Is not vet quite out of danger. Dr.. Alien
said to-day that his patient had dis
obeyed all orders and had applied him
sell to closely and early to the duties of
his office, and had completely exhausted
himself at his desk. The Doctor has
given emphatic instructions that no one
be permitted to intrude upon Mr.. Pow
derry at present, and has decided
that the invalid must take trip TO the
South where he will be afforded an op-
portunity to recuperate. Although the
General Master Workman is a very sick
man, yesterday he granted brief
audience to the committee appointed
by the Philadelphia 4 Reading EN-
ployes and the miners association.
Owing to the illness of Mr.. Powderly,
no serious discussion of the

and short statement concerning
the present emergency, the committee
withdrew, concluding to have the dis

DIED sEEORE ms TRrAE.
Sudden Demise of immi Baldwin, tho
Fidelity Bank WreCker.

CINCINNATI, o., Jan. 5.-Ammi Bald
win, late cashier of the Fidelity National
Bank, died suddenly at O'Clock this
morning at his residence on Walnut
Hill. Mr.. Baldwin was indicted
with the other officers of the
Fidelity Bank, but for some rea-
son his bond was placed at $4,000,
and he was able to secure bondsmen,
and has not been in jail. In the absence
of specific information as TO the cause OF
his death, the theory of suicide is COM
mon among downtown people, who are
familiar with the family and who know
how much mental trouble the man has
undergone within the past ten years.
But the theory of suicide 70 prevalent
down town has no support whatever
from the physicians who attended Mr..
Baldwin. They say he died from the eff.
fects of a stroke of paralysis, claiming
that year ago he had slight attack
and was obliged To take a rest for some
time. On Tuesday night he retired in
his usual health. Yesterday morning
bis family found him lying unconscious
and all efforts to rouse him failed. He
never regained consciousness, but died
early this morning. Mr.. Baldwin was
