New York, Jan. 21.-Gen. Thomas Ewing, ex-Member of Congress from Ohio, is dead. Gen. Ewing’s death was the result of injuries received accidentally yesterday. He had left his home, intending to go down town by the elevated road. As he reached Third avenue a cable car passed, and he stopped directly behind it, not noticing that one from the opposite direction was right upon him. The corner of the car struck him and threw him back several yards. He landed on his head. The General was carried to his home. Gen. Ewing, who was a member of the law firm of Ewing, Whitman & Ewing, of this city, was born in Lancaster, Ohio, in 1829. He was admitted to the bar in Cincinnati in 1856, and went to Kansas during the free soil struggles. When the State of Kansas was admitted to the Union he was appointed Chief Justice, but resigned to enter the Union Army in the civil war as Colonel of the Eleventh Regiment of Kansas. He rose to the rank of Brigadier General, and afterward was brevetted Major General, and had command of the Department of the Missouri. He went to Washington in 1866 as the assistant of ex-Secretary of the Interior Browning. He went back to Ohio in 1870 an entered politics. He was a member of Congress from 1877 to 1883(?), and in 1879 ran for Governor on the Democratic ticket, but was defeated. In 1881 he came to New York to practice law. For many years he was President of the Ohio Society here. He was at one time counsel to the building department, which position he resigned on January 1 last. Gen. Ewing has five children, all grown. Mrs. Ewing is still living.
