S Banquet. : HEART DISEASE THE CAUSE. NEwW Yorxg, Jan. 30.—Secretary Windotn died suddenly here Thursday night from heart disease. Just as the Secretary concluded his speech at the Board of Trade dinner he grew deathly/pale, his eyes shut and opened spasmodically, and he fell inert on his chair. Thence he slipped to the floor where he lay unconscious. The most intense excitement immediately ensued. Judge Arnoux, exSecretary Bayard and Captain Snow were the first of several who ran to Mr. Windom'’s aid. They found him apparently unconscious. They lifted him gently and carried him into an anteroom, where sevetral physicians proceeded at once to his assistance, but it was found that he was dead. His had been the first toast of the evening. He had finished hisresponse,had seated himself, swooned at once and died almost instantly. Every effort to restore him was made, but in vain. He died of heart disease. The great assemblage at once dissolved. Mr. Windom had been the only spealker, and the sentiment to which he responded was: “Our Country’s Prosperity Dependent Upon Its Instruments of Commerce.”

WILLIAM WINDOM.

Transportation was to sit at its nineteenth annual dinner, and the great hall was bright with light and color. The dinner, which began at 6 o’clock, was completed shortly after 9 o’clock, and Mr. ' Windom, introduced by Judge Armoux, who acted as toastmaster, arose to speak, being the first speaker of the evening. He responded to the toast: ‘‘Our Country’s Prosperity Dependent Upon Its Instruments of Commeree,” He finished his speech at 9:55 o’clock. It had been remarked that he was reading it off hurriedly from the printed copy, going faster and faster as he neared the end, and at the last he had requested the audience not to applaud. A quiver of fear shot through the assemblage like an electric shock as the speaker finished. Mr. Windom was standing erect under the glare of the gas lights, while the faces of the most famous body of men in the country were turned toward him. Something was the matter. They knew not what. For a moment the Secretary of the Treasury stood silent while the banqueters, equally silent, watched him. It was a moment that no one who was present will ever forget. Then Mr. Windom sat down gquietly, too quietly many thought, in his scat, and Toastmaster Judge Arnoux arose to introduce exSecretary of @ State | Bayard as the next speaker. He began a short speech, but had not proceeded far when Mr. Windom gave a short, sharp moan of anguish and fell back in his chair. His face grew purple. His lower limbs stiffened and stretched out of their own accord, apparently, under <he table. His eyelids opened and shut spasmodically, but there was no gleam of intelligence in the eyes, which were rapidly ldsing the luster of life. The cigar which he had been smoking was held in the grim clinch of the teeth. lor only a moment he appeared thus. A cry went up from those sitting near the guests’ table: ““Liook, look at Mr. Windom!” '

Every eye was turned toward the man whose voice had just ceased. At the rear of the hall many stood, and many echoed the cry as Mr. Windom collapsed in his chair and was falling to the floor. IHis face was ghastly and a cry of horror arose from the late festive banqueters. There was an immediate rush on the part of all toward Mr. Windom’s chair, but several doctors who were present at thedinner got there first and drove the othersback. They were Drs. S. A. Robinson, Durant, Whitney, Fisher and Bishop. Dr. Robinson bent down{ and, making a close examination of the prostrate form, discovered that the heart was yet beating, and, with = the assistance of Judge Truax, Captain Snow and one or two others, lifted him to his feet, deathly pale. He was carried into the room behind the banquethall and every thing was done to resuscitate him. Messengers were hastily dispatched for electric batteries, and as many as four were applied to his body, which was rapidly growing cold. This was exactly 10:05 p. m. TFor six minutes the electric shocks were applied incessantly. but without success. He was pronounced dead by Drs. Robinson and Durant. “I would say that the cause of his death was apoplexy,” said Dr. Robinson, ‘if it was not for the history: of heart disease. lam inclined to think that heart disease killed him. Mr. Windom was subject to fits of heart failure. Tuesday last he was seized with an attack shile on the steps of the Treasury at Washington, but he did not lose consciousness and was able to take care of himself.” : L

When 1t was officially announced that the Secretary was dead Secretary Tracy at once went to the nearest telegraph office and sent a message to President Harrison informing him of the untimely event and requesting him to communicate with Mrs. Windom. .

The following death certificate was issued: ‘“We hereby certify that Hon. William Windom, Secretary of the United States Treasury, died at Delmonico’s, corner of Twenty-sixth street and Fifth avenue, at New York City, about 10 o’clock and 11 minutes p. m., on January 29, 1891, and we further certify that the cause of fis death was, first, cerebral hemorrhage, and second, coma., | ; “E. J. WHITNEY, M, D., 100 Lafayette avenue, Brooklyn. S, A. RoBiNsON, M. D., . “West Brighton, L, I."”

