 WASHINGTON, D. O., Nov. 13.-Mrs. O. H. Platt, wife of the United States sens- tor from Connecticut, died at 1:25 this afternoon. She has been ailing for some time, but about a week ago was stricken with paralysis. She grew gradually worse and this morning it was evident that the end was but 8 short time off. Shortly be- fore noon the patient became unconsciou us and died in little over an hour.
 Mrs. Platt, whose maiden name was Miss Annie Bull, was born in Towands, Brandford county, Penn. She was sister of the late Wallis Bull, at one time post. master in Meriden.

THERE IS MUCH FIGHTING.

Admiral Cana One of she Ablesi Naval officers in Brazil Has Gone over to the Insurgents.
 LONDON, Nov. 14.-The Times has this dispatch from Rio Janeiro under date oi November 10:
 There was hesving firing on Sunday and Monday by the government on Villegaig non Island. The outside walls were much damaged, but the interior was left intact Two men were killed and seven were wounded. The troops at Mount Castello opened musketry fire at 200 yards on Monday. Fort Villegsiguon and the war ship AquIdsbsn replied with machine guns, killing and wounding twenty soldiers and four spectators. The firing continues night and day and there is an immense waste of ammunition. Two guns at Castello fired upon Fort Villegaignon on Wednesday. The Aquidaban replied and many of her shells fell in the business quarter of the city. Several persons were wounded.
 There are continual skirmishes at Nichtheroy. A torpedo launch was sunk on Wednesday. The casualties on the whole are slight. Some houses have been burned and gas house has been destroyed. The new government cruiser Aurora, built by the Armstrongs, Is expected daily as Is also the Fl Cid, 8 wooden cruiser. The Tamandare Is now completely fitted with machinery and will be @ valuable addition to the insurgents navy.
 Admiral Caldano de Gams, one of the ablest naval officers in Brazil, who hitherto has been neutral, has joined the insurgents, carrying with him the sympathy of great many adherents in both army and navy. He belongs to one of the best families in Brazil. The insurgents thus have bsen enabled to gain the islands of Cobrss and Inehas. Gams has assumed command at Rio and the Aquidaban has gone out in search of the Aurora. The government sent a recruiting commission recently to the state of Minss- Geraes, but 1t has re- turned without accomplishing anything. Three thousand armed and we'll drilled in- surgents are at Desterro and 5000 more have surrounded the government troops st Pelotss and Porto Alegre inssRio Grsnde do Sul.
 They propose to capture these govern ment forces and then proceed to Desterro. The situation If prolonged threatens disas- ter to commercial interests. The mai ority of the business community consider that the recognition of the insurgents as bel ligerents would speedily end the war. Admiral Mello asserts that his sole objec is to establish blocksdes. Life and prop erty would bs saved by such a course. The Times correspondent confirms the report of the hoisting of the imperial flag by the insurgents and suggests that this was the signal for Gsms and his fol lowers to go over to the insurgent squad ron.

IN BOOTHS MEMORY.

