Mrs. Connor,s Death.

The following from the Huntsville,
Alabama, Daily Mercury of August 10,
is the account of the death of one who
lived many years in Pierre, as a girl and
young lady, and had many friends here:
One OF the saddest deaths it has ever
been our sad duty to chronicle is that
of Mrs. John r. Conner, nee Emma
Wells, who PEACEFUL passed away yes
terday afternoon at the city infirmary
at l:45 o'clock, from typhoid fever. For
thu past two years Mr.. and Mrs. Conner
had been residing at Boass. Marshall
county. Some two months ago they
came to Huntsville to visit relatives,
and very soon thereafter was taken sick
with fever aud went to the city inlirm-
airy. The disease from the outset mani.
tested itself in its most virulent form,
and all that the skilled physicians and
the tenderest and most watchful atten-
tion of the trained nurses could do
failed to arrest the fever in its deadly
march.
Mrs. Connor bore her sufferings with
the fortitude and patient endurance in
keeping with her gentle spirit and the
christian character of true, noble and
lofty womanhood. While resident of
this city she was one of the most active
and useful of all our noble women in
all good deeds of charity in caring for
the sick and the poor. Wherever she
moved her sweet presence was bene.
diction, and those who knew her best
loved her most. Society can ill afford
to lose such woman i'll the full bloom
of her splendid life, and her untimely
death sends a pang of sorrow and pro
found regret to every heart in this com.
munity.
Mrs. Conner was born in Zumborta,
Mimi, and came to Huntsville some
twelve years ago, and was in her 34th
year. She was a daughter of the late
w. S. Wells, whose death our people
still deeply lament. She leaves broken
hearted husband and grief stricken
mother, two brothers, Mr.. Glen Wells
and Lieut.. w. s. Wells, and other rela-
tives and many friends to mourn their
irreparable loss.
The funeral services will be held Mon
day afternoon at 8 O'Clock from the
residence of Mrs. w. S. Wells on Pu.
laski Pike.

HOW They Got I'm a Row,

At one of the English country inns
Hook and Mathews once got up mock
quarrel before a large company. The
wit and the comedian each appealed
most earnestly to the sympathy Of the
company, who, with the true British
prediction for anything In the shape
Of row, eagerly espOused the side Of
one or other Of the champions. The
contest proceeded, and Hooks cool in
vectives, we are told, grew more and
more cutting and the gesticulations Of
Mathews more wild and extravagant.
Blows followed, and the partlsans, full
of gin and valor, soon followed the ex-
ample Of their principals. A general
melee succeeded. Candles were knocked
out, tables and chairs overthrown, the
glasses "sparkled on the boards" and
In the midst of the confusion, just in
time to avoid the arrival of the police
and the impressive denouement, the
promoters Of the riot, unobserved, eff
fected their escape, leaving their excit-
able adherents to compute at leisure
the amount of damage done to their
persons and property and to explain, IL
possible, to magistrate In the morn
ing the cause and object of the combat.
