Apoplexy Follows a Recent Strolto of PnrnlysU with Fatal Kflcct. Vlrglnlus Dabney, fifty-eight jears old, of 313 East Seventeenth street, n deputy collector for the port of New York, was taken with a stroke of opo plexy at tho Eighteenth street station of the Third Avenue Elevated llnllroad about 9 15 o'clock this morning and died before medical assistance could be procured. Pii body was taken to his home. Mr. Dabney was arpolnted to tho office of Deputy Collector Nov. 17 last by Col lector Kllbreth. He nnu one of the most popuWr men In the customs nerltc, nnd the liens of his death was a bhock to the Collector and all connected with the Department. A short time ago Mr. Dabney, who was a very large, robust man. was stricken with purnlsl8. When he re covered one of his legs was left badly affected. Otherwise ho seemed to be ferfectly well und was at the CUBtom louse regularlj. He left IiIh home us UBUal about 9 o'clock this morning, accompanied by one of his sons. When he reached the station ho complained of feeling badly, but concluded to continue on his way don mown. Hlie started to board a train, but as he reached the platform he suddenly reeled and fell Into his son's urms With the assistance of several people he was carried Into tho waiting-room of tho station, where he died In n few seconds. An "Kenlng World" reporter was the tlrst to carry the" news to Collector Kll breth. He was visibly affected, and said: " I scarcely know how to express my self. Mr. Dabney was one of the ablest' men In the Department, and the news Is n sad shock I don't know that I ever i knew a kinder-hearted and more popu lar official. " When the applications for his posl I tlon were made I received more than a hundred private letters In Mr. Dabney's favor, and all spoke of him In the high est praise. He was the soul of honor, and I am sure every one who knew him ' will learn of his death with regret. "Not long ago he wob 111, but of late he has been attending to his duties, and never complained of feeling ill. I can not express my sorrow In words " Detoic he was appointed Deputy Col lector, Mr. Dabney was Interested In Journalism, and was the author of nu merous clever and witty stories. He leaves a widow and several children. VIGILANT SPOKEN. Bf nlilnc Gretft Time on tier Voj nse to Scotland TheTjlteamer Blavonia, of the Nor wegian line, which arrived at the bar early this morning , reports having spoken Vigilant at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon off Montauk. The (Iyer was carrying every bit of her cruising rig and Increasing the gap betwen her and this coast at the rate of between ten and twelve knots an hour. The tank steamer Northern Light was the first vessel to speak the yacht at sea, having passed her at 8 30 o'clock csterday morning off Bhlnnecock. She was then reeling oft twelve knots per hour. If It -vere possible for Vigilant to Biistaln that speed all the way across there would be a new e.itllng record when the jacht reached Scotland. Although yesterday was Bpent by n force of nearly two hundred men trying to llnlih up the details of preparing the steam yacht Atalantu for sea, she will be unable to proceed to-day, as It was hoped the would. She will start on her cruise to the eastward to-morrow, probably In the morning. Howard Gould, Mr. Carter, Capt Hank Haff and 8ailmaker Wilson will sail In her. ! After being out of commission for I four years, Atalanta will fly the Gould colors again In a much changed and ! more beautiful shnpo thnt formerly. 1 Her black sides have been scraped clean I to the plating and repainted the fash- t lonahle white with guid stripe She has been thoroughly ovehauled below the waterllne and has a biund new t manganese bronze screw. Her engines i have been readjusted nnd slicked up . Aloft she carries bright new spurs from 1 masts and topmasts to flagstaff on the taffrall. Her Joiner work und uphols- . tery are rich with rcnewnl . Atalnnta's destination will be South- ' ampton, but she will probably find reg- t ular anchorage at Covw.4, where George .
