PULLMAN DICS SUDDENLY AT HIS BOIE Wt VUH&0AGO. ..*** Pailkee 0Wy1-&NW6te and A-%nder of the fown or pulmau-ne Etimar Sed YOrtu ae-Wife and on'Abment. * Chicago, Oct. 19.-GeofgPM. Full man, the palace car magnate, died at his res-4enoe, Eighteenth street and Prairie avenue, this city, at 5 o'clocV this morning. Mr. Pullman, who wee in his 60th year, had not boon enjo, iing his usaal good health during the summer. The extreme heat of last week great ly aggravated his disease, known to medicaloscience as angint pectoris. But no serious trouble was anicipat ed. Mr. Pullman was at his office i1 in the Pullman building daily .q dined yesterday with friends dt his club. Later in the evening' ie re marked having a slight pain in the back. He retired at-his usual early hour. At 4'66lock members of his . oW61Eofd were awakened by a dis. turbance in Mr. Pullman's chamber, and upon entering found him stand ing in the contre of the room, dazed and apparently suffering excruciat ing pains in the region of his heart. Rev. R. V. Eaton, who was visiting Mr. Pullman, called Dr. Frank Bill ings, the family physician. Restora tives were applied, but to no pur pose and at 5 o'clock the millionaire manufacturer and philanthropist passed away without speaking and with scarcely a struggle. Mrs. Pullman, who with her two sons-Georgo and Sanger-has been on an eastern tour, was wired at once and no funeral arrangements will be made until she arrives. George M. Pullman came to Chi. cago in 1859. He at once took a roninent place in business circles. In 1880, owing to the growing de mands of his manufacturing inter ets, he put into execution a pet theory for the establishment of a "model town" as a home for his car works and the thousands of employes. A site was selected on the shores of Lake Calumet, 12 miles south o.1 Chicago. Mr. Pullman devoted his personal attention to the erection of the little city and succeeded even be yond his own expectations in making it a model town. Pullman now has a population of 11,000. Mr. Pullman's wealth is variously estimated at from $12,000,000 to $80 000,000. His financial interests were confined to a few corporations, -the bulk of the holdings being stock in the hitllman Palace Car company, bf which he owned about one.fiftli. Some stock was also held in Diamond Match and New York Biscuit. These securities were somewhat affected by the news of Mr. Pullman's death, but the declines were quickly re covered. Mr. Pullman was married in 1807 toMiss Hattie Sangor of Chicago. F"our children are living-George, Sanger, Harriet and Florence. The latter was married to Frank 0. Low den of this city two years ago.

'r a Joke With a Moral at the Expense of Gotham. Governor Bob Taylor's welcoming address at Nashville oi New York day, October 12, is good raading in the south outside of Tennessee. Since the expositi<n opened, Gover nor Taylor has made on an average about three welcoming addresses a week. He never repeats himself, and his resources never fail. Of elo quence, wit, humor and pathos the Governor fer.as to have an inexhaus tible "original package." We give an extract from the New York day addresh: Mr. President, Ladies and Gen temen: New York is the Empire State ot the Union. She is the great throbbing heart..of.the Repub lic, and every Ltime she throbs the life current of the nation flows back and forth through the arteries of ,commerce and trade. She is the mighty whale of the Western hemis phore whichswallows all the Jonahs who come w thin her reach. She is the stupendous colossus of the world, leading its thought and straddling its politics. The city of New York is a per petual exposition of the triumpbs of thought and industry, and one of her grandest products is men. She is the paradise of millionaires and enjoys a considerable sprinkling of poor folks. New York is not only great in wealth, great in population, .great in all the elements of modern civiliza tion, but she is great in the knowl edge of where the green pastures lie. Her relations with the South remind me of an old story which has been of a river fishing. One was an old darky, the other was a boy. The boy got a nibble, his foot slip ped, and he fell headlong in the surging waters. 'Tlho old darky hesitated" a moment, and then plunged in after. the drowning boy. There was a terrific struggle, but finally the old man succeeded in landing his half drowned charge. A passerby, who witnessed the nceno, ran up and patted Uncle Rastus on the back and said: "Old man, that was a noble deed in you to risk your life in that way to save the life of that trifling boy." "Yes, boss, "said Uncle Rastus, "I was bleegod to save that nigger, he had all the bait in his pocket." New York was the old man, the South is the boy. iovertholoas we love the old brother, and we open our hearts and our bottles to the distinguished lieu tenant Governor and .overy son of that proud common-wealth. * * * * * * Mr. Ohairman, it is believed by many of our brethren of the North that our people here in the South are not as vigorons as we should be, that we lack the snap and push necessary for the quick and perma nent growth and development of our country. But they forget that we can raise three crops of potatoes in our soil in a single season, that our cotton grows without much persua sion, that we can fatten our hogs on acorns, and pasture our cattle the year around. They forget that our persimmon trees yield tons of per simmons per annum, and that our 'possums hang like sugar plums of gJory hallelejah from the bending limbs of the aforesaid and the same. Tlhey forgot that we can labor half the time and rest the other half and live happier aud better than any other people on the face of the earth. I think if we could get our New York friends to see the point and furnish the money to develop us, we could soon pay the expenses of tiAO whole government, feed and clothe the entire United States, have money left to throw at the birds, and rest all the time. There is one b)ranch of business in which we are as vigorous as our northern brethren, and that is poli tics. Our annual crop of politicians is equal to the crop of cotton bales, not in weight, but in nunibers. Now and then we are blessed with a states man; but n. .ny are called, but few are chosen.

Stroblo soized their stock of liquors on the ground that they sold to Chailes McCoy, a drunkard, and that some of the jugs or pack atges woro not labelled. Judge Simonton, in his decision, hold that it was not necessary for the pitckages to have boon labelled. The goods woro carried under con tract. in original packagos and deliv ored to consignors. On tho issuo nf solling to a drunk ard, ho hold that thoro was much conflicting evidenco. Some of the witnesses swore ho was not drunk. Others say he was not drunk at the timo ho mado tho purchase, but was soon after. "The party making the sale must either know or havo substantial rea son to boliovo the man was drunk.
