Mc-Elroy - Vublic Hllding' Draped in 3Iourniung. Nw YoRK, November 1.-Ex Presi dent Chester A. Arthur died at 5 o'clock this morning, at his residence, No. 12: .exington avenue. He had been ailing for some time from a complication of diseases, principally kidney affectiUn. He spent the summer at a watering place, and it was supposed that this had strengthened somewhat his enfeebled constitution. His death was unexpected, it not being supposed outside his house that he was in any immediate danger. As soon as the news of Mr. Arthur's death was made public many flags on public and private buildings were placed at half mast. Mr. Arthur had lived at No. 123 Lexington avenue for twenty years or more. A stroke of cerebral apoplexy suddenly, but not wholly un expected by the attending physician, terminated his life. The stroke came in his sleep, bctween Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, and' he did not ially thereafter. His death was painless and slow, like the going out of a burned down candle, and for hours before the end came he was unconscious to his stir roundings. His son and daughter, his sister, his former law partner, Sherman W. Knevals, and his closest friend, Sur rogate Rollins, were at his bedside. All reports to the contrary, Mr. Ar thur's health has not improved during his stay at New London six weeks ago, and at his return on October 1st he was no better than when he left the city. As the time passed no permanent improve ment came, and the physicians feared some such sudden stroke as the one to which he succumbed. in his enfeebled condition even a light stroke of apoplexy would prove fatal to the once robust patient. With the beginning of the present week a marked change for the better set in. On Tuesday the ex-Presi dent felt better and stronger than at any time since he was taken sick, and com mented hopefully upon the fact. It was after midnight when his at tendant left him alone in his bedroom, and nothing was heard of him during the early morning hours. He was noi disturbed until his attendant entered hi room at 8 o'clock yesterday morning. He found Mr. Arthur lying on his side, breathing heavily and could not roust him. The family answered his sum. mons, but failed to elicit any sign o consciousness or recognition from tL ex-President. In their alarm they sum moned his physician, Dr. George A. Peters, who has been in attendance upor Mr. Arthur throughout his illness, anc who responded promptly and at onc< saw that he was suffering from astroke ol cerebral apoplexy. A small blood vesse: in the brain had burst and paralysis oj the right side had ensued. From tht moment this discovery was made al hope was known to be of no avail, bul no efforts were spared to bring the pa tient back to consciousness. They wer all alike a failure. Mr. Arthur lay mo tionless and speechless all day. He knev what was going on about him, for h( squeezed his doctor's hand and put ou1 his tongue partly when asked to do so, but he never spoke or gave any othe: sign of consciousness. Last night at 6 o'clock an enfeebles pulse, more difficult respiration ani other signs of physical failure indicatel to the watchful eyes of his physician that the end was drawing near. Th change forthe worse came on rapidly ad his sister and children gathered a hi besie D)r Wmn. A. Valentine. - iDr. Peters's pater,- and Surrogate -Mol6ins staye with them during th< "-Ei it. 3r. Knevals went-home at mid nigt. Mr. Arthur's strength ebbed oui slowly and with it his life. It was. o'clock when the end came. He had been entirely senseless for hours, ani - died without a struggle.

