who did the shooting, as all who are connected

A brief mention has already been made in
the Intelligencer of Mr.. Gosewisch's death,
bat his long residence in Lexington, his high
commercial and social standing, and his
worth as a man and 4 citizen, demand more

wealthy and influential parents in Peine,
Province of Hanover, Germany, July IL,
1872. He received a complete and thorough
education in Brunswick, Germany, after
which, against the expires desires and solicit
tations of his parents, he came to this 0oun-
try in the year 1884 in company with an elder
brother, DR.. J.. G. G%osewisch, who was for
many years afterward an eminent physician
of Wilmington, Delaware, having been .
special pupil under the great founder of
homeopathy, DIR. Hahnemann, and his friend
J.. A. Roebllng, the famous architect who
constructed the suspension bridge across the
Niagara Falls, and the great Brooklyn sus-
pension bridge, which was in construction at
the untlmely death of the original constructor,
and which was afterward completed by his
son. Mr.. GOsewisch separated from his
brother on their arrival at Baltimore, and in
company with his friend, Roebling, went to
P%ittsburg, where he engaged in mercantile
pursuits for three years, after which he went
to Louisville, Ky., where he entered the con-
