He was 67 years old, aud leaves a widow, one son and two daughters. He had held many important State offices during his life, and served one term in the House of Representatives. In lgef3 ho was elected to the United States Senate. He uttered not a sigh or groan, and there was no convulsion of the frame to indicate suffering. He died as easily as a child goes to sleep. His body was taken to his home in Franklin village. His sonin-law, Frank N. Parsons, was in the city and came at once. It has been known by his family and himself for a year that he had heart disease, and this sudden blow was not unexpected. Concord, N. H., October 8.—Hon. Austin F.

He oomplained of being fatigued and seemed to be affected by the beat, which waa unusual for an October day. While standing on the gravel bank he raised his Band to point ont a boundary. Suddenly be aank down until he was almost on his knees, then he pitched forward atone dead, falling at full length and rolling down the bank. Ogdex, Utah, Oct. 8.—The fifty-sixth semi-annual Conference of the Mormon Chnrch convened yesterday at Coalville, a small, isolated settlement in Summit county. The attendance was 100 people. None of the recognized leaders were present except Apostle Richards, who opened the meeting. lie exhorted the saists to stand firm and never surrender their divine right as revealed to them by the prophet. An epistle from the lirst President, John Taylor, issued from his hiding-place, will be read before the conference closes Friday. It is believed that Richards in his opening address, sounded the keynote, of the epistle, and instead of an edict calliug upo their followers to give tip polygamy and respect the law, in accord with the more liberal and better informed Mormons, the policy of the priesthood will remain unchanged.Offpra his services to the people of IJunxsutawiiey and vicinity. rjR.

The last reaching the flat roof with clothes aflre and half smothered. Already the jnst deserted rooms were on tire and to stay on the roof was to perish, as the flames were breaking through the scuttle. The adjoining factory was a two-story house with a peaked roof. To leap to it was perilous, but to remain wns certain death. The employes shrieked in dispair, and a large crowd gathered iu the street below. With shrieks of terror that were echoed in a loud wail from the street, men and women flung themselves off. Minnie Koganski, a young womau living at 64 Bayard street, fell to the street on her hood and was mortally hurt, her skull being crushed in. She was removed to the hospital. A little boy who was clinging to caping of the peak roofed house was rescued by Paul J. Sbappell, an old volunteer fireman, with the aid of some of the citizens and the police. The police went up on the roof of a large tenement house at No. 71 ond threw a rop" down to factory employes still left on the roof of the burniug building and they wero rescued one after the other. Others wero taken into windows from the peak-rool'ed house, A man named Hyinnu Roberts hurt bis arm badly. All this took but a few minutes, and then the police anil liremeu put up ladders. At this time the roof of the factory was on tire but the iiremen were soon masters of the situation. Aclo.se search of burned rooms soon showed nobody had been burned to death.
