III GEN. SHERMAN'S ILLNESS.
a Brief Account Given by His Attending
Physician, DIR. Alexander.

a Brief Account Given by his Attending
Physician, DR.. Alexander.
DR.. C. 7. Alexander gave the history
Of Gen. Sherman's illness. The doctor
had been almost necessarily at the gen.
erals bedside from the time his illness
began, and he had not had more than
two hours sleep any day since Sunday.
The general, as is known, he said,
caught cold Wednesday week ago.
The next day he attended a wedding
against the urgent advice of the mem
bers of his family. On Friday I was
called in and found the general suffer
ing from q cold and sore throat. On
Saturday he felt so much better that he
wanted to keep an appointment he had
made for that day. On my advice,
however, he desisted and spent the day
playing cards, believe, with his family.
Erysipelas set in on Sunday. He was
Tightly that day, and on Monday he be-
came delirous. The erysipelas spread
over his face, and the lympathic glands
in his neck became swollen. Tuesday
he grew worse and I applied treatment
for the erysipelas. Wednesday came
and there was no change for the better
but Gen. Sherman slightly rallied Oh
| Thursday morning. His rally was not
| such to insure even a faint hope of his
recovery. Friday was the turning point
for the patient. The erysipelas haC
almost completely disappeared, but the
attack had left the general very mucl
weakened. His old complaint, bronchia
trouble and asthma, think. killed Gen
Sherman. In his weakened condition
| he was unable to throw off the mucui
which gathered. The mucus accumu
lated, and the general was slowl,
strangled to death. l think he suffered
greatly. There was always the qUicl
respiration, the gasp for breath, but h,
bore everything without murnur an,
no one could be more heroic. Sine
| Tuesday we had practically abandoned
all hope Of Gen. Sherman's recovery.

The Death of No Man in the World Would
Cause More Profound Sorrow.
NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-In this city the
feeling over Gen. Sherman's death is one
of profound sorrow. In every grade of
life the veteran soldier was known and
loved for his unselfsh services to his
country and his personal attributes.
Expressions of public men We're without
exception filed with sorrow and regret
for his taking off. Ex-senator Herman
said, and he voiced the opinion of all:
With the passing away of Gen. Sher-
man we lose the very last of the great
figures of the civil war. There is no
man left about whose personality is
grouped any of the great historical mem
cries or the idealism or the sentiment of
the struggle for the Union. He was a
man whose military and civil life were
untarnished by shadow of doubt or
suspicion, and his death will be regretted
as severely as that Of any man in the
world,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE president
sent the following message to congress:
To the senate and house Of representa-
tives: The death of William Tecumseh
Sherman, which took place at his resi-
dence in the city of New York, is an
event that viii bring sorrow to the
heart OF every patriotic citizen. No hy-
ing American was so loved and veneer
ated as he To look upon his face, to
hear his name, was to have ones love of
country intensified. He served his
country. not for fame, not out of a
sense OF professional duty, but for the
love OF the flag and Of the benefcent
civil institutions of which it was the
emblem.
re Was an Ideal Soldier.
and shared to the fullest the esprit du
corps Of the army, but he cherished the
civil institutions organized under the
constitution, and was only soldier that
these might be perpetuated in undimin-
ished usefulness and honor. He was in
nothing an imitator. A profound stud
ent of military science and precedent,
he drew from those principles and sug-
gestions, and so adapted them
to novel conditions, that his campaigns
viii continue to be the profitable
study Of the military profession through
out the world. His genial nature made
him comrade to every soldier of the great
union army. His career was complete;
his honors were full. He had received
from the government the highest rank
known to our military establishment,
and from the people
Unstinted Gratitude and Love.
No word of mine can add to his fame.
His death followed ins startling quick
ness that of the admiral Of the navy,
and it is sad and notable incident that
when the department under which he
served shall have put on the usual en-
blems of mourning, four of the eight ex-
ecutive departments will be simultan-
eously draped in black, and one other
has out to-day removed the Grape from
its walls.

New YORK, Feb. 16.-Gen. Sherman's
end was peaceful-it could not have
been more so. He had been unconscious
all the morning, and had ceased to
struggle long before the coming of the
end.
The immediate cause OF death was
said to be the filing of his lungs with

throw off,
He had fought so long as particle OF
strength remained, and even at the
close his iron will was not vanquished.

man, now speeding across the sea, had
come home to him. But death beckoned
and he had to go.
All the morning he lay dying, his
family grouped about his bed. His
struggles, which had been painful when
he returned to that semi-consciousness
which showed the proud, unccnquered
spirit that still lived within him, were
pitifully weak now. With all hope gone
the family prayed only for speedy end.
For hours they stood grouped about the
bed watching and waiting for the end.
Several times, it seemed as if it had
come, but once more the spirit struggled
back, and death was beaten off again.
But at ten minutes of there came a
change. The color and the look which
are noticeable only when death comes
suddenly spread over the drawn face,
and the nurse who had been bending
over him listening to the last faint hut-
tering Of his heart quickly Strengthened
up and said,
''He Is Dead"
Then young Thomas Ewing left the
mouse ana MS appearance, even before
he spoke word, was the signal to those
who waited without that all was over.
He fastened to the telegraph Office
around the corner, but the reporters
were before him and before he had
reached it the news of the generals
death was spreading far and wide over
the wires throughout the country.
Shortly after Secretary Barrett reached
the telegraph Office and sent messages
announcing the generals death to
President Harrison, Secretary Of State
Blaine, Secretary of War Proctor, Mrs.
Rusk. and many others. He could not
restrain his tears "He died ike babe
falling asleep" he said. "There was no
suffering, no pain. After 10 o'clock he
lay motionless, and but the very slight
est respiration showed that life still
existed
