HERSCHEL r. RANSOW DEAD.
Well Known Liyeryman Passes Away
 Early This Morning.

Well Known Liyeryman Passes Away
 Early This Morning.
 In the death of Herschel V. Ransom president of the Mcdonald &, Ransom company, which occurred last night at his home 9on Orange street, one of our best known townsmen has passed away MT. Ransom's health had not been of the best for several years past and it was evident to those who daily saw him in the last few months that his old time vigor had gone, never to return. His health had steadily declined ever since the winter set in. His naturally vigorous constitution had stood the strain of seventy-five years, and his sinewy frame had held up well for one of his age and up to within a very few years he had been a remarkably active man. He had been of late suffering from nervous prostration, and erysipe- las finally set in, causing his death. With him at his bedside at the last eb- ping of life were his two sisters, Mrs D Il. Bryant; a niece. and Charles l.. Kirt- land of the Mcdonald & Ransom com pany.
 Herschel V. Ransom was well known to most of Yale's graduates of the last fifty years from his prominence in the livery stable business and owing to his having for many years personally su- perintended the arrival and departure of carriages at the railroad depot. He began life as a hack driver for his fla ther, Sheldon Ransom, who at that time ran the largest hotel in the city.
 He was then fourteen years old but his keen business perception made him valuable to the older Ransom, who conducted in connection with his hotel business a large livery and hack bus mess. In 1S47 Mr. Ransom married, and during the same year he went into business for himself on Court street, where the stables of Mcdonald & Ran som are now located. In a short time he associated with him Oliver Barker, and this firm continued in business un- til about eight years ago, when the death of MT. Barker caused another change in the firm, and MT. Mcdonald, the surviving partner of the late firm, associated himself with MT. Ransom. As a result of his business career the deceaseds estate is said to be $500 900.
 Mrs. Ransom died about ten years ago. There were no children as the result of their marriage. Besides the family already mentioned MT. Ransom leaves several nieces and nephews, who do not live in this city. No ar engagements have been made for the funeral.

rRom THE rIGnrBRs' PARADISE.
All Three of the Contests Will Take Place
 Tp-ynOrrOXy.

Carson, New, March 15.-Dan Stuart fights will be pulled off on Wednesday, thus making the carnival the greatest in the history of pugilism. The Texan settled on this course late this after noon and Hawkins, Flaherty, Green and Smith were ordered to be on hand for medical inspection on Wednesday morning. The men will be examined by the official physician, Dr. Guinan of this city. Stuart evidently believes, in common with the majority of the people, that the mill will not be very prolonged, but it is not by any means equally certain that the other two bouts can be finished in the day.
 Two specials and the regular train landed goodly crowd of sports to-day and the town put on quite a busy ap- pearance, which was enhanced in pie turesqueness by the presence of num- Der of cowboys, who participated in an exhibition of equine skill just outside the town.
 Both Corbett and Fitzsimmons bade adieu to most of their training para phernalia to-day. Jim inflicted for the last time the jabs and upper cuts that have made the lives of Billy Woods and Jeffreys miserable for weeks past All the Fitzsimmons party were in town early and Bob took a drive with Mrs. Fitzsimmons towards Shaws Springs. They did not go quite to Corbett's quarters, but the rivals narrowly es- capped a meeting on the road.
 Contrary to expectations neither of the king-pins knocked off work entirely to-day. Both of them went through the usual program with slight modifi- cations.
