LELAND STAMFORD DEAD
The End Came Suddenly to
the California Senator
and Philanthropist.

MEMO PARK. June 81. 1898. United
States Senator Leland Stanford died at
twelve O'Clock last night. He passed
away peacefully at his residence in Palo
Alto.
Governor Stanford was in the best OF
spirits yesterday. He took drive onl
around his stock farm and seemed as
well as ever. He retired shortly after ten
o'clock. and about midnight his valet go
ing into the Governors bed room. dis
covered that he was dead.
1t has been evident for some time that
Senator Stamford demise was question
of but short time His symptoms were
apoplectic and his weight WAS increasing
alarmingly. There was a stlffuess about
his limbs that made locomoJion an ex-
ceedingly difficult task. His body was
fast becoming too heavy for his limbs to
support. He could take only the slightest
exercise. Six months ago the Senator
sent for DR.. Curtis of San Francisco. The
doctor prescribed heroic treatment, but
the Senator was ready to undergo drastic
methods for the reduction OF flesh aud
the restoration of his waning strength
His apoplectic symptoms increased and
his situation became such as to create
serious alarm.
About six weeks ago it was found
necessary to impose a severely plain diet
upon the Senator. and since that time his
sole food has consisted OF fried hashed
meat with hot water as the only liquid
accompaniment. The Senator rigidly
adhered to the severe requirements OF
the physicians, and it seemed for
time that it's results were most
beneficial aud might possibly effect .
permanent cure. The Senator expressed
himself as much encouraged, and looked
forward hopefully to the time when he
could devote himself with renewed energy
to public affairs and to the completion or
certain educational and other benevolen5
enterprises that were very near to his
heart But his strength was not sud-
GENTLY great to respond to the demands
upon it, Its fundamental weakness sud
denly manifested itself and he passed
quietly away.

BARGE BURNED IN THE BAY.
Naphtha Stored Aboard Ignited ane
Caused u Big BlaZe.


Shortly after three o'clock yesterday
afternoon fire WAS discovered In an oil
barge moored to the Stand ard Oil Com
pany's dock at Cav en- Point. and until
four o'clock this NOR ming the employees
at the oil works had the livli est kind OF
time endeavoring to eXtin guiSh the
blaze. The barge was towed to the dock
at two o'clock, and the men on board
fastened it to the dock. As it was to be
filled with naphtha, the matches. which
had been closed for several days were
opened. There were a few gallons of
naptha in the bottom of the hull at the
time. and 1t is supposed that this was
iqnited in some u'naccoun table way,
probably through combustion OF gases.
AS soon as the blaze was discovered
the men secured tug and
towed the barge out into the
bay. The tug which was provided with
fire apparatus threw several streams OF
water upon the burning barge, but the
fire could not be got under co ntrol. The
tug then toweu the barge to Black Tom
where it was anchored. All the
fire apparatus on Black Tom was
put into service. but the fire had
gained SO much headway that it became
impossible to extinguish 1t. he flames
lit up the SKY aud the blaze could be
plainly seen from the hill aud Greenville.
Large crowds flocked Co the shore trout
aud watched the blaze. The barge was
burned to the water line. but was not en-
tirely destroyed. Tie damage Is placed

DUCHESS OF SUTHERLAND BEATEN.
By Gable to the United Press.

LONDON, June 81, 1s93.-The Hon. Sir
Robert Romer, one OF the justices of the
Chancery Division of Her Majesty's High
Court of Justice, before whom was heard
the claim of the Dowager Duchess of
Sutherland to the possession of Tittensor
Chase, and piece of land adjacent.
granted to her by the Duke of Suther-
land, today gave Judgment in the case.
He held that the leases forming the basis
of the action could not stand. The late
Duke of Sutherland in granting these
leases had not regarded the interests of
all the parties entitled to consideration
under the settlement made in 1884,
which was set out in the statement of
claim. Justice Romer. moreover, held
that The Duke had, in granting the leases,
to the, claimant, acted contrary TO the
obligations cast upon him by the SeGtled
Lands Act of 1882. He therefore dis
missed the claim aud ordered that the
Dowager Duchess pay the costs of the
action.
This is another uictory for the young
Duke of Sutherland, who. since his
fathers sdeath and his succession to
the title has fought In every way possible
his stepmother's claims to benefit under
the will of the late Duke.

Woman Found In the Passaic.

The body of the young woman found in
the Passaic River near Arlington, on Sat
urday. has been identified as Mrs. Minnie
Jones of Newark by Mrs: Susan McPhil-
lips of this city. A strange feature of the
case is that the body has also been identi-
fed by relatives of another missing New
ark woman.
Mrs. Susan McPhillips of this city, who
identified the body, was supposed to live
at No. ,228s Seventh street. No such person
lives there and none of the Jersey City

Board met in the State House yesterday
General Wanser and General Sewell were
the only two members absent. The
others present were the Governor, Major
General Plume, Adjutan5 General Stry-

Owing to the absence OF the other two
mem bers, no definite action was taken III
the matter OF the Jersey City Armory,
and The Board adjourned to meet again
next Tuesday.
AT that time it was probable that the

be awarded to Contractor Cutley and
Carpenter Jewkes. Their bid was orig
inally only S40O below he appropriation,
exclusive of architects commissions, ana
the appropriation recently made by Jer-
ser City, will be sufficient to warrant the

months, washburn had taken more
money and finally IL could be no longer
concealed from tho auditors. Last
Wednesday Washburn left his ofilce but
did not go home and his family Was much
worried. He camo back next morning in
pitiablo condition, saying he had walked
around all night. A doctor was called In
and ordered him TO go to bed. where he
has been confined ever since.
A full confession has been made by
Washburn. Yesterday he resigned his
position as treasurer Of the company aud
made an assignment Of all his personal
property to the railway to make up the
deficiency rs much as possible. The
bondsmen OF the treasurer will also be
called on to assist in making good the de.
ficieucy, and tho Old Colony officials
claim the defalcation will not affect the
dividends.
Washburu Is 75 years old and has been
