 Newburgh, N. Y, Jan. 7.-The Rev.
 Dr. Edward McGlynn, rector of St.
 Mary's church, died at the rectory at
 6:2O this afternoon, after an illness of
 about seven weeks. Death was due to
 heart failure superinduced by Bright's
 disease. A minor surgical operation
 was performed on Dr. McGlynn last
 night by Dr. Charles E. Townsend, the attending physician, and Dr. Andrew V. Jova, but this did not affect the pa-
 tlent or contribute materially to his death. During the night Dr. McGlynn
 had several sinking spells, and the play- slclans were called early to his bedside
 where they remained until he died At noon 1t was apparent that the end
 was near and pr. McGlynn received holy communion from Rev. D. OCon. nell, assistant rector of St. Mary's, who later administered extreme unction Af- ter high mass in the morning Father O'Connell anointed Dr. McGlynn. All efforts toward prolonging life were made by the physicians, but at 4 o'clock the priest lapsed into uncon- seriousness, his last audible prayer be- ing: Jesus, have mercy on me" He passed away without recovering con- sciousness
 For two days past, Dr. McGlynn was troubled with hiccoughs, but was able to take liquid nourishment to the last. Dr. McGlynn was aware that death was near, receiving the word tranquilly from Father O'Connell. This morning telegrams were sent to jDr. McGIynn's relatives and friends in New York city and to Archbishop Corrigan Rev. J.s N. Connolly wired back: His Grace will arrive in Newburgh by West shore at S:10."
 Archbishop Corrigan has already made arrangements to visit Dr.. Mo- Glynn and would have come or Mon4 day. The relatives missed train and did not arrive until Dr. McGlynn had become unconscious Efforts were made to locate Frank McGlynn, the ac- tor, son of Dr. McGlynn's brother, who lives in California Among those present at Dr. McGlynn's bedside were Rev. Father M. J, snally of St. Pat ricks church, Rev. Father Dooley of St. Ann's, New York; Rev. Father O'Con- nell, and members of the household.
 The cheerfulness that characterized Dr. McGlynn was exhibited to the last. Even when the physicians were using salt water to keep him alive, a few hours longer Dr. McGlynn evinced much interest and finally remarked: Well. the ways of the physicians are wonderful" He smilingly told Father Dooley that he was watching him and cautioned to hold up higher a basin which he grasped
 The citizens of the city were prepar- ing testimonial for Dr. McGlynn, who celebrated his first mass in St. Mary's church, on New Years day, 1885, and who had been in the ministry for forty years. People of all denominations were to have united in honoring the priest and purse was to have been presented to him. News of his death caused profound sorrow. Prayers had been offered in both Protestant and Catholic churches for his recovery.
 Dr. McGlynn was first stricken with \ illness on November 16, at the rectory He was seized with severe cold and was compelled to seek his bed. Though he was obliged to break engagements to lecture no alarm was felt by his friends until the following Monday, when he suffered severe chill The first serious attack occurred November 26 day or two later there was con- sultation of physicians. It was an- that Dr. McGlynn was suffer- ing from chronic kidney disease. Early in December Dr. McGlynn suffered two of heart failure and his rela- tives were hurriedly summoned. He rallied and until Saturday night he ap- peared to be holding his own and grad- ualy regained strength. He was able to sit by his bedside for a few minutes each day, but was never able to leave his room.
 pr. McGlynn was sixty-two years of age last September. When he was stricken he was robust and of fine phy- sique, but he became greatly emaciated by his long illness.
