Mai From the Effects of Blows |
 But From Apoplexy of the Heart
 -The Remains To Re Brought To |
 This Cfty-Interment To-Day
 The news of Reuben Rice's untimely death | in New York Saturday night caused much l sorrow among his many friends in this city. 1 It was feared by many that he was struck down by some ruffian and robbed, but ad- vices received yesterday confirm the belief held by those who knew him well that he died of apoplexy of the heart, disease from which he had before suffered. There is no foundation for the rumor that he had been robbed.
 Some time since MT. Rice fell from his desk at Barker & Ransom's while working upon his books, having been attacked by the heart disease from which he suffered.
 The remains will be brought to New Ha- ven shortly after o'clock this afternoon and will be taken directly to the Grove street cemetery.
 Further particulars regarding the case are as follows; The deceased in arriving in New York Saturday evening, wh1ther ne wenG from here to visit relatives, took passage, It is believed, by the elevated road, but left the train at a way station, feeling an attack or illness coming on, intending to take short walk before taking the cars to cross the Brooklyn bridge. On the way he was stricken down. When he fell several gentle men sprang to his aid and carried him to the drug store. 68 East Broadway, where he died almost instantly. From the drug store the remains were taken to the police station, thence direct to the undertaker's where every atten- tion was bestowed. The remains were sent to the undertaker's by the coroner and not 10 the morgue as the coroner perceived that the Il that
 would soon be made by friends. Deceased was on his way to visit at the residence or his brother-in-law and sister, MT. ana ME. F. H. Trowbridge, 193 Harrison street, Brooklyn, and had written them that ne was coming, and was specially interested in going as he was also to meet his sister from Chi cago, Mrs. Dater, another sister, Mrs. My gait, wife of MT. George Mygatt, resid- X ing next door to MT. Trowbridge's, also ! his brother, Hon. John s. Rice of Farming \ ton, and his unmarried sister, Miss Rice of this city, who was visiting with her sister, | Mrs. Mygatt His relatives were surprised | that MT. Rice did not appear on Saturday \ night or Sunday. Their first intimation of | sorrow was brief item in the New York \ Sun mentioned yesterday. Their attention ! was called to it by lady. Enq uiry was at ! once instituted by Hon. John s. Rice and MT. George Mygatt, resulting in recognition | of the remains at the undertaker's The only mark of injury up- \ on deceased was a slight abrasion \ of the skin across the nose. The valuables l upon the deceased were in the safe custody | of the coroner. The inquest was held yes \ terday at the undertaker's. Messrs. John S. ! Rice and George Mygatt testified as to the recognition of the remains and the anteee- dents of deceased The coroner then ren- dered 8 report of death from natural causes. The interment will be in the family lot in the Grove street cemetery.
 ' A delegation of Odd Fellows representing Montowese lodge and RdgeIy Degree camp | visited New, York yesterday to ascertain | what arrangements could be made regarding the funeral of their late esteemed brother, Reuben Rice. Upon their return in the evening they reported to members of the or der convened at the office of the Mutual Aid ' association that it was the desire of the rela- ! tives of the deceased in Brooklyn that there | be no demonstration of any kind whatever | at the funeral. Services will be very brief. \ The remains will be carried directly from the | depot to the Grove street cemetery, where
 the burisl will take place. This decision | causes much sorrow and disappointment to | the Odd Fellows, among whom MT. Rice is | held in high esteem; but while they would much prefer that the burial might be attend l ed by the members and with the honors of | the order, still they defer to the wishes of
 the relatives, and no formal demonstration will be made by them.
 THE HARRISON PHALANx.
 Their First Appearance ce-Serenading ! Hon. Henry B. Harrison and Hon.
 George HI. WatrOus-The Speeches.
 The Harrison phalanx, Captain Frank L.
 Bigelow, made their first appearance on the
 streets last evening. They met at the corner
 of Chapel and Union streets and about S:20
 marched up Chapel street, preceded by the
 American band. Forty-one members of the
 company turned out and in their showy uni
 forms presented very creditable appear
 ance. They wear blue coats trimmed with
 white, white brooches striped with, blue,
 black leggins and helmet with red plume.
 An elegant banner was carried upon which
 was inscribed the name of the company and
 bearing 8 striking likeness to the next
 Governor of Connecticut, the Hon. Henry i B. Harrison.
 The company was applauded on the line of
 it's march by the crowds that were upon the
 streets. Red fire was burned in abundance.
 Passing through Chapel and College streets
 the phalanx proceeded to the residence of
 MT. Harrison on Grown street where they
 drew up in line and gave three cheers upon
 MT. Harrison's appearance. He addressed a | ! tlemen, thank you very much for this
 compliment and much more for the higher compliment you have paid me in the choice of a name for your phalanx. The compliment is per ! sonal to me in form, but dare not venture 1 to assume it is wholly personal in fact. Your l great enthusiasm fer the great cause which ] we all have at heart and your kindly feeling | toward any of those who are identified with ! that cause brings you here. There is only l one thing in the world that is more admira-
 ble than an admirable young man, and that l is charming young woman. Now as you
 march through our city with your handsome | uniforms, you must remember that many
 bright eyes will look with admiration ! upon you, and you must endeavor to be merciful and don't pause l too long. If you stop anywhere, do so in 1 front of the house of some honest Democrat blessed with lovely daughters. If you
 should capture one of those lovely young Democrats it would be good thing for one l of you and good thing for our cause. And
 now as bid you good night, wish to re-
 new my thanks and hope that tonight will
 be a happy one for you, as well as the night | after election. If the returns come in as we
 hope they will and as we believe they will, you are not the young men take you for if l you don't paint this town redder than it ever
 was painted before in all it's history"
 1 After vigorous cheering the line Of march
 was resumed to York street, thence to Elm,
 to Temple, to Grove, to Hillhouse avenue, to
 Sachem countermarch to Trumbull and to
 the residence of Hon. George H. Watrous. | Here the company was addressed by MT.
 Watrous, who referred to the speech made
 by Mr. Harrison some time ago in Carll's
 Opera House, in which the character of MT.
 Blaine was discussed. MT. Watrous said
 that he was an interested listener to that | speech and he thought it masterly thing
 Mr. Harrison spoke as 8 lawyer. The
 burden of proof lay with those who
 attacked MT. Blaine, and after review
 of the evidence brought against him he could truthfully say that the case had not
 been made out. Mir Blaine stood at the bar l of the country vindicated man, without
 spot, stain, blemish or shadow MT. Wat
 rous concluded his remarks with an invita-
 tion to the company to partake of refresh ments. Arms were stacked and few min
 utes were pleasantly passed under MT. Wat rous' roof-tree in the enjoyment of his hos ! nitalitv The line of march was again
