Before, Death Funeral Private
Great Loss to Princeton.
Princeton. N. J., June 24 Grover
Cleveland, twice president of the
United States, died at 8:40 o'clock this
morning at his home, Westlaud, in
this quiet college town, where he had
lived since his retirement as the na
tion's chief executive, almost 12 years
When death came, which was sud
den, there were in the death chamber
on the second floor of the Cleveland
residence, Mrs Cleveland, Dr. Joseph
D. Bryant, of New York. Mrs. Cleve
land's family physician and personal
friend; Dr George K. Lockwood. also
of Xew York, and Dr. John M. Car
nochan, of Princeton.
An official statement, civen out and
signed by the three physicians, gave
heart trouble, superinduced by stom
ach and kidney ailments of long
standing, as the cause of death.
While Mr. Cleveland had been in
poor health for the last two years,
and had lost 100 pounds in weight,
his death came unexpectedly Some
three weeks ago he was brought home
from Lake wood, where his condition
for a time was such that the hotel at
which he was staying was kept open
after its regular season because he
was too ill to be moved. Hut when
Mr Cleveland was brought back to
Princeton, he showed signs of im
provement, and actually gained five
pounds in weight
Although confined to his room con
tinuously after his return to Prince
ton, it was not until yesterday that
Mr Cleveland's condition aroused un
easiness on the part of Mrs. Cleve
land. Undoubtedly affected by the
heat. Mr Cleveland showed signs of
failure, and Mrs. Cleveland tele
phoned to Dr. Bryant, who came over
from New York on the train arriving
here at 4:21 P. M.
Mr Cleveland became worse during
the night, and Mrs. Cleveland was
called to his bedside The distin
guished patient sank into unconscious
ness, from which he recovered at
times, only to suffer a relapse This
continued throughout the night and
early morning. The last time he be
came unconscious was about two
hours before he died Death was
peaceful. Just before he died Mr.
Cleveland sought to say something.
but his words were inaudible.

Professor Inherits Fortune.
South Dend, Ind., June 23. Falling
heir to an estate estimated to be
worth from $500,ooo to $2,000,000,
Professor A. R. Reynolds, of this city,
formerly professor of Latin at Notre
uame university, nas given up icacn
ing The exact value of the property
cannot be ascertained at this time,

ever, has been developed sufficiently
to remove all doubt of Reynolds being
one of the richest men of the Pacific
Northwest. Most of the property is
in mines in Southern Idaho.

Fraud Charge.
New York, lune 20 With the
practical close of the actual recount
ing of the votes cast in the. last
mayoralty contest today, came
charges by Clarence J Shearn, coun
sel for V K. Hearst, that ballot
boxes had 'been stuffed. When Mr
Hearst began his legal contest for
the mayor's office, now occupied by
George H McClellan. he had a p'u
rality of 3,3l votes to overcome The
returns from the contents of only 46
out of a total of l.uss ballot boxes
remained to be recounted when court
adjourned today.
As the recount stands with the
contents of 40 boxes unreported. Mr
Hearst has made a net gain of 03,
leaving a plurality 'of 2,91 for Mr
McClellan
Mr. Shearn said that his client
would still be able to prove fraud suf
ficiently glaring to invalidate Mr Mc
Clellan s title to his office Counsel
for Mr McClellan declared that lilt
charge of ballot-box stuffing was
baseless.

two years since the first discoveries of

still no mine has been opened up
Most f the good prospects are owned

this has not been the case, some ol
them arc letting go now, and the
properties arc passing into the hands
of practical mining men This spring
a number of capitalists and turn of
experience in mining have visited this

cured either leases or options on some
