THI G000 GREY POET Walt (Whitman, Full of Years and Honor, Passes Quietly Away at His Home In Oamden. The Great Apostle of Democracy, One of the Truest Americans This Country Has Ever Produced. "WEARY; SHIFT." HIS LAST A Brief Biographical Sketch of this Man and His Unique Poetical Career. THE RECORD OF DEATH. A Cousin of .James ti. Blaine A Big Penn-sylvania Coal Operator- - The Owner of a Celebrated Horse A Western Editor. Philadelphia, March 38. Calmly and peacefully, like a child asleep, Walt Whit-man passed away Saturday evening. Ho had been weaker thau usual for some days past. He bad had a sinking spell Friday night, but recovered somewhat. Again at 4:30 Saturday afternoon he began to sink. Dr. Alex McAllister reached tlie dying man's bedside shortly after, and found the aged poet in a dying condition. He asked the patient if he suffered any pain and he whispered the answer: "No." Three miuutes before his death he said to the attendant: 'Weary, shift." They were WALT WHITMAN'. the last words uttered by Mr. Whitman. His breathing came fainter and fainter, and at exactly 0:43 p. m. he passed away. U the time of the Good Grey poet's death, liflKj-idsul- e, In the humble nu.e frame cot-tage, was surrounded by a little group Thomas B. Harned, a close friend ; Horace, L. itabbel, his secretary; Dr.Mc Allister and the housekeeper, and a faithful male attend-ant. .'ews 'if hi death was cabled to Lord Teuf.on and sttier friends In England; DrJKuck, of Ontario, i&r'l .iphert and triads in this country.

"bJc dceased will be placed in the re- - ntp ompleted tomb in Havleigh ceme-tery Kq (amden, the spot selected by Mr. '' liiiliait when he was enjoying his usual lcaltli fcnd where he visited many times during t)ie construction of the tomb. Wait Wjman was born in West Hills, LongllaJLTd, NT. Y., May 31, 1819. He a 'oimnon school education, learned the prinitrs' trade, taught school and had some edilni rl experience. During the war he'was athospitai nurse. After the war he held a golerument clerkship for some years. A stroke l.f paralysis in 173 disabled him from furtler work, and he left Washineton and moveuj to Camden, N. J., where he has since maaje his home. His leonine head, patriarchal ligure and unconventional attire made him marked figure. He. was a large man, with Mowing gray hair and beard, with blight, eyes, casting about him a kind, discerning gaze. He was simple and gentle iu maimers, sincere and hospitable, indiffer-ent to money or the luxuries of life, ill things for a poetic vocation which was tardily recognized. His "Leaves of Grass," published in 18.V, is said to have been put in type by himself, no publisher being willing to take the work. Since then he has continued to write his peculiar poems and gradually secured an audience wl ich, while small, was intensely appreciative. Emerson was one of the first to recognize his genius, and wrote to aim, saying: "1 rect you at the beginning of a great career '' In 11 the Boston house o; James R. i ) ood fc Co. brought out an edi-tion of bis p terns.

John Kigo. Another of the Pioneers of I'tah, Pauses Away, Aged Kijjhty ars. Dr. John Kiggs, one of Provo's oldest citi-N-died at his rrsideuee in that city Sat-urday afternoon from a congestivechillcou-tracte- d early iu the day. The deceased was born in Oxford, Conn., December 'JO, 1K12, and was therefore over 7!) years of age. He was baptized into the morinoa church about the year ltvtt. He moved to Nauvoo, 111., shortly afterwards While there he was a member of the Nauvoo Legion, lie mar-ried his present wife in 1H4I1 When the mormons were driven west lie stopped at Council Bluffs.

