GEN. H. C. WORTnINGTON DIES
LAST LINCOLN PALLBEARER
PASSES AWAY AT HOSPITAL.
Filled Long and Distinguished Ca
reer-Was Born in Cumberland,
Md, in 1928.

Gen. Henry c. Worthington, the sur
viving pallbearer at the funeral of
President Lincoln, died at the Garfield
Hospital this afternoon at 1920 o'clock.
Death came peacefully and the cause is
ascribed by the physicians as cerebral
hemorrhage. Robert Mailer. a nephew,
was at the bedside when death came.
No arrangements have been made for
the funeral.
They will probably be completed this
afternoon after Representative Pearre of
Maryland. another nephew of the de-
ceased, is consulted.
About three weeks ago Gen. Worth
inston was stricken while on Pennsyl-
vania avenue and was removed to his
home on 18th street northwest. Later he
was taken to the Garfield Hospital His
condition gradually became worse. He
has been lying at the point of death for
some days.
Distinguished Colonial Family.
Gen Wcrthington was born in Cumber
land. Md, in 1873. His father came of a
distinguished colonial family, and while
lie held slaves, was an anti-savery advo-
cate. Henry Clay was often his guest on
his way from Kentucky to Washington
and when a son came to the family he
was named after the bluegrass statesman.
When Mr.. Clay, in later years, visited
the Worthington home he always took
great interest in his namesake. A
daughter OF the Worthington family be-
came the mother of Representative
George Pearre of Cumberland.
Early in life Judge Worthington took
up the study of law. Later he went to
California to enter the practice of his
profession. At that time the greater pOr-
ton of the prominent men of the coast
were southern sympathizers. and Judge
Worthington with his anti-slavery views
was soon challenged to a duel
He engaged in seven of these affairs,
six proving fatal.
His Varied Career.
He was successfully member of the
California legislature, head of vigilance
committee. delegate in Congress from
Nevada, collector of the port of Charles
ton. S. c.. minister to Uruguay, judge of
United States court and major general
of militia.
He was also candidate for the United
States Senate at one time in Nebraska
and came within two votes of an election.
He always entertained high regard
for President Lincoln and was the con-
fidant of the executive on many &C.
casions He also enjoyed the friendship
of Gen. Grant and other notable men OF
the country.

last must remain a guest of Warden Nc
Kee pending his trial. Justice Wright to-
day denied the application of the prisoner
to be released on bail.
The order overruling the motion was
made however. without prejudice. This
means that Collier is not precluded from
applying to some other justice, who has
yet to serve his vacation term. to be
released .from custody. provided he can
present evidence to Offset the charge in
the Indictment
After Attorney Henry r. Woodland of
counsel for the prisoner had read the
latter's- application for release and his
affidavit in which lie declared that he
compensate his attorneys unless given his
liberty, Justice Wright asked to hear
from counsel for the government.
United States Attorney Baker opposed
the application strenuously. He urged
that as the man was not entitled to bail
as matter of right, but only by the
exercise of the courts discretion after
hearing evidence looking to a palliation
of the charge, he should not be set at
liberty. The reasons assigned by the pris-

Attorney Woodlands Contention.
Mr.. Woodland in reply urged that the
question of interest to the government
in the matter was the securing of the
attendance of the man when called for
trial. He assured the court that there
could be no doub: OF this result being at

penalty of the bond at any figure the
court might name
Justice Wright sustained the contention
of the United States attorney and declared
that some evidence ought to have been
produced tending to show that the prison.

degree murder. He referred to the two
instances in which he had previously ad
mitted to bail persons charged with capi-
tai offenses. and declared that in both
cases his Judgment had been vindicated
by the verdicts of the juries, which ac-
quilted both prisoners.

be a large entertainment room with
adjoining kitchen and other rooms.
The whole, said Mr.. Tracy, would
make a complete. and well equipped
church and he estimated could be
built for 100000. of brick, with slate
roof. granite trimmings, stained glass
windows and hardwood floors. This
estimate did not include plumbing,
lighting and the organ. Mr.. Tracy
said he believed the lot and church
leaving a fund of $4,000 on hand, and
three OF the trustees were in favor OF
the plan.
A motion was offered and seconded
that the selection of a site on Wash
ington street be approved and the trus-
tees be authorized to purchase one
of the offered pieces of property.
Thomas Potter, one Of the trustees,
expressed disapproval OF the Wash
ington street proposition, and thought
that not more than $4,000 ought to
be expended by the church in provid-
ing a new edifice. He suggested that
the Carroll lot ON the corner of Nc
Kinley avenue and Otto street ought
to be looked into or some other loca-
ton in fine Otis street neighborhood.
NJ A. Barber was also opposed to
any Washington street location and
advised consideration Of the Austin
lot on Church street. Others TO speak
upon the subject were III. d. Rallion,
DIR. l.. E. Walker, Francis A Pike and
several of the women of the church.
AS they didd not seem prepared to
vote. a motion to adjourn was offered
and passed without any action being

The big fuzzy tail of the cat was what
attracted the attention OF the two men
in the dim light, and they began
throwing stones at it, succeeding in
giving it an ugly blow on the side of
the head before the pussy got out of
reach by running down afsewer man.

The supposed coon stirred up quite
an arugument which aroused the Cap

one of the men when the other had
discovered the cat. Don't you sup

spin" But the policeman didn't ap-
pear and the two young fellows went
