MR.. HOUGHTON'S LAST ILLNESS

Since the cable ON March flash
ed from Naples the news of the
death of j. @. Houghton, no particu-
lars of the sudden change have been
made public, although the many in
quiries that have been made show,
not morbid curiosity, but the genu-
inc interest of so many of his former
friends, both at Montpelier and else
where.
During the first three days after
sailing from Boston, Mr.. Houghton
was pretty well and enjoyed the trip.
After that date he was taken with
what was pronounced nervous bill
ious fever and during the rest of the
trip he did not leave his cabin. After
they reached Naples he walked from
the boat to carriage and they found
pleasant rooms at hotel. There they
stayed until the morning of Mr..
Houghton's death. He was at that
time talking with his travelling com
panion, ]. T. Phelps of Boston. With
out moments warning his head fell
upon his breast aud he expired in
stantly.
The hotel people, and the United
States Consul, Byington, in fact every
one, did all in their power to assis
the party. The voyage from Maple
to Boston was made without incident
