General Spinola Summoned to the Great Silent Majority. HIS CAREER A NOTABLE ONE. He Was Prominent in Politics and on the Battlefield, and Was a. Man of Re- markable Nerve and Courage and a Fine Orator. WASHINGTON, April 15.—Greneral Spinola died at 1:25 o’clock Tuesday morning. Heart trouble and a general breaking up 'of the system caused a complication of diseases which sapped his vitality and, toward the last, so robbed him of strength that he could not even take nourishment. His wife is utterly prostrated. She had been confined to her room for several day 8 previous to her husband’s death, being worn out by the strain. GENERAL SPINOLA’S CAREER. Francis B. Spinola was born at Stony Brook, Suffolk county, L. 1., March 19, 1821. He inherited his robust frame and clear head from good revolutionary stock, for his grandfather saw more than seven years of active service under Washington, and the general emulated the patriotism of his distinguished ancestor by himself being among the first to respond to the call of his country to arms in 1861. Gen- GENERAL SPINOLA. eral Spinola was educated at the public schools on Long Island and at the Quaker Hill boarding school near Poughkeepsie, and was admitted in 1844 to the bar, where he made an honorable record. He was for four years, beginning in 1843, alderman for his ward in Brooklyn, where he then lived; was made a supervisor in 1848, and in 1856 was elected to the assem- bly, and served as chairman of the com— mittee on cities. In 1857 he was elected to the senate, where his capabilities as a de- bater at once placed him among the lead- ers of his party on the floor. Mr. Spinola attained prominence in the Democratic party of New York, and was chosen delegate in 1860 to the National Democratic convention which met in Char- leston, S. C., in that year. The memorable contest for the Democratic nomination for president resulted in another convention at Baltimore, with the result that two candidates were in the field, Breckinridge and Douglass. It was at the Charleston convention that General Benjamin F. But- ler voted in fifty-four consecutive ballots for the nomination of Jefferson Davis for president. General Spinola was again a delegate at a national Democratic convention, that of 1884, when Grover Cleveland was nomi- nated the first time for president. In the Army. In 1862 Spin ola abandoned politics for service in the Union army, where he served with distinction until twice wounded and made a cripple for life. He was honora- bly mustered out in August, 1865, as a brigadier general of volunteers, and he re- tired to his farm on Long Island, where he spent several years in bringing it to the highest point of cultivation. He received the thanks of congress for gallant services in the field. In 1876 General Spinola was returned to the assembly by an immense majority. 111 health prevented him from accepting a re- nomination. In 1886 he was again called to the post of duty by the united nomina- tion of the Democrats of the Tenth Con- gressional district, which he so ably repre- sented in the Fiftieth and Fifty-first con- grosses. He was re—elected last August to the Fifty-second congress. General Spinola was a fine orator, and a shrewd parliamentarian. As a speaker he dealt more in fact than in flights of ora- tory, and yet at times his well constructed, epigrammatic sentences flowed in a pecul- iarly slow and measured cadence, that in- of the house, whose members listened to him with evident satisfaction. His re- markable coolness and self poise when in .debate gave him an immense advantage over irritable and nervous opponents that he never failed to take advantage of. , An Exhibition of Nerve. Another striking characteristic was his courage. It was related of him that in 1852, while in Washington aiding the as- pirations of his friend, Lewis Benedict, for a position in President Pierce’s cabinet, he chanced to meet Humphrey Marshall, Kentucky’s well known fire eater and duel- ist. Marshall was abusing Benedict in the presence of several gentlemen in front of VVillard’s hotel, and Spinola at once joined issue with him. The debate waxed hot, the lie was passed and Marshall promptly challenged General Spinola to fight a duel, and the general as promptly accepted, naming bowie knives as weapons,-the com- batants to' strip to the waist. Marshall’s friends objected that bowie knives were not according to the “code,” but General Spinola replied: “I have never fired a gun or pistol in my life, and I know nothing of their use. I don’t propose to stand up before the un- erring aim of a practiced