istratOr of Fisk's estate. On Friday he went
to the Grand Central Hotel, and demanded
the personal property taken from the Colo
nel's pocket after the shooting. The proper
ty includes the ColOnel's immense diamond
pin, his diamond sleeve buttons, and his
diamond ring, and $500 in 500 bank
uotes. Instead of giving up the property,
the proprietor Of the hotel presented bill
Of $500 for allowing Col. Fisk to die in
his house. Mr.. Conner repudiated the ex-
Orbitant bill, and again demanded the per
sOnal property. The proprietor refused to
surrender the property until his bill was
paid. Mr.. Conner will take legal action to
recover the property. Mr.. Conner says that
Fisk's estate will not net over 100000.
The lawyers have eaten up nearly every
thing he possessed.

horses and carriage, and reduce her estab-
lishment. Fisk's life was insured fOr a small

property taken from Fisk's person in the
Grand Central Hotel subject to Mrs. Fisk's
orders.
