 Ex President Hayes was brought here last Saturday suffering from an attack of rheumatism of the heart, with which he had been stricken at Cleveland. It was the second attack of the kind he had re- ceived within two weeks, and although his condition was regarded as serious and ex- cited the alarm of his family, the encour- sgement given them by Dr. Hilbest, the family hysician, led them to believe the patient would soon recover. For this reason all knowledge of the ex- ex-preeident'e illness was kept from the public, and the fact that he was suffering from heart trouble did not become known until yes- terday. While Dr. Hilbest remained almost constantly at the patients bedside, no alarming symptoms appeared until this evening. The announcement of the ex- presidents death proved shock to all. From Webb Hayes it is learned that the condition of his father took sudden change early in the evening and rapid dis solution followed.

His last words were to his family physician, Dr. Hilbest, to whom he said "I know that am going where Lucy is."
 The words were spoken distinctly and his face bore happy smile. Early in the evening there was every reason to suppose he would pass comfortable night, and the members of the family retired to rest, but were summoned when the physician feared the dread summons was near.
