1 A SUDDEN SUMMONS. Community Shocked by the Death of Mr. J. C. Humphreys Saturday Afternoon.

The many friends of Mr. J. C. Humphreys were shocked Saturday afternoon by the news of his sudden death. Mr.

Humphreys had come to Maysville in the forenoon to ship some hogs, and after they had been driven to the pens in the Sixth ward he came down town and went to Captain N. Cooper's warehouse on Front street to attend to some business matters. The office is on the second floor, and as he entered the door he was suddenly stricken and sank to the floor. Mr. E.

B. Powell was in the office, and sprang forward with the inquiry: "Why, Jack, what's the matter?" There was no response. The icy hand of death had forever stilled the tongue. The stricken man had expired almost instantly. The deceased had been troubled with some disease of the heart, and had complained Saturday morning and the night before of an unusual feeling in the region of that organ.

Deceased resided near Washington, and was one of Mason County's highly esteemed citizens. He was well known as one of the county's successful farmers and stock dealers. He was a member of one of the pioneer families of this section. His father, the late Charles Humphreys, was Sherift of Mason for several years. Deceased had been married twice.

His last wife, who was Mrs. Sallie (Forman) McDonald, survives him. He leaves two sisters and one brother, Miss Jane Humphreys, Mrs. Frank Perrie and Mr. Robert Humphreys, all of this city.

He was in the sixty-fourth year of his age. The funeral will occur to-morrow morning at 10 o'clock at the residence, with services by Rev. W. T. Spears.

Interment in the Protestant cemetery at Washington. Took French Leave. A Frenchman, who gave his name as Degarmo, struck Portsmouth recently and stopped at the boarding house of Mrs. Jennie Barr. He said he was dealing in electrical supplies, and on a plea of seeing what he could do in the way of supplying the house with electrical contrivances, he obtained access to nearly all the rooms and got the lay of the land.

Saturday morning he was missing, along with the silverware and a quantity of jewelry belonging to Mrs. Barr and some of the boarders.

Edward Biltz, Mayor-elect of Newport. He is forty-seven years of age and started in life as a blacksmith. He now has a Inachine shop at Tiffin street, Newport. The Enquirer says: "Mr. Biltz was married on October 11, 1870, to Miss Sarah Miller, of Maysville, and their union has been a most admirable and happy one.

The one shadow which has fallen upon their home came with the death of their eldest daughter Amy, which occurred two years ago, when the girl was just blooming into womanhood. One daughter and five sons remain to them, and all but one live in the cozy and cheerful home at 906 Columbia street. The daughter, Lulu, is now sixteen, a sweet, womanly girl, whose friends are numbered by hundreds. Of the sons, Charles, who is now twenty-two, is connected with the L. and N.

railroad. Edward, who is twenty-four, and George, who is twenty-one, have charge of the principal part of the routine work in the shops. Teddie, aged twelve, is a cheery, red-cheeked schoolboy, and Howard, the baby, just past his third birthday, pursues the usual useful avocation of young gentlemen of his age. One son: George, married Miss Leona Hyde, of Newport, one year ago, and the young folks live at Third and Columbia streets, in Newport. Mr.

Biltz is a safe man to hold the reins of city government. He is honest. fearless and conscientious, and the respect and love in which his children hold him is proof of this." Mrs. Biltz, as stated a few days ago, is a sister of the Messrs. Miller, dealers in harness, of this city.
