Death of an eminent scientist in Siemens era era
The Old World reports the death of eminent scientist and engineer Charles William Sies, aged ten days from heart rupture after a period of illness. Physicians had ordered rest, and his condition seemed to improve yesterday before he suddenly declined. The event prompted the Society of Arts to postpone its opening meeting scheduled for tomorrow. The notice reflects a somber tone in late 19th century European science circles.
