NO FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS YET.

Neither His Bride Nor Friends Have as
Yet Made Their Appearance-His End
Came just in the Way lie Expected
and Hoped For.
New York, May 15.-Without friends or
relatives at hand the body of W. Irving
Bishop. the famous mind reader, reposed in a
sonnber looking coffin in one corner Of Will
iamA.H Hawks undertaking establishment
at NJ. Sixth avenue, when a reporter called

"Has Bishops wife or auy Of his relatives
been here yet" the reporter asked Mr..
Hawks
"No; the lambs club people have tele-
graphed for them to come on, but they have
not put in an appearance or sent any word"
he said.
"Have any Of his friends been hereN
"Not since they brought him here"
Bishop was strange creature His life
has been described, but there is enough yet
to be told about him to fill book with in
teresting reading.
Bishop often remarked: 81 want to die in
ing death for me- hope" and many of his
most intimate friends believe that he was
often pleased by his afiiiction with catalepsy
since famous physician once told him that
the disease would probably cause his death
some time within a few hours.
He was entertaining jolly Bohemian
crowd in the Lambs club when the physi-
clans prophecy became fulfilled.
Bishop had performed some of the less diff
ficut feats in mind reading, when he sudden
ly declared: "Ihey say / cannot read minds;
that it is muscle reading by which perform
my feats. will show you something never
done before
Then he asked Secretary Green, of the
club, to go down stairs to where the clubs
books are kept and select word in any one
Of them.
Mr.. Green and Dr. J. A. Irwin did as di-
rected and selected the name Of Margaret
Townsend in the minute book, where it ap-
peared in connection with some records re
lating to the Lester Wallack benefit.
They returned up stairs where Bishop,
blindfolded and highly excited, awaited them.
He took Mr.. Green's hand and led the
party down stairs at run almost
He turned the pages over rapidly until he
came to the one on which the name was
written.
He ran his finger down it rapidly.
Suddenly he paused and asked for a piece
of paper. 1t was handed to him, and with
out minutes hesitation he dashed off tn,
word Townsend in lead pencil, writing i
backward. rs that itln lie eagerly asked.
eYes, was answered.
Then, still blindfolded, Bishop led the part,
stairs, where the bandage was taken off hi
eyes
.The most successful feat of my life,n
murmured, and staggered and fell.
He was carried 10 room and put TO bed
but insisted on getting up and performing th
trick the same as before.
Another attack Immediately followed an
he was put to bed again, never to leave
alive.
Arrangements for his funeral have not ye
been completed.

Tunis Labee, charged with the murder Of his
wife, Catharine, was resumed before Judges
Dickson, English and Warren in the court
house.
The prisoner was present and seemed less
nervous than on Tuesday Further testimony
was introduced showing that Labee's treat
ment Of his wife had been so bad that she
was compelled TO leave him.
Afterwards he sought reconciliation. She
yielded to his request, and on the Goth of
February last went with him TO the house Of
Mrs Martha Schumaker, in Chestnut street.
There they quareled, after having had some
refreshment. The quarrel was on account
Of her final decision not to live with him
again. He stabbed her repeatedly with a
knife, slashing her in a horrible manner, and
kept it up until she died Of her wounds. She
had thirty-four cuts and stab wounds on her
body Most Of the testimony was corrobora

ROYALTY FOR IRELAND.
The Prince of Wales May Be
the Viceroy.
THE KAISER HEARS THE MINERS

It Is Now Said That the aIan who Fired
Pistol at the Gar shot himself In
tho Presence of the Guards-Boulanger
won't he Tried.
LONDON, May l5 1T is now regarded as
almost absolutely certain that the govern
ment will make no proposals with reference
to the office of viceroy Of Ireland until the
ministry moves a local government bill for
ireland in the house of commons next year.
Then the Office will probably be abolished and
tho government OF the country placed in the
hands Of the chief secretary for Ireland, who
will be promoted to the dignity Of a secretary
of state
Meanwhile efforts are continued 10 induce
member Of the royal family 20 accept the
position Of lord lieutenant Of Ireland for u
year, and there is every likelihood Of their
being successful. It is said that the Prince
Of Wales has intimated that he would not
be averse TO residing in Dublin half the
time, and this hint has been widely circu-
lated as evidence that his royal highness viii
be the next viceroy of Ireland All Of the
Irish leaders who have as yet publicly ex-
pressed their opinion on the subject avow
their belief that tho Prince of Wales would
exercise his power with more fairness aud
generosity toward the Irish pea'antry than
any man who has yet served CT Is likely 70
be asked by ths Torres TO sefve in tine capac-
ity Of vioeroy, and his acceptance OF the
office, even fo- the brief period mentioned,
would give general satisfaction.
