residing in this city for more than a
year, died yesterday at Avalon
from the effects of an accidental
fall while roller skating. He ana his

means of amusement, and on Tuesday af-
ternoon after a surf bath, he went to
the rink and began trying to teach some
children how to skate. In making a
short turn he fell, his head striking ths
floor with great violence. He was una
those who ran to his assistance where
his quarters were. He soon afterward
relapsed into inconsistencies and all
efforts to arouse him failed Three ply
sicians were in constant attendance at
his bedside. They pronounced the case
hopeless from the beginning, diagnosing
the case as rupture of a small blood
vessel beneath the skull. Hutchins
home was al Portland, Or. Hisresidence
in this city was at 424 Temple street The
body was brought to this city for inter
ment. An inquest will be held by the

Col. Fairfax Iufured.

Colonel Fairfax was painfully but not
dangerously hurt yesterday afternoon by
falling down stairs at the boarding house
where General Longstreet is stopping on
L street near Vermont avenue. Colonel
Fairfax had been to see President McKia-
ley in the interest of General Longstreers
candidacy for the commissionership OF rail-
roads. and it is said he was assured by
the President that he would give the place
which is now held by General Wade Hamp-
ton to General Longstreet. Greatly
pleased with the information he hurried to
convey the tidings 10 the latter. Upon
reaching General Longstreet's stopping
place he was directed by the head OF The
house to go through the hall and up to
the generals room. The hall was, hog-
ever. it is said, quite dark and Colonel
Fairfax had not gone far before he passed
through open door and fell headlong
down a flight of stairs leading TO the base
ment. The colonel struck his head and
his shoulder and was badly bruised, but
fortunately escaped without breaking any
bones. 1t is a singular coincidence that
Senator Daniel, also of Virginia, fell down
the same steps several years ago. After
the accident Colonel Fairfax was removed
to the residence of his daughter. Mrs. Eliz-
abeth Fairfax Ayres, No. lZI2 New Hamp-
shire avenue, where he was today thought
