Death of Gen. Jos, E. Johnston.

General Joseph E. Johnston, died Of
heart failure at his residence in Wash>
ington city, Saturday night, the 2lst OF
March. With him at the time were ex-
Gov. McLane, of Maryland, his brother
in law, and his nurse. A dispatch from
Washington dated on the 21st says His
death was very sudden, and few mos
msnts before dissolution there was no
outward appearance to Indicate it. He
then gasped feebly once or twice, and
the great leader of armies had himsels
obeyed the last summons.
General Johnston had been confined
to his room for several weeks. and du
ring the last few days had gradually
grown weaker. During the past twenty
four hours he had remained in semis
comatose condition and was aroused
with difficulty.
His death was SO peaceful that Gov.
McLane, who was at his bedside, could
not for several moments believe that tie
General was dead There was not IA sigh,
nor a movement, his heart ceased to beat
quietly as babe to sleep.
In addition to his heart trouble, the
General had contracted severe cold
when he recently acted as pail bearer at
the funerals of Admiral Porter and Gen.
Sherman.
Gen. Johnston was born near Farms
vile, Va, February 3, 1909. He gradu>
ated in the same class with Gen. r. E.
Lee, from West Point in 1929, and ranked
Lee at the outbreak of the rebellion, be-
ing his senior as general in the Confed
crate army. After the war he served in
congress from the Richmond, Va, dis
trict, and was subsequently commission
err of railroads, being appointed by Pres
ident Cleveland.
With the death of General Johnston
there is removed the last prominent fig
ure on either side in the great civil war.

Oscar s. Russell Dead.

Another distressing death was reported
last evening in the family OF Mr.. w. w Rus
sell, who lives about four miles from the city
in Henrico county.
A few days ago his son Warren died. and
now his second son. Oscar s. Russell. aged
eight. has fallen a victim TO diph liberia. A
little daughter. aged four years. is desperate
~ i'll from the same dread malady, and at a
late hour last evening she was not expected to
live until morning.
The death Of these two bright and promis-
ing BOYS is well nigh sufficient to distract the
fond parents, whose hearts were filed with
loving pride for the two boys as they ripened
into youth. The cordial and earnest sympa-
thy OF the entire community will 20 out to the
grief-stricken family, and their friends al
over the city will mourn with them in their
deep afliction.
