REAPS THE WHIRLWIND IN COUNTY HOSPITAL WARD Consumption Ends Career of Francis McMann- Who Had a Wealthy Uncle in Montreal. MAN died in the City and County Hospit Wednesd ht last whose name up to a few hours | before his death was believed by | all bot one man to rank Wi liams of nowhere in particular and a vie- tim of galloping consumption. Two months before his death the man confi to the Rev. Douglas Kelly of the St Cornelius Eplscopal Chapel, who had taken an Interest in him, that his true name was Francis McMann. At long intervals Willlams or McMann told the priest bits of lite's story. It was a story of & misspent career, of an educated man who nad become passion’s slave an ad to worse, ever lower, until a of consumption he had become a pauper inmate of the City and County Hospial® As a proof of his weaithy relationship, McMann told the Rev. Mr. Kelly of an Thomas Montgomery, of McGiil {, Montreal, one of that city's most and wealthy merchants. This, s the only direct mention he to prominent nowever, w ever made of being aulfed people. Last July, when McMann entered the hospital, he came there from BSacra- mento. . He came to the institution to die. A short but rapid career of wild dissipation had shrunk his once athletic form to mere skin and bone and his onc hope was to end his days, If not in com- fort, at least in a certain peace. This much he confided to the Rev. Mr. Kelly. The day he died, but some time before dissolution took piace, McMann told hig spiritual adviser that Charles T. Waters, a clerk in the auditing department of Wells-Fargo, knew him well and would dispatch a telegram io lus people, whose names or business McMann had never confided to the priest. Waters sent the telegram, but up to late last night no an- swer had beén received. Mr. Kelly sent a letter to Thomas Montgomery, whom McMann claimed was his undle, two weeks ago, but no anewer has reached im. Even in their terribly emaciated condi- tion as they look up from a slab in tho hospital morgue, McMann's features show a certain refinement and Mr. Kelly says that he seemed a man above the ordina. refined and educated. Whether the story he told is true or not is a ques- tion, but there can be no doubt, and in this' the hospital officials agree, that Frank Williams, pauper consumptive, no | matter what his real name was, was one who had fallen from an estate, if not high, at least higher than that in which he died. The body will, according to custom, be kept three days. In the event of no claim for it being hmughl forward it must lie in the potter's field or become a subject for the dissecting-room. When seen last night Rev. Mr. Kelly willingly gave all the information he had. “] met McMann,” sald he, ‘“three monthe ago at the City and County Hos- pital. I became interested in him and we frequently held long conversations to- gether.
