Eua-ene Francis Loud, from 1890 to 1802 repre sentative In congress from the Fifth congressional district of California, died at his home In this city Saturday night, following a stroke of apoplexy. His last : Ulness was very grief, and his death, though he had attained the age pf 61 years, was quite unexpected.

Mr. Loud was one of the charter members of the Ancient Order of United workmen. He was also a prominent Mason and one of the foremost mem bers of the Orand Army of the Re public. The decedent had a brilliant army record during the civil war. Ha was one of the most arrint ad vocates of reform in the postal service In the interest of the elimination of wasteful policies and the extpnalnn of the service.
