For hours members of the household had
been watching at the bedside waiting to see
life depart. Although the physicians de-

Some of His High Honors.
Sir John Macdonald was created Knight
Grand Cross of the Bath in November, 1884;
was nominated a member of Her Maiesty's
Prlvy Council in July, 1872; made Knight
Grand Cross of the ROYAL Order of Isabel of
Spain in 1872 and received the honorary de-
gree Of ID. c. l.. from Oxford University in
1865. -
He married, first, Isabella, daughter of
the late Alexander Clark, Esq.,, Of Dalna-
vert, Invernesshire, Scotland, who died in
1856, and secondly, in 1867, Susan Agnes,
daughter of the late Hon. I. j. Bernard, a
member of Her Maiesty's Privy Council
of the island of Jamaica. Endowed with
abundant energy, surprising tact and in
tense devotion to her husbands interests,
thoroughly informed as to all the questions
of the day, courteous, hospitable, consid-
crate, Lady Macdonald is the central figure
in the social life of the capital and no unim-
portant factor in its political life also. They
had one child
No one who knew Sir John could fail to
note resemblance to the late Earl of Bea-
consheld. Tall and 1.-THE in figure, slightly
stopped, as became a lifelong student, with
rich, waving locks of fast silvering hair,
smooth shaven face, corrugated like a
glacier-scarred rock by network of seams
and wrinkles, wherein the most opposite
emotions played hide-and-seek with enc an
other according to the mood of the moment;
bright bird-like eyes, observant of every
thing around, and a quick, gliding step,
whose jaunty grace and fast growing burden
df years had not yet impaired-such were the
Premier's most striking physical charac-
teristics

A Hot Fight in the Democratic Primaries
Between Rose and Linton.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
JoHNSTowN, June 6-The hottest polit-
ical fight ever known in Cambria county
has just closed with tM Democratic prima-
ries held here to-day. The contest was be-
tween W. Horace Rose, present Mayor of
Johnstown, and Colonel John P. Linton.
While the principals carried themselves
with dignity somewhat becoming the
Office to which they aspired, their friends
made an intensely bitter and personal affair
of it. In addition to pointing out the moral
and physical defects of each other, each
took great pains to prove that were his can
didate not nominated the party would not
be able to elect the other, and Republican
would be elected.
Latest advices indicate that the fight has
narrowed down between Linton and Rose,
with tn chances slightly in favor of Linton.
The Republican candidate will be Judge
Barker, the present occupant of the bench.
