BENZ. HARRISON
DIES PEACEFULLY
Surrounded by Friends
He Passed Away
Wednesday.

indianapolis, Mar. 13.-Generai Ben>
jamin Harrison died at 4:45 O'Clock this
afternoon without regaining conscious
ness. His death was quiet and painless,
there being gradual sinking until the
end came, which was marked by a sim
gle gasp for breath as life departed from
tho body of the great statesman. The
relatives, with a few exceptions, and
several of his old and tried frie nds, we're
at the former Presidents bedside when
he passed away.
From one who was present at the bed
side It Is learned that the allegations of
cruelty and injustice dealt out by Eng
land to the Beers in their struggle for
liberty had been subject for thought
in the mind OF General Harrison. In
his semi-consci. condition, when the
sentinels of discretion and propriety
had gone from their posts and the mind
OF the man was wandering, he begun TO
speak Of the Boers and their hopeless
struggle for national life.
His burial takes place next Sunday.
President Mckinley and other promi>
nent men will attend the funeral.
