A few moments after the end came it was known all over Columbia. There is no apparent anger, no display of excitement but an unnatural quiet and 1t is noticeable throughout the city.
 This morning Dr. w. Gill Wylie, af- ter consulting with Doctors Guerry and Barren and members of the fam fly, decided to try the experiment of an intravenous injection of formaldehyde. At nine o'clock the injection was made in the arm. It was known that favor able results in arrest of the periton- itis, if they should follow at all, would be at once manifest. But there was no improvement.
 As time passed the patients respira- ton grew weaker and evidence of ap- preaching death became plainer. Just before the end, the surgeons by re- quest. resorted to a second injection. There was a momentary strengthening of the pulse but almost before the in- jection had been completed Gonzales was dead.
 An autopsy on the body was held by pr. A. B. Knowlton. county physician this afternoon. Dr. Legrand Guerry and James Mcintosh, who attended Gonzales, assisted. It is understood that the finding of the autopsy will be that the direct cause of death was sep sis. due to a sloughing of the large bowel at the place oi injury to that or gan.
