DEATH OF RUDOLPH FUCHS
New York
Rudolph Fuchs, president of the corporation of Fuchs & Beiderhase, silversmiths, died suddenly of heart failure while at his office, 140 W. 23d St., New York, Thursday morning. Although but thirty-four years old at the time of his death, Mr. Fuchs had been connected with the silverware business for eighteen years and was well-known in the trade. He served his apprenticeship with B. D. Beiderhase & Co., 9 Bond St., New York, and was afterward connected with Adams & Shore, Dominick & Haff and J. F. Fradley & Co. When he left the latter firm in 1884 he went into partnership with his brother Ferdinand, under the firm name of Ferdinand Fuchs & Bro. The partnership was dissolved in 1891, and Mr. Fuchs with Mr. Beiderhase formed the firm of Fuchs & Beiderhase, which April last was incorporated, Mr. Fuchs being elected president.
To his many friends both in the jewelry trade and in private life Mr. Fuchs’ sudden death will cause deep sorrow. The deceased leaves a wife but no children. The funeral took place Saturday.

A SILVER-TOUNGED IRISH JEWELLER
Dublin
An amusing little incident occurred a few days ago in a crowded tramcar on the Dublin to Blackrock line. A lady, wishing a seat, looked smilingly round. A portly, handsome old gentleman immediately stood up and politely offered the lady his place. "Oh, you're a jewel, sir," said the lady as she bowed her acknowledgments for the courtesy. "Not at all, madam," replied the gentleman, with an engaging smile. "I'm a jeweler; I have just set the jewel." Could anything be more gallant than that?

A carboy of sulphuric acid gave a whole afternoon's entertainment at Riley, French & Heffron's factory, North Attleboro, last week. This firm are located on the third floor of the building which they own. The carboy was broken accidentally on their floor, more than a gallon of the fiery liquid ran on to the floor, and chemical action was not long in beginning. Sawdust thrown on it to absorb it resulted in a smoke which drove everyone from that part of the shop. It went through the floor, where it did considerable damage in the shop of W. G. Clark & Co., and thence into the engine room on the ground door. Here the metal of the engine was deeply pitted before oil could be gotten on in quantity to prevent. The ceiling was eaten through and fell off, and for most of the afternoon a force of men were kept busy repairing the damage done by the fluid in its course.

When Dr. Yerdon arrived at the house, two minutes later, Hamlin had stopped snoring. He was dead.
