Sudden Death of We'll Known Citizen.

The sudden death was reported yesterday
of VIM. A. Lemke, the well known florist,
who died at the residence of his brother-in-
law on Rice street, early yesterday morning.
Sunday afternoon, Mr.. Lemke drove his
family out to Como where they visited some
friends, and returning towards nightfall he
left his wife his wife and children at the res
idence OF relatives on Rice street, starting
down town to keep an appointment. Re
turning in the early part of the evening, be
entered into the social festivities of the oc-
casion, and while converting with some
gentlemen friends about 10 O'Clock he sud
denly fell from his chair in a swoon.
DIR. Stamm was sent for, and every effort
was made to resuscitate him, but he re-
NAMED unconscious until 4:30 O'Clock yes
terday morning, when he expired.

HUSTLING HUSSEY.
The Late Circulator of The Day Ar
rested for Carrying off Route
Man

About O'Clock yesterday afternoon OFF,
Ger Finn entered police headquarters accom-
panied by spare built, beardless young
man, with CLASSY eyes and high cheek bones,
and turning to Sergeant Morgan, he asked
what should be done with him. The latter
responded. ''You had better take him over
to court" and he went
The young man was J. H. Hussey, the ex-
circulator of the twilight twinkler, the Day,
and he was arrested on a warrant charging
him with grand larceny, the complaint hav-
ing been preferred by Stanley Waterloo, the
editor in chief Of that paper.
The arrest grew out of the complications of
last Saturday, by which it was alleged that
Hussey conspired to sell the subscription list
of the paper to the editor of the Dispatch with
the view, it was claimed, of dousing the glim
of the former paper. Complete particulars
of the alleged sell out have already appeared
in the GLOBE, and it was intimated in these
columns Sunday that the arrest of Hussey
would follow.
The latter was interviewed by GLOBE re-
porter Immediately following his arrest, and
he fully sustained the reputation of the men
dacious evening sheets, by saying knew
nothing about the charge.
This is all news TO me-" he replied in
response TO a query, ''but 1 see they have
got me up for thief" and with this he
closed his clam shells and was hustled off to
court.
The strange part of it is that the original
charge, over which all the fuss was made,
doesn't enter into the arrest. which
was based on the technical charge
of larceny, the complaint alleging that
he carried off route map belonging to the
Day company together with other things not
specified. This complaint is said however,
to be only preliminary, and rich develop
ments are promised.
On being arraigned Hussey pleaded not
guilty and the examination was set for to-
morrow morning. Meantime he was re-
leased in the sum of $3.50 bail, the bondsmen
being Messrs. Brown & Tracy of East Third
street
1t was developed at the board of trade yes
terday that Mr.. Hussey was giving direction
to Dispatch reporter, and produced written
authority from Capt. Castle.

No Match Made Yet

AT P. m. yesterday, in answer to C. A.
Z. Smiths challenge in the GLOBE of Mon
day, Billy Wilson and other parties interested
assembled at j. S. Barnes place on Third
street. 1t was half hour later, however.
when Smith and his hacker arrived, and
Smith only remained for a few minutes.
leaving Tom Jefferson tos.make all arrange
ments on his behalf, saying as parting sa-
lutte, Snake any kind of match YOU
please and PlI fight it'' As Wilson
was fully as anxious to clincb
The affair it did not seem as though there
could be any hitch, but when the parties
came to talk over preliminaries the old thing
wouldn't work. Tom McAlpine, as manager
for Wilson, made the proposition that the
sporting editor of the GLOBE be allowed To
name stake holder and referee, in order that
there might be no trouble when the men
came to meet in tie ring. Smiths manager
was willing that this should be SO as far as
stake holder was concerned, but he did
think ne ought to have the choosing
OF the referee All he wanted
was u responsible man to act, and he didn't
care pin whether the referee knew the rules
or not, saying the veriest greeny would know
which man was whipped at the finish. This
Is saying good deal, however, for in case of
foul, or mischance of any kind, the decid-
ing voice should be that of man who knew
his business, and would not make a bad de-
cision. In such matters it is best to get a
man who is posted" Wilson'S hacker was
mol in town, nor will he be till Thursday.
and the parties finally agreed to adjourn
the settlement until then, when Wilson
agrees to clinch match for not less than
$3.50 side, with hard gloves, to a finish.
Both men appear in exhibition at Market
nall this week, and those interested in this
phase OF metropolitan life can attend and
form their own opinion of the relative merits
OF the men. Smith has already been on the
stage there and displayed his proves. WILL
