of the Pullman family, who was visit

CAUSE OF DEATH.
The following statement of the
circumstances surrounding Mr.. Pull
mans death was prepared by John S.
Runnells, chief counsel of the Pullman
company:
Mr. 1p1on Tod Of ~
ing of angina pectoris. The extreme heat of
last week, together with perhaps more than
his usual exert:on in showing some friends
about Pullman, had caused him feeling of
debility, about which he spoke to one or two
friends, but which he did not regard as seri-
ous He told one of them yesterday, who
suggested that he was not looking well
usual, that he had been unable to sleep
satisfactorily the last two nights, and par
ticularly on Sunday night; that he had some
little difficulty in breathing, but that he
felt much better then and he felt a day
two would put him an right He was SO
well that he intended to leave for New York
Thursday. Death came to him very quick
ly. At about o'clock in the morning some
friends who were staying at the house heard
noise in his room as If he wished to call
some one. They went to him Immediately
and found him standing up, and evidently in
great pain. One of them went to the ele-
phone to call his physician, DR.. Billings. At
the same time he himself attempted to walk
to the lounge, but before he reached it re-
quired the assistance of his friends to get
there. He then became unconscious. In the
meantime DR.. Billings had arrived at the
avail, and Mr.. Pullman quietly passed away
without regaining consciousness.
Mrs. Pullman, who is on her way
from New York, is being accompanied
on her sad homecoming by Sanger w.
Pullman, the younger son. George M.
Pullman Jr. is in the city, together
with a daughter, Mrs. Frank o. Low
NT1c
Ian, is in San Francisco, and was at
once summoned to return TO Chicago.
The death of Mr.. Pullman attracted
wide attention in business circles. Mr..
P. d. Armour said: THE news OF the
death of Mr.. Pullman shocked me
greatly, though his physicians knew he
was troubled with heart disease The
city will feel the loss of Mr.. Pullman.
He was pubhc-spirited man and
fine business man do not think the
company of which he was the head will
suffer on account of his death. 1t is
true he took a deep interest III the
management of what might be called
the smaller affairs of the corporation,
but he told me not long ago that he
was we'll supplied with good heuten-
ants, and that in the event Of his death
the business would be-carried on With
out difficulty. 1, think he was aware
IlldC nc ildu d y
suit seriously.
FELT IN BUSINESS CIRCLES.
Mr.. Pullnans death affected the Chi
cago stock market quite appreciably.
He was said to havec been heavy
holder of both Diamond Match and
New York Biscuit securities, two of the
most active stocks listed on the local
exchange. When the. announcement
of Mr.. Pu1lman's death was posted on
the bulletin board. it caused a break in
the latter stock OF 81 points. A break
OF points in Pullman Palace Car
stock was chronicled Jon Wall street,
but a rally followed. :,
The death of Mr. Pullman, besides
leaving a vacancy in the Pullman car
directorate, also causes similar con-
dition of affairs in the board of di
rectors of the Chicago Telephone COM
pany. He was represented on the New
York Biscuit and Diamond Match
boards by his son-in-law. Frank Low
den.
1t is believed in local stock exchange
circles that Horace Porter will succeed
Mr.. Pullman, as president of the Pull
man Palace Car company.
