Although He Had Been Ailing for Some Time, lie Appeared to He Gradually Gaining- In Health A Complicat ed Case of Bright' Disease the Cauae of Death Pad Away at Macon, Ga. Macoj., Ga., Jan. 25. .Ijstu-e Lucius Quintius Cincinnatius Lamar died at S o'clock last evening. It is a shock to the country. The death was sudden in the extreme, for although he had been ailing for sometime, Justice Lamar appeared to be gradually gaining in health. He came from L. q. c. Lamab. Washington toMa con about a month ago and has been visiting at the residence of Mr. W. H. Virgin in Vineville, a suburb of the city. Yesterday afternoon Justice Lamar took bis overcoat, intending to go to the city, but was met at the door by a friend, Dr. Llewelyn, with whom he returned to the sitting room. At that time and during all the afternoon he was in good spirits, and at dinner this evening he seemed to have a good ap petite. Dr. Llewelyn left the house about 8 o'clock and a few minutes later the justice was seized with violent pains and died at the hour above mentioned. Bright's disease, with angina pectoris, was the direct cause of Judge Lamar's death, and is given by the physicians as being the chief complication in the case. Lucius Quintius Cincinnatius'Lamar was a typical Southerner, with the ardent fiery temperament of his peo ple. He was of Huguenot ancestry, but was born in Putnam county, Georgia, September 17. J. W.
