WINDOM DROPPED DEAD HE SUDDENLY EXPIRES AT A NEW YORK BANQUET. Tragic Clcumstaiices of His Taking Off— He Concludes a Speech, Requests Silence. and Falls a Corpse—His Was a Noble Life—A Brief Biography. [New York dispatch.] The Hon. William Windom, Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, died tonight at 10:05 o’clock in the banquet hall at

JIMjZ zWp .

portation was,to sit SECRETARYwm. WINDOM. at lts n i no teenth annual dinner, and the great gold hall was bright with light and cokr. And feasting there was happy and unrestrained, but death too, sat at the board, and the only soul that flowed out was that of the nation’s financial head. His spirit fled away at the close of his speaking, which was the first of the night, and the last. The dinner, which began at 0 o’clock, was completed shortly after 9 o’clock, and Mr. Wlndoni, introduced by Judge Arnoux, arose to speak, being the first speaker of the □ efesing. He responded to the toast: “OuT Country’s Prosperity Dependent Upon Its Instruments of Commerce.” 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 last he requested the audience not to applaud. A quiver of fear shot through the assemblage, like an electric shock, when bo finished. Mr. Window was standing erect under the glare of the gas-lights, while the faces of the most famous body of mon in the co mtry all 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 quietly, too quietly many thought, in his seat,, ( and Toastmaster Judge Arnoux arose to introduce ex-Secretary of State Bayard as the next speaker. Ho 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 the table; hip eyelids opened and shut spasmodically, but there was no gleam of intelligence In the eyes, which were rapidly losing the luster of life. For only a moment ho appeared thus. A cry went up from those sitting near the guest table. “Look! Look at jy - . Windom!” Every eye was turned toward the man whose voice had just ceased upon the air. At the rear of the hall many stood, and many echoed the cry that Mr. Windom had collapsed In his chair and was falling»to the floor. His 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 the dinner got there first and drove the others back. They were Drs. S. A. Robinson, Durant, Whitney, Fisher, and Bishop. Dr. Robinson one c. two others, lifted him to his feet?

V . V U VHIV4O, mivu 114111 MJ 1113 IVtH, deathly pale. He was carried into the room behind the banquet hall, and everything 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 at 10.05 p. m. For six minutes the electric shocks were applied incessantly, but without success. He was then 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. On Tuesday last he was seized with an attack while on the steps of the Treasury at Washington, but he did not lose consciousness, and was able to take care of himself.” At 10:11 p. m. Judge Arnoux came out of

the room where lay Mr. Windom and announced to the diners that Secretary Windom, whom they had the pleasure of hearing only a few minutes before, had breathed his last. “He is dead,” he said. This was the fearful announcement, uttered in a voice midway between a sob and a whisper, that floated through that gayly bedecked banquet hall, around which still hung, like a funeral pall, the smoke of the after-dinner cigar. “He is dead I” The words went to the heart of every man who heard them. Could they believe it? That the brilliant orator of a few minutes before, tha glowed with enthusiasm in predicting his future policy in the Treasury, was now only inanimate clay. His voice was forever silenced, and his last words were for bis country. Every man looked at his neighbor with blanched cheeks. Death had indeed been with them at their feast, and taken from the throng one of the nation's chief officers. William Windom, Secretary of the Treasury, was born in Belmont County, Ohio. May 10, 1827. His parents had immigrated to that region from Virginia. He was brought up on a farm, was educated in the academy at Mt. Vernon. Ohio, studied law, and was admitted to practice in 1850. He became Prosecuting Attorney for Knox County In 1852. In 1855 he settled In Winona, Minn. Joining the Republican party, he gained a reputation as an orator, and in 1858 was sent to Congress. He was a member of the House

of Representatives for ten years, serving on the Committees on Public Lands and Expenditure, and on the special committee on the re,bellious States, and for three years as Chairman of the Committee on Indian Affairs. lie was appointed United States Senator in 1870 to fill an unexpired term, and was afterward elected for a new term and re-elected In 1877. In 1881 he resigned on being selected by President Garfield for the post of Secretary of the Treasury. He resigned when Vice President Arthur succeeded to the Presidency, and engaged In railroad and other financial enterprises,’ making his home principally in New York, until he was appointed Secretary of the Treasury by President Harrison March 4, 1889.

