He Suffered No Pain for the Last
Two Days.
New YORK, Feb. little following
official statement of the scenes at the
deathbed of Gen. Sherman and the ar
rangements for the funeral was given
out late in the afternoon by Lieut..
Fitch:
Gen. Sherman lay in bed from Friday
morning until he died to-day. without
speaking word. He made the at
tempt to do SO several times, but was
unable to utter sound other than a
hoarse gasp. He apparently recognized
those about him by a look of the eye.
His tongue was swollen and his jaws
were stiff some hours before he died.
Signs of death were noticed half an
hour before he died, in the icy GOODNESS
gradually extended to his hands and
arms. lie was unconscious for the last
two hours he was alive. At the bed
side were his son p. L. Sherman,
his daughters Rachel and Lizzie,
Lieut.. and Mrs. Fitch, Lieut.. and
Mrs. Thackera; Senator John Sherman,
DR.. Alexander and Gen. Thomas Ewing.
The two daughters remained kneelihg
one at each side of the bed during the
last hour of the life of their father. No
priest or clergyman was present, nci-
Their were any called. No priest has en-
tered the house since Father Taylor
called. The general did not suffer any
pain for the past two days. He also re-
queSted that the funeral be strictly
military one. He said that he did not
care particularly for any military OBJ
servances here in New York. but that
he did want military burial in st.
Louis, which would be participated in
by his old comrades in arms.
He also requested that the funeral
rites lie not in conformity with any par
ticuIar form of religion. He wanted
soldiers burial. The body is now lying
embalmed in the room where the gen
eral died-the back room on the second
floor. The features are natural, with
the exception of slight swelling on the
right jaw and under both eyes. The
eyes are closed and the arms folded
across the breast. In the house at the
time death came others than

their son Alfred W. Hoyt, Mrs. Colgate
Hoyt, Miss Mary Ewing, and the wife
of Gen.Kilpatrick. Senator John Sher-
man left the house early in the after
noon, and went to the house of Mrs.
Colgate Hoyt, where he will remain
until the departure for st. Lonis. Over
a thousand kilograms have been re-
ceived, and will be made public to-mor-
row. A formal announcement of the
generals death was sent to President
Harrison, Vice President Morton, Sec
rotary of War Proctor. Secretary of
State Blaine, Secretary Noble and Gen.

Their Dead,

veterans called at the house in the even
ing. They expressed surprise when
more surprised when told that Gen.
Sherman's body will not lie in state.
Its pretty hard not to be able to look
on the face OF our old commander
again." said one, and this seemed the
opinion also of his companions. A mil
itary guard was placed in the hallway
of the residence at 7:30 o'clock in the
evening, and will remain there until the
body is removed. The guard consists of
two men from Battery NJ, First regi-
ment United States artillery. AT half
past eleven o'clock the guard of honor
was changed ana the house closed for
the night. Many messages of condol-
ence that arrived after 10 O'Clock from
all parts of the country were held by
orders for delivery in the morning. The
following telegramS were received by

After the ball game the 100-yards race
between Elmer Foster and Walter Will

Anecdotes of the Man the Soldiers
loved

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. 14.-Few men in
the country were better known person.
ally than Gen. Sherman, and multi
tude of anecdotes are told of him. He
was noted for his pproaehableness; no
man ever made his rank less felt,
and he had intimate friends in every
walk in life. Uncle Billy" as
he was called by his soldiers,
was the favorite subject of camp fire
anecdotes, and a number of stories are
told illustrating his rough and ready
manner OF conducting business, and his
quickness of repartee. Shortly after
the outbreak of the Rebellion Sherman
was sent to Washington, where he was
placed in charge of number of the new
levies. all three-months men. Their
ideas in regard to discipline were as
misty as they were liberal, and it was
very hard to convince the Off
GERS and men that they could
not do exactly as they pleased.
1t happened that the term of
enlistment of several regiments ran out,
but they were not discharged. This the
men regarded as a great hardship, and
many walked off without asking per-
mission of any one and betook them
selves to their homes. One morning as
Gel. Sherman was crossing Long bridge
he met major under his command in
full uniform walking toward the city,
He asked him why he was absent from
his post, and the major replied that
the time for which he had en-
listed had expired, and that he meant
to go home. Sherman saw that
strong measures were necessary. and
said: ''If you don't at once go back to
your regiment | will shoot you" The
major stood not ON the order of his go
ing, but retired with speed. On the fol-
lowing day there was divisional re-
view, and Sherman was sitting on his
horse, near President LincoIn's car

