'i‘hrough all the night the. gen- eral had been sinking. lie. remained in the same semi-comatose state, rallying some— what now and then. and only when ad— dressed. But with each hour his vitality was becoming less. and the fight between the grim old warrior and death went on more fiercely. The legion of friends who had called, the thousands of friends scat- tered all over the country, those who had called him commander and the family which was congregate<l near him, all hoped for the best. . :§F‘ @945” ‘ i 1’1”}, GEN. W. T. SHERMAN. The hope was hung on a slender thread. There was nothing encouraging in his con- dition. The skillful physicians examined the patient critically, looking in vain for the slighécst symptom which would indi- cate a change. for the better. It could not, however. be found even by the practiced eye. On the contrary, what— ever change there was indicated that death would soon be master of the situation. So through the night Drs. Alexander and Green watched and waited, prepared for the worst. At 6 o‘clock in the morning there had been no change in the patient’s condition. listrcme Unction Administered. He had sunk very low, and it was by no means certain that his power to rally would bc equal to the last strain. It was decided by the physiciansthat still another consultation was necessary. Dr. Janeway and the other physicians held the consul- talion at 0 o’clock. Then they issued this bulletin: “The general is in great danger, but we think he has a bare chance of recovery.” That is all there was at 9 o‘clock—just a bare chance. The general’s private secre— tary. .l. M. Barrett, returned from Toronto, why-re he had been when first the general was taken sick. At 10:15 it was announced that Gen. Sher- man was dying. His death was simply a question of a. very short time. At 10:50 o’clock it was announced that the general could not live longer than one hour. ' The 11 o’clock bullet-in was as follows: “The general is gradually sinking. All hope abandoned. His family are now at , his bedside awaiting the end.” Extreme auction was administered at 11:25 o'clock. Gen. Sherman was then ex- pected to die at any moment. A Slight Rally. .\ bulletin was issued at 1.1:l5 o’clock. It read: "The general is very low. The doc- tors are. now in consultation.” _\.I 11:13 o'clock Gen. Thomas Ewing fur— it”l addi: ional information as to Gen. a ' condition. He said that the st . < man‘s lungs were slowly filling with mucus. Yl‘he quantity of mucus on the -: was constantly increasing. Gen. an was too weak to be able to relieve 2 of this accumulation of mucus. his short. broken gasps that first led the family and physicians to believe that the general would die within an hour. A lillleai‘ter .71 o’clock the sick man’s condition had improved slightly, Gen. Eva-2...;- s::i-i. but the mucus still continues to .. ., .imulate. At 1 o’clock Senator Sherman tele- graphed l’l't-siclent Harrison as follows: “.131 improvement in the condition of Grn. Sherman at this hour warrants a faint hope that he may recover.” The 1:30 p. m. bulletin said: “Gen. Sher- man‘s condition is slightly improved since the morning." At 2 p. m. Dr. Alexander told Gen. '1‘. \V. Sweeney, an old friend of Gen. Sherman and veteran, that. there was no hope, and that if Gen. Shcrman lived forty-eight hours it would be. a miracle. “'onderful “'ill Power :‘i 1: :3 o'clock Gen. King was at Gen. Sher-1 ins-.n‘s residence. He says that Gen. Sher- man was much better at that time and had walked across the room a short time before. Hen. King’s story was confirmed by Pri- vate Sccretary Barrett. He added that the cirn-lnnraanccs were. entirely an exhibition of will power, and did not indicate ally im- provement in the patient’s condition. The end is rapidly approaching. .‘s‘ ill-Iliill’AN’H LIFE. \‘v'illiam Illecumseh Sherman was born at l.:a:ca:-:t<.-r, 0., on Feb. 8, 13.20. lie was called 'i‘ecumsch after the great Indian chief of that name, who had been a warm friend of William’s father, Judge Sher— lllilll. Young Sherman graduated from the military academy at \Vest Point in the class of 1am, After his graduation he served with distinction in the Florida war and subsequently in the’war with Mexico. He next held a staff position in the army in California, Missouri and Louisiana from 1847 to 1853, when he resigned. Giving up the. tent for the counting room he became a banker in San Francisco, and was in that business for four years. He had while in the army studied laW, and thinking this profession more to his taste. he practiced it for the next two years. He became superintendent of the Louisiana State Seminary of Learning and Military Academy in 1859, but resigned in 1861 at the beginning of the civil war. At the Front. . Gen. Sherman was at once commissioned colonel of. a regiment of infantry, and com- manded a volunteer brigade at the battle of Bull Run, July 21, 1861. He was soon appointed brigadier general of volunteers and assigned to the command of the de- partment of the Cumberland, but from some cause he was removed, and was for some months in command of a camp of in- struction near St. Louis. He took part in the Tennessee and Mis- sissippi ctmpaign, commanding a division at Shiloh, April 6 and 7, 1862, and in the subsequent siege of Corinth. On May 1, 