Ms friends and relatives who awaited him

eponse.
Mrs. George at once grow anxious as to
her husband's condition. Mr. George gradu
ally grew Incoherent and lapsed Into Bcml-
consclousncss. Mrs. George was now thor
oughly alarmed and called her eon , Henry
George , jr. , from an adjoining room Frank

was at tlio candidate's bedside after the fatal
attack catrc He said :
"I came Into the Union Square hotel at 1
o'clock this moinlng and found Mr. and Mrs.
George sitting at a table In the ( lining loom
with a few friends. .Mr. George had Just re
turned from the Central Opera house , where
ho had delivered a speech. After a light
meal Mr. George complained of Indigestion.
Ho BOOH ictlied , after bidding us all good
night. Mis George found him flitting In an
arm chair about 2 30 o'clock. Soon after his
condition became alarming and she sum
moned beveral of us. I went at once for
the Goctor ar < l on my way stopped at the
Waldorf and notified Mr. Johnson. He was
greatly shocked and loH no time In getting
down to the Union Square hotel ,
"I then went to Mr. George's residence on
\ Ninety-sec nil street South Ilrookljn , and
notified the members of the family theie
His BOH , Richaril , and 1 h uninar led daug or
\ ( \\eio there at the time. With them were two
nttccs of Mr. George , daughters of his
brother , Thomas , who resides In Phila
delphia. "
R. I , RosUoph , ono of the campaign man-
tigers , was * nt the Union Square hotel early
this morning. He said : "The movements
of the Jcffersonlan democracy will go on us
steadily as e\er. Mr. Gcorgo has said that
should his election bu not possible ho pre
ferred Mr Low as next major. I believe
the xotcs that would Imvo gone to George
will be thrown for Scth Low. "
HIS LAST SI'CiCHnS.
Last night Mr. Gcorgo spoke In the borough
of Queens and Inter In the borough of Man
hattan at the Central Opera house. Hewax
greeted by large and enthusiastic crowds
every who o In/me of his last night sr.cecliei
Mr. George said. ' 'I have labored for jears
to make mjbolf known , and now at last
tljcso things tire all written down I bo-
* llevo thut all the needed reforms are
summed up In the philosophy : 'Tho right of
ovoiy man to cat , to drink , to speak as he
sees fit BO long as ho docs not trench on
thi ! right of other men. ' Later In the- same
Bpeech he repeated hla threats against
Crocker In a ringing volco that greatly af
fected his hearers , saying : "Lot him go
.to the penitentiary ; ho shall go there. "
Mrs George accompanied her husband on.
most of his epefchmaklng trips and she was
with him last night.
Newspaper men who have born a part of
the Geoigo campaign have felt he was under
going a strain which was surely and rapidly
Inmklng him down. At times lie has been
incoherent. Ills whole temperament under
went a complete change , Hla speeches , de
livered by the half dozen each dnj , were
often rambling , though their trend was OUT
faithful to the tellers whoso devoted cham
pion hu has been all his life Mrs Ueorgu
nnd Hei.ry George , jr. , have been solicitous
regarding the effect of the terrible strain ot
Ms being 'bundled ' about from place to place
each day far Into the night making speeches
before wildly enthusiastic gatherings of his
admirers , ami it IIUB been noted again and
again that bis faithful wlfo sat beside her
luudiaiid on the platform from which ho
gpoko or watclud closely from a place of
vuutago close by.
NOT STRONG TOR SOMB TIME.
Mr , George haa not been strong for the
jiat tune joars , and his son , Henry George ,
Jr , . has been his companion In almost every
enterprise In which ho has engaged , going
iwlth htm on his tours of the west us a spe
cial newspaper correspondent in the lust
presidential campaign and keeping close at
WH bide In his movements In the campaign.
Within the past day or two close friends ot
Mr , George have noted with apprehension
marked changes In hla manner and appear-
encf. HU eyes grew dull. Wrinkles came
it the corner * and bli eyes aunk In hollow
caverns. His voice , usually resonant and
pleasant , now pitched almost to piping treble
In conversations , was querulous , while ho
fircmtd llko one whose nerves were 33 highly
wrought that they might map without warn
ing The pace of the campaign was harder
than this man , high strung and sensitive ,
could maintain.
The Journal and Advertiser thin mornlns
contained an article on Henry George , writ-
tenby Alfred Henry Lewis , who \lsltrd the
famous single tax advocate at his head
quarters In the Union Square hotel ypstcr-
day. Of hla Impressions Mr. Lewis wrote :
"The Henry George I found was not the
Henry George I met fewer than two months
ago. When I M\V him lact ho waa trinqul ] ,
quiet , even steady as to nerves , rational , se
dately contented , talking of his books and
his tax dreams Today I met a rrtan haggard ,
pinched , with a face as thin and peaked cs
n pin Hi ; ryes roved , his hair was tumbled ,
his face the theater of disorder. If ho was
the picture of an j thing , It was his unfed
ambition mule desperate. There was dc-
spalr , too , In his face , as If In a dim way ho
looked into the future , black with disap
pointment. I tell you It was a shock to see
the man. "
Mr Gcorgo was about five feet five ) Inches
high and of slender build. Ills head was
bald and his brows fast becoming gray.

