Ex-Governor Henry Martyn Hoyt
diet! at his residence on South Franklin
street, Wilkes-Barre, on Thursday morn
ing. The ex-governor had been sick for
some years. After his term lie sulfered
severely from Briglit's disease and his
illness so completely undermined his
constitution that he was compelled after
three years practice of law in Philadel
phia to return to his home at the county
seat where he has been ever since.
About a year ago he suffered a severe
stroke of paralysis and since then has
been confined altogether to his house,
taking but little interest in political or
business matters. '
A bout two months ago he was pros
trated by the second stroke of paralysis
and since then did not arise from his
bed. It was thought at the time of the
the second stroke that he would die, but
his strong constitution pulled him
through. He apparently grew no weak
er and continued until the day before
his death to eat and sleep with the ap
petite of a moderately well man. His
mind, however, toward the last became
weakened and though he retained
enough comprehension if his surround
ings and condition to express his simple
wishes, he could do no more. On Wed
nesday evening he became unconscious
and remained so until his death.
Tlic RxGovernor's Career.
Ex-Governor Henry M. Hoyt was de
scended from a family belonging to the
early settlers of the Wyoming valley,
and was born in Luzerne county in 1830.
He remained upon his father's farm
until 1844, when he entered Wyoming
seminary. Here he prepared for Wil
liams _ college, and graduated in 1849.
In 1850 he opened a select school at
Tonawanda, which he conducted for a
year, and then was elected professor of
mathematics in the Wyoming seminary,
which position he filled for two years.
Subsequently he became a student at
law in the office of the late Chief Justice
George W. Woodward, at Wilkes-Barre.
In 1853 he went to Memphis, where
he taught the graded school until recal
led to Pennsylvania by the death of his
fattier, lie then entered the office of
the Hon. Warren J. Woodward, with
whom remained until Mr. Woodward
was called to the supreme bench in 1850,
In the Fremont campaign of that year.
Mr. Hoyt took an active part, ami then
openetr a law office in Wilkes-Barre.
lie soon secured a largo and lucrative
practice, which was resumed after the
war, his attention being given princi
pally to corporation business.
During the War Time*.
In the summer of 1801 he wffe active
in raising the fifty-second regiment
Pennsylvania volunteers, and in consid
eration of his services was commissioned
as lieutenant-colonel by Governor Cur
tin. His regimeni was in the brigade of
General Negley, and participated in the
Peninsular campaign of 1802. Early in
the winter of 1863 the brigade, then
under the command of General VV. W.
11. Davis, was sent to the department of
the South to co operate in the naval at
tack on Fort Suinter. It participated,
under General Gilmore, in the siege
operations conducted on Morris Island
against Fort Warner and Fort Sumter.
In the summer of 18(54 a night attack was
organized by General Foster against Fort
Johnston, in Charleston harbor.
The lire boats commanded by Colonel
Hoyt and the other officers of his regi
ment succeeded in reaching, suprising,
and entering the fort, but, the reinforce
ments not arriving, they found them
selves in the hands of the enemy,
prisoners of war. After being confined
at Macon, Colonel Hoyt was brought
back with tiUU other officers to Charles
ton jail, where they were suppossed to
be under fire from Morris Island.
While on the way from Macon to
Charleston he escaped from the cars
with four other Union officers.
Tracked by ItloodhoundK.
After several days and nights of fruit
less efforts for liberty, they were re
captured by the enemy, with the aid of
bloodhounds, and placed in the Charles
ton jail. Upon being exchanged, Colonel
Iloyt rejoined his regiment.and remain
ed with it until near the closeof the war.
He was promoted to colonel on January
11, 1804, and was mustered out of the
service on November 5, 1804, on the ex
piration of bis term, several months
before the regiment itself was mustered
out. On March 13, 1865, lie was brevet
•ed brigadier-general.
During the year 1867, under an ap
pointment from Governor Geary, lie dis
charged the duties of additional law
judge of the eleventh district, but at the
'.close of the year was superseded by a
Democrat who had been elected by the
