DEATH OF JACOB SHARP.
HIS FAITHFUL WIFE AT HIS BEDSIDE.

HIS SYSTEM UNABLE TO STAND TIE SEVERE STRAIN
TO WHICH IT HAS BEEN SUBMITTED.
Jacob Sharp died at his home, No. 354 West
Twenty-third-st. at 30 p. m. yesterday 1t
was the inevitable end which his physician had
predicted, and which was indicated in THE TRIB-
USE yesterday The final struggle was distress
ing one for the members Of the family who
witnessed It, for death came as the sequence to
q violent fit Of coughing and vomiting. Heart
disease and heart sickness, diabetes and the dread
pneumonia had done their combined work against
which Mr.. Sharp's weakened vitality and his VIII
made valueless through delirium no longer awaited
him.
When the final moment came Mrs Sharp his
aged and ever-faithful wife, was at his side, and
his two daughters, Mira Stevens and Mrs. Selmes,
were with him. Mr.. Selmes his son-in-law, who
had watched good part Of the previous night
and who had thrown himself down for SNORT
rest was hastily summoSed by George Sharp tne
grandson, and the two stood by with the rest OF
his family helpless to aid the dying man. Dr.
Alfred l.. LOOMS arrived at $3.50 p. IN. and simply
announced that Mr. Sharp was dead. Mrs Sharp
was led from the room overwhelmed with grleL
The daughters bore the final scene more calmly.
Mr. Sharp had been sinking all day. He did not
regain consciousness and had not recognized even
his wife since late Monday night.
DR.. LOOMS was hastily summoned at 8 o. m:
Yesterday as Mr.. Sharp's family thought that
death was ABOUT TO come 10 the renoA VI olo
sufferer violent ft Of coughing and vomiting
led the watchers to think that the final moment
had come DR. LOOMS remained about an hour,
and the patient became easier. DR.. LOOMS told
the family then that Mr.. Sharp might possibly
live through the day, but that he could not hold
out for another night. At II a. m. the physician
called again and found that Mr.. Sharp had grown
perceptibly weaker since the early morning
To the account OF Mr.. Sharps life and OF ms
final illness, as published In THE lRIBUNE yester-
day. there is little to be added now. Mr. Sharp
was supposed to be worth several mill lion dollars
Besides the house in which he died the principal
him is the farm near Rome, n Y, consisting OF
ga acres. 1t was Mr.. Sharp's pride; it was we'll
stocked, supplied with the most improved agri-
cultural implements and well fenced. Mrs
Sharp, her daughters, Mrs Stevens. of Rome, Mrs.
Selmes and George Sharp, the only child Of Mr..
Sharp's son, who died some years ago, survive
him. The funeral arrangements will DO an
nounced to-day
