DEATH OF MR. P. T. McELHERNE. / P. T. McElherne, whose dangerous illness was mentioned in yesterday's TRIBUNE, died at 11:30 o'clock yesterday morning at his residence, May and Taylor streets. The funeral will take place Sunday [11 May 1889]. / Although Mr. McElherne was a native of Canada he had been a resident of Illinois since he was 7 years old. / E. S. Cummings, who was McElherne's law partner for nearly three years said: "He was an able lawyer, and though not brilliant, he would go clear to the bottom of any subject he became interested in. His exhaustive speech on the drainage question is an example. Judge Prendergast from the bench commended it in the highest terms. His genial social qualities endeared him to a large circle of friends." / At the time of his death, Mr. McElherne was retained as counsel for the Republicans in the Tenth Ward case.