duelist and be deliberately murdered, but if Marshall means fight I am ready to meet him as I have decreed.” Gen. Spinola’s cool nerve and deter- mined manner had a quieting effect upon Marshall, and his friends were not slow in amicably adjusting the matter. ' The general and his wife occupied dur- ing the summer their magnificent country residence on Long Island, where they en- tertained with lavish hospitality. During the winters they have lived in Washing- ton. The general was a member of the Metropolitan Methodist church at the capi- tal. He was moderately wealthy, being interested in many banking institutions and insurance companies. He had not practiced law '1‘ or many years, and when nor. in the pubic service devoted his Lime cut i rely to bust less ventures. variably attracted the undivided attention ' Enos H. NEBEKER. — Appointed Treasurer of the United States to Succeed Mr. Huston. WASHINGTON, April 15.—The president has appointed Enos H. Nebeker, of In- diana, treasurer of the United States, to succeed J. N. Huston, of Indiana, whose resignation will take effect upon the quali- fication of his successor. Mr. Nebeker left for Washington last evening. It will be about ten days before Mr. N ebeker quali- fies. He will ~have to give a bond of 8150,- 000 upon taking the oath of. office, and again when he is confirmed by the senate he will have to‘ give a new bond for a like amount. When he assumes charge of the office all the money in the United State: treasury will have to be counted. E. II. NEBEKER. A :Jmmittee consisting of three per- sons. one representing the outgoing treas- urer, one representing the incoming treas- urer and one representing the secretary of the treasury will be appointed to superin- tend the count of the money. This com- mittee will be assisted by about fifty clerks in counting the currency, bonds and securities. It will take this force about three weeks to count the currency, etc. After the currency is counted the heavy work begins—that of weighing the coin. This is done by the committee with the help of about twelve laborers, who place the coin,which is in great bags, upon the scales. It will take about two months to com- plete this work. There are now 4,500 tons weight of coin in the treasury to be count- ed. Approximately there are now in the vaults $691,370,000. Until the count is com- pleted and the money found correct the bond of Treasurer Huston is not released. THE BIG COKE STRIKE. Some of the Strikers’ Families Are Well Nigh Starved. SCOTTDALE, Pa, April 15.—The coke companies are making aggressive move- ments, and the labor leaders are working to defeat them. Nearly every operator has joined the general movement for re- sumption. They all propose operating their works under the sliding scale of wages, which was submitted to their em- ployes three weeks ago. There are no re- ports of disorder. Last night a mass meeting of 2,000 strikers was held at Tran- gers. They resolved to “stand out until they were compelled toeat the soles from the shoes on their feet.” At Painter works the officials report an increased force. ing served on the Painter cokers. One hundred notices of this character have been prepared. Four strikers’ families were evicted at Summit. Some of the strikers’ families are well nigh starved. Last evening Mine Boss Sautemyer, of McClure’s works, was shot at by a Polish striker. The bullet grazed his head. ANNA WRITES TO TRAIN. “It Is Talking I Do Mean to Do Myself, and Soon.” ' NEW YORK, April 15.—George Francis Train has received a letter from Anna Dickinson, whose charges that she was confined in an insane asylum illegally created such a stir. Here is the letter: DR. SEWARD‘S HOME, _ GOSHEN, N. Y., April 12. l Dear Old Friend, George Francis Train, Conti- nental Hotel, N.

I will be in New York before long, and I hope you will see me then. Faithfully yours, ANNA E. DICKINSON. Found Dead in the Cellar. SAN FRANCISCO, April 15.——About twc weeks ago a woman, whose name is un- known, moved into a. store on Stockton street, and yesterday her dead body was found in the cellar underneath the store. The trap door, which is the only entrance to the cellar, was covered with a heavy stone. There are no wounds on the body, but the supposition is that the woman was murdered. On a photograph of the dead woman was found the name “Mrs. B0116 of Denmark.” The neighbors say that on Monday the woman had a violent quarrel with a young man who visited her. The police are investigating the case. Grand Army Whispers. MILWAUKEE, Wis., April 15. — Uncle Jerry Rusk and err-Department Com~ mander A. G.
