DEATH or ARTHuR r. sPIEss.

Arthur r. Spiess, one of the best
known and respected German Ameri-
cans, died Saturday afternoon at his
home, % Vernon street, at the age of
thirty three years At the time of his
death and for several years past he
had been employed as an agent and
collector for Philip Fresenius' Sons, the
brewers. He had been ill for several
months, unable to attend to his duties,
yet his death came suddenly and I'M
expectedly, and is attributed to heart
disease. He was supposed to be a suf-
fered from consumption or from a kid
ney and liver complaint, but the pri-
mary cause of his death is attributed
to an aggravated case of heart disease
Mr.. Spiess suffered acutely during his
illness, yet he was always hopeful of ul-
innate recovery His death causes

whom he was acquainted in both a bus
mess and social way.
The deceased was born in New York
but came to New Haven in his youth
with his parents and ever afterwards
educated in the public schools and

Spiess, a well known German citizen,
died. Mr.. Spiess was the proprietor of
the Garden saloon on Orchard street,
between Oak and Sylvan avenue, and
was a highly respected citizen. The
son, Arthur, after his death, was APP
prenticed to learn the trade Of an en-
graver. and he worked FOR some years
with the Meriden Silver Plate company.
He found lucrative employment with
Philip Fresenius' Sons, by whom he
had been employed for twelve years
previous to his death. He was regard

business and was extremely popular

Returned from De eath.

The following is clipped from the Plano CTeX Courier, and is indeed a remarkab story:
 One of the most remarkable occur rences yet reported is that which came under the observation of Rev. B. F. Wilson, pastor of the Christian church of this city. The case was that of young lady whom the minister h ad known from childhood, whom he had baptized and for whom about a year ago, he said the marriage ceremony.
 A few days ago the lady died, leav- ing an infant. Before her death, how ever, which occurred al Sherman, Tex, she requested that Bro. Wilson should preach her funerel. She haG been dead, supposedly, about an hour, and preparations were all made for dress ing her for the grave, when suddenly she opened her eyes and began to talk.
 "I have been to heaven," she said, 'and while there 1 beheld things of the most transcendent the eye ever
  rested upon. 1 saw my father and my mother and my husbands grandfather. The latter came to me and said, You need not tell me who you are; you are my grandson's wife," calling her hus- bands name. "Heretofore. <" contin- ued she, "I have been afraid to die, but now l am ready to %. My mar ried life was the happiest year of my existance, and have only come back for my baby"
 She then took her own hand and drawing her eyelids down, passed gently away. In about one hour her baby died, and both were buried in the same coffin. Mir. Wilson, as she re- que8ted, preached the funeral sermon. These are actual facts as told by the minister.

City Officials in Jail.

The city officials of Eureka Springs were lodged in the Berryville jail last week on the charge of contempt of court as a result of their failure to obey an injunction from Judge Pitman s court for the Western District of Car roll county.
 The trouble has grown out of long standing controversy between the city and the proprietor of the Basin Spring Bath House il, which the latter claims to have perpetual right to connect pipes with the Basin resovoior.
 The interference of Mayor Pick ard, City Marshal Coffey, Water Supt Campbell and Street Commissioner Willis has caused their arrest by the sheriff and they refused to give bail.
 The Times Echo thus describes tn cir journey to jail
 Amid the blare of trumpets, the wav- ing of flags and the plaudits of people, four distinguished prisoners, charged with contempt of court, left this fore noon for Berryyille in charge of Deputy Sheriff Carroll, there to be committed to the county jail. The very unusual proceeding, doubtless withoat paral- Tel in the history of the State, was more like holiday occasion than the very serious affair it is likely to prove The taIlyho was secured under the direction of w. A. Broad and this was soon filled with people anXlous to ac. company the prisoners, and by their presence endorse the present fearless stand taken by the city officials. Be- fore the tally-ho pulled out for the county seat Booth, the photographer, secured snap shot, with the sheriff and prisoners in the foreground.
 The Big Four arrived at BerryvilIe at } o'clock, having been met outside the town by delegation of citizens and escorted in.

All Hopes of the Old and New Com

The Adjutant General is having con
siderable difficulty in adjusting military
matters at Raleigh, Charlotte and Ashe-
vile. New companies We're formed III

of the old companies and they were nc
cepted into the State Guard. Now the
old companies. having returned ais
make application for admission anC
must be taken in. and the trouble arise.
over an attempt to amalgamate the Ole
and new companies.
In Raleigh. for instance. there arc
the old Governors Guard GO. n. and

Asheville there are the Asheville Lghi
Infantry f0ldD and the Blue Ridge Rife,
tnewb Charlotte has three companies
two old, Queen City Guards and HOr

Rifles.
In Raleigh there is considerable feel
ing between the two companies and the
prospect OF amalmagation is by III
means bright. said the Adjutant General
yesterday.
1t looks as if both companies will he
commissioned and recognized in the
Guard. That seems to be the only S0lu
ton of the difficulty. Captain Beavers
of the old Governors Guard. Expressed
much the same opinion. He sees little
likelihood of any agreement between the
two companies. Both he and the AID
iutant General thought it might not be
altogether II bad idea to have two com
panies here; that the rivalry between
the would make both better.
The only disadvantage that the old
company would suffer from the existence
of the new one would he that the appro-
priation of 5000 heretofore gwen it by
the city might be divided 500 to each
Even this, however, would be very
little disadvantage as the money al
ways goes for armory rent and an ar
rangement could he made for both com
panies to use the same armory.
The condition of affairs Ut Raleigh is
repeated at Charlotte and Asheyille.
While it is certain that the old com
panies that reorganiZe will be ADMITTED!
into the Guard. the new companies ALSO
are fighting for life-the Lee Rifles At
Charlotte and the Blue Ridge Rifles at

AT Charlotte neither of the oil COM
