He was brother to James and Lucius Ives of that place. He resided years ago in Philadelphia and New York, and about seven years ago he came to this city, residing here up to the time of his death. He dealt quite largely in late years in magnetic and galvanic appliances for the cure of rheumatism, neuralgia and rsstora- tion of the nervous forces, and had an office for several years in Todd's block, corner of State and Elm streets. He was very geni- al and refined old gentleman, esteemed by all who knew him. He had been in poor health for 8 long period, and after trying many remedies tried magnetic truss and other magnetic appliances which so greatly helped him that he became agent for their sale here and recommended their use to such of his friends as were in need. He leaves three daughters, two of whom are married, one to Rev. MT. Lawry of Penn- sylvania, and the other also to a resident If the Keystone State. The remaining daugh- ter has resided with her father. He alse leaves widow. Deceased died of neuralgia of the heart.

Her early life was devoted to the inter est of the church she loved, through which she received the spiritual help which has been her support during the feebleness of many years. Failing health deprived her of an active Christian life, but her ever ready sympathy for the poor and faithful endea- vors to lead those around her to the source of all comfort endeared her to many who now mourn Christian friend. Her sister, the wife of Mir. William B. Goodyear of this city, is the only surviving member of her family. The deceased has resided for years on South Quinnipiac street. She was 85 years of age. Funeral services will be held from her late residence tomorrow afternoon at o'clock.

A Remarkable BlshOp-His Busy Life.
 The New York World says: Bishop Will Hams of Connecticut, the oldest member of the American house of bishops of the Protes- tant Episcopal church, is tremendous work CT.

He breaches nearly every Sunday and is an inces- sant reader. He reads not only philosophi- cal and religious works, but keeps up with current fiction. He is student of contem- porary politics and an authority on affairs in central Europe. He is, perhaps, the finest conversationalist in the country, and has at command a vast number of good stories"

The Veterans' Grand Ball February 14th-EIaberate Preparations.
 Judging by tke energy displayed by the committee of the Veteran Volunteer Fire mems association in preparation for their eighth grand ball at the Hyperion Theater, February 14th, and the general interest man ifested by the friends of the association, it is undoubtedly assured that this event will surpass anything of the kind that they have ever attempted before. Several new, inter- esting and novel features will be iuaugurated by the old "Vets," which will be presumably very pleasant to those who are 80 fortunate as to obtain tickets, as the committee have de- cided, there having been such a great de- mand for them, to limit the number, so that all who attend may have an enjoyable time The beautiful souvenir to be presented to all who attend will be 8 valuable memento of the deings of the "Vets" in years gone by The new grand march of all veterans will be something entirely new to those who have heretofore attended the balls of this associa- tioD

 of flmtemperance.
 Rev. L. H. Squires preached the first of series of sermons last evening on ''The Great Moral Reforms of this Age" Intemperance he said, is the greatest source of danger to our republic. It is curse so great that 1t eclipses all other calamities. Millions are on the road to danger. It is the worst destroyer of souls and the worst obstacle to the gospel that we have. The sermon was forcible, strong and at times deeply interesting. The speaker reviewed the growth of the tempe rance societies and said that the only remedy for the evil of intemperance was the total anuihilation of it. It's abolition should be incorporated in the laws of the land and that was what the prohibition party was organized for sixteen years ago. This was the only means of destroying the evil ss everything eIee had failed. Even the temperance socie- fiea. had reached their limit. Intemperanoe stards more in the way of the Christian church than any other evil.
