H. WALTER WEBB DEAD.
THE WELL KNOWN RAILROAD MAN EX-
PRES AT SCARBOROUGH-ON-
THEHUDSON.

H Walter Webb, the we'll known railroad
operator and for eight years third vice-presi-
dent Of the New-York Central Railroad, died
yesterday at 12:45 p. n. at his home. in Scar
borough-on the Hudson. The Immediate cause
of his death was heart disease He died within
half an hour after he was stricken.
Mr. Webb had long been suffering from an
affection of the lungs OF late. however. 1t
appeared to have released it's hold upon him,
and he had felt stronger than for many months.
Indeed he had been assured by physicians that
there were great chances for his recovery. His
health had been greatly benefited by visit at
brownsville, Ga, last April
Mr. Webb arose yesterday morning feeling
so we'll and strong that at the breakfast table
he said he would take a long walk. Accordingly,
he started out on tour of his grounds, which.
together with the house, are known as Beech
wood. When he returned he went to his Ii
brary and, lying down, complained of feeling
faint.
DIR. ]. D. Madden of Sing Sing, was
summoned When the physician arrived Mr.
Webb was still conscious, but the end was
plainly in sight Twenty minutes afterward
the stricken man dead. Although con-
scious most of the time Mr.. Webb sank inter
mittently into a semi-cOma state, from which
he was only aroused by the administrations OF
the doctor Almost at the last moment he
rallied enough to say goodby to Mrs webb and
his younger son, Griswold Webb ID. Walter
Webb IT. an elder son. did not reach the death
bed until several hours afterward, having re-
turned from Groton. Mass where he had been
attending school.
Upon learning Of the death of Mr. Webb, his
two brothers. G. Creighton and +. Egerton

this committee Will devolve the duty OF con-
structing the platform.
The plank concerning which there Is the most
discussion is the Boer plank This plank, after
commencing the Presidents position during the
war, and praising his offer to England Of media
ton, VIII call attention to the fact that have
done more than any other country to bring
plank VIII so still further and declare that the
Republican party synpathizes with the Beers, 1
not prepared TO say. There are many ad-
vocetes OF such e declaration, and I am deluged
with letters recommending the adoption of this
clause
There IS some question as 10 the trust plank
whether or not as drawn we have gone too
far, or whether we have gone far enough
There are advocates Of both sides, and they
positions.
AS 70 the money plank there is also con-
siderable discussion, particularly the plank
submitted by II. H. Hanna, copy Of which
appears in this mornings Tribune. Some are
fearful that the words flexible and sufficient"
which appear IN the last paragraph Of Mr.
Hauna's resolution are open to nisconstruction,
and that may be charged that they but cloak
the revival Of the silver question. On the other
hand, there is question that at certain times
there occurs great stringency of money. Crops
difficult to move on account Of the need
OF Il, and divers other evils are wrought through
the want Of a sufficient circulating medium.
Mr.. Hanna himself thinks the plank all right,
End a prominent bank president, with whom I
discussed the matter last evening, heartily
agrees with him. But, a I said before, this is
more or less an academic discussion on my part,
for al best I am speaking Of the draft Of a
platform, the platform itself viii be con-
stFucted by the committee appointed Tor that
purpose