Services Held at the Madison Square Garden Concert HaIl-A Tribute From Tomasso salvini.and Henry Irving.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-Memorial services in honor of the late Edwin Booth were held l this afternoon in Madison Square Concert hall. An sssemblsge composed of leading members of the theatrical profession and men and women prominent in the world of art and letters crowded the beautiful hall to it's utmost capacity. Among those in the boxes were: Ellen Terry, ex-Mayor Hewitt, Charles Dudley Warner, Mark Twain, A. N. Palmer, Lawrence Hutton, Daniel Frohman, T. E. .Aldrich, BranderMat- thews, Francis Wilson, Edmund 0. Sted- man, Edward Hsrrigan, Tony Pastor, E. H. Southern, Georgia Csyvan, President Seth Low of Columbia, R. W. Glider, F. N. Mackey, Eben Plympton, Nat Goodwin, Mary Mapes Dodge, Hopkinton Smith, Horace Porter, Rev. Theodore O. Williams and Sol Smith Russell.
 The hall was beautifully decorated with palms and evergreens, and In the middle of the platform was Launt Thompssn's bronze bust of Edwin Booth. Walter Damrooh's full symphony orchestra of eighty instruments played the desd march from Saul, one of Mir. Booths fsvorite pieces of music, which was always played st his performances of "Halnlet, and then Joseph Jefferson delivered the opening ad- dress.
 Professor George E. Woodberry read 6 poem written by himself for the occasion. The orchestra played Tchaikovsky's Ham, let Fantasie and then Tomasso Salvini de- hvered an address in Italian, translation of which was read by Henry Miller. AL though but few in the audience understood NIT. Salvini the great trsgedisn's manner of delivery, warmth of expression and gesticulatfon won for him rounds of sp- plause. He referred to the greatness of the genius of Booth, his refinement as 8 man and his generosity to those of his pro- fession.
 Henry Irving, who spoke next, was warmly greeted. He said that thirty years ago he acted Mercutio, Bsssanio, Lsertes, Cassie, Welboen and Wilford, in the stock companies where Booth was the star who fitted across the horizon, bright, bouyant, alert, full of vigor, force and genius-an example to young actors and one who lived to show him something of the great tra- gedisn, the genius which he had inherited and the art which he had learned from his grandfather. It had been a pleasure to him, MT. Irving added, to have an oppor- tunity later to act under Booth, when Booth was the star in Mir. Irving's own theater.
 Park Goodwin delivered the commem- orative address. He paid a glowing trib- ute to MT. Booth as an actor and a gentle man, and referred to his interest in the Players club.
 Gounod's ''Slumber Music" in Romeo and Juliet concluded the program.

Cut or From Escape Several Menwere Roasted to Death-An n Explosion Of a Lamp Caused the Fire-The Dead and IDJnred Were Members of the Young Mems Christian Association O n A Number of Persons IDj ured Some of Them Fatally.
 MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. 13.-Fire broke out this evening In the Wetter block on Main street and before the flames were checked nearly a million dollars worth of property went up in smoke. Four lives, it is believed, were lost, while several per sons were injured, some fatally, in jump ing from the burning building.
 At about a quarter past seven o'clock people in the vicinity were startled by the report of an explosion~and fash. In an lower floor of the six-story building occu- pied by the Schmalz Reid Hardware com- pany. The second, third, fourth and fifth stories were occupied by the Young Mems Christian association, and 1t was in this place that the loss of life occurred. The fire started from the explosion of large oil lamp near the stairway, and in three minutes the entire front of the building was in flames and all means of exit were cut off.
 There were about fifteen people in the library when the alarm was given. They made wild rush for the Main street exit, only to be driven back by the flames. They then rushed in a bunch for the win dows at the rear, but the flames had spread GO rapidly that the facings of the windows were already on fire. The frightened people stood huddled together at window for 8 moment or two when the crowd be. low yelled "jump for your Hves."
 One man jumped and was caught on @ telegraph wire, but was rescued. He was followed moment later by comrade who aimed for the same wire, but missed it and fell to the pavement below. Two other men made the attempt, but they, too, missed the wire and went down on top of their comrades. At this juncture the fire men arrived with ladders, which were quickly run up to the windows. Three men were rescued, but before the others could be reached the flames burned the ladders and the remainder perished in the burning building.
 The names of the killed cannot be learned tonight.
 The seriously injured are: A. K. Perkins, secretary of the Y. M. 0. A., skull crushed, internally injured, leg and right arm broken; will die. Charles Watkins, jsni- tor, internally injured, legs and arm broken; will die. William Boardmsn, leg broken and internally injured; may die. 0. R. White, arm broken and internally injured; will probably recover.
 A number of others were injured, but none fatally. T. H. Bond, who was in the Y. M. 0. A. gymnasium, is missing.
 Secretary Perkins came here few years ago from Pittsfeld, Mass, where his mother resides.
 The fire spread to the building occupied by Lennon & Gate, wholesale dealers in dry goods, and damaged 1t. Lennon & Gate's stock will prove 8 total loss. The fremen prevented the spread of the fire on the south side of the Wetter building.
