DEATH oFPRoFEssoH ENSIGN.
For Many Years a Prominent and Hon0red
 Instructor in Music.

Professor J. l.. Ensign of 31 Eld street died at 11;45 o'clock yesterday morning from an attack of pleurlsy. He had only been Ill during the past week. One week ago he took cold, which developed into pleurisy. He had been in Ill health for over year. but had recovered suf- ficiently to take up his work again. He expected to return to Massachusetts within short time. He was a gentle man of high character, a cultured man, and of artistic tastes, and had long held a high and honored place in his profess sion. Not long ago his wife died, a lady of lovely character, and MT. Ensign never recovered from the shock of the separation.
 Professor Ensign was a staunch re- publican. Though never seeking offi- cial position, he was thoroughly alive to the issues of the day and the inter- ests of the country. He was most agreeable friend and genial true-heart- ed man. He will be greatly missed in the circles in which he moved. Profess sor Ensign was formerly in charge of the department of music at the Maple Grove seminary at Pittsfield, Mass, and he was in great demand as an in- structor upon the piano in society cir cles in this city. He was half brother of Mrs. Cady, principal of the Cady school for young ladies on Hillhouse avenue q

 Sentiments.

Another Evidence of the Workingmen's Sentiments.
 New York, Oct. 26-F. P. Sargent, ] grand master of sthe Brotherhood of
 Locomotive Bremen, who with MT.
 Arthur, the head of the Brotherhood of
 Locomotive Engineers, and other labor
 organization leaders, has been repre- scented as favoring Bryan and free coin- age, writes an emphatic denial of the charge His letter Is in reply to one addressed to him by Executive Com
 mitteeman N. B. Scott, at national
 headquarters in this city, and is as | follows:
 Dear Sir: Your esteemed favor of the 18th inst. enclosing circular, cap tioned Demands of Organized Labor for Free Coinage of Silver, etc. and which is being so freely circulated and
 used as a campaign document, has been received and read with care. In order that there may be no misunderstanding
 as to my position, wish 1t to be un- derstood that whatever I say is to be accepted as coming from the individual, and not as the grand master of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen. About three years ago, or less, I re- ceived call from a gentleman who was circulating document purport- | ing to be a memorial, which was to be presented to congress, then in ses- sion, asking for legislation in favor of silver and the restoration of the coinage of both gold and silver. The coins of both metals to be full legal tender and to have equal purchasing power. Be- l lieving at that time silver legislation was necessity, and if enacted would benefit both employer and employe, and especially those engaged in the railway business, and with that end in view, had no hesitancy in affixing my sigma ture to what I supposed to be a me morial to congress. I have no desire
 to see this country adopt policy which will result in a depreciated currency
 and the repudiation of honest debts. I
 am for silver so long as a silver dol
 lar is worth just what it states on its face, that will circulate equally with gold in the payment of all debts and also when that dollar Is backed by the credit of the government. If 1t will be of any satisfaction to you to knos where I stand at the present time I
 want to say to you very emphatically that I shall vote for William Mckinley, that I believe he represents the best
 interests of the American people, and especially of the wage-earners.
 Very truly yours, "F. P. SARGENT. cular and clipping.

WORKINGMEN ADDRESSED

At Winchester Shop Yesterday by Captain
 O'Farrell of washing gton-A Funny Inci-
 dent.
 Captain Patrick O'Farrell of Wash ington, D. C., addressed an open air meeting in the interests of sound mon ey held for the benefit of the employees of the Winchester Repeating Arms Co.,, on the lot opposite the company's ar- mory office. Captain Farrell gave a clear exposition of the money question He spoke of the fallacy of fiat money. He said in this connection: "A farmer might take a dozen of eggs to the gov ernment and have them labelled worth fifty cents, but do you suppose that if such were done eggs all over the coun- try would raise in price to fifty cents a dozen?" and then asked for questions which he would answer
 Mrs. Tillinghast, the well known speaker for free silver, asked him if those eggs would not be worth fifty cents if stamped by the government, as being good for the payment of public and private debts. Captain Farrell re- pied that they would not, as they would be stale before the farmer got them back home with the stamp on.
 The answer elicited laugh from the workingmen, both on account of its humor and the fact that 1t was an .evasive answer.
 Further discussion of the matter was cut short by the blowing of the shop whistle.
