HIS LONG ILLNESS.

History Of the Malady Which Terminated
sheridan's Brilliant Career.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-The illness
which resulted In Gen. Sheridan's death
commenced on the 18th of May last, i'm
mediately after hts return from tour of
inspection out West. He complained OF
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 22, he had severe attack Of
heart failure, which greatly alarmed his
family and physicians. On account of
the effect 1t was feared the news would
have on the generals mother, who was
aged and in ilLhealth, an endeavor was
made to keep the more alarming phases
from the public, and it was not until the
end Of that week that the physicians adj
mitted the true character of the disease.
On Friday of the week ending May % he
had several attacks of heart failure, and
these increased In violence with each
succeeding attack. Several times dur
ing his illness 1t seemed az IL
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 10 beat for q
full second, but the extraordinary watch
fulness and care Of the attending physi-
clans brought him back to consciousness
again.
New complications set In and hope was
well nigh abandoned several times, only
to be renewed by the great vitality and
determination shown by the stricken
soldier. The history Of these relapses
and recoveries Is familiar to the readers
Of the daily press. with The approach OF
warm weather 1t was decided by the
physicians, after several consultations,
that the patient must be removed, as be
would be utterly unable in his weakened
state to Withstand period of prolonged
heat Accordingly, on Saturday, June
20, he was, after several delays, placed
on the United States ship Swatara and
taken to Nonquitt, Mass, which place he
reached after several stops, caused by
occurrences Of the heart trouble.

pearance of heart failure, at about $3.50,
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 q 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 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 9:2U 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'Rsilly
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 o 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.

here. His most intimate friends did not
suspect that he was near deaths door.
There were numerous callers at the resi-
dencs of Gen. Rucker, Gen. Sheridan's
father-in-law, Sunday night, and both
Gen. and Mrs. Rucker spoke very cheer
fully and hopefully Of his condition and
prospects. The news of his death did
not reach this city until nearly o'clock
owing to the condition Of the wires, and
then it was only known to handful Of
people. Neither the president nor secre-
tary of war was notified of his death
until the usual hour for arising Monday
morning. Flags on all public buildings
were placed at half-mast and in the de-
partments, and at the capitol there were
great expressions of regret.
The president was notified of the death
of Gen. Sheridan by telephone at Oak
view. He sent dispatch of coincidence
to Mrs. Sheridan. The customary orders
for the closing of departments will be is
sued by the president.
Col. Kellen, acting adjutant general of
the army, was notified by a dispatch at
1:30 a. m. Monday. He wrote hurried
reply and will leave for Nonquitt at
once. He said that so far as he knew
Sheridan had never expressed any wish
as to where he should be buried, and he
did not know what the funeral arrange
ments would be.
Meetings of Grand Army organizations
are being held and appropriate action
taken. No details are yet arranged with
reference to the funeral.
Gen. R. D. Musery, secretary Of the
Loyal Legion, of which Sheridan was
commander-in-chief,h has issued call for
a meeting of the organization to take
action on Sheridan's death.
Gen. and Mrs Rucker leave at once for
Nonquitt. Gen. Sheridan made will in
the latter part Of May, after his attack
of heart trouble. The property consists
chiefly of his house In Washington worth

A VERY SAD SURPRISE.

The Generals New York Friends Were
Shocked by the Death Messages.
NEW York, Aug. Cit was shock to
this city to learn Of Gen. Sheridan's IS
death in Mondays papers. Expressions
of deep regret are general. Flags through
out the city are at half mast. The gen.
erals friends had gained such confidence
in his recovery from favorable reports
from Nonquitt that his sudden death was
sad surprise. Action will be taken by
the military and other organizations as
soon as the programme Of the funeral is
arranged.

Mrs. sheridsn Frustrated upon the Full
Realization Of Her Sorrow.
NosourTT, Mass, Aug. 6.-All through
Sunday Gen. Sheridan had been in nm
usually geod spirits, laughing and chat
ting with his brother and members Of the
family. At 1850 DR.. Matthews said the
general was doing SO well that there
would probably be no bulletins issued for
Q week. After dinner at the hotel, Mrs.
6hsridan 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.

