About 3 o'clock he walked to the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Stuart POWRIE, 402 North Chilson avenue. An hour later, while chatting with members of the POWRIE family, he was overcome by a severe stroke.
About a month ago Mr. MEILSTRUP had suffered a paralytic stroke of a light character, from which he speedily recovered, and for the last week he had been in his usual vigorous health. The second stroke, however, passed away at night.
