The New Heir Presumptive.

LONDON, Jan. 15.-By the death of the
Duke of Clarence and Avondale, Prince
George, of Wales, becomes the heir of the
Prince of Wales and therefore the heir
presumptive to the throne. He was

new gun boat Thrush, and while on this
vessel he was attached to the British
North American squadron. In August
1891, he was promoted to the rank OF
commander in Her Majesty's feet.
1t may here be stated that Prince
George Is far more popular than his de.
ceased brother was among all classes OF

A ROYAL VICTIM OF La GRIP
Cathedral Bells Toll For the
First Time in Many Years
Other Distinguished Victims,

LONDON, Jan. 15.-The Duke Of Clar-
ence passed away at s:l5 O'Clock this
morning.
When the solemn tolling Of the great
bells in st. Paul's Cathedral were heard
this morning they conveyed to everyone
within hearing of their deepmouthed
booming the fact that the Duke Of Clar
ence and Avondale had passed away.
The bells in st. Paul's are never tolled
save on the occasion of the death OF an
heir TO the throne and therefore no FUR
ther information was necessary for the
people of London to make them aware
that after gallant struggle the Duke had
finally succumbed.
The announcement of his death caused
far less commotion in the city than was
expected, but this was no doubt due to
the fact that nearly everybody had giver
up hope yesterday and believed that ths
death was sure to claim the Duke.

COTTON DEALERS FAIL.
Their Load Proves too Heavy
For Them to Carry.
Three Branch Houses in the South VIII
Be Included in the Assignment.

PHILADELPHIA. PA, Jan. 15.-The en-
barrassed cotton and wool commission
firm of Jos. Fl. Coates s. Co., 116 Chest
nut street, this city, made an assignment
yesterday afternoon to Horace b. Fritz.
The assignment is made by JOS. D..
Coates, Harrison B. Schell and John
Walter Gummey, individually, as the
firm Of Coates s. Co. Besides the mem
bers mentioned in the assignment Charles
E. Claghorn and Edward e. Coates are
special partners. The house is the sue,
cessor of Edward Il. Coates s Co., and
Claghorn & Herring have been rated at
nearly $5OO,000.
Messrs. Claghorn & Coates are said to
each have 800, 900 invested in the firm.
There are no preferences and no judg
ments or attachments were brought
against the firm, which has heretofore
stood high in the commercial and finan-
cial world.
There are three branches houses in the
South, which will of course be included
in the assignment.
The immediate cause of the failure was
foreign attachment issued yesterday af-
ternoon for $4,000 by the Farmers and
Mechanics National Bank against the
Washington Manufacturing Company
Gloucester, N. Y, and Jas. H. Coates &
Co.
The cause of the embarrassment is Civ.
en- as the demoralized condition OF the
cotton market 1t is stated that never in
the history of this staple has its market
price been 80 low as it is to-day.
The assets and liabilities of the firm
cannot be stated at this time, but they
will be large.

ANNIsToN, Ala, Jan. 15.-Unitea
States Deputies Colquitt and Briggs re-
turned Tuesday night from the raid into
Cleburne county. A large illicit still of
Mullaly and one other was destroyed.
The officers had narrow escape from
death from Oxana on their return trip
While crossing Snow Creek, which was
badly swollen from the recent rains,
Briggs horse began backing and hit the
officer between the eyes with his head,
stretching him and throwing him from the
saddle. He was carried down stream
quite distance but the cold water re
vived him and he managed to swim
ashore. Colquit was in buggy and
horses became unruly, backing the buggy
into the creek. One of the horses was
drowned, the buggy completely wrecked
and its entire contents lost. Briggs in
iuries are serious but not necessarily