attacks on Richard Croker and Senator Platt ,

contractors and aspirants for office , should he
bo elected mayor. His candidacy gave to the
coming election Its greatest clement of un
certainty , for , according to expert politicians ,

"Unless the JefTersonUni democrats are bc-
;
trijrd by Tom Johnson , who has been their
hoidoo from the start , their votes will bo
easily consolidated upon the other candi
date. The dlhreputable deal between John
son and the Citizens' union has further pos
sibilities so f.ir as Johnson Is concerned , but
not so far as the roil friends and followers
of George are concerned. They ore not de
liverable In bulk to an j body nvccpt to an
other bona fldo candidate of the uarty.
"General Tracy will not lose a single re
publican vote as the result of Mr George's
drain. The republican party will poll Its
strength with substantial entirety for Gen
eral Tiacy. The republicans recognl/e the
LoiV movement as a democratic conspiracy.
The ) see In law an attempt to ie\lvu Clevt-
landlsm and betray the rc-publlcan party by
another of these characteristic Micks of the
Cleveland democracy. It Is another and well
understood thing In every political trlsls
during the last twelve jmrs that the Clc\e-

patch , dated October 28 , from Game Warden
Little nt Meeker :
"Indians reported gathering In large num
bers on the Colorado side of the Uluc moun
tains Settlers greatly alarmed. Affairs look
very threatening. "
Immediately on receipt of the dispatch Gov
ernor Adams called upon General Otis and
held n consultation on whit to do In the !
emerfiencj' . Prom the tenor of the dispatch
It appears that the Utes left In Utah are
lushing eastward to the assistance of their
brethren. At first the accounts iece'\ol from
the Ute outbreak were confusing and tended I
to show that the wardens were fired upon by
the Indians. Later reports go to show that
the game wardens were the agg-etsors.
General Otis tcday received from the com
mamliug officer at Fort Duchcsne , Utah , the
following report from Captain Wright , who
Is In charge of the cavalry sent In pursuit
of the Indians , dated Jeuscn , Utah , October
29 :
Frank Parlcl , a Ulntah Indian , states
that five Indians were In the nnrty at-
tacked by the twenty-lho panic wnrdonn
on Hear river four days ago Two bucks
( Uncle Lewli > Urothers nnd Clnares ) were
killed ; two squaws wounded. Wardens
caught ono Indian a little distance fiom
camp and told him they were going1 to kill
him Indians did not undeistand Uimlish.
Wardens attacked them In camp. 'Jhlnk
one warden killed. All Indians roti.iiiK this

The commanding ofllccr at Fort Duchesno
further reports that there Is no further ex

sajs trouble In Routt county will soon end ,
a& the troops will soon escort the Indians
back to their reservation. The state auditor