Attorney Dinning, who represents tha property holders on the Kapid Transit line outside the. city limits, who, some time ago, filed a petition asking the court to regulate the fares to be charged, and on which County Attorney Murphy Hied an opinion last Monday, appeared t: find the boat method to bring this mailer up before tho court. His honor thought the best way would be to file a petition stating the facts of the case, and then they would be in a position to hear both sides of tho question, and to come to some dechdon. Frank J. Haluey, who has been in the hospital and infirmary since the first of tho year, appeared before the court ami askod to be sent back to Canton, Ohio, his home. He has been here sinco last Novoniber aud hasn't been able to do a day's work. He la dying of lung trouble. Order made that the sheriff be. Instructed to buy him a ticket to Canton and to furnish him (In for His honor recommended that ii poor woman by the name of Mrs. Miller be fur-nished a ticket to San Francisco. She had received a dispatch from her husband in San Francisco that he was dying, and she bad but $H in the world. W, T. Arglie, a man of about 5fl yeari of age, who has been in the territory for Iwenty-s- years, appeared before the court and asked for assistance. He was sworn aud testified that he had the heart disease and other ills that interfered with his earn-ing a living. Case referred to county phy-sician. A petition which was presented some time ago to the court In regard to the opening of Main street from Tenth Uouth to Twelfth South by J. W. Ross et el., and hi which they agreed to pay one-hal- f of the actual C2- - peose, was taken up and discussed, but no action wn rendered on It. Clerk Allen then read a letter in regard to the title of the fifty-tw- taxes sales that he would soon have to give a deed for. He wanted to have the records examined so that the property holders could not come on him for damages if everything wasn't right, and asked the court to appropriate some money for this purpose, as he didn't think he should staud all the cost. This caused a good deal of discussiou and was at last re-ferred to County Attorney Murphy. A. F. Hurd, a man about tiO years of age, made a request to be sent to the infirmary. He stated he had been there for several months, aud was discharged about March 11th. That he had always done auy work that they had requested him to do, but ho had not been requested to work from January first to March first, so he hadn't done anything and that was the reason he was discharged, aa tho weather was bad and was scarce, the court made auother allowing him to go to the iuttrniray till further orders and for him to do any work that he is order to do. A petition from Dr. A. B. Dunford, to be, allowed to use water out of city tank, lo. Cftted on the corner of eleven South and West Temple, iu sprinkle his large treei etc. was referred on the grounds that the city would need all tho water they had foi spriukling purposes. Dr. A. 0. MjLean reported that on the 36th inst. there wore eleven county patients at the different hospitals in the city: St. Mirks hospital, 9; St. Marys, 1; Deseret, 1. The resignation of J. C. Morrissey, justice of the peace at Bingham city, was accepted. Mr. Morrissey having found there was more money in the saloon business tiled his bond for that purpose this morniug. A petition was presented from the board of directors of the Orphan's Homo and Day Nursery that they had been organized aud hap carried on charities for the past seven and a half years. That the object of said home is to take care of indigent pauper's children of the territory, and that the great-est number of them came from Salt Lake county; and that if it was not for the insti-tution they would lie a charge on the coun-ty, the exact number of said children it would be impossible to state, as they are cokstantly coming and going. At present there are about twelve who would be a charge upou the county of Salt Lake were it not for this place, and perhaps that would j be a fair average of the number there during the year. . .. Under the circumstances your petitioners respectfully request that you will examine into the circumstances and make some monthly or yearly allowance to the Orphans Ionic and Day Nursery lor the support of .lie poor hildren under their charge, w hich belongs to Salt Lake county. The. court discussed the question, and then decided that they had better put in a bill, aa that would be the best way to get at it. The following bonds were read and ap- - proved: Alen Hall, to carry on the business of a retail liquor dealer at West Jordan; se. curity, James Hilton. S. ( '. Pender and O. F. Walton, to carry on the business of re-tail liquor dealers at Sugar ward, Eleventh East between Eleventh and Twelfth Si.uth; securities, Charles Thclson and Henry J. C.