Reed, the latter's conti dential secretary. It was received at the White House about 9 o'clock, and merel: stated that General Arthur died thi: morning. The President was verymucl shocked at the intelligence, and at onet indited the following telegram of sym pathy tor. Mc~roy, the ex-Presi dent's sister: "Accept my heartfelt sympathy ni your personal grief and the expresson o: sorrow for the death of one who was m' kind and considerate friend. The peo ple of the country will sincerely mour the loss of a citizen who served then well in their highest trust and won thei aitretion by an exhibition of the bes traits of true American character. "GnovR CL.nvEwIM. The flag on the White House wai placed at hialf-miast immediately on re ceipt of the news, and soon after th< flags on all the public buildings in th< city were also placed at half-mast, au arrangements also made for draping th< public buildings. The work of drapmn1 the White House was begun before 1: o'clock. Secretary Bayard heard of the ss President's death about 11 o'clock, ani proceeded directly to the White Hous< to confer 'with the President as to th< proper course to be pursued. All th< other members of the Cabinet arrive< sout 12 o'clock. The death of ex-Pr-esi dent Arthur was the only subject of dis cussion at the Cabinmet meeting, andr was agreed to ismie an executive orde: announcing the death of the ex-Presi dent and directing the publie building: to be draped in mourning for a per-iod o thirty days, and also that public busines: be suspended on the day set apart fo: the funeral. President Cleveland subsequently n sued a proclamation announcing thi death of ex-Presidient Arthur, orderin] that tile Executive mm'ion and depart ment buildings be draped in mourni for thirty days, and that public busines in the departments be suspended on th< day of the funeral. Ex-Secretary Boutwell to-day an nonnced in the Court of Claims th< death of ex-President Arthur, and the court adjourned until Monday as a mar] of respect to' the deceased.

President Cleveland and several men bers of the Cabinet will leave here Fri day night for New York to attend the funeral of ex-President Arthur. Senator Sherman will appoint a committee of Senators to attend the funeral. POSTPONING TR FUNEIIAL. In perfecting the arrangements for the fiun.end of ex-President Arthur, it has been determined to change the date of the ceremony until the morning of Mon day. November 22. in order to allow time for the -arrival of several of the members of his Cabinet and other persons of dis tMenlon. A n,10GRAI'le A 1,SKETCH. Chester Allan Arthur was born in Fairfield, Franklin County. Vermont. on October 5, 1830. He was'the son of the Rev. Wm. Arthur, a Baptist clergyman, who came to America at the age of 18 from the County Antrim, Ireland. Ex President Arthur's early education was acquired in the schools of Vermont, and he finished his education at Union Col lege, Schenectady, from which he was graduated in 1849, taking a prominent position in his class. After teaching school for a few years he studied law, and having been admitted to the bar lie formed a copartnership with Henry D. (ardiner, which was eminently success ful. Ex-President Arthur was associated with Mr. William M. Evarts in theicele brated Jonathan Lemmons case in 1852, in which the liberation of eight fugitive slaves was sustained by the Supreme Court of the United States, the argu ments on that position having been made by Evarts and Arthur. Mr. Arthur early took an active inte rest in politics as a Henry Clay Whig, and was a delegate to the convention at Saratoga, which founded the Republican party of New York. In 1860 lie was ap pointed engineer in chief on the staff of ( overnor Morgan, of New York, and was afterwards made Inspector General and Quartermaster General, which last office he held until 1863. In 1865 Mr. Arthur returned to his law practice, and soon became engaged in politics, having been appointed Collector of the Port of New York in 1871, and was reappointed to that office in 1875. In 1877 President Hayes ordered Mr. Arthur to resign his party position as Chairman of the Republican Central Committee of New York, with which order Mr. Arthur refused to comply. He was therefore suspended from oflice in 1878 and his successor confirmed by the Sc-nate, although the special committees appointed to investigate Mr. Arthur's otlicial conduct found nothing on which to base a charge of dereliction. He was a zealous supporter of the claims of General Grant to the Republi can nomination to the Presidency in 1880, and, after the defeat of Grant, was himself nominated by acclamation to the -c Presidency, with Garfield as Presi d at. On the assassination of Garfield, in July, 1881, Arthur succeeded to the Presidency, which position he held until the election of President Cleveland in 1884. .NICKELS AND PE NNIE,. Ti: 'resent bupply Unequal to the Demand