GONE FROM EARTH. Henry Ward Beecher At Post. The Noted Grooklyn Divine Passes Away Quietly. —— Unconscious to the Last and Without Any Pain. ——+e+. New York, March 8.—The Rey. Henry Ward Beecher died at 9:30 o’clock this morning in the presence of the members ot his tamily It was evident at an early hour this morning that Mr. Beecher could survive but a short time and Dr. Searle, who was with him, so ap- prised the family- They all assem- bled in the sick room awaiting the ending and were weeping and sob bing so they could be heard all through the house. Dr. Searle stood by, the bedside holding one of Mr. Beecher’s hands and atg:30 he said: “Mr. Beecher is no more. He is dead.” It 18 difficult to describe the scene at this moment. Notwithstanding the fact that his death was looked tor, that it had been expected hourly, at seemed to come with such crush- ing force that the tamily were per- fectly prostrated with grief. They could not bring themselves to the sad realization that the kindly voice of the husband, father and grand- father was forever hushed in death and that they had only the remem- brances of his kind admonitions, q NO RETURN OF CONSCIOUSNESS. Mrs, Beecher, who had borne up so bravely trom the first and who had watched so constantly at the bedside of her dying husband, was utterly broken down, and was sup- ported by her son, Harry, as she tottered from the room. She looked as it st would not be long betore she would follow her husband. The news of Mr. Beecher’s death spread quickly to all parts of the city, and Brooklyn was soon a city of mourning. As a mark of respect q to the deceased’s memory flags on all the public buildings were placed at halt mast and Mayor Whitney had the city hall bell tolled. The tuneral will take place Thurs- day, the services peing held at the house at 9:30 and at the church at 11:30. It was the wish of the tami- ly that the funeral should be as quiet as possible. There will be no black drapery in the church er house, nor will the family wear mourning. Many times Mr. Beecher had said in his sermons: “‘Strew flowers on my grave, but let no heathenish practice prevail of draping in black as a token of sor- row when a man has just passed through death to eternal lite.’’ The following among the tele- # grams was received: Executive Mansion, Wasnnc- Ton, D. C., March 8, 1887.—Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher : Accept my heartfelt sympathy in this hour ot your bereavement, with the hope that comfort may be vouchsated from the heavenly source you know so well, Grover CLevetanp. LONDON PAPER COMMENTS. : London, March 8.—The Daily § News, commenting upon the death 3 of Mr, Beecher, says: ‘tHe leaves RO system, either of theology or church goyernment. His influence, except as a personal recollection, ends with his life. He was for Americans the great expositor of his time. He was'a great Preacher and _Rothing but a preacher.” The Telegraph says: ‘No preach- er and no platform orator in Ameri- ca put More intensity of heart into his discourses than the man whose clarion voice rang every Sunday in Plymouth church With all his faults—and they were many—it is dqubtful it America will ever pro. ducé another Beecher.’ The Standard says: “Beecher was one of comparatively few Amer- : icans enjoying a world-wide repu- R tation. Having peculiar exceptional gifts tor the ministry bis capacity tor work was amazing.”* LIFE OF THE DIVINE. Henry Ward Beecher was born in | ne, Connecticut, June 24, S13.

