JOHN II. THOMAS DEAD.
Prominent Democratic Leader Succumbs
to an Attack of ApopIexy.

Springfield, o., Jan. 4.-Hon. John
II. Thomas one of the most notable fig
ures in Springfield's history, died sud
denly Wednesday afternoon. Deceased
was "a years of age last october.
Death was due to apoplexy. Mr..
Thomas arose from the table, left the
dining room and went into an adjoining
room. where he fell upon the floor. He
was dead before any one could reach his
side. His son, w. s. Thomas, had eaten
lunch and had started down town to
return to business. The sadness Of the
event is accentuated by the fact that
both Mrs. John II. Thomas, the wife,
and Mrs. w. S. Thomas, daughter-in-
law, were at the home of Mrs. Judge
Summers, a daughter, for lunch.
Deceased was the head of the Thomas
Manufacturing company, and was one
Of the city's pioneer manufacturers
BY some Mr.. Thomas was considered the
richest man in Springfield. His wealth
Is estimated at s1,500,000. He had held
many public offices of trust and respon-
sibility and was firm and unwavering in
doing what he considered right. In 1868
Mr.. Thomas received the nomination for
congress, and by his canvass reduced q
normal Republican majority from 5000
to 100. He was defeated for the United
States senate in a memorable contest
by Calvin S. Brice.
