Phineas Taylor Barnum died a few even
ings ago at Marina. his beautiful home by
the Sound, Bridgeport, Conn.,, as the hands
OF the big old-fashioned clock in the hallway
close by his bed pointed to thirty-two min
utes after six o'clock, and thus death con-
auered in the long struggle which the veteran
Snowman had SO gallantly carried on for the
last fifteen weeks
A decided change for the worse occurred
at II o'clock the night before. Mr.. Barnum's
heart action, pulse and respiration grew
sensibly feebler. At 4 O'Clock next morning
he relapsed into semi-consciOus condition.
From that time till his death he was un-
conscious
Mr.. Barnum had no organic disease. His
sickness began with cold. The weakness
Of age made it impossible for him to regain
his strength. Warned by his long sickness,
yearly all the family were at his bedside.
Mr. Barnum leaves widow, who was his
second wife, By his first wife he had three
daughters. The eldest, Mrs. D. W.
Thompson, wife of a retired Custom
House officer; lives at No 1o7
West Ninety-third street, New York.
A second daughter, Mrs. Nathan Seely, died
several years ago, leaving two sons, Clinton
Barnum Seely and Herbert Barnum Seelv,
and one daughter. The two grandsons are
the only two male heirs of the great show
man.

''What were the receipts yesterday?' he
asked.

Then, when the sick man had assured him

the exact figures.
Yes was his comment, ''that's good, but
It isn't up to the receipts of the Olympia in
London, mentioning the exact figures, thus
showing the wonderful tenacity of his mind,
unaffected by the direct bodily extremity.
Mr.. Barnums fortune is estimated at
5000 900. He desired only the plainest
funeral. A plain, deal coffin covered with
black cloth is what he wanted. He would
oot listen to the proposal that his body
should lie in state.

NICELY BROTHERS HANGED.

Died Protesting Their Innocence
After Strenuous Efforts to Escape.
David and Joseph Nicely, brothers, were
hanged at Somerset at a quarter to two on q
recent afternoon. They protested their in
nocence to the last and died game. Death
resulted from strangulation.
The crime for which they were hanged was
committed on the evening of February 81,
1889, and was surrounded with many mys-
terious circumstances which added great in
terest to the murder and the trial of the pris-
oners.
On the night in question two disguised men
entered the house of Herman Umberger, q
farmer, who was known to have a large sum
of money in his possession on the pretence
that they were officers Of the law and were
looking for plumber which a Hebrew peddler
had secreted somewhere in the neigh
borhood. Being allowed to search the
house, they finally found the pocketbooks.
which contained from $16, 600 to SIC, 600, and
put them in their pockets. Umberger OBJ
jecting, they shot him in the presence Of his
wife and other members of the household.
Suspicion fell ON the Nicely brothers, who
lived some fifteen miles from Umberger and
were well to do from the fact that they had
been seen in the neighborhood Of TIMBER
gers house. They were arrested. tried and
convicted on circumstantial evidence which
was deemed conclusive. Then followed an
alleged confession from one Beach, who

q new trial, the Nicelys made two attempts
to escape. but were recaptured. Being re-
fused a pardon, they finally suffered the ex-
treme penalty OF the law-which meets with
