Lack Of suficient working capital and poor

cause for complaint. When the work was

not till the late Gov. BOdwell gave his quar-
antee that he would secure such ubserip-

the sudden and untimely death Of Mr.. Bod

pany was Withdrawn when IL could i'll afford
to loose his support. Since then some Of the

SUNSET" COX DEAD.
Death of the Well-Known New
York Congressman.
A Sketch of His Long and Event
full Public Career.

Congressman S. S. Cox died about half.
past o'clock in the evening at his home No.
13 East Twelfth street, New York city, from
peritonitis. His wife, DR.. Lockwood and a
few friends were at his bedside. He was con-
sciouS almost to the end. During the day he
recognized his wife, some of his friends and
an old colOred servant who came on from
Washington to see him.
Only few days before, Mr. Cox was pre-
pairing a speech on the new States embody-
ing his recent observations in the West, for
delivery before the Judge Steclller Associa-
tion, Democratic club in Second avenue
New York city. The title of his lecture was
''The Wonderland" The members of the
society met at their rooms, and sat about in
gloomy groups reading with anxiety the fire.
quent bulletins from Twelfth street, and at
length the news came that their friend had
gone to the Wonderland of which he could
tell them nothing.
There were many callers at the house dur
ing the day, and telegrams were received
from the Turkish Minister and other
who called were; General Fitz-John Porter,
George Francis Train, Congressman
John j. ONei of st. Louis; ex-Judge
Charles P. Daily, James M. Seymour
United States Marshal McMahon. General
Roger A. Pryor and John T. Agnew. Mrs
CoXS brother, II. Is. buckingham, of Zanes-
vile, Ohio, arrived in the afternoon, as also
did her sister, Mrs. Hardenburg
About two years ago Mr. Cox had a serious
illness from which it was not thought he could
recover, and the recollection of his wonderful
rally at that time, after the physicians had
pronounced his case hopeless caused his
friends to cherish the hope that the same
thing might happen again. Almost his last
words were in regard to the new States of the
great West, and plans which he had formed
for advocating the admission of New Mexico
and wyoming at the next session Of Con.
gress.
A change which told of the approaching
end took place early in the day, and in spite
of his cheerfulness and brave effort to hold
on to life he sunk gradually, and even at five
o'clock the doctors thought death so immi-
nent that members of the household were
summoned to the bedside.
