CIRCUS. -Lorrillard's circus ex-
hibited at Colfax on Thursday
afternoon and evening. The per-
formances were good and the man.
agement very gentlemanly. We
are pleased to recommend them to
our up river friends, as it is seldom
indeed such a worthy exhibition
pays us a visit. While we COM
mend the circus and side show
proper, we must denounce the lot
of "fakirs" and gamblers that were
allowed to set up their games here,
and would warn other communities
against their thieving tricks, which
will bankrupt any one that is fool
hardy enough to play.

being dragged ashore the alligator
was found to measure little over

WILLIAM HI. WHEELER DEAD.

Taken XII and Dies i'm a Few Moments.
 Quite sensation was created on Chapel
 street last evening by the report that MT.
 Wm. H. Wheeler, a we'll known real estate,
 life insurance and loan agent in Phoenix
 building, had dropped dead on Meadow street. Charles R. Waterhouse an two other gentlemen were found in the office which was
 occupied by the deceased and by J. Mel Bas- sstt and others. Last evening MT. Water house said the news was true and that they had learned that MT. Wheeler died at about o'clock. At o'clock MT. Waterhouse saw MT. Wheeler coming out of the bank, then looking in exec uent health. The following particulars were learned from different sources: MT. Wheeler was taken ill on Meadow street and went into the house No. 177 Meadow street, where he was acquaint- ed, and said he felt i'll. He was looking pale and lay down. In few minutes his condition had changed for the worse and Dr. Mailhouse was sent for and was found just returned from calling on patients. He ar rived in few minutes, but MT. Wheeler was dead. His death was probably caused by apoplexy. His remains were taken to his residence on the corner of Crown and Tenn pie streets, where Dr. Wheeler, the only son of the deceased, has his office. Dr. Wheeler said his father when he left home was in his usual good health. MT. Wheeler was about 61 years of age, and was born and reared in Montville, Conn, where he was for years engaged in manufacturing cotton batting and other goods made from cotton. He did @ prosperous business but lost heavily owing to the war, having had creditors in the South. For about 12 years past hs had resided in New Haven. De- ceased leaves wife and one son and small estate. He was above the average height, muscular and looked rather older than his age. The remains will probably be inferred in Montville, where his parents are buried Medical Examiner White was notified of the | case,
