Some of the fees paid by royalty have
been eminently beftting the giver and

title of baronet. but fee of f1O,0 600
Sir Morel Mackenzie is reported to
have received more than twice this
amount for his treatment Of the late
Emperor Frederick of Germany.
Dimsdale, a prominent practitioner Of
London. in 17G2, was called thence to
st. Petersburg to yaccinate the En-
press Catherine H., for which he re-
ceived not only the equivalent Of $780,

expenses, the title of baron, and a life
pension of $500 yearly. His Royal
Highness the Nawab of Rampur, India
recently paid an English army surgeon
100000 for q three-months' occasional
attendance in an ordinary attack OF
rheumatism. The late Sir Andrew
Clark, Gladstoners physician, often
charged $1,000 for running down from
London to Liverpool, and the late Sir
William Gull commanded equally high
rates for similar services. A Russian
surgeon charged a wealthy notable
of Odessa $4,000 for opening an al,s

about ten minutes. And. better still

CHAPTER VII.
The Conclusion.

We had all been warned to appear
before the magistrates upon the Thurs
day; but when the Thursday came
there was no occasion for our testi-
mony. A higher judge had taken the
matter in hand. and Jefferson Hope
had been summoned before a tribunal
where strict justice would be melted
out to him. On the very night after
his capture the aneurism burst, and
he was found in the morning stretched
upon the floor of the cell, with placid
smile upon his face. as though he had
been able in his dying moments to
look back upon Il useful life and on
work we'll done.
"Gregson and Lestradc will be wild
about this DEATH" Holmes remarked,
as we chatted it over the next evening.
"Where will their grand advertisement
be now?"
I don't see that they had very much
to do with his capture" I answered.

Salzer's oats is the best of 300 varieties

George Batty, seventy-two years old. of
No. 100 Monticello avenue, was arrested
yesterday afternoon on warrant issued at
the instance of Mrs Elizabeth Grote, who
keeps a laundry agency at No. 1o2 Monticello o
avenue
Mrs. Grote charges Batty with entering
her store in an intoxicated condition on
Tuesday last while she was in Greenpoint,
Long Island, on business, and making i'm
proper propositions to her thirteen-year old
daughter. A nephew Of Mrs. Grote, also
thirteen years old, was present at the time.
He chased Batty with broomstick, pushed
him out and shut the door.
Batty SAYS he is innocent. He admits
that he was drunk on that day, but does
not remember any of the events reported to
have occurred.
He lives with his wife, who is fifty -four
years old, on tidy sum of money which he
accumulated during the thirty years he
worked in the Erie Railroad machine shops.
He offered bail before Justice Rowe today
and was released from custody. The case
was postponed by consent of both parties
until Monday morning.

trains of the Philadelphia and Reading
Railroad and two persons were killed and
seven injured. The dead are Daniel Hart
and - Lee Both men lived in Frank

went home. Those in the hospital are:-
Edward Scott, aged Is. general contu-
sions; Charles Hatzell, aged a. fracture
of both legs and arm; Dennis Cotter,
colored, aged 40, confusion of right knee.
The accident was caused by a violation
of train orders. A train leaves Frankfort
at 645 for the city. A minute before this
train leaves train is due at frankfort
from the city. The train from Frankfort
for some reason did not wait this morn
ing for the other train to arrive before II
started and a half mile from the station
the two trains came together head-on.
The engineers and fremen jumped be-
fore the collision and escaped Funhurt.
All those killed and injured were in the
smoking car of the inbound train. When
the collision took place the tender was
driven into the smoking car half its
length and the passengers were crushed
together.
