and death of eX-President Il. b. Hayes:
On Monday, January 0, Gen. Hayes
went 70 Columbus on State university
business connected with manual train
ing as president of the board of trustees
stopping with his niece, Mrs Gen.
Mitchell. Thursday morning he left
Columbus for Cleveland, where he
visited tie university school with
refi,Acs 10 securing an instructor to
taka chrQe of the manual training de-
parJmcAL N the State university. He
remained in Cleveland with his son
Webb Friday, and LETT there Saturday
afternoon for Fremont. He was driven
in close carriage to the Union depot,
where his son joined him, and immedi-
ately after entering the car complained
of cold and asked for stimulants He
finally consented to leave the car and
went into the waiting-room, where
stimulants were given him.
These SO revived him that he insisted
on returning to the train, saying that
he must go home. Il would rather die
in Spiegel Grove" he said, than live
anywhere else'
After his return TO the car he was
seized with violent pains in the chest
which lasted until after his return
home. He was treated for angina pec-
toris, but while relieved of distress his
heart never recovered It's vigor and life
was suddenly terminated by paralysis of
the heart, while lying in his own ROOM
He frequently referred to a visit made
to his wife's grave on the preceding
Sunday and spoke of the quiet beauty
of the snow-covered scene. He said
that he almost wished he was lying
there by the side OF his wife, it was all
so peaceful, and yet he said: 81 am not
unhappy; my life is an exceptionally
happy one"
His last words were: 81 know that
am going where Lucy is" spoken to his
family physician with the utmost earn
estness
Early in the evening there was every
reason to suppose that the patient
would pass comfortable night. and
the family retired to rest.
