Nosauir1, Macs, Aug. e,-Gen. sher-
idsn's death occurred at 1920 Sunday
evening. Previous to the sudden ap-


pearance of heart failure, at about $50,
there had been no premonitions Of an un-
favorable change In his condition. The
weather had been warmer than usual,
and the general was at times little
restless, but seemed generally bright and
cheerful His voice was strong,
he took full supply Of
nourishment, slept occasionally, as
usual, and the doctors and his family
were in hopeful spirits, At 7 O'Clock
Mrs. Sheridan and the doctors went to
the hotel for supper, and soon after their
return the usual preparations for the
night were made. At about 9:2O Col
Sheridan said, good night" to his brother
and went to the hotel, there having
been through the day no signs of any un'
favorable change in his condition.
At $50 symptoms Of heart failure
suddenly appeared, and Drs. O,Reilly
and Matthews, who were with him at
the time, immediately applied the rem
edies which proved successful In all pre-
vious similar attacks, but this time they
were without effect, and despite all that
could be done the general gradually sank
into condition of complete unconscious
ness, and at 1920 breathed his last.
Mrs. Sheridan, the Sisters Maban and
Justinian, and the faithful body servant,
Klein, were also at his bedside through
out his dying hours.

feeling worn out, but came down TO the
Office each day for about week. He was
then forced to remain indoors, and Tues.
day, May ~, he had severe attack of
heart failure, which greatly alarmed bis
family and physicians.
On Friday of the week erniing May % he
had several attacks 9f heart failure, and
these increased in violence with each
succeeding attack. Several times dur
ing his illness It seemed az II
life had become extinct, but, BY
the adoption Of radical meas.
ures, the action OF the heart was stimu
lated and he was brought around again.
His heart one time ceased to beat for a
full second, but the extraordinary watch
fulness and care of the attending physi.
clans brought him back to consciousness
again.
New complications set In 1t wasdecided
by the physicians. after several con
sultations, that the patient must be
removed, as be would be utterly
unable in his weake1ed state to with
stand period of prolonged heat.
Accordingly, on Saturday, June
20, he was, after several delays, placed
on the United States ship SwataYa and
taken to Nonquitt, Mass, which place he
reached after several stops, caused by
occurrences OF the heart trouble.

OF POOR OHIO PARENTS.
Where the Brave and Loved Sheridan
Tns Horn and Raised.

Where the Brave and Loved sheridan
Was Born and Raised.
Gen. Sheridan was born in Somerset,
Ohio, March o, 1881. His parents were
poor and for long time lived in a one
story frame building On South street in
that town, John Sheridan, Phil's father.
tried 70 mako some money as a railroad
contractor, but invariably met with Ill
luck.
At the age Of l2 Phil became a clerk.
and was engaged in this avocation until
ls4I, when he was appointed a cadet at
West Point. He graduated in 1852
Cpou his graduation he was assigned 10
the infantry branch Of the service, sery-
ing two years IN Texas, and from 1855 to
1861 In Oregon. At the commencement
Of the civil war he was appointed quar-
tsrmaster Of the Army Of Southwest
Missouri, his rank being captain.
May, lo52, the governor Of Mich
igan appointed him colonel OF
the Second Michigan cavaly, raud July /,
1852, he was commissioned as brigadier
general Of volunteers, and was soon in
command Of a division Of the Army of
the Ohio. In April, 1864, he was called
by General Grant to the Army of the Po-
tomac and put in command Of the cav
airy.
In March, 1859, by the promotion of
Gen. Sherman, he became lieutenant
general, assuming command Of the West
ern and Southwestern military divisions,
with headquarters in Chicago. Here he
| resided until the autumn Of 1888, when,
by the retirement of Gen. Sherman, he
became commander Of the Army Of the
United States, In which capacity he
served until made general OF the United
States army by an act of congress a few
weeks since.
In 1870 Sheridan was assigned By the
| government to observe the military op-
eratious in Europe, and in discharge OF
that duty accompanied military head
| quarters OF William, King Of Prussia,
subsequently emperor OF Germany.
He was present ct ali the great
bates that occurred on the Ger
mans advance through the Eastern
province Of France, and remained in
France until the conclusion of peace. He
had great sympathy for the French na.
tion in its calamlties and believed that
the French army, properly commanded,
would have been fully equal to the sue
cessful defense of its country,
At the end OF the war Gen Sheridan
was only 81 years old, man Of robust
.yps and great physical vigor, hardy, &C.
tive and energetic. Disease never gained
any hold upon him until much later.

