to cough. He was unsuccessful an

to cough. He was unsuccessful, and
seemed to be awfully distressed at some
internal attack, which he could not relieve
nor indicate to the family that they might
apply remedies. He gradually sank into a
stupor and remained unconscious to the
end.
The illness which has Just resulted in
the Generals death commenced on May
10, Immediately after his return from a
tour of inspection out West He COM
planned Of feeling unweu and worn out,
and came down to the Office each day
for about a week He was then
forced to remain in doors, and Tues
day, May %, he had a severe at
tack of heart failure, which greatly alarmed
his family and physicians On account of
the effect it was feared the news would
have on the Generals mother, who was
aged and in i'll health, an endeavor was
made to keep the more alarming phases of
his illness from the public, and it was
not until the end of that week that the ply
sicians admitted the true character of the
disease. On Friday, May 26, he had several
attacks of heart failure, and these in
creased in violence with each succeeding
attack Several times during his Illness
it seemed as if life had become ex-
tinct, but by the adoption Of radical meas
ures the action of the heart was stimu-
lated and he was brought round again.
His heart at one time ceased to
beat for few seconds, but the
extraordinary watchfulness and care
of the attending physicians brought
him back to consciousness again. New
complications set in and hope was we'll
nigh abandoned several times, only to be
renewed by the great vitality and deter
mination shown by the stricken soldier.
The history of these relapses and recover
les is familiar to the readers of the daily
press
With the approach of warm weather it
was decided by the physicians that the pa
tient must be removed, as he would be
utterly unable in his weakened state to
withstand q period of prolonged heat. Ac-
cordingly on Saturday, June 3d. he was,
after several delays, placed on board the
United States steamer Swatara and taken
to Nonquitt Mass, which place he reached
after several stops caused by occurrences
of the heart trouble.
The General had made his will and all
preparations for death, and was ready to
face it, though resolutely determined that
life should not be given up without a
severe struggle on his part He leaves a
wife, the daughter of General Rucker, and
four small children-three girls and one
boy.
