Sacred to the Memory Of
CHARLES GRAvISCOURT.
Born, Feb. Is, 18-.

On another I read:
ALICE,
Beloved Wife of Charles Graviscourt.
Born, April 6, 49,.
Died, July q, 49,.

She has joined her Savior.

Died, Oct. 4th, 18-. Aged 2 years.
What fool | ami" l muttered as
I turned away. The air seemed to
have grown chilly since | had come
there. and l drew my coat close
around me and returned to my car
riage.
Like all meddlers. having been dis
appointed, l was determined to try
again, and my next visit was to the
Bureau Of Vital Statistics, at 3O1
Mott Street.
Upon making my errand known,
some little wonder was apparent
among the clerks, but l was readily
Accommodated, and was soon looking
over the death records of sixteen
years before, the year in which oc-
Cured, according to the marble shaft
in Trinity, the death of Alice, daugh.
ter of Charles and Alice Graviscourt.
At last found what | was looking
for. held in my hand the certificate
of death of the child whose untimely
removal had made Ralph Graviscourt
a millionaire.
Nothing was wrong about the Ger.
tificate. Every form OF law had been
complied with. The cause of death
was smallpox. The signature of the
physician attached was &c. Sigmotta,
M. d.
Doctor Dinsmore. the Secretary of
the New York Medical Society, was a
friend of long standing. l felt could
rely upon him, and vas soon at his
loor.
He greeted me cordially, and I had
no ,fliculty in telling him what
wanted to know. He smiled. and pro-
ceeded to look over some old folios he
nad taken from recess in his book
case.
After a few minutes spent thus, he
said:
Il find here the name of Charles
Sigmotta as member of our society
teen-fifteen-even twenty years
ago. He does not seem to have been
prominent, but little mention being
made OF him, except the fact that he
attended meetings. | barely recall
the name, and do not recollect the
man. But there is no doubt he was q
physician in good standing. He Is not
a member now. Wait. All, here it is!
He resigned thirteen years ago.
Where he is now, do not know"
1T is not important" said. What
| want to know is this: Sixteen years
ago documents-say death certificates
signed by him would be above sus-
picion, would they not?"
ITO the best of my knowledge and
belief, they would replied Doctor
Dinsmore. 81 know of nothing that
indicates to the contrary"
Having once more had my suspic.
ions laid to the ground, thanked the
doctor and hurried home.

lieutenant Wheeler.

Word was received Tuesday from Governor Kibbey that he had ap- pointed Sergeant Harry :. Wheeler of the territorial rangers to the lientenancy of the force to take the place of John Brooks, who re- signed last week to accept posi- tion with the Ensenada Mining company. Lieutenant Wheeler left yesterday morning for Tucson, where he expects to receive his commission.
 The appointment of Mir. Wheeler will be very we'll received here, as it is a promotion for him that has been we'll earned He has made an excellent record as a ranger and is known throughout the territory as one of the best peace officers and outlaw hunters in the southwest.
 Captain Rvnning received a message from the governor late last week, asking him if the ap- pointment of Sergeant Wheeler would meet with his approval and the captain wired back that no appointment would please him better.
 Lieutenant Wheeler is one of the best rifle shots in the world and has the army record for unknown distance firing, as well as being an expert at close range and fancy shooting Douglas Dispatch.