people. For six years he was a member
■of the school board of the city of Wilkes-
Barre.
lu 1875 and 1876 Colonel Hoyt was
chairman of the Republican state com
mittee. He was also one the delegates
at-large from this state to the Republi
can national convention of 1876 at
Cincinnati.
As Governor.
In the early part of 1878 Colonel Hoyt j
was brought out as a candidate for the
Republican nomination for governor and
was elected. During his administration
Governor Hoyt vetoed a large number
of acts of the legislature, one of these
which attracted considerable attention
being the disapproval of the bill author
izing women prison inspectors.
One official art, the appointing of his
personal friend, Stanley Woodward, a
Democrat, to a judgeship in this district,
caused great excitement, much partisan
bitterness and personal feeling. Wood
ward was the friend of Hoyt's boyhood,,
and, although a Democrat supported
him for the governorship.
in the spring of 1882, after the nomin-
ation of an Independent Republican
state ticket against General Beaver and
his associates, Governor Hoyt strongly
urged that a new convention should be
held, for the purpose of effecting a com
promise, whereby the party might be
saved from what lie regarded as inevit
able defeat if something of this sort was
not done.
He declared it to be a great mistake to
suppose that the strength of the inde
pendent movement was confined to the
large cities and towns, and predicted
what afterwards happened, that a large
Independent vote would be cast in the
rural districts. He took no part in the
campaign, however, respecting the gen
eral traditions of the state with regard
to this matter, but created a sensation
by his letter on "political indepen
dence."
At the close of his term Governor
Hoyt resumed the practice of law, locat
ing in Philadelphia. Failing health,
however, soon interfered with his work
and his income. Before taking the exec
utive office he had been comparatively
well off, but it was now .necessary for
him to earn bis own living. He did not
reap any financial advantage through
four years' public service. Two years,
ago he returned to Wilkes-Barre and
was appointed by the court as standing
master in chancery, an office worth
about $3900 a year. In September fol
lowing the ex-governor was called upon
to mourn the loss of his wife. He
leaves one son, Henry M. Hoyt, Jr.,
and two daughters.
Governor PaUlson's Proclamation.
Upon the news of his death arriving
at Harrisburg, Governor Pattison issued
a p oclamation, in which he says :
The people of Pennsylvania have re
ceived with profound regret the sad
intelligence of the death of the brave
soldier and honored ex-governor of the
commonwealth, Henry Martyn Hoyt.
A native of Pennsylvania, he revered
and loved the solidity of its mountains,
its men, and its civilization.
As a student, a school teacher, a
lawyer, a judge, a soldier, and a states
man, he exemplified in a remarkable
degree that strength of character and
manly devotion to principle which
characterizes true manhood and genuine
greatness.
As executive of the commonwealth, he
was loyal to the exacting duties and re
sponsibilities of the trying position, and
his acts cast a lustre on his name and
elicited the admiration of all good citi
zens.
After outlining the ex-governor's ca
reer, the proclamation concludes :
Today all admire the character of the
learned professor, the great lawyer, the
upright judge, the gallant soldier and
the able, fearless and scholarly ex
governor, whose courage and indepen
dence reflected the highest credit on
himself, his state and her people.
In consideration of his eminent and
long continued public service it was
ordered that the flags upon the public
buildings be displayed at half mast upon
the day of the funeral, and that the
several departments of the state govern
ment within executive control be closed
upon that day.
The Funernl.
The funeral took place on Saturday
afternoon. Services were held at the
Presbyterian church and the remains
taken to the family vault in Hollenbach
cemetery. The governor had ordered
out the ninth and thirteenth regiments,
but at the request of the family the
order was recalled, as they did not wish
to make any display.
The honorary pall-bearers were Gover
nor Pattison, Samuel Dickson. Col. E.
A. Hancock, General J. W. Latta, of
Philadelphia; Alexander Farnham, Shel
don Reynolds,\General W. W. 11. Davis

