The whole country was startled on Mon- a.v morning bv the intelligence of the sudden death of Vice-President Wilson Although he had beeu removed from the flsnitol building, he was supposed to be recovering from his late attack. He re tired earh on Sunday night and at mid night arose and took a few steps about tho room. He then read a few verses from a little hymn-Look which hag been his constant companion during his illness, and which contained photographs of his wife nd Bon. after which he dropped asleep. He woke again at about 3 o'clock, complain in" of a pain, and was rubbed bv one of the watchmen. Mr. Wilson thanked the mai for his attention and spoke gratefully of the kindness he bad experienced from everybody about him. Soon afterward he fell asleep and rested quietly until o'clock, when he awoke and said he felt better than at any other time since his attack. He asked for his customary glass of bitter water, ami drank it. Immediate ly afterward he lay back on the pillow breathed heavily for a; minute or two, and then, at twenty minutes past 7 o'clock, without a perct pti bio movement, ho ex pired.

The convention of Chief Engineers of Fire Departments which met last summer was composed of men experienced in their vocation, and it did much that was uset ful. The decisions of such a body of men mean something. The chief engin eers are usually persons of weight and influence in their respective departments. They are consulted and their opinions often taken on the introduction of new systems and apparatus for suppressing fires, and on the protections and precau tions best adapted to prevent fires. They are the men largely responsible for the standard of efficiency and discipline main tained in their departments. Acting to gether intelligently in their annual con ventions, they are enabled, by a compari son of views, to arrive at sound judg ments on new questions that arise, and the chief cities of the United otates re ceive the benefit of their conclusions when atchman who had remained during the 1 they return homo.
