Death warded Off by win Power.


A man named John Haley, at work this
spring on one of Titcomb's drives, came off
sick, having contracted severe cold, and
died yesterday afternoon of pneumonia at
Mr. Titcombs boarding house. At the time
Mr.. Haley was taken sick his wife was in
Minnesota, where he intended to join her as
soon as he got off the drive. A telegram
was sent her and she arrived here in season
only to see her husband alive, he seemingly

behold his wife before passing to the other

STILL THE LEADER.
The Party Friendly to Mr.. Blaine and
His Policies.

NEW YORK, May 30.-J. S. Clarkson, the
Iowa member of the Republican National
Committee and delegate to the Chicago con-
vention, said today that while Mr. Blaine's
letter puts the Maine statesman out of the
presidential race, he is still the party's lead
er, and the new situation can give no graft
iication to his enemies. The great mass of
the party and an overwhelming majority of
the national convention are not only friend
ly to the policies and ideas in public affairs
he stands for, but are friendly to him. 1t is
safe to say that the nominee will be one
friendly to him, and not his enemy, a man
loyal in 1884, and sound on protection, the
great issue on which the campaign is to be
fought. Mr.. Clarkson added that he Thought

The Lincoln Club Wants pepew.

The Lincoln Club of the XVIth Assembly
District had housewarming in its new club
house at Third avenue and Nineteenth street
last night A. p. Whitney, the delegate to
the National convention from the XVIth
District, was the principal speaker. He
said The deemed it time that he made known
his views as to the candidate who should re-
celye his support at Chicago, so that il they
did not agree with the men who sent him
there they could tell him so. After speaking
OF the rumor that he had heard in political
circles for the past two or three days that
William Walter Phelps had received letter
from Mr.. Blaine in which he positively
refused to accept the nomination he said that
he should certainly not support Mr.. Blaine
until he had heard further from him. But in
case the rumor concerning Mr.. Blaine was
true, he asked the members to instruct him
as to their second choice.
Almost before the words were out of his
mouth, Chauncey M. Depew's name was
mentioned by several voices at once and was
received with loud applause. Mr.. Whitney
SAID the meetings views coincided with his
exactly and that he should do all in his
power to nominate Mr.. Depew providing Mr.
Blaine should refuse to be candidate: and
that he would not withdraw his support
from pepew until he saw that the party was
unanimously in favor of another candidate

are that the Maine delegates to Chicago will
nearly all favor Chauncey Mr.. Depew, of

Deheuiction-. Rev. w. II. Livingston
Rev. Mr. Livingston spoke upon the SUBJ
ject, "Our Nations Dead" He said that
these words have for us each year deeper
and wider significance as time reveals more
and more the principles for which they laid
down their lives. The soldier in his life ac-
complishes the virtues of self denial posi-
tiyeness and energy. All honor then to the
Nations dead. May we ever be ready to
strike for God and our Native land"
Rev. Mr.. Stone spoke upon .'Our Debt to
the Living" He said while we honor our
fallen heroes we ought not to forget the
debt to the surviving comrades. Death was
not an evil. and blessed are those soldiers
who have done well and who have died for
their country. Yet for the living there had
been hospital sufferings, the toisome march,
the many lost and crippled limbs and the
hard camp life; death was far less than
these.
Rev. Mr.. Woodbury. spoke of the loyal
boys in Blue and of the principles for which
they fought. lie honored them for their de-
votion to the old flag.

the result is condition of vigorous