OVER 100 WERE KILLED PENNSYLVANIA MINERS SUFFER INSTANT ANNIHILATION. Not a Man Escaped—Fire Damp the Awful Agent—A Carload of Coffins Needed — Appeal for Help—Terrific Scenes at the Mine. [Youngwood (Pa.) dispatch.] By an explosion of gas at Mammoth Mines No. 1, 110 men were killed. Sixtyfive bod es were recovered. The mine is on fire, and it is believed the unfortunate dead will bo cremated before it is possible to reach them. An army of men is at work in the pit endeavoring to stay the lire and recover the .dead bodies. They are making little headway, however. A car-load of coflins was received this evening. One hundred and ten men were employed in that part of the mine in which the explosion occurred, and not one was left to tell the story of the disaster. Not i more than fifty men wore killed by the i explosion. The others were overcome by the after-damp. While some of the , bodies were horribly burned, torn, and mutilated, others were found with their teeth clinched on the iron rail of the pit road. Others were found with their faces plunged into the water. Not a few knelt as if in prayer when their untimely end camo. Fire-boss Sneath was identified only by his gum-boots. He mu^ have been nearest the explosion. His body was scattered about in dozens of pieces. His head was pulled from his shoulders. Both his legs were torn off. His clothing *was ripped into shreds. That part of his body recovered was roasted and blackened. His mutilated body was found where the explosion is supposed to knvn neenrrod. His safetv lamo was

Delmonlco’s. where he was the guest of the New York Board of Trade and T r a n s p o r t ation. His had been the first toast of the evening. Ho had finished his response, had seated himself, swooned at once, and died almost Immediately. This was to have been a night of a ■ feast of reason and «flow of soul at Delmonico’s. The New Yo r k Bo ar d of Trade and Trans-

Dive UUUUIICU. Alio oohvvj shattered Into numberless pieces. His j left hand clutching his lamp was found ! over one hundred feet from the trunk of his body, and one of h s gum-boots was found fifty yards away. One of his feet with part of the leg attached was picked up. When the parts of his body were colie t >d and sent in a sheet to the pit mouth they were identi- I tied by an engineer who recognized the gum-boots. All the officials of the Fricke Coke I Company are in the dark as to the cause ; of the explosion. Fire-Boss Sneath inspected the mine before work was begun .this morning, and his written report, filed a few hours before he was killed, sets forth that the mine was safe at that time. When the volunteers entered the mine a sight impossible to picture met them. [ Bank cars, mules, and —more terrible | than all—men were piled in a compact | mass against th i ribs or walls of coal, | and not a living thing was in the wreck- I age. It was almost as solid as the coal itself, so terrific was the force of the i explosion. This obstruction was re- ! moved with difficulty, and they entered a chamber of horrors. The first object they discovered after leaving the main I entry was a gum boot. In it was the leg of a man Farther on they found a human head, but nowhere in flight was the trunk that had borne it but a few minutes before. After walking a distance, surrounded by dangers unseen, but more terrlljje than can be imagined, they found the trunk. The ragged neck with the blood oozing from it told the story of the appalling disaster. Working their way in, the band found the bodies strewn along the gangway. Every man in the headings where the ' MWU HUH ’ nW* 1

the crowd at the shaft mouth simply fell back to allow the men carrying the stretchers room to pass. Kvcry corpse was covered, and no ono even ventured to inquire which body it was, for it was known that every one in that part of the mine at the time of the explosion was dead. General Manager Lynch of the 11. C. Fricke Coke Company is on the scene helping to devise means to rescue the perished workmen. His assistance is invaluable, as he has many years' experience in mining operations. The mammoth plant embraces 509 ovens, one of the largest plants in the coke regions, but it is hard of access. It is situated near the United Works, where an explosion recently destroyed the entire shaft.

Ihe affair has east a gloom over the entire coke region, and to-night hundreds of miners are flocking to the scene of the disaster offering assistance. The appalling loss of life in the Dunbar dis.ster is more than overshadowed by the destruction of life in this mammoth calamity. Language is too weak to describe the scenes at the mines. Horror is piled on horror. The news spread throughout the entire coke region and everybody was awestricken. The only man who escaped was Mine Boss Eaton. Among those killed are John Beverage and J. Boles, formerly of this place. The former resided here for many years and was held in high esteem by everybody. He was a roadman in the shaft. Ex-Mine Inspector Keighly, the Superintendent of the fatal shaft, is nearly distracted. It is a singular fact that misfortune seems to have followed him. His experience in the Hill Farm disaster resulted in his tendering his resignation as mine inspector. Master Workman Peter Wise addressed the following letter to the miners and cokers of the region'to-night: To the Members of the Knights ot Labor and Workingmen of the Coke Region : The sad news of a disastrous explosion at Mammoth mines has just reached me. and I fear many families have been left destitute. I therefore appeal to you to promptly render what aid you can to assist the

families of your brethren who have been killed. Tho Master Workman and committees at each works will kindly take the matter In hand and act as a relief committee. -Let the committee select a “ check member,” and each mitjer run as many wagons as he can under tho circumstances contribute, and arrangements will be made with the companies to pay the amount, and thus prompt aid can be given. Drawers can adopt the same plan, and day men can contribute from their day’s work, and have the same deducted in the office. This aid will be separated and apart, from any public contributions, and will bo forwarded to district officers, who will apply It to the relief of those for whom It is contributed.

