NEW ENGLAND ROAD MUST PAY.
ON Account of Injuries.
The New York Sc New England rail-
road has come out second best in the
legal contest in which it has been en-
gagged with one of it's former employees,
William B. Miller.
Yesterday the jury i'm the fourth ses-
sion of the superior court came in and
made an announcement to the effect
that Miller was entitled 10 "a 900 from
the col pOratiOn On account of in iurleS
which he sustained while in the employ
of the railroad.
1t appeared in evidence that Miller,
who was employed as brakeman, was
riding ON the locomotive with the engi-
neer when the accident occurred. The
side rod of the engine broke. This
threw the engine off the track. and Mil
Ter, who did not have time to jump off,
was hurled to the ground.
He claimed that the company was to
blame, inasmuch as it had allowed the
machinery to get out of repair. The de-
Tense set up general denial.
Miller's presence in the locomotive
was bone of contention in the case, it
being argued by the lawyers for the
brakeman, and that if he had been else
where he would not have been hurt.
This argument was met by the state
ment that one of the rules of the New
York & New England railroad per-
mitted brakemen to ride on the locomo-
tive, if they felt so disposed.
The fact was brought out in evidence
that this was not the first time that Mil
Ter was the victim of railroad accident.
He was injured on two previous occa-
sions, but not seriously.

West Seventy-frst street, few minutes be

west SeVenty-nrSt street, lew minutes be-
fore 2 o'clock this afternoon.
Within few seconds the news had been
flashed over the wires to every part of the
country. The old hero's stubborn fight
with death was at an end and he had been
conquered at last.
Death came slowly, but easily and with
out pain, to the veteran of so many bitter
struggles. He passed away exactly at 1:5O
o'clock.
All the members of his immediate family
were gathered at his bedside at the time
except his eldest son, Rev. Thomas E. Sher-
man, the Jesuit priest. who is now on his
way to this country from abroad on the
steamer Majestic.
Grouped about him in his last moments
were Senator John Sherman the generals
brother; his younger son, P. T. Sherman,
his daughters, Mrs. Fitch, and Mrs
Thackara, and the two unmarried ones,
Miss Rcchael and Miss Lizzie Sherman,
who live with him. There were also pres
ent his niece, Mrs. Colgate Hoyt and her
son; Lieutenants Fitch and Thackara. the
generals sons-in-law; J. M. Barrel, his
private secretary; Gen. Thomas Ewing, his
brother-in-law, and Doctors Alexander and
Green, who have attended him constantly
DURING HIS LAST ILLNESS.
They all had been Watching by his diving
bedside since the early hours Of the morn
ing, for when they were first summoned
from their beds at $50 this morning it was
believed that he might die at any moment.
The dying general had been unconcious
for several hours, and his fiuttering pulse
was so feeble that on several occasions it
was almost impossible to tell whether he
was living or not. His long struggle had
completely exhausted him, and it was only
his remarkable vitality and will power that
enabled him to cling to life so long after
all hope had been given up. From time to
time during the morning some of the
family would leave the room. but only to
be summoned back hastily when it was
thought that the end was approaching.
At the final moment there was no appre-
cable change in the appearance of the
sufferer. He had been lying as one dead
for several hours. DR.. Alexander, who had
his hand on the generals breast, for he
could not detect the heart beats in his
pulse, was watching his face intently. He
looked up quickly just ten minutes to
and told the gri ef-strcken family that
THE GENERAL HAD PASSED AWAY.
Gen. Ewing Immediately left the room
and went down to the door to announce the
fact to the representatives of the newspa-
pers, who had been watching the house
anxiously Tor four days. He was visibIv
affected by his grief at the death of his old
friend, and could say no more than to make
the announcement that the general had
passed away.

HIS LAST ILLNESS.
A History of the Case Given by One of
....-. the Physicians,

...-. the Physicians.
New YORK, Feb. 14-Dr. c. T. Alexander
gave the history of Gen. Sherman's illness
this evening. The doctor had been almost
necessarily at the generals bedside from
the time his illness began, and he had not
had more than two hours sleep any day
since Sunday. He said:
The general, as is known, caught cold Wednes-
day a week ago. The next day he attended
wedding against the urgent advice of the mem
bers OF his family. On Friday I was called in
ard found the general suffering from q cold and
a sore throat. On Saturday he felt so much
better that be wanted to keep an appointment
he had made for that day. On my advice, how
ever, he desisted and spent the day playing
cards, I believe. with his family.
Erysipelas set in on Sunday. He was Tightly
on that day, and on Monday became delirious.
The erysipelas spread over his face, and the
sympathetic glands in his neck became swollen.
Tuesday he grew worse, and applied treatment
Tor the eryslpelas. Wednesday came and there
was no change for the better, but Gen. Sherman
slightly rallied on Thursday morning His rally
was not such to insure even faint hope of the
generals recovery, and SO informed Surgeon
General Moore at Washington
Friday was the turning point for the patient
The erysipelas had almost completely disap-
peared, but the attack had left the general very
much weaker. His old complaint, brochial
trouble and asthma, think, killed Gen. Sher-
man. In his weakened condition he was unable
to throw off the mucus which gathered. The
mucus accumulated. and the general was slowly
strangled to death. think he suffered greatly.
There was always the quick respiration, the
gasp for breath, but he bore everything without
q murmur and no one could have been more
heroic. Since Tuesday we had practically
abandoned all hope Of Gen. Shermans recovery.

The women have invaded the great
iron foundries at Pittsburg, Pa, and
it is said that five hundred of them
are to-day Tapping nails and bolts
that is, putting heads on them.
This is severe physical labor, and it
takes a strong man to do the work.
But the iron works find no difficulty
in getting plenty OF girls. Already the
supply almost doubles the demand.
The result is that this work has been
reduced from $14 to SIG week to 81
and SIS, and men are now practically
shut utfrom it.
