Belief That Poet whittier Is Rapidly
Nearing the End.
HAMPTON FALLS, ~ H., Sept 7.-Mr.
Whittier's condition has become decidedly
worse. DIR. Douglass has announced TO
his relatives and watchers that the symp-
toms are such that there remains no hope
OF his recovery. His end may be looked
for at any moment. IL may be postponed
for several days but he is upon his death
bed.
Mr. Whittier spent quiet night, and
the bulletins sent out yesterday morn
ing by DR. Douglass stated his condition
as unchanged. He slept for three hours
yesterday morning quietly and peacefully,
and awoke much refreshed.
He seemed 70 suffer from an inability to
take nourishment, even the lightest por-
ridge being swallowed only with great
difficulty. The action Of the heart was re-
ported to be comparatively strong and
regular, and, on the whole, his friends re-
newed hope.
As for the patient himself, he is fully
aware OF his critical condition and whis-
pers 10 his friends: mo one could do
more than is being done for me, but IL is
OF no use"
Friends stand by and guard him from
all excitement, bathe his head constantly
and otherwise make him as comfortable
as possible. He evinces satisfaction and
gratitude for this, and says the doctors
can do no more The doctors say that
heart failure Is what they fear.

A CURIOUS COMPLICATION
Arising from the Settlement of the
Friendly Aid society's Affairs.

Friendly Aid society's Afsirs.
Boston, Sept. IA curious state of
facts has developed in settling up the af
fairs OF the Friendly Aid society IAN endow-
ment concern which is now in the hands
of a receiver. When business was good
che society had on deposit n considerable
sum In the Boston National bank, and
certificate of deposit for 800 was given
by the bank to the secretary. After the
receiver took hold, call was made by
him for the certificate, as the bank very
properly declined to transfer the money to
the receiver. The latter was informed
that the certificate had been accidentally
destroyed, and then arose question as to
how to get the money.
The bank. declined to pay IL over with
out having bond TO secure IL in case the
certificate should turn up in the hands of
an innocent holder who may have pur-
chased it, I'm case il was not destroyed
The receiver, II he gives a bond, will in
turn desire 20 be secured, and TO that end
will retain the money itself for the pur-
pose, there being no other way for him to
do. Such being the case, the fund would
be practically tied up for all time
The lawyers who are interested for the
certificate holders and others came into
the supreme court yesterday for the pur-
pose of having the court instruct them,
if it could, IA to what can be done, so
that the money may be distributed. The
lawyers themselves confessed that they do
not see any way out of the difficulty and it
able to help them any.

OBITUARY.

Ernst Wagner was born March Stb.
1929, at Hesse-Darmstadt, now part of
Prussia. He fingered between life and
death, ever since a stroke of paralysis on
June 18th. rendered him helpless and un-
conscious. Lucid moments of short dura-
ton required but seldom. He died Satur-
day, August 13, at his home on the South
Side.
In 1919 his parents emigrated TO Amer
lea, leaving their son 10 Germany to re-
| ceiye medical attention as he had acct
dentally lost his right hand. He followed
his parents to Washington Co., Wis,
where be found his family in miserable
condition; his older brother dead, his
father sick most of the time. and two
small sisters. There they were, with no
one to work but himself with one arm.
Under such conditions, be set himself the
herculean task of clearing forty acre
farm of dense forest. 1t was a fearful
task, yet he worked until his health failed
him. In 1854 he came to Manitowoc,
thus being one of the early settlers.
What hardships the poor armed Ger
man was obliged to endure in the early
days of our city, have been repeatedly
stated IN citing the history of this section
and It's settlers. Suffice 1t to say, that
he not only endured the privations to
which he was subjected, but he also lived
to see success crown the efforts of that
indomitable will which knew no such
word as fail. Battling under such adverse
circumstances, the spirit manifested is
worthy of our highest praise His first
place of business was on Washington
street, where at last he went into the
hardware business exclusively. Then he
removed to the Hecker building on Sth.
street; thence, to Woods Block where
now Is located one of the leading hard
ware firms of the state.
