MRS. MCPHERSON DEAD.
Wife of the Former Senator
Succumbs to Pneumonia
in New York.

Mrs. John r. Mcpherson, widow OF
former United States Senator from New
Jersey, died early yesterday at No. 3Sl
Lexington avenue, New York, from pneu-
monia. the malady that carried off her
only son, Gregory, more than four years
ago Her son-in-law and daughter, DR..
and Mrs. Joseph Muir, who were re-
Gently reconciled to her after a period of
estrangement which followed their mar
riage, will learn of her death on disem-
barking from the Campania at Liverpool
today.
Mrs. Mcpherson leaves fortune esti-
mated at about $5000,000, which her hus-
band accumulated, and she had no chill
dren but Mrs. Muir. AT the time of her
death Mrs. Mcpherson was fifty-six years
old, and had lately been in rather poor
health, having made a trip South in the
winter in order to recuperate her
strength. Her death was unexpected, her
illness lasting only three days.
She had for three months been staying
at the home of Mrs. Bessie Stewart, who
is the daughter of United States Senator
Stewart, of Nevada. and has been di-
vorced, in the Central Apartment House,
No. 331 Lexington avenue. Mrs. Stewart,
who accompanied Mrs. Mcpherson on her
recent Southern trip, left the latter in
her home and went abroad about month
ago. She will return today, arriving on
the steamship st. Louis, to find that her
guest has died in her absence.
DR.. and Mrs. Joseph Muir, who had
been staying at the Stewart home with
Mrs. Mcpherson for a few days, sailed
last Saturday on the Campania, to be
abroad about three months Mrs. Nc
Pherson contracted a cold three days
later. She was alone in the apartments
with her maid and Mrs. Stewards serv-
ants. The cold developed rapidly into
the grip, and Dr. e. G. Janeway and
DR.. Il. C. Janeway, his son, were called
in
Pneumonia succeeded the grip and Mrs.
Mcpherson died at five O'Clock yesterday
morning. Robert S. Green, of New Jer-
sey; Arthur Johns, of No. 80 Broad street,
and other friends were with her
all through the night until her death.
Immediately after it a cable despatch
was sent to Liverpool, to be delivered to
DR.. and Mrs. Muir on their arrival there.
The body was removed to an undertake
nue., last night, and embalmed. 1t will
there await the return of the Muirs, who
are expected to arrive a week from next
Wednesday. The body will be cremated.
Mrs. Mcpherson was Miss Edla Jane
Gregory. She was prominent in Wash
ington society while her husband, who
died in 1897, was in the Senate.
There was somewhat of sensation in
the summer of 1898 when her daughter,
Edla Coleman Mcpherson, left the Wall
dorf-Astoria on the evening of July B.
and went to Hoboken with DR.. Muir, to
be married there by Justice of the Peace
Schlitting.
Mrs. Mcpherson did not regard the
bridegroom with favor. She added to the
excitement by declaring that her daugh-
ter had been hypnotized by the physi-
clan, and the daughter threatened to sue
her mother for libel. They were recon
ciled some months ago, and Mrs. Muir
will now in all probability come into
large fortune.

Il can show you block that has a
saloon in every house., interposed Meyer
THAT may be- responded Young, .'but
it does not apply to your case. There are
enough saloons in Hoboken.''
The Councilmen gasped at this dec1ara-
ton and promised to look into the matter
when they had recovered.

WORK ON new SEWER
Grand Street Cars Will Run
Through Lafayette for
a Time.

Active work was begun on the big six
foot sewer this morning which is to ex-
tend along Grand street from Fairmount
avenue, and connect with the old Mill
Creek, block away. AS a result, the
Bayonne and Newark car lines are run
through Lafayette.
This sewer is doubtless the largest of
its kind in the city. Steel pipes six feet
in diameter and one-half inch in thick
ness are to be laid. These are to be
lined with concrete. The sewer begins
at Fairmount avenue and Clifton place
and intersects at Grand street. 1t will
afford relief to that section of the
Heights. Messrs. Van Keuren and Con-
molly are the contractors.
