LIEUTENANT BRUMBY DEAD.
of Typhoid Fever in WASH
fngton.

WASHINGTON, Dec 49, Lieutenant
Thomas M. Brumby, flag lieutenant to
Admiral Dewey during the Manila cam
paign, who has been ill with typhoid
fever for several weeks, died at Garfield
hospital.
The death of Lieutenant Brumby
while not unexpected was great shock
to Admiral Dewey The relations Oh
the two men for several years have been
very intimate and a strong friendship
had grown up between them. Lieuten-
ant Brumby went out to the Asiat O
station with the A imi al and had been
with him until they both returned to
the United States a few months ago.
In his capacity as flag lieutenant to the
admiral, Lieutenant Brumby was
thrown with his chief practically all
the time and acted as his personal repre-.
sentative in many matters of detail del
egated To him by the commanding off
Ger.
He was regarded by Admiral Dewey
as bright, energetic and capable as
sistant, while the devotion of the latter
to the admiral was something marvel
GUS. The burden of his thought during
the latter days of his Illness, when his
mind was racked with delirlum, seemed
to be regarding his work for the adj
miral.
The lieutenant's present illness dated
from about Nov. 81 first symptoms being
nothing more than a cold, which, how
ever, failed TO yield to treatment, and
soon afterwards he went to the Garfield
hopital, where he died.
Admiral Dewey was unremitting III
his attention to him until his condition
became preearious and visitors We're not
allowed to see him. Some days ago
Mrs w. |. Hayward of Marietta, Ga, a
sister, was summoned and Thursday
she was joined by her husband, both re-
manning with the lieutenant until he
died. The lieutenant's aged mother is
still living in Marietta Ga. The father,
who is dead, was colonel of the Four.
teenth Georgia regiment in the Confed-
crate army.
Lieutenant Brumby was Al years of
age and unmarried. Nothing def
mite has been decided concerning the
funeral except that the body will be
taken to Georgia for interment, leaving
here tonight for Atlanta. 1t is entirely
improbable that Admiral Dewey will
accompany b4lD DI0 w LII QCclE-
nate his secretary, Lieutenant H. H.
Caldwell, to perform that duty.
In his report of the battle of Manila
Admiral Dewey spoke in very comph-
mentary terms of the services and gal
lantry OF his flag lieutenant and re-
commended that he be advanced some
numbers ON the list of leutenants His
recommendation was adopted by the
navy department. and the name sent TO
the senate but, together with number
of other promotions made by the de-
partment, failed to be acted upon.
The promotion recommended placed
him about - on the list OF lieutenants,
and, had it been confirmed, he would in
less than year from now have reached
the grade of lieutenant commander.
The heutenant's death is the third of
those who were closely associated with
Dewey, the others being Captain Grid
ley and Captain Wood.
Lieutenant Brumby was presented
with sword by the legislature of Geor-
gia on Oct. 20. He remained In Geor-
gia some days after that and returned
to Washington about the middle of No
tember.

whole thing, The eclipse was nearly
total and when at its greatest heighth
there was but .004 of the surface Of

The annual meeting of the Pittsburg
Synod was brought to very suspicious
close at the English Lutheran Church
yesterday morning and the visiting min
listers and lay delegates departed for
their respective homes in the after
noon. New officers were elected, some
important appointments were made,
suitable resolutions were adopted, re-
ports were received from several COM
mittees and the seminary debt ques-
ton was settled satisfactorily.
The final session was opened with
devotional exercises under the conduct
of Rev. ]. E. Lerch, assisted by Rev.
j. P. Neffss who offered prayer. Rev.
John Weidley, the president, was ex-
cused from further attendance, after
which Rev. c. L. Streamer was chosen
to occupy the chair. Rev. ]. w.
Schwartz, D. D., was then instructed
to assist the seminary directors in the
raising Of funds to liquidate the debt
of the institution. The contract for
publishing the minutes Of the Synod
was awarded to the Lutheran Publica-
ton Society, and three thousand copies
Of the minutes were ordered.
The election of a new corps of Off
GERS for the ensuing year was next in
order. There were no contests, the
votes being cast by the officials, and
the result was as follows:
President-Rev. Charles L. Streamer,
of Greensburg, Pa
Secretary-Rev. William ]. Bucher,
of Braddock, Pa
Missionary President-Rev. C. B.

The report of the committee on Sem
mary debt. composed Of J. w. Schwartz,
Eli Miller, John Tomlinson and John
W. Paffenberger, and which was adopt
ed, contained the following:
"The members of the Board Of Di-
rectors Of the Seminary at Gettys-
burg from this body present the follow
ing minutes, regarding that portion of
the debt against that institution appor-
toned to this Synod. The amount we
have agreed TO assume is s6,256 We
believe that this sum can be secured
in no way SO successfully as by a
personal canvass of the churches and
by a special appeal to their wealthy
men. For this purpose We recommend
that the Synod appoint one of our num-
Der, who, with the professors of the
Seminary, shall cooperate with the
pastors of the various charges in our
territory during this synodical year;
and that his expenses incurred in per-
forming this duty be paid from the
amount We shall secure"
There was a report from the commit
tee on absentees, recommending that
they be excused for different reasons,
including expense, distance and old
age.

success which has always attended
Lewis Morrison's grand production of
Faust" Every season since this at

without room for the infusion Of new

possible. Now comes the report that
Morrison's new Faust" this season