YUndertaker Huyler, of Grace Church, was summoned and was put in charge of the remains. The body was taken to room 25 of the Fifth Avenue Hotel.

BSecretary Tracy and Attorney-General Miller awaited at the hotel to receive the remains. '

President Snow telegraphed to President Harrison that the body would be sent on to Washington on a special train in the morning. He appointed as a committee to escort the remains: Ambrose Snow, Darwin R. James, ‘F. B. Thurber, W. H. Wiley, Seth Thomas and Norman S. Bentley.o: THE NEWS AT THE CAPITAL. . WASHINGTON, Jan. 80.—The announcement of the sudden death of Secretary Windom in New York gave almost as great a shock to his official friends and associates here as did the shooting of President Garfield to the members of his official household. @ It was so terribly sudden and unexpected that all who heard the news were profoundly shocked and so overcome as to be unable to express the grief they felt. As soon as the telegram bearing the sad intelligence .was received by the Associated Press lits contents were immediately communieated to President Harrison at the White House. He was in the library at the time, talking with Mrs. Harrison, and when the message was read to him he was greatly distressed and almost completely overcome. He immediately ordered his carriage and went at once tothe house of the Post-master-General, but a few blocks away, where a Cabinet dinner had been in progress and from whiech he had returned but a few minutes before. A reception had followed the dinner, so the guests had not dispersed. Mrs. Windom and her two daughters and Mrs. Colgate, of New York, who is visiting them, were among those present at the reception. As soon as the President arrived he had a hurried conversation with Secretaries Blaine and Proctor and the PostmasterGeneral . and told them of ‘the grief that had ‘befallen: them. They then privately informed Mrs. Colgate of Mr. Windom’sdeath, and she, without exciting the suspicions of Myrs. Windom and her daughters, succeeded in getting them to their carriage and home. - The President, Secretary Proctor and Postmaster-General Wanamaker entered a carriage and followed directly after. When Mrs. Windom and her daughters reached the house Mrs. Colgate gently broke the dreadful news. -Mrs. Windom was completely overcome and had to be assisted to her chamber. The shock was a terrible ‘one, as when the Secretary left Washington in the morning he seemed in the best of health and spirits. The President and the members of his Cabinet who were present extended their sympathy to the stricken family and offered their services to them. Official information of the death came in a telegram from Secretary Tracy and Attorney-General Miller, who were present at the banquet. It said:

“Secretary Windom having cencluded hig speech, and while the next speaker was being announced, sunk down with an attack of heart disease and died within ten minutes. His death occurred at 10 o'clpck. You will know how to convey the intelligence to his family.”

To this the President immediately replied, saying that he was greatly shocked and asking them to take charge of the body and bring it to Washington as early aspossible..

NEw Yorg, Jan. 81.—The sudden death of Secretary Windom forms the one topic of conversation in all circles, and expressions of sorrow are heard on every side. The city is shocked by the sad and tragic event. Flags were at half-mast on all the Federal, municipal and public buildingsout of respect to the illustrious dead. On Fifth avenue, Madison, Lexington, as well as on the adjoining streets, many draped flags were to be seen on private residences. On Broadway and-. other business thoroughfares flags were also at half-mast. s

The body of Secretary Windom was carried from the Fifth Avenue Hotel at half-past 10 o'clock and conveyed in a hearse to the railroad depot at the foot of Liberty street. Secretary Tracy and Attorney-General Miller and C. M. Hendley, private secretary of the dead statesman, attended the remains to Washington. A committee consisting of Captain Ambrose Snow, James B. Talcott, ex-Judge Arnoux, Seth Thomas, Darwin R. James and William H. Wiley, representing the Board of Trade and Transportation, at whose banquet Secretary Windom was stricken, accompanied the remains as a guard of honor. . Examination of the body made early in the morning by Coroner Schultz and Deputy Coromer William T. Jenkins confirmed the belief that death was instantaneous. The examination was a superficial one only, but this, together with a history of the case, given them by Private Sécretary Hendley, convinced them that death was from valvular disease of the heart. Mr. Hendley said that the Secretary had been suffering for a long time with wvalvular trouble of the heart, and in the last three months has rapidly grown worse. He had arrived at such a stage of the d:sease that he could not walk above thg ordinary rate of speed without suffering severe pain. : ' .
