the public thai Or. Peppers visit was not
occasiCned by any alarming change in the Gen.
erals condition. IL was believed by those who
had followed the case closely that the General
had been attacked With sudden relapse, and
that heroic methods were necessary TO prolong
his life. Col nj. v. Sheridan, brother Of the
General, was reticent about tho condition Of the
patient since his arrival in Nonquitt but finally
he admitted. IL is said, chat the General was in
a bad way. This was really the first intimation
which had come from the sick mans cottage OF
the serious condition OF the General.
Throughout Saturday and Saturday night
Gen. Sheridan was attacked with those violent
fits of coughing which so alarmed his physicians
in Washington, and In which il was supposed he
would die The physicens resorted to the use
of oxygen to sustain life ana frequent applica-
lions were given him. They relieved him for a
shcrt time, but did not hnvo the good effect
which invariably followed their application
when no was in Washington. Then ths electric
battery was called into requisition, and from it's
frequent use mOnentary good results were OBJ
tanned. The General grew weaker all through
che day and night. The distressing. suffocatng

rotchins after vomiting rather than an attempt

tho physicians that dissolution was Mt hand.
Throughout tho night Drs. OReilly, Yarrow,
Matthews and Pepper wcrkod earnestly with the
patient The Generals devoted wife was con-
stantly at his side ministering to his wants
under the direction Of tho physicians. The
trained nurses from tho Baltimore Con-
vent and Colonel Mike Sheridan were
also in constant attendance. The sue

Gen. Sheridan's Demise.

DR.. WAliam Pepper, of Philadelphia,
was much surprised when informed of
Gen. Sheridan's sudden death, as when
he visited him only few days before
death he was improving rapidly and felt
most sanguine aud continent of his own
recovery. The Doctor gives the following
official opinion of the case and its treat
mont:
At the time of the early attacks the heart fail
ure WAS SO intense that the walls Of the heart
contracted very impCriectly and the cavities
became rapidly and greatly dilatod. This was
much increased by the mechanical obstruction
due TO the organic disease OF tho valves OF the
heart which had existed for many months. In
this state some heart-clot must have formed
and for some time alarming attacks ro-
Cured unexpectedly, apparently due to
which were carried from the right side OF the
heart into the lungs. The most alarming spell
was connected with the development OF an ex-
tensive infrac ion Of the lower lobe OF the right
lung, followed by the development OF aneurisms
around it. For weeks this was a constant source
OF anxiety, but gradually IL cleared away the
heart gained power, its cavities contracted bet
ter, and the spells above mentioned crew less
apparent and sofous.
1Mhen the heart trouble was at its worst grave
symptoms OF congestion showed themselves
everywhere The brain suffered, the liver and
stomach were so much engorged that hemor-
rhages occurred and were a mo SC fatal. From the
shock the kidneys also suffered, as was shown
by scanty, albuminous urine aud swelling OF
the feet But as the heart slowly improved all
these complications ,ubsided This was graft
flying, and justified the hope that gradually
there would DO return to bett r
health IL no untoward complications should
occur again. But inevitably a patient
with extensive organic disease OF tho heart (as in
all probability existol herel, with fragments OF
heart clot adhering TO the lining Is continually
in danger OF fatal heart failure, and OF sudden
detachment OF fragments OF such sizs that II car

suits will follow. On Sunday evening at time

An official report, made after the

the most extensive and complete de-

the sudden ignition of coal gas, mixed

The explosion occurred July 25, 1887, in
Upper Silesia, Germany. Twenty-Five
