He Died Peacefully in the Midst of Family and Friends. THE FINAL SCENE AT THE BEDSIDE ees HIS ETERNAL AMNESTY. Jefferson Davis Has Joined the Great Confederacy of the Dead. New Orteaxs, Dec. 6.—Jefferson Davis, the ex-president of the southern confederacy, died at 12:45 o'clock this morning. The announce- ment of the event created profound sensation in this city and was immediately telegraphed to all the leading cities of the south. The death of Mr. Davis has been expected at any time within the last month. Four weeks ago, while traveling on a river steamer, he caught cold, and his condition became so serious that his physicians refused to allow him to return 4o his home in Mississippi. Mrs, Davis was sent for and immediately joined her husband and remained with him constantly until the end. Mr. and Mrs. Davis were as devoted to each other as when in their younger days they eloped to be married. For three days previous Mr. Davis had been getting steadily better and was much improved, so the physicians thought All day yesterday the favorable symptoms con- tinued, and late in the afternoon, as late as 4 o'clock, Mrs, Davis sent such a cheering message to Mrs, Stamps and Mr. and Mrs, Fenner that they decided, for the first time since Mr. Davis had been taken ill, to attend the French opera, At 6 o'clock last evening, without any assignable cause, Mr. Davis was seized with a congestive chill, which seemed to absolutely crush the vitality out of his already enfeebled body. So weak was Mr. Davis that the violence of the assault soon subsided for lack of vitality upon which to prey. “PRAY EXCUSE ME.” From that moment to the moment of his death the history of his case was that of a gradual sinking. At7o’clock Mrs. Davis ad- ministered some medicine,but the ex-president declined to receive the whole dose. She urged upon him the necessity of taking the remainder, but,putting it aside with the gentlest of gestures, he whispered, **Pray excuse me.” These were his last words. Gradually he grew weaker and weaker, but never for an instant seemed to lose consciousness. Lying peacefully upon his bed, and without a trace of pain in his look, he re- mained for hours, Still clasping and tenderly caressing his wife’s hand, with undaunted spirit he awaited the end. From the moment of the dread assault of the congestive chill those gathered about the bedside, who had been watching and noting with painful inter- estevery change of symptom for the last month, knew well that the dread messenger was at the door. About 10:30 o'clock Associate Justice Fenner went to the French opera house 6 call to Mr. Davis’ bedside Mr. and Mrs. Farrar and Mrs, Stamps, As soon as the mes- sage reached them they hurried to the bedside of the dying ex-president. THE DEATH-BED SCENE. By 11:30 o’clock there were assembled in the death chamber Mrs. Davis, Dre, Chaille and Bickham, Associate Justice and Mrs. Fenner, Mrs. Nancie Smith, grand niece of the dying ex-president, and Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Farrar. Finding that Mr. Davis was breathing some- what heavily as he lay on his back the doctors assisted him to turn upon his right side. With his cheek resting upon his right hand like a sleeping infant and with his lett hand dropping across his chin he lay for some fifteen minutes breathing faintly. More and more feebly be- came his respirations till they passed into silence, and then the watchers knew that the end hadcome. The father of the confederacy had passed away “As calmly as to a night's repose Or flowers at set of sun.” Despite the fact that the end had come slowly and peacefully and after she had been face to face for hours with the dread reality, the blow fell with crushing force upon the af- flicted widow. As long as there had been work foreither head or hands she had borne up bravely, and not until the sweetest of her tender ministrations were lost did she seem to realize the terrible force of the blow that had fallen upon her. Knowing of a predisposition to heart affection the doctors were at once gravely alarmed for her. They promptly ad- ministered a composing draught and at a late hour this morning she was resting quietly. It is believed that the foundation of ‘the ex-presi- dent’s last illness was malaria,complicated with acute bronchitis, Careful nursing and skilled medical attendance had mastered the latter, but it is supposed that the congestive chill, which was the immediate cause of death, was attribut- able toa return of the malaria, After death the face of the deceased, though looking shghtly emaciated, showed no trace of