SHERIDAN WILL BE BURIED TO-MORROW Funeral Service to Be Conducted at Church of Holy Name at 9 A.M. SICK FOR ELEVEN WEEKS. Member of House of Delegates Combine Succumbs to Cirrhosis of the Liver and' Tuberculosis. JOHN A. (KID) SHERIDAN, Who will be buried thla morning. The funeral of John A. (Kid) Sheridan will take place from the Church of the Holy Name, No. 20U East Grand avenue. tomorrow morning at' 10 o'clock, the Rev erend Father Tallon officiating. Sheridan died at the Jefferson Hospital, Jefferson avenue and Gamble street, at C o'clock yesterday morning of a complica tion of diseases. He had been 111 for eleven weeks and had been in the hospital four weeks. Doc tor Waldo Brlggs, who attended him, found him suffering from cirrhosis of the liver and tuberculosis. He had been unconscious for fifteen hours before his death, but as the end ap proached rallied sufficiently to recognize members of his family who stood about his couch. Sheridan -Is survived by his father, An drew Sheridan, who has been a member of the Fire Department for thirty years and lives at No. 4143 Pleasant street; his moth er, two sisters and a brother. All were with him at the time of his death. He was 42 years old. Sheridan served In the House of Dele gates in 1909-1901. He ran against William Vogel for the office In the Fourth Ward and in a contest was seated by the House over Vogel. It was this House In which the famous combine of nineteen members, who have beenTndlctcd through the efforts of Cir cuit Attorney Folk, organized. Indict ments for perjury and bribery In connec tion with tho Suburban deal and bribery in connection with the city lighting deal were returned against the members. Sher idan was indicted with his fellow-members of the alleged combine. Previous to his Indictment, Sheridan had sued the city for salary which be claimed as a member of the House. The City Auditor refused to pay, holding that It was not clear to htm that Sheridan had been legally elected. The case being appealed, the Supreme Court handed down a deci sion agreeing with tho views of tho Audi tor. This onlnlon was the basis of Sheridan's defense, he and bis friends claiming that,' according to the court's ruling, he could not commit the offense, if he was not a member of the House. The case went to trial in the Criminal Division of the Circuit Court, and despite the line of defense, he was found guilty and the Jury fixed the punishment at four years in the penitentiary. Four oth ers of the alleged combine received like sentences at the same term. An appeal being had, the case was reversed and re manded. At ths last calling of, the city lighting bill, case Sheridan was too ill to appear ena trie-case was conunueo. When it became known that his cose was hopeless, an effort was made bv the friends of Sheridan to reach Circuit At torney Folk and ask that the cases against him be noUe proscquied that he mlrht die rrea from ths law's claims. Mr. Folk could not be reached,' being out of tne city, ana tney ranea. Edward Butler was Sheridan's bonds man In the amount of 0,000. 1 bssssssssISbsssssssssssbI asas-as-ft.v-S'JB K-'i &'l' i-.l S'i'yHBSSSSSSSSSSSM BSSSSSSsMSBSBSSSSSSSSSsI ' sssssssssssssssf'WBlsK'fBsssssst'v'4 dassslJBBSsssi ssssB ;"'Ti$ i-!ssssi SBBBBBBBBBKaplllsBJMKSSBBwSBBBBBp ' BlsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssvP aissi 1 ssssssVJtlsssssssl BBBBBBmiSBBBBBBb1 BBBBBS7'tjS!&aBBBBBBBl assssVieRSsssSsySsssssssssl 1 assss3K'sKife3sssssssssl ' . a BBSIBBjJBBBBKjrjfcfEEaasi The above gives you a correct idea of the outline of the MAJESTIC COMBINA TION COAL AND GAS RANGE, but nothing short of the Range itself can convey an adequate conception of its. completeness, compactness and beauty.
