Samuel S. Taylor, superintendent of
the city public schools. and an old and
respected citizen, joined the silent ma
jority late last night, dying of heart
failure upon Cedar street. near Aurora
avenue, a few minutes before 10
O'Clock. He had been in attendance
at meeting of the directors committee
of the Plymouth church, of which he
was member and deacon, and at $3.50
o'clock started home in the company of
I.ucien Warner, having been in eX-
cellent spirits and apparent good health
during the meeting. They had pEO-
ceeded up Wabasha street but short
distance when Mr.. Taylor complained
that it troubled him to breathe, and at
the suggestion of his companion they
stopped near Central avenue and leaned
against an iron railing until he recOv-
cred and was able to proceed. They then
walked slowly on towards Mr.. Taylor's
residence, and had gone but short
distance when he remarked that he
feared return of the attack. At the
corner of Aurora avenue and Cedar
street they were compelled to rest again,
this time sitting down upon the side
walk, from which Mr.. Taylor did not

the residence of q. l.. Lamprey in
quest of Stimulants, whereupon Mr..
Lamprey volunteered the use of his
carriage and stated that he would come
at once with some Stimulants to revive
the sufferer. Mr.. Warner fastened
back to the street corner where he had
left Mr.. Taylor, and very soon
after he arrived there the suf-
ferer fell over into his arms
and expired, death resulting within ten
minutes after the second attack and
before the arrival of Mr.. Lamprey.
He was at once taken in the carriage to
his late residence at 81 Bellevue;
avenue and the news broken to
his wife, who was almost craZed by
the shock. About three weeks ago Mr..
Taylor had severe attack of nervous
pTostration, caused by oyerwork, to
