Jefferson City, Mo., Dec. 28.—This perhaps, has been one of the most anxious days tothe people of the State capital that has passed for many years, and to-night there is a feeling of sorrow and gloom hanging over the city. The sudden illness of Gov. Marmaduke. who was stricken ‘with pneumonia on Mondsy, and the knowledge on Tuesday that his sick- hess was serious, was sorrowfully re @eived, and when this afternoon it was given out from the mansion that all hope was abandoned there was a universal expression of sympathy. The Governor was in a very much exhausted condition on Tuesday, but even then the worst was not feared by his relatives. He steadily grew weaker and weaker as the disense de- veloped, and early this morning his condition was considered critical. Dr. R. FE. Young, Superintendent Of tne Insane Axsylum at Nevada, a life long friend of the Governor, and his physician until he removed to Nevada in October, arrived this morning, having been summoned by telegraph, and Dr. J. D. Griffith, an @minent physician of Kansas City. arrived on the afternoon train. Their examination of the Governor verified Abe diagnosis made by Dr. Davison On yesterday, as they also pronounce the case pneumonias. _ At 2:30 p. m. s consultation of the three physicans was held, and the yeonclusion arrived at was that the (fase was absolutely hopeless, and Ghat recovery was out of the ques- “was unconscious to the last moment, | pt pain cmaied by the labored diffical ‘shy of breathing had passed away. In the. chamber where the Governor ied there were gathered around the seiuding ‘Hon: John B. Breathitt,’ Ballivan, J: W. Zevely, Ed. T. No- 4and, Mr. ‘Ramsey and others, cogni want of the fact that the Governor could not live through the night, "hed gathered at. the. mansion, and sdtothem.a moment later by Dr. ‘Noung, who -had pulled out his swatch and noted the.time at which No statement concerinng the fun @ral can be obtained to night, beyond the fact that the remains will be laid to rest in the Marmaduke family ©emetery at the old homestead in Sa- iHine County, about ten miles from -Marshall. The remains will be tak- gn charge of by Undertaker J. F. ). Weinrwchs, of this city. They will not be enbalmed, but will simply be ‘placed in a neat, plain metallic casket, sand will probably be taken to Saline STATEMENT OF THR PHYSICIANS. The three physicians, Drs. Davi- @on, Young and Griffith, all agreed in the statement that Gov. Marma- »@uke died from catarrhal pneumonia, >- «Mare from extensive catarrhal pneu- -monia. Dr. Davison, who waa first = @alled in, made the following state- - ment: “Gov. Marmaduke was taken with achill in St. Louis last Thursday night. He returned to this city and was around Friday and Satuday, and Was at his office on Sunday night. . I was called on Monday and pre- Mounced it pneumonia. The pro- Gress of the disease was unusually Wapid, and the remedies applied seemed to avail nothing.” College.

COMPLAINING FOR WEEKS. Although apparently taken sudden- ly ill, the Governor had been de- elining for a number of weeks, and to his personal friends he had been complaining, for some days prior to Monday, of feeling badly. He re turz. -d on last Friday from St. Louis, where he had been for several days. On Saturday he was in his office at the Capitol, but only for a short time, but was at his office again late Sunday afternoon. This was the last time he was at the Capitol. At the Governor's own request, Lieut. Gov. A. P. Morehouse was telegraphed for last night,$ and will arrive here in the morning. Col. Vincent Marmaduke, of St. Louis, the Governor's brother, will also ar- rive tonight. All of the Governor’s brothers and his one surviving sister were notifies by wire of his critical condition. His brothers, the War den of the Penitentiary, Col. D. W. Marmaduke and Mr. ‘ieslie Marma- duke, of Sweet Springs; Mrs. D. W. Marmaduke, the Governor’s niece; Miss Iola Harwood, and John S. Marmaduke, Jr., his nephew, are at his mansion, and have been since the disease took such an alarming turn. They are assisted and cheered by Gen. and Mrs. J. C. Jamison, and Mr. and Mrs. Kochtitzky and other friends. Hon. W. W. Ramsey and wife, of Maryville, Mo., are at the mansion. They came here yesterday to be the Governor's guest for a few days. Mr. Ramsey isa warm per- sonal friend of the Governor's, and this morning when he .as admitted to the sick room he was recognized ernor became unconscious. HIS TRIP TO EUROPE. Gov. Marmaduke, previous to his trip to Europe last summer, had been in poor health for several City in July his original intention was to make a tour along the eastern Ocean voyage, as he thought that the sea air would benefit him. After ar- a tour of that country was made; and they then proceeded to England, thence to Paris and then to the Spa. Belgium, where the party re- mained a number of weeks. The Governor arrived home late in Sep tember, but did not seem to have been greatly benefitted by his trip. When the Lieutenant Governor a:« Tives in the morning he will assume the duties of the executive office. Gov. Marmaduke has given much thought and labor to the completion of the funding of the state debt, and this, in connection with overwork of last winter and spring, is one of the causes leading to his giving away physically. Up to this morning his mind was perfectly clear. All his life he has been a man of powerful physique and iron constitution, and the first day of his illness he was ir- ritated by his weakness, and told his brother, D. W. Marmaduke, so, who paci ied him by the remark that he was avery sick man, and that his sickness made him weak. The scene at the executive mansion to-night was painful. The visitor was usher- ed into the grand hall from the front entrance, and the noticeable feature of the room was the decorations, which hung from the ceiling and walls, and which covered the ballus- trade of the great winding staircase. In the reception room were a few friends, while above in the chamber over which the death angel was hov- eriug were the physicians, Darwin Sad Leslie Marduke and Miss Har. w od. BIOGRAPHICAL. Gov. John S. Marmaduke was born in Saline county, Mo., March 14, 1833, and was there reared and {educated until he left to enter Yale by