His two children, Mrs. Rosalind Walling and Will E. English, his son-in-law, 1 Dr. Walling of Chicago, and his two 1 grandsons, English Walling and Willoughby Walling, were present at the | bedside. Late Thursday evening he rallied somewhat and talked over business affairs with his .sou, giving some instructions as to the management of his immense estate. He realized that he would die,-and was prepared. ' He died iu his workshop. Ever since he errected the hotel he has had his office in the corner of the building in which he died. The bedroom was just off the large room iu which he managed... his estate and in which he worked on his history. Withiu five steps of where he I died were great stacks of papers relating j to his private business afid other stacks ' pertaining to the historical researches he had inaddilwring the last few years. It was announced that the funeral : would take place tomorrow afternoon at 2 o’clock. The burial will be at Crown Hill cemetery, where Mrs. English is buried, mid where Mr. English, some time ago, erected a beautiful family monument. I William H. English was Iwrn Aug. 27, 1822, at the village of Lexington, Scott county, Ind. His elementary education was’acquired in the schools of that county at an early day and was followed by a 3-years’ course at Hanover college. He was a student of indomitable energy, and having turned bis attention to the study of law, was admitted to practice in the ■circuit court at the early age of 18. ’He was subsequently admitted t«r-the supremecourt of Indiana, and in the 23d year of his age to the supreme court of the United States. Mr. English was admitted to the state courts under an Old rule which required a rigid examination. Mr. English, in addition to his gift of i application and untiring energy, had all the elements that could have insured success at the bar had he continued in practice: b.itt he drifted into politics, and never again returned to the practice of law as a i- profession. He took a prominent part in ' the political contests of his country even II before he was 21 years old, and was a dele- ' gate from Scott county to the Democratic state convention at Indianapolis which ■ nominated Tilghman A. Howard forgov- , I ern'or. 11 Unilef the Tyler administration be was ■ appointed postmaster of Lexington, his native village. In 1843 he was chosen principal clerk of the Indiana house of repre- ■ j seutatives, and in this position Mr. English ■ i showtsluncontmon capacity. He Was the latest survivor of that legLslature of 53 years ago. After the ejection of .James K. ' I'oik he was appointed*to a position in the treasury department at Washington, and was clerk of the claitiis committee in the United States senate in the session of 1850. At'the close of tim session Mr.'English returned to Indiana, and was chosen for • the exacting duties of principal secretary i of the convention that met to form a new constitution for the state. In 1851 Mr. ■ English was elected to the. Indiana lions j I of representatives. He was then only 29 y ears old, but his ability was so appreciated in the party that, although he had never before sal as a member of a leglslai live body, be was chosen speaker upon the i resignat ion of John W. Davis, who retired . because, of a disagreement with the mar j'.irity. This legislature convened on Dec. . 1, 1851, and continued in session until into <n txie following June. It was the longest 1 and probably the most important session ' of the general assembly ever held in Jndiuna. . ' L : In October, 1852, he ’Was elected to cou- “ gress from the old Second Indiana district. Entering congress irfthe beginning of the administration of J’resident Pierce, ' he gave to the political measiires of his ’ party the warmest, and jriost vigorous sup- ■ port. It was bt-fi.-re this congress that the h famous Kansas-Nebraska >iil came. Mr. . i English, in a minority report, brought I forward the “popular sovertfiguiy” idea. | Hu- s.ini.j idea v..i . subini; taal to Ihe sen- . tle'aHil adopted, nii't the housetbenudoptj ed the amended bill of the -enate as a substitute for the house bill, and it became a , law.- The-storm rttTseffiiy the passage of the Kansas-Neln-itska biJi resulted in the . fiefeat of all but three members from the t .free states who voted for it. Mr. English Was one of the three who < inumiuidedsuffirieufr strength to survive i.be storm. | He wanted to retire from congress at this ‘ end of his second term, but the convention , iras unable t 9 agree upon his successor, / - ' I

