John Kelly the noted Tammauy leader,
of New York, died al his residence in
that city, ON Tuesday.
While his death was not sudden 10 was
entirely unexpected, and the announce
ment shocked every one in the lower part
of the city. Especially was this true of
the democratic politicians, among whom
MIR. Kelly has been a shining light and
the leader of an important wing OF that
party since the days of Boss Tweed, For
over a year Mr.. Kelley has been ailiug
and the newspapers have chrouicled the
varions stages of his disease, from day to
day. but lately there had been an impress
sion that the great democratic leader was
regaining his usual health.
Ever since the Presidential campaign
of 1884 Mr. Kelly has suffered from uer-
vous prostration and insommanip. which
has been aggravated by chronic dyspepsia
This was nothing unusual to Mr.. Kelly as
he had suffered similar attacks upon
the death of his first wife, and again
about ten years ago. The latest attack
was brought on 10y hard work and over.

DURING THE CLEAvELAND CAMPAIGN.
After the memorable election of 1854
Mr.. Kelly was taken sick and has been
under the care OF physicians ever since
For time it was hoped he would rally
and gain his accustomed health, and only
few weeks ago his family made arrange
ments for summer residence on Long
Island. His system was too weak however
to rally, and for the past two geeks hehas
gradually been growing weaker. Last
Sunday morning he appeared to grow
much worse, his breathing became much
harder, and early Monday morning he was
so low that a clergyman was sent for
About l o'clock in the morning of Decora-
ton Day the Rev. Father Meagher, of the
Dominican Fathers, whose church and con
vent is situated n few blocks below Mr.
Kelley's residence arrived at tine house
He remained for a while and as Mr., Kelly
appeared TO improve somewhat he re-
turned to the church. He came back e
the house about 10 O'Clock on Monday
morning, and MS Mr.. Kelly appeared 90 b,
in critical condition the last sacrament
was administered.
Mr.. Kelly was married twice. His
three children by the FIRST marriage are
buried in Calvary. son, John aged Z,
and daughter, Josephine, aged 3, the
issue of the second marriage, survive
him. He was Ga years old.

all settled"
Mr.. Kimball sat speechless. What he
thought Of in the next five minutes could
not be described. His brain worked with
a speed and intensity to which 1t was
quite unaccustomed.

mered at last, feeling that something was
expected of him, and amiably DESTROYS of

and happy spirit Of the occasion.

Pretty soon the widow came In.

"Lucy said she'd pick the berries and set
the table, and sent me in to play lady and
entertain the company"
Charley watched his opportunity, and
slipped into the kitchen. The two more
than middle-aged people were thus left to
entertain each other. That sly boy Cupid
never had better opportunity given him.
The farmer had made up his mind
again. II he couldn't have Lucy, he'd
have her mother, if he could get her.
Come to think 1t oil over" he told
himself. THAT was the best plan by all
odds"
He wondered how he could have been
foolish enough to think Of marrying a
girl Of twenty-one or two. The idea was
ridiculous.

he. 90 1t might as well be settled now as

About four o'clock on Saturday after

"Good-aftcfnoon !" said the widow as
she let him IN, with charming suspicion

Attention. Democratic Clubs.

Attention. Democratic Clubs.
The special attention of the Dem
ocratic clubs in this county is called
to the resolution recently adopted
by the Executive Committee about
the recognition ofdelegates from the
various Gibbs in the county. No de.
CATION can be admitted upon the old
rolls. New rosters must be made
out, and every member must sign
his name or make his mark, and that
roll must be presented to show that
the club is entitled to the number OF
delegates it sends to the convention.
This action WAS deemed necessary
in order to insure u fair count for
all parties interested. We trust that
no club will fail to comply with the
resolution. The resolution referred
to will be found in the report of the
proceedings of the meeting of the Ex-
ecutive Committee, which appear in
another column.
