from the unconscious state into which
he lapsed early in the day, and his
death was calm and peaceful. The i'm
mediate cause of death was pneumo-
mia, which developed from an attack OF
la grippe, contracted about a week ago.
The venerable senator was confined to
his home but seven days. Despite his
advanced age, he attended his sena-
torial duties faithfully, and regularly
went to the capitol About ten days
ago the weather here was cold. raw and
foggy, and his physician thinks that
exposure to it's rigOrs brought on an
attack of la grippe. The day before
congress adjourned for the Christmas
holidays, the senator was unable to
leave his residence. He grew no better
as the days went on, his low vit1liry,
due to advanced age, being unable to
resist the disease. On Christmas night
it developed into pneumonia, and f,em
that time until the end ne sank stead
lily.
No definite funeral arraagen ents
have yet been made, but it IS altogether
likely that public services will By neld
in the senate chamber.
The remains of Mrs. Morrill,, who
died during the present year, are now
in a vault at Rock Greek cemetery,
near this city, and the senator's body
may be deposited there, pending re-
moval to Strafford, Vt, where a ma
soleum is in course of construction.
In the death of Senator Morrill,, the
senate lost its Hnior member in point
of service, and its Oldest in age. He
had served continuously in the senate
for more than thirty-one years, and
he was So years of age on the 14th of
April last With the single exception
of Hon Galusha Grow of the house of
representatives., he was the only man
in congress whose congressional career
began prior to the beginning of tie
civil war, and he had the honor over
Mr.. Grow, in that his congressional
service had been continuous, COY erng,
in the senate and the house combined,
almost forty-four years.
1t has been his annual custom for
several years /, asst to make one formal
address on some topic of live interest
to the senate, and this has been listened
to with attention by his colleagues,
who have regarded the speeches as re
markable, in view Of the age of their
author The last address was delivered
week or more before the Christmas
holidays, the subject being the need
OF a building for the United States
supreme courts and other courts. It's
deliverance showed few signs of less
ened vitality, and at it's conclusion the
honor was done the senator OF d. unani-
nous passage of the resolution on
which he spoke.
Senator Morrill, was born in STRAIT
ford, W.T. April "A, 1910, and in early
life was a merchant, later an agricul-
turist. He was elected to the house Of
representatives in the Thirty fourth
congress and for four succeeding terms.
Then he was transferred to the senate
as Union Republican. taking his seat
March 4, 1857. Since that time his serv-
ice has been continuous. He has taken
an important part in legislation, par
ticularly on commercial and financial
| questions, his position as chairman of
the finance committee giving him a
| leading part in all measures relating
to the tariff. banking or currency.

Servant Girl.

San Francisco, Dec. 27.-The defense
in the Botkin case has closed and the
arguments will begin tomorrow, and
then the case will go to the jury. To-
day was occupied with the introduc-
ton of testimony in rebuttal and the
gathering Up of odds and ends in the
testimony. Several witnesses were
called.
DR.. Tyrell, who swore on a previous
occasion that he had visited Mrs
Botkin on the afternoon of July 81, was
recalled and repeated his testimony.
Miss Maggie Smith, 4 domestic en-
ployed in the Victoria hotel, Gaid that
DR.. Tyrell had asked her TO direct him
to Mrs. Botkin's room. She was posi-
tive that it was not on a Sunday and
substantiated her statement by saying
that she is never left in charge of the
house on Sunday. She stated that she
had served dinner to Mrs. Botkin on
the Sunday in question. in Mrs Bot
kins room. Miss Smith said that she
saw Mrs. Botllin return to the house
late that afternoon and speak to one
Of the guests in the hall. This testi-
m0ny corroborated that of a previous
witness.
William J. Corcoran, purser of the
steamer Farallon, plying between this
city and Eureka, Cal, stated that his
vessel arrived here at 4:1O o'clock on
the morning of June IS.
This is the day the link anonymous
letter was mailed in this city to Mrs
Dunning Mrs. Botkin was stopping in
Eureka at that time. The prosecution
tried to prove that the letter was sent
to this city with a lot of other letters
for posting, the Farallon not being a
regular mail boat. The anonymous let
ter was postmarled June is, at 7:3O p.
m, and Purser C0rcoran stated that
all mail entrusted 10 him is mailed
within an hour after his arrival here
This seems to be the weakest point in
the prosecution. Several other wit
nesses We're examined and an adjourn
ment taken until tomorrow morning.
-Four counsel viii argue, and each will
take up one session of the court. At
torney General r. c. White OF Della

talked of in this connection, is not
likely to figure in the case. Hedges
says he does not remember having any
such note at the bank, or having signed
it, and on that rather vague statement
the theory that Stout had forged it
was built Mr.. Stoutt denies having
committed forgery, and AYERS that the
note came into his hands in the regular
course of business, and as far as he
knows, it is perfectly proper in all re-
spects. Even if it We're a forgery, it
seems that the state authorities would
be the proper parties to prosecute a
charge of that nature, and not the
United States government.
DR.. Pinkerton reports Mr.. Stout do
ing very nicely, and his condition is
such as to indicate rapid recovery. He
is gaining strength, and yesterday was
able to sit up for a short time. The
prospect now is that he viii be able to
be present at the preliminary hearing
of Cashier A. B. Jones, who is charged
in complaint sworn to by Detective
George Sheets, with assault with intent
to murder.
The hearing is set for Wednesday,
Jan. 4, before Justice McMaster.

Hadley said:

Evanston, Wyo., Dec. 27.-Great ex-
element prevails in Diamondville and
vicinity in consequence of the fire
which started in the Diamondville mine
yesterday afternoon. The cause of the
fire seems to be a mystery. Every eff
fort is being made to extinguish the
fire, which superintendent Sneddons
believes can be controlled and the mine
resume operations in about three weeks.
In the event of inability to control fire,
it is the prevalent opinion that Hams
Fork river, which runs close to the
mine, will be utilized to flood the burn
ing region. One man is reported miss
ing, but whether he has perished in the
mine is impossible to determine ut pres
ent.
This is a very valuable property con-
trolled by Marcus Daily, and is the
mainstay of the town of Diamondville
and the principal producer for the coal
supply of the Anaconda smelters.
