Newman of the Methodist Episcopal
church, an intimate friend of the late
President Grant, died at 2:3O p. m. to-
day at this place. Bishop Newman had
been failing in health for a year past,
but it was only a week ago that his
condition really alarmed his friends.
Since July he had been sinking rap
idly and this morning his physicians
announced that in all probability he
would not survive the day. The imme-
diate cause of the death of Bishop New
man was pneumonia and myelitis. At
2 o'clock this afternoon his pulse was
hardly perceptible. The physicians in
attendance recognized that the end was
near. Relatives and immediate friends
were summoned to the bedside of the
diving man. The bishop became con-
scious shortly before his death and rec
ognized his wife, who was Frustrated
at his bedside Mrs. U. S. Grant, Mrs
r. D. Grant and others arrived at the
scene a moment or two later. Mrs.
Newman is almost crushed by her deep
bereavement. Inasmuch as she is in
comparatively feeble health, it is feared
that she will not long survive her hus-
band.

4 MYSTERIOUS CASE,
Annie Berg Died Within Ten Minutes
After Being Taken to the HosnifnI


Mrs. Annie Berg of No. 210 East street,
who was taken to the New Haven hos
pital in delicate condition about 2
o'clock yesterday afternoon, died at the
hospital within ten minutes after arriv-
ing there No abortion was performed,
but the opinion of physicians familiar
with the case is that Mrs. Berg took too
much Of a medicine prescribed for her
by woman friend
Mrs. Berg was about twenty-three
years of age and her husband who left
her about three years ago, is now liv-
ing in Michigan. She leaves one child,
Esther, about three years old. Mrs.
Berg was employed at the L. Candee
company's rubber shop and earned
about ten dollars week there as rub
ber shoe maker She lived with her un-
Gle, Isaac Granholm at No. 210 East
street. She worked in the rubber shop
last Saturday, but when the shop opened
again yesterday morning she was una
lbe to go to work. DIR. Sperry was call
ed. He left some medicine to make her
sleep, with directions to take it in two
doses. Tuesday night she was very rest
less and called her cousin, who lives in
the same house, and asked him to give
her the bottle of medicine. He did so
and she drank both doses at the same
time. 1t is thought, however, that this
medicine did not cause her DEATH as it
was not strong enough for that 1t is
thought, however, that she took an
overdose of medicine given her by
friend and this caused her death.
AS soon as she died Medical Examiner
White was called and after making an
examination reported the case to the
coroner, DR.. White refused to have
anything to say about the case last
night, as did also the coroner. The de-
tective bureau was notified and Detec-
tive Owen DAILY was detailed on the
case. He was busy looking up the de-
tails last night and called at the house
at 210 East street and questioned the
inmates but no arrests We're made. The
woman who is said to have left the