1862, he was appointed major general of volunteers, and was frequently engaged~ during the summer and autumn of 1862. He took an active part in the Vicksburg campaign, and was made brigadier general in the regular army. He Succeeds Grant. Gen. Sherman succeeded Gen. Grant as commander of the Army of the Tennessee on Oct. 25, 1863. He took part in the. opera,- tions around Chattanooga and the assault and capture of Missionary Ridge. He also organized an army of 100,000 men for the spring campaign of 1864. On the 12th of March, 186'}, he succeeded Gen. Grant as commander of the military division of the Mississippi,embracin g the departments and armies of the surrounding regions. On May 2, 1864, he entered on the invasion of Georgia, making Atlanta his first point, and between that date and Sept. 1 fought many pitched battles. He received the capitulation of Atlanta, Sept. 2, 1864, and occupied it as a military post until Nov. 15, 1864. . The Famous March to the Sea. Having sent about two-fifths of his force, under Gen. Thomas-to repel Gen. Hood’s movement into Tennessee and destroy much of Atlanta, he marched southward to the sea, with a force of 60,000 men, in 165s than a month passing over about 300 miles with his army, without any impor- tant action till he reached Fort McAllister, below Savannah, which he captured after a brief action Dec. 13, Savannah surrender— ing Dec. 21, 1861. He commenced Jan. 15, 1865, his invasion of the Carolinas, being about six weeks in passing through South Carolina. He fought two battles in North Carolina, March 16 and 20—21, 1865; occu- pied Goldsboro’ March 22, and, having given his army a few weeks’ rest, captured Raleigh April 13, and negotiated with Gen. J. E. Johnston terms of surrender of all the Confederate forces in the field.‘ These terms were pronounced inadmissible by the Federal government, and Gen. Sher- man, under Gen. Grant’s instructions, de- manded and received Gen. Johnston’s sur- render April 26, 1865. Again He Succeeds Grant. Gen. Sherman had been made a major general in the United States army Aug. 12, 1864, for his Atlanta campaign, and aft- er the close of the war continued in com- mand of the military division of the Mis- sissippi for more than a year. On July 25, 1866. Gen. Grant having been promoted to be general of the army, Gen. Sherman was advanced to be lieutenant general, and was assigned to the command of the military division of the Missouri. 111' March, 1869, Grant having resigned the generalship in consequence of his elec— tion as president, Sherman was promoted to the vacant rank. In November, 1871, he obtained leave of absence for a year‘s travel in Europe and the cast. Upon his return he made his headquarters at Washington, but toward the close of 1874 changed them to St. Louis. Three years later he returned again to \Vashington, taking up has resi— dence at No. 817 Fifteenth street, North- west. In 1876 and 1880 he was prominently spoken of as a candidate for the presi- dency. Retired on Full Pay. On the 8th of April, 1883, President Ar- thur issued the following order announc- ing the retirement of Gen. Sherman: “Gen. William T. Sherman, general of the army, having this day reached the age of 64, is, in accordance with the law, placed upon the retired list of the army, without reduction in his current pay and allowances. The announcement of the severance from the command of the army of one who has been for so many years its distinguished chief can but awaken in the minds not only of the army, but of the people of the United States, mingled emotions of regret and gratittule—regret at the withdrawal from active military service of an officer whose lol'i y sense of duty has been a. model for all soldiers since he first entered the army in July, 1840, and gratitude freshly awak— encd for the services of incalculable value rendered by him in the war for the Union, which his great military genius and daring did so much to end. The president deems this a fitting occasion to give expression to the gratitude felt toward u‘ren. Sherman by his fellow citizens, and to hope that Prov- idence may grant him many years of health and happiness in the relief from the active duties of his profession.” Gen. Sherman at once retired to private life and moved to St. Louis, Where he re— sided for a short time. He then took up his residence in this city, where he has since lived, and Where his face has been a. familiar one. Gladstone Opens a Library. LONDON, Feb. 13.——Mr. Gladstone Thurs- day opened the new free public library near Charing Cross, in the parish of St. Martin’s-in-the-Fields. The new library contains 10,000 volumes in its lending de— partment, one-third of which are works of fiction. The library of reference is one of incalculable value to men of letters and students, containing. as it does, 8,000 vol— umes, givin g it in this particular a position of importance in London second only to that of the British museum. Forsytlie Restored. WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.—By direction of the president Col. J. NV. Forsythe, who was suspended by Gen. Miles for his con- duct of the fight at W'ounded Knee, was Thursday restored to his command. This action was taken as a result of the investi— gation of the Wounded Knee fight. Fitz and Jiln Hall.

