 the General Assembly and Pounded
 the Society for the Prevention of Crime. of little more than one week Dr. Howard Crosby died at 5:3O o'clock last evening at his home, 116 East Nineteenth street, from heart failure brought on by croupous pneumonia. That he knew his end was at hand is evidenced from the fact that an hour before he died he requested the nurse to bring him a sheet of paper, pen and ink. Without assistance he raised himself on his left elbow and with difficulty in- dited few farewell lines to his family and the members of his congregation. room quietly resting, and when the nurse made motion as if to call them he feebly raised his hand and shook his head.
 There Was No Hope.
 At this juncture Mrs. Crosby came into the room and sat by the bed, the note her husband had penned being on 8 small table close by. She looked at it, but refrained from speaking. Dr. Conrad, who had been in the house since o'clock, announced that there was no hope for the doctors re- covery, and shortly after he began to sink rapidly. At 5:20 the doctor, who was per fectly conscious, asked iu choking voice to be turned over on his right side, and when his wish was gratified he gasped g few times and died.
 The Deceased's Career.
 Rev. Dr. Howard Crosby was born in this city on Feb. 26, 1926. He received his early education here. When a schoolboy he was noted for his aptitude and courage of conviction, and displayed those charac- teristics of firmness and decision which so distinguished him in later life. He gradu- ated from the University of the City ot New York in 1S44.
 His learning commended him to the fac ulty of the university in which he had

graduated, and he was made it's professor of Greek in 1851. He filled this chair foz years, after which he accepted similar position in Rutgers. It was during this time that he became an ardent student of theology, and in 1851 entered the ministry of the Presbyterian church as pastor of the first church of New Brunswick, N. J. For some time he continued to discharge his ministerial duties as we'll as occupying the Greek chair. His sermons attracted wide attention. In 1863 he left New Brunswick and took charge of the Presbyterian church, this city, of which he was pastor to the time of his death.

He was appointed moderator of the general assembly of the United States. At the conclusion of the meeting he was congratulated upon his tact and good judgment as presiding off Ger.

The best medical skill that could be got worked as- siduously to save his life, but it was clearly apparent several days ago that his demise might be expected at any time, for pleu. risy and heart failure had set in The sad dest part is the fact that his wife is ill in Georgia and his son, who came here to care for him in the early part of his sickness was also taken i'll and had to return home. So far as is known his wife is not aware o1 her husbands death, nor is his son, but undoubtedly both will be apprised today The deceased represented the First Sos ben district. He was a Republican, and was elected to the assembly over Peter B. Pealer, who represented the same distric, the year previous.
