CHICAGO, October 19.-George M.
Pullman, the millionaire president OF
the Pullman Palace Car company, was
found dead in bed at 5 O'Clock this
morning at his beautiful south side
residence on Prairie avenue. He had
not complained of being i'll and the
first knowledge of his death was known
when his lifeless body was found lying
in bed and his spirit had passed to
eternity. No one was present when
ing car builder and his demise is sup
posed to be due to appoplexy. His end
seemed to be perfectly easy and peace
full as not a line on his face betrayed
th at death came with any agony.
George Mortimer Pullman was born
in Cautauqua county, New York, in
March, 1881. He clerked in a county
store when a boy, but later learned
the cabinet making business. After
he bad mastered the trade, his ideas
began to formulate into plans for put
ting sleeping berths on railroad pas
senger cars, and for several years he
worked on plans to such an end. In
1859 he. came to Chicago and began to
carry out his ideas by remOdelipg sew
eral passenger coaches into sleeping
cars. The venture was so successful
and took so we'll with the travelling
public that he made money fast aud soon
afterwards organized the Pullman
Palace Car company and established
the town of Pullman and this town is
known the world over as model city.
Up 20 1893 George Nj. Pullman was
looked upon as friend to the work.

Tuthill went into consultation with
States Attorney Deneen and Attorney
Vincent, being still closeted with
them. All preparations are being
made for an early verdict.
Later-COnference between Judge
Tuthill. Deneen and Vincent is just
concluded. Judge Tuthill announces
he will convene court at 3 p. m, at
which time the verdict is expected.
Rumors to the effect that verdict for
acquittal has been reached are flying
thick and fast. Attorneys on both
sides, however, say there is no ground
for such rumOrs.
The prospects for a verdict this after
noon are lessening. The jury has been
deIiberated continuously since l O'Clock
and the door to their room has not been
opened since. The II men are almost
worn out and it is possible they will re-
tire early and return their verdict to-

Ibis means a net increase of 1917 per

in each year, or 125,OOO members each
