ITalluro of tlio Heart Announced an tlio i Immodlato Causo of Ills Death It Wits Not Generally Known That no "Was Even Ailing. ' ' Washington, Jan. 11. Benjamin P. Butler, tho lawyer, statesman, politi cian and millionaire manufacturer, died at his Washington residence, No. 220 Now Jersey avenue southeast, at 1:80 o'cclock this morning. , BENJAMIN P. BUTLER. Tho general has always, to a moro or less extent, made his residence in "Wash ington, although many of tho scenes of his successful veptures have been locafc" ,ed elsewhere. During tho present win ter a case which had been decided against him in tho highest courts of the state of Massachuseets, and in which he 'took an appeal to the United States su preme court, has demanded his almost 'constant residence in this city. Every Monday he was a familiar figure .at the Bessions of that body. He was present in court a few weeks ago when, the decisions were handed down. His age, as well as genoral im pairment of his health, while listen ing to tho oral decisions, look ing for his own, was a matter of remark timo and time again. Finally a few weeks ago tho case was decided against him. Whether or not the loss of this case, to which he had paid such close atten tion, brought anything moro than the Borrows of a casual defeat, will not be known. His death created an immense surprise, as it was not even known that ho was ailing, any moro than any man Who had lived and labored bo long would. The announcement this morning that he had died at half-past 1 from fail ure of tho heart, created moro than a little surprise, and at that hour of the night details of his faking off were merely meager.

Being admitted to tho bat in 1841, he immediately became successful as an attorney, especially in criminal cases.

Jw May, 1861, ho became commander of the depart ment of Virginia; hi August of that year ho captured Fort Hatteras and organized an expedition against Now Orleans. (f he federal fleet, under Admiral Farra gut, having virtually captured New Or leans in the spring of 1663, General Butler took possession of tho city and governed until November, 1862, when he was re called. In 1861 he operated with General grant In tho latter's campaign against Ichmond.

Over a Million nnd a Half Dpllars' 'Worth of Property Dt stroyod. Boston, Jan. 11. Not sinco the Thanksgiving fire three years ago has Boston been threatened with such a fire as broko out yesterday on Federal Btreet. It started in a largo building oc cupied by Hecht Brothers, wool dealers, in the building 219, which also faces on Atlantic avenue. Tho cause is not defi nitely known, but tho fire is said to have originated in tho explosion of a gasoline stove in the basement. An alarm was quickly given, followed by a second and third, Calling all tho down-town engines. Tho fire quickly spread through the entiro Hecht build ing, and when Vho firemen arrived on tho scene the wluMo interior was a mass of flames. Adjoining Hecht Brothers, in the same block, were located Patter son Brothors and S. Koschlahd & Com pany, wool dealers, and the fire rapidly spread to their premises, despite the floods of water poured into the struct ures. Next South on Federal street were several old brick buildings, ocou- iod on tho first floor by Chris Carven, iquors: tho Carrollton cafe, and Mc Carry fc Murphy, liquors. These were wrecked in succession by tho flames. The structures were four stories high. While the fire was sweeping these buildings it was also making rapid headway in the other direction. It had communicated with an old waterworks' Bhed and four-story building in the rear of tho Hecht building, both stored with wool and owned Hecht Brothors. Seven firemen wero on tho low roof of tho Bhed when the wall of the warehouse fell over, injuring several of them, but not seriously. This falling wall carried down tho roof of the sheds, and tho in tense fire resulting aided tho progress of fire through to Summer street. The four-story iron building at from 109 to 178 Summer street, adjoined the Hecht warehouse. This building quickly took fire and was soon gutted. It was occu pied by W. A. Stetson & Company and the Corey Lithographing company.

A tangle of trolloy wires in front of the Hecht building was an element of great danger to the firemen and im peded them very much in their work. The total loss by the fire, as esti mated by tho firms interested, is $1,055, 000. CONVICTED OF RIOT. Dut One of tho Dnquesne Strikers Is Ac quitted. Pittsburg, Jan. 11.
