long useful career of Judge Allen G. Thurman came to a close this afternoon at litr, o'clock at his residence, corner Rich street and NVashington avenue. The end was peaceful in the extreme and the soul of the great man left the Earthly habitation With() Ut a sign of physical distress. At the instant of dtssolulion, awl for some hours before Judge Thurman had been lying in an unconscious col, dition. lie passed merely front sleep temporal to sleep eternal and the change was hardly noticeable even to the loved Cults who surrounded his bedside.

In the midst of the volumes of knowledge he prized so dearly, and amid the scenes where he has spent so many pleasant hours of his happy old age, the vital spark took wing front the Image of clay. Judge Thurman died in his beloved library which looks toward the setting sun. Shortly after his fall several weeks ago, Judge Thurmans bed was moved from the adjoining -bedroom to his library and he remained there. Judge Thurman has lived with his son, Allen W. Thurman, since the death of Ills wife several years ago, and being unable to leave the house, he occupied apartments in the tecond story of the residence, where he spent the last days of his life in a remarkably pleasant and agreeable manner.

The beginning of Judge Thurmans fatal illness dates from November 7 last, w'aen he fell heavily while walking across the library floor. A few days after the fall Judge Thurman's life was despaired of, but he rallied from the shock, and at tittles apparently seemed to have regained his old-time vigor. November 13 Judge Thur! man was 1,,2 years of age, and on that date several of his old friends called on him and had a pleasant chat. On that occasion he smoked a cigar with his friends and seemed unusually cheerful awl bright. Since the accident he has bad his good days and his had ones.

Ile had been confined to his bed nearly all the time, and his physician, Dr. W. II. 'Whitaker, called on him daily. That he was steadily growing weaker was apparent to all, and it haft been known for some time that his lease of life could not be protracted much longer.

On account of his confinement to bed Judge Thurman began to ha afflicted with bed sores, and in order to relieve this unpleasantness he at times sat up and stood up, but he had not attempted to walk since his fall. Last Tuesday, when Dr. Whitaker called, he found his patient sitting up in a chair, snicking a cigar and apparently enjoying it. He shook hands with the doctor, and said: dear doctor, sit down and talk to me." Ile seemed very buoyant, and cracked a joke, and, as was his habit, talked to the doctor in French. It should be remarked that recently It seemed to be one of Judge Thurman's delights to talk French, showing the remarkable vigor of hie mental powers.

Last Tuesday Dr. Whitaker noticed that he did not continue his French conversation as long as usual, and soil tired of his cigar, and when he got back into bed his pulse was rather feeble. When Dr. Whitaker saw Judge Thurman 'Wednesday about 2 p. m.

he seemed listless and rather heavy about his eyes and in his mental operations. However, he recognized the physician and members of the family. The change for the worst be-ea me Quite marked shortly a (ter midnight Thursday, and at 2 a. m. the family became alarmed and sent for Dr.

Whitaker. At that time Dr. Whitaker found his venerable patient almost uneonsefflus. 'Ain' colts It tilled the bromfflial to a nd his urea hing was labored. Dr.

'Whfla ker aroused hint sufficiently to ask him if he was thirsty, and Judge Thurman nodded his head in assent. Dr. Whitaker gave him a little water and whisky. which he swal10Wed with difficulty. Ile seemed.

however, to be partially conselous of what he was doing. Ile then sank into a heavy stupor from which he was never aroused. It was known at 2 a. m. that the beginning of the end had set in, and the family wire so not MLA.

At 10 o'clock this morning Dr. Whitaker found the patient gradually sinking. He gave him a little water and whisky, which was swallowed meehanieally. Judge Thurman was perfectly uneonscious and remained so until he passed away at p. At the final scene all of the immediate family were at his bedside.

He scented to be free from all distress and during the morning hours all that the sorrowing family could do was to moisten his parched lips at intervals. Those present at the tleath scene were Mr. and Mrs. Allen W. Thurman and the following grandehildren: Lee, Nliss Katherine, Allen ti Jr IMMO and Sterline: Thurman, all children of Mr.

Something Abant tke Career cf the "Old Ron, it This sketch of the career of Judge Thurman appeared in a recent issue of the New York Herald: Allen Granberry Thurman was born at Lynchburg, Nevember 13, For six generations his an had been natives of Virignia. His grandfather fought in the Revolutionary war. His father was the Rev. P.

Thurman. His mother was the only daughter of Colonel Nathaniel Allen, father of William Allen, who. late in life, became Governor of DIM), When Allen Thurman Wa. but 6 years old his parents removed from Lynchburg to Chillicothe, 0., and there he was educated and resided until he removed to Columbus in which ever since has been his home. Ile studied law with his uncle, Allen, then United States Senator, and subsequently with Noah II.

