2. Christian IX, the aged King of Denmark, dean of crowned heads of Europe, died with startling suddenness in the Amalienborg Palace Monday afternoon. The accession of his successor, Prince Fredreick, his eldest son, who will be known as Frederick VIII, was proclaimed Tuesday. The following official bulletin was issued Monday evening: "His Majesty died at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon. After his Majesty had brought this morning's audience to a conclusion he appeared quite well, and proceeded to luncheon as usual.

Toward the end of the meal he gave evidence of disposition, and was compelled to retire to bed at 2:30 p. m. His Majesty passed away peacefully, the symptoms indicating heart failure." This bulletin tells concisely tho story of the death scene, which found every one, even those who realized the increasing feebleness of the King, unprepared for the sudden shock.

Sheely, representing the defendant Contradictions of the prosecutrix led up to the verdict rendered. Of the twelve cases on the trial list of civil cases ten were finally determined, two being continued, the latter being the cases of H. S.

Miller vs. Penna. Railroad Company for $3,000 damages for being put off train because short of fare as alleged.

It has cast a pall over the palaces of the nionarchs of Grtat Britain, Russia. Norway and Greece. The quick taking away of this distinct personality, who has for so long been a centre of interest not only to his own country but throughout the civilized world, almost paralyzed the community and unnerved the business world of Denmark. Every flag in the city is at half-mast; all places of amusement are closed, and the people walk the streets as though they were passing through the chamber of death itself. Monday afternoon when the flag flying over the palace was lapced at half-mast the news spread from mouth to mouth.

It was not believed by the great crowds which gradually assembled in the square in front of the Amalienborg Palace, but when uncertainty gave place to certainty those in the assemblage shed tears and dispersed in respectful silence, many baring their heads and saluting llie palace as they went by.