Unless all signs fail the glove contest
Tuesday night, before the Twin City

that the sport will be conducted with
fairness and within the bounds of pro-

will be as perfect as they can be made.
The fact that a large delegation is com
Ing from Chicago, and that Omaha,
Kansas City and other cities at cOnSid-
cradle distance from Minneapolis are to

interest is felt throughout the country
in the event. A special train has been

has had Isl fights without defeat. and
has given ample evidence of gameness.
He is expected to arrive tonight with
his trainer, and the Chicago delegation
will get TO Minneapolis Tuesday morn
ing.
Opinions differ as to the outcome, but
both the Minneapolis and st. Paul
sports feel that Needham is a sure win
ner, although they seem to think that
he will not defeat Ryan easily, and
hardly any one of them believes
that the question of superiority
will be settled within less than
twenty or thirty rounds. Ampi-
theater seats are being placed in the
clubs gymnasium and are being re-
served in advance so rapidly that by
Tuesday every seat will probably have
been spoken for, The rule requiring
all present to be members will be
rightly enforced, and courtesies will be
extended only TO members of the press.

row Escape.
New YORK, Feb. 14.--While the clerks
on the Main street side of the postoffice
were receiving and distributing the
mails from the steamer Celtic to-
night the electric lights were eX-
tinguished and smoke puffed up from
below. There were about twenty-five
clerks in the room, and they ran out
Into the street. Nail bags were soon
dragged out of the building, while the
loose mail was hastily dumped into
baskets, and dragged to places Of safety.
The fremen succeeded, after about an
hours hard work, in eYtinguishing the
flames. According to Supt. Hall, of the
newspaper department, not letter was
burned. He was positive also that none
of the 1890 bags of foreign mail news
papers were injured except by water.
There will be considerable delay in get
ing off all outgoing mail matter to-day.
Soon after the fire started the fremen
discovered two Italian newspaper
boys down an elevator shaft where
they had craWled down to sleep over
the boiler. They were pulled out badly
burned and taken to the hospital. One
of them. Guissepi Michael, thirteen
years old, will probably die of his in
juries. The other. John Gerbarino.
seventeen years old, was less severely
burned, and will probably recover. A
fireman employed in the engine room
was nearly suffocated by smoke. and
would have lost his life had it not been
for the firemen. who rescued him. One
of the firemen was overcome by smoke,
but recovered on reaching the open air.

Conclude Their Labors.


CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-THE new COM
mittee appointed to prepare schedule
for the Western association, and which
consisted Of Grant, of Omaha, Rowe, of
Lincoln, and Watkins, Of st. Paul, were
hard at work all day. The northern
clubs insisted upon opening play in
their own localities and the southern
elements made similar demands. while
every club appeared to have issued an
ultimatum that it would play the
holiday games in its own towns and
nowhere else. In trying to please
everybody the committee had more
work on its hands than it bargained for.
II is said that Sioux City had good
chance of getting JantZen, who has just
been released by Milwaukee, and that
Boston may put up money enough to Sc
cure Duke, of Minneapolis. The sched-
ule committee concluded its laborS late
this evening with the adoption Of
playing schedule. The case of Grim. of
Milwaukee, who is claimed by Roches-
ter, was referred to President Thur
man, Rochester asking for more time.
A basis Of 80 per cent for visiting clubs
was adopted, with the prOviso that all
clubs playing in Denver should receive
a guarantee of $50.
The schedule fixes the opening games
in the various cities as follows:
April 16-Milvaukee at Omaha; Minneap-
oils at Lincoln; Sioux City ut Denver; st.
