' GENERAL CASSIUS M. CLAY DEAD Noted Kentuckian Passes Away at Bit* Whitehall Home. Gen. Cassius M. Clay died at his Whitehall home, near Richmond, Ky., Wednesday night, at the age of 93. At his bedside when the end came were all bis children, some of whom had not been I inside tiie house or seen their father for years be* itise of his peculiar hailucina- ' tion that they were in a conspiracy to i Kill him. Gen. Ciay was a duelist, abolitionist,; statesman, author and the hero of a mar- ! riage at 84 to a giri of 14, whom he afterward gave up that she might marry a young lover. The room wherein he ex- , j pired was a veritable arsenal until he ■ I was adjudged insane recently. In a hall just outside there was a loaded cannon, t The arms were got together to repel an i attack of an imaginary vendetta. Gen. | Clay served as United States minister ; to Russia under President Lincoln. Born in 1810. Ciay was born Oct. 19, 1810, at Whitehall, his family estate, upon the banks j of the Kentucky river, near the village of I Richmond. This place, which extended, over 2,200 acres* was bought from the Indians by his father in 1766 and its ; inheritance made young Clay one of the , wealthiest men of his day. There are now 365 acres in the farm on ;ZAch Whitehall is situated. The general owned several blocks of property in Newark,

of which James R. Keene’s son-in-law is the head and Foxhall Keene, his son, a special partner, and in the office of which James R. i Keene made his headquarters. James Robert Keene was born in England in 1838, son of a Lon- ■ don merchant, and | emigrated to Cali-