— — — 4 V •"< •Mi ha wafc Mai* nowiinatei '»«d elected by m larger majority " ver _ be During this congress I Mr. Bnglma •«- quired a wide reputatio* by bin «* ur f* “P" on the Kansas policy of tion. He steadily opposed the Mdmissiea of Kuuraa under the Lew’mpt®* oonstitfltlou until it had been ratified by a vote es the-people, anil thus took issue with to . administration with which he had pre-•) viously acted. The Kansas cotnprom» measure known as the “English bill ended the controversy by passing both houses houses and becoming a law. It was net what Mr. English wanted, bnt was the . - best he could get under the complicatßMM 4 then existing. The election of 1858 reHunr ed in the return of Mr. English to con- r gress by an increased majority. \ With the approach of the troubles that brought on the civil war Mr. English determined to retire from congress. He was for peace if possible, but withal a sturdy opponent of seceaMou. He had served f( ”JL terms in congress and decided from active politics. Governor Morton offered him the command of a regiment, but he declined. While he took no active part in the field he was known us a “war Demo(THt ’ Having had an aptitude for finance Mte English in 18413 organized the First National bank of Indianapolis, of which he was for m.any years president. In that . year lie reinpved to Indianapolis; and fixed liis home on Circle street, where he resided up to the time of his death. The bank was among the first organised under the new banking law, and under Mr. English’s masterly management was very successful. In the meantime he invested heavily in ival estate, was owner of the Indianapolis streetcar system and MJ largely interested in Other enterprises. Owing to his other heavy interests Mr. English decided to retire from banking, and resigned as president in 18<7 after 14 years continuous service. In 1880 Mr. English was nominated for the vice presidency of the United States on the ticket with General Hancock, but the ticket met. defeat. It was during this campaign that Mr. English sturdily ana successfully resisted the attempt of certain partv managers to levy tribute upon him. He contributed lilterally to legitmate campaign expenses, but refused to furnish funds in any amount, for any illegitimate purpose. In 1885 Mr. English, who had a deep and earnest affection for the associates of his early manhood, called together the survivors of the constitutional convention o! 1850, of .he legislature of 1851 and of the preceding legislatures. It was an event of the utmost interest, this reunion of the , men who had shaped the early legislation of Indiana, and was participated in by such men as Thomas A. Hendricks, Richard W. Thompson, William S. Holman, William E. Niblack, Alvin P. Hovey ' and W. McKee Dunn. During the session it was determined that some steps should be taken to insure the perpetuation of the early history of the state and its public men, and iu view'of Mr. Engbsh’s well known literary ability he was selected W perforin this work. Mr. English’s history, of which two volumes have been issued, is the produce of more than 10 years of patii-nt labd!- and research. Each part was designed te take up a separate and distinct period in the histoi-y of Indiana. The first part liears the title, “Conquest of the Country Northwest of the River Ohio, 1778-1788.” When this part was issued, it was said, by one claiming to know, that Mr. English had paid out #IOO,O )0 in con nection with hishistory. He w:is the author of the first set Os resolutions favoring the erection of the Indiana soldiers’ and sailors, monument, and was for a time one of the commissioners having in charge its erection. It is estimated chat Mr. English’s wealth will aggregate $5,000,000. A large portion of this vast fortune is in real estate, scattered through the various parts, of the state, much of it being in .Marion county. He also owned property in Washington and Louisville. His return of personalty for 1895, consisting of bonds, mortgages and notes in Indianapolis was $500,000. It is thought his rental receipts alone in this city reached $3,000 per mouth. He wus the largest individual owner of business property and ~<l wetHngs ih~Thdiaiia, aud was long considered an expert on valuesof Indianapolis real estate. Mr. English is credfted by those who best knew him with having done much good with His money in a quiet, unostentatious way. Mr. English marrieil in 1847 Miss Emma M. Jackson of Virginia, whom he met in Washington while lie was in the United States treasury department. Mrs. English was a woman of jvely character and beautiful in her home life. She died in 1877, leaving two children, Will E. English of this city and Rosalind E. English, now the wife of Dr. Willoughby Walling of Chicago. - ' -j Weather. Indiana and EUiuqjs—Fair.
