If. B. WABRffl'S DEATH "1

Symptoms cf the Attack for Several Days—Sketch of His Life ana Business Enterprises.

The Shock.

At half paet ten o'clock this morning as Mr. W. B. Warren was walking south on Fourth street from his office whish he had just visited on Main, he was attacked suddenly with apoplexy from which he died within two minutes. He was opposite the side door at Myers' Bros, when Drayman Ryan saw him stop and after standing for an instant, fall flat on hia face which was considerably bruised by contact with the frozen street. Bam Budd ran out and carried him into Ihe store. He gasped oonvulsively and oaly lived about two minutes, dying in Mr. Budd's arms. When ho was picked op he groaned painfully and his heart was thumping at a frighltul rate. He tried to speak but could only utter a gurgling sound and died atjexsctly 10:80.

Dr. Swaftbrd was pasBiog near and was oalkd in but it was too late. He eaid "I pronounce him a dead man." The deceased's nephews, Messrs. Charles Warren, Bay Warren and Henry Warren, soon arrived. The first named went to bis house to prepare the family for the awtul news.

Tbe remains were taken to his borne by Undertaker Isaac Ball at 11 o'clock. FKKMOH1TORY SYMPTOMS.

Mr. Warren had several elight attacks which warned him of his impending danger, but he scarcely ever referred to them, even to bis most intimate friends. On Monday morning Charley Tyler, who has known him a great man? years, the acquaintance dating back to tbe old pork packing days, when Mr. Tyler was employed in his establishment, met him on Sixth street and walked most of the way down town with him. He says Mr Warren complained ot rheumatism in his foot and remarked "when it takes hold of me between the shoulders it is hard to catch my breath." Several times qn tbe way down he stopped, as he said, "to take the kinks out oi my foot." At 2 o'clock ler went to his office, on Main nearFouTtb, and fouad Mr Warren lying down on a sofa with his face so red it was purple. He had opened the stove deor intending to put in some wood, but had evidently been taken sick and laid down. Still, he made no allusion to the attack, as he never did. Tyler stepped to the wood-room and filled the stove and eat down to talk, *£d in a few moments Mr. Warren sat up and ate an appje and seemed better. Later, Supt. Dial), of the Gas Works, came in and Mr. Warren talked to him on business. He remarked to Tyler that he walked with difficulty and believed if the sew Third street cars were running he would go down that way to the street opposite bis house. Though he had several warnings of symptoms of apoplexy he always avoided giving pam to others or further annoyance to himself by referring to the matter, but recently told bis wife that he expected to die from this cause.

MB. JEFF. PATT05 SA.Y3

that Wr. Warren was iu his store on north Fourth street, a very few minutes before his death. Mr. Warren appeared to lie in good health and spiritB, and laughed and talked quite naturally. This wat probably the last conversation Mr. Warren had before the fatal event. Leaving the store he walked south on Fourth street, possibly around to his office, and from there, around tbe corner down Fourth again to Myers Bros.' door where he lell.

Biography.

Mr. Warren was born in Jefierson county, N. Y., and came west wtth his paients in 1817. They settled in Lost Creek township, but in a year removed to Parke couaty. After a residence there a few years tbe boy's father died and his mother, with her lamily of three boys and one girl,returted to this county, where her three sons lived to amass fortunes and win reputations as among tbe ablest financiers and most pradent and success iul business men in the community. Mr. Warren's two elder brothers, Coauncey and Levi died many years ago, and his only ei&ter, Hits Eliza Warren a few years &ince. They all suffered privations which fall to children whose parents are pioneers in a country where tew, if any schools have been established. Mr. War ren sometimes surprised his friends, who were acquainted with Lis quite varied information covering a large number of practical subject*, saying that he bad never attended school but a year and half in his life.

In 1850—51 he added winter pork packing to the dry goods bafiness in which be had been previously iiv.erested. Three years later he retired »rom be dry goods trade and devoted hia entire atten lion to pork packieg winch, at that time as exceedingly profitable. He retired opportunely in 1870, a tor una* move *s the business shortly tbeusfitr commenced to decline. He was elected president of the Terre Haute Gas Ligbt Company of which be was one of the largest stock holders, about sixteen years ago acd retained the position up to the hour ot hiB death. He was also a director in the National 8tatc Bank here and for several years was connected wrh bank at Mattoon, but his interest there he disposed of some time ago. In his management of the estate left by his brother Levi, as guardian for the children, as well as in all his business undertakings, he used wise and prudent business methods. He was never an aspirant for political preferment, but since his retirement from active business lived in comfortable ease at his elegant residence on south Sixth 6treet.

Mr. Warren was not talkative, except to intimate acquaintances, but all of the» remember his great fund of humorous anecdote and reminiscence. His leisure

B, Bradford, a resident of Cincinnati, but temporarily living here, testified he was in Cinch nati the day of the election saw a riot going on in the Plum street disiiict but did not know who were the aggressors. He heard persons say rtspeciablo people would not go into that district to vote, nad heard that the deputy marshals took part in the riot. There wete a great many unemployed negroes standing around the streets and he was told thejr were trom Kentucky.

Frank P. Morgan, a newspayer reporter of Washingfou, testified to being in Ciuoinnati on election day. He saw several men trom W ashiugton tbere acting" as deputy marshals and wealing meta badges. They were Moses Wright, John^ Wright and James Donnelly. Witness paid them asocial call in the evening and they produced ball dog pistols whioh were apart of their equipments. They got their isstrnctions irom Lat Wright first, and were afterward drilled by Pension Detcctive Rathbone. Rstbbone, it was generally understood, had charge of the imported talent-gentlemen who had. been summoned by the Republican Nv tional committee to Cincinnai, ss they said, to see a fair eount. Witness visitea a voting precinct in the Fourth ward andBawagood deal of fighting. The deputy marshals appeared to be overbearing, insolent and insulting. Colored men went around swinging pistols as a policeman would swine his billy. The deputy marshals tended rather to break the peace than to keep it. A week before the election tbere had been a eonveDtion of colored Odd Fellows in Ola-'. cinnatl and witness met a prominenv Georgia colored man named Pledger who told him while be was in the city o&tensibly to attend tbe convention, his real ob»-: ject was to carry the election. Witness said he believed 99 out ot 100 «t theser deputy marshsls were roughs. They, looked dissipated and oapable ot intimidating decent people.

Hiram T. Doyle, who was ia CHncin-' nation election day as correspondent of the Washington Sunday Herald, testified* to the bad appearance of the deputy marshals. He thought they kept a great: many respectable men from the polls and ., their presence gave rise to a feeling of insecurit jr. W
