Sudden Death of Vice-President
Thomas A. Hendrioks.

miseThe Cause of His Death
Executive Action.
Indianapolis, Ind., November 26.
Vice-rresldent Hendricks died very sud
denly and unexpectedly at his residence
on North Tennessee street In tills city at
five o'clock last evening. The demise of
oar Illustrious citizen was so unlooked-
for that the city was shocked at its oc
currence, and the most of our peoplo
were loth to believe It until It was bul
letined from the newspaper offices and
confirmed by personal visits to the house.
The stricken wife was visited by her Im
mediate friends, but such was the shock
to her nerves that It was with the greatest
difficulty that she could talk upon the sub-
cctatall. The city Is In mourning, and the
great heart of Indiana is bleeding over
the remains of her distinguished son.
Mr. Hendricks returned from Chicago
on Monday suffering from a very severe
cold, and complained of pains in his head
and breast, but his condition was not such
as to awaken fears for his safety. Dr.
Thompson, the family physician, was
called, and the patient Insisted upon calo
mel being administered to him. This the
physician refused to do, owing to the
prostrating effects which the drug always
produced upon Mr. Hendricks, but he
gave him an emetic, and later In the day
an injection. Tuesday night the Vice
l'relsdcnt had so much Improved that
he and Mrs. Hendricks at
tended a reception at the residence
of State Treasurer Cooper. Mr. Hen
dricks usually wears heavy clothing, but
Tuesday night he took this off and donned
a dress suit of lighter material. They
returned home a little before twelve
o'clock. During the entertulnment Mr.
Hendricks was in personal appearance as
well as usual, and none, save a few, to
whom he spoke about the matter, sup
posed that he was suffering pain. He
complained to one or two, however, that
ho was feeling unwell, but did not ex
press any apprehension of fatal conse
quences. lie slept well during the night and
arose yesterday morning apparently re
freshed ana feeling better. An hour or
two later he was taken with a rigor, and.
despite the efforts of the attending physi
cian, the force of the chill remained un
broken for quite an hour, and was accom
panied with pains in the stomach. Dr.
Thompson gave him an emetic and an
Injection, which brought relief. He arose
from his bed, In which he had lain
only a few minutes and read
the morning papers, talking cheer
fully with his wife and an old servant.
lie was seriously prostrated, but the doc
tor was not apprehensive of danger, and
he engaged in conversation with the pa
tient on several subjects, among which
was the Vice-President's expected depart
ure for Washington and the resumption
of his duties as President of the Senate.
Mr. Hendricks, however, appeared to be
oppressed by his sickness, and was very
solicitous that Mrs. Hendricks sheuld be
always near him.
11 she left the room for a moment he
inquired concerning her and appeared ill
at ease until she re-entered the room.
When this disposition was developed Mrs.
Hendricks continued by his side, and was
present during the visit of the physicians.
Just before noon he had a relapse, and
the physicians wore again summoned and
administered the usual remedies, beside
bleeding the patient, and Mr. Hendricks
again expressed himself as being greatly
relieved. He remained In his room all the
afternoon, occasionally rising from his
bed, to which he was compelled to return
by the recurrence of the abdominal pains.
To all callers who came, and they were
numerous, he sent word that he was in
disposed, but would be glad to see them
to-morrow.
About 4:80 o'clock Mrs. Hendricks,
who had been at his bedside all day, went
down into the parlor to see a caller who
had come to consult with her regarding
the affairs of a reformatory institute, of
which she was one of the managers, and
he remained with him about twenty
minutes. Tom, a colored servant, and
Harry Morgan, Mr. Hendricks' nephew
and a page in Washington, remained with
him. The servant went out and Mr.
Morgan remained. Mr. Hcudricks tossed
uneasily In his bed and complained of
great pain, but suddenly it geemed to
cease, and he said to his nephew: "I am
free at last: send for Eliza," meaning his
wife, and these were his last words, for
the young man left the room and not
realising the urgency of the message did
not deliver it at once.
Just before five o'clock Mrs. Hendricks
came into the room and found that her
husband was dead. He died alone. The
end of a long and eventful life had come
peacefully and quietly. He lay in the
bed, outside of the covering, only par
tially disrobed, with his eyes half closed
as if he were in a cheerful sleep. On his
face there were no traces of pain or suf
fering, but a pallor had come over it that
Indicated only too plainly that he had
passed away. It needed no close exami
nation to tell that he was dead, and Mrs
Hendricks screamed and ran down stairs,
A servant was dispatched to the
residence of Dr. Thompson adjoining,
and he came immediately, but by the
time he had reached the bedside the
limbs of the distinguished dead man
were becoming cold and rigid, and to
Mrs. Hendricks pathetic appeal, "Oh,
Doctor, can'tyon do something?" he was
obliged to answer. "It is too late."
Mrs. Hendricks Decame almost dis
tracted with grief, and it was an hour or
more before she became sufficiently com
posed to give anv information about her
husband's last moments. The family serv
ants, two of whom had lived with them
(or years, ran about the house crying and
moaning, and there was the utmost con
union for a time.
When the news was bulletined down
town, it was generally discredited, and
In a very few minntes a hundred or more
of Mr. Hendricks' close political ana per-
sonal friends had humed to the house
Very soon a great crowd collected around
the entrance and on the street, and it was
found necessary to refuse admission to
any and all comers except the Immediate
relatives.
CAUSE OF DEATH.
Dr. Thompson says that In his opinion
Mr. Hendricks died of paralysis of the
brain, and there will probably be a pott-
mortem examination to establish what the
disease was. For several years he had not
been a robust man was subject to frequent
"bad spells," as he called them, during
which he would be prostrated sometimes
for days at a time. About two years ago
he was confined to his room for seven
weeks by a gangrenous affection of the
foot, which at the time it was feared would
result in blood poisoning, and it was then
thought that the end of his life was neat
at hand, but he apparently recovered en
tirely from this and was in his ' usual
health. While In Washington during the
last session of Congress he was over
worked and almost worn out by the press
of political matters, and upon his return
home he signified his intention of laying
aside all public business this summer and
devoting the time to recreation, lie spent
three weeks at Atlantic City, fishing, bath
ing and yatchtng. and came West
and went to the Northern
lake resorts, and afterward to tbe
Miami reservoir In Ohio, on a fishing ex
pedition. He returned from there two
weeks ago, and at that time said that he
never felt better In his life. Last week,
by special invitation, he attended tbe fat
stock show at Chicago, and was the re
cipient of considerable attention there,
in the way of banquets and receptions,
returning home on Saturday, somewhat
indisposed. At the reception he attend
ed Tuesday night, however, he appeared
to be unusually cheerful and remained
much later than was his custom ou such
occasions.
The news of Mr. Hendricks' death
spread rapidly throughout the city, and
there was a general expression of sorrow
over it. Those who were his political en
emies here were his personal friends, and
to everybody who called on him, or whom
he met, he had a pleasant word and greet
ing.
Mr. Hendricks had been dead but a
few minutes when forces of men began
draping the State, county and city build
ings in black, and throughout the night
similar emblems were placed on nearly
all the prominent business houses and
residences, so that by morning the city
had put on a general garb of mourning.
All the city ministers In their Thanksgiv
ing services to-day, made appropriate
mention of the death of the distinguished
statesman, and Right Rev. Bl.op Knlck
erbocker,Bishop of the diocese of Indiana,
of the Episcopal Church, of which Mr.
Hendricks was a life-long member,
preached a memorial sermon.