placed in charge Of DR.. O'Reilly, one oi
the generals physicians, who will arrive
here from Nonquitt some time during the
day. But nothing Is known outside ol
the fact that 1t will take effect Saturday
1t Is understood that Mrs. Sheridan Is
opposed 10 having the body lie in state
at the capitol, as she is devoted Catho,
lie and prefers the services to be held al
ST. Mathews church. The services, al
he's request, will be Of the simplest pos
sible description. Cardinal Gibbons viii

tire Catholic clergy of this city and some
from Baltimore, and possibly Bishop

At THE DEATHBED.

Mrs. Sheridan Frustrated upon the Full
Realization of Her Sorrow.
NoSoUrrT, Mass, Aug. 6.-An through
Sunday Gen. Sheridan had been in un-
usually good spirits, laughing and chat
ting with his brother and members Of the
family. At 7:30 DIR. Matthews said the
general was doing 50 well that there
would probably be no bulletins issued for
. week. After dinner at the hotel, Mrs
Sheridan carried down to the general q
large slice of roast beef, which he ate
with apparent relish. He dozed of bit
during the afternoon, but awoke to eat
supper, and then went TO sleep again.

lively In seniority. There is little reason,
10 Is thought, that President Cleveland
will disregard the order Of sequence.
In that event Gen. Schoield will re-
ceive the appointment. But di-
lemma arises II he be appointed the
division of the Atlantic win be left with
out q commander. AS to Gen. Crooks
removal from here, It is hardly probable.
This comprises two-thirds Of the whole
army, and 1t may result eventually IN
the abolishing Of the division Of oreani-
Nations. This has been mooted for some
time. In the army there are eight de-
partments and nine general officers. IL
three divisions, the Atlantic, Missouri
and Pacific, were disposed Of IL would
leave eight military departments to be
commanded by % many general officers,
taking one for the command Of the army.
Gen. Sheridan was In favor Of this meas
ure. The president is commander-in-
chief and It all remains with him.

CONGRESSIONAL D0INGS
Tho Senate.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-In the senate
the committee on commerce reported
a bill granting the Gulf and Chicago
Air Line railway the right to construct
bridges over nayigeble water courses.
NJ. Cullom introduced concurrent
resolution authorizing the committee on
interstate commerce to investigate and
ascertain whether the railroads in the
United States are owned and operated by
the Canadian Pacific, Grand Trunk, or
other foreign railroads, and If COM
merce Is being diverted to them by dis
ordinations; whether the Canadian gov
ernmeut Is discriminating against vessels
passing through the Wellend canal, and
whether that government has not placed
line OF vessels on the great lakes, sub
sidizing them so that they could carry
freight cheaper than American vessels.
The resolution authorizes the committee
TO SIT during recess and visit al points
necessary.
The senator made q long address, in
which he showed by documents that nu-
merous railroads, especially in Mihne-
sofa, had been leased by Canadian rail
roads and American owned railroads
were Disseminated against, and that the
Canadian Pacific railroad was subsidized
by that government $500, 900 per annu m.
He also claimed that American vessels
were obliged to pay excessive rates Of
toll in passing through the Welland and
st. Lawrence canals. He desired to call
attention to these injGstices and hoped
that the resolution would be adopted.
Senators Ooar and Mitchell also called
attention to other iniustices peypetrated
by railroads and vessels owned In Can
ada.
Senator German also supported the
resolution, and showed that this diserim-
ination by Canadian roads was virtually
authorized by the treaty of 1871, allow
ing Canadian railroad cars to cross the
line, loaded, without paying toll.
The discussion was carried On some
time, and 1t took political turn when
German stated that Levi p. Morton
owned Canadian stock.
The resolution was unanimously
sdopted.

tion was presented by Senator Blair to
open negotiations with Great Britain for
the purpose Of making a political union

praise him for his brilliancy as a COM

especially kind, and it eulogizes him at
length. 1t commends him highly for his
ability to control volunteers, and thinks
that the legacy that wilt be left By such
men as Sheridan, Grant, Sherman and

trusted, but 1t is madness TO leave them
