Alexandria, Sept. 6.-Special-Mr
Cassius +. Lee died yesterday morning
between 3 and 9 o'clock at the Lee resi-
dence, after three days illness. of inter
seception of the bowels, III the forty
ninth year of his age. His illness was
80 short and death so sudden that the
consulting physicians deemed it import
ant to make post mortem examlna-
ton of the body yesterday at II o'clock,
which resulted in fixing the cause OF
death as above stated.
Mr.. Lee was n great-grandson of
Richard Henry Lee, of Revolutionary
fame and who was one of the signers
of the Declaration of Independence. In
point of character the late Mr.. Lee in
herited much of the disposition of his
distinguished ancestor, being man of
high intellect and of strong convictions,
and lover of his State in whatever lot
she was thrown. He was, however a
little more antiquarian In selecting his
reading matter, taking a special delight
IN the earlier history of Virginia and
her people; and it is said of him that
among his last efforts was the one to in
troduce Gregg's history of the late war
written by an English historian). into
the schools and colleges of the Old Do
minion, on account of its fairness and
accuracy of statement. An intimate
friend states also of him that no longer
than last week he was hunting among
the periodicals of over quarter IF u
century ago for the speech Of Gladstone
In which he argued the recognition of
the Southern Confederacy before the
House of Commons in 1862 But. not
withstanding these strong convictions
that made him the most radical of South
ern men, he bore no i'll will, and said
h h..
rade in Washington this month.
Mr.. Lee leaves a wife, two daughters
and brother. Mr.. Cazenoye Lee, of

began like old time winners by beating
Albany handily. They arrived in the
city nc 3:l5, and took the taily-ho coach
direct to the grounds after having braced
themselves with few railroad sand

Evidently the sight of the ZOO spectators
helped the men TO realize that the people
knew they had been playing in hard luck,
for they put up an exhibition that was
extremely creditable and better than that,
they started in with batting the ball. aud
they kept it up to the end OF the ninth
inning.
The Grays scored two runs In the second
inning on Farrar's single, Collopys base
on balls. Hess error and Smiths single
aided by three stolen bases. Albany also
scored In this inning when Deviin nit TO