Sheridan says the funeral party viii leave
Wednesday by special boat for New Bed

From Boston the route will be the New
York and New England railroad to New
York and the Pennsylvania railroad to
Washington. No services will be held at
Nonquitt. The offer by the governor Of
Massachusetts, of a guard of honor has
been declined on account of Mrs. Sheri-
dams desire to avoid any unnecessary dis
play. The family are very appreciative,
however, of the honor conferred.

startling phenomenon. The calves were

from each other, and it was with great
difficulty that they moved their heads.
At last it was discovered that the two
animals were joined together from the
breast clear up to the neck, and the front
feet of each calf was wrapped around the
other. In. this POSITION they laid until
sundown that afternoon, when they both
died.

New Tribes Of Indians.

The great table land of Matto Crosse,
in the western part of Brazil, is still one
of the least known portions of South
America. When DR.. Clauss and DR.. Won
den Steinen penetrated it several years
ago, and followed the large Xingu river
from its head waters to the Amazon,
they foated down about 1000 miles
before they reached the known portion of
the river. They did not have time to
adequately study the strange and un.
heard of Indian tribes they met amid
these dense forests and barren uplands,
and for the purpose of making further
researches among them DR.. Won den
Stefnen returned to the upper Xingu last
wear. He visited the villages of nine of
the three tribes, and in recent lecture
in Rio de Janeiro he gave the interesting
results of his studies.
There is hardly a corner of the earth
whose people have not had some inkling
of the great world beyond them. But
these primitive natives of the upper
Xingu, had apparently, never seen
scrap of trade goods or heard that human
beings existed outside their little circle
of observation. They use no metal i'm.
plements, but fell trees with stone axes
to clear the ground for their plantations
of Indian corn, cotton and tobacco.
Wearing she'll ornaments, they use ham.
mers and nails of stone to perforate them.
They make knives ont of shells and the
sharp teeth of 8 certain 6sb, and with
these poor tools they carve their rudely
ornamented stools aud weapons.
Dogs and fowls are found in all parts
of the Amazon valley that have been
visited by traders, but these Xingu tribes
have never heard of them. Neither have
they any knowledge Of the banana, sugar
cane, and rice, with which natives of the
tropicel zone are generally familiar.
They have not the slightest conception
of a God, but they believe they will live
again after death. Their most important
myth relates to the creation of the world,
which, 10 their view, consists wholly of
the head waters Of the upper Xingu and
Tapajos Rivers.
From the languages and pottery of all
but one of these tribes the explorer de
rived the idea that these isolated peoples
are allied to the original stock of the
once powerful Caribs, who journey.
ed from the South to the sea. One
tribe differed so greatly from all
Others that he was unable to trace its re-
lation to any other people. These peoples
are almost wholly isolated even from
each other, and their languages. though
of the same derivation, are SO dissimilar
that the tribes can not understand each
other. Few people exist to day who
are go primitive 10 their ideas and so
low in the social scale as these new found
Indians of South America.

The Craze in Chicago.

/. CHICAGO, October 1.-The excitement
on Change over the September deal in
wheat ceased on Saturday only to oe re-

shorts in September wheat would do and
what course Hutchinson would pursue
were theuppermost thoughts in the minds
ofall.
It was learned through the delivery
clerk that about 750, 900 bushels of Octo-
ber wheat passed around on the toor.
Over half of this was credited to Hutch.
inson. The general belief was that ne
was letting 60 of October pretty freely IN
order to ease the situation, but it did not
ease. 800
When the opening bell tapped at 1880
another wild scene occurred in the wheat
nit. The volume of trading was enor'
nous. The failures of Frank Clifton &
o. and S. C. Orr & Co. only added to
the excitement on the floor. 1t was
about IL A. NJ. when the news of the
failures became generally known.
