AND OTHER ENTERPRISES.

NEW YORK, Dec 15.-Former United
States Senator Calvin S. Brice died at 3.15
o'clock to-day at his residence in this city
Of pneumonia He contracted severe cold
one week ago to-day. On Friday last he
took to his bed and on Monday morning
his physician said that pneumonia had de-
veloped. Everything known to medical
science was done to save him, but he grew
steadily worse. At Mr.. Brice's bedside when
he died were Mrs. Brice, Capt Stewart M.
Brice John Francis Brice. Miss Helen Brice
and Miss Kate Brice. Another son, w. X.
Brice, is on his way home from China Mr..
Brice was delirious for twenty-four hours
before his death.
Many persons of social and public inn.
portance visited the Brice residence during
the afternoon and evening to offer their
sympathy. There were also many messages
from out of town. 1t is probable that pri-
vate funeral services will be held at the
residence on Saturday morning The re-
mains will be taken to Lima, o.. for inter-
ment soon after the services. The Brice
family plot is in the Presbyterian Cemetery
there. A cablegram, apprising Lieutenant
Brice of his fathers death was sent to
Hong-Kong this afternoon, but no reply had
been received at late hour tonight.
A telegram was sent late tonight to the
Rev. Dr. Wallace Radcliffe of Washington
d. c., asking him to come to this city to
conduct the services. He had not replied
at midnight, but it is believed he will ac-
cept. The body will be taken to Lima, O.
on special train, leaving the Erie depot
at 1:55 pm, Saturday. The funeral ar
rangements at Lima win be announced
later.

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. .15.-The President
of the United States boarded his special
train at midnight tonight after a famous
two days in Atlanta. His visit here has
been a history-making event and the results
will be felt for years to come. The words
Of his famous speech before the Georgia
Legislature echoed through the banquet hall
tonight. In his opening remarks Hon.
Clark Howell, the POSTMASTER of the occa-
sion, read the joint resolutions adopted by
those bodies to-day. The memorable words
of the President having reference to the
part Of the North in caring for the graves
of the Confederate dead was cheered and
cheered and it was with difficulty that the
toastmaster proceeded to the introduction
of the guest of the evening Before the
President was permitted to begin his speech
there were three cheers and tigers thrice
repeated ara it was with difficulty that the
toastmaster could quell the enthusiasm. The
President was in a splendid humor and ap-
plauded the orchestral renditions of Dixie
as repeatedly as he did those Of yankee
Doodle" 1t was a noticeable fact that in
all the gorgeous decorations of the banquet
hall not one Confederate flag appeared. The
Presidents train left the Union Station
shortly after midnight and is due in Tuske-
gee at o'clock Friday morning.

MICHAEL PRENDERGAsT, cut about

EDWARD MORGAN, cut and bruised
by falling bricks.
The building was two-story brick struc-
ture. The lower floor was occupied by the
Palace livery stables, while the second
story contained living apartments. The fire
broke out in an abandoned elevator shaft
in the rear of the building and spread with
great rapidity. The men OF Truck IL had
just begun operations on the Thirty second
street side of. the building and were in the
act of raising a ladder when the entire
south wall suddenly bulged out, falling
upon the men and burying a number Of
them completely. Their comrades made a
desperate effort to get them from under
the bricks and timbers and succeeded after
short delay, but by the time they were
rescued two were dead and several others
may die The wall collapsed so suddenly
that there was no chance of escape for any
of the firemen who were on Thirty-second
street at the time.
Six families lived in the apartments above
the stable proper, and all of them escaped
without trouble, although they saved very
little besides their lives The damage to
the building which was owned by an East
ern capitalist, is $780, To the contents
of the liverty stable, owned by o. ID. Per-
kins, the loss was $1,000 The families who
lived on the upper floors lost all of their eff
fects, valued at altogether $1,000.
