Paris, February len. Felix Faure,
President of the Republic of France,
died at 10 O'Clock tonight, after an
illness of three hours.
President Faure died from apoplexy.
1t had been known for ONE time
that his heart was weak, but the first
intimation that he was SICK. was given
at half-past six this afternoon, when a
message was despatched to the pre-
mier, NJ. Dupuy, announcing that the
President was i'll. M. Dupuy immedi-
ately repaired to the Elysee.
All medical efforts proved futile and
the President died on the stroke Of ten.
The flag over the Elysee was immedi-
ately lowered TO half-mast and the
news was despatched to all the officials
and the members of the Cabinet. Gen.
Zurlinden, military Governor of Paris.
the grand chancellor Of the Legion of
Honor, the project Of the Seine, the
project of the police of Paris, and the
presidents Of the Senate and Chamber
Of Deputies promptly arrived at the
Elysee.
The report spread rapidly through
the city, and large crowds soon as
sembled in the vicinity Of the palace.
About 6 O'Clock, NJ. Faure, who was
then in his study, went t. the door Of
the room of M.Legall, his private Sec
rotary, which is contiguous to the
study, and said:
Il do not feel well. Come to me-"
NJ. Legal Immediately went to the pres
ident's aid, led him to a sofa and called
Gen. Bailloud, general secretary of the
presidents household; NJ. Blondel, under
private secretary, and DR.. Humbert, who
happened to be at the Elysee attending a
relative.
The presidents condition did not appear
dangerous; but DR.. Humbert, on perceiv-
ing that he was rapidly getting worse,
telephoned for DR.. Lanne-Longue n Dr..
Cheurleton, who arrived with NJ. Dupuy
and were Joined later by DIR. Bergerri.
Though NJ. Faure still retained con-
seriousness, the doctors soon recognized
that the case was hopeless, but it was not
until nearly eight o'clock that the mem
bers of the family were informed of the
real state of affairs. They then came to
the sofa where the president lay. Soon
after he began to lose consciousness, and
despite all efforts, expired at 10 in the
presence of the family and NJ. Dupuy.
NJ. Dupuy communicated the intelli-
gence to NJ. Loubet, president of the SEN
ate; NJ. Paul D~eschanel. president of the
chamber of deputies, the member of the
bin and other high functionaries, af-
ter which he addressed the following dis
patch to all projects and sub-prefects in
France:
L have the sad task to announce to you
the death of the president, who died at 10
O'Clock discovering as a result of an apo
plectic stroke. Kindly take the necessary
measures TO inform the population i'm
mediately Of the mourning that has fallen
upon the republic. The government
cunts Upon your active vigilance at this
painful juncture."
1t was not until IL o'clock that the news
began to become known to the general
public in Paris. From that time began a
continuous arrival of public men. Strict
orders were issued, and only members
of the abine were admitted to the
Elysee.

ANOTHER SNOW STORM.

AS Severe as That OF the Early Part of the
Week, Raging About Cumberland.
CUMBERLAND, Md, February ia
heavy snow began falling here at noon to-
day and advices from 1ne surrounding
towns Indicate that it is general in this
section of the State. The fall is as great
as that of Sunday and Monday, and If 1t
continues during the night as it promises
to do, there are grave fears that the rail-
roads in this n~eighborhood will be again
completely bic ked. Great apprehension
is also felt that a food in the upper Po-
tomac river will occur because Of the ice
gorges and high water.

Senator Nelson E. Whitaker is a man
who has the courage of his convictions.
When party advantage is to be gained
by the sacrifice of principle he does not
point was furnished during the execu-
tive session of the Senate, when the
appointments made by Governor At
kinson were under consideration. When
Senator OsentOn stated that Alex. Nc
Weigh Miller, who had been appointed
as a Democrat on the Board of Direc-
tors of the Weston Hospital for the
Insane, was really al avowed Republi-
can, the Senate declined to accept the
statement and decided to postpone ac-
ton awaiting investigation by a COM
mittee. Senator White asserted that
he would vote against confirmation of
Miller's appointment if Senator Osen-
tons charge could be substantiated.
Fortunately the executive session had
not been brought to a close before con-
elusive evidence was given that Miller
was chairman of the Republican com
mittee of his county. Senator Whit
aker without hesitation, stated that his
duty in the matter, under his oath as a
member, was clear. Governor Atkin-
son had no right to place him in such
a position. A Republican Senator left
the chamber, consulted the Governor
and returned with the information that
he declined to withdraw the appoint
ment. Senator White decided that he
would wait a few days to give Miller
an opportunity to resign. Senator
Whitaker not only voted with the
Democrats, but with characteristic
force, advocated refusal to confirm the
appointment.

There is probably NJ member Of the
Legislature who enjoys a greater de-
gree of personal popularity among his
associates in the State law-making
body than H. F. Behrens. His social
traits are too well known in Wheeling
to require more than a mere mention.
Sincerity is the keynote to his charac-
ter, and his personal integrity gives
him a standing upon the floor Of the
House and in committee rooms which
makes him a very valuable member.
He is known to be a very successful
business man, and for that reason was
appointed on the Finance Committee,
where his advice is frequently sought
and followed.

Committee on Education. Stuart H. Bow
man. Although his IS his first political
office, he is making his power felt. He s
the author of the income AK measure
which is rapidly growing in popularity.
and of the bills to tax express and tele-
graph companies, both of which VIII prob
ably be enacted. He has been a deep stu
dent Of economic principles and is untir-
ing in his efforts to secure an equitable
distribution of taxes. His resolution to
reduce the State levy TO twenty cents will
materially lessen the burden of taxation
borne by the farmers, of whose interests
he IS a careful guardian HIS conspicuous
s~ervices in the House demand that his
sphere of usefulness be widened, and he is
being urged to enter the Senatorial race
in the Tenth district in 1850. With the en-
viable record he has established this ses-
sion, he will be a formidable aspirant.

A bill has been offered in the Senate to
prevent merchants from issuing coupons
or checks, or engaging in any gift enter
prise. 1t will prevent a merchant, for ex-
ample, giving a base bail outfit with a
suit of clothes. 1t would ruin the pre-
MUM stamp enterprise. 1t would prevent
the placing of coupons in packages of to-
bacco and coffee. In all these instances,
West Virginia, and particularly Wheeling
merchants and manufacturers, would be
affected by the operation of the law. 1t
is not at all likely that the measure will
pass.

During the debate in both branches,
within the last few days, there nave been
d number of uncomplimentary references
TO the lobbyists. In the House, yesterday.
Mr.. Bowman stated hat it had been

In the Senate, on the same day. Mr.. Farr
served notice that he would object to
lobbyists upon the floor of the House.

causing arrests to be made. Other MEM

touching upon the matter.

The Senate got down to business to-

went through the House. Four of the
measures which passed the Senate
