Israel Durham dies suddsnIx.

Israel w. Durham, Pennsylvania
state senator from the Second Phila.
delphia district and former Republican
leader of Philadelphia, died at his cot.
tage, 211 Pacific avenue, Atlantic City.
Death was due to Bright's disease.
The end came in an uraemic con-
vulsion, and it is thought that Mr..
Durham's death was indirectly due to
the intense heat, of which he had com.
planned recently.
Shortly after talking over the tede-
phone with friends in Philadelphia
Mr.. Durham uttered low moan. his
face paled and he tried to stagger to
his feet. In an instant Mrs. Johnson
his sister, was at his side. She put
her arms around her brother and cried
out to him to speak. Durham tried
to say something, but his frame shook,
with what DR.. Walter A. Hickman
who was summoned several moments
later, said was a uraemic convulsion
With his sister supporting him, Sena
tor Durham died without uttering a
single word.
Mr.. Durham was fifty-four years old
and a bachelor. He was born in Phil
adelphia.
