WORLDS GREATEST |NF|DEL
Col. Robt. G. Ingersoll Passed
Away Suddenly.
A VICTIM OF HEART DISEASE
The End Came without Warning. the
Only Person Present at the Time BE-
ing His wife-His Last Words.

New York, July "a Colonel Robert
q. lnsersoll died at his home, Walston-
Dn-Hudson, near Dobb's Ferry, today,
His death was sudden and unexpected,
and ,e.ulted from heart disease, from
which he had suffered since 1895. In
that year, during the republican ma.
ional convention, he was taken i'll and
had to return home. He never fully
recovered from the attack OF heart dis
ease, and was under the care of phys.
Clans constantly.
For the last three days, Mr.. Ingersoll
had not been feeling well. Last night
he was in better health and spent
portion of the evening playing billiards
with Walston II. Brown. his son-in.
law. and c. p. Farrell, his brother-in.
law and private secretary. He seemed
TO be in better health and spirits when
he retired than he had been for several
DAYS.
This morning he rose at the usual
hour and joined the family at break.
fast. He then said he had spent bad
night, but felt better. lie had been
suffering from abdominal pains and
tightness about the chest. He did not
think his condition at all dangerous.
After breakfast he telephoned to DR..
Smith, his physician, who is at Bell
Haven. and told him of his experience
during the night. DR.. Smith told him
to continue the use of nitro. glycerine,
and that he would see him during the
day. Colonel Ingersoll spent the morn
ing swinging in a hammock and sitting
on the veranda with the members OF
his family. He said he was better and
had no pain.
At 1890 he started to 60 up stairs.
On reaching the head of the stairs, Col
onel Ingesroll turned into his wife's
room. Mrs. lngersoll was there. To-
gethe: they discussed what they would
have for luncheon. and Colonel Inger.
soil said he had better not eat much,
owing to the trouble with his stomach.
He seemed in good spirits then.
After talking for few minutes, Col.
onel Ingersoll crossed the room and sat
down in rocking chair. Mrs. Inger-
soil asked him how lie was feeling. and
be replied: ooh. better" These
were his last words. A second after
they were uttred he was dead. The
only sign noticed by Mrs. IngersoI was
that the whites of his eyes suddenly
showed. There vas not even sigh or
groan as death came. Doctors were
hastily called. but their verdict wa,
that death had come instantly.

ALONG THE COAST.
Items OF General Interest Cleaned
From the Thriving Pacific
states.


The Washington state fair commits
.ion at North Yakima, has completed
the premium list. and the book is in
the hands of the printer. 1T las been
revised ana enlarged to cover, as far as
possible. all the industries OF this great
state, and induce exhibits of products
from the Pacific Northwest. The list
has been increased by adding many ar
ticles of home production, and the
prizes more than doubled, to insure
greater displays of native resources.
The commission recognizes the neces-
sity of honest competition in farming
and dairying. fruit and vegetable
growing, ranch and range productions
and all lines of progress in the field
and factory. While the state fair has
not yet reached perfection. the earnest
cooperation OF all interested will make
of the fourth annual exhibition, the
best of its kind ever held in the state.
Many excellent exhibits are promised
from the leading sections of the state,
and Oregon and British bia,
will he well represented. The race
course is in fine condition and several
horses are now training for the speed
contests, for which large purses will be
offered. The commission offers sl0,-
600 in premiums for the various exhib.
its and races. Special rates have been
obtained from the railroads. and excur-
sions will be run from the cities of Sc
attic, Spokane, Tacoma and intermedi-
ate points. The merchants and manu-
facturers have contributed literally in
special premiums and with the pros
pect of enormous crops there is no
reason why the fair should not be a
complete success.

ANOTHER COMBINATION,
This Time rs the Baltimore & Ohis
and o. II. a. n. with Union Pacific.

New York. July 22.-The Herald
says: A deal is under way involving
the combination of at least four prom
ineDt railroads, and perhaps two or
three more, making a complete trunk
line from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
The scheme involves a merging of sew
eral OF the properties in which Kuhn,
Loeb & Company, f. II. Hartman and
Speyer & Company are interested, and.
with their friends, exert a controlling
influence.
Among these properties are the Un-
ion Pacific, the Illinois Central and
the Chicago e. Alton. the Chicago Ter
minal Transfer Comapny, the Oregon
Short Line, the Oregon Railway g. Nav
igation Company and the Baltimore
& Ohio. 1t is asserted in some quar-
ters that the Great Northern will come
in, but this is considered doubtful, al
though James J. Hill is closely asso-
ciated with several of the gentlemen
who are prominent in the railroads
mentioned.
This com bination will give a com
pact system. and will bring about a
revolution in traffic alliance. The I'm
ion Pacific is the keystone. Its closest
connection at present is the Chicago &
Northwestern, and for long time it
has been the prevailing opinion in
Wall street that the Vanderbilts would
attach both the Northwestern and the
Union Pacific, and were not aware I'M
I'll a few weeks ago Of what was going
on. The Northwestern directors have
hurriedly considered the advisability
of extending their Fremont branch &c
Ogden to connection with the Central
Pacific, which is controlled by the
Southern Pacific. Cut off from the
Union Pacific. the Northwestern will
find no road to turn to for Pacific
coast business that does not parallel
it for considerable distance.
Thus, with the Northwestern ex.
tending its Fremont, Elk Horn q Mis-
souri, River railway from Casper to
Ogden, in order to fight the Union Pa
cific, and the Northern Pacific forced to
protect itself against the Oregon lines.
which have recently been acquired by
the Union Pacific, there is likely to be
a great time among the great trans
continental roads in the near future.

that they begin work Immediately for
any sick soldiers on the transports dur
ing the voyage. He also suggested
that, with view to making this serv-
ice as useful as possible. It would be
desirable to divide them INTO two de.
tachments and send on separate trans
ports.
Miss Duensing was accordingly
placed in charge of one patry Of five
and Miss Fraser in charge OF the re-
naming four, and in accordance with
the adjutant-general's direction they
were instructed to report Immediately
to Major General Shafter in San Fran

WASHINGTON VOLUNTEERS
VIII Probably Leave Manila About
August 10.

Seattle, July 24.-The war depart
ment at Washington has given out the
following information in regard to the
Washington volunteers:
General Otis has cabled that heavy
storms are raging around Manila, caus-
ing much dealy in loading transports
now there with the volunteers to be re-
turned. The transport Grant leaves
tn is morning with the First North Da-
kota. First Idaho and First Wyoming
volunteers. 1t is probable other regi-
ments will leave in the following order:
Thirteenth Minnesota, First Montana,
First South Dakota, First Washington.
Twelfth Kansas, First Tennessee. This
superstition is based on the order given
General Otis to return the volunteers
in the order in which they left the
United States for the Philippine
islands. There are other transport s
now at Manila with a capacity suffi-
cient to return the regiments mem
toned above, and it is probable that b.
the 10th of August the First Washing
ton will have left"
