A, after many weeks of suffering from rheumatism, which recently deveioped acute and distressing phases, passed away this aft on at the Hygeia Hotel at Old Point. The general's wife and daughter were constantly at his bedside during the pes ‘ek. He came here three weeks ago on the advice of his onysicians. Tre be will be prepared for burial ard removed to Washingtun to-mor. row afternoon. General Flagler was born in York and was appointed to the Military Academy from that State July 1, 1856. He was graduated No. in the class of 1861 a was appointed second lieutenant of ordnance. He served with credit through the Civil War. His earliest military ser- vice was in connection with the drilling of volunteers at Washington, D. C., after which he acted as-aide-de-camp to Colonel Hunter in the Manassas campaign, being engaged in the first battle of Bull Run. He was after- ward aide-de-ca to General McDcwell in the defenees of Washington, D. C. He accompanied General Burnside's cxpedition to North Carolina as chief of ordnance and was engaged in the battle and capture of Roanoke Island, also the attack on Newbern, N. C.; the capture of Fort Macon; the Maryland campaign with the Army of the Potomac; in ‘the battle of, South Mountain; battle of Antietam; battle of Chancellorsville, and the bat- tle of Gettysburg. He was brevetted three times during the war as cap- tain, major and lieutenant colonel. In the West he served at Fort Union Arsenal N. M., and San Antonio, * Tex. He reached the grade of lieutenant colonei in 1880. While in com- mand of Watertown arsenal in 1891 he was promoted to brigadier gencral and has since served In that capacity < | thy condition twenty-four hours after being taken from the ship refrigerator?’ asked Major Lee Yes, sir, that was the understanding, General Fagan responded, promptly. Here he again reterred to tne twenty-four bour clause, explaining that his whole idea was that there shouid be a seventy-two hour time limit, though the contract should state it at twenty four. The retention so strongly of the sevent two hours idea in his mind explained his for- getfulness of the twenty-four clause in Eiving his testimony on a previous occasion and his statement then that its insertion was-a clerical error. Major Lee asked the gemerul if he thought it pertectly feasible to keep refrigera- tor beef for even twenty-four hours after leav- ing the refrigerator, and he replied in the af- firmative. “But * he said, * or dumped In dirty ca: stances.” G | Eagan said he had secured the opin- fom of the surgeon general that refrigerator beef was most acceptable. He had never had any idem that the troops could be better supplied by giving them beet on the toot.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., March 20.—S. B. | Armour, head of the local | house of Armour & Co., and brother of P. D. Armour of Chicago, died at his home here at 9:20 this morning, of pneumonia. Mr. Armour had been ill | for two weeks. Ie had practically re- | coverad on Monday, but-suffered a re- | lapse erda: | Simeon Brooks Armour was born on a | farm in Madison County, N. Y., on Feb- | ruary 1, 1828. He was bred to hard | work on the farm and lived there until | 1870, when at the request of his broth- | ér, Philip. he came here to open a | branch of the Chicago house. In the| fall of 1870 and the winter of 1871, the firm of Plankington & Armour began | business in a rented building. In the spring of 1571 the first building owned | by Plankington & Armour was built. It | is mow a part of the big plant that | covers acres. | S. B. Armour was married on June 2 1856, to Miss Margaret Klock of Oneida, | N. Y. They had no children. | Mr. Armour's most marked charac- teristics were a great insight into hu- man nature, great business tact and shrewdness, economy, modesty and | simplicity of character and life and | great tenderness. Mr. Armour was | very active in all public affairs and did | much to enhance the city's worth. He helped organize the New England Safe Deposit and Trust Company of this city in 1883 and acted as one of its directors up to the time of its conversion last year into the&New England Bank, in | which concern he held the office of di- rector at the time of his death. No arrangements for the funeral have yet been mad BIG GUN BURSTS AT THE PROVING GROUND | NEW YORK, March 20.—At the Sandy Hook proving grounds this ‘afternoon one of the 10-inch breech-loading rifles, under proof test, burst its breech, the block of | which, flying backward, killed Henry V. Murphy and injured Privates Harrigan | and Beemer, of the Ordnance Department. | Tt is thought that the injuries of the | wounded men are not serious. Captain | Babbit, in charge of the proving ground, | says that the accident was caused by e: cessive pressure of the smokeless pawder charge. The gun, which burst at the fourth round, was 'of the 1595 model.
