he said a word to indicate that he was
in pain. Mrs. Tanner and her sister
darkened the windows and withdleV to
the adjoining room to let him rest. In
Il few minutes they were attracted by
his labored breathing and found him
moving as if in slight nervous convul-
sions. He seemed to be soundly asleep,
and Mrs. Tanner thought he might be
troubled with nightmare. When groans,
as of pain, followed, she applied wet tow
els to his head.
Rapid increase in the paroXysms then
frightened Mrs. Tanner. She ran to the
telephone, leaving her sister with ME-.
Tanner, and called DR.. ]. n. Dixon, the
attending physician. The doctor answer
ed his telephone in person and came on
a run, but the former Governor was dead
before he reached the room.
General belief is that death was due to
rheumatism of the heart, although DR..
Dixon says in carefully prepared state
ment that he cannot state the exact cause
and denies that the patient had any or
ganic heart trouble.
His Public Career.
For fifteen years John r. Tanner had
been a political figure of State reputa-
ton. He was for thirty years an Office
holder. His public career terminated with
the expiration of his term of office as
Governor ON Jan. IA, 1901.
Mr.. Tanner was born in Warwick
County, Indiana, April 4, 1914, and was
therefore only a little more than fifty
seven years of age. His father was a
farmer, who died in a Confederate prison
while a soldier OF the Union. Mr.. Tan
ner followed his father into the army and
served as a private until the close of
the war.
After the war he returned to Clay
County Illinois, where his father had
lived at the beginning of the war. He
began life again as farmer. In 1870
he had obtained a foothold in politics
and was elected sheriff.
This was the beginning of successful
political career. After his term as sher
iff expired he was elected, in 1872, Cir
cult Clerk of Clay County. -Four years
later he was elected to the State Senate.
Before the four years for which he had
been elected Senator had expired he was
appointed, in 1888, United States Mar
shall for the Southern District of Illinois.
In 1886 he was nominated for State
Treasurer and was elected. He was
elected Governor in 1896.

AFTER THE GILMAN MILLIONS.
Half Brother of Dead Tea Merchant
Wants to Administer Estate.
brooklyn Eagle.)


Theophilus Gilman has entered upon
the second great fight of his life for a
fortune. Nearly twenty-five years ago
he lost his first chance TO become a
millionaire and now he has seized with
long pent-up energy his second. But
more than the desire of riches ami
mates this man of disappointed hopes.
He seeks revenge as eagerly as wealth.
His story has elements of the tragic
in it, and unfolds curious drama Of
greed, hatred and all the other pas
sions they call up in mems breasts
Theophilus Gilman is a half brother of
Millionaire George Francis Gilman, the
tea merchant of Bridgeport, Conn, who
died last week leaving an enormous
fortune behind and no evidence of a
will. The half brothers entertained a
mutual deadly hatred. born in a bitter
dispute over money matters long ago.
Back in the '70s, Nathaniel Gilman,
the father of both men, died, leaving
an estate of upward OF 81 OO0. 600
George Francis was the son Of his first
wife and Theophilus, Fisher and
Charles and a daughter were the issue
of the second marriage George Fran
els was one of the executors of the es-
tate and in the course of its settlement
his half brother accused him of rob
bling them of their patrimony- The hti-
cation was noteworthy in its day, many
of the then leaders of the New York
bar figuring in the contest
The feud over the Gilman will case
eliminated on Feb. s, 1877, in a sen
sational fight on Broadway in front of
the Equitable Life Assurance building
at O'Clock in the afternoon. There
had been a reference hearing in Judge
FulIerton's office, and the three half
brothers waited in the lower hallway
for George to come down. He had with
him a private detective. hired to fol-
low him about. because he feared as
sassination. Fisher and Charles Gill
man were actively engaged in the row
and Theophilus watched the proceed
ings. The two half brothers attacked
the cab that George had entered and
had a lively fight with the driver. At
Cortlandt street the police arrested
everybody concerned and took them to
the tombs.
After this trouble George Francis Gill
man hated his half brother more than
ever. He also succeeded in retaining
enough of his fathers fortune TO start
him on his way TO his future millions
His estate is now said to amount TO
$50. 600. 600. The dead millionaire'S body
was scarcely laid away in the ground
when Theophilus Gilman. who had
been living of late in Washington,
fastened on here and demanded to be
appointed administrator OF the estate.
His application was made Saturday in
New York county. But other people
were also on as sharp lookout for the
millionaire's death and the same day
Edward l. Norton of 256 West Sew
entyfourth street, Manhattan, applied
for letters of administration in both
the New York and Connecticut courts
