A. Frances hurried homeward.
choking and sick with her sorrow,
che found herself caught In the whirls
and eddIcs of great crowd and borne
along heiplessly past her street. Men
carried torches and were cheering
themselves hoarse, while horns added
their din to the confusion. Upon

not Virginian, and the hour awoke
no response within his heart. 1mpul-
sively, and forgetting, she stretched
her hands upward, but memory re-
turned and checked the words that
rose to her lips. Only an inarticnlatc
cry burst from them, n cry low and
half smothercd in the roar Of voices.

DEATH COL. MoREHEAD
Son of Late Gov. MOrehead Dies
Suddenly In Charlotte.

Suddenly In Charlotte.
The Charlotte News of Thurs
day contains the following &C.
count of the death of Col. Jno. L.
Morehead, son of the late Gov.
Morehead, and well-known in
this section, being at one time
an owner Of large stock in the
A. & N. G. r. R., and director
of that company:
The death of Col. Morehead
was a great shock to Charlotte.
Few of those whose business
takes them on the streets who
did not remember seeing him yes
terday, apparently in the best
of health and to all appearances
with many years of life ahead of
him. Last night at 7:3O o'clock
he walked into the Buford hotel
aud took his seat on the sofa that
sits in the rear portion of the
botel lobby. He was smoking and
as soon as he Caught sight Of
Col. 81. Q. Eccles, ne called to
MIN to sit down and chat for
few minutes. The conversation
was, for the most part, Of local
interest ard was continued until
8 o'clock. There was a little hitch
ald for few moments nothing
was said. Col. E ;cles was in the
act of asking Col. Morehead
question, when he noticed that
his head fell to one side and that
he leaned heavily on his shOul-
der. Thinking he had tainted,
Col. Eccles called to him and
asked if he could assist him
There was no response. AS
quickly as possible a physician
was sent for, but before he ar
rived the last spark OF life had
departed and the mantle OF death
shrouded the robust figure.
While it is not known what
caused death, it is generally
thought that heart disease was
the trouble. Col. Morehead had
just returned from New York
where, it is learned, he was in
formed of the weakness OF that
organ, by a well known expert.
Deceased was twice married.
His first wife was Miss Sarah
Phifer, a daughter OF the late W.
E. Phifer Of Charlotte. His
second wife, who survives him,
was Miss Louise Brantley, a
daughter of Rev. DR.. Brantley,
noted Baptist divine.
Mr.. John M. Morehead of
Spray, and Mrs. S. B. Jones.
both children by the first union,
are the only surviving children
of the deceased.