Chairman II. G. McMillan of the republican
state committee tonight gave out his esti
mate on the result of the election Ho savs
"Complete polls of thirty-one counties , with
estimates on partial returns from thirty-
sevpn others , Indicate a republican vote of
244,751 ard a democratic otc of 201,9S7 The
sound money democrats will somewhat in
crease their voto. The prohibitionists will
cast a smaller vote for governor than two
jcars ago , but larger than a year ago. The
middle-of-the-road populists are active In
some localities and will poll more than many
suppose Ho says there are no lobses of
sound money < streiigth , but that the danger
Is In too much confidence on the part of re
publicans. "
Last year McKlnloy had 289,283 and Bryan
223,741.
Mr. McMillan makes no cellmate on the
legislature , but expects It will be almost all
republican In the senate and about seventy
republicans to thirty democrats In the house.
This legislature will not elect a senator.
Chairman Walsh of the democrats gives
no figures todaj- , but sajs from reports of
nearly all counties he expects the republicans
to suffer a great lo s from a year ago , while
the democrats will poll all of last j ear's
strength , with a majority of the gold demo
crats who a j'ear ago voted for McKlnley. He
expects the prohibitionists to poll a heavy
vote and claims the state for White by
20,000.

CHICAGO , Oct 29. The action ot Bay con
ference , suspending Rev C. 0 Brown foi
unniltilstcrlal conduct , was today sustained
by the mutual council of the Congregational
church , which has been reviewing the cas.e
The cojucll acquits Dr. Brown of the charge
of adultery , but approves the action of the
Hay conference. Nearly three hours wcio
taken up with a secret sess'on ' before the
members of the council decided upon their
action. Tlio finding in full is as follows :
1. Wo llml that the lesult of the San
fVanclsco council doc'arcs ' that the evi
dence befoio It did not sustain the chugo
of adultery.
2. We find that while Bay oonfei ! ic < > In
Us action fell Into home Irregularities , wo
are still led to justify upon the whole tild
action of Uny conference In suspending IT
O O Brown upon the eharfis seriously
affecting his ministerial conduct.
' ! Hut wo hone and advise lint In view
of the excellent ministerial service of Hi'V.
C O Brown and the suffering endured by
him , the Hiy conference and Hev. C O
Brown together may llml some way 01 ( se
curing the icllcf by council or otherwise
of the disabilities resting upon him by the
action of 15ay conference
Dr , Brown met defeat without a wink. He
sat alone in the rear of the assembly ro"in
jheu Secretary Bradley announced the ver
dict. Dr. Brcnvn expressed his disappoint
ment when the 'council-bad dispersed. 'Ho.
did not demand relief of the charge of adul
tery , he said , as the Bay conference had
done that , but ho wished to be free from
the "ministerial Inability" In which ho now
finds himself. The result of the council's
action will llkclj lead to the rejection of his
application for membership In the Chicago
Congregational Ministerial association and a
breach In the membeishlp of the church of
which Dr. Brown Is now pastor.
An Imprcsslvo ixirt of the final session of
the- council was the prayer delivered by Dr.
Boynton , who presided. In his appeal Dr.
Boynton prayed for purer manhood and
womanhood and that the blcttsings of heaven
upon all those Interested In the work of the
council which , ho said , concerned the whole
Congregational church.
"I think I shall have to drive a dray or
become a repoiter on. . a newspaper , " sold
Rev Dr Brown , with a touch of sarcasm ,
while waiting the rctuin of the verdict When
seen ho said "This does not disqualify mete
to remain parlor of the Green Street church.
It is now In order , I suppose , for the Bay
uonfercnco to take the first step ab sug
gested In the last section of the finding. I
shall bo only too willing to accept any rea
sonable overture tlu > Ba\ conference is will
ing to make. My oxperlcce with congrega-
tlonal council verdlclB Is that the > are almost -
most as hard to Interpret as constitutional
law. "
Rev. Dr. Broun admitted that the finding
of the council would precipitate a discussion
of his right to become a member of the Chi-
cdgo association. H Is asserted ho U only
suspended from the Hey conference and Is
still a member , thus preventing him becom
ing a member of any other conference In
tlio church.
