called during the day to express their
sympathy. They were received il
the parlors by General Harrison,a
sisters and BROTHER, John Scott Harri-
son, who arrived during the afternoon.
Mrs. Harrison, however, was seen ~
only one or two Of her most intimate
friends. She has recovered, however.
as far as could be expected, from the
shock and severe nervous and mental
strain of the eight days watching at
the bedside of her husband. To friends
she spoke feelingly Of the messages Of
coincidence which poured into the
house all day, being deeply touched
by the many evidences Of love and Re.
speot shown her husband.
Mrs. Mary Harrison Mckee. General
Harrison's daughter, arrived at noon
from Saratoga with her husabnd and
was driven to the home of r. s. Nc
Kee, No. 1876 North Meridian street.
During the afternoon she visited the
Harrison home, where she remained
for some time and viewed her fathers
body. A telegram was received dur
ing the day from Carter H. Harrison.

was in semi comatoze condition, al
though he was at times able to recog-
nize those at his bedside At that
time he recognized and spoke to Mrs.
Newcomer, his aunt, who had just
reached the home
He also spoke to Mrs. Miller. the
words being very indistinct, however,
only, doctor and "My lung, being
understood.
Almost the last words he uttered
were addressed to his wife, of whom
he inquired shortly before he became
unconscious if the doctors were pres
ent.
One Of the most pathetic incidents
OF his illness occurred Teusday, before
he became unconscious. His little
daughter, Elizabeth, was brought into
the sick room for a few moments and
offered her father little pie which she
had made. General Harrison smiled
his recognition of the child and her
gift, but the effort to speak was too
much and he could do nothing more
to express his appreciation.
Today all efforts to arouse the
slowly dying man to consciousness
failed and he died without word of
recognition to any of the loving ones
who surrounded him.

NEWS AT WASHINGTON.
Official Action Will Be Taken by Presi.
dent Today.

Washington, March l3-Deep inter
est was exhibited in all of the execu-
tive departments throughout the dav
at the reports that came as to the con-
dltion OF ex-President Harrison. AS
office hours had closed for the day be-
fore the end came, the first official
action regarding the death will be de-
ferred until tomorrow when, following
rrecedents, President Mckinley will
issue his proclamation to the people
Notifying them Of General Harrison s
death, and setting out in becoming
terms his virtues and characteristics.
He also will order salutes to be fred
at the various army posts the day Of
the funeral and on shisboard when
the news is received.
The secretary Of war and the secre-
taly of the navy will send out special
notices to soldiers and sailors convey
ing the presidents directions in this
matter. Little more can be done off
cially, as the act Of March 3. 1898.
especially forbids the draping of public
buildings in mourning or the closing
OF the executive departments on the
occasion Of the death of an ex-official.
1t is curious fact that two orders is
sued by President Harrison himself
probably brought about the enactment
of this law.
January 18, 1898, the president was
asked to issue an order announcing
the death of exPresldent Hayes, clos
ing the departments on the day of the
funeral ann ordering all public build
ings to be draped in mourning. AL
most before this period of mourning
had expired, ex-Secretary Blaine died
and another funeral proclamation is
sued from the white house. The long
continuation of the exhibitions Of
was too much for congress,
which promptly fpassed the act above
referred to, prohibiting mourning dis
play and the closing Of the depart
ments on the occasion of the death of
IN ex-official.

positiveness st the war department

Ex-PREs1DENT's TRIBUTE.
Cleveland Expresses Himself on Death Of
Harrison.

Princeton, N. j., March 13-Former
President Cleveland tonight spoke as
follows concerning the death of former
President Harrison:
II am exceedingly moved by the sad
intelligence of Mr.. Harrison's death.
Notwithstanding the late discouraging
reports of his condition, I hoped his
life might yet be spared. Not one of
his countrymen should for moment
fail to realize the services which have
been performed in their behalf by the
distinguished dead. In high public
Office he was guided by patriotism and
devotion to duty, often at the sacrifice
OF temporary popularity, and in pri-
vate station his influence and example
We're always in the direction of de-
cency and good citizenship.
Such career and the incidents re-
lated to it should leave deep and
useful impression on every section of
our national life.''

TWO YOUNG GIRLS
 BURNED TO DEATH
Misses'Annie and Bessie Wilkes Meet Horrible Death at
 PrattviIIe

Prattville, February 20-(Special. )-Last night at 10 o'clock there was witnessed one of the greatest tragedies in the his- tory of Prattvilie. The house of Mrs. Wilkes, the mother of W. H. Wilkes, conductor of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad at this place. was destroyed by fire and Misses Bessie and Alice Wilkes perished in the flames,
 The origin of the fire Is unknown, but as 1t caught from the front veranda, it has all the appearances of being the work of an incendiary. Judging from the evil dence in shape of the location of the bod les of the girls after the fire has died down, they had started for the door to leave their room but the smoke suffoca- ted them. and they did not reach the outside their charred remains being found, one under the place where the room they were in and the other under the Hall. into which the room opened As the wind was blowing a gale from the northwest, the flames spread in a few minutes to the house of Conductor w. H. wilkes on the south side of Mrs. Wilkes, and in less than one hour this house, too, with all its contents. were consumed in the mad flames.
