C, Jan. 26.— Former Attorney (reneral Augustus H Garland was stricken with apo plexy while addressing the United | States o’elock supreme court at 12:15 this afternoon ani died within tea minutes. The occurrence eame with startling and tragic urexpectedness, changing the usual ealm and dignity of the court into temporary confusion, while the dying man was carried from the chamber in a futile effort to alleviate his condition. When the court convened at noon, Mr. Garland resumed an argument iu the case of Towson vs. Moor, which had begun yesterday. There was a full bench with the exception of Justices Brewer and White. Mr. Garland spoke calmly and with no evidences of agitation er effort. He had read from a law yolume and had followed with the sentence: “This, your honors, is our | argument there There bave been |eases ia which counsel have fallen, stricken with illoess, bat no case io which death has followed within a few minutes, as bappened to day.

He tottered and fell sideways, striking against a chair and overturning it as he fell heavily to the floor. A succession of loud, deep gasps came from him as he lay en the floor. His assyeciate in the ease, Franklin McKey, was at once by bis side and with other counsel and officials the head of the dying man was raised, his shoes removed anda draught of water given him A deathly pallor had overspread bis Jace and this soon gave place toa deep purple which foreto!d the gravity of the attack. He was car- ried from the chamb>r across to the room of Chief Clerk McKenrey and there placed on a sofa. Senator Gallinger, who isa physician, was naarathand. As e glance told him that the attack would be fatal. Within ten minutes from the time of the stroke Mr Garland breathed bis last.
