Must Obey
A Long and Honorable Life Lived While
These United States Were Making
History-The Services

WASHINGTON, Jan. Rear Ad-
miral Joseph Skerritt, retired, died here

wholly unexpected, as he had been in
bad health since his retirement from
active service in Jnly, 1894. The ad-
miral was in the Gath year of his age, and
is survived by widow, three daughters
and two sons. The funeral will take
place Sunday afternoon and the inter-
ment will be at Arlington.
Admiral Skerritt had a long and hon.
orable career in the service of his coun-
try A native of Ohio, he entered the
navy as midshipman in 1S4S passed
through the various trades, became a
lieutenant in 1855, lieutenant com
mander in 1862 and was stationed at the
Washington navy yard the following
year, after which he served creditably
during the civil war on the Shenandoah
and the gunboat Katahdin. He COM
manded the gunboat Aroostock from 1864
to 1865 and was actively engaged with the
confederate fortifications at the mouth

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Jan. 1.-The inquest
on the body of j. b. McCullagh. editor
| of the Globe Democrat, whose remains
were found under his bedroom window
yesterday, began today. 1t developed
the startling fact through the testi-
mony of DIR. c. H. Hughes, McCul-
lagh's physician, that the deceased made
what was at the time believed to be an
attempt at suicide orr December 23d last.
On that day Dr. Hughes testified he
called on Mr.. McCullagh and left with
him a four-ounce bottle containing two
ounces of dlgitalis, q powerful heart
tonic, an overdose of which would have
the effect of paralyzing the action of
the heart. The same night Mr.. McCul-
lagh took an ource of the medicine,
sufficient to have caused death, but
which, owing to the weak condition or
his stomach, was Immediately rejected.
When DR.. Hughes called the next morn
ing he was greatly alarmed, and asked
Mr.. McCullagh if he had taken that
amount, an evaSiVe answer belnS
given. DIR. Hughes testified that he was
satisfied Mr.. McCullagh had not taken
the medicine by mistake. The physi-
clan at once connected the startling cir
cumstance with a conversation had with
Mr.. McCullagh shortly before. in which
the latter spoke of the death of Abraham
Lincoln, saying that he died at a good
time, and when any man outlived his
usefulness it was time for him to go.
DR.. Hughes then testified as to Mr.
McCullagh's strange and evasive man
her on the day preceding his death, and
concluded his testimony with the pos
tive statement that his impression was
that the case was one of suicide.
Liveryman Louis c. Bohle, the closest
personal friend of the deceased, was
to have testified, but as he faded to ap-
pear. the examination was continued
until tomorrow morning.
Today Mrs. Mckee, daughter of the
original proprietor of the Globe-Demo-
crat. accompanied by friend. went to
Bellefontaine cemetery and selected a
location for the grave of the deceased,
which will be in the Mckee family lot.
William z. Armstrong. nephew of
the deceased. arrived from Chicago,
and Mrs. Rachel Souter. sister. is eX-
pected to arrive from Brooklyn, N. Y,
on Saturday.
A mass meeting of newspaper men
will be held tomorrow for the purpose
of taking appropriate action ON the
death of Mr.. McCullagh.
The funeral tomorrow afternoon will
be very simple. The eight active pail
bearers have been selected from the
heads of departments of the Globe-Dem-
ocrat.
The list of honorary pail bearers has
not been made out yet. but it will con-
sist of leading citizens of ST. Louis,
principally representing the Republican
party.
