HOT SPRINGS, Ark, April 21. – Maj. John E. Blaine, lately stationed at Helena, Mont., as a Paymaster in the United States army, died at the Army and Navy Hospital early this morning of cerebral paralysis. He arrived here about three weeks ago, and when his illness assumed a serious phase he was taken to the hospital. During the ten days prior to his death the patient's condition was highly precarious and his wife and son were constantly at his bedside. Sunday there was a slight rally, but he remained in a semi-conscious condition throughout, recognizing his relatives only at intervals. The brother of the deceased, James G. Blaine, was expected here from Fort Gibson, but did not come owing to his own illness. The remains will be embalmed and forwarded to South Bend, Ind., for interment. Mrs. Blaine is much prostrated at the death of her husband and fatigued by her constant vigil at his bedside.
(John E. Blaine was born in Washington, Pa., about fifty years ago. In 1868 he was appointed to the Quartermaster's Department of the regular army. He held this position for two years, when he resigned to go into private business. In 1875 he was appointed a Paymaster with the rank of Major and was assigned to duty in the Northwest. His last station was in Helena, Mont.)

Death of Major Blaine
WASHINGTON, April 21 – Adjutant General Drum to-day received a telegram stating that Major John E. Blaine, paymaster, (brother of ex-Secretary Blaine) had died at the Hot Springs, Arkansas, this morning.
Major John E. Blaine was born in 1840, at Brownsville, Penna., being the youngest son of his family. He spent a great part of his life in the west and was living in Kansas City in 1871, when appointed surveyor-general of Montana. Four years later he was made paymaster in the army, with headquarters in Helena. With the exception of a few months' service at New York, in 1886, he was constantly stationed at Helena. His health had long been bad and he went to the Army and Navy hospital at Arkansas Hot Springs for treatment. His malady was partial paralysis, of which he probably died. He married a Miss Fenion of Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, who, with one son and two daughters, survives him.
