e. N. and a. H. Dingley, sons of the
deceased; James c. Hope, an intimate
friend Of the family DR.. Deale, one of
the physicians who had been attend
ing him throughout his Illness, and
the two nurses. To within a few hours
before his death the family firmly be-
lieyed, as it had throughout his Illness,
that Mr.. Dingley would recover, and
1t was only when it became apparent
that he was dying that its members
gathered at his bedside. While the
past few days have given great hope
of recovery, the condition Of the pa
tient has been dangerously weak, and
had seriously affected his heart Late
last night and again this morning Mr..
Dingley had bad sinking spell, from
which he never rallied. There were
further evidences of heart failure as
the day passed, and the strongest sttm-
ulants were administered, but without
effect. He failed perceptibly during
the afternoon, and as night came hope
was abandoned.
Mrs. Dingley is very much prostrated
by her husbands death, and is now
under the care of physicians.

In speaking Of Mr. Dingley's death
tonight, Senator Hale said:
I'm the present condition of political
affairs Gov. Dingleys death is a great
national loss. In all questions relat-
ing to finances, to the revenues of the
country and the adjustment of great
fiscal questions, Mr.. Dingley was above
all others an authority. 1t is difficult
to say who cans take his place. He
had the confidence of his associates in
the house, the confidence of the senate,
the confidence Of the president and the
confidence of the entire country Maine
will especially lament him. Early and
late he had devoted himself to the in
terests of the state and without dis
tinction Of party, all believed in his
fealty, integrity and fidelity"
