She died at No! 5133 South Hals ted. street of acute pneumonia. Th. burial will taJte place Saturday , morning from the Church of the Visitation, Fifty-fifth and Peoria streets, where requiem high mass will be cel ebrated. The remains will be interred at Mount Olivet by the side of those of her husband ratrick, who dropped . dead September 13 last. Since the night' of that historic1 conflagration Mrs, O'Leary's life waa embittered by the' popular belief - that he indirecitly was responsible for the- loss of life and enormous destruction of property. She dt-hted the story vigorously, and to the commission which Investigated the fire and Its causes -' madeaffidavtt that the allegations about herself and the cow and the lamp were tmt-true. but the world was against her. Then she became silent. Entreaties and flattering monetary offers were alike unavailing. She would say nelth-. er yea nor nay even to her friends, and a request to tell the story for publication usually aroused her to a pitch of frenzy. She had never bad a picture I taken before the fire, arrd afterward teadfastly refused to sit before a camera or veri let an artist sketch her. Reporters were especial objects of aversion and hatred, her kith and kin sharing her feelings. And that the spirit did not die with her was shown when a reporter for the Tribune called at the residence and asked for some particulars of her death. "You ar mistaken," waa the answer. "The Mrs. O'Leary who died here today only came to America from Cork six years ago." And with that the door was shut, Mrs. O'Leary had beeen suffering with chronic bronchitis for the last four or live years, and a. week ago this devel-. oped Into-eicute pneumonia. Last Mon-ay "night It was seen she was getting much worse, and, that the'end. was not far off. Accordingly Farther J. B. Feely, of the Church of the Visitation, was sent for. H found Mrs. O'Leary In the full possession of her faculties, but rapidly weakening, so far as bodily strength was concerned.' At the hour ' of 1 o'clock Tuesday morning, soon after Ms arrival at her bedside, he administered to her the last rites of the Roman Catholic Church. From the time she received the sacrament he continued slowly sink until her death yesterday afternoon. She was conscious up to within about tw hours of her death. All her children were about her bed as she breathed her last. A large conee-orse of relatives and friends were at the residence obeying the usual form of paying their respects of sympathy to the family. Father Feely said: "The historic woman has left us. 1 was privileged to be at her bedside when she died and administered the dying benefits of the church while she was yet In perfect health of mind. During the last , six Dennis Sullivan, being duly sworn before me, testifies he was at Patrick O'Leary's bouse, 137 He II oven strt. Sunday iiticht, the 8th or October. 171, from about S.M to about 1 o'clock at niKht. during which time Mr: O'Leary and wife wer in bed; that he went a few lots eaat ef O'Leary's, on the opposite slile of le Ko-v-n street-, until about 9:30 o'clock, when he saw the fire. He went across the street an. cried. "Klre. tire," and went Into O'Leary's barn, when lie found the hay In the loft on fire.- He then nttemptert to cut loose the horse and cows, but failed to save anything but' a half-burnt calf. He then came to O'Leary's and found them out of bed. rVnma Rogan alarmed them during this time at the barn. Subscribed and sworn to before me thta loth day of October. W71. his PENXI3 X SULLIVAN, mark. MICHAEL M DERMOTT, Notary Public for Chicago and Surveyor. The official Inquiry into the origtn of the fire lasted thtee days, and naturally produced a. mass of irrelevant matter. The essential facts are as follows: Mrs. O'Leary testified that she and her family her husband and tlve children were In bfd but not asleep that Sunday night. They knew nothing of the fire until Mr. Sullivan, a drayman, awoke them and said their barn was on fltv. A family named McLaughlin lived in th same house with Mrs. O'Leary. She understood that they were having a "social time" that Sunday night; that thev had an oyster supper; a Mrs. White had told her one member of the family went Into the ham to milk .one of the cow. Patrick O'Leary ewore his wife was In bed by 8 o'clock, and that he followed htr about half an hour later. He was asleep when Sullivan aroused him; had he been awake he might have saved his cows. The Bqard of Police and Fire Commissioners submitted a report after the examination of fifty-one witnesses. This report went on to state that Mr. O'Leary and all hla family were in bed asleep at the time of the tire, and that there was a small party In the front part of the o leary house occupied by McLaughlin a-nd his wife. The report, however, stated no one from McLaughlin's part of the house went near the barn that night. Four theories are aiivujced relative to the origin, of tn fire. First Thai Mrs. O'Leary visited her cows after dark, carrying a lighted ker-osetie lamp, which! was kicked, over by the historic cow. setting fire to the surrounding rubbish". This was the first theory offered and the one most tenaciously adhered to. which theory conceded titat a vicious cow and a pint of oil were sufficient 'cause to pr-xiuce a canflagration that destroyed J192.000.0O0 worth of property at tne rate of $110,000 a. minute. Second That some of O'Leary's neighbors surreptitiously visited-the bam also with a lighted lamp for the purpose of obtaining fren milk for- punch or oyster- stew, and met with a vigorous protest from the cow, which resulted In the conflagration. Third That some boys were enjoying a moment of stolen pleasure in the barn. with pipes or cigars and carelessly let fire fall among the inflammable eui-ecance on the floor. Fourth That the fire was the deliberate work of an incendiary. Evidence collected stnoe the fire seems to iihow It started as early at 8:45 Instead of 9:30, as asserted by nearly all 'writers. A woman's scream was heard in or near ihe O'Leary bam Just be-fore-the fire broke out. but no evidence is obtainable to prove by whom It was uttered. A oroken kecosenn lamp was found in the ruins of the O'Leary barn the day. after theflre. VARIED AND ENJOYABLE. The Entertainment At the Auditorium Last Evening. Foot Races, Cake-Walks and Fire -works About Oaa Thousand Persons Present. The Auditorium park had an audience of about a thousand people last '.night to witness the entertainment got up for the benefit of the Children's Fe years, whenever her health permitted, I H Uja The entertainment was a he had been In attendance at my J walks and fireworks, to say nothing of the music sandwiched between numbers. One of the principal points contributing to the pleasure of the performance was the fine1, clear evening, which made an ohiirrh. Since I have known her she has always been very averse to saying anything concerning the great fire with which she had so close a connection. Her death was very peaceful and quiet." . . i - ......... m, , -. i. f rt t. , Krlflr .M1IA. j, inrcwj .. - ........ . ture ocuples the site where, in 1S71, stood jl the O'Leary cottage. The structure isl outdoor seat desirable. One of the grandest demonstrations of yesterday was to have been the George Washington Memorial League's celebration at Castle wo. d on the. New-burg pike. The list Of speakers on the programme Included cx-Gov. Simon R.Olvar Buckner, Joserh C. Sibley, the Hon. W. O. 11 r ad ley. Senator Voorhees and other great lights. Rut the printed programme held out promises which the event did not fulfill The only big platform gun that did not hang fire was the Hon. V. S. Lin ton, who came with his little red school house. Congressman Kvana also came forward in response. to a call, and spoke a few words of congratulation, The George "Washington Memorial League was early astir, and formed an imposing parade, starting from Eleventh and Jefferson. Battery A. of the Louisville Legion, after having tired Its salute of twenty-five gtins on tbe river front, awaited the procession at Third and Market, where it added a complement of some fifty men in the State Guard uniforms to the long line estl mated by the A. P. A.'s themselves to number over 5,003. To get from the eastern terminus of I the East Broadway, Green street or Barret-avenue cars lo the scene of the picnic was a matter of some little risk. The road which winds along the hill that once belonged to Banker Schwartz is mountainous, and many of the wagons engaged in carrying humanity at 5 cents a head were liable to vicissitudes. But in spite of these drawbacks the grounds were 'well filled with an outing crowd. Many of the-young men wore red-white-and-biue hat-bands ar.d white League badges. Hre and there a man might be seen wearing a calico apron mysteriously printed. There was one man with a white goatee and hat and the full fancy dress equipment of Uncle Sam. Evidently the intention of many was to be very patriotic, but it was the dominant intention of more to have a good time, wander about the woods, uance to Sauer's string band listen to Kurkamp's brass band, eat anything that could be had, drink cifcua lemonade and be merry. The platform dL-play opened with an address of welcom by The lie v. M. P. Hunt. The Hon. It. M. Bowers, of-Iowa. followed with a epeeoh on the objects, aims and principles of the association, its uttity of action throughout the United States and the stand now being taken by Protestanls. After an Intermission, during which the Kurkamp band pUyed, Che Rev. John Christian. D. V., delivered a brief impromptu adJresn on patriotism and freedom of conscience, with no aggressive or controversial features in. It. Meanwhile the Hon. William S Linton, who, with his father, was la guest of Mr. James Bates, had been moving tbout unobserved among the crwd. It 'as not until after dinner that Mr. Linton was Introduced to the crowd tk sat or stood in frrnt of the platform. Though tht little red eohoolhouse, presented to Mr. Linton by WaJiinKton admirers in recognition of his services to the public-school system, had been brought out on a draped float and placed in a promim-nt position on the placform. the speaker himst-lf had not beetH noticed. He spoke of his work in Congress in general, giving a general outlme of It. 'with special reference to the Immigration laws and tne, doctrine of America for Americans. Others who spoke were the Rev. S. M, Gilchrist, of Saginaw. Mich.: Prof. H. C Roberts and the Rev. Berry, of Hardin county. Congressman Evans was stand ing on the platform, where he .was await ing an Introduction to Mr. Linton, when cries of "Evans" began to arise, and It was evident that a speerh from him was expected. Like most of those who had preceded him, Mr. Evans had come, he said, unprepared to make a spech.. He confined himself to a few words of con gratulation upon the size of the audi-eVice and the good order maintained. He said that the hour was late,, and it would not be proper for him to say anything; he would,' therefore, only thank them for their kindness In doing him the honor to call upon him as they had done. The rest of the proceedings were of a purely festive character. Battery A. before limbering up for .the homeward march, fired a third salute of twenty-five guns, having' fired the second on arriving at the- park.

SHOWERS ARE NEAR. Cloudy Weather Will Prevail To-Day In This Vicinity. "Pair in eastern, showers in western portion" Is the forecast for Kentucky to-day. In this vicinity cloudy weather win prevail, with thermometrlc and barome tric conditions gradually becoming favorable for light showers. Although the change in temperature will not be very great, yet it will be noticeably warmer than that of yesterday. As Indicated Wednesday night the area, of high barometer, which then covered the eastern half of the coun try, has dissipated very considerably. At this point the 'barometer fell .13 of an inch in the past twelve hours. Jt has fallen about the same amount jtn all parts of tae Mississippi valley from Louisiana to iManltooa. The center of the "low" or storm are has moved into the Dakotas. The gen. -ral are of the. storm extends east as far as the Ohio valley. Apparently a portion of this general "low" passed north of the lake region and seUled over the Middle Atlantic States.
