A GOOD MAN GONE.
Death of Henry w. Grady, the Grea'
Southern Orator and Editor.

Death of Henry w. Grady, the Great
Southern Orator and Editor.
Henry w. Grady, the brilliant young
orator and editor of the Atlanta Con-
stitution, is dead. During his recent
visit to Boston to attend banquet, at
which ex-President Cleveland was
guest and a speech maker, he con-
tracted typhoid pneumonia, which de-
veloped Immediately upon his return to
Atlanta, and ended in his demise. Mr..
Grady was the most conspicuous repre-
sentative of the great South. and was
beloved by all the people who claim
that part of the United States as their
home. He was only thirty-eight years
of age, yet within the last ten years
had achieved fame as an editor, as an
orator of great eloquence and power
and as a broad-minded man, who, while
loving the South, yet recognized that
the old war issues were dead, and that
the duty of all Northern and Southern
sons of the blood -bathed flag was to
help the body of the people to forget
the animosities and differences of the
past and join hands in working for the
future advancement of the whole
country. He labored zealously for
the best interests of his beloved
South on this line, and the
laying aside of sectionalism which
has begun to take such gratifying form
is due very largely to his logic, his elo-
quence and his earnestness of purpose.
Indeed it was in this cause that he met
his death. He attended the Boston BAN
quet as the brilliant representative of
the Southern people, and made one OF
his characteristic speeches there, shar-
ing with ex-President Cleveland the
honOrs of the occasion. 1t was on this
mission that he was stricken by disease.
In his own words, he fell talking for the
South, even as his father fell fighting
for it. And it is a fitting tribute to his
memory that his battle for the land he
loved was one whereof the weapons were
reason, generosity, charity and love as
opposed to the fire and sword of his
fathers strife. 1t was his fortune to
hold warm place in the hearts of all
not because he opposed or
hated the North, but because he sought
to bring the erstwhile antagonistic sec
tions into that union of sentiment as
well as of being which marks the typical
republic. 1t may be well said of Henry
w. Grady: "He was the foremost South
ern man of his time."-Chicago Mail

The Veteran Pennsylvanlan q Victim Of
Cancer, and Not Only His Career in Con-
gress, but HIS Life May be Ended In q
Very Short Time.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The Father OF
the House of Representatives, the cham
pion of protection, the veteran legisla-
tor, VIM. ID. Kelley, of Pennsylvania,
has probably been on the floor of
floor of the House for the last time. On
the day when the Fifty-frst Congress
assembled Judge Kelley was in his
place, and since that time he has prob-
ably been at the Capitol twice or three
times His enfeebled condition was the
subject of much comment, but only
few know the nature of the judges all
ment. 1t is now fully developed and
its activity is most virulent. just be-
low the rear of Judge Kelley's jaw is a
cancer, and it is spreading rapidly into
the throat. SO quickly has it worked
that the afflicted man can only speak in
whispers, and then not without pain.
The swallowing of nourishment is a
matter of considerable difficulty and
locomotion can only be indulged in to a
very small extent. Several of Judge
Kelley's relatives have been here dur
ing the last few days, and his daughter,
Mrs Hosmer, wanted to take him home
with her, but his condition was such
that removal was regarded as impossi-
BILE by the physicians, so the Judge is
still in his room at the Biggs House.

THE ROMANOFFS' NEMESIS.

Assassination Lurking In the Very Air
They Breathe - Conspirators Against
Their Lives Among Those High In I'M
perial Favor - The Latest Discovered
Plot.
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 4.-The arrest
of the notorious Nihilist leader, Pierra
Gross, at Warsaw, has been productive
of disclosures far more startling than
any of the alarming revelations which
have come to the police within the last
few days, appalling as they have been.
From letters and documents concealed
in his clothing the most damning evil
dence is obtained against many persons
high in imperial favor and authority,
contemplating not the assassination of
the Car alone, but the murder of the
entire reigning family as well. AL
ready many of the consplrators have
been taken into custody, and those still
at large are under espionage or being
tracked by relentless police officials to
the end of their lodgment in prison,
whence they will almost certainly go to
their death. Several of the implicated
persons were apprehended while at
tempting to leave the country.

willis Gaylord, a Once Prosperous New
York Merchant, Ends His Life by Hang
ing in the Philadelphia Jail.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 3.-Willis Gay
Iord who had been in official custody
for nearly two months and who had en-
joyed more privileges than have usual
ly been accorded to a man charged with
a crime, committed suicide in the coun-
ty prison this morning by hanging him
eelf to the bars of his cell. Gaylord's
case is very peculiar one. He was
about forty years of age, finely
formed, and from his actions
and speech very much of a gentleman.
He was prosperous merchant in New
York City until about three months ago,
when matters began to take turn for
the worse and he found himself unable
to meet his obligations. The most i'm
portant of these was a debt of $50, 900
which Frederick A. Babcock, of New
York, alleged was due him. Suit was
begun against Gaylord in New York
courts, but he left the city and came to
Philadelphia. Babcock followed and
had him arrested.

4 Bridge Span Blown Down in Massa-
chusets, Carrying One Man to His Death
and Injuring Two Others.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Jan. 3.-The fifth
span of the new iron bridge which is
being built between Holyoke and South
Hadley Falls was blown down at about
ten o'clock this morning, and a work
man named Maurice Driscoll, of Eagle
Bridge, N. Y, was killed. Two other
men who were at work on the
bridge were injured. Driscoll was
on top of the truss on the north
side when it went over, and was car
ried down with the iron work into the
river seventy feet below. He was
probable killed before striking the
water. A workman named McCloskey
was rescued from the river after the ac-
cident, being found hanging to one of
the stringers of the bridge. About
thirty men were at work on the span,
but as soon as the trusses began to set
tie they were given warning and all but
the three mentioned escaped. Some
pedestrians and carriages had narrow
escapes.

the Ludlow-street Jail Simon Baruch,
the Austrian who was held in default of

charged, but was re-arrested before he
could return to the State from which he
was taken. Judge Brown gave him
twenty-four hours to get back to New
Jersey.

SHERMAN'S SCHEME.
Its Only Object Is to Make Text for
Bloody shirt Speeches.

Bloody-Shirt spoecnes.
Senator Sherman has reintroduced
his Federal Election bill, in substantial
ly the same form as year ago. Briefly
summarized, it takes the control of the
election of Congressman entirely away
from the people of State, and turns it
over to canvassing and electoral boards
appointed for life by the President. OF
course the Northern States will not
submit to such treatment Indeed, all
that it seems necessary to say about the
scheme was SO we'll said a year ago by
the Worcester Spy, that we reprint its
comments as covering the whole ground:
Senator Sherman's plan would establish a
new and distinct system Of registration and
election in every State, entirely independent Of
and separate from the State election system;
and this intrusion of an external authority
and substitution Of q novel and separate eiec-
tion machinery for that which Is familiar,
established by State authority, and conducted
by local oiieers. would be unweleomed and irri-
tating everywhere, and not least in those
States and communities where elections have
Always been conducted with substantial fair.