him. Shortly after that the Gov- months. When he left Jefferson seacoast, and perhaps to take a short riving at New York, however, the “party, which included the Governor, “fand Mr. and Mrs. Baggott, of St. -} Louis, changed their minds and set Jeail for Europe. Landing in Ireland Burrow, Valdosta, Ga. Albert Sidney Johnston, and served until April, 1861; he then resigned, enlisted in the Missouri State Guards as Captain, and was immediately elected Colonel of a regiment of in- fantry. After the battle of Boon- ville he resigned his commission and went to Richmond, Va., where he was commissioned First Lieutenant of the Confederate Statesarmy. He remained in this army, passing up through successive grades of pro- motion until he reached the position of Major-General. In 1864 he was taken prisoner and confined at Johnson's Island and Fort Warren until August, 1865, when he was released. He then went to Europe, where he remained some time. Returning he went into| business at St. Louis, where he es- tablished the house of Marmaduke & Brown. He also acted for a time as general manager of the Life As- sociation of America for the South- ern States. He was at one time connected with several journals pub- lished in St Louis. The State Board of Agriculture twice elected him its Secretary. He was appointed by Gov. Hardin to the office of Railroad Commissioner in 1875; was elected to the office in 1876, and served un- til 1880. He was elected Governor in 1884 by a majority of 417 votes. Governor Marmaduke was married. Governor Marmaduke’s Successor. Albert P. Morehouse, of Maryville, Mo., who by the death of Gov. Mar- maduke succeeds to the executive chair, was born in Delawzre county, O., July 11, 1835; lived on a farm, securing a common school education until 18, when he attended a select school for two years; in 1856 moved to Camden, Ray county, where he taught school one term; in the, fall of that year located in Nodaway county, taught school and studied law; was admitted to thebar in 1860; was a delegate to the democratic Na- tional Convention of 1872 and 1876; was a member of the Twenty-ninth and Thirty-firat General Assemblies; member of the Democratic State Central Committee 1882-83; a law- yer and real estate agent by occupa- tion. The Governor was married at Lex- ington, Mo., during the war, and has three children, two daughters that have reached their majoritv, and a son very much their junior. They livein one of the handsomest and most pleasantly situated homes in the beautiful little city of Maryville, and it is more than likely that for the brief period Mr. Morehouse will be at Jefferson City—his term ex- piring one year from next Sunday— his family will reside at the capital only temporarily. never Consumption, Scrofula, General Debdility, Wasting Diseases ot Chil Iren, Coughs and Bronchitis, can be cured by the use ot Scott's Emulsion of pure Cod Liver Oil with Hypophosphites.

Great excitement has been caused in the vicinity of Paris, Texas, by the remarkable recovery of Mr. J. E. Corley, who was so helpless he could not turn in bed, or raise his head ; everybody saidhe was dying ef consumption. A trial bottle of Dr. King’s New Discovery was sent him Finding reliet, he bought | a large bottle and a box ot Dr- King’s New Lite Pills; by the time he had taken two boxes of Pills and two bottles of the Discovery, he was well and had gained thirty-six deunds. Trial bottles of this great Discovery tor Consumption free at all drug stores. Large bottles $r. chance plays in the history of most men who acquire great fortunes. It is peculiarly illustrated in the | career of Thomas H. Williams, a! California six millionaire. He went from Kentucky to the Pacific slope in 1849, and settled in Virginia city. As attorney for a mining company, he acquired a claim against it for $1,500 for services, and when the company failed he bid in its mine for the amount of his claim. He moved to San Franciso, years rolled on and the transaction had passed from hia mind, when he was one day approached by a representa- tive of Flood, Mackay & O’Brien, who offered him $100,000 for his long forgotten mine. He was not a greenhora and he at once refused the offer, as he did suc cessive offers of $250,000 and $500,- 000. But when a member of the great firm came to see him with prof- fers of negotiation, they were not re- jected and resulted in the reception of the firm’s check for $6,000,000. It was a great piece of luck, but the luck was supplemented by keen business sagacity. In April, 1887, Chas. W. Sprague, an orange grower at Chaseville, Fla., was lying in bed, suffering the “to:- ments of the cursed,” and disease of the kidneys, with which he had been troubled for two years. He had been under the treatment of an eminent physician but kept growing worse. One day when, as he says, “eyen hope itself had become inanimate,” a casual acquaintance happened in and adyised the trial of Warner's safe cure. He hesitated, because it was a proprietary medicine, but the testi- monials of its efficacy were so con- vincing that, as a business man, he could not doubt the wisdom of trying it. The result was that May 20th, 1887, he wrote: “From the first dose I commenced to improve, and have now recovered my health.” Mr. Williams owes his large for- tune and Mr. Sprague owes hislife to chance, supplemented by good busi- ness judgement. It is no doubt true that fortune knocks at least once at the door of every man, but it is not every man it seems, who has the good judgement to grasp opportuni- ty by the forelock. Drunkenness or the Liquer Habit Positively Curea by administering Dr. Haines’ Golden Specific. It can be given in a cup of coffee or tea without the knowledge ot the person tak- ing it; is absolutely harmiess and will ettect a permanent and oppeedy cure, whether the patient is a moderate drink- er or an alcoholic wreck. Thousands of drunkards have been made temperate men who have taken Golden Specific in their coffee without their knowledge, and to-day believe they quit drinking ot their own free will. It never fails. he 5 tem once impregnated with the Specific it becomes an utter impossibility tor the liquor appetite toexist. For tull partic- ulars, address GOLDEN sPgciric CO., 185 Race st.
