Grady at Atlanta. Artanta, Ga., Dec. 23.—Henry W. Grady died of pneumonia at twenty minutes before four this morning. With perhaps a single ex- ception Henry Woodfen Grady was the best known editor in all the southern states. He stood in the front rank of American journalists and the prospect of none was brighter. His father was a colonel in the confederate ——, and lost his life in battle when his son was only fourteen years old. Young Grady was edu- cated at the University of Georgia, in his native city, where he graduated at the head of his class, and his studies were afterwards continued t the University of Virginia. From the tirst Mr. Grady was strongly attached to journalism, and on leaving college, a lad of nineteen, he started a daily paper on his own account at Boss, Ga., which failed of support. He moved to Atlanta and issued the Atlanta Herald and afterward the Atlanta Courter, both of which ventures proved unsuccessful. ' His ready pen, however, found plenty of employment. He wrote for the Atlanta Constitution, the Louis- ville Courier-Journal and other papers. James Gordon Bennett the elder appointed him ea Georgia correspondent for abe New York Herald, a post which he held for six years, A fortunate speculation, 1t is said. in railroad stock yielded him £20,000, which he very wisely invested in @ quarter interest in the Atlanta Constitution, This interest, now enormously enhanced, he still owned when he died. Inthe December following the Charleston catastropue Mr. Grady delivered an address in New York at the annual dinner of the New England society on the “New South.” That speech was and still is applauded all over the country, south as well as north, and helped to make its author famous in remote localities where his name had not hitherto been known. Mr. Grady's last public appearance was at the recent dinner of the Boston merchants’ club, where he and ex- President Cleveland played star parts,- His theme then was the status of the negro in the south, and newspapers throughout the country are still quoting from its ringing sentences and commenting upon his stirring utterances on that occasion. ‘MR. GRADY'S ILLNESS. Mr. Grady was ill when he left Atlanta for Boston to deliver the speech recently delivered there. He went contrary to the advice of his physicma and returned quite sick. Saturday is condition was ver ty serious and Sunday it was understood that there was very little hope for his recovery. The announcement that his death was possible was agreat shock to the people and the most intense interest was felt, v 10:30 o'clock last night he began growing worse, and at 3 o'clock he was said to be dying. At 3:40 he quietly breathed his lust. When daylight came and the news of his death spread over the city it created a sorrow never equaled here before. ‘The arrangements for the funeral have not been made yet. Mr. Grady was born in Athens, Ga., in 1851, and will probably be buried there beside his father, who was killed in the war while gallantly lead- ing the 25th North Carolina regiment at Peters- burg. Mr. Grady leaves a widow and two chil- dren. MOURNED IN CHARLESTON. Cuanteston, 8.C., Dec. 23,—Henry W.
