The immediate cause of his death was hypostatic congestion, superinduced by aggravated bronchitis. Several weeks ago President Snow contracted a cold. He was at his desk, however, attending to business” as late as Tuesday. Yesterday morning he was suddenly seized with a fit of vomiting, which continued at iatervals throughout the day. Last night his phy- siclans were called and remained in COQ- stant attendance until death came. The church authorities became alarmed at his condition early yesterday and most of the leaders, together with such mem- bers of hjs family as could be summoned by telegraph and otherwise, remained in the sick chamber until the end. The news of President Snow’s death caused a great shock tc the entire com- munity and is deeply deplored by all classes, for he was regarded as a broad- minded, generous-hearted Christian, who desired the upbuilding of Utah as well as the progress of the Mormon church. President Snow's death dissolves the first presidency, of which he was the head, his two councilors being Joseph F. Smith and Rudger Clawson. Until his successor is chosen, which may not be until the annual conference next April, the leadership of the church will devolve upon the council of twelve apostles, of which body Mr. Smith is the recognized head. Unless death should come to him in the meantime Mr. Smith will be the next president of the church. The church leaders will probably meet to-morrow and make arrangements for the funeral. President Snow leaves a large family, the members being scattered throughout . the world. All have been notified of his demise. Lorenzo Snow was born in Mantua, Portage v, Ohio, April 3, 1814, receiv- ing a classical education at Oberlin Col- lege. He became a convert to Mormon- ism in 1836 and immediately began prose- Iyti Since then he has been one of the active and prominent members of the church organization. He has been on numerous foreign missions, the most im- portant being that to Great Britain in 1840, where hé became president of the London conferenge. In 1848, at the head of a train of one hundred wagons, he made the overland trip from 1llinois to the present site of Salt Lake City, and in all the work of founding and building up of this city he has been a leader. For thirty years, com- ding officer of the upper house. In 1855, ith fifty families, he founded and named in’ Northern Utah, which was his home for many vears.

Three of his wives are still living. President Snow will be known as the business president of the Mormon church, His first moves after his promotion to the head of the church were all of a financial nature. The church had been badly crippled financially by the confis- catlons made under the operations of the Edmunds-Tucker act. President Snow immediately authorized bond issues ag- | gregating $2,000,000, with the proceeds of | Which he paid off the most pressing debts of the church and arranged for the re- funding of others at a much lower rate of interest.
