THE DEATH OF "LEROUX."
A Letter From the United States
 Consul at ReYal.

A Letter From the United States
 Consul at Reval.
 James Johnson this afternoon received the following letter from the United States consular agent at Reval, Russia, giving particulars of the death of his brother, aronaut Joseph Johnson:
 United States Consular Agency
 Reval, October 3.
 MT James Johnson, Waterbury, Conn,
 Dear sir I am in receipt of your tele- gram of 30th ult, concerning the sad death of Charles Leroux. l have not been able to reply to your telegram at once as my time was very sary formalities to be observed with regard to the accident, as we'll as the arrangements for the interment of the deceased, which took place to-day. The deceased was brought to his last resting place with such marks of honor and sympathy by the population of this town as is seldom witnessed.
 As to the accident. It is not clear what caused the same and will probably never be cleared up. There were no unusual circumstances under which the descent with the parachute was performed, excepting that the swingings of the ladder as it fell toward the surface of the sea had become much greater than usual and against the prac- tice of the deceased to let go of the parachute when above water at considerable height he was seen swinging attached to the parachute in almost horizontal position, whilst falling into the sea, being thrown with violence against the surface of the water. Unfortunately no precautions had been taken by hlm in sending out boats beforehand, so that when these ar lived some ten minutes later the de- ceased and the parachute had entirely disappeared. The body was recovered two days later and death was found to be by drowning. It remains unexplain- ed why the deceased did not let go of the parachute sooner in order to fall per- pendicularly into the water and save himself by swimming to shore, which was a mile and a half distant. It remains unexplained what the imme- diate cause of the accident was.
 The local authorities took possession of the effects of the deceased and hand ed these over to me, and it became my painful duty to place same in some safe and secure place until the friends and legal representatives have an opportunity of taking the necessary steps of forwarding letters of admins tration. 1 am dear sir, yours truly,
 EVAN J. ALLEN.
 United States Consular Agent

dentally suggested that the Sacramento Club
and its PRESIDENT, J. L. ellis, were quite well
off financially, and that they were willing to
spend O good deal of money to get even with
Dooms, Alvord and Quest and men like them.
He could not say anything definite about
Quest. He had heard only that that player
had signed with Toledo sfter having received
several hundred dollars advance money from
Sacramento. de did not know whether Quest
had returned this money or not, but he did
know that If he did not return it he would be
prosecuted N me same lnduuer AZ the Otners.