Fwayne, afterward an a SSOcizi te justice of the Supremo court of the Cnited States. lie was tohnitted to the bar in Is35. and his sole ambition was to beCOlne a good lawyer with a fair practive. In his student days it was his habit to sit: up late at night over his 'woks; It was the fashion here to go to bud soon after dark, both winter and summer; it saved candles, hich had to be made at home. and out of whatever grease the family had saved, and it rnade everybody wake up early enough in the morning to feed the chickens, pigs and stoek.

But Thurman. if he had a hook before him, never went to bed while there were candles or firelight to read by. Ile did Ind. however. reeognize the right of anybody else to be awake late at night, unless they were busy at some serious work.

An old story that 11S told on him for a long time ran this way: lie was way in the middle of a law book one morning, about 3 o'clock, although he wasn't much more than a boy at the time, when a lot of happy Dutchmen came by in a sleigh. singing and; shouting and playing some musical instruments in honor of New Year's morning. The noise his attention, so he raised the window, leaned out, and roared: 'You fools.dont you know better than to be out of bed tit this time of It took a great deal of work to explain to him where the joke against himself came in, but when he saw it he laughed as hard as anyone."

MINISTERS TO TRY COERCION. The ministers composing the "Methodist Episcopal In Aleeting," of whieh Dr. W. A. Quayle is president, have started a holy war against the Christian Scientists.

The first steps hi the matter were taken several weeks ago, when, at one of their meetings, it was decided that unless the directors of the Young Men's Christian assoelation (tented the use of their auditorium to the Western Church of Christ (Scientist), which holds services therein on Eunday mornings, the ministers would withdraw from the Y. M. C. A. their moral and financial support.

This decision, it was directed, should be embodied by Dr. Quayle in a letter to the Y. M. C. which was done about ten days ago.

At the last meeting of the directors of the Y. M. C. which was held last Monday night, the flatter calTIO Up. Atter considerable discussion and thorough consideration the directors decided that, as the Scientists held a lease on the RW11101111111 and this lease had ten months longer to run, it.

was their duty, both us Christians anti honest men, to refuse to abrogate the same; and the secretary was directed to transmit to lir. Quayle a reply to this effect. This was done last Tuesday, and THE NOMINATION? I 11 I 1 1111111 Ili I 1 II 1,1: I) the M. E. ministers not having held a meeting Fince, the matter rests there.

Dr. Quayle was seen by The Times last night, and asked regarding the matter. At first he was inelined to evade the ones-thin. but finally he became less reticent, and admitted the fact. ilteing presseil for full particulars and asked for the views of the ministers upon the subject, Dr.

Quayle said: 'These are the facts: The Methodist Episcopal Ministers' meeting has in proper form tiled this protest before the board of directors of the Y. M. C. A. of this city against an association organized and carried on for the propagation of Christianity sub-letting its auditorium to the Western Chureh of Christ (Scientist) for its services on Sunday, and for the reasons that the Y.

M. V. A. through its speakers. always stands for a personal God.

a personal and divine Christ, mall a sinner. thrist a Savior, and that it is because of this attitude that the Y. I. C. A.

reeeives the support of Christianity." "Now the Christian Seif-ntisis. siecalled, deny the personality of God, the (set of Fin aunt man a sinner, and consequently, deny Christ as a savior." titire the reverend doctor excused himself, hastened to his study, stol, returning with an armful of books, consulted one, and resumed: "Mrs. Eddyshe's a Scientist lairdodares that God is principle, not person; that sinners are myths; denies the personality of man, the existence of matterin short, Christian Science views are entirely at variance with the views of christianily. Both can not be right, Christian Scientists have a to enterintia and propagate their opinions; but these OpiniOn8 can not in conscience be aided and abetted by any Christian body, for the self-evident reason that if they are right. Christianity is wrong.

And because these things are so evident, these ministers felt arid do feel that the Y. M. C. which looks to the evangelical Christianity for its support, and without which it could not carry On its workthat this body can not, without self-stultification, sublet Its rooms to the sotiety under co aid era ion. 'As matters now stand, it is clear that while the Y.

M. C. A authorities rent the auditorium from the owner of the building, still it is they and not the owners rent it to the Scientists. And this preachers' meeting agreed with Dr. J.

M. Buckley. who says, 'A wide acquaintance with Christian Scientists. with many of whom I have had the fullest and frankest conversation. leads me to believe that it is one of the worst foes to evangelical Christianity and to rational philitsophy ever seen in tilts that meeting further believes that no Christian church or institution should lend its support to such an mizanization.

To Christian Scientists holding and propagating their own views I here is evidently no objection: but to these views, destructive to all Christian doctrine and life being propagated under the auspices of a Christian body, we hold to be illogical and wrong. Hence our action." Mr. H. M. Beardsley, president of the Y.

M. C. who was asked last evening to give the sentiment of the members of the association, said: "I am very sorry that so much publicity should be given the matier.We have troubles enough to get along as it is, without having a controversy of this nature forced upon us.
