The sudden and entirely unexpected death OF Mr.
Chas. 5. Moore last evening great shock to his
friends and acquaintance He was apparently
In good health, and certainly in good spirits.
He was with number OF his friends during the
evening. About ~ O'Clock he was In Johnson's
restaurant eating luncheon, and after a hearty
meal he went out in company with Chas. +. Towle,
Edward johnson. W. +. Hudson, and c. VI. Smith.
While passing along 18th ST., between E and Penn
sylyania avenue, without warning OF any kind, he
fell forward on his knees and then toppled over TO
the pavement. When his friends lifted him up, to
their horror they found that he was dead. car
Rage was at once summoned and the body was
removed 10 his home, S2o 18th street northwest.
His mother and his two brothers were over
whelmed by the unexpectednesS OF the event.
His Intimate friends, Mr. VIM. Dickson and DR. Ii.
+. Leach. were notified and they rendered all the
aid possible to the afflicted family. DIR. STAN
ton and Dr. Leach made an examination,
and found that death was caused by cerebral
henorrhage. Coroner Patterson visited the house
this morning and gave certificate to that effect.
This was not the first attack OF this character
that had visited Mr. Moore. Five years ago he fell
on 9Th street. and It was thought then that he was
dead. few years later he had lighter attack OF
the same trouble while In New York He was
aware OF his tendency in this direction. and some
time ago he gave up cigarette smoking, as he
thought IL had an Injurious effect. He has been
spoken OF recently in connection with the position
OF district attorney, and his friends have been
tive In his behalf. Judge Macarthur warmly en-
dorsed him, and so did Gen. s S Henkle in whose
Orfice he read law. He had In addition. the sup
port or a number OF the members OF the bar and
prominent citizens, and naturally his mind had
become engroSsed To some extent In the canvass
which was being made In his behalf. II is thought
That the excitement growing out OF this might
have had something 10 do with this attack.
