TABLE OF PERCENTAGES.


MORRISTOWN, n. j.. May %
General Fitz John Porter died yesterday.
He was taken suddenly worse Monday
morning but immediate collapse was not
looked for until midnight, when it was
seen that he could not long survive. Both
his sons and his physician were with him
when he died. His daughter did not ar.
rive until later. Aside from his military
and civic record and the various promo.
tions for gallant conduct which he re.
ceived during his career as a soldier and
which brought General Porter before the
public, the most prominent incident Of
his life was his dismissal from the army
and the long and bitter fight which he
waged for restoration.

ward S. Phillips, the priest who came to
New York from Hazleton, Pa, in March
to intercede with ]. Pierpont Morgan in
behalf of the coal miners who were
threatening to strike, has been found
dead in a room in little rear tenement
at 73O Ninth avenue. He had been dead
at least a week. In the same room in
which the decomposed body was found a
man who is now held on suspicion in the
West Forty street police station
has been quietly living-eating, sleeping
and washing his clothes. The story which
he tells, at the most a wildly rambling
one, does not explain away the belief,
which the circumstances of the case at
once produce, that the dead priest has
been murdered.
