The old Roman was 81 years Old the
18th of last November, and had it not
been for the accident a month ago, might
have lived for a number of years, for
the fcebleness of age had by no means
overcome him. He has not been able to
leave his home for more than a year.
it is true. but he could walk about the
house without assistance, could read and
retained much of the power of his once
vigorous mind. The shock of the acct
dent more than the actual physical ln AZ!
ries seemed to impair his hold upon life
and while he grew temporarily better
he has at no time been recovering his
accustomed health.
Thurman's Home Life.
Mr.. Thurman always avoided Ostenta-
ton in his mode Of living and thought
more of quiet comfort than of show:
He had long enjoyed the reputation OF
being one of the most thorough scholars
in public life Always a student, he
became early in life a great lawyer, and
later on devoted much time to lighter
study. He became a fine French schol-
ar, his favorite books being the works
of the earlier French dramatists, which
he read in the original. He had an I'M
usually large and well-selected library,
and there are few books in the range
of polite literature that he was not fanlil-
lar with. He had a literal genius for
mathematics, and frequently occupied
himself in working out the most alb
strlse and intricate problems. He was
prouder of his knowledge of mathematics
than of anything else.
In November. 1874, he married Mary.
daughter of Walter Dun of Fayette
county, Ky. She was reared in Chilli
cothe and she and her husband were
scboolmates from childhood. Mrs. Thur
nlirable woman. devoted to her home,
her husband and her children. One of
her nephews, Edwin Dun, is now min
lister to Japan. Another nephew is r. e..
Dun of the mercantile agency, !
Throughout her life Mrs. Thurman
more so than he was himself, for he had
the old-fashioned belief that Office and
honor should seek the man. Judge Thur
mans household consists of his son. AL
len w. Thurman, and family: Thur
man, the younger, married a beautiful
Baltimore belle. The grandchildren of
the Old Roman are devoted to him, ey-
cry one. They have grown into maturity
before his kindly glance, and he was
proud of their beauty and strength
Allen w. Thurman is of middle age,
a lawyer and business man whose voice
is often heard in political conventions.
He has political convictions of his own
and does not depend upon the fathers
name for a standing among men.
Judge Thurman is rich man. The
estate of his wife has been we'll managed
and greatly increased. The Thurman
family has always been among the most
arstocratic in the state, and the younger
generation is prominent in the social
circles of Columbus.

HAYW ARD HANGED.
Catharine Ging's Murderer Pays
the Death Penalty.
Retained His Bravado to the End-No
Confession.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Dec. 11.-Harry
Hayward, the murderer of Catharine
Cling. was hanged at 2:O5 o'clock this
morning. He made statement of five
minutes duration, and while not making
a confession, said he hoped God would
forgive him for all the harm he had ever
done.
The murderer went to the gallows with
laugh on his lips, and went down with
the trap, just as he uttered the words,
lightly, Let her go, Megaarden." The
command was directed to the chief dep
uty. Prior to the execution, he MAIN
tanned the nerve which he has always
shown. He took his last supper shortly

Capt. Bassett enjoys the distinction of
being one of the most noted figures at
the national capital. He has served
continuously i'll one position or another
i'll the United States Senate for sixty five
years, and from a delicate boy of IL
of his country. He was the second page
appointed in the Senate, his sponsor be-
ing Daniel Webster and the date of his
appointment 1880. After he had out
grown the office of page he was pro-
NOTED to that of messenger and from
doorkeeper, which position he has filled
until he has come to be as much fixture
in the chamber as the marble clock
which, according to capitol gossip,
he was wont to turn back at
end of each March session, when SO
special legislation was desired to be O.
pleted. His duties embraced the gene.
housekeeping of the Senate. the seatil
of the members and the actual police
work of the sergeant-at-armS, when that
official is called upon to act in that ca
pacity. 1t was in that capacity that i'll
his younger days he had to face the only
revolver, save one. that has ever been
drawn in the Senate. 1t was in the
hands of senator from one of the small
states, who, being very much lntOXi-
Gated, was raising a row, and the ser
geant-at-arms was finally ordered to
take I'LL lu.O CUSTODY. w ueH Dully
Brooks made his memorable assault on
Charles Sumner it was Mr.. Bassett who
assisted the Massachusetts statesman to
the cloakroom, assisted to battle his
wounds and prepare him for removal to
his home.
Persons who have visited the Senate
chamber any time within the last quar-
ter of century have noticed pleasant
faced old gentleman with white hair
and beard, the former curled carefully
liz Il roll, who sat at the left of the pre-
siding officer. When a message is re-
ceived from the President of the United
States or from the House of Representa-
tiveS it was he who announced the fact
to the Senate. Although he performed
this duty for years, he invariably made
as much fuss over it as though it was
his first attempt. His face would turn
scarlet, and, as he bowed his head to
the presiding officer, there was q culver
iii his voice as he uttered the Stereo-
typed formula. This was accompanied
by IL hesitancy of speech as if uEcer-
tain whether or not his remarks would
fall on appreciative ears. Capt. Bassett
has been the recipient of numerous
marks of esteem from the senator's. On
the anniversary of his tiftieth year Of
service he was presented with a beauti-
full silver snuff-boX, the presentation be-
ing made by the presiding officer. In
1876, on his birthday, an oil painting OF
MED by letter signed by Senator An
thony, ION behalf of the members OF the
Senate, irrespective of party" and on
the occasion of his golden wedding he,
was presented with handsome silver
Salyer.

DRYAD WAS IN DANGER.
The Sultan Neglected to Clear the
Way for the British War
Ships.

Constantinople, Dec. IL, via Sofia,
Bulgaria, Dec. Alt became known
today that the British gunboat Dryad,
which is to act as the second guardship
for the British embassy here, had quite
an exciting time. while passing through
tho Straits of the Dardanelles. When
she approached the forts of Kun Kalo
and Sedil Bahray-the entrance of the
Darda nelles-their garrisons, not having
been notified that the Sultan had granted
permission for the passage of the boat,
quickly manned the guns, which were
loaded and trained on the incoming YES
sci. The commander sent boat out to
meet the Dryad and quite time elapsed
before he was satisfied that she had the
right to enter. Then the Dryad was
allowed to proceed through the straits
and into the Sea of Marmora on her way
to the Bosphorus.
The absence of news from the interior
of Asiatic Turkey and particularly from
Zeitoun is causing much uneasiness
among the Armenians and others here.
