E. P. Baldwin, late auditor of the Treasury Department, died at Atlantic City this morning, as the result of an operation performed for appendicitis. Mr. Baldwin had been at Atlantic City for about ten days, and it was thought that the change of air at that resort would result in bringing him back to health. The operation that was performed, however, did not turn out as was expected, and his death took place this morning.Mr. Baldwin’s residence is at Laurel, Md. He leaves a wife and three children—two daughters and a son—and his daughter is at present employed in the Treasury Department. He has had since the severance of his connection with the Treasury Department a law office in the Randall building, on G street between 14th and 15th streets, and carried on there a lucrative business.Mr. Ernest P. Baldwin was forty-seven years of age and well known in this city through his long connection with the Treasury Department, where he rendered faithful and efficient service to the government. He was born in Bladensburg, Md., in 1851, and served in the navy during the war as an apothecary on the United States ship Penobscot of the north Atlantic squadron.In 1871 he moved to Missouri and engaged in the practice of law there. He was prosecuting attorney for three terms and was a member of the state senate from the twentieth district. In August, 1885 he was appointed chief of a division in the office of the controller of the currency, and two months afterward was appointed deputy first auditor, in which he rendered excellent service.He was prominently identified with the work of revising the methods of business in the Treasury Department. While deputy first auditor, he was directed by the Secretary of the Treasury to take charge of and instruct the representatives sent by the Japanese government to this and the governments of Europe to investigate their financial methods, with a view to formulating a financial system for the new form of government granted by the Emperor of Japan.In this work he visited European countries and Japan, and was thanked by the government of Japan for his services. The system he recommended was adopted by Japan, and is now in successful operation.In March, 1893, he was made auditor of the treasury, and served in that capacity until June 8 last.
