u LII a TRANHE

MAYS LANDING, n j.. Nov 24-About
ten or twelve days ago George w. Fay.
who is druggist of Hammonton, about
twelve miles from here, was confined to
his bed with an abscesS of the brain. Later
dropsy appeared and on Tuesday evening
last he undoubtedly died. He was pro-
nounced dead by his attending physicians.
His limbs were then much swollen
and his face much discolored.
On Thursday morning members
of his family were surprised to find that
the swellings had almost entirely disap-
peared and lifelike look had come back
into his face. His cheeks became red, and
under his left ear a small, bright red spot.
The family concluded to postpone the fu-
neral until Friday. On that day, as no
other signs Of life had appeared, the body
was taken to the cemetery for inte ment.
The funeral sermon was preached, and
the coffin was opened for the friends and
relatives to view the remains At
this time the face appeared SO
lifelike that the family refused ot allow
the burial to take place, and insisted on
the body being taken back to the house
again. This was done, and now the fam
lily anXiOuSly await further developments
Many are of the opinion that Mr. Fay is in
n trance Mr.. Fay kept large drug store
in Hammonton. Once he had to serve a
term in the county Jail for illegal liquor
selling. He was so popular that on his re
lease the court house bell was rung, and
hundreds hocked to escort him to his
home

STARVATION I'M IREL AMI.

DUBLIN, Nov 24-The Freeman's Journ-
sl says that Connemara is beginning TO
feel the effects of the famine arising from
the failure of the potato crop Thirteen
families on the Blake estate, il saws, have
asked the parish priest to point out some
means by which they may avoid starva-
tion.
NEW YORK, Nov. 24-Archbishop Corri-
gar as issued the following pastoral let
ter to the Catholic clergy:
NEW YORK, Nov 19-Dear Sir: Letters
are beginning to arrive from Ireland
earnestly requesting assistance for the
poor in the distressed districts. The last
European mail brought me three such
appeals-one from bishop, another from
Presentation sisters in county Galway, a
third from Sisters of Mercy in county
Mayo. All tell the same story OF awful
want and still greater prospective misery.
A single sentence from one of these
writers will suffice to show the pressing
need of help. 1.-The first objects who claim
our sympathy" say the Presentation
sisters, "are the young children: pitiful
little creatures with pinched hands and
pallid faces, with shivering, half clothed
limbs, and feet not only bare, but blue
and blistered with the cold. These poor
children crowd our schools, many of them
coming long distances that they may
spend few hours in "a warm room and
iVNSlNC bhO SbdiNA liltdiiNc OilGIeu JudJ we
try to provide for them
My own observation, during a recent
visit to Ireland enables me to attest To the
reality of the distress The potato crop
even then was in many places blackenet
and bliChted and nothing but continuous
sunshine could save it from almost total
failure. Unfortunately instead of fair
weather the rain continued to pour down
daily and 10 low is true that thousands of
our brethren in the faith-thousauds Of
our own flesh and blood-are in danger of
starvation.
IN view Of these circumstances, reverend
and dear sir, please announce a special
rOllection for the relief of these sufferers
10 be taken up in your church, on Sunday.
November 3Oth. The amount when re
ceived will be forwarded to the bishops and
clergy of the districts, who promise in re-
turn 10 use every means to the judiciOuS
distribution of the relief and unite their
grateful prayers 10 those of their flock for
the cOn%ibutOn.
MICHAEL AUGUSTlN CORRIGAN,
Archbishop of New York.

DEs MONIES, Ia, Nov. &4-The state Of
Iowa, through the governor, has been sum-
moned by the United States supreme court
to appear before that tribunal at Washing
ton on the third Monday of next January
to defend and answer the bill of complaint
by the state Of Nebraska pending there.
This bill is in regard 40 the boundary line
between Nebraska and Iowa. The 0ues-
tion involved is whether or not that part
of the country lying near or in the vicin-
ity of Omaha, and cut off by the Missouri
river, shall be subject to Iowa's law
and regulations. The complaint states
that the region was formerly part of
Nebraska, that the river in the year 1877
so cut the bank on the southwest of the
rlversbed that new channel was made;
that Iowa Immediately took possession of
it and began to maintain active police
regulations, while Nebraska never re-
leased her claim; that the land in dispute
is inhabited by lawless population who
take advantage of the police difference TO
not obey any laws, and that therefore
Nebraskt pleads for settlement Of the diff
Guilty and the cession to her by the order
of the United States supreme court OF the
region in dispute.

DEATH OF AUGUST BELMONT.

NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-August Belmont,
the great banker, influential Democrat,
and worthy citizen, is dead. He passed
away at 3 O'Clock this morning, quietly,
serenely, surrounded by his sorrowing
family at his home, 100 Fifth avenue. Mr.
Belmont had been i'll but few days. His
sickness was the result of cold caught at
the Madison Square garden, during the
horse show. 1t was not thought to be Sc
rious at first, but pneumonia developed
and Mr.. Belmont was confined TO his
house. The end came this morning, Mrs.
Belmont, her daughter, Mrs. ;. :. How
land, and the three sons, Perry, August,
Jr;, and Oliver Belmont, being at the bed
side OF the dying husband and father
Mr.. Belmont's loss will be felt in racing
circles as much as in the financial world,
where he was recognized as a lever Of
strength. He has alwas been an a2thus-
iastic lover Of thoroughbreds. and TO him,
more than to any other man, is due the
prominent prsition that racing occupies in
this country at the present time. He was
a breeder of thorOughbreds and the owner
Of a racing stable from pure love of the
sport.
Mr. Belmont was born in Alzri, Ger
many, in 1916, where his father was
landed proprietor. He was educated in
Frankfort, and for several years was in the
employ of the Rothschilds in their bank
Ing mouse IN Jnat city, and also IN Naples.
In 1887 he settled in New York, and
became agent here for the Rothschilds. 1t
was by the advice of Mr.. Belmont that the
Rothschilds have made their large invest
meuts in American government securities.
A quarrel concerning a lady about this
period led TO duel in which he was shot
and lamed for life. From 1874 10 1880 he
was consul general at New York for the
Austrian government. In 1858 he was ap-
pointed United States charge d'affaires at
The Hague, and year later became miu-
lister resident. He resigned in 1858, after
first negotiating a highly important con-
sular convention. For many years he was
engaged in the banking business in this
city. and was well known as patron of
the fine arts, mis- collection of paintings be-
ing one of the finest in the city. Mr.. Bel
mont took an active interest in politics.
In 1860 he was a delegate TO the Demo
cratic national convention, and from that
year until 1872 was chairman of the Ma
tiOnal Democratic committee For twenty
years he was president of the American
Jockey club, and was a member of the
Union and other clubs in New York. He
married daughter of Commodore Mat
thew c. Perry.
