As early a? 6 o'clock last night the doctors r had pronounced him a dying man, and li soon there sitter tbe rigor* of approucblog death Organ to creep upon him. The ad- p ministration of powerful stimulants was maintained until 7 o'clock, but with no ef- n (ect. It was seen that the end was near at hand and those nearest and dearest to' the ttie president were summoned for the offices t of the last farewell. He came out of a stupor about 7 o'clock and f; while bis mind was partially cear there oocurred the last endearments, the last submls- u slon of the Batterer to t he will of the Almigh- u ty, the lust murmured 'expressions from his dying lips and the last, goodb.vs. In this p Interval of consciousness Mrs. McIOnley was brought Into the death chamber. Tbe president had asked to see her. She camo aDd sat beside blm, held his hsnd, and heard from him his last words of encouragement and k comfort. Then sbe was led away and not d | again during his living hours did she see ti blm. c The president himself fully realized that his hour had come and his mind turned to tl his Maker. He whispered feebly "Nearer, v My God, to Thee," the words of the hymn always dear to his heart. Then ii* faint accents he murmured "goodby all, goouby. It is God's way. H is will be done, not ours." s With this sublime display of Christian fortitude the president soon after lapsed into w unconsciousness. s Flags Fly at Hair Mattt. ^ New York, Sept. 14.?The tolling of ,bells A about 3 o'clock this morning apprised the & people of this city of the death of President McKluley.