Philadelphia.
By an order of Adjuntant General
Greenland to the national guard the flags
on all the armories were placed at half
mast. Seventeen minute guns were fir
ed at all arsenals at 3 P. M. on the day
of the funeral and the usual badge of
mourning will be worn by the guard.
Judge Connolly lluried.

nolly, at St. l'eter's cathedral, Scranton,
on Saturday, was the largest ever held
in the history of Lackawanna county.
A solemn high mass of requiem was
sung. Rev. John Loughran, of Minooka,

JEDDO NEWS.
The four-round glove contest which

Mrs. Granny Quinn, an old and res- :
pected lady of this place, is lying dan- !
gorously ill at her home.
A large number of the residents here

It is strange the disposition some men
have. Here the girls may throw stones
at the club room door when they choose,

smallest boy in the village do the same
ami in an instant all hands are ready to i
follow him with shot guns.
Notices have been posted at the dif- !
ferent collieries to the effect that here
after the semi-monthly pay will cease,
and the employes will he paid monthly j
as formerly. This order is not taken
very kindly by the men, but, as is well ;
known, they are powerless to prevent it.
Too much protection on one hand ami !
no protection from free immigration on j
the other, have done much to bring
about this condition of affairs.
DRIFTON ITEMS.
Tlie children of town are in estaeies
over the annual Christmas jollification
which will take place In about two weeks
hence. The good Coxe ladies, who
never tire trying to make the poor com
fortable, have men already at work
preparing for the event and, as in former
years, there will be nothing lacking to
make the Christmas tree celebration an
occasing to be remembered by the
children.
John Kennedy, of Allentown, spent
Sunday here among friends.
J. Wright, who has filled the position
of draughtsman here, has resigned and
will locate in the western part of the
state.
A whole crew on the I). S. & S. were
suspended indefinitely last week for
running through an open switch.
Nearly half of the crews on the D. S.
& S. were laid off on Friday on account
of the collieries being idle.
The shop boys will hold their annual
ball in the opera house on Friday even
ing. An unusual large nuupber of invita
tions have been sent out to their many
friends.
James Shovlin, a miner, had his hand
severely injured in No. 2 slope by having
a pick run into it.
John Russell is on an extended trip
to Newark, N. J.
It is said by those who pretend to
know, that ere many years what is
known as the "low coal" will be a thing
of the past in the collieries here.
On Saturday evening there was consid
erable excitement created here by the
blowing of the whistle for fire. After a
great 'leal of running around it was
found that the small shanty which is
used by the door boy where the locies
enter No. 1 mine had caught fire from
the stove. It burned to the ground.
A Well Played Drama.
| "The Mariner's Return," as played by
I the Woodring & Moses Dramatic Com-
I pany at the opera house on Saturday
j evening, was very much enjoyed by a
i large audience.
j The drama is one that commands at
' tention and interest from start to finish,
and the energy and spirit with which
the players did their work resulted in a
J performance that was highly creditable.
The audience was surprised at the
j ability shown by the leading characters,
; and expressed approval with frequent
I and hearty applause.
Wm. C. Miller's special scene in the
second act, the old stone bridge, was one
of the most realistic seen here yet, and
the young artist received many con
gratulations upon the success of his
work.
The specialities of Woodringand Faas,
and the music of the P. 0. S. of A. band
helped to make the entertainment all
that could be desired. A repetition of
the play will undoubtedly draw a crowd
ed house.
They Would Not Leave the Track.
On Thursday as the train which leaves
here at noon for White Haven was
going down the grade beyond Sandy
Run, a pair of mules, hitched tandem
got on the track in front of the engine.
Engineer Pickering tooted his whistle
long and vigorously, but in vain, to
drive them oft the track. They paid no
attention, but trotted along leisurely,
forcing him to reduce the train's speed
to almost nothing.
After they had thus trotted along
for nearly a mile, the repeated tooting
of the engine whistle attracted the at
tention of some men at work at the
slope near the track on the other side
of Sandy Run and they head off the
mules and drove them from the track,
although even then their muleships
seemed very much disinclined to yield
the right of way to the iron steed.—

PriKoiier* Discharged.
On November 0 the stable belonging
to John Smith, of Highland, was burned
down, together with his cow and several
chickens. Last Friday he had Joe
Mitchel, John Kurtovich and William
Krout arrested, charging them with
committing the deed.
They were given a hearing before
Squire Buckley. A number of witnesses
were examined, and an adjournment
taken until Saturday evening, when fur
ther testimony was offered.
After hearing the witnesses the justice
discharged the prisoners, as there was
not sufficient evidence to convict them.
Ground Caving In.
j The surface over the Honey lirook
mine caved in on Friday and some parts
j dropped from five to twelve inches.
Since the outbreak of fire in the mines
four weeks ago, the possibility of a cave-1
I in was constantly spoken of.
A party of men were engaged re-tim
boring the slope when symptoms of a
cave-in became manifest. The men had '
barely escaped when the crash came.
The fire is constantly growing worse,
and there is 110 telling how much will be
burned before it is brought under con
trol.
Tlio Year's Immigrant*.
The annual report of W. D. Owen, su
perintendent. ol immigration, shows that

1892; 2801 came in violation of the law
and were returned to their homes. Of
this number 1793 were contract laborers.

They Would Prompt.
An exchange says that if subscribers to
newspapers generally knew how impor
tant it was to publishers to have each
individual subscription paid at the proper
time, they would set down in some ;
conspicious place in their residences the !
date when their subscription expires
and would he as prompt in the payment
as a note in bank.
It is true that so small a sum as a few ,
dollars is not much in theeyesof ninety- j
nine in a hundred subscribers, but the
aggregate of several hundred amount t->
considerable, and anyone can estimate 1
and judge what it may be to any pub-1
lisher engaged inactive business.
