Oranzo Lee. who was brought in from the

many epileptic fits.
About dark last evening, Colonel T. w.
Sheehan observed horse and buggy stand
ing unattended on Twenty-first street, be-
tween S and T. and on examination found
the horse to be in a profuse perspiration,
as though exhausted from hard run. The
lazy-back of the buggy was broken, and one
line was missing, having broken off at the
bit, and it is presumed that lady and gen
tleman out for ride had met with dis
aster, from the facts mentioned above, and
the further fact that there were in the
buggy pocket flask and lady's handBer-
chief. The Colonel put the horse in his
stable for safe keeping until the owner can
be found.
Some one started the proposition yes ter
day afternoon that the Presidents procla-
nation relative to the death and funeral of
ex-President Arthur made yesterday non
judicial day, and, if such was the case, the
business done by the Courts was void. 1t
does not seem, however, that the procla-
nation went to that extent. The portion
of it bearing upon the matter reads as fol-
lows: In token of respect to the memory
of the deceased, it is ordered that the Exec
utive Mansion and the several department
buildings be draped in mourning for pc
riod of thirty days. and that on the day Of
the funeral all business in the public de-
partments be suspended"
