They Were Passed in Suffering
frOm an Imcurab!e Disease.
NEW YORK Nov. 1S.-The news of the
death of X-President Arthur came as a
great surprise. Notwithstanding the alarm
ing rumorS as to his health during the sum-
mer months. The supposed improvement
in his condition noted during his stay in
New London. Conn. and the apparent
confidence expressed by the friends who
remained close to him. created the
impression that his health had been
radically improved, giving him the
promise OF a renewed lease of life.
All reports to the contrary, Mr.. Arthur'S
health had not improved during his stay in
New London six weeks ago. and at his re-
turn on Oct. l he was no better than when
he left the city. As time passed no perma-
nent improvement came. and his physicians
feared some such
SUDDEN STROKE
as the one to which he succumbed. In his
enfeebled condition even light stroke of
apoplexy would prove fatal to the once
robust patient But with the beginning of
the present week, a marked change for the
better set in. Tuesday the eX-preSident
felt better and stronger than at any time
since he was taken SICK, dllu COlnHl6uteu
hopefully upon the fact His disease was
one affecting the kidneys, and those nearest
him had no faith in his permanent recovery,
but his sudden demise was not spoken Of.
DIR. GEORE A. PETERS
was found at his office to-day. He said:
Mr.. Arthur died of cerebral apoplexy; that
is, it was the immediate cause. 1t was one of
the wa, S in which his trouble might terminate
at any time To that extent it was not un-
expected. For tw or three years Mr. Arthur
has had an enfeehled heart. and the variety
of symptoms that alarmed his friends were
the natural result OF his condition. He had
kidney trouble (Brght's disease), but it was
not the cause of his death. A man OF less
powerful constitution would have succumbed
much sooner. His great physical strength
Dulled him through as far as this. Mr..
Arthur was not PHI scally Strong. but a
mighty good man. and those who were closest
to him in his trouble learned TO value him
most highly.
A very few days ago. in conversation
with Auueduct Commissioner Fisher, who
had called to see him, eX-PreSident Arthur

Proclamation by the Governor: By the
deaih of u distinguished citizen the people Of
state are again called to mourn. EX-PreS-
dent Arthur entered into rest at his residence
in New York city this morning. He had
always made his home within our state, and

dent Garfield he became president by success
sion. and with dignity to himself and with
honor to the country he filed that highest
Office in our government. In all his life he
bore without abuse the name of gentleman.
Remembe bering the seVice and admiring the
character of Ex-President Arthur, it is fitting
that by such action as NAV be deemed ap-
prOpriate, we express our sorrow in his death
and show respect for mis- high Official posi-
ton which he held by choice of his country
