Paris, Feb. I'm. Felix Faure, presi-
dent of France, died at 10 o'clock last
night after an illness Of three hours.
1t had been known for some time that
his heart was weak, but the first inti-
nation that he was sick was given at
half past 6 in the afternoon, when a
message was dispatched to the premier,
M. Dupuy, announcing that the presi-
dent was ill.,
About o'clock last night M. Faure,
who was in his study, went to the door
of the room of M. l.. r. je Gall, his
private secretary, and said: II do not
feel well. Come to me-" M. lie Gall i'm

DR.. Humbert, on perceiving that he was
rapidly getting worse, telephoned for
DR.. Lanne-Longue and DR.. Cheurlot,
who arrived with M. Dupuy and were

tery-Aged Jesse Meeker Badly
Burned at Early Street Fire.
Fire on Wednesday night destroyed
the double frame building located at IS
and 90 South street, and owned by L. E..
Sutton of Brooklyn. Hardly had the
alarm been sent in at II 05 o'clock before
flames were shooting skyward from the
center of the building. Two frozen fire
plugs caused delay of nearly twenty
minutes in getting water, but when the
engines finally got to work the effect was
at once noticeable. Although it was too
late to save the burning building the fire.
men devoted their efforts to preventing
the blaze from communicating with the
adjoining places. The firemen did
valiant service which is proved by the
fact that the one story brick building.
occupied by Edward Cooney and owned
by III. w. Miller, was saved, although it
was less than two feet from the walls of
the building that was destroyed. The
Trimmer building on the other side was
not damaged except by the breaking of
all the windows on the side next the fire.
The heat was intense and caused the
breaking of several windows in stores
across the street.
The fire was reported by the police,
who, with others, heard an explosion
simultaneously with the appearance of
the flames. That the blaze originated in
Robert Welcher's bicycle store is certain
but as the tenant denies that the place
contained any combustible materials the
cause is a mystery.
The building was insured for 90, 900,
which amount will cover the loss. An
offer of $40. 600 was made and refused
for the property on Monday and the
would-be purchaser was to meet Mr..
Sutton on Monday next to further con.
slider the matter. The building repre-
sented very small part of the property
value.
OF the tenants Robert Welcher the
bicycle dealer, suffered the greatest loss
His stock, which included eighteen
| bicycles-eight on storage-was valued
at ST. 400, with only $500 insurance. A
tin box containing $50 in silver is sup
posed to have been burned.
Looney & Carroll, which firm used
two floors for storage purposes, lost
plumbing supplies amounting to $500
partially covered by insurance,
Victor Weiss, who was just about t.
open bicycle store in the doomed build
ing, lost sundries and tools valued a
800.
A laundry had been conducted b.
Quong Long in one part of the building
The Chinaman is poorer by about 800
He left for New York the next morning
from which city he came to Morristowl
about ten months ago.
Other losers by Wednesday nights fir
are H. w. Miller, front glass broken b,
heat and rear of building damaged b,
flames, $3.50, covered by insurance
Trimmer building, windows broken ant
sash scorched, 5000; John H. Schmid
Co., windows broken, $75; t. A. Pierson
glass broken, $50.
The firemen worked until after a. m.
when upon returning to the respective
company houses sandwiches and coffe
were enjoyed. These were furnished by
I'll. w. Miller.
