DOCTOR YOUNG DEAD
He Passes Away Just After Making an Eloquent Opening Address to the Students.
Doctor William O. Young, the beloved President o Centre College, died suddenly this morning about fifteen minutes after ten o'clock. The news spread rap idly through the town and was a great shock to the community.
Dr. Young died in Professor Nelson's room while one of the classes was at recitation. He had just finished his annual opening address to the students in the chapel and had started through the building, attended by Dr. Edward Warren, of Louisville, and Dr. Morris Waller, of Lebanon, the committee from Synod appointed to visit the college. They went into Prof, Nelson's room and Dr. Young took a seat near the desk. In a few moments he was seen to lean back in his chair, turn very pale and gasp for breath. Those near him went to his assistance and he was placed in a recumbent position, but the end had come. The heart refused to respond and the President passed away, quietly and without pain.
Dr. Young's address this morning, his last official act, was a fitting finale. It was- vigorous, eloquent and impressive. Surely none who heard it will ever forget it. His voice seemed stronger than, it had been for some time, and his manner was happy. He spoke of the encouraging outlook for the college and of its grand possibilities, and closed with an earnest appeal to the young men to not only labor zealously in the accumulation of knowledge, but to be steadfast in their adherence to the teachings of Christ. He was especially tender in his appeals to the young out of the church, to follow in the foot-steps of the Master. Doctor Young, as is generally known had been in feeble health for a long time and frequently during the past year had his friends and family almost despaired of his ever regaining his old-time strength. His death, therefore, while it was very sudden, did not come altogether unheralded. Not yet has come the full realization of what this loss means to the college, to the Church, and to the community. At another time will a befitting sketch and memorial pay tribute to the memory of the deceased. The funeral will be held Saturday morning at half past ten o'ctock at the Second Presbyterian church. The remains will be buried in the Danville cemetery.

DR.W.C.YOUNG
Passes Away With Shocking Suddenness
AT CENTRE COLLEGE.
Had Long Been a Snfferer From Bright's Disease
WAS GREATLY BELOVED
.Danville. Ky, Sept. 16. Special-- Dr. William C Young. President of Centre College, died suddenly this morning shortly after 10 o'clock in Prof. Nelson's room at the Institution. He made his annual address to the students in the chapel and went down stairs with the synod committee. He had only been seated a few moments when he was noticed to settle back in his chair as if overcome with fainting spell, and in a short time he was dead. He did not speak after he was stricken. With him at the time were Dr. Edward Warren, of Louisville; Prof. Nelson and Dr. Morris Waller, of Lebanon.
The talk he had made to the students just prior to his death was his first address to them since the opening of the present session, and he spoke at length upon the encouragements for the future, admonished the students to be zealous in their work and consecrated in their adherence to the teachings of Christ, and expressed the hope that the Lord would spare him through another year.
Dr. Young had been in feeble health for some time, and more than once during the past year had his life been atmost despaired of. About eight months ago his physician informed him that he was suffering from Bright' disease, and while the end to-day was sudden. It was realized that he could not last long.
William C Young was a son of Dr. John C and Cornelia Crittenden Young, his mother having been a daughter of the celebrated John J. Crittenden. He was graduated from Centre College in 1859. He was pastor of churches at Covington. Ky, Madison. Ind., Chicago and of the Central Presbyterian church at Louisville before being called to the presidency of Centre College. He was born April 23, 1842.
Dr. Young stood high in the councils of his church, was Moderator of the General Assembly when it met at Portland and took a prominent part in the Briggs trial. He was famous as an educator and as a devoted Christian minister of the most scholarly attainments. In 1873 he was married in Chicago to Miss Lucy Waller, who died last spring.
The funeral will take place from the Second Presbyterian church Saturday morning at 10:30 o'clock, and the remains will be interred in Danville cemetery.
Dr. Young came to this city from Chicago about sixteen years ago. He was called by the Central Presbyterian church, which was composed of some sixty members who had withdrawn from the First Presbyterian church at Sixth and Green street. He was a very energetic minister and under his guidance the new church grew rapidly. When he left, six years ago, to become President of Centre College, the membership was over 400. Dr. J. M. Richmond succeeded him. While he had charge the new Central church was built at Fourth and Kentucky streets. He was possessed of a happy disposition and made many friends during his stay here.