W. Knapp, Jack Lahoe, N. Matson, W. A. Frush, Charles Flack, Milt Walton, Willam Moore, Charles Zacrist. Jos. Zacrist, George Wheat, William Howard and Jno, Strearns. Warrants were sworn out tora number of others but they could not be tound. Since the day of the murder Cor- onada has been ina constant stage of siege, a guard of 200 armed men from Leot: having been placed around the town to prevent the murders trom escaping. The 1n- habitants threw up breastworks, dug rifle pits and prepared for attack. Campbell arrived at Leoti Mon- day morning, looked matters over with both factions and told the par- ties accused that it they did not sur- render he would call the militia. The men surrendered Tuesday at- ternoon, started for Garden City and traveled all night. A portion of the prisoners are here, but the others were taken to Dodge City. a regiment, an office to which he was elected hy the 13th regiment, national guard, in 1878. In 1871 one ot his parishioners, Mr. Henry W: Soge, tounded a lectureship of preaching called ‘‘The Lyman Beecher Lectureship,” in Yale col- lege divinity school, and the first three annual courses were delivered by Mr. Beecher. In the summer ot 1874 Theodore Tilton, tormerly Mr. Beecher’s as- sOciate, afterward his successor, in the editorship of the Independent, charged him with criminality with Mrs. Tilton. A committee of Plym- outh congregation reported the char- ges to be without foundation; but meanwhile Mr. Tilton instituted a civil suit against Mr. Beecher, lay- ing his damages at $100,000. The trial lasted six months and at its close the jury, after being locked up for more than a week, failed to agree ona verdict. They stood nine for the plaintiff and three tor the deten dant. . Mr, Beecker was of stout build, florid and of strong physical consti- tution. He was fond of domestic and rural lite; a student of nature; a lover ot animals, flowers and gems; an enthusiast in music and a judge and patron of art. He owned a charming residence at Peekskill on the Hudson, which he occupied during a part of every summer. 1886 made a lecturing tour and married Eunice White, daugh- ter ot Dr. Artemas Bullard; then removed to Indianapolis in 1839, where he preached until 1847. In tnat year he received a call from Plymouth church, a new Congrega- tional society in Brooklyn, N. Y., and almost trom the outset he began to acquire that reputation asa pulpit which has been maintained for more than a third of a century. The church and congregation under his charge were among the largest in America. The edifice has a seating capacity of nearly 3,000. Mr. Beecher discarded many of the conventionalities ot the clerical profession. In his view humor has a place in a sermon, as well as ar- gument and exhortation, and he did not hesitate sumetimes to venture so near the comic that laughter could hardly be restrained. He was tond of illustration, drawing material from every sphere of human life and thought and his manner was highly dramatic. Though his keen sense of humor continually manifested itself, the prevailing impression given by his discourses was one ot intense earnestness. The cardinal idea of his creed was that Christianity 1s not a series of dogmas, philosophical or metaphysical, but a rule of life in every phase. He never hesitated to discuss from the pulpit the great social and political crimes of the Ifthe Sufferers from Consumpt- ion, Scrofula, and general Debility, will try Scott's Emutsion of Purec Cod In he in day, such as slayery, intemperance, A nk } > Hi 0 “Aas ve vi y hites, they will arice ‘a tie abuses n | England, bis only visit to that coune {| Liver Oil with Hypophosp: y ane and political abuses.

In 1882 he and his congregetion formally withdrew from the association of Congregational churches on account of this belief.

Ground to Pieces by Cars. Lamar, Mo., March g-—As a treight train on the Mo. Pacific was coming north to-day it ran overa man just north of the Coon creek bridge, and James E. Dugan, the head brakeman, is now in jail here charged with having thrown him off. Not enougn of the body or head was left to show the semblance of a human being, but judging from the black hair, the victim must have been a young man. Nothing could he found on his clothes whereby he could be identified. The train crew swear thatin trying to get off as the train was slowing up the man fell and the entire train ot sixteen cars passed over him. To-morrow testimony will be introduced to Prove that Dugan struck the man with a club and knocked him off. he was educated to a disbelief in the eternity ot tuture punishment. His sermons, reported by stenographers, ! have been printed since 1859, and tor several years formed a weekly Publication called for “Plymouth Pulpit.”’, He very early became Prominent as a plattorm orator and lecturer, in which he had a long aad successful career. His lectures came to be in such demand, even at the high rate of $500 a night, that he was obliged to decline further engage- ments as interfering with his minis- terial duties, and for a long time he retused all applications tor public lectures and addresses except for some special occasions. In January, 1859, he delivered an oration at the celebration ot the centennial anni— versary of the birthday ot Robert Burns, which is considered one ot his most eloquent efforts. He be came. a member of the republican Party on its formation, and delivered many political sermons trom his pul- pit; also addressed political meet- ings, especially in 1856, when he took an active part in the canvass, not only with his pen, but by ad- dressing mass meetings throughout the northern States. During the presidential canvass of 1384 Mr. Beecher supported the democratic candidate, and by his action estranged many of his politi- cal admirers. In the long conflict with slavery Mr. Beecher was an early and an earnest worker and trom the pulpit of Plymouth church came many of the severest denunciations ot human chattel-hood ever uttered vefore a Public assembly. In 1863 he visited Europe and addressed large audien- ces in the principal cities ot Great Bntain on the questions evolved by the civil war then Taging in the Uni- ted states, with a special view to disabuse the British public in regard | to the issues ot the great struggle. | His speeches exerted a wide irflu- | ence in changin 1 3 Mea Rg al hte rmetoecsoer | Decline of man.

Have prescribed it a great many times and its effect is wonderful, and would say in concfusion that I have yet to find a case of Catarrh that it would not cure, it they would take it according to directions.
