The CAUSE OF HIS DEATH We
stated in the News of yesterday IL
disbelief in congestion Of the lungs
being the cause of Brier's sudden death
at White Pine, and gave rs our opinion
that heart disease was the true cause,
knowing him 10 be occasionally
afflicted with it in times past. In or
r~oboration Of this. DR.. Z. G. Green, Of
Virginia. Informed us last evening that
our idea was most probably the correct
one, rs he examined Brier over q year
ago and found him suffering from ossi-
fication Of the aorta. He told him
then that when he did die he would
drop Off suddenly. A telegram from
Shcrmantown, however, assigns still
another possible reason for his uucN-
pected death, stating as follows: "He
had just partaken of 4 dish of soup,
after taking a dose Of quinine, and
from n remark he made to the effect
that he had been poisoned, 1t Is feared
the druggist made 4 mistake in the
prescription"
CARL BosCo AND HIS EX~PosITIoS.-
Judging of Bosco from his perform
ances ut Piper's Opera House the last
three evenings, we consider him among
the best in the Sleight of hand and leg
erdemain line, and fully entitled to his
coSnomen OF the Electric Wizard. As
to his exposition of the Davenport rope
tying feats, he succeeded to the salts
faction of most people in his audiences,
and performed Professor Fay'S coat
trick and "dark scance" "a well Is did
the Professor himself. AS we have
before remarked, Bosco isa genius, and
4 good card anywhere. He don't be-
lieve the Davenport's are tied or united
many other people do.

beyond the assistance Of medical skill.
On examination, a piece of opium as
