A Chattanooga Lawyer Stricken
With ApOpIexy at Cumberland.

W 1Nn ADODAeAE
Brunswick, Ca, July 4.-James H. Barr
Of Chattanooga, general counsel for the
Chattanooga, Rome and Southern Rail
road. died Of apoplexy while in the surf at
Cumberland to-day His body was discov-
cred living on the edge Of the surf face
downward and within five minutes after
he had been seen alive and apparently well
and romping in the water. The remains
were brought to Brunswick tonight, and
after being packed in ice, We're carried
back 10 Chattanooga, accompanied by
party of his friends.
Mr. Barr's death was tragic in its sud
denness and unseen by any one. He ar
rived in Brunswick this morning, en- route
10 Cumberland with a party of friends
from Chattanooga, who were going to
spend a few days on Cumberland hunt
ing and fishing. In the party were some
of Chartanooga's most prominent lawyers
and politicians. 1t was headed by Attor-
ney Robert Prtchard who tonight made
a statement in substance that the party
were in bathing. and on starting out be
gan to run a foot-race through the surf
Mr. Barr was supposed to be in the party
but on looking back a figure was seen "
ing face downward i'm the edge of the surf
Investigation proved it to be Mr.. Barr
and life was seemingly extinct.
I)t. BUTTS, the hotel physician, was hur-
riedly summoned, but on arriving pro-
nounced him dead. In the meantime. all
the methods used TO revive persons sup
posed 10 have been drowned were without
avail.
As he was seen coming out Of the surf
and In apparently good health until his
body was found lying face downward on
the beach and resting on his oustretched
arm the suppositon is that Mr.. Barr was
ctrt0kaD With ID hafo he
could utter a sound of warning 10 mis-
friends. No water came from his mouth
neither were there any other evidences
that he had met his death by drowning
other than that his body was lying partly
in the water.

Congressman L. F. Livingston, who re-
sponded to ''The Fifth District"
The speaking did not begin until 10

last of the evening. He spoke principally
on patriotic sentiment of the day
As he neared the end of his speech,
Mr. Bryan emphasized the fact that the
money question would not be lost sight
OF in the coming campaign. He said fur
ther that anti-imperialism and ant-trusts
would be subjects allotted prominent
places in the struggle, and that the i'm
portance of these topics was gaining
ground daily.
whether I am nominated or not in 1900
is immarerial 90 me-" said Mr. Bryan;
whether I shall ever again be a candl-
date for any office depends on clrcum-
stances. ] don't want to be candidate
for President unless those who think as
/ do, believe that l can do more for prin-
ciples of the party already adopted than
any one else. 1 would rather help some,
body else win than be the cause of the
party's defeat.
If the Democratic party wants some
body TO lead retreat, they must find some
one accustomed to walking backward The
Democratic party Win not weaken on the
money question, and che question of inn
perialism will bring more votes out of the
Republican party in the coming campaign
than in any of the campaigns since the
last canvas of Abraham Lincoln"
Al the close of the banquet Mr. Bryan
stated to the representative of the Asso-
ciated Press that he had no preference for
the place of holding the next convention.
He will be entirely satisfied with whatever
action the Democratic executive commit-
tee may take in the matter

breast indicated the manner in which he
met death. 1t was from a S2-caliber pis-
tol.
