LL ------ % Mrs. Anita MeMurrow, Claimant of Title and Vast Estates, Foungd Dead in Apartments. Philadelphia, Jan, 19.--Mrs. Anita DeB. McMurrow, also known as: the "Countess: De. MBemencours," seventy- five years old, once famous because of claim to ownership of vast estates in Spain and Cuba, of the value of | $32,000,000, died at her home "here, vesterday, under circumstances that warranted the coroner in instituting an investigation, Her son, John, has bven detained by the police pending the outéome of the coromer"s inquiry. | Mrs. : came into public no- tice 'in the early seventies, when she wlaimed to be the daughter of a rich ish grandee. 'During the centen- ul in 1878, when people from all over the world 'visited Philadelphia; she lavishly entertained distinguished guests of this and other countries. + Some years latér, her claims having been scouted by some of those from whom she had received money, 'she was arrosted on the charge of swind- ling. She was not convicted. In re cent years she and her son lived in the house hero where she died. Her neighbors said she always appeared to be well-toxdon "Late Monday night neighbors heard goreams in the house and cries of murder. No 'one interfered.

The blessing of the Neva is one of the greatest and most popular celebrations of Rusia and usually attracts many thousands of 41 the ceremony was not as elabor- ate as in former years aml greater precautions were taken to prevent a repetition of the attempt upon the life of the czar, which marred the festivi- ties last year. of the river had just ended, about oné o'clock in the afternoon, of Janu- ary 10th, 1905, and the czar still stood in the little chapel built out over the frozen Neva, in front of the winter palace, surrounded by members of the diplomatic corps' and high dig- nitaries of the state, when the salute from the batteries on the big square in front of the bowsp was fired. A perfect hail of shot, at big-as pigeons eggs, struck the chapel and the avalls and windows of the winter palace be- yond the chapel, narrowly missing the czar and the members of the imperial family, who occupied the windows and 1 H ri 4 3 RECALLED EVENT.

"Field Marshal the Duke of Welling- ton never ordered a pair of braces of Messrs. Simpkin. If I. M. the Duke of Wellington had ordered the articles, he could. not forget it. ¥. M. the Duke of Wellington always pays for his braces." This was a very odd document for a lady's album, but its anthenticity was undoubted, and it therefore found the best place in the interesting collection. The way in which this singular note was elicited was. this: Mr. H. filled up one of the bank- ruptey court forms and signed it, in- forming the duke that in winding up the affairs of Messrs. Simpkin he (the assignee) found on thelr books the sum of 6s. 6d. due By Nis grace for a pair of braces, which hip requested the duke would immediately pay or have paid.

Without any difficulty she obtained a loan of 865,000 from Benjamin Crab- tree, and subsequently went abroad. Upon her return here she called her- self the "Countess Ne Bemencourt.' At -one of ber functions in 1876, were President Grant, Dom Pedro of Brazil, and Scnor Barea, Spanish minister to the United States. Senor Barea was a frequent visitor after that and one night the countess in- duced him to let her have for a day the £20,000 that had been sent him for legation expenses, She did not re- pay the sum and with disgrace star- ing him in the face the minister shot York. ; A GREAT TALKER.

While in the act of selling his wares he would keep up such a run- ning fire of words that many of his patrons lost their heads, and in some cases paid him more money than was their intention, In Millbury one'day he sold a wo- mhn six pounds of fish at six cents a pound, and m bunch of radishes for five cents, The woman stood with her purse in hand ready to foot the hill, and as the goods were passed over Handy rattled off this: "Six times six is ninety-six, and five is 101. Live and let live is my motto; call it a dollar." The woman was educated, and knew the value of money, but shé did not know the mysterious ways of Ebenez- er Handy, and she paid $1, thinking he had kindly thrown off the odd cent, Deathless.

The police ar- rested the officers and men attending the battery and the latter were after- wards court-martialled. It was never ascertained whether the firing of the grapeshot was an accident or inten: tional.

Smoot Bsa'e Grim Humor. Louisville, Ky., Jan. 19.--William Van Dalsen, calivicted of the murder of his mistress Fanny Porter, was exe- cuted to-day by hanging 'in the eonn- ty jail. He remained game to the last and showed remarkable nerve. For weeks Van Dalsén had been lab- oring with his pocket knife on such wood as he could Jay his hands on, shaping the various pieces into a ini. ature scaffold. After he 'had completed his task be discovered, that he had omitted. the trap. He not only remedi- ed the defect, but added a dummy fig- ure, and ' a contrivance which caused the trap to spring, and the little fig- ure to drop through, as far as the rope around its neck would permit, when a nickle was put in the slot. He set up his little moddl and attached a sigh to it, which reid "Drop a nickle in 'the slot and see how it looks for a man to be hanged." He considered his handiwork a great joke and often made grim remarks about it to those who came to visit him and dropped nickles in the slot to see the model work. Van Dalsen killed Faony Porter a little over a year' ago by cutting her throat from ear to rar. He never de nied the crime, hut asserted that he had acted in self defence. .
