Cleveland Leader Special,
WASHINGTON, August 4.-Congress.
man John G. Warwick, of Masslllon, o.,
died at the Riggs House this evening. He
would have been sixty-two years old next
December. During most OF the session he
has not been in good health, though most
of the time able to attend to his duties.
He was in his seat in the House on Thurs.
day of last week, the day before adjourn
ment, but on the last day he was too i'll to
leave his room. He had acute attack of
bowel complaint, coupled with a stomach
difficulty that has troubled him for some
years. His condition was not thought to
be dangerous until two or three days ago.
His wife was at his bedside and two physi'
clans we're in almost constant attendance.
His son, W. X. L. Warwick, was tele-
graphed for and arrived yesterday.
During the last forty-eight hours he has
been gradually sinking and since noon
hopeless. DR.. Baker, of this city, was
with him every moment OF the last
twenty-four hours, as was also ex-
Congressman Yoder, from Ohio, now
sergeantat-arms of the House. To-
day DIR. Lincoln, a celebrated Washington
physician. was called in consultation, but
the highest medical skill was of no avail
Mr.. Warwick was conscious until almost
the last moment of his life. He recognized
those around him and his last word was
whispered to his devoted wife. Those
present at the bedside were his wife and
son, the physicians named and Miss Hut
ton, a friend of Mrs. Warwick. The
friends will leave for Massillon with the
remains tomorrow evening. Mr.. War
wick has been one OF the quiet members
of the House, taking no part in debate on
any question. Pleasant, courteous and
dignified in his bearing, he made many
friends during his brief stay in Washing
ton. He had very strong friendship for
Senator Hill, of New York, growing out oi
the fact that Mr.. Hill made several
speeches in his district in 1890. Mr.. War
wick often said that had IL not been fol-
Mr.. Hill he would have been defeated by
Major Mckinley, Notwithstanding the
large odds in his favor. Mr.. Warwick'i
successor for the second session of Con
gress will have to be elected from the
FORMER Sixteenth district, consisting oi