suffering. more nearly resembling that of a peaceful sleeper than of the dead. ‘MESSAGES OF CONDOLENCE, Messages have been received from Atlanta, Memphis, Louisville and many other points, all expressive of respect for the dead confeder- ate and of sympathy for Mrs. Davis in her af- fliction. The remains will probably lie in state at the city hall here previous to their removal to Mississippi for burial. The general senti- ment among ex-confederates is that the obse- quics of Mr. Davis should be the most impos- ing ever witnessed in the south and it is be- lieved the mourners at the grave will be num- bered by thousands, ‘The illness of Mr, Davis had been watched with deep anxiety here and arrangements had been made to announce his death by the tolling of the fire bells. Word was therefore tele- phoned to the central station at 12:50 this morn- ing and in a few minutes the mournful notes of the bells conveyed intelligence of the death to the city. ple at once gathered at the hotels and at 3 ‘ofelock hundreds were discuss- ing the event. IT WILL BE A HISTORIC HOUSE. The handsome residence of Mr. J. U. Payne at the corner of 1st and Camp streets is at pres- ent an object of interest to every friend of Mr. Davis because it was in the pleasant guest chamber of this elegant home that the confed- erate chieftain passed away. | 1 | Hl H : i & H E 3 G F é E i E E i t gS Fs ; ; i i E g ae Hh he asked for her and was fretted or uneasy until she returned. Friends constantly sent beautiful flowers, of which Mr. Davis was very fond, but these were not allowed to remain in the sick room for any length of time. At the outset jellies, fruits and ail manner of invalid's delicacies were proffered, until Mrs, Davis was compelled to them. The sick man’s was only milk, iced beef tea and rarely broiled chop. ON THE WAY To SEE HIM. Senator Jones, who started from Iowa some days ago to pay a visit to his old friend and comrade, did not arrive yesterday a8 was ex- pected,and when he reaches this city today will only behold the remains of him whom in life he esteemed, and to see whom he traveled trom far-off Iowa to the sunny south. Mrs. Hayes, Mr. Davis’ daughter, who was due here yesterday, was detained last night at Fort Worth and is not expected to be m the city until Saturday morning. WELL CARED FoR. Mr. Davis remained in bed all the time and was never left alone, being guarded lovingly by his wife and the capable quadroon hired nurse, Lydia, and Mrs. Davis’ own little brown-eved hand-maiden, Betty, who, at all times, had entre to the sick room, But little talking was allowed, and newspapers, letters and telegrams were tabooed. On Wednesday afternoon a reporter had a few moments’ conversation with Mrs. Davis. She was worn and wearied with service at the sick bed. She was very hopeful, however, of her husband's ultimate recovery. “Mr. Davis has always beon an exceedingly ‘temperate man,” said Mrs. Davis. “He has never abused his physical powers, and no one could have lived more moderately than he, Of course all this is in is favor. Ido not mean to say that there would be no danger if a door were left open or the fire in his room allowed to go out. He is as frail as a lily and requires the most attentive care. I be- lieve he would not be alive today had this ill- ness come upon him at Beauvoir, where he could not possibly have had the constant care of such physicians as Dr. Bickham and Dr. Chaille and the intelligent love, tenderne and luxury that surrounds him in this home.” FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS. Judge Fenner and Mr. Farrar have the affairs of the dead statesman in hand. but the latter gentleman last night stated that be and Judge Fenner would not take any steps looking to the funeral until they had held a consultation with Mra. Davis, who is at present too much grieved pe so severe loss to be approached on the sub- ject Mr. Farrar is fully acquainted with all the details of Mr. Davis’ will, but he stated that he did not know but that Mrs, Davis received some final wish from her husband regarding the place of burial. Mr. Ferrar did not know if the burial would take place in this city or elsewhere and, al- though he and Judge Fenner had been re- juested to act as they saw fit in the premises, rs. Davis had not intimated where she de- ired the interment to be made. Mayor Shake- speare has issued a D peered announcing Mr. Davis’ death and inviting the presidents of the various exchanges and commercial bodies andanumber of prominent citizens to meet atthe city hall in order that proper arrange- ments may made for the funeral.
