WASHINGTON, Oct. S.
General Malone died at his rooms at
Chamberlin's here to-day shortly after
one o'clock surrounded by all the mem
beers of his family and some of his closest
Virginia friends. He had been unoon-
cious for many hours, and died without
struggle. One of his friends in talk
ing about him mentioned the following
incident which toak place between
President Harrison and the General
over the important judgeship now held
by Judge Goof, of West Virginia.
Judge Paul wss urged for that position.
and the last appearance OF Mahone
at the White House was when he hur-
RED into the presence of Harrison, on
hearing the appointment was about to
be made, to make personal final ap.
peal for Judge Paul. He himself had
been denied Cabinet portfolio, ne had
seen the federal patronage divided with
his enemies and the rich office OF
Revenue Collector fall into the hands
Of his hated opponent Col. Brady, but
he stilled his resentment for the mo.
nent to make last effort for the most
loyal and probably the ablest OF his
readjuster aids. Il was eleven O'Clock
forenoon when ne arrived, and it Is q
TACT susceptible Of proof today that at
that very hour the appointment OF Gen.
Golf had been made and plsced in the
hands Of the private secretary for de
livery by him to the Senate. The
President, however, seeiog the intensity
Of the Generals interest, did not tell
him, As frankness would seem to have
REQUIRED, and Malone with high hopes
OF success drove TO the National Hotel
to give the assurance to Judge Paul OF
al almost certain victory. An hour
AFTER and it Was made known 10 him
that Golf had won the prize. Malone
was daz4d, he was keenly angered, and
felt outraged at what he charged was
the deception practised on him by
the President. This ended their in
tercourse. Unlike Gen. Malone Judge
Paul took the result with entire cool
ness, declaring ne had always known
that Gof would be the appointee if he
SO desired. Elkins was in the Cabinet
and Was urging the appointment OF
GoT to make way for the United
States Sena;orship he low holds.
General Malone was born in South
ampton county, Virginia, December l,
1925. He graduated az the Virginia
Military Institute in 1877, and until the
beginning OF the civil war vas engaged
in engineering, having been engaged
in the construction OF the old
Orange and Ale1andris railroad
The remains will be taken TO
Petersburg, Va, By the train leaving
Washington at $50 O'Clock tomorrow
morning. Services will be held at five
| O'Clock tomorrow evening ct s.. Paul's

body will then De taken to the place
of intefmsnt. The honorary pallbsa--
ers will be officers OF ''Mahone's BIZ
ssde," aad the body bearers viii be
