Edwin Booth, the actor, died In the Tlay rV club in Naw York City, at 1:13 Wednes day morning. Hi end wa peaceful. He wai uncon scious for tome minutes before he died. The last four years of Mr. I)oth's II fo have been passed at 'he Flayers' Club, in compsraiive reilrement. During the sum mer months of IHiil -2 he spent considerable time with bis daughter at Narragansett Beach, It was in the latter year, whll making his annnal visit, that lie was so seriously ill at her home. Hi fne ds par ticularly solicitous for his hea th Just at th tirae.had grave apprehensions that he would not have sufficient stre (th to warrant tfrmpting a return to Nw York, but with cooler weather came an improvement in his condition and be returned to the Flayers Club In October. Fron this time those who knew him moat intimately remarked a steady decline in his health. rARria or th cheat traokmah. Edwin Thomas Booth, the most eminent of the son of Juniu Brutus Booth, was born at Belair, near Haiti more, Md., Novem ber 13, 183. and was trained for the dra matic profession. Having tilled many minor parta he made hi appearance on the eAaee aa "iressell" in ' Richard III" in I.H40. and trformed the character of "Itichard III." in place of hi fullif r, who had beeu sudden ly taken ill. in 18 1. Altera tour through California. Australia, and the Sandwich Islands, he reappeared at New York lu 1A7, visited England and the continent in 18111, and returning to New York commenced a eerie of fcliiikercsii revival at the Win ter Garden Theater in I Mi a. Thi establish ment was totally (lest roved bv fire, March 2, 1807. when. in addition to 'the stage ef fects, of which he was the princinl owner, Mr. Booth lost hi valuable wardrobe, con taining relics of hia father.Kemble and Mrs. biddons. Mr. Booth, afrer a series of u.'cwful en gageinente In Bo-ton. i'hlladelphia and other large cities, commenced in lsi8 the erection of a new theatre In New York, which, In the irfection of Its arrangements and the completeness of all its appoint mcnts,arpassed any other theatrical edifice in the L' nited Htate. It wa oned in 1870 ami was liberally patronized, but the cost of the building, in winch Mr. Booth had in vested ail bis means, prevented ultimate pecuniary success, and in 173 it passed from his hands. ATtef tits retriire as manager Mr. Booth appeared before the public as the most suc cessful tragic star in America, in 1801 ha visited i'.nsland, but without making a pro fessional appearance, in IKWl he made ths voyage agum with more profitable results. Alter a series of performances at the I'rin cesa Theatre. London, he tdnyed in opposite roles with Henry Irving. Ilia reception, both as an independent star and as a complement to the reigning favorite at the Lyceum The ater, wa encouraging in both a pecuniary and artistic sense. Hcversl years after his return Mr. Booth formed an alliance with Lawrence Barrett, and until the death of the actor in March. IBM. the two were seen together in a repe'toire of Shakespearean and other standard plays. Mr. Booth waa stricken with vertigo while playing 'Othello" with Barrett. AnrilS l88, in Rochester. Mr. Barrett, fearing that the attack wasofa much worse nature than It really proved, made an address to the audience, saying that Mr. Booth would probably not able to ai t again. II recov ered, iiowever. in a few days. After Mr Booth gave hi lust performsnce at the Academy of Music In Brooklyn, on April 3. 1M. his health waa generally poor. The last time he wa seen in public waa on April 3, when he attended Alexander halvini's performance at tb Manhattan Opera House. The WHb anniversary of his birth, which occurred last November, was a sad occasion to the actor and his friends. They gathered at the Flayers' Club with everv accessory of the merriest and most enjoyable of even ings, but he wa too ill to make one of the party. The knowledge was then borne in upon hi well wishers that they would never again see him In health. Mr. Booth waa twice married. His first wife was Mary Devlin, an actress of repute, to whom he wa devote lly attached. After her death he married Mary Bunnion. called Mary McVicker. a daughter of i present Mrs. McVicker by a former union, and a step daughter of J. H. McVicker. the theat rical manager of Cbicaao. 8h was ihcn in be being id year her senior, and died at the nd of 1881, Booth, who had inherited from his father ine insanity oi intemperance, conquered that utterly, many years ago, and nobly and s-rundly trod it beneath Lis feet an.-i b matured in bis career, through acting every kind ot pari, from a dandy negro up to jiuhiti, us hi tost wane cuoice oi ine char acters that afford ecope fee his powers and his aspirations, and rose: tied upon a defi nite, re-tricted repertory.

Linn, 8 years old; unknown man, three children, identity not yet known. The fire wa driven by a fierce south gale, which swept through the city like a prairie tire. Firemen could do but little, even with the help from Moorehead. Cnrselon, Grand Forks and Jamestown. The tire destroyed everything in a path 12 blocks long and 3 wide. But one hotel is left, every grocery bat two. every bank except one, alt the so ciety halls snd all the machinery ware houses except the Walter A. Wood and the Monitor Brill works are in ruins.
