DEATH OF DR.. HAMMOND.
Former Surgeon General OF the Army
Suddenly Expires of Heart Dis 81
ease at Washington.

Washington, Jan. 8.-1Sr. William A.
Hammond, formerly surgeon general of
the army, died at his residence in this
city Friday night from an attack OF
heart failure, brought on by hurriedly
ascending flight Of stairs.
[Dr. Hammond was Il years of age. He
was at one time considered quite wealthy.
though in recent years it is said he suffered
reverses. At the: time of his death he was
on the rolls of the United States army as a
brigadier general on the retired list In
1854 Dr. Hammond, while occupying the DO
sition of surgeon general, was tried by
zcourt-martlal as result &Of charges Of ir-
regularities in the award of liquor con-
tracts and was dismissed in August Of that
year. Fifteen years later, through the in
PREVENTION Of friends. who believed an In
justice had been done him, tn e president
restored him to the rolls Of the army as
surgeon general and brigadier general on
the retired list, after congress had by an
almost unanimous vote authorized a re-
view of the court-martiaI proceeding
