it was necessary to make use of powerful
stiplulantS in order to keep the patient
alive. His breathing was laborcd. For
the past three days lie had violent hic
coughs, which were qucllcd by the use Of
pure musk.
During the periods when Mr.. Phelps
was conscious he muttcred continually
about his lAnd,S and vast property, which
had always afforded him diversion while
at homo.
DR.. w T. l.usk, a lifelong companion
ana SCnoOliilat' Oh MI IHcll)S, wis one OF
the watchers ut his bedside in the absence
of DR.. Currie. Sheffield Phelps is on rev
cnue cutter in the harhur awaiting the

which is due today. The baroness will be
taken off and carried directly to Jersey
