Duff died at 1:15 o'clock." This was the final official bulletin posted this afternoon on, the gate at the residence on Princess street. Many read it with sad hearts, glanced at the house and passed along. About a month ago Col. Duff con- tracted a severe cold, which necessita- ted his remaining in doors for some days. This developed a hemorrhage of the bladder, fiom which he seem=d to make a good recovery. Then, without warning, came the fatal stroke on Saturday last, when, about noon, he was stricken with a hemorrhage of the brain, which rendered him almost immediately unconscious. He did not make any rally, but gradually de- clined. His vital powers, however, showed an enormous amount of resis- tance against the enevitable approach of death. He gradually faded away, hour by hour, without showing any evidence of gomplete consciousness, but occasionally there seemed to be' some fleeting olimpses of reason, as though he recognized some of his immediat relatives who were gathered at bh bedside. Thee grew fainter towards the end, until death ensued soon af- ter one o'dock. Dr. Garrett. who was constantly in attendance at the bedside of the vete- ran, savs he never saw one who was so sorely stricken display sé much vitality: his death was looked for at least forty-eight hours ago! The late Col. Duff began his military career in the Independent company of Hussars, commanded by the late Col. Maxwell Strange, in which he held the rank as.subaltern. Subsequently, upon the formation of the Canadian militia system, the company, = with others, was merged into one regiment, under the title of the 4th Hussars, and Col. Duff was given command, a post he held until some few years ago. He had a great love for military life, and never missed an annual camp with his regiment. For many vears he occupied the im: portant position of chairman of board of directors of Cataragui 'Cemetery company. . "The deceased was very fond--of flow- ers and was a veteran member of 'the Kingston Hérticultural society. All Sumer lorig the grounds surrounding his home were bright with a large ar- ray of flowers. Tuberous rooted be- gonias were his favorite plants, and of these he had the largest private collection in this district. Though counted as a stern, strict, judge; Col. Duff was a large hearted, generous man, one who did not be- lieve in letting his left hand know what his right hand did, and many a worrowing heart has. becn made lad through his kindness and generosity. He was ever fond: of a joke and joyed keen humor with zest. Col. Dufi received one of, the first long service decorations issued by the militia department, and he felt prond ssion of the coveted jewel. representatives of the lo- cal papers will remember him with kindly feelings, as he always showed them every courtesy and considera- tion. Col. Dufi was one of the oldest mem- bers of St. Andrew's church. His me- ory "went back to the time of Rev. Mr. Barclay. The climax M- of his military career was in 1897, when he was selected to attend the sixtieth jubilee of the reign of Queen Victoria. He was a thorough Britisher and was' proud of his country and sovereign. The last communication Col. Duff addressed to the council was one ask- ing that the police council chamber be put in a proper stateg of repair. The flags on the City 'Hall are hali- masted. out of'respect to the memory of the deceased magisirate. Dr. H. Ramsay, son of the deceased magistrate, is confined to his room, through over-fatigue, occasioned" by long = and constant watching at the bedside of his stricken father. I ---- Near Death Once Before. [t may not be generally known, but is nevertheless" a fact, that fifty-three aco last August, the late Col. Dufi had a narrow escape from meet- ine a-watéry grave, his two com® panions on the occasion going down to rise no more. This occurred on Au- cist 2nd, 1849, when a matched race between three rival sailing yachts was held in the harbor. One of the vachts, row, was owned by the clerks in warchouse; another, Glance. was the property of George Oshorne. It was built at Battersea, and brought to Kingston.
