EX-SENATOR WALSH.
The Mayor of Augusta Passes
Away at His Home.


AUGUSTA (Ga.), March 19.-Hon.
Patrick Walsh, ex-United States Sena-
tor and Mayor of Augusta, died at his
residence to-day after three months ILL
ness of nervous prostration. There had
been little hope of his recovery but his
death was not thought to be SO near at
hand.
Mayor Walsh was one of the most
prominent men in Georgia and he had
received national recognition as the
earnest champion of Southern develop
ments and perhaps the best authority
on the material resources and manu-
featuring products of the South. Mr..
Walsh was born in Ireland in 1910.
For twenty-five years past he has been
editor and proprietor of the Augusta
Chronicle In 1870 he became a mem
Der of the City Council and from 1872
to 1878 he served in the State Legis
lature. In 1SSO-S4 and 1896 he was
a delegate to the Democratic National
Conventions and served four years as
Georgia member of the National Demo-
cratic Executive Committee. He served
as member at large for the Worlds
Fair Committee; in 1894 he was ap-
pointed by Governor Northen to the
United States Senate on the death of
Senator Colquitt; in December, 1897,
he was elected Mayor of Augusta,
which office he filled at the time of
his death.
Mr. Walsh has no children, but his
nephews, who have been associated
with him on the paper, will continue to
rum the Augusta Chronicle

that hour she arose and dressed
Mrs. Places meals are now served
from the Warden's table and will be
until she goes to the chair. She ate a
hearty breakfast and spent the morn
ing reading her Bible and religious
pamphlets.
During the morning Warden Sage
called on Mrs. Place and warned her
to be prepared to go to the chair.
Whether he told her at what hour of
the coming week she must expect the
summons is not known, but it is not
thought he intimated to her more than
a. general idea of the time.
The condemned woman took the
warning coolly. She seems to have
nerved herself to the test
AT noon Mrs. Place ate another
hearty meal. Afterward she lay down
for time After rising she read
awhile and then Matron Riley read to
her. This was followed by a CONVEX
sation on general and religious mat
ters between them.
With the approach of midnight the
hours Mrs. Place has to live are few.
The sentence may be executed at any
hour afterward, but just when the wo-
man will be led to the chair is known
to no one except Warden Sage, and it
is a matter of doubt if even he has
fully determined the matter.

AT JEKYLL ISLAND.
SPEAKER REED THERE AND
THE PRESIDENT COMING.
But the Island Is Taboo For News
paper Men and They Will
Not Be Welcome.

JEk YLL ISLAND (via Brunswick,
Ga-), March 19.-On the surface this
mas been a dreamy, balmy, southern
coast Sunday in the social resort Of
mllnonalreS But there is an under
current or preparation for the ensuing
week and OF political speculation as to
What the. week will bring forth that
serves to put those closely interested
upon tenter hooks. Speaker Reed S
presence with his campaign-maker,
Senator Hanna, Vice President Hobart,
ex-Secretary Day and other notable
persons tomorrow form the basis for
the speculations. 1t is also expected
that Secretary Alger will arrive to-mor-
row or Tuesday, and that adds to the
guessing.
Speaker Reed is taking life easy, and
there appears no trace of anxiety on
his countenance over the approaching
visit of the Chief Executive. He knows
that he was on Jekyll Island first, and
that the evidence is all in his favor as
to the Administration coming to him.
Whatever may have been the wire
working to accomplish this end, the
situation is anything but unfavorable
to the Speaker. He took a spin over
the island this morning with apparent
delight
President Mckinley and party will
occupy the Frederick Baker cottage,
located near the Jekyll Clubhouse and
about 200 yards distant from the Sans
Souci apartment house, wherein Speak
er Reed is as the guest of John G.
Moore of New York. Meantime ar
rangements have been made to give
the Presidential party a warm and
hospitable welcome. Upon the arrival
of the President at Brunswick he will
be met by Mayor Atkinson and the
leading citizens and given the keys Of
the city.
steamer Governor Stafford. A distin-
guished party will meet the President
at the Jekyll dock 1t will consist in
part of Thomas Nelson Page, the novel

H. w. Cannon, President of the Fourth
National Bank, New York; General
Hayes, New York State, and Joseph
Stickney, the coal mine magnate; Jo-
seph Pulitzer, New York World;
James Serylnser, President of the Cen
trail and South Railway; w. B. Isham,
President of the Bank of the Metrop
oils, New York, and Robert c. Pruyn
of the Commercial Bank of Albany,
n. Y.
Strict instructions have been given
that no newspaper men be allowed on
Jekyn Island during the Presidents
stay. 1t is understood to be the desire
that no newspaper man come down, as
the President is supposed to be simply
out for rest and recreation.
