"TOM" OCHILTREE DEAD
AMERICAN BEAU BRUMMEL PASSES
AWAY AT HOT SPRINGS.
His Military and Official Career
Friend of Many Eminent Men-His
Long HIness-Other Obituary.

HOT SPRINGS, Va, Nov. 25.-Col.
Thomas p. Ochiltree died here at 1 o'clock
to-day, of heart trouble. He had been in a
sinking condition since yesterday morning,
and it is a surprise to his physician. DR..
F. w. Chaplin, as well as to others, that he
lived until to-day. He was conscious this
morning, but soon grew much worse, and
lost consciousness again. He died without
pain. Arrangements for his funeral will
be made by friends in New York.
Thomas p. Ochiltree was born in Texas
in 1897, the son of Judge William B. Ochil-
tree, of that State. At the age of seventeen
he entered John G. Walkers company of
Texas Rangers as a volunteer private. and
took part in the campaign of 1876 against
the Apache and Comanche Indians. He
fought in the Confederate army during the
civil, war, and was made a colonel on rec
ommendation of Longstreet. He entered
as a private, when Texas seeded, and at
the close of the war found himself one OF
Sheridan'S prisoners at Sailors Creek, not
far from A~ppomattox; When peace was
shall of Texas by President Grant, and dis
charged the responsible duties of his office
with great acceptance. He was afterwards
a commissioner OF emigration to Europe
for Texas, and as such made several visits
to Europe, where his acquaintance were
both numerous and distinguished. 1t is
related that on one of his visits to Europe
the authorities misconceived the status of
his position and accorded him the full
honors of a field marshal. He was elected
to Congress as an Independent in the Sew
enth Texas district, and became one of the
noted figures of the national capital. He
was the first native Texan to be elected
to Congress from hat State. Wearying
of congressional life. he removed TO New
York and divided his time between the
Hoffman House and Delmonico's. A writer
Of the period said of him: "Ochiltree's
reputation is that of the greatest liar in
America. As a matter of fact, he is q sin
gularly veraciouS man of excellent judg-
ment, true to his friends, with a faculty of
attaching men to him by the strongest ties
and ready to stand by any person in any
emergency. The friend of Grant, the coun-
selor OF CoEkling, the companion of b.
nanza Mackay, the adviser of Cyrus w.
Field, the chum of Nevada Jones, the pa
iron Of Steele Mackaye. the vis-a-vis of
Larry Jerome, Ochiltree has become one of
the characters of New York as much as
Beau ever was in London, with
the exception that he is ten thousand times
more of a man."
Since 1897 his health was generally very
bad, and he spent most of his time at vari-
Gus health resorts in an effort to hold off
the inevitable. Most of the time he was
confined to his room.

Other members of the commission spoke
in a similar strain. AS viewed from this
point the hearings will be proceeded with

mission was nothing more than an adj

SPEED INCREASES COST.

Railroad Luxury.

showed that a tract, which withstood
the pounding of heavy trains running

and in moral effect.
