Since His Heavy Fall on November 7 He has Been ill.—Held Many High Places. Columbus, O., Dec. 12.—The long useful career of Judge Allen G Thurman came to a close this after- noon at 1:30 o'clock at his residence, corner Rich Street and Washiugton avenue. The end was peaceful in the extreme and the soul of the great j man left the earthly habitation with- out a sign of physical distress. At the instant of dissolution, and for seme hours before Judge Thurman had been lying iu an unconscious condition. He passed merely from sleep temporal to sleep eternal and the change was hardly noticeable even to the loved ones who sur- rounded his bedside. In the midst of the volumes of knowledge he prized so dearly, and amid the scenes where he has spent so many pleasant hours of his happy old age, the vital spark took wing from the image of clay. Judge Thur- man died in his beloved library which looks toward the setting sun. Shortly after his fall several weeks ago, Judge Thurman’s bed was moved from the adjoining bedroom to his library and he remained there. Judge Thurman has lived with his son, Allen W. Thurman, since the death of his wife several years ago, and being unable to leave the house he occupied apartments in the sec- ond story of the residence, where he spent the last days of his life in a remarkably pleasant and agreeable manner. The beginning of Judge Thur-| man’s fatal illness dates from No-| vember 7 last, when he fell heavily while walking across the library floor. A few days after the fall Judge Thurman’s life was despaired of, but he rallied from the shock, and apparently at times seemed to have regained his old-time vigor. November 13 Judge Thurman was, $2 years of aye, and on that date | several of his old friends called on | him and had a pleasant chat. On! that occasion he smoked a cigar} At10 o'clock this morning Dr | with his friends and seemed unusu- ally cheerful and bright. Since the accident he has had his good days and his bad ones. He had been confined to his bed nearly | all the time, and his physician, Dr. W. H. Whitaker, called on him daily. That he was steadily growing weak er was apparent to all, and it had been known for some time that his lease of life could not be protracted much longer. On account of his confinement to bed Judge Thurman began to be afflicted with bed sores, and in order to relieve this unpleas antness he at times sat up and stood | up, but he had not attempted to} walk since his fall. Last Thursday, | when Dr. Whitaker called, be found | his patient sitting up in a chair, | smoking a cigar and apparently en-| joying it. He shook hards with the doctor, and said: “My dear doctor, sit down and talk tome” He seem- ed very buoyant, and cracked a joke and, as was his habit, talked to the doctor in French. It should be re marked that recently it seemed to be one of Judge Thurman's delights to talk French, showing the remark- able vigor of his mental powers. | Last Tuesday Dr. Whitaker noticed | that he did not continue bis French | conversation as long as usual, and soon tired of his cigar, and when he got back into bed his pulse was rather feeble. When Dr. Whitaker saw Judge Thurman Wednesday about 2 p. m he seemed listless and rather heavy about his eyes and mental opera-| tions. However, he recognized the physician and members of the fam- ily. The change for the worse be- came; quite marked shortly after midnight Thursday, and at 2 a. m. the family became alarmed and sent | for Dr. Whitaker. At that time Dr. Whitaker found his patient almost unconscious. Mucous had filled the bronchial tubes and his breathing was labored. Dr. Whitaker aroused | him sufficiently to ask him if he was| thirsty, and Judge Thurman nodded | his head in assent. Dr. Whitaker gave him a little water and whisky. | which he swallowed with difficulty, | | He seemed, however, to be partially | conscious of what he was doing. He| and stood next to Cleveland and | eit heruphold the Monroe d ctrive | then sank into a heavy stupor “from | which he was never aroused. It was | known at 2a m. that the beginning } of the end had set in, and the family were so notified. a nera!.

Thurman wasa Virgin- | jian by birth, having been born in} | Lynch burg in 1813 His father who | | was a Methodist minister, removed, j however, to Chillicothe, O., in 1819. | Mr. Thurman's mother was the only daughter of Col. Nathaniel Allen, Hewes, one of the signers for the) | Declaration of Independence. Young, Thurman was an attendendant at the Chillicothe Academy, but his educa- | tion came chiefly from his mother’s | teaching. At the age of 18 he en- gaged in surveying, and at 21 be came private secretary to Gov. Wil- | liam Lucas. At the same time he| studied law with his uncle, William | Allen, and was admitted to the bar | in 1835. He early became Sengross- | ed in politics. In 1844 he was elect. | ed to Congress, and the next year! took his seat the youngest member of that body. But he declined a re-| nomination to Congress, and con- | tinued to practice law with eminent success until the 1851, wher he was electe to the Supreme Bench of Ohic. | From December, 1854, until Febru- ary, 1856,he served as Chief Justice, but at the expiration of his term re- fused a renomination. For the next | ten years he was not in public life | but in 1867 he was the choice of his | party for Governor of Ohio,and was | beaten by Rutherford B. Hayes by} \the narrow majority of 3,000. The| | Legislature chosen then, however. |was Democratic, and Judge Thur. man was once elected to the United States Senate,where being re elected | in 1574, he served for twelve years. | party was weak in Though his numbers in the Senate. he at once! became its leadcr, and during the} jlong years of his service he was) recognized by all parties as a man of | | great ability, of judicial fairness,and | | a foremost exponent of constitution | jallaw. He was a power inthe com- | mittees of which be was a member, and in the deliberations of the Sen- ate he took rank and imfluence with the highest. One of his most dis- tinguishing acts in the Senate was the passage ef the bill to compel the Pacific railroads to establish a sink- ing fund from their earnings, with which to meet their debt to the Government. Almost single handed and in oposition to every influence those powerful corporations could | | employ, he got this act upon the! | statue books, where it yet remains. | Mr. Thurman was long regarded | jin his party as available to the pree- | ® jidency. In the convention of 1876, | | which nominated Mr. Tilden he re-! | ceived some votes, and in 1880, the first ballot gave him the whole vote of Ohio, with considerable support | from cther states. In 1884 he was/ a delegate at large to the demucrat- ie convention, and was formally put in nomination for the presidency, | | Bayard en the firet ballot.
