Brig. Gen. Amos S. Kimball, a dis
tinguished officer of the quartermaster's
department, died suddenly yesterday
morning at the family residence, 1923
Belmont road as result Of an attack
of heart disease. He had apparently
been in good health until few hours
before his death. He arose as usual
about o'clock yesterday, and a few
minutes later was found lying on the
floor of the bathroom in a state of
coma. A physician was summoned, but
the old soldier had breathed his last
before his arrival.
Burial will be made in the Arlington
National cemetery. At the request of the
family, only the simplest ceremonies will
be observed The time of the funeral
probably will be settled this evening. 1t
is hoped all the members of the family
can be present. His wife was with Gen
kimball when he died. The other mem
bers are two sons-Maj. Amos w. Kim
ball, quartermaster, L. S. A, stationed in
New York city, and Crazy Kimball OF
Chica go-and two ughters-Mrs. w. F.
Abercrombie. wife of Col Abercrombie of
Wright, Wash, and Mrs. Edgar Russell,
wife of Maj. Russell of the Signal Corps,
stationed at Fort Leavenworth
Active Army Life.
Gen. Eimball served throughout the
civil war, first as first lieutenant, 9Sth
New York Volunteer Infantry, and after
ward as captain in the volunteer quarter
masters department. Before going to the
war he had just graduated from the State
Normal School at Albany. In November
1866. he was appointed an assistant quar-
termaSter, with the rank of captain in
the regular army, and by gradual promo
ton became quai termaSter general, with
the rank of brigadier general, in October,
1902. After brief service in that office
he was transferred to the retired list of
the army at his own request after forty
years service.
During the Spanish war he had charge
of the quartermaSter : depot at New York,
probably the most important station in
to the department at that exciting period.
1t was through that depot that most of
the equipment and stores used by the
army In Cuba was shipped. Over 100000
khaki uniforms Were gotten together there
in twenty-one days for the use Of the
soldiers at the front. which is considered
record for a quartermaster's depot.

PUPILS IN NEW BUILDING.
Addition to the Business High
School Ready for Use.

Pupils of the Business High School this
morning entered the new addition to the
building erected on the r street side of
the school. The addition accommodates
nine sections, a total of about $50 pupils
and by relieving the overcrowded condi-
ton of the school and doing away with
the necessity of holding only afternoon
sessions for some of the classes it is a
great convenience to both teachers and
pupils.
There are at present about go pupils
enrolled at the Business High School. and
until the completion of the addition it was
impossible to accommodate them all at
once under one roof. There was no cere-
mony in connection with the moving into
the new quarters. AS the sections report
ed this morning they were promptly as
signed to their new claSsroomS and work
went on the same as ever.
New furniture for the addition is still
lacking and cannot be secured until an
appropriation is obtained from Congress-
At present the pupils are using second
hand furniture, and chairs that are not
fastened to the floor.
