Little Rock, Ark, Aug. 27.-Horace Hemingway, son of Judge and Mrs. w. E. Hemingway, of this city, died at Portland, Me-, at six o'clock this morning as result of complication Of troubles resulting in meningitis.
 Judge Hemingway and family have been spending the summer at Port land and it was while there that the trouble resulted in the young mans death resulted.
 Young MT. Hemingway was P years Of age and of splendid mental attain. ments. He was graduate of the University of Virginia, and only re- gently completed his course at the Harvard Law School. He was admit ted to the bar in this city during the past Year. He has resided in this city with his parents for a number of years, coming from Mississippi when a lad. He completed the high school course in the Little Rock schools and possessed a large circle of close friends in Little Rock.
 He left for Portland in the early summer with other members of the family. Shortly thereafter it wa. stated in this city that he was ill put was not known here until yester. day that his condition was serious The announcement of the death of the young man was received here in thu
