Senator Joseph Il. Earle died at his
residence II Greenville, S. c., on last
Thursday afternoon at twenty minutes
after Ave o'clock. The immediate
cause Of Gaath was Brght'S disease,
which rapidly developed in the past
few days. Yesterday morning symp-
TOMS were noG more serious than Tor
the past week, ard there was no fear
of immediate death. At 4o,clock tbs
mcsaine there was a marked change
for the worse and he was supposed to
he dying. He rallied later, and al
though no hope of recovery was en-
tsr;aired, yet there was hope taat be
would mold out for 8 day OF two. AL
through the day he had gradually
been sinking, aud 1t was only QueS
ton of few hours when the end
would come. His strong will power
asserted ITSELF and he rallied this NOR
ning. During the day there was a
hush over the city, as 1t was known
that the favorite son OF this county
was in the shadow of death. All
through tbs day there was giving
away and rally following, but esch
hour the Senator was weaker. Never
for 4 moment did he loose conscious
ness, but retained his clearDess OF
mind and accepted the condition that
he would live only few hours. Ali
the members of his family were with
him this afternoon. Gradually he
grew weaker, bat he calmly aEaltec
the eGd, never evincing any nervous.
ness, or fea- OF his impending fate.
The low Sobs OF wife and children who
stood around his bedside echoed the
short heavy breathing CT the sufferer.
HIS breathing grew slower, and With
his sSze resting on his loved wife, at
20 mirU Utes after o'clock, the weary,
patient suffer was st rest. The solemn
tolliug Of the city alarm bell au-
nounced the death Of Senator Earle.
In short time all the stores OF toe
city were clossd ana citiz9as were
mourning the death OF the most dis.
ripguished citizen Of Greenville. No
arrangements have ye. been noade for
tee funeral. The time will probably
b, rl&6e to meet the convenience Of
Il usual Congressional committee.

Men Worked All Night Remov-
ing the Burning Coal
From the Hold.
PROMPT ACTION SAVED THE SHIP.
She Will Shortly Leave for Port
Orchard to Be Cleaned and
0verhauled.

The coal bunkers in the United States
battle-ship Oregon caught fire Sunday
evening from spontaneous combustion
and for over eight hours the crew worked
with vengeance to smother what looked
like costly blaze. There were over $50
tons of coal in the vessel and prompt
action alone saved the ship and fuel.
The fire is supposed to have started
from water leaking into the coal bunkers.
This would eventually cause a terrific heat
from accumulating gases. Luckily the
fire started in but one of the bunkers and
this was discovered before it had gained
much headway. 1t was first discov sred
by one of the men who saw smoke pour
ing out of the hold.
An alarm was Immediately given and
orders were issued TO remove the coal
from the vessel to the wharf. Steam
pipes were attached and connected with
the lower part of the vessel in an attem pit
to smother what fire might have been in
other parts of the ship, as it was at first
thought the fire had been the act of an
incendiary. This proved to be without
| foundation, however, as the real cause
| was discovered as soon as the smoke
| cleared away sufficiently to allow the men
| to enter the nolo with safety.
When the orders were given to remove
| the coal the men went to work with 8
will, bat the task was larger than had al
| first been supposed The work was done
with difficulty as the smoke hindered the
| men in their attempts TO quickly put out
the blaze. During the whole night, after
the fire had been discovered, the entire
crew labored in removing the smoking
| and blazing coal, and it was not until day
| break that the men were allowed to leave
their work.
As soon as the bunker could be entered
the leakage of water was stopped, and the
coal which had been removed was re.
turned TO the hold when all danger had
passed. 1t was close cali for the Oregon.
Within a few days the battle-s ship will
steam to Red Rock. where her $50 tons oi
am M unition will be removed to the
Government magazine. From there the
ship will proceed TO Port Orchard to be
cleaned and generally overhauled. The
coal on board will first be removed to
tighten the ship so as 10 make it possible
to have her drydocked. As soon as the
ship is properly righted the coal and am
m unition will be returned to her decks
and she will be once more ready for
