Mr.. Gonzales Dead.
The End Came Mt / O'Clock Mon
day Afternoon-His Brave
Battle for Life Was
Lost.
Columbia Record, 10th.

Ut L CLOCK.
AS brave a battle for life as a
strong mind and superb physi
que could make has been fought
and lost. Several times since he
ing shot the spark of life seemed
about to be quenched, but the
wonderful vitality and the strong
will prevailed for the time against
death, and n large part of the
public, considering the favorable
symptoms, began to believe that
Mr.. Gonzales would finally pull
, through. But at no time have
the surgeons shared in this hope.
They have at times felt encourage
ed by the symptoms, but the in
dlcations have never been such as
to warrant them in holding any
confident hope of ultimate recov-
cry.
Last night at 1890 very uu-
favorable symptoms were noted.
DR.. Wylle, of New York, had
left the city for Rock Hill the
night previous. Last night he
was on his way to Durham, N. c.,
where he was to perform surgi-
cal operation on the child of Mr..
Duke, the tobacco king. A tele-
phonlc message caught him at
Charlotte and he returned at a.
m. In the meantime DR.. j. w.
Babcock had been called IN cons
suItation with the surgeons. The
condition of the patient gradually
grew more unfavorable until 3.15
this morning, when all hope was
given up.
At Z a. m. this mopning all of
Mr.. Gonzales family in Columbia
who were not at the hospital were
summoned. Around the dying

sides :he surgeons and members
of the editorial staff of The State.
Mr.. Gonzales was unconscious
and all that anybody could do was
to await the end.
Tie waiting was not tor long.
Mr.. Gonzales was unconscious end
his soul passed away quietly,
peacefully and painlessly. Since
it was certain that death must
come it was relief to the sor-
rowing friends anal relatives 10
know that at last the soul had
been released from all bodily
pain. Their nerves have been
strung to the highest tension for
the past few days and their un-
ceasing vigil at the bedside has
tried their phys;csl strength.
The following Is the official an
nouncement ol the cause Of death: !:
"The immediate cause of the
death of Mr.. Gonzales was peril
tonitis. The injection was caused
by the septic poisoning from the
wound in the liver. During the
morning, as last resort, an ia
lection of fol maldehyde was given
in the hope of checking the in
roads of peritonitls. Nothing could
be done and at one O'Clock Mr..
Gonzales died."
He did nota at any time after the
shooting expect 10 recover, bot
said be would make the best fight
for his life that he coHld.

! funeral tomorrow afternoon at

FRUITS AND FLOWERS.

High and grayelly soil Is the best for
fruit trees.
Mildew Is the worst enemy of the
gooseberry. Pruning IL the best rem
edy.
Kosin and tallow in equal parts Is
an excellent covering for wounds In
fruit and other trees.
To cultivate among trees use a Whit
fictree as short as the horse can walk
with Turn the hooks In.
The weeds must be kept down around
the small fruit trees and vines If the
fruit Is to mature and rpen rightly.
Look over the orchard occasionally
to see that no suckers are growing from
the roots OF the trees to sap the strength
from the main tree.
Plants In windows should be turned
once or twice a week. A fine form.
which is half the beauty of a plant,
cannot be attained without this.
Wood ashes not only help to keep
borers from the roots of trees but the
trees make a healthier and more vigor-
Gus growth and bear much sounder
fruit when they are used
