GEN. LAFAYETTE M'LAWS DEAD
DIED SUDDENLY FROM AN ATTACK
OF ACUTE INDIGESTION.

With But a Few Moments Warning
the Old soldier Breathed His Last.
His Funeral VIII Probably Take
Place TO-mOrrOw-He Was one of
the Most Conspicuous Men of the
COnfederacy.
Gen. Lafayette McLaws died suddenly at
1920 O. clock this morning at his residence,
No. 800 Anderson street, east His death
was a great shock to his family, none Of
whom had the slightest idea until a few
minutes before il occurred that his end
was near.
Except for an apparently slight attack
of indigestion from which he had suffered
during the last few days. Gen. McLaws ap-
peared 10 be in his usual health. He was
about during the day and appeared to be
Ia good spirits. AT night he complained
more than usual Of indigestion. The ord
mary remedies were administered and no
one thought there was anything serious in
the attack. About midnight or shortly
after he suddenly grew worse and his son,
Capt. L. II. McLaws who lives near by,
was sent for. He found his father gasp
ing and unable TO speak. DR.. ]. W. Dan
Tel was summoned, but before he arrived
death had interviewed. The end though
sudden was peaceful.
Gen, McLaws had been in feeble health
for a number of years, and his death will
be no surprise TO those who have been
acquainted with his failing condition. At
the same time the suddenness of his end
was shock Owing 10 the lateness of the
hour at which death occurred very few
people became aware of it, and the an
nouncement 10 the Morning News is the
first information of the sad event to the
majority Of the people of Savannah. No
arrangements for the funeral have been
determined upon. In all probability it will
be held tomorrow.
On account of his failing health Gen.
McLaws has been seen but little in public
during recent years. Immediately after
the war he was clerk of the court at Au-
gusta, from which position he was eX-
PEELED by the federas. He was two terms
postmaster at Savannah, to which position
he was appointed by his old friend and

HEARD HER CHILD WAS KILLED
The Shock Proved Fatal to Mrs. j. d.
York.

The Shock Proved Fatal to Mrs. j. ID.
York.
The hand of Providence was laid very
heavily upon Policeman ]. B. York yes
terday. His wife is dead at his home on
Jefferson street. near Oglethorpe avenue,
and his little 4-year-old girl is suffering
from serious injuries as the result of
fail.
The accident to the child accounts in
part for the death of the mother Mrs
York has been an invalid for long time
She was in delicate condi-
ton and early yesterday morning
was seized with a hemorrhage. DIR.
r. G.. Norton was called. and founu
Mrs. York in a very serious condition,
but after considerable effort he succeeded
in checking the hemorrhage.
DR.. Norton was at the York home about
II o'clock, in attendance upon Mrs. York.
The little 4-year-old girl was upon the
veranda of the second story, looking into
the street below. A boy stopped at the
door with some fruit Childike the little
girl leaned over to look at the boy, when
the bannister gave way, and
L,
striking upon her back The fall was
about eighteen feet The little one was
picked up apparently dead and brought
into the house.
Dr. Norton at once set to work to revive
the child which he succeeded in doing.
Revival was followed by commissions,
which lasted for some time. Examination
showed that some of the bones at the
base of the spine were fractured and that
there were injuries to the spinal chord.
While the condition of the child is serious
DR.. Norton said that he thought she
would recover.
The report that the child had been killed
reached the mother. In her weak physical
condition this additional excitement was
more than she could stand.
The shock caused a renewal of thNhem-
orrhage, which it was impossible to check,
and resulted in her death an hour later.
Policeman York has the sympathy of all
acquainted with his bereavement in his Sc
we're aff1iction.

merchants. The premium companies will
doubtless redeem all coupons used up to
Aug. /. The necessity of combining
against the premium system had the very
desirable result of bringing about an as
ISOLATION of the merchants, including
practically all the retail dealers of the
city. Many other things can be accom>
plished by such an association than the
dealing with the abuse of the premium
system. There are other abuses to which
the merchants have Individually called at
tention at various times, but without sue
cess. With an organized body presenting
solid front the association may with
reason expect to accomplish whatever
purpose it undertakes. Its general p7Ir-
pose will be the advancement of the in
terests of the retail merchants and the ex-
tension of the retail trade of the CITY
Various methods may be adopted to ac-
complish this after due discussion and
consideration.

crowd had been taken to the Jail some one
called to pay Thomas fine. The
amount of 81 was paid, and
a prisoner supposed to be
Thomas was released. Later il was
discovered that Thomas was still in the
tail and another dollar was paid to secure
his release. An investigation was made
and 1t was found that Ellerbee had re-

cured his liberty.
The fact of the escape was kept quiet

COMING TOGETHER.
Union Pacific, Great Northern
and Northern Pacific Will
Hereafter Work in Harmony.

