Death of A. w. Merriam,

| Although the day Of the Carnival was
| marked by no event that marred its enjoy
| ment, yet the festivities it gave lise to
hardly concluded when one of the most
bountiful contributors to its pleasures was
suddenly stricken unto death.
For several successive years Mr.. Merriam
has found pleasure in expending his time
and means in aid of the spectacles of Mardi
Gras, and his last effort was his most sue
cesstul one. He participated in all the
events Of the day, and bore conspicuous
part in the pageant of COmus. As late as
three o'clock yesterday morning he was en-
joying the festivities of the occasion in
company with his family, at the Academy
of Music. in high spirits and seemingly in
perfect health. He retired shortly after
reachin: home. and probably had an ap-
poplectic stroke. for when discovered by
hi, family. ne was beyond the reach Of
human aid.
Mr.. Merriam was a native Of Massachu-
setts, and was born in the town of Ware. in
1896. In 1850 he removed to New Orleans,
and continued to reside hero till his death.
Since the war he has been engaged in sue.
cessful business. in which he amassed con-
siderable wealth. which he valued, not for
its possession, bu. its use. OF excellent in.
tentions. warm heart and strong convic.
tions, socially, he was man of winning,
genial manners. that made him MANY
friends. as his liberal. public spirit gained
him admirers. He was member of many
public and private organizations, who have,
by his death. lost an active and esteemed
member.
His funeral will take place to-day.
The sad news of his death has called
forth the following order from the myste-
rious sovereign of last nights festival:
SPECIAL EDIcs AZ OUR SYLVAN TEMPLE.

since our departure. that our roval

That we 90 forward this, our order that
special and appropriate honors be shown to
