CAR DEAD.

YALrA, Nov. 1.-The Gar was told
Tuesday, he could live only few days
more. He listened composedly. During
the rest of the day he passed most of the
time in disposing of his personal and family
affairs. Then he calmly awaited the end
with consciousness broken only occasion
ally with short periods of coma. Yester-
day morning he looked for the last time
from the windows of the palace, long and
silent; then he said it was pleasant TO feel
that he could pass the last hours
on Russian soil. Last night he
had no sleep. He was racked con-
stsntly by violent coughing and
hemorrhages. His heart grew so weak il
often seemed to stop beating. These dis
tressing symptoms became acccntuated al
10 o'clock this morning, but shortly after
wards the Gar rallied slightly. He was
fully conscious. He wished the sacrament
given him in the presence of the family
and received the viaticum with grateful
fervor. An hour and half later he was
seized with violent spssms. Ii seemed -
if death must come, but he rallied again
and at 1890 appeared free from pain even
comfortable. But weakening heart heats
and breathing told the physicians the end
Was coming fast.
He was conscious almost to the last mo-
ment AT 2l5 his eyes closed slowly aud
he ceased breathing. The body WILL. be
em5almed in Livadis and be exposed " the
palace chapel a day or two. Severa s,att
officials left st. Petersburg for Livadla this
evening. According to tentative arrange
ments made, tonight, the body will be con-
veyed aboard the imperial yacht Polar Star
to Odessa. 1t will be escorted by the whole
Black Sea fleet which has orders 10 assem-
BILE at once off Yalta. ~
From Odessa the body will be taken orr a
special train to St. Petersburg and placed
in the cathedral Of Saints Peter and Paul.
The final ceremonies will be had probably
in two weeks. 1t is understood the Gar
Nicholas II. will be proclaimed tomorrow

BUSINESS AND PERSONAL BRIEFS.
A SURPRISE PARTY.

MT an d Mrs ". H. Fisher of 32l Fair field avenue were agreeably surprised one evening last week, by large num- Der of friends who assembled to enjoy the good cheer and hospitality offered by them. Four tables were arranged for those present, who enjoy progressive whist. Mrs Walter s. Hawley won the first prize for the ladies and Mrs E. B. Fisher the second prize. The two Johns won the remaining prizes, greatly to the amusement of those present. The gen. tleman who won the "booby" prize is keeping it from public notice on account of it's being a smuggled Chinaman. One of the gentlemen was given the honor of naming it if he would provide a suit of clothes for the same. They decided on the name Frank Worden, Jr., and the suit of clothes will follow in the near fu- ture. A bountiful repast came next on the program and was cordially received. The party left at an early hour in the morning having enjoyed very pleasant time.

HATTERTOWN.
WHO IS THE WICKED ONE?

Many and various are the articles that have mysteriously disappeared, of late, from the premises of numerous citizens of this place. George k. Parmelee lost different parts of harness, Grandson B
 Parmelee lost a good wrench. J. ". Pen ny lost a scythe and snath, complete, sharp and in good order, J. W. Summers lost two splendid 16-foot boards, but these were returned by the novel meth- od of throwing them in the lot of a neighbor near Mr Summers residence. Mr Summers had previously learned that two exact counterparrs of his lost boards were comfortably resting on some rafters in a barn not many miles away Perhaps this knowledge reached the ears of the guilty man and caused their return in the unique way mentioned There is not much doubt as to who the wrong doer is; in fact, none. and public indignation may yet become so stirred that 1t may become uncomfortably
 warm for that man, if the articles art
 not returned before the lapse of many
 moons This petty thieving is a dis
 grace to any community and can art
 should be stopped. We are glad to sa.

BELL IN BATTLE.
The " Professor Arrested
for Street-Fighting.
A Propensity for Advertising Gets
Him in Trouble - He Knows
something of the Art.

professor FRED Bell. so well known as
sensational lecturer at Metropolitan Temple,
has talents that he seems 10 have been holding
in reserve. The professor is not to be lightly
challenged to do battle, for though he may
"beware a quarrel" being iu," he has shown
that he can conduct himself so that his enemy
shall beware OF him. or words to that effect
lie was arrested yesterday aud taken to the
Southern station for being a party 10 a street
fight, in which he attracted an immense crowd,
on Market street. but lie was not getting the
worst of IL when the police iuterfered.
The professor" knows tile benefits OF ad-
Vertising, and his line and The inconvenience
Incident 10 the affair may not be considered by
him as wholly thrown away, Indeed il all
grew out of his advertising propenSiues.
II is known that he divides public attention
at the Temple with Rev. j. .. a. Henry, one of
tue organizers Of the A. +. A. There is limit
to the billboard possibilities in front of the
Temple, aud Frank Pierre, solicitor for the A.
2. a. journal, thought Bell was taxing more
than his share OF them. Bell had two boards
standing on the front sidewalk ana Pierce
thought he should be satisfied with one, so that
Mr.. Henry's board might have a chance SO on
Sunday he threw one OF Bells boards down i'll
the street.
The professor happened along about that
time and the hot things he SAID soon provoked
a blow, and Bell Knocked Pierce down. Two
ushers rushed TO PleTce's assistance. ana they
were bleeding at The nose respectively when the
war was over.
OF course this was rather an heroic prelude to
a Sunday afternoon discourse, but t only
seemed TO enhance the interest of the suisse
qnent proceedings.
But yesterday the professor and Pierce
CHANGED TO meet on Market street, at Powell,
ana hOstilite~ were renewed. The encounter
was vigorous ana meant bodily harm TO both.
An immense crowd was attracted aud with 1t