New York, FEB. Am important read
justment of the relations of some trans
continental railroads is under way. When
completed it will create harmony of in
terests among the Union Pacific, North
ern Pacific and Great Northern roads.
By the arrangements which are being
perfected. the three roads will work in
accord instead of as in the past, against
each other, with the consequence of a
serious general impairment of revenues
on all lines. There is to be no actual
consolidation of the roads, nor any pool
ing business. Each road will retain its
individuality and independence. The first
mo-e in the general scheme was the ac-
QUESTION by capitalists identified with the
Northern railroad OF the stock of the
Northern Pacific railroad. The syndicate
which underworld, the Northern Pacific
reorganization plan has within the past
few days disposed of the stock in its
hands. comprising $1,000, 600 preferred and
stock was said to have brought some
thing over IS and the common about 10.
Altogether more than s4,500000 was in
volved in the transaction. The Great
Northern capitalists secured part of the
syndicate's stock and the Deutsche bank
OF Berlin secured an extensive block for
some of its customers, who were already
large owners of Northern Pacific Securi
ties. Edward D. Adams, chairman of the
board of directors of the Northern Pacific,
represented the Great Northern capital
lists j. p. Morgan q Co., the managers
of the syndicate. made the sale o. the
stock No bonds We're disposed of with
the stock. The members of the syndicate
have, however, sold at various times and
in various ways most fof the bonds al
loted to them. A cable dispatch says the
committee in Berlin of the bondholders
of the Oregon Railway & Navigation COM
pany have received d joint offer from the
Northern Pacific railroad of 45 for the
preferred stock, which they received when
they exchanged their consolidated per
cent bonds for consolidated 4 per cent
bonds With each 81 600 bond they re-
ceived $3.50 in preferred stock. The offer
of the Great Northern and the Northern
Pacific was conditioned upon its accept
ance by the holders of IS, 100000 of the
stock An offer is supposed to have been
made to others of block of stock, the
as well as the preferred. There
were $1,000. 900 of the preferred and $24,-
Ooe 600 of the common. The preferred is
quoted at So and the common at 16. All
the stock is held in voting trust. 1t is
stated that on its reorganization Union
Pacific will become interested with the
Northern Pacific and the Great North
ern in the ownership of the Oregon Rail-
way & Navigation company. 1t is thought
that in the end the ownership of the
Union Pacific, Northern Pacific and
Great Northern will be largely the same.

HARRISBURG BLAZE.
Ancient Capitol of Pennsylvania
Quilted

Harrisburg, Pa, Feb. "A fire, which
started in the rooms of Lieutenant
Lyon some time this morning. swept
through the ancient capitol of Penn
sylvania and within an hour and half
after the breaking out of the flames
the structure was in ruins. The sem
ate and house were about to convene
for their afternoon session when the
fire broke through the walls, and they
were driven for their lives to the open
air. As far as known no one was
killed, but a number of people were
in the building trying to save furniture
and other effects when the dome fell
in, and it is possible that some one may
be buried under the ruins. Quite a
number of people were cut and bruised
by falling debris or half smothered by
smoke, but no one was seriously hurt.
The most valuable of the state and
legislative records, which were in the
building, were saved, but the records
and statistics of the department of in
struction were DESTROYED.
The total loss is estimated at nearly
81, 900, on which there is an insur-
ance of but 100000. The origin of the
fire. is unknown.

Washington, Feb. 2.-An additional
movement in the direction of bimetall-
ism was made in the senate today by
Mr.. Chandler (Rep. N. H. 1t was in
the shape of a resolution declaring it
to be the sense of the senate that the
United States should not permanently
acquiesce in the single gold standard,
and that the efforts of the government
should be directed to secure and main
tain the use of silver as we'll as gold as
standard money, with the free coinage
of both. The resolution went over.
The conference report on the immi-
grafton bill was taken up, and was OPP
posed in a long speech by Mr.. Gibson
Dem. Md. who raised the point
against it that the conference COM
mittee had injected new matter into
the bill. An equally long speech was
made in defense of the conference COM
mittee and the bill by Mr.. Lodge (Rep.
Mass.) Much Indignation was ex-
pressed by Nj Lodge at interference
with legislation on the part of the
North German Lloyd company and its
sage of the bill. If the bill was de-
feated, he said. it would be taken as
the victory of a corporation on a great
question of public policy.
The report went over without action.
The remainder of the days session
was taken up by the Nicaraguan canal
bill
Mr. Villas (Dem. Wis.,, who had the
floor, to continue his speech against it,
declined to state whether he thought
the bill could be disposed Of in such
time as to give an opportunity for other
important legislation. He gave notice
of a substitute for the bill which
would provide for the appointment of
an inter oceanic canal commission to
have surveys and Investigations made
for the determination of the most
feasible route for the canal.
Mr.. Villas had not finished his speech
when, at sos the senate adjourned I'M
til tomorrow.
