had been great sufferer and has sew
eral times gone to the hospital for
treatment. being at one time relieved
to some extent by an operation. It
had been evident for some time to his
family and friends that he could not
live very much longer, but it was not
generally known in the city that there
was any immediate danger, and the
news this morning Of his death was
shock to the city, which he had scrv-
ed, as it will be to the State. for which
lie fought so gallantly. He died this
morning at 3 o'clock at his home, No.

being pursued.
After the reading OF the Journal and