Are These Halves Counterfeit T “Oh, no, I can’t take that. It’s COI A* terfeit,” said a conductor on the Madison street line last evening as he returned a silver half-dollar to a passenger. A discussion followed as to the genuineja nessof the coin. It was bright and new] and had a clear ring, but it wouldn't go with the conductor. The passenger paid his fare with another coin, still homing the alleged counterfeit in his hand. “Why, I have a mate to it, ” said a man sitting close by. “And so have I,” said another across the aisle. “And I, and I;” put in the third and fourth, each in turn producing a coin like that refused by the conductor. “Well, they are no good,” said the street-car man. “I have one in my pocket ' which the company refused to take, and j I don’t care to get any more of them. | The whole West Side is flooded with . them. Every trip I make I have to refuse one or more of them. A short time ago the conductors had a time with a । counterfeit silver dollar, but it wasn’t as perfect as this half-dollar.” I The alleged spurious half-dollar bears I the date of 1877, and to all appearances . is genuine. It is understood that the Sub-Treasury here recently put into circulation a large number of silver half-dollars of the mintage of 1877.— Chicago Tribune. His Rule, Retire at 10. “I go to bed at 10 o'clock every night of the week all the year round,” said a down-town importer. “1 will not be kept away from home till midnight to see a play; 1 belong to i nly one club, at j which 1 spend a couple of hours now and J then, after dinner; 1 don't go to parties’! that would keep mo up ti I When I dine out. at II leave it before 10, and when I have a" friend to dine with mo I let him know of

my habit of ret'ring early. 1 am often , tempted to stay up late, but my . rule is inflexible. As a consequence I ( am free from the headaches ami dumps and sore joints and blues and doldrums that so many other men have, and in this month of December 1 am up with the dawn every morning, as lively as a cricket, get through with my paper by ’ breakfast time nt 7. and am all ready for the business of the day by 8 o clock.” Tlirough the Weary Hours Os many a night, made doubly long by its protracted agony, the rheumatic sufferer tosses to and fro on his sleepless couch, vainly praying for that rest which only conies by fits and starts. His malady is one which ordinary | medicines too often fail to relieve, but there is ample evidence to prove that the efficient blood deputent, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, affords the rheumatic a reliable means of relief. Check : the malady in its incipient stages, when the I first premonitory twinges come on, with this agreeable medicine, an i avoid years of torture. | Whatever be the rationale of the active Influ- | cnee of the Bitters upon this malady, certain it is that no evidence relating to its effect is m- re direct and positive than that which relates to its action in cases of rheumatism. Like all sterling remedies, however, it deserves a protractcd. systematic trial, and should not lie al andoned because not at once remedial. It is j equally efficacious in dyspepsia, indigestion and kiudrid diseases. A Curl -in Slip. Railroad President What docs thi' j mean, sir?

In August I was just able to move around. I wa^s reduced to a mere skeleton, my appetite was entirely gone and my friends thought I could not live. I took almost everything I could hear of, but with no good resu.ts, during that winter. One day, reading about taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla in Marrh. April and May, I concluded to try it.

Georgia Legislators. Hero’ are some stories that Gazaway Ilartridge tolls about members of the Georgia Legislatuie: When one of them introduced a bill on the first day, and the Speaker asked, “Shall this bill be committed or engrossed?” ho replied, being somewhat at a loss, “.les let it stay thar awhile, Mr. Speaker. ” They tell me that another brother missed the roll-call one morning, and in dire distress went tb Governor Northen, humbly petitioning to be reinstated. Ono of them asked another for a chew of tobacco. “I’ll return the favor some time,” said he. “No, you needn’t return it,” said the other, “I'm making $4 a day and don’t mind the expense ” Another one went down to Bob Hardei man’s office to know how much salary he | could draw. “Oh,” said the Treasurer, । “I guess you can get all you want.” “Well,” said the legislator, “I need some money for myself, and the old woman needs some, and the revenue officers are after one of my boys. Can you let me have $2.25?” A Shower of Twins. Within a period of ten minutes on Monday last three sets of twins were born to members of the same family. The wife of John Beam, of Mitchellville, aged 65 years, gave birth to twins, and her daughter, Mrs. Stratton, who lives in a neighboring township, presented her husband with twins the same evening. Mrs. Stratton's daughter Eva was married a year ago, and lives in Bradford. The friends of Mrs. Stratton and Sli t mother were not yet through c >njjrratulating them over the interesting ■ natal coincidence in their families when JL'rs. Stratton received a letter from her Json-in-law announcing that her daugh*fbr had given birth to twins on Monday evening. The three double births oc-
