Griffin, 81 Pearl street, in helpless osndi-
ton. DR.. A. G. Winchell was called and
found the suffers connition to be precari-
ous, the brain being seriously affected.
1t is the first attack of apoplexy he has had
and up to yesterday morning he was appar-
emily in the best Of health. These circum-
stances are in his favor, but his advanced age
of seventy years renders recovery doubtful.

till 1913. He has followed the sea for the
past fifty years, retiring only a few weeks
since. He has bsen around the world several
