The Hunters.

The huaters were out bright and
early Monday morning after the
game. The day was not a good day
for running rabbits, the leaves and
grass being too dry for the dogs to
catch the scent. j. F. johnson, Lsw
McGilliard, Harry Fort, Winfield
Betchner, and, In fact, almost every
man in town with any cunning pro-
clivities, was after the dogs, and some
had pretty good luck, bagging as high
as half a dozen rabbits and a number
of quail.

 Until the arrival of La Champagne at quarantine yesterday no one had known that General Knapp was dead, as he suc- cumbed of paralysis on the 14th inst while at sea- He left New York four months ago by the advice of his physicians to travel in Europe in search of health. The last stopping place Of the party was the Continental hotel in Paris. Here Gen. eral Knapp's condition became so bad that | an immediate departure for home was de- cided upon. A cablegram announcing the condition of General Knapp had been sent | to his friends in this city, and although | the dispatch stated that the generals con | dition was not considered serious, as a precautionary measure, instructions | were given to an undertaken that if General Knapp should die during the voyage his body WAS to be called for i'm mediately on the arrival of the ship. Yesterday when the ship was reported vice-President Hegeman of the Metropoli-
 tan Insurance company and party of friends of General Knapp went down the bay to meet him. They were greatly
 shocked on reaching the steamship to learn
 that General Knapp had died suddenly on
 Monday. Joseph P. Knapp, Mrs. General Knapp, MT. Edward c. Wallace and Mrs | Wallace were with General Knapp when he died. While death was not unexpected l no one looked for such sudden ending oi
