system. died at $50 O'clock this morning at
his rooms in the Metropolitan opera house.
The cause OF his death was exhaustion COLI
sequent upon an operation performed on
him at Saratoga IN June last by removing
stones from his bladder. He has also suf-
fered from kidney disease for the last
thirty-fve years. He had been very weak
for the past seven days, but his doctors had
great hopes of his recovery. The patient
began to sink rapidly at o'clock last even
ing, but was
CONSCIOUS TO THE LAST.
Mrs. HOXie and Capt. Hayes were with
him when he expired. Shortly after the
troubles on the Wabash systerr of railroads
and the Southwestern roads last May. Mr..
HoXie began to complain of pains in his
loins. Finally he became so much worse
that he was compelled to give up his work
and take much-needed rest. The trouble
with the strikers worried him very much.
He left st. Louis in the latter part of May
and came east to Saratoga. After con-
sultatiOn with physician he concluded
to have the operation performed,
which resulted in his dealth. After the
operation Mr.. HoXie was relieved, and felt
/ better for time than he had for years. He
hoped that by taking rest he would re-
gain his health entirely. Mr.. HoXie, in
company with his wife, took trip to Mon
treal, Aug. 25. From there they went to
Quebec and the White Mountains. He
came to New York Sept. 10. and took
apartments in the Broadway flats, in the
Metropolitan Opera house block.
HE BECAME ILL,
and his physicians, Drs. Metcalf and Ward,
were called. He was still weak from the
effects of the operation. and under any eX-
citement was deliriOus. He failed rapidly
but suffered little. and had hopes that he
would be able soon to attend a meeting OF
the managers of the Southwestern pool.
Mrs. Hoxie and Capt. Hayes were with
Mr.. Hoxie continually. Friday Mr.. HoXie
was able to sit up for a short time. and had
the newspapers read to him. Yesterday he
received several friends in the morning,
and talked with his wife about business
affairs in the afternoon. At o'clock in the
evening he complained of being weak, and
he stated that he thought he was going to
die. Mr.. HOxie's physician. DR.. Metcalf
said to-day that his patient had wonderful
will power, and that he fought bravely
against death. 1t he had been a younger
man, with stronger constitution. he would
have lived. There will be no funeral SER
vices in this city. The body will be en-
balmed and taken to Des Moine, Ia, to-
morrow, and the funeral services will be
held on Saturday. Mr.. Hoxie had son,
who is buried in the family plot in the cem-
terry at Des MOines, and before he died he
expressed wish that he should be buried
by the side of his child.
