TENSE PAIN.
Funeral viii Be Held On Tuesday,
From ST. Paul's-Order of Railway
Conductors Will Oficiate = De-
ceased Had a Host of Friends to
Mourn His Untimely End-Two
Sisters Make a Statement.

The circumstances connected with
the sad ending of Henry NJ. Hadley, as
related in The Herald yesterday morn
ing. were not correct in all the details,
although it was through no fault OF the
reporter who obtained the item.
While Hadley had taken morphine IN
considerable Quantity, it appears from
the result of the post norton that he
died from a hemorrhage of the brain.
General Baggage Agent Swortwood
of the Oregon Short Line states that
up to the hour of 2 o'clock yesterday
morning it had been DECIDED not to give
the news to the papers, and that all
were astonished when they read the
story in both The Herald and Tribune
Mr.. Swortwood was present at the
Hadley home. He declares that had
the friends been aware of the publicity
the event had attained, the straight
tale would have been told.
WAS IN GREAT PAIN.
1t appears that Hadley has been af-
fiicted with rheumatism, and sustained
a severe attack on Friday morning,
which caused him great pain. AS the
day wore on this became so unbearable
that he begged for morphine to quell
the same. Some eighth-grain tablets
were at hand, and his sister, Laura,
with whom he lived, gave him eight OF
the same, one after the other.
At D. m. his condition was so bad
that DR.. Critehlow was called and ad
ministered a hypodermic injection, at
his own request. From that time on,
however, he continued to grow worse,
and additional medical aid was sum-
moned, until five physicians were pres
ent; but they could do nothing for him,
and he died. The post norton re-
vealed a cause OF death as stated
above.
HIS SISTER GIVES THE FACTS.
The facts connected with his death
are given by his two sisters, Grace T.
and Laura HadIey. In addition to
this, the ladies state that he had no
cause for suicide but was in good
health and spirits and looked toward a
bright future. He was 81 years of age,
instead of Al as stated.
The railroad men, who have known
him for long time, have the funeral
arrangements in hand. A messenger
up the matter with the, lodge of the
Order of Railway Conductors, of which
he was a member, and fThe fraternity
will send down a large delegation to
attend the funeral. The same will be
held on Tuesday at p. M, at St.
PauPs church, corner of Main and
Fourth South streets. it
Henry NJ. Hadley was man of good
promise and had many friends in this
city, He was a genial soul, full OF
joy, and was most pleasant COM
panion. His acquaintance was a large
one, and there will be universal regret
at his untimely end.
HADLEY'S HISTORY.
Hadley had lived in Utah about eight
years, coming here from Vincennes,
Ind. He was thorough railroad man,
and has been in the employ of the
| Union Pacific and the Oregon Short
Line since coming here.
His sisters have the heartfelt sym
pathy of all those who knew him in
life, and when the ciods are falling on
his coffin, the tears of a. host of friends
will mingle with theirs at the eternal
J. parting.
| There is nothing pathetic when the
tree which is old and withered, falls
to the ground to mingle with the dust
of earth; but when the sturdy one, in
! the prime of glory, is wrecked by the
/ tempest, regret follows the event. So
with mankind. When the aged, full
| of years, dies, it is but the fulfilling
of the work of nature; but when acct
dent or unlooked-for malady carries
off the strong man in the noontime OF
! life, the tears flow freer and the heart
! There is a consolidate which follows
! however. The sleep which follows a
life as gentle and kind as was his
must be soft and pleasant, and the
awakening in glory land will be joy
