the servants Of Mr.. Pullman's indis.
position, the Rev. Charles II. Eaton of
New York, an intimate friend Of the

before he reached it., required the as.
~sistance of his friend to get there. He
then became unconscious.

arrived at the house and applied re-
storativcs but without avail and Mr..
Pullman quietly passed away without
regaining consciousness.
