Death of McCuIIougI,,s Son.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 27.-William John
son Mccullough, son Of the late John
Mccullough, the tragedian, died suddenly
Thursday at his home, 2l9 East Thompson
street. Mr.. Mccullough was in his twenty
sixth year. Death was caused by acute
Bright's disease. 1t is believed that his
death will hasten the solution of the ques-
tion as to where the great actors remains
shall finally rest. Mrs. Mccullough has re-
sisted all offers to have the body OF her late
husband removed from the city. She has
repeatedly said that she wishes all of her
family to rest together. She is inclined to
favor Mount Moriah as place of sepulchre,
and, II she should bury the body of her son
there, it is likely that she will also have the
same lot.
