might be said of the trip through Peuusyl. Ma
and New York. The journey was not so Iona,

In this city in good condition, complaining only
OF a cold which had ssized him several days ago,
when he attended and spoke in the open air &C
the funeral OF en- old friend. This cold showed
itself In slight hoarsenese, aud caused the
Judge only slight discomfort in talking. To-
DAY great many friends and admirers called
at the hotel and found him bright and
chatty. quick to catch remarks, and apt in his
responses. To all OF these there was no sign Of
illness. To the Associated Press representative
who. for several hours, was in the psrlor. and
could zee the Judge under various circumstances,
there was 20 sign of any trouble. At 3 o'clock
Mr. Allen w. Thurman, the Judges son, felt
that his father was getting well that there
was no need for him to remain later, and went
to his room to rest Half an hour later the
Associated Press representative left with

cold. short time ssterward be was taken
sick, and it was greatly feared that be would
not be able to speak. The regular hotel ply
sician was called, and pronounced it a plain,
old-fashioned case OF cholera morbus. Under
his care the Judge quickly rallied spd felt so
much better that IL was thought he could speak
at some length. However. when he attempted
TO do so, he found he had over-estimated his
strength, a slight faintness overcoming him and
compelling him TO desist He WAS carried
to his room at the hotsl and put to
bed, the physician being of the
opinion that rest was the best
medicine. The Judge seemed to he of the same
opinion, for he quickly passed into a natural
sleep. When the Associated Press representa-
tive called on him, few minutes before 10
o'clock, he found him fast asleep, apparently en-
joyine restful slumber. just what the cause OF
the illness might be would REQUIRE the Judg-

It is possible that the remarkably fast travel

had something 20 do with it. The party trav-

which is much lighter than an ordinary parlor
car. This was on the end of long train, which
left Columbus thirty-seyen minutes late and
reached Jersey City exactly on time although
its schedule time from Columbus is nipe-

those who had experienced the stormy passage
Of that little lake, two weeks ago. were inclined
to agree with him. Between Steubenville and
Pittsbure the train tore around the many curves

the train seemed to be treated almost as the

homo is q few miles away, on Long

evening, and finding him unwell remained
with him for some time as a nurse. There was
nothing alarming iu his condition, and she could
only spssk of his vigorous appearances. She
told the Associated Press reprsseptstive that
she had never seen him looking better than
he was when she called on Wednesday, and her
feeling to night when she found him sick was
chiefly one Of surprise that he had been taken

to sleep rstiring and will undoubtedly sleep
till morning, TO arise rested and refreshed and
ready for whatever duty or pleasure may await
him.
