she died of consumption at Cannes,
France, leaving three children.

sided in Washington, and for many years
in fine mansion on II street. He has
ever been public spirited citizen, and
has done a great deal of beneficial work,
constantly using his wealth for the aid
and advancement of worthy objects, In
1871 he foundel an institution on Massa
