| Gen. Joseph E. Johnston died a little after II
O'Clock Saturday evening at his residence, 1923
Connecticut avenue The immediate cause, as
given by the physicians, Was heart failure. but
the general had been a sufferer from a fatty
degeneration of the heart, the seriousness OF
which was increased by severe cold that he
took at the time of the Sherman funeral in New
York. His death had been expected for some
time past. though slight hopes Of his recovery
were entertained by his friends as late as Sat-
urday afternoon. At 5 o'clock DR.. Lincoln
called, but found no marked change in the con-
dition of his patient and decided that there was
no necessity for another visit during the even
ing.
THE END CALM AND PEACEFUL.
The generals end was a calm and peaceful
one. For "a hours preceding he had been
asleep most Of the time. About II o'clock Sat
urdsy evening ex-Gov. McLane Of Maryland,
who had been at the bedside of the patient for
more than fortnight past, had gone to his
room for the night. He was about to retire.
when Russell. the generals attendant, came to
call him with the news that there was marked
change for the worse in the sick mans condi-
ton. The governor went ut once TO the other
roOm but he had scarcely reached the bedside
when he saw that all was over. Gen. Johnston
| was dead. but so quietly and calmly had he
passed away that il hardly seemed as though it
could be.
