Brewster risked his life In heroic
effort to save his sister from death by
fire, and was himself terribly burned
and disfigured for life. He had most
fascinating manners and was noted for
his brilliant conversational powers.
There is q very interesting anecdote
told of Attorney General Brewster
and his son Andre, now captain In
the United States army, which Is prob

During Mr.. Brewster's term as At

ended, and the prisoner, having been
proven guilty, was sentenced to be

Attorney General, asking him to In
tercede with President Arthur and Sc
cure a reprieve for the prisoner.
This telegram did not reach Wash

for the execution. The Attorney Gen
eral had gone to Philadelphia for the
day, and the telegram was sent to his
house instead of his Office, and placed
ON his desk to await his return.

SENT TWO LETTERS WHEN
PLANNING TO TAKE HIS LIFE

In one of the two letters from the
St. Francis hotel Boyle took an af-
fectionate leave Of a friend and told
him of his intention to die, and in the
other, to the storage company, re-

The young man had, two days pre-
vious TO the writing of the letters,
worked for a month as a dishwasher
in the Pottinger sanitarium of Mon
rovia. although all the while receiving
remittances from home. 1t was
thought at this time that he was de-
spondent over some love affair as he
appeared morose and sullen. He ap-
peared to be a man of education and
refinement The letter addressed to
his former friend at the Monrovia SAN
itarium reads as follows:

where he had paid for two years stor-
age in advance, was as follows

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 4-Arthur
Watson Boyle. the young man who
planned to end his own life September
1 at the st. Francis hotel, committed
suicide with strychnine in his home at
Brennan, Texas, October 9, according
to the letter received today by Man
ager Woods of the st. Francis from
Boyle's uncle. A. w. Watson. Watson
states that the suicide took place the
day after Boyle's return to Brennan,
and the uncle wants to know whether
the youth left any letter giving reas-
on for the deed when he attempted
death here.
1t is thought that a blighted love
affair was the cause of the young
mans act.
A letter addressed to the 3ckins Van
and Storage company in Los Angeles
betrayed Boyle's plan here September
1. in it Boyle said he was going to
kill himself and that he would send
his storage receipt to an aunt. The
storage company wired north and the
hotel management entered Boyle s
room in time to arrest his act, though
he had bought the poison. Boyle was
10 years old. His parents are dead.

PRINCETON, N j., Jan. 2S-Fire
which broke out early this morning in the
Terminal restaurant on WitherspoOn

stroyed about ten buildings and caused a
loss of between SIS. eco and 100000 before IL
was brought under control at $3.50 o'clock.
The destroyed property consists chiefly
of small restaurants and secondhand
shops, with the exception OF tho Alham-
bra building, in which the Terminal res
taurant was located, which was also
used by the order of odd Fellows as their
lodge room.
The burned district Is about 300 feet
on WitherspOon and 100 yards on Spring
street. The flames spread so rapidly that
assistance was asked of Trenton, but be-
fore the apparatus reached here from that
city the flames were under control. The
great danger was of the flames communi-
eating with a huge gas tank which con-
tanned about 5OO,OO0 cubic feet of gas, and
also reaching the Lower Pyne dormitory.
There is no further danger Of the fire
spreading.
All the students in the Princeton uni

flames and in carrying goods from build
ings in the path of the fire. Several build
ings on the opposite side of Witherspoon
street were badly damaged. but the heroic
work of the students, who formed a buck
ct brigade, kept the fire from spreading
to that section.
