Particulars of Minister Orr's Death.
NEW YORK, May 3l.-A st. Peters
burg letter-writer, under date of the
eighth instant, sends the following
sketch of the sickness, death and fune-
raj services over the remains OF the late
United States minister to the court Of
the cZar: 1.-THE diplomatic career Of
Governor Orr came to painful end be-
fore IT was fairly begun. 1t is not quite
two months since he arrived in st.
Petersburg and presented his credentials
to the emperor. He was suffering at
the time from a severe cold, contracted
during his Atlantic passage, and about
week after his former installation in
his new Office he was forced to take
to his bed, and from that day
he did not leave his apartments.

serious result was apprehended, hOwev-

Austrian ambassador was there; min
listers of Brazil, Italy, Greece, and at
taches of other legations as well as of
foreign Offices. Mr.. ]. L. Orr, solitary
family mourner, stood side by
side with General POwintZ, consul,
who wore q familiar uniform Of a
brigadier-general of the American army.
The scene was indescribably sad. After
the rector had finished the services the
diplomats walked around the coffin and
dropped each upon il little sand, the
civilians present doing the same; and as
the mellow Russian sun broke through
the stained windows Of the humble
church the cortege took up its march
and passed mOurnfully away. The few
Americans in st. Petersburg are