BLOWN human A Building Wrecked and Many Per- sons Buried in the Ruins. TWENTY TAKEN ‘OUT DEAD. About as Many More Rescued Badly In- jured, Some of \thu It Is Feared Cannot Survive—A Boiler Explo- sion Causes the Disaster. QUEBEC, Feb. l3.—About 9:45 Thursday morning the boiler in the Quebec Worsted company’s factory, at Hare Point, ex- ploded, completely destroying the engine house and half of the building. A large number of employes were buried in the ruins. So for thirty bodies have been taken out, and the work of rescue is going on rapidly. The works of the Quebec \Vorsted com- pany are situated at llare Point, on the northeastern outskirts of the city, and cover a large area and employ more hands than any other manufacturing establish- ment in the city. They had been closed down for two weeks while the boilers and machinery were being overhauled and re- fitted. Operations were to have been re— sumed Thursday morning, and about 300 of the operatives were on hand, but owing to some cause the machinery was not started and they were dismissed. Most of them fortunately went back to their homes, but many. remained about the building, anumber keeping in the vicin- ity of the engine room for the sake of the warmth. The “'ork of Rescue. About 9:45 o’clock there was a sudden explosion, which completely wrecked the engine and dye houses, and demolished a large part of the main building. The noise of the explosion was heard all over the city, and soon a great crowd gathered about the scene. The work of rescuing those buried in the ruins and recovering the bodies of the (lead was at once com- menced. The fire brigade was summoned, but fortunately the horrors of fire were not added to the calamity. The excitement was so great and the. crowd so enormous that “B” battery was ordered down to assist the police in main- taining order. In the. great confusion which prevailed it was impossible to get a reliable list of the killed and injured, and this may not be obtained until the ruins are thoroughly examined. Several persons who were supposed to be in the ruins have turned up, having left the mill before the explosion. About twenty (lead have al- ready been taken out, besides as many badly injured, some of whom it is feared will die. The Idéutified. Among those identified: William Forest, Emilia Cote, badly scalded; Alex Mar- tiueau, dying; Miss Rousseau, broken thigh and fractured skull; John Morrison, fractured skull; Timothy Enright, head injured, Pierre Peterson, scalded and bruised; P. Blouin, scalded; Emilia Boule, dying; Miss Mercier, dead; Joseph Du- fresne, dead; Henri la , Liberte, dead; Joseph McHaud, dead; .l'. Styles, badly in- jured; H. Styles, badly scalded; John La- montaine, dead; Arthur Tweedle, dead. There is a good force of doctors and sur— geons on hand, and the wounded are re- ceiving prompt- attention. On account of the large number of persons who started to work this morning, and, as stated, sub- sequently returned home, the number of missing is probably much exaggerated. The cause of the accident is not yet known, but it is thought some of the pipes may have been frozen while the fires were out, and so cause a stoppage when steam was got up. LOST AT SEA. An American Rigged Bark Goes to the Bottom with All on Board. BOSTON, Feb. 13.—Capt. Eisonhauer, of the brigantine Alice, has arrived here. The Alice sailed from Lunenburg Nov. 28 for Barbadoes with fish and lumber, was dis- abled by a succession of heavy gales and sunk just after she was abandoned, Dec. 7. The captain and crew were picked up by the French bark Emile and taken to Havre, whence they were sent to England and thence home. The,ca.ptain reports that on Dec. 4, in a heavy gale, he saw a large bark of Ameri— can rig founder and go to the bottom with all on board. DILLON AND O’BRIEN GIVE UP. They Return to England and Surrender to the Police. FOLKESTONE, Feb. 13.—Messrs. Dillon and O’Brien arrived here Thursday and surrendered themselves to the police offi- ’ cials immediately upon the arrival of the steamer from Boulogne. Upon surrendering to the police Messrs. Dillon and O’Brien were put on «the first train for London, to which city they were conveyed under escort of officers detailed from Scotland Yard. Cashier Spavuld‘ing’s llIethods. AYERS, Mass, Feb. 13.—President Halt well, of the North Middlesex Institution for Savings, said Thursday morning that the deficit occasioned by Cashier Spauld- ing’s transactions, will reach at least $525,- 000. The examination shows that Spauld- ing has been for some time. practicing a forced balance system in the accounts of both the First National bank and Saving Institute. llIaskers in Flames and Panic. HOUGI-rrox, Mich., Feb. 13.—Five hun- hred persons were panic stricken at amas- querade ball here. A boy with a lighted candle set fire to the costume of Otto Krellwitz, which was made of cotton bat- ting. The masker, enveloped in flames, rushed wildly about, setting fire to the clothing of several other persons. Krcll- witz was terribly burned. English Mail Openers. DES MOINES, 1a., Feb. 13.—Early in De- cember a local paper here sent Judge Thomas Burke to Ireland to write up the political situation.

