DEATH CAME SUDDENLY.

William L. Strong, Last Mayor of the Old
City of New York, Passes Away.
New YORK, Nov. civilian L.
Strong, the last mayor of the old city
Of New York, died suddenly shortly
after midnight at his residence in this
city.
The illness of Mr.. Strong had been
kept from his political friends. 1t was
known among his business associates in
the wholesale dry goods district, but
no one suspected that his condition
was alarming. Mr.. Strong had not
been at his place of business for several
days.
MIR. Strong took an active part in the
present campaign and it is said that
his political labors, combined with his
attempts to retain supervision over his
business affairs in the face Of his i'm
paired health, brought about the ILL.,
ness that resulted in his death.
