cation for suPersedeas in the case of

supersedeas should be granted, to the end
that the defendants might have the ques-
tlon of having now trial passed upon
by the supreme court Justice Scott
asked how long the attorneys would re

AN EKPRESIDENT DEAD.
Chester A. Arthur Dies at His Home
in New York City,
His Death Caused by Cerebral Apo
plexy. Messages Of Coincidence.
His Sudden Death.

New YORK, Nov. 18.-Ex-President
Chester 4. Arthur died at . O'Clock this
morning at his residence, 1913 Lexington
avenue. He had been ailing for some
time from a com plication of diseases,
principally kidney affection. He had
spent the summer at a watering place
and it was supposed that this had
strengthened somewhat his enfeebled
constitution. His death was unexpected,
it not being supposed outside of his house
that he was in any immediate danger.
His disease was one affecting the kid
neys, and those nearest him had no faith
in his permanent recovery, but his sud
den demise was not spoken of. He be-
gan to sink rapidly shortly after mid
night, and by O'Clock it was known
that death was approaching. A stroke of
CEREBRAL .APoPLExT,
sudden, but not wholly unexpected by
the attending physicians, terminated his
life. The stroke came in his sleep be-
tween Tuesday night and Wednesday
morning, and he did not rally thereafter.
His death was painless-the slow going
out of burned down candle, and for
hours before his end came he was uncon-
scious of his surroundings. His son and
uuupnl6r. MS SlSJST, anu HIS former law
partner, Sherman W. Khevals, and his
closest friend, Surrogate Rollins, were at
his bedside. Mr.. Arthur's attendant left
him shortly after midnight, and did not
enter his room again till eight o'clock
this morning, when he found him lying
on his side breathing heavily and was un-
able to arouse him. The family and DR..
Geo. A Peters. Mr.. Arthur's physician,
were at once summoned. 1t took DR..
Peters but few moments to locate the
difficulty.
A SMALL BLOOD VESSEL
in the brain had bursted and paralysis of
the right side had ensued. From the mo
ment the discovery was made, all hope
was known to be vain, but no efforts were
spared to bring the patient back to con
sciOusuess. They were all alike failures.
All day long the dying man lay motion
less and speechless, though he knew what
was being done about him, for he pressed
the doctors hand and put out his tongue
partly when hidden to do so. These were
the only indications of consciousness he
manifested. Last night at 6 O'Clock the
enfeebled pulse, more difficult respira-
tiOn and other signs of physical failure
indicated to the watchful eyes of
his physicians that the end was
drawing near. A change for the worse
came on rapidly, and his sisters
and children gathered about his bedside.
DR.. William A. Valentine, DR.. Peters
partner, and Surrogate Rollins stayed
with them during the night. Mr.. Khevals
went home at midnight. Mr.. Arthur's
strength ebbed out slowly and with it his
life. 1t was five O'Clock when the end
came He had been entirely senseless
for hours ana died without a struggle.

ameer of Afghanistan's troops. They
also say that the rebellion is still rapidly

Many of the ameer's troops are also
joining the rebels, owing to the honorble
reception given to the members OF the
British Afghan boundary commission by
the ameer, which gave rise to the suspic
ion that he intended ITO yield TO British
occupancy.
