German, United States senator from
Maryland, died suddenly at his resi-
dence in this city at 9:05 o'clock Mon
day morning. While Senator German
had been Ill for many months, he a
shown some improvement lately. Heart
trouble was the immediate cause OF
death.
Senator Germans illness extended
over five months. He had not left his
house since January 16. He suffered,
in addition to his heart affection, with
more or less stomach trouble. A week
ago last Saturday he was seized with a
heart attack and it was thought then
that he could not survive, but he raj
lied and seemed to get much better.
When the final attack seized him,
Monday morning, it was short and
sharp, and the senator was dead before
the physicians, who were Immediately
summoned, arrived.
Senator Germans Career.
Arthur Pue German was born in
Howard county, Maryland, March IL,
1889. So poor were his parents that
they did not even own the few acres
which they titled. His education was
begun in the country school, and was
continued after he became page in the
senate by personal reading and study.
For IL years from the date of his
appointment as page in the senate,
German was connected in an office
holding capacity with that body. In
1866 he was postmaster of the senate,
and was removed, and was Immediate
ly appointed collector of internal rev
enue for the Fifth district of Maryland.
This office he held for three years,
when he was removed by President
Grant, going home to Howard county,
Maryland, to run for the state legis.
lature. He was elected, and reelected
to the lower and later the upper
houses of the Maryland legislature,
serving in that body for 81 years.
He allied himself by marriage with
Henry Gassaway Davis, the multi
millionaire coal and railroad proprie-
tor of West Virginia, became associ'
ated financially with Stephen B. Elk
ms, son-in-law of Davis, and otherwise
built up the politico-financial structure
which was his strength.
He built a handsome residence and
bought a large tract of land at Laurel
in Howard county, and reared a large
family of daughters and one SON
He was chosen United States senator
first in 1880 and served until 1899,
when an anti-machine revolt in his
state sent him home. He bided his
time, and four years later returned te
the senate.
