CAUSE OF THE SENATOR'S DEATH.
AFFECTION OF THE HEART, BROUGHT on
BY ovERwoRK AND GRIEF.

Manchester, Mass, Aug. Ex-senator McMH-
Ian was in his usual good health UP 10 yester-
day afternoon. For several years, however
he had suffered from a heart aftecuon' prlhcl-
pally Il weakness brought on by overwork ana
had guarded himself against it, but the extra
responsibilities in the Senate thrown upon him
last winter together with the shock of losing a
brother son and grandson within one year are
believed to have aggravated his trouble
He was at the Essex County Club yesterday
afternoon, and while playing golf was obliged TO
pass over a small hill. which so affected his
breathing that he obliged to stop, and,
being overcome by slight fatntness, he sent for
a stmu!ant, which revived him and the attack
passed away He went home without finishing
the game and at dinner time was jovial and
light hearted He remained up late in the even
ing talking and joking with the family, but at
midnight suffered severe i'll turn, being pressed
for breath and experiencing considerable pain.
A physician was called, who administered the
usual heart tonics, which had the desired effect,
and the patient rested comfortably until .
o'clock, when another attack came on, more
severe than the first. The physician applied by
hypodermic injections the most powerful heart
stimulants known to medical science, but the
patient was evidently beyond all earthly aid.
The drug had effect whatevnr, and he con-
minutes before his death. Another physician
was sent for after the second attack, but did
not arrive until just after the Senator had
passed away. There were around the deathbed
Mrs. Mcmillan. their daughter Amy and a
granddaughter. Miss Jarvis.
Senator Mcmillan had been a summer resident
OF Manchester for seven years, he having pur-
chased the old Towne estate at Eagle Head,
which he had improved and beautified in many
ways, until IL is now one of the finest estates
on the north shore
The funeral arrangements have not been per
fected, but the services will take place at the
