Particulars Of the Death Of the Late Albert
Bates in Japan-Funeral Services and Burial
at Yokohama, ... ...r ia
The particulars Of the recent sad death Of Al
bert Bates Of this city, which occurred In Yeddo,
Japan, on January 10 last, have been received
here. Deceased was q native OF East Washing
ton and q son Of DR.. ]. E. Bates, druggist, and
went to Japan about three years ago with the
American party consisting Of Mr. Horace CaprOn,
DR.. Thos. ntIsell, Mr.. George B. Williams and
others, since when he has been engaged there In
school teaching. Although only twenty years
old at the time OF his death he gave promise OF q
pears that on January ID last, about o'clock a.
m, he rode out in the country, intending to re-
turn at p. m, at which time he ordered . warm
made warm BY Charcoal burned in iron vessels,
which are immersed in the bath tub. On his re-
turn his horse became SO unruly that be was de-
house. he Immediately repaired to the bathroom,
little dreaming that the small close apartment
was BY that time full Of the deadly fumes Of char
coal.
Alter being in the room about twenty minutes,
the servant, fearing something was wrong, called
help, and forcing the door found the young nan
his body thrown forward. and his head complete
ly below the surface Of the water. The servants
doctor, who arrived frst, and Dr. AntiseIi after.
wards, pronounced him dead before even his re-
moyal from the tub, and that he had gradually
sank into the position In which he was found from
suffocaIion by coal gas, TACT which was con-
fTmed by subsequent spots on the body, caused
by the poison gradually expelling itself. The
body was embalmed by DR.. Stuart Eldridge, for
merly at the Agricultural Department, and
placed in q metallic coffin. The funeral took
place on the next day, January H. and was at
tended by all the Americans residing in the vicn-
ity, as also numberless Japanese friends Of the
deceased. A feeling address was delivered by
Dr.. Antsell, and the religious services were con-
ducted by Rev Mr. Saper, formerly q minister 10
this District, after which the remains were in
tered in the American cemetery at Yokohama.

AN INCOMPETENT NURSE.

She Gets Drunk while Attending an Infant.
Another instance OF the carelessness Of parents
IN securing nurses for their children was shown
yesterday, and demonstrated the fact that many
families are unaware Of the attention the ser
wants employed for the purpose give their chill
dreD, where they are taken and into what society
thrown. About O'Clock yesterday afternoon the
officers at the Central guard-house and mer-
chants doing business in that vicinity noticed a
cOlOTed woman near the corner OF Ninth street
and Louisiana avenue staggering drunk. In her
arms she carried n white infant, two years old,
which was in peril Of life by the unsteady steps
and movements Of the woman, who was unable TO

pletely gained control oil her tongue as to mako

words she mumbled out in disconnected way.

the untaithful nurse to go home and he would
follow. She managed TO navigate with cOnsid-
cradle difficulty, but at last brought up at the
house OF Mr.. Lowry, on Maine avenue southwest,
where II was found that the parents Of the babe
resided, and who were reloiced at its return. The
nurse having been out with 1t during the entire
day, the family had become alarmed at her con-
beiallen the two. They were greatly astonished
at the condition Of the woman, and will probably
preft by the lesson, and not again trust their little
one in the charge OF incompetent hands.

BANK CHANGES.
Withdrawal AMI New Firm.

The reports in regard TO the changes in the
tTm Of Sherman X Co., heretofore made, have
been without authority and foundation. By
reference to the advertisement in TIE REPUBLI-
CAN this morning IL will be seen that Mr.. John
Sherman, IT., has retired from the firm, and that
the business will be continued under the name of
II. j. Cooke. IT., q Co., at the old place, l429 +
street northwest. Under the new arrangement
the successful and rapidly increasing business Of
the old firm will doubtless be fully maintained.
Mr.. H ID. Cooke, IT., possesses rare qualifications
as a banker, and deseryedly enjoys the confidence
and esteem Of the community. Mr.. John W. Cor
will retain his old position In the bank, which
fact will be gratifying 10 its many friends and
customers with whom he is q general faVOrite.
Mr.. John Sherman, Jr., and Col. Fred. Grant
will commence business under the firm Of Sher-
man Grant, on the tlrst Of May, at No. 1925 T
street northwest, and will do q general banking
and brokerage business, receive deposits, &c.
The Colonel will resign his position in the United
states army next autumn, after his return from
the Black Hills, when he will turn bis attention
TO business at the bank. The extensive 2cquain-
tRTce Of these gentlemen and the favor in which
they are held will doubtless secure TO them q

ATIENPTFD SUICIDE.
A Handkerchief and suspenders Used as a
Rome.


Yesterday afternoon Ofhcer Longstreet brought
William Carr, painter we'll known to the CON-
munity, to the Central guard-house on the
charge Of being drunk and disorderIy. What
ever evidence was requisite to sustain the latter
charge, doubt existed. from observation, of the
truth Of tie former. The accused was registered
on the docket and then conducted back and con-
fined in one Of the large cells. He remained
quiet until 10 O'Clock, when Officer McCRthran,
station keeper, who appears to have the luck OF
locking alter prisoners disposed to selE-destruc-
tiUp, was satisfied that Carr was attempting to
escape or doing something at which he didn't de-
sire to be disturbed. The officer went quietly
into the corridor and to the cell, where he found
that the pI isoner had tied his handkerchief and
suspendeIs together and then made them fast to
theupper cross bar Of his cell door. HeWas about
tying the other end around his neck when the
oficer took his knife and cut the knot that had
been made, and destroyed the plan Of the sulcid-
list. He was then left to himself, but o few min
utes later the station keeper returned to the cell
and found his prisoner on the bench reaching to
the bars OF the window and trying, with the aid
OF the suspenders and handkerchief to make
rope with which to hang himself This time he
was hand-cuffed, and all future attempts in that
direction frustrated.
