ANOTHER ACCOUNT or Mr.. TILDEN's
DEATH.
A special dispatch from Yonkers
says: Ex-Gov. Samuel j. Tilden died
suddenly at $50 o'clock am. at his
country residence, Greystone, near
here. His death, though possible at
any time on account of his age, was
entirely unexpected. He had been
suffering for a few hours from an at.
tack OF nausea and diarrhGa and was
attended by DIS. Simm1nds and Swift,
from this place. He partially recov.
cred, but following shortly after came
a sudden stoppage OF the hearts ac-
ton and death. ensued. The last
hours of the deceased statesman
were peaceful and painless.
For several months past Mr..
Tilden has enjoyed unusual health for
him. He had gained thirty-fve
pounds of flesh in six months. He
used his yacht Viking frequently, and
took long carriage rides daily. His
face was familiar to the sixty people of
Yonker's, and he frequently drove
through the streets OF the city. The
last time he went out was on Sunday,
wien he was driven out by his coach
man, Denis O'Hara, attended by his
valet Louis Johansen, both of whom
have been in his service for years
Saturday he was taken with a
slight chill while sitting in his
porch overlooking the Hudson
river and was removed to his room
where he was attended byi his friend
and physician, DR.. E. samuels, Of
New York, who is stopping with his
family in the neighboring estate Of
Blank Brown. The cold settled in
Mr.. Tilden's bowels and stomach,
causing vomiting and purging. With
medical aid he felt much better on
Sunday and went out ia his carriage
Monday and yesterday. He also felt
much better last night. Mr..
Tilden was taken with the same
symptoms while in the parlor
and was supported to his
room by his valet and private secre-
tary, George Smith. Reaching his
room, the Ex-Governor experienced
considerable trouble in breathing.
This alarmed his friends, and DR..
Simmons was called. The patient
was suffering from nausea and diar.
rbGa, and was in great distress. The
difficulty in breathing ceased after
a while, and he was placed in bed.
Later he was assisted to an easy chair.
DR.. Simmons remained all night.
Early this morning Mr..
Tilden began to grow worse,
and was aga placed in bed. The
general gases of stomach and bowels
disordered them and caused failure
OF action of the heart. AS the second
fit of the difficulty of breathing re-
Cured DR.. Swift, OF Yonkers, was
called in consultation. He arrived at
Greystone at s o'clock, but Mr.. Tilden
was then beyond the reach of medical
skill. The two physicians consulted
in q whisper, but nothing could be
done. No words were uttered by Mr.,
Tilden after the doctors arrival. He
remained conscious to the last, the
labored breathing grew fainter and
more feeble and at 8:45 o'clock m.
the face OF the dying man began to
change. The ashen pallor of death
slowly crept over his counteDauce,
tbs eyes closed and his muscles re-
laxed. At 8:55 o'clock he b'eathed
his asst. At the time of his death the
only persons in the room were Drs
Simmons and Swift, Miss Annie Gould,
a relative, the amanuensis Of the dead
statesman and the faithful valet
Louis johannes. The room in which
Mr.. Tllden died was his sleeping
chamber. 1t is ON the second floor
on the south side Of the residence.
In the room is bay window which
overiooks the river on the southwest
