SAD BEREAVEMENT.

The sad death of Miss Meta V. R. Fellowes, which was recorded in our yesterdays issue, was received with sorrow all over the city among her numerous friends.
 The deceased was the daughter of F. Wayland Fellowes, the well known and distinguished artist of IA Whitney avenue.
 She was attacked with typhoid fever about three weeks ago and was at tended by Drs. B. H. Cheney Arthur S. Cheney and Paul c. sliff. Three trained nurses were In constant at tendance upon her and everything which the best medica, skill and ten der, constant care could do was done to save her life, but all proved of no avail.
 Miss Meta v. R. Fellowes was born twenty-three years ago in Lausanne, Switzerland, where her family lived for many years, and where Mir. Eel sowes was extending his study in art. The family returned to this country about fifteen years ago.
 She inherited the artistic talent of her father, of which she gave evidence early in life Tn addition to this she developed remarkable ability in music and the natural gift of an excellent so- prano voice drew her attention to music, although she was good sketch artist and drawer.
 She studied music under a number of excellent musicians, the last of whom, Max Truman of New York, was her instructor up to the time of her illness.
 Morris Steinert and Professor Parker oe the musical department of Yale considered (her an exceptionally fine musician and were enthusiastic Gs 10 her possibilities. She was not often heard i'll public, but occasionally she sang in entertainments for charitable purposes and the fact that she was upon the program for one or two num- bers always proved great attraction,
 In society she was considered esne- cially bright and witty and was con versant with several foreign languages. She was a charming young lady gifted and beloved and her death is indeed q great bereavement
 She was Q faithful mamDer Of the Episcopal church and the funeral ser vices will be held at Trinity P P. church at o'clock, Wednesday after noon. Rev. Mir Douglas. the rector, will conduct the services.

A HOME INSTITUTION.

And Points of Interest About New
 Haven Enterprise of Merit Appreci-
 ated in Our Commounity.
 Our esteemed and enterprising towns man, J. l.. Nesbit, is deservedly to be congratulated on the growth and con stant development of his business, and the constantly increasing public favor with which his efforts to provide the best there is for his patrons is receiv- ed. His big stables, so well known and so centrally located, are well kept mod els of neatness and equipped with an excellent supply of fine carriages, which arc highly appreciated by the ladies and gentlemen of our City of Films and are in much demand. "Nes- bits has long since been recognized as model spot at which ladies can be provided with elegant carriages with rubber tires, for making visits or shop ping calls, or for fine landaus for a family drive to points in and about our beautiful city. Among the many fine carriages is a splendid DoWney Lan- dau just added, which is a superb car riage in every respect; the finest, in fact, in the city of New Haven or in our whole little state. It is a splendid carriage, Then there are fine coupes, in variety, unsurpassed for calling, shopping, etc. It will be easily seen that this is the place to get carriages for weddings, receptions, funerals and other public occasions, or to call car riage by just using the "phone" at any hour of the day or night, or to hire a livery team for a driye-all with horses, some twenty-five or thirty in number, that MT. Nesbit knows so well how to select and to care for, he being an eX- pert in all lines of his business. There fore and finally, when in want of a car riage for any purpose, on any day, at any time, or for rent by the hour, day, week or month, call on MT Nesbit and you are certain that quality, price and service and in all dealings, you will re- ceive 8 good equivalent and perfect satisfaction.

Charges of conspining Against Baker and
Hill to Be Investigated BY the
Grand JURY,

CHICAGO, ILL, April 30.-On complaint
of William Skakel, the "bucket-shop king"
OF Chicago, the Grand Jury to-day decided
to investigate charges of conspiracy pre-
ferred by him against President William
t. Baker of the Board of Trade and Civic
Federation; John Hill Jr., chairman OF
the bucket-shop prosecuting committee
of the Board of Trade; Thomas Candy,
civic federation detective who obtained
evidence against the raided bucket-shops
and others. The alleged conspiracy is in
connection with the procuring OF Justice
Court warrants on which the successive
raids were made by the police. The Grand
Jury did not return a bill to-day in the
new cases against Skakel, which have been
considered for two days. The investiga-
ton of the Board of Trade officials was
taken independently of the States Attor-
ney, who repudiates the Skakel complaint,
although addressed to him.
