THE OLD SOLDIER
Who Died OF Heart DiSidSe
at the Logan House,
Thursday Evening Last. A
Resident of Union City.
Indiana.

The remains of the stranger who
died so suddenly, in the hall of the
Logan House, Thursday evening last,
were taken to Union City, Saturday
morning on the ll:05 train. His son
came Friday evening, and identified
the remains. He was poor, and un-
able to meet expenses, but was very
grateful for what was done by our
citizens. He said his fathers name
was William Henry, but that he en-
tered the army under his step
fathers name, as William Henry Ely.
His pension papers are therefore in
that name, and by that name he is
known at the Danville Soldiers Home.
Hence the mistake here, and the
failure to reach his friends at Union
City by telephone. He went by his
own name, William Henry, at that
city, and his family are known there
by that name-a wife and several
children.
He left home ten days before
and the first the family knew o.
his death, they saw a notice Frida!
afternoon in the city papers.
He had a very bad cold, and com
planned of his lungs hurting him, be
fore he started away. His busines
was selling jewelry and small article
he could carry in telescope
He got a pension of S24 a month
He was 81 years of age.
Messrs Kennedy Bros. prepare
the remains for burial, with grea
care, and the fine appearance of tn
deceased was a matter of frequer
comment. They also took thei
chances in getting their pay, whe
!. they had no guaranty that it woul
be made good.
The ladies of the Woman's Relic
Corps and of the Ladies' Aid Socie,
furnished beautiful rosesfor til

A. R. boys accompanied the remain

be heard! Ask her to forgive, and pray
for me, Armande." He paused, painting
for breath, and unable for a moment to
continue. There was a terrible and
.mournful silence in the room Suddenly
he regathered his wasting energies. "Hear

Weak and trembling as he was, he
made them assist him to re7enter the 9TH

Hugh Lamonte was suddenly sinking into
| a stupor. His eyes were almost closed.
Only faint, unintelligible murmurs broke
from his lips at times. He did not see
them approach. The cure and M. Merry
cast glances at each other. The marquis
comprehended them.
'You think he Is dying. then" he ask
ed. "Ah, save him, Gustave! We were
enemies once-he and l. Let him live,
that we may once more embrace one an
other!'
BE calm, my dear friend" entreated
the physician again, "and listen to the
truth. No power on earth can save him
now; he is sinking fast. But maintain
your energies; he may revive before
death, with the possession of his full rea-

Eagerly he leaned over the couch, with
his eyes fixed upon the sick mans face:
but he was not recognized. There was
no intelligence in that dying glance.
Hugh-or Henri, rather, awakened
from the dull stupor. But it was only
the sudden and itful flare of the expir-
ing flame of life. He lay, for an instant,
glancing about the apartment; then look
ing upwards, he encountered the regards
of the good cure, who stood by the couch
in silence.

said. 81 am dying-is it not so?"

The three ascended to the chamber
above, where lay the dying man. The
marquis started as he beheld him, stretch
ed out upon the couch, with his wild, un-
shorn and emaciated countenance, and
coarse, rough garments, which he had
not suffered to be removed, presenting q
spectacle SO wretched. The kind-hearted
old man could scarcely refrain from she'd
