lied at 1:00 this afternoon. m
The end came peacefully and quietly f4
while the general lay unconsious, our
rounded by all the members of his family U
mccept Thomas Ewing Oherman, who is at
o on the ocean on his way to this tl
i ntry. There was a slight quiver of
he muscles of the face. The old soldier a
ceased to breath and all was over. Al- e
though all hope had been abandoned for ti
honrs,the shock was great to the mourning v
friends who were at the bedside and for c
many minutes no one left the room. v
They hung over the death bed weeping f
and gazing on the stilled face of oae so a
dear to them. Then young Thomas
Ewing left the house and his appearance, d
even before he spoke a word, was the sig
nal to those who waited without that all
was over. He hastened to the telegraph f
office around the corner, but reporters
were before bite and before he reached it,
news of the General's deatii was spread
ing far and wide over the wires throughb
out the country. Shortly after Secretary I
Barrett reached the telegraph oflice add
sent messages announcing the general's
death to President Harrison, Secretary of
State IBlaine, Secretary of War Proctor, 1
Mrs. Rusk and many others. "He died
like a babe falling asleep," he said,
"there was no suffering, no pain. After
10 o'clock he lay motionless and but very
slight respiration showed that life still
existed. Dr. Alexander was by his bed
side along with members of the family.
Before noontime all had agreed that death
was merely a question of minutes. "Ar
rangements for the funeral," concluded
Mr. Barrett, "are In charge of Gen. H. W.
Slocum. Interment will probably be
made to Calvary cemetery. St. Louis,
where his wife and other members of the
family are interred."
Gens. Slocum, Collis, and Woodward
came from the house and held a short
consultation regarding the arrangements
for the funeral. Gen. Slocum said ar
rangements had not been perfected. He
and (ten. Howard will meet at Gien.
Sherman's late residence at noon tomor
row to arrange all the details. Gen. Col
lis said that a guard would be sent from
Governor's island to take charge of the
remains while they remained in the house.
In speaking of General Sherman's ill
ness, General Collis said that two weeks
ago be had had a conversation with the
general while that gentleman was visit
ing him at his house. of which the sub
ject was the approaching anniversary of
General Grant's birthday, on April 97th.
General Sherman at that time, though in
the best of health, said he would be dead
and to his grave on the day when the cel
e-bration occurred. He told General Col
lis that he had a premonition that while
at a banquet some cold night he would
contract a cold which would carry him
off. This sight into the future is regard
ed by General Collie as something un
canny.

veteran soldier was known and loved for
has unselfish services to hi. country and
him personal attributes. The expressions
of public men were without exception
filled with sorrow and regret for his tak
ing te.
CEicAoo, Feb 14.-A meeting of the
grand army comrades was held this after
soon on the eanouncement of the death of
General Sherman and the resolutions of
regret for his death and of regard of his
memory were adopted. Similar resolm
tions were adopted in regard to the death
of Admiral Porter.
WAsitiKBToV, Feb. 14.-At 8:80 the
message of the president announcing the
death of Gen. Sherman was laid before
the senate. Mr. Hawley rees and offered
the following resolutioas:
"Resolved, That the senate receives
with profound sorrow the announcement
of the death of William Tecumseh Sher
man, late general of the armies of the
United States.
"Resolved, That the senate renews Its
acknowledgment of inestimable services
which be rendered to his country in the
day of Its extreme peril, laments the
great lose which the country has sus
tained, and deeply sympathizes with his
family In Its bereavement.
"Revolved, That a copy of these reso
lotions be forwarded to the family of the
deceased."
Senator Hawley spoke eloquently about
the dead commander and was followed
by Morgan anI Mandermoh.
Davis said be could hardly trust him
If to speak. He had been a soldier
der Sherman and had received acts of
adneee from him when he was a sub
trn. As years hag gone by and the
doming avenues of life had opened up
mys of promotion, that acquaintance had
pened into friendship and, he might I
y, into intimacy. He bad first seen
imsmral Sherman at the siege of Vicks
mrg twenty-eight years ago, when he
as the very incarnation of ware but to
qy that spirit had taken up its rest in
e everlasting tabernacle of death. No
ore were heard thunders of captaine
id shouting. The soul of the great
armor has passed and was stading 1n
idgment before Him who was the Rod
battle and the God of love.
Pierce, as one of the soldiers who had
reved under Gen. Sherman In the army
the Teuneesee. gave some reminis
nces of war and paid a glowing eulogy
hia old commander.
After brief eulogistic address by
vyats the resolutions were adopted unsn
sously.
The president had just finlshed his
inch and was walking up stairs to his
pe when the associated press bulletin
muouncing the death of Gen. Sherman
cached the white house. The telegraph
perator handed the diapatch to Private
scretary Halford who hastened to in
irm the president and met him on the
airway. The president was very much
loved at the intelligence as he and Gen.
herman bad been near and dear friends
w many years. The president served
nder Ben. Sherman in his famous march
the sea and the friendship begun
t that time has been strengthened by
teir close assoication ever since. Gea.
herman never visited Indianapolis
hsile Gen. Harrison was there without
pending many hours in his society and
von greater intimacy has exiated be
ween them since the president's elec
ion. The last time they were together
was January 27. when Gen. Sherman
aIled at the white house in company
with Lien. Scholleld. In the words of Hal.
ord "the president had the greatest love
amd admiration for (Jen. Sherman and is
arely grieved at his death."
The presideut sent a telegram of con
lolence to the family, in which be mug
rested that the body be brought to Wash
ngton on its way to St. Louis and that it
le in state in the rotunda of the capitol
,or at least one day.

lay in bed from Friday mornong until he
died today without speaking a word. He
made an attempt to do so several times,

died. Signs of death were noticed ball

ness of the finger-tips. The coldnes
gradually extended to hisbands and arms

CaicAoo, Feb. 14.-An attempt was
made this morning to put a gang of
Italians at work in a secluded portion of
Jacksoof park grading In preparation for
the World's fair, but the crowd discov
ered the ruse, and, armed with sticks and
stones, made a dash upon them, the Ital
lans feeing in all directions. The discov
ery was also made that the carpenters
at work on the temporary structure were
receiving less than union wages, where
upon a delegation of union carpenters
waited on them and gave them fifteen
minutes to quit work. Sonme of them
obeyed, and those who did not were
pitched of the scaffolds. So not a stroke
of work in behalf of the World's fair Is
being done today. Some of the Italians
were caught and forced to run the gaunt
let, between two long rows of idlers,
who poundeJ them with sticks as they
ran.

German exhibitors for whom it will be
necessary to secure the largest obtainable
space.
