THE SAD NEWS IN BOSTON.

Boston, July 16.-The first news of en-
Governor Russell's death was received
with almost absolute incredulity on the
streets of the city. Even members of
the law firm with which he was assoc
ciated refused to look upon the matter
seriously when asked if they were able
to verify the rumor of the ex-governor S
death. 1t was not until after the press
wires had been busy some time that
verifcation of the sad news was OBJ
tanned and there was no further hope
that the story was unfounded. The
most that could be learned here until late
this evening was contained in the follow
ing telegram to Mr.. Joseph b. Russell,
brother of the ex-governor, signed by
Col. Harry f. Russell:
Twill found dead in bed this morning.
Death painless. Probably heart disease.
Start for Boston at once"
Mr.. Russell was in Canada by invita-
ton of Mr. S. +. Dutton of Boston for
the purpose of rest.

that he had slept longer than usual, and
when they went to wake him up it was
found that he was dead. 1t is sup
posed that he died of heart disease.
1t appears that the people who accom-
panied Ex-Governor Russell were his
brother and f. ii. Peabody from Boston.
Their camp was near the Little Pabos
rier, where they had been fishing all day
yesterday, when the ex-governor seemed
in the very best of health.
The tent in which they slept was
divided into two compartments, and as
the ex-governor slept alone the others
never knew he was dead until late this
morning, when they thought it was
time to wake him up. The coroner has
been notified, but has not vet arrived.

Mr.. Russell left his family here Mon
day on pleasure trip to Quebec, accom-
panied by his brother ii. Il. Russell, and
Francis Peabody, Jr. AT the time he
was apparently in perfect physical condi-
ton, excepting that he was somewhat
fatigued after his active and onerous
work at the Chicago convention.
Mrs. Russell this morning visited the
Essex county club, of which organiza-
ton the ex-governor was an enthusiastic
and much respected member, and when
the news arrived she was preparing to
take her children to the club where the
usual children's entertainment was to be
given this afternoon. When the news
of the death was announced at the club
Il shadow was thrown over the tennis
tournament and the entertainment. Tel
egrams from all sections of the country
expressing coincidence are pouring in.
Mrs. Russell, the mother of the dead
statesman, is at Crawford's Notch in
the White mountains and Mrs. Russells
mother is at her home in Cambridge.
SKETCH OF RUSSELL'S LIFE.
William Eustis Russell was born in
Cambridge on January 6. 1857, within

ton in 1873. After his graduation he

Parker was nominated on the first ballot he being the only man put in nomination. There were not many delegates present-about a dozen-but those held proxies, so that twenty-three votes were cast.
 MT. Parker is gentleman well known in business, political and legal circles in the state, and has many personal friends who regret the step which he has taken in abandoning the old democratic ship. All, however, concede his honesty in his views, but not many think that he should have allowed this divergence of opinion to lead him out of the party.

SUCCESSFUL BEYOND DOUBT
The Hawkins Process no Longer
 7 an Experiment.
YESTERDAYS TEST FINAL
Within Four Hours Three Tons of Basic Iron Were Cast Into Excellent Soft Steel.
 Mir. Enslen is Delighted.
Birmingham iron will produce steel.

Birmingham iron will produce steel.
 The fact now stands undisputed, as the steel is to be seen at the Jefferson Steel Manufacturing company's plant in North Birmingham.
 Twice have the officials of the above plant attempted to convert Birming ham iron into merchantable steel, but as often did they fail.
 Determined, however, to give the for mula fair test the cupola of the steel plant was charged yesterday with little over three tons of low silicon or basic iron, made at the Alice furnace this city, out of Red mountain ore, and in the in- credible space of four hours, unprece- dented in the history of steel making, the molten metal was cast Into pigs. As soon as possible thereafter the product was tested in the company's laboratory, and the result developed a first-class soft steel.
 The officials, when the result was made known, were highly delighted, and well might they be, for the work of yesterday is but forerunner of what is to come.
 MT. E. F. Ens1en, in referring to the test of yesterday, said to a State Herald reporter that there is now no room for doubting the efficacy of the Hawkins process in converting Birmingham iron into first-class steel He was more than pleased with the result of the test and said he would start east in day or two with samples of the newly made steel to prove to eastern capital that Birming- ham is what she has always claimed to be, "the iron center of the world"
