AS TRAGIC AS UNEXPECTED.
His Last Words Were. This. Your Honors, is Our Contention" and Ten Min
 utes Later He Was Dead

Washington, January 26-Former AttorneY-General Augustus H. Gar land was stricken with apoplexy while addressing the United States Supreme Court at 12:15 o'clock this afternoon. He died within ten min
 utes. The occurrence came with startling and tragic suddenness, changing the usual calm dignity of the court into temporary confusion, while the dying man was carried from the chamber Futile efforts to alleviate his condition were made
 When the court convened at noon Mr. Garland resumed his argument in the ease of Towson vs. Moore which had been b. gun yesterday.

There was q fuil bench, with the ex- caption of Justices Brewer and White. Mir. Garland spoke calmly and with no evidences of agitation or effort He had read from a law volume and had followed with this sentence: "This, your honors, is our conten- tention."
 As the last word was uttered Mir. Garland was seen to raise his hand and then gasp. He tottered and fell sideM ise, striking against a chair, overturning it as he fell heavily to the floor. A succession of loud, deep gasps came from him as he lay on he floor. His associate in the ease, Mir. Franklin Mackey, was at once by his side, and with the other counsel and officials the head of the dying man wts raised, his shoes re- moved and q draught of water given him. A ceathly pallor had over spread his face, and this soon gave place to deep purple, which fore told the gravity of the attack. He was carried from the chamber across to the room of Chief Clerk McKenny and there placed on a sofa. Senator Gallinger, who Eis 8 physician. was ,near at hand.

1884 he was appointed attorney general of the United States, and re- signing the Sena torship, entered the cabinet. He was the first person from Arkansas who ever held Il cab inet position.
 Senator Garland had been n wid- over for some years. He married in Washington, Arkansas, Miss Vir- ginia Sanders. She was a daughter of Captain Simon T. Sanders, who for thirty years was clerk of Hemp. stead county. By his marriage there are three children living, Sanders, E |. Cummins and William.
 In e0mmeneinghisa administration, Governor Garland found the State treasury entirely empty. As he ex- pressed it, on his taking possession, "there was not enough money in the treasury to buy sufficient wood to build fire in the governors soffice." The State government was conduct ed for two months upon the promis- sory notes of individuals, and after that wasSrun on borrowed money, for W lich loans were effected, which in time, however, were all paid back and liquidated. The first loan of $230 000 as repaid in June, 1876.
 After the disturbed condition of af- fairs which had previously existed, public matters settled down into a state of calmness and peace, the ben eficial effects of which were seen in a revival of business, in immigra ton and i'll progress in public enterprises.
 Since his retirement from the office of attorney general, Mir. Garland spent the greater part of his time in Washington, D. O., in the practice of law. His country home is at Hom- iny Hill, across the line Tn Saline county. The death of Governor Garland leaves the list of living ex- governors HIS follows: Henry Nj. Rector, Powell Clayton, o. 4. Had ley, Elisha Baxter, Thomas J.Church- i'll, James II. Berry, Simon P. Hugh es, James P. Eagle, W. M. Fishback and James P. Clarke.
 The wife of the deceased and his daughter, Miss Daisy, are buried at Mount Holly in Little Rock, and it is probable that his remains will also be sent to that city for interment.
 MT. Garland was great lawyer and Il wise statesman. No public man in Arkansas ever had career Ko phennmenally successful. During his long service in public life he had 1 hold ou the affections uf the people l that could not he shaken.
 The news of his death will be re- ceiyed with profund sorrow through out the State. Many sorrows and bereayements fell to his lot in the lntter part of his life, and he was just recovering from painful a"cl- dent that brought him near to death when he end came. H.. died, ts he had often expressed the wiah to die. without warning and with0utspain.

 DISAPPEARANCE.

 Night.
Where is Henry Gleason?

" HSAS 10 AAOhi olGdSOUl
 That Is what is agitating the minds of his several hundred friends at the Cotton Bolt shops, his family and everyone else that has heard o; his sudden disappearance.
 MT. Gleason has been in the em- ploY of the Cotton Belt road for the past several years and has prov en himself to be a faithful and ef- 1cent employe, He was just few months ago promoted to engineer on the yard switch engine.
 On last Tuesday the pay car made it's regular monthly appearance here and, as it usually is, was enthusias- tically received by the railroad boys,
 Among the happy faces that ap- peared at the pay car window to get his check was Engineer Henry Gleason. Tuesday night he register. ed for duty. About 8:30 o'clock he complained to the fireman who was on the engine, saying that he was sick aud unable to remain at his work. Another engineer was sen Tor and took MT. Geas0n's place at the throttle about o'clock. Mr. Gleason left the engine, and his fellow tmPloYes thought he went directly home. us he started in that direction.
 Wednesday night he did not re- po for duty and it was thought he was snIl confined to his room. Thursday, is wife, who was former ly Miss Emma Senyard, reported to the eff islals that she had rot seen her husband since he left home Tuesday evening.
 A thorough in, estigation is being made of his sudden disappearance both by the police and tue railroad 'lllSlota- lbc idbttI udFt Sell l. itlt = grams both north and south on their line but nothing as yet has been learned.
 Friends state that Mir. Gleason cashed his monthly check Tuesday evening. the amount of which was $40.
 Mir. Gleason has doubtless met with foul play, as no one seems 10 know anything of him and nothing can be learned Of his whereabouts. The railroad company will search the ravine which is near the shops, and which would have doubtless been the first place thugs would have thrown the body to conceal the crime, if he has been murdered. MT. Gleason has wife and small child in this city.
 LATER-A small length of Mir. l Gleason's watch chain together with n part of his working shirt were found this morning in the missing mans front yard on Morris street. All Ot Lis yaluables are missing from his trunk, and the general belief now is that Mr. Gleason has gone to wis. 1t relatives in Kansas City.
