w- DANIEL DEAD.
Distinguished Virginian Succumbs to
Paralytic Stroke.
Lynchburg, June 29.?John W.
Daniel, senior senator from Virginia
^ and for more than 30 years Virginia's
favorite son, died at the
Lynchburg sanitarium at 10:25
o'clock to-nigh* his death being due
to a recurrence of paralysis. The immediate
cause of death was a cerberal
hemorrhage sustained at
noon to-day, involving the right side.
- This is in addition to the paralysis
of the left side which was sustained
it, TTlnririn for his
lCU>t nmiu nunt/ iu ? .v.
health.
His Illness.
The statesman's illness began
, with a slight attack of apoplexy in
Philadelphia last October, and kept
jr him from reaching his seat at the
opening of congress last December,
j Only once since that had he appeared
before an audience and that was
for an informal talk in January. The
end was almost without a struggle.
Indeed the family present could not
notice the slight struggle which was
noticed by Dr. Waugh.
Dissolution was very rapid for
when the final and complete failure
v of heart action began it progressed
rapidly and in five minutes the patient
was dead.
Those present at the end were:
Mrs. Daniel and daughter, Mrs. Har3*
>. per, and son, Arther M. Daniel, Fred
Harper, Mrs. S. W. Hallsey, the only
sister of the deceased, and her sons,
State Senator D. P. Hallsey and Warwick
Hallsey, and Dr. Waugh.
Soon after the senator's death, the
^ 1 1 * 1 J J ^ J wiAn f A
t widow ana aaugmer hcic umcu w
the latter's home.
To-night the city fire alarm was
sounded for half an hour at intervals
^ of 30 seconds, notifying the city of
the statesman's death.
The sergeant-at-arms of the senate
was notified first of the death and
then the family sent numerous messages,
after which the members went
> * to their homes.
At midnight a decision had been
reached by the family that the funeral
would be held Friday, although
the hour had not been decided
upon."
Aware of Condition.
" ;V '
, No change was noted until nearly
noon. He had slept fairly well during
the past night The family was
fully aware of his condition. At no
time had there been any hope of his
recovery.
Late in February Maj. Daniel accompanied
by his nepnew and secre*
tary, Warwick Daniel, went to Florida
in the hope that mild temperature
there would be of great benefit
to him. No special point was named
S as the destination, but he expected
to visit a number of places. At Daytona
he was stricken with paralysis
' on March 8. First, his son and Fred
. y Harper went to Daytona, taking Dr.
E. A. Waugh with them, and on
March 15 Mrs. Daniel and her daughV
ter, Mrs. Fred Harper, went to Daytona,
remaining there with Maj.
L Daniel until the morning of April
the 23, when the start was made for
Lynchburg. This trip was made over
; * the Florida East Coast and the
Southern railways in the private car
of President Finley of the Southern
railway. Upon his arrival here he
was taken to the sanitarium, where
he was under the care of Dr. Waugh
constantly until his death.

GRAFT CASES CONTINUED.
Judge Shipp Accedes to Motion Over C
Lyon's Protest.
Florence, June 29.?Nelson and
Gettys. of Columbia, attorneys for ct
H. L. Solomon and John Black, ap- re
peared here to-day before Judge S. tr
W. G. Shipp, at chambers, and made rc
a motion for a continuance of the
graft cases that were to come up for
trial at me J uiv term ut tuuii. at
Chester next week.
Attorney General Lyon was on
hand and made a strenuous effort opposing
the continuance. After a full
hearing of the reasons for the motion,
Judge Shipp granted the request
on the ground that John Black
has just undergone a serious operation
for appendicitis and will be confined
to the hospital probably for
several weeks, and the illness of P.
H. Nelson, one of the counsel in- l,
terested.- The attorneys returned to tc
Columbia to-night. cc
Attorney General Lyon will not ,.j
join the campaign party to-morrow. ]j]

Attorney General Lyon returned
last night from Florence. He said tj,
that he consented to the argument ol
before Judge Shipp for a continu- jance
of the graft trials for the rea- ^
son that' he wished to know before
the trials whether or not a continuance
would be granted. He was ^
ready with the case of the State. .
Should the continuance have been ^
asked and granted on the first day *
of court in Chester it would have ^
meant a loss of several hundred dollars
to the State in bringing witnesses
to South Carolina for the ^
trial. It was for this reason that
the attorney general consented to ,

Deafness Cannot be Cured sv
by local applications, as they cannot ta
reach the diseased portion of the ear. t0
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional K
remedies. Deafness is caused by an ct
inflamed condition of the mucous lln- tb
ing of the eustachian tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have- a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and ca
when it is entirely closed, deafness is M
U aw/I' InflonrtTYio. 4.V,
IUC I coun, auu uuivco uuv a&aumaju&um lli
tion can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine ba
cases out of ten are caused by ca- ar
tarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by sij

1,035,545 Aliens Admitted. ^
Washington, July 1.?An estimate qv
that the total number of immigrant nc
aliens admitted at all ports of the vj
United States during the past fiscal
reached 1,035,545, was made by
Commissioner General Keefe to-day.
This is an increase of 283,529 over
the number of immigrant aliens admitted
last year. W)
The non-immigrant aliens admit- Si
ted that is, those coming to the al
United States temporarily, only P1
reached 145,421, which is a falling
off of 47,028, while the total num- UI
ber of all persons debarred during su
the year was 24,000. Last year only ve
11,000 were debarred. cr
The remarkable increase in num- cb
ber of those debarred is looked upon
from different standpoints among immigrant
officials. Some claim that
the class of immigrants is not as high
as it was a year ago.
