murder in the first degree for the kill

was walking alone on Il residence street
bordered with mansions brilliant with
lights about 10 O'Clock in the evening Sud-
denly three pistol shots rang out in quick
succession and Gibbs was found dying
from a bullet wound in the head lying
in the driveway leading to fashionable
residence. He expired without uttering a
word. His assailants had vanished and left
nothing as a clew to their identity. Ru-
mors soon connected Gibbss name with
some of the families in the immediate
vicinity and hints of love affairs were
rife, much to the annoyance OF many in

square pillars and the wall so tightly that
they could hardly strike blows. Several fell
and were trampled under feet. The private
secretary, however, had good backing and
good support, and now and then his head
could be seen in the midst of the seething
mass, the precious document being crumpled
in his hands. Along the lobby the fight
waged, the Democrats finally moving the

pARkHURsrs WORDS UNHEEDED.
Presbytcrians Voted to Sell the

NEW YORK, March lin spite of the re-
mark of the Rev. DIR. Parkhurst from the
pulpit yesterday, that the proposed sale
of the Church of the Sea and Land by
the presbytery, after it had been promised
to the Madison-square Presbyterian Church
for mission purposes, was deliberate, cold
blooded violation of solemn contract, and
an act which. If committed in Wall street.
would have furnished the members of the
presbytery with juicy meat for homiletical
exploitation, the presbytery to-day voted
the sale of the church. AS it was intro
duced the resolution directing the sale
quoted the words of DR.. Parkhurst given
above in a way to imply censure by the
presbytery, but it was amended with the
consent of the mover. after DIR. Muilaly
had urged that the preamble be allowed

considerable laughter among the members

GRESHAM rs UNWELL
THOUGHT TO BE SUFFERING FROM
CATlkRRH OF THE STOMACH.
His Family and Friends Uneasy. but
the Doctors Say the Condition of
the Secretary Is Improving.
pecial to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE physical
condition of Secretary Gresham is such as
to impress his family and his friends with
feeling of uneasiness. The Secretary has
been an invalid for some months At
periods he seems to improve in a very graft
flying degree, then he suffers a sort of re-
lapse. A close and very intimate friend of
of the Secretary, in conversation with the
Journal correspondent tonight said that
while the general condition of the Secre-
tary of State during the past several weeks
r,snifested an apparent Improvement, there
was phase of his trouble which was puz-
zling and discouraging. He added that
while the physicians of the Secretary were
disposed to give out a cheerful report, they
feared he was suffering from catarrh of the
stomach. The doctors have discovered some
stubborn feature of the physical ailments
of the Secretary.
1t has become the common practice OF
the medical fraternity here to conceal the
real condition of distinguished patients to
such aA extent that the public feels but
little faith in their daily bulletins of re-
ported improvements. The attending phy-
sicians seem to regard it as part of their
professional duty to give to the public fat
tering hopes of the recovery of their dis
LHSuiSieu pdlieHts IHe case OF president
Garfield is not so remote as to be for
gotten. Almost up TO the very last the bull
letins of the doctors encouraged the public
to hope for the recovery of the martyred
President. Subsequently came the cases of
General Sheridan, MIR. Blaine and other
public men who might be mentioned. Now
it may be absolutely true that Secretary
Gresham is suffering from some temporary
trouble which will yield readily to proper
treatment. But the doctors themselves are
to blame if even the personal friends of
the Secretary admit degree of anxiety
which the physicians claim is not warranted
by the Secretary's condition
The doctors report the usual improve
ment'' to-day. but add that the Secretary
is still confined to his room. Mrs Gresham
has returned from Chicago.

WHERE STYLES NEVER CHANGE.
An Englishman Who Long Dictated

ties They Should Wear.

PARIS. March 10.-Worth, the famous
dressmaker, died to-day of congestion of
the lungs.
Charles Frederick Worth was born in
Bourne. Lincolnshire, England in 1926. At
the age of thirteen he was apprenticed to
a printer his parents desiring that he learn
that trade. but he evinced strong hostility
TO handling type and abandoned the print
ing office after he had served about seven
months He then went to London, and,
through the assistance of a friend, secured
a position in a draper's dry goods shop
which position he left to enter the employ
ent of Swan & Edgar, drapers, where he
became a favorite. He first conceived the
idea of designing fashions through con-
versations with the buyers of Swan & Ed
gar, drapers, aud frequently made sugges-
tions which the heads of departments were
not slow to see in a favorable light. The
more he talked with the buyers the more he
resolved to go to Paris ana soon began the
study of French. When about twenty-one
years of age he went to Paris and shortly
after his arrival in that city secured a posi-
tion with Gagelin 81 Co., and in a few years
was placed at the head of a department. In
departures. While in the employ Of Gagelin
& Co. he received medals for displays at the
London and Paris expositions. Later he
and in 1870 founded the famous house Of
Worth. His fame as a dressmaker abound
ed, and among the many admirers of his
skill was the ex-Empress Eugenie, for
whom he made great many elegant
dresses. 1t has been said that while Paris
rules the world in fashion. the man who
ruled Paris-M. Worth--was a lincolnshire
QTngland) lad. that really 1t was an
Englishman who was the arbiter OF the
worlds fashion.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Daily News reports conversations that she
had with M. Worth, who claimed an aver
age gain of f11.0o0 from supplying to, a
prominent F'ifth-avenue CNew York; lady
Every dress that he furnished a royal lady
to be worn at a drawing room brought du-
plicate orders from American customers
Nobody knew better than he how to dis
guise defects. He hated lean women and
refused hundreds of applicants who did not
credit his art. He was a despot Those
who submitted paid heavily for his despot-
ism. Continuing, the correspondent said:
.I think he was genuine and very honest.
He was obliged to take the world he
found it and to deal with rich fools ac-
cording to their follies, but he neveI de-
sired more business than he and his son
could personally manage. He remained a
stanch Protestant. He must have left a
great fortune
