Friends tTntrh at lliu lledstde Scenes During the Last Hours Ho rcncfiilly 1'iimcs Away to That Land llcjond. Ni:v OitiiKANS, Dec. 0. At 12:45 o'clock this morning, Jcd'crson Davis, cx-prcsldont of tbc Coufeil crato States, illeil at the resilience of of his life-long frlqml, J. U. Payne. From tho beginning of his fatal Illness Mr. Davis had insisted that his case was hoflcss, tuugh the dread of paiu or the fear of death never appeared to take tho slightest hold upon his spirits. In valu did tho doctors strlvo to impress upon him that his health was improving. Ho steadily insisted that thcro was no improvement, but with Chrlstaln resignation ho was content to ac cept whatever Providenco had in store forliim, and patiently awaited tho end. At 0 (o'clock last evening, without any assignable cause, Mr. Davis was seized with a congestive chill, which seemed for a timo to absolutely crush tho vitality out of his already en feebled body. So weak was Mr. Davis that the violence of tho as sault soon subsided for lack of vital ity upon which to prey. From that moment to tho moment of his death tho history of tho caso was that of gradual sinking. At 7 o'clock Mrs. Davis adminis tered some medicine, but tho ex president declined to receive the whole dose. She urged upon him tho necesity of taking the lemaln der, but putting it aside with a gon tlo gesture, ho whispered ''pray ex cuse me," Thcso wero tho last words ho was heard to utter. Gradually ho grow weaker and weaker, but never for an instant did ho seem to loso con sciousness. Lying peacefully upon his bed and wlhout a traco of pain in his look, he remained for hours silently clasping and tenderly ca ressing his wife's hand. From tho dread assault of tho congestlvo chill those gathered about tho bedsldo who had been watching and notlug with paiful interest every change of symtomFor the past month ho know full well that tho dread messenger was at tho door. About half-past 10 o'clock Asso ciate Justlco Fenner went to tho French opera house to call to Mr. Davis's bedsldo Mr. and Mrs. Far rar and Mrs. Stamps. As soon as tho message reached them they hurried to tho bedsldo of tho dying ox presldcnt. , By half-past 11 o'clock there wero assembled in tho death chamber Mrs. Davis, Drs. Chaillo and ttickhum, Associate Justice and Mrs. Fenner, Miss Nannie Smith, grandnieco of tho dying mau, and Mr. and Mrs, E. n. Farrar.

More and more feeble bocamo his respirations, till they passed into sllenco, and then the watchers knew that tho silver chord had been loosed and tho father of tho Confederacy was no more. Despite the fact that tho end had come- slowly and peacefully, and after she hud been fuco to face with tho dread reality, tho blow fell with crushing force upon tho allllctod widow, Ah long as tuure had been work for either head or hands slit hud borne up. bravely, and not mill, llio uses for her tender ministration Hero lost did hIio beem to realize Hit terrible forcu of tho blow thut had fallen upon her.

T ' SEW ELECTRIC SYSTEM, .V Car Which Does Away With Oor head Wires. New York, Dec. 6.- Harrv W. Smith, a Newark Inventor, has con structed an electric railroad on one of tho wharves of that city to demon strato a new principle melectrlo iiujHiitiou. ii not only noes away with overhead wires but with con tinuous current as fll. It is n conduit system, but tho conduit is without a slot and Is practically water tight and air tight. To keep it dry a blower or exhaust fan will keep air constantly circulating through it. Tho conduit is placed midway between the rails and In tho full-sized model it is mado of wood with it series of heavy brass plates on top. In tho bottom of the conduit is a copper strip lusulated from tho conduit. Tho brass strips forming tho cover of tho conduit are four or llvo feet iu length, and aro rubbed by copper brushes which conduct the current to tho motor In tho car. There Is no flow of current outside of tho conduit except directly under tho car. Elsewhere tho current is flowing peacefully along tho copper rod Iiftho bottom of tuocondu.it. Connection between the copper rod and brass plates is formed by permanent magnets preccdlngtho brushes under tho car. Thescj m neta pick up succcsslvo pallets!; levers In tho conduit, and tudollctfl form contact between tho n&jSnu tho plates. As spoil as thouar pusses ono of tho strips tho lovers drojyof their own weight and break circuit In tho conduit. Ono of tlio rails is used to form tho other half of tho metallic circuit, as in overhead sys tems. Mr. Smith's model car carries six persons rapidly, with a current measuring sovonty volts. A practi cal road is to bo put down In one of tho suburbs of Newark. WALLA WALLA. Narrow Escape From a lllg Fire An Armed Miinluo Overpowornd. Walla Walla, Dec. 5. A man was found dead drunk on tho O. & W. T. track above Pendleton, ashpit time boforo tho arrrlval of tho tnjlm Ho was lying dlieclly across 'llio rails, and would havo been cut to pieces had ho not been discovered In time. Ho was removed to tlio town. Tho flro department turned out this aft6ruoon in answer to an alarm rung In from tho commissary de partment of Hunt's railroad. Tlio flro started from a defective-lluuf nnd was extinguished before tho cpglncs got there. It was a narrow escape, and if onco fairly started, would havo been a big lire, as besides tho big warehouses, tho mammoth Northern Pacific giiilu elevator close by, would also have been destroyed. Thomas Scholsey, who was run over by the train at Wilbur, was taken to Pendleton as soon as possi ble, and died yesterday morning. tclcuranll Yesterday tho east-bound express from Portland brought a passenger who had a belt aiouud his waist holding two big horse pistols and a bowle knife a foot long; who held passengers and trainmen on the rack until Pendleton was reached, whcti ho was overpowered and arrested by ShctiiTHouseruud assistants on a charge of Insanity. When tlio olll cers boarded tho train tho maniac had Drakemun Ancnsley stood up on tho platform, a cocked pistol pointed at him, tlio trlggerof which he pulled as tho men seized', him. One ol the men grabbed tlio pistol, the hammer coming dou'n on his Hand, Ho was humidified and taken to Jail awatiug examination. Nothing Is know n of the num. Ho is said to have come fiom Vaklma, out boarded the train at Portland with u ticket to Now York.