Iler brown and gray gown, shaded almost perfectly to bide dirt, bad seemingly lost its faculty and called attention the louder to its accumulated soil. I truly believe that the little midget had rolled ovr and over on the ground, scratching up whole handsfuU ejf. dust and casting it over herself iu mere wan-tonness of shabhiness. Maybe, it was Lent when I saw her, it was a Hitting on of sackcloth and ashes, a pen-ance foi her misdeeds, only she was a fe-male. know that she was very dirty, dirty with that expressive drab dirtiness which, in see-ing, suggests that there is more thau ap-pears on file surface. Did I say she was a midget? Well, she is, and a matron, too ; and the queerest little midget and the quaintest little matron in the world. Of course, she's queer, you know; her ancestors came from England. Everybody knows her as a gossipy, o'er talkative little dame, who is on the street from early morn 'til dewy eve, chattering perpetually, until night throws its cloak upon the earth. She is quarrelsome, too. She is a belligerent little midget, but no oue ever questions her courage. In the neighborhood where she lives she reigns supreme. She has ecoldedaud fought away all her former neighbors, driven them' far away Into other climos. Everybody misses her former neighbors, too. Ttrny were a sweet, confiding little set of folk, at-tending to their own business and uncon-sciously gladdening many a heavy heart with songs so sweet ami simple that they seemed the very voice of nature. But this drab and gray little midget with her querulous voice, her tierce eyes, her pertinacious proclivities, has drivein them all away into the misty realms where we look iu vain for our lost treasures, our half forgotten deeds, wiiere wo stretch out our hands so piteously to the dead hopes of youth. Yes, the former neighbors of the little brown midget are mere memories of things that have vanished, that come to us with a pleasing sort of cadence as we watch the tyrannical little usurper performing the functions of its predecessors with none, of their graces, nor none of their sweetness. Boisterous March had spent nineteen days of its roaring, useless protest against the lapse of winter. The wiud was soughing around the eves of the house, mourning as if its heart were breaking, and carrying a feeling of desolation aud misery to all In. bound. The dry leaves drifted hither and thither, lifted by the mad March wind with a dead e, aekling soundto bade move on and join the dead winter, aud, under protect, muke room for spring. The dreary clouds hung high and obscured the pretty sunlight; the air was humid jialniost to mistiness; a pall seemed to hang over everything, and March roared out its dirges for winter's death. From the verandah outside the parlor window I heard the voice of the queralous little usurper and her mate. I peered out. There they stood upon the rail. Erect, quivering with fierce emotion, little mouths wide open, a torrent of violent joint abuse set in a high key pouring from their Tittle throats. "Ah, midgets, midgets," I said, "is this the welcome you give to spring Your pre-decessors were wont to split their throats with pretty soinr." "Chir rup," cried the mate as he flew to the ground, where his tierce brown eye had spied a crumb. "Chirp! Chirp!" he cried, but Midget with the soiled brown coat was not to be appeased. The winter was over, living was easy, for down where the March win4 had lifted tho dead leaves bidding them speed to nowhere she could see the first tiny shoots of gra s just I fting their wee heads, and this meant bug-galo-for the mere picking, and a whole crop of good things handily in store. She had, alas! already forgotten that her lord, tlie mighty midget with the white throat, had tided her through a hard season. Spring was at hand, and gratitude had flown with winter. But the midget down below knew his mate. He strode over to where a strong but dainty w isp of i.'iass root lay entangled in a weed. He picked it loose. Then with a tongue that had lost its querulousness, he spoke in a tone subdued aud sweet, I think of Hope. From out her coat of sober brown the midget shook the dust and lightly landed at her lordly master's feet. He watched her gently band her head and take the wisp of grass between her bill. Up to the first, limb of the tall tree iu the yard she tlew and added this little "olive branch ' lo a summer home already begun. The sun broke through tLt clouds and shed its warmth and light upon everything around. The wind cca-e- d to roar. From out the concave depths of the newly made nest the dowdy little midget put forth her cunning head, and in the softest notes of her voice piped down to her mate. The family jar was at. an end, the discord was over, and Spring had come. He warbled a guttural long for half a moment, pruned his feathers 'til they shone, atid flew straight to where one liny nest held close two beating hearts. RSOIIABD VVei.i.s. BRUISED IN THE BATH. J A l'ruminent Cttiicu of Milwaukee Dies as the ltesuft of an Atteuduut's Carelessness. August H. Kiiitelman, a prominent real estate man and capitalist of Milwaukee, died this morning at 5 o'clock at St, Mary's hospital, of blood poiaouiug. Mr. Kiiitelman and from Milwau-kee had been on a visit to the coast. They were D. J. Hayes M.D., J. F. Laitoele, esq., aud J. A. Hach. It seems that Mr. Kintel-ma- n was not feeling very well while in San Francisco, and went into a Turkish bath. The attendant while nthbing bard happened to let his hand slip, and hit the unfortunate man in the side. It was a little painful at the time but nothing special was thought of it, and the party started on the journey home, but before they arrived In this city the spot began to swell and cellulitis set in, which was followed by pyemia. Mr. was taken to the hospital on his ar-rival here and his brother at once wired. The latter arrived here Friday morning and an operation wan performed by Drs. Fink-erlo-aud J. S. Bach of Millwiy, III. , but it was too late, aud the unfortunate man passed away this morniug. Ills remains were at once removed and will be embalmed and scut cast tonight. Mr. Kinteiman is said to have carried a heavy insurance, and as there seems to be something very strange in regard to the bruise that led up to bis death a thorough iuvestigat n will lie made.

The case of Frank Hoycc against the Union Pacific Railway company also comes up on appeal. The respondent obtained judgment in the sum of $1500 against the appellant, in tho lower court, for damages sustained while bathing at (iartield. A transcript has been tiled iu the case of Nephi Irrigation coniptn vs. Richard Jen-kins, aud will also lie disposed of at this term, which promises to be a most eventful one. P. O. S. OF A.