ALBANY, Feb. 13.—In the senate: Senate rule 3 was up for amendment to provide that the lieutenant governor may appoint a senator to serve in his absence, provided only that the president pro tem. be absent. My. Cantor thought - that to amend it would be discourteous to the lieutenant governor. Mr. Sloan thought not. He believed that in the absence of the lieuten- ant governor the president pro tem. should preside. 'A motion to refer to committee was lost. Mr. Cantor then moved to ad- journ. Lost. Mr. Sexton amended so that rules 3 and 6 should harmonize. Mr. Cantor (lid not see why the rules should be amended without reason. Lieutenant Governor Jones said that he could explain the matter.

Fassett said that he had never heard of such threat. Mr. Can- tor moved rcference to committee. Lost by a party vote. Mr. Cantor moved indefinite postpone- ment. Lost. . Mr. Ives moved twice to adjourn. Lost both times. ' Mr. Cantor moved reference to commit- tee. Lost. . Mr. Erwin said that the cloture rule ought to be enforced. The people’s time and money were being used up. Mr. Cantor renewed his motion, and said in support of it that to break into the rules at this time and to try and limit the lieu- tenant governor in his last two months would be discourteous. The motion was lost. Mr. Ives moved a reconsideration of the vote. Mr. Laughliu said he thought that the lieutenant governor wanted to be away. fixing fences for the 4th of March, and he should be limited. The motion was lost. In the Assembly. In the assembly Mr. Dempsey’s bill con- structing sidewalks in Erie canal in city of Rome passed by a vote of 68 to 31. Mr. Holcomb’s bill appropriating money for the. purchase of books for the state library was reported adversely. Mr. Deyo moved that the committee on ways and means and canals, who had been considering his three resolutions, be dis— charged. Motion lost. Mr. Gould’s Black river canal appropria- tion bill passed—68 to 31. BRAZILIAN BRUTALITY. A Startling Story of How Russian Im- ‘ migrants \Vere Treated. WARSAW, Feb. 18.—M. Dygasinski, the special correspondent of The Warsaw Cour— ier, who was dispatched to Brazil by that paper to report on the condition and treat- ment of immigrants to that country, has returned from his mission. M. Dygasinski made a tour of the provinces of San Paulo, Panana and Santa Catharina. He asserts that every possible obstacle was thrown in his way by the government of Brazil, and it was Only with the greatest difficulty that he ascertained the truth concerning the emigration question. Some time ago, he says, Brazil decided to import 10,000,000 emigrants, and the North German Lloyd Steamship company had already landed 140,000, receiving 300 marks each for them. Emigrants were not allowed to found colonies, but were scattered in forests and abandoned to die of hunger, fever and snake bites, or to be devoured by beasts of prey. communicate with friends, a few who sur- vived made their way back to Rio J aneiro, begging of planters scanty meals, for which they were compelled to render slav- ish services. Arriving at Rio Grande, M. Dygasinski found 700 of his unfortunate countrymen in a dying state, huddled in a. wooden chapel, while thousands were camping in the open air in the streets of cities and in the primeval forest alike. l’Vhile in Bre- men, 011 his way home, the correspondent testified on oath to the truth of his state- ments before judges of that city, who are inquiring into the scandal. A repatriation fund has been opened by The Courier. The Weather. Increasing cloudiness and rain; slightly warmer; southerly winds. FINANCIAL AND CODIDIERCIAL.