of the Great Citien. Dr. Kinball. Director of the 31int. stated, in relation to the present great demand for pennies and five-ecnt pieces, that the coin age of pieces of these denominations is ex e(uted at the Philadelphia Mint, but was suspeuded on Febirary 16, 1-5, by order of Secretary McCulloch, on the ground that the amount outstanding wais redun dent. In September last an unprecedented] demand arose for these coins, which soon exhausted the $56.000 worth which had Ibeen transferred from the sub-treasuries to Ithe MIint at Philadelphia for cleaning and re-isue. Since that time the work of striking new pieces has gone on without interruption to the full capacity of the mint, over and above the mandatory coiai age of the silver dollar, and in order to in crease the output of minor coins, the Phil adelphia 3Mint's quota of silver dollars has been redu'-ed. and the quota at San Fran cisco an'd New Orleans increased. The circulation of pennies is connined to locaities where odd change is exacted by -aya' of street railway fares, etc., and espe Icialy by the extraordinary increase of late, et only in the large cities, but in towns nd villages of shops whose policy it is to n i prices at odd amounts-that is to say, a: prices not corresponding to denoini tioas of subsidiary coin. Another eccen tricity in the use of pennies in such stores is the preference given to coin fresh from the mimi, the use of which in change is supposed to be pleasing to customers. 'rTe director is now endeavoring to ascer tain the total active circulation of pennies and five-cent pieces, and estimates that not iesw than $7,000,000) worth are now in active circulation in the United States. The mint at Philadelphia is now turning ouit minor coin to the value of $3,000 a day. The demand for these coins is to-day sonme $:(&J260) ahead of the supply. This amount will soon be made up and the pub. li want will be ftlly met. White Th: re is Life There ist Hope.

Lee lived in retirement, devoting their atten tion to the tilling of the soil and seeking no public notice. All at once, within the last few years, they have come forward, and just now it seems that they will soon have a large share of the good things in the way of oflices. General Fitzhugh is Governor and has still higher aspirations. He is already looking with a longing eye upon tie seat of Senator Riddleberger. and from the present indications it would scei that his longing is likely to be gratitied. The next Legislature is sure to be Democratic, and there is hardly a man in the State who would enter into a contest with General Fitzhugh. General Runy, his cousin, is Congress man elect, and as it is the custom to re turn a member two or three times in his district, he has a good lease of office be fore him. His small majority this time will not hurt him, since it was due to the security felt by his friends. Two other Lees are now looming up and will proba blv shine in the political firmament in tle near future. One is General Custis Lee, brother of Runy. He has never before dabbled with p3litics, but since the recent elevation of members of his family it is said that he is waking up to ambition. According to the programme of the Lee entlusiasts, he is to succeed Fitzhugh in the Governor's chair three years since. This arrangement is a very pretty one if it can be carried cut, as Fitzhugh, by the Constitution of the State, cannot be re-elected, and his term ..f oflice will expire just about the time Riddleberger's seat becomes vacant. So if the Governor steps into the United States Senate and Custis into the Execu tive MIansion at Richmond, there will be no interregnum of the Lees. Few people in Virginia know that there is a fourth Lee who is likelyto bob upi into politics. He is a brother of the Governor and lives a very quiet farming life down on the Potomac, in Staftord County. He has never run for any office, nor lhas lie ever taken part in any politi al canvass. Now, it is said, he is to be brought forward, partly as a means of further honoring the Lee family and partly to punish State Senator W. E. MIeredith, of Prince William. Meredith, it will be remembered, was General Lee's most bitter opponent in the Cong-res sional Convention, and his course came very near defeating the General. Now the Lee men propose to have the Gov ernor's brother nominated in place of 3eredith for State Senator in the Alex andria district next year, and thus ac complish a double purpose. If political conditions do not change soon, the whole prormme for the ele vation of tihe Lees can be carried out. The Governor can go to the Senate; Cus tis can take his place; Runy can stay in the House, and the obscure Stafford brother can go to the State Senate. The only persons who object to this arrange ment are the working-men of the State, who do not take well to the old families. Dit orced, and H enumnen Her .3taidcu Namec. 31rs. Elizabeth E.
