GLENN-Ab the residence Of his sister, Mrs.

the 18th October, after a short illness, General
PHILIP B. GLENN, aged 81 years.
With each day some brave spirit disap-
pears nom our midst, some link in the
bond of friendship is seVered, some lyre Of
-lite, to which We have been wont to listen, is
hushed forever. No vain wish TO eulogize the
dead moves the writer OF this brief memorial
70 cast flower upon the grave of one SO gen.
orally known and so universally esteemed,
but desire that this tribute may sOOthingly
fail upon the many hearts TO whom the sub
Jecb Of this notice was endeared. Moving to
SOmerVille, Fayetje county, at an early age.
General GLENN engaged in the practice Of
law, and by untirng energy, combined with a
powerful intellect, he soon became one OF tue
leading lawyers of West Tennessee. A Jack
son Democrat OF the old school, public spirited
as a citizen, active and energetic, combining
rare prudence with unbending. integrity, he
was frequently called upon BY the leading
spirits around him to preside over their coun-
seis and direct their movements. AS a public
speaker General GLENN had few superiors,
and Tor twenty-five years was the acknowl-
edged leader Of his party in West Tennessee.
Honorable in all transactions, modest and IN
assuming in manner, he was true to every
trust or mission, ana never deserted friend
in calamity. Devoted as a husband, kind
and tender as a brother, Wsrm as a friend, his
domestic traits form a wreath OF virtues OF
which the loving hearts to whom he wss dear
may justly be proud. Although not attached
10 any faith, he was true believer in Christ,
and died peacefully leaning on the arm of The
savior, faith kindlipg a light as he passed
into the valley OF death. fearing no evil, for
his soul was at peace with his God.

after examining many eases. the jury
came 70 the conclusion that deata in the

at the hands Of the mate. 1t appears
that the victim got on board the boat

was subsequently, found smoking on q

COMPANIES AFFECTED.


HARTFORD, Conn, November TO-
There has been great excitement here
all day over the Boston fire in insurance
circles. There was at first great anxiety
felt, but when the officers obtained a
correct report Of the fire limits, and had
examined their books, there was at once
q feeling of relief as the losses were
not nearly so great as had been
anticipated; that every company here
will go through in safety, but many who
were depending upon January divi-
dends viii suffer great disappointment.
The Connecticut company loses the
least and will pay every dollar out of
its surplus. The Nationals losses are
one hundred and twenty-five thousand
dollars, and its surplus one hun
dred and ten thousand. The Orient loses
$50, 900, and has a surplus of about that
amount. The Phoenix Insurance Com
pany viii tomorrow issue the following
circular to their agents:

To Agents Of Company;
GENTLEMEN-We have adviees from
ouragentin Boston, which are confirmed
by the records at this Office that our poll
icies in the burnt district viii not ex-
ceed five hundred thousand dollars. Our
net assets, after deducting all liabilities
previous to this fire, are upward of one
million four hundred thousand dollars.

1t is probable that the loss will be much
less than the aggregate of policies, as
large stocks of goods were removed.
The Hartford company has issued the
following circular to its agents: Our
entire amount at risk is six hun
dred thousand dollars; from the fastest
information received, our probable loss
is about $500, 600. The Old Hartford has
8, 355, 600 assets, and will meet its en-
gagements promptly, as it did at the
Chicago. Signed, Geo. L. Chase, Pres
ident. The Etna's loss, though not
definitely ascertained but carefully ap-
proximated, do not exceed seven,hundred
and fifty thousand dollars. The total
losses by Hartford eompanieswill exceed
but trife over two million dollars.
They are all safe.

moved their stock to places Of supposed
security out Of doors, were victims.
These predatory rascaIs arrested by the
police became so numerous that it was
found impossible to accommodate all the
prisoners, and they were therefore dis
chargsd from custody after making resti-
tuition Of the stolen property. Contrary
TO previous reports all dwellings on
Kingston street are saved. The same
is fortunately the case on Lincoln street.
All the RESIDENCES Of Fort Hill section,

fire was checked at five O'Clock

standing, and west Of them they were
untouched by the flames, with the ex-

the walls remained standing. and there
was no further danger in this direc-

BLOWN TO ATOMS.

A determined effort is being made to
prevent any further progress of the
flames in the North ward. The Tran
script building caught fire just before
four o'clock, the flames bursting into the
rear, and spreading with such rapidity
that all hope Of saving it was at once
dispelled. At four o'clock this morning
the fire extended from Washington
street on the west TO the wharves on the
east, and from Milk street on the north
to the Hartford and Erie bridge or the
south, the area of burnt district being
roughly estimated at two hundred acres.
The estimate of a well-known real
estate broker is that the loss on buildings
win average twelve dollars per foot for
this area, and therefore we have a grand
total loss of buildings alone of

BOSTON, November I0.-The fire
which commenced at half-past seven

is now working its way through the
large block between Devonshire and
Congress streets, north Of Water street.
The fire drst broke out Of the rear end Of
large ive-stOry granite building, Nos.
81, SO and 81 Sumner street, directly on
the corner Of Kingston street. This
building was surmOunted with a high
mansard roof overlapping all otLer
buildings in that immediate vicinity.

through the story beneath this roof, and
before an engine or hose carriage was
on the ground,

Al this time, about ten o'clock, the
flames burst up from the top of build

Summer street. Almost before the exis-
tence Of the flames in this quarter was
known, they had spread down through
the buildings and were bursting in q per-
feet torrent from al the windows ia

The Washington Lobby.

Judging from the proceedings in the House
of Representatives on Tuesday, with regard to
excluding ex-members from the floor, the lobby
has about reached the point Of being an
intolerable nuisance. This is clearly the case,
for if it were not the members have too much
consideration for their former colleagues to
talk of excluding them from the floor. The
resolution to exclude from the privilege of the
floor all ex-members engaged in lobbying was
reported by Mr.. Cox taken up and discussed.
The resolution was finally recommitted. In
the debate Mr.. Cox said that "the swarm of
ex-members on the floor had become q
nuisance" and that it was absolutely neces-
sary the House should protect itself. The
"Third House," as the lobby has been called
is made up for the most part Of the cor
morants who have had a taste of Washington
life while in Congress and who hang on to
that city after their constituents have ignored
them. OF late years Tie number has vastly in
creased with the growth of corruption and
with the temptations which an enormous reve-
