FiSEx's Death.

UNABLE TO RECOGNIZE HIS WIFE
CROWDS OF MOURNERS AND
FRIENDS CONGREGATING AROUND
THE COFFIN-REMOVAL OF THE
BODY FROM TIE GRAND CENTRAL
HOTEL.
The immense crowd of persons who
filled the corridors and Hobbies of the
Grand Cent. al Hotel early yesterday
morning soon learned that the object
of their solicitude was soon to be no
more amongst them. The fact that
his demise was to be mOmentarily eX-
expected became known generally,
and the deepest sympathy was mani
tested towards Mrs. Fisk and the other
relatives of the wounded man. Fears
and hopes alternately swaycd the
minds of all, and there was one period
when the crowd believed, from some
rumor, that there was chance of re-
coverv. But to those who had better
opportunities of learning the true
state of affairs it was plain that the
earthly hours of James Fisk, Jf., were
very few and brief, and they exper-
fenced no surprise when, at l0:47
O'Clock. the doctors issued the formal
announcement that he was no more.
Mrs. Fisk arrived from Boston at
7:30 o'clock, and was at once shown
! into the room where lay her dying
husband. From 4:30 o'clock he had
been i'm n catamose condition, breath
ing stertorously, and with marked
symptoms of falling becoming mani
fest every moment, so that when Mrs.
Fisk arrived the dying man was una
Die to recognize her. The scene that
| followed was most affecting one
Mrs. Fisk, who was in her travelling
dress, clasped her husbands hand and
caressing the hair back from his fore
head whispered, james, James, my
| darling; look up. Don't you know
me >" There was no answer, and see
ing that Fisk was utterly Ensemble to
| her wifely emdearments Mrs. Fisk
| bust into tears. Her cOnvulSive sob
| bing could be heard outside of the sick
room. So touching was the circum-
stance that even the physicians, whose
profession to a certain extent makes
them callOus, were overcome and join
ed in the expression of grief.
From that moment Fisk sank rapid
~. His breathing became more ster-
tOrOus, and the symptoms of approach
ing death more distinctly maTked.-
Near relatives and friends gathered
into the room and clustered around
the physicians, as if searching their
faces for their uneXpressed thoughts.
1t was no longer q question OF the pos
sibility of death, but one for how long
death would fail to assert his power.
FISK DIES EASY.
At IO:l5 there were in the room Mrs.
Fisk, Miss Harrott, Messrs. Charles
Moore and 5. Sanderson, brothers-in-
law of Fisk; Mr.. Pollard, Mr.. Will
liam Belden, Mr.. Aspern, Mr.. BarCiin
and Drs. Fish and Tripler. Mrs. Fisk
had her husbands left hand clasped
III hers. At 10:45 o'clock. convisive
shudder seemed TO pass over Fisk's
face, he gave two gasps for breath, and
at lO:47 O'Clock all was over. Fisk WAS
dead. His life had passed out from
him quietly, without a groan or muir
muir. Mrs. Fisk did not for a moment
realize that her husband was deaf. un-
til the hand she clasped IN hers grew
cold and waxen, and she saw the fixed
stare OF the CLASSY eyes. Then she
burst into lamentations, and kissed
the pale face over and oveI again.
Her grief perva,lcd all present, and

THE LAST FEATHER.

One of Stokes's friends entered and
announced that the Grand Jury had
found an Indictment; that a warrant
was in the hands of Deputy Sheriff
JudSon Jarvis, and WAS then on his way
TO serve il. A warrant may have been
in existence, but il was certainly not
placed in Jarvis's hands. We are in
formed that on hearing this news
Stokes lost all control over himself
and declared that Fisk had signed his
death warrant, or used words of SINH
lar import. He was in raving pas
sion, and left the house determined to
murder Col. Fisk at the first oppOTtu-
nifty. 1t is reported that before Stokes
reached Mrs. Mansfield's Col. Fisk
had called upon her and expressed his
regret at the severity of her cross
examination. and that he had agreed
to give her Sl5, 900 in settlement of the
dispute. II this was so, il is possible

experience, that the male lion was the most
crafty of the three, and on two occasions oe-
tore the one at Portage City, he had detected
The huge fellow In the act OF sneak!ng up 10
peize his legs. During the afternoon exnl-
bition at Portage City the tanner was going
through his usual performance In Inns cage,
with two men stationed outside with iron rods
between the bars Of the cage TO ASSIST, u
necessity, in warding off attack. The hon had
somewhat puzzled him, as manifesllnS oil-
Ierent nature from that OF any win WHICH Ne
had dealt and for that reason he KEPT his eye
upon him; but at one point ne was opIlgeu 70
turn and face the two onesses as ,ney paSssa pa ,sa
him, leaving the lion 10 be watcneu oy lae
attendants. But the attendants !alled 10 see
the monster sneak along the nU"r. Ihe au-
dience were watching more closely, the dan
ger was seen, and a cry OF alarm was raiseu,
but It was too late, the monsters Jaws nao
closed on the calf OF Lengel's riSht leg, the
teeth met, and Lengel fell 10 the noor OF tne
caoe. ais club flew from his hand as he fell,
and was beyond his reach; the moment
was one OF terrible suspense; the spectators
were terrified, and the two attendants paralyz'
ed at the result OF their carelessness;
But Lengels presence OF IL miaa mo r.aa ala
not desert him. The lion, even 10 his rage,
conld not forget the power OF his fallen antas-
opist. and loosened his hold for moment,
and before the lloness could gather Tor an at
tack The tanner was on his feet, seized his
whip and attacked his foe lashlng hm MIN 1nt9
the corner. Leaving the cage, Len9el walked
10 his dressing box, across the ring, Wnere ne
sank faint from the loss Of blood. 1t was
fonnd that no bones were broken, but the
wounds were so large and deep that the sur
geon who dressed them proted them win ms
fSper and failed to touch the end. Lengel
has been five times before bitten by his pels,
and shows SCARED body, but In every case
before his wounds have been from llonesses.
This, he thinks, Is the second case In which
he has been Intentionally ollten, tne otner
fonr being accidents, when, in their snarls
among themselves, they have seized him by
mistake.
