-- DEAyu or MRs. BAYARD. Washington, jan
uary 3l.-Mrs. Bayaru, wsF. &c the secretary of
State, died here this morning. SHE imme ediale
cause Of death was congestion Of the brain,
brought on by the shock Of her daughters sud
den death two weeks ago. For the first week
following that event she stood the strain and
excitement quite we'll. but week ago last Fri
day she was compelled to take to her bed and
gradually grew worse from day to day. On
Thur sday congestion of the brain made its ap.
pear ance, and she was unconscious for,twenty-
four hours before her death. Although for
years Mrs. Bayard has been q confirmed invalid
she had for the past six months been in better
health than for many years. Last summer she
was very i'll at her homo in Wilmington, Del,
with q complication of diseases Of the liver and
stomach, and her recovery at that time was con-
sdered doubtful At the solicitation of her
daughter Miss Kate, she put herself under the
care Of DR.. F. A. Gardner, of this city, and un-
der his treatment she had impr owed so much as
to be able to so into society this winter, and
although still an invalid she was in compara-
lively good health when her daughter died. She
was about 81 years of age. With the exception
of her daughter. Mrs. Warren of Boston, and
her son, who is in Arizona, the family were
present when she died. The body will be tax en-
TO Wilmington tomorrow, and the funeral will
be held there on Tuesday.
