The Death OF Philadelphia Physician
Inquired Into by the Coroner.
Inquiry has been made by the Coroner
into the death of DIR. Walter Z. Bibbey,

her husband was addicted to the use of NOR
phine and cocaine, which he administered
himself by hypodermic injections, says the
Philadelphia Times. He first began the iu-
jections to alleviate pains from which he
suffered, owing to assesses of the kidneys,
but subsequently he became victim to the
habit.
He purchased the drugs at various
stores" continued Mrs. Bibbey, land have
known him to buy fifteen and twenty grains
at time. My husband had done very little
at his profession since his sickness, only
prescribing for a few patients who called at
the house. He always diluted the drugs"
Police Lieutenant McGarvey said he
reached Bibbey's house half hour after he
died. The dead man was unclad, and lying
on an old martresS. The surroundings of
the room were filthy in the extreme. The
neighbors had informed him that Mrs.
Bibbey was also addicted to the morphine
habit. and she was In stupor when he
visited the house.
DR.. Formal, the Coroner's physician. said
the body, legs and arms of the dead man
were completely covered with sores, every
portion of the body having been punctured
except the face. Death, he said, was due to
excessive use of morphia and cocaine. The
jury returned verdict in accordance with
the DOCTORS testimony.

Impressive and Sad Services Of the Knights

Amid the fragrance of sweet scented flow

tear-stained faces, the funeral ceremonies
over the remains of the late Alexander

early Friday morning while arresting Actor

Such services conducted under the au-

most impressive, but they never appeared
more solemn or pathetic than yesterday

Commandery, of which the deceased was an
honored member, officiated.
By o'clock there was not standing room
in the commandery hall, and many who had
known and honored the deceased in life
were compelled to remain in the street, pa
tiently awaiting their turn to pay the last
sad tributes of respect to the dead. Nearly

The building laws of Vienna have become
so strict since the terrible theatrr fire that
in erecting an auditorium of this size of such
intiammable material the architects had to
devise some scheme of construction that
would make the audience quite safe in case
Of either panic or fire. The fault has been
that the plans of the theater will call
for an arrangement by means of which the
entire exterior of the building will be
bolted together. Tho bolts will be capable
of removal by machinery, so that in case of
danger one man may set the machinery to
work, withdraw the bolts and the exterior
of the theater will fall to the ground, ieav-
ing the audience in the open air. To avoid
any possibility of crowds being crushed by
the falling walls. the fheater will be built in
an inclosure with sufficient space about it
to allow the walls TO fall outward at full
length.

OBIT u AIRY.
MRS. THERESA FAIR.

Mrs. Theresa Fair died yesterday afternoon
about 8 80 O'Clock az her residence, 112O Pine
street. The only relative ~ esent when she ex-
pired was her youngest daughter. DR.. Blu CESS
the family physician, stated that the immediate
cause OF the lady's death was heart failure, arls
Ing from fatty degeneration of the heart. A re.
mote cause was Brights disease of the Kidneys
Mrs. Fair had been alling FOR some lime, an
about two weeks ago was taken suddenly i'll at
dinner party. She was removed at ouce 10 her
home, and with the reception Of Two or three at
tempts at rayng sank steadily until the time Of
her demise.
The deceased was a Catholic and a member of
the congregation worshiplng in The new cathe-
dral. Her benefactlons TO the church of her
iaith were neither few nor small, and among her
other gifts was the donation OF set of bills to
the San Carlos Mission, replacing those which
had been worn out In the service of the church.
Her charities were not confined to the Catholic
Church, however. On several occasions she as
sisted deserving Protestant Institutions, and
among these was the Fruit and Flower Mission.
Although rising from Il humble position in life
TO one Of great wealth and some prominence,
Mrs. Fair wore her good fortune without ar
rOgance. She was simple and kindly woman,
devoted 10 her children and quiet aud unOstenta-
ttOuS in her demean0r. She fond of social
pleasures, and enjoyed entertaining. Muslcales
were i favorite form OF entertainment aud on
these occasions, as when the festivities were
more elaborate, her house was always remark
able for its floral decorations.
II Is related OF her that during Lent some
years ago she gave musicale In honor OF her
eldest daughter, and during the same penteDtial
season, another quiet AT home. For INDUCING IN
these social pleasures she was reprimanded by
prelate OF her church. During the following
Lenien term Patti was filling an engagement in
the city. Mrs. Fair was anxious TO make up a
thealer party TO hear the famous diva bnt re-
memberlng her former censure, sent cabegram
TO the Pope, asking plenary indulgence for the
occasion. The answer wired back by the holy
father was Stay at home, nv daughter" and
the idea OF the party was relinQulshed.
The deceas is survived by four children,
James e. Far Jr, Charles, who is now IN Dem
yer, Mrs. Herman Oelricbs Of New York, and
Miss die Fair, who has always lived with her
mother. Mrs. FAR was the wife of ex-senator
James G. Far, VINO represented Nevada for
term. She mad been separated from her husband
for number Of years Her friends differ as to
her place OF biIth, some locating her nativity In

Down around San Jose way there is great

as they hung at the 500 notch the result re-

When the matches of the steamer Colina
were removed at Quebec the stevedores

find man apparently lifeless among the

on the night before the Colina left that port
he secretcd himself in the hold, intending
to appear after she had begun her voyage
and work his passage to Canada. He fell
asleep, and when he awoke he felt the
engine under way, and he found the matches
battered down. He lay still all that day,
but the next day becoming fearful of being
unable to get out, he attempted to attract
the attention of some of tie crew by pound

pose. he tried many ways of leaving his
prison, and on what he thinks was the third

when he became insensible, but for the

where neither light nor pure air could reach

How tho Treasury Is Guarded.

The Treasury watch is composed of sew
ehty veteran soldiers, who are divided into
three squads dividing every twenty-four
hours into three equal watches of eight
hours each. The men do not wear uniforms,
and would not impress the casual
visitor to the Treasury during the
hours when the public is admitted. The
guards 60 unarmed during the day, but at
night carry large forty-two caliber six
chambered revolver, which is too large to be
concealed in pocket and must be carried
in the hands all the time. Every one who
passes the Treasury at night may see pacing
to and fro in the lofty area between the
granite pillars and the wall of the building
solitary figures. A person cannot approach
within hundred feet of the building with
out seeing guard. Such watchman, si-
lent and martial In bearing, guards each of

Hard Joke ON a Brsbful Couple.

A pretty girl from out of town has been
staying for some time with young lady
friend in Buffalo, and. as the time for her
departure drew nigh young man from ous
of town turned up and volunteered to attend
the young lady on her homeward journey.
The hostess put up liberal lunch for the
travellers and then filled in all the crevices
with rice She also put some in the young
mans pockets, slid some into the young
lady's parasol and likewise deposited some
In the depths of the young mans umbrella.
Both boarded the tram without noticing
these suggestive additions to their traps.
The result is not yet known, but as the
young man is slightly bashful, and the
young lady is known to blush on slight
proyocation, the consequences when the rice
fell all over the car floor can be imagined.-
