A WARRIOR GONE.
Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, the Great
Confederate General. Dies at
Washington.
His Death the Result of a Cold Caught
Soon After Attending Gen.
Sherman's Funeral. g. ~ s

WASHINGTON, March 2l.-Gen. Joseph
Z. Johnston died tonight at his residence
on Connecticut avenue.
The general had been suffering for the
past three weeks with an affection Of the
heart, aggravated by cold he caught soon
alter attending Gen. Sherman's funeral in
New York. His physician has been try
ing to keep his strength up for some days,
but his advanced age has given little hope
tor his recovery from the beginning of his
illness.
At times for about two years Gen. Johns
ton has shown unmistakable signs of a
general breaking down. His mind often
became bewi}dered so that he could not tell
where he was or how he came there.
About o'clock this evening DR.. Lincoln
found him perfectly mortable, and ap-
parently a little better While his friends
and attendants knew that he might pass
away at any time. yet they had no warning
that
THE END WAS so NEAR.
Gov. McLane entered the room at little
after / o'clock. and as he approached the
generals bedside he head an almost in
audible sigh, and the general was dead.
Gen. Johnston's nearest living relative is
sister, Mrs. Mitchell, who lives in this
city. The tnneral services will be held in
this city, although the day has not yet been
tixed upon. The interment will be made
in Greenmount cemetery in Baltimore.
Gen. Johnston was the last save Gen.
Beauregard, Of the six full generals Of the
Confederacy. Alter the war he became sue
cessvely president OF a railroad company
in Arkansas, of an express company in
Virginia and an insurance agent in
Georgia. He was elected to congress
from the Richmond district in 1877
and next saw public life as commissioner
OF railroads, which office he held under
President Cleveand's administration. He
had lived i'll this city since he lost his office
under the present administration.
Gen. Johnston was man Of slender
build, or not more than medium height,
and with a kindly. pleasant face. He was
unobtruslve in manner and invariably
courteous to all persons with whom he was
brought in contact.
