Turning, ho perceived with horor that tho commissioner was thrown forward on his desk, in tho throes of death. In an instant ho grasped tho situation and bounded into the hall in search of assistance. Captain Edmundson, of the adjutant general's office, and Messrs. Scott, Plutn and Thomas M. Hliea, of Boilofontalno, chanced to be entering tho hall and they immediately ran into tho ofllco where tho dying man was found on tho iloor.
