At first it was intended to send it across the Caspian, qrom Astrakhan or Ghoarief to Novo Alexandrovsk, and thence to the cultivated valley of the Oxus, This route, however, as well as, several others ‘which were proposed, was abandoned as impracti- - Cable, either upon the representations of Gener: Perovski, or in consequence of the want of trans- ports on the Caspian and the obstacles which the shallows of the eastern coast of that sea present for the landing of artillery. Shortly afterwards peace was re-established between Russia and Khiva, and all further attempts to penetrate into the latter country were consequently abandoned dor the time. THE PRESENT EXPEDITION, The expedition now on foot is therefore only another attempt to reduce this refractory and bar- barous neighbor—tkis obstacle to civilization and the trade between Europe and Asia—the last inde- pendent upholders in Turkestan of Mahommedan barbarism. PLAN OF OPERATIONS. ‘The total force intended to take the fleld, count- ing all arms, is computed in St. Petersburg at 15,000 men, The plan of operations is that proposed by Colonel Weniakotl, by which the iuvading force has been divided into three separate coiumps, whose advance upon the capital from the north, the south" West, and the cast is simultaneous, Owing to the | vast distances are which to be traversed, ere the troops reach their destination and the scarcity of provisions, water and forage aiong the greater portion of the roxtes, cach of these columns was restricted to the smallest pos- sible number compatible with fighting power and With the attainment of the object in view, The base of operations for the first of these columns— viz., that advancing trom the nort|—is Orenburg, whieh is more than 800 miles irem \kiva, A great | part of this route, which is the one which was fol- lowed by General Peroyski in the water of 1839-"40, lies over desolate steppes of the most barren and #heerless character, The second column—viz., that which advances from the southwest under the command of Colonel Markosott, and which ia to be partly compesed of troops taken from the army of the Caucasus—has for its starting point the new fort of Chikishiliar, in Hassan Kult Bay, about ten miles to the nerth of the mouth of the Atrak, From the latter place there are several practicable toutes by which the column can advance upon Khiva, The most convenient of these woul: prob- ably be the one called the Téké route, vid Kisel Arvat, Chin Mohammed and Ortaku., By this route the troops have qefore them a march of 560 miies, of which a great | portion lics through the desert, betore reaching | their objective point. The third detachment, under the command of General Kaufmann, is to advance from the cast. via Tashkent, in Russian Turkestao. Between it and its objective point, however, inter- venes in a direct line the waterless desert of Kisel Kani. On this account the column will have to farry a great deal ef water from the last point on its route ai which water is found. Although the troops thus move from three main directions, they will march directly on Khiva from two secondary bases. One of these is at Aibugir (A On the map), the other is at Bukan, in the hills be- ‘tween the deserts of Kizil Kam and Batkak Kum (Bon the map). At the former point will concen- ‘trate the columns from Orenburg or Eimbensk and the columns from Chikghliar, Krasovodsk and Mangishlak, At the latter will concentrate the columus from Fort Peroyski, Kazala, Tasnkent and Djisak. At Aibugir the columns from the north, the west and southwest will halt for aneces- sary rest from their arduous march to that point. ‘They will perhaps also receive there some fresh Bupplies—brought by the boats on the Aral Sea trom Kazatenska, at the moutn of the Jaxartes, mich is an important depot. At their point of concentration a fort is tobe built, The columns Which concentrate at Bukan have to marci: 160 miles across the desert before reaching the Oxus, pected to touch at Schurahan, Bixty miles from Khiva, This march will likely take them not less than sixteen days, and for this period apparentiy they must carry water, They doubticss get this fual supply at Bukan, DRGAVIZATION AND MOVEMENTS OF THE FORCE, seen THR TURKESTAN COLUMN, General Kau!mann, th Dperating before the general concentration with the Turkestan column, issued the lollowing order of the day on leaving ‘fashkend:— onsidering the eminently hostile attitude re- ceNily adopted towards us by the Khivese, aud in order to pauish this Kianate, lits Majesty the Em- peror has been pleased to order decisive measures to be taken with the advent of Spring, Our troops will accordingly 1 upon Khiva irom two side AL once—from tie Last the forces the militar; district under my command will proceed in a west- ern direction; irom the West, detachments formed out of the Caucasus and Orenbu wise take the Wh tachments o! the junction in the territe: or, at any rate, when they shall have put them- Selves in communication with each ether, the com- tiand of the whole jorces wiil be asstined by me.

The command ef the Orenburg force has been entrusted to Lieutenant General Verevkine, one shad Governor and Commander of the Ural trict, letter, recently published in ORENBURG LINE. As to the line of march to be pursued by the Orenburg iorce, the following is the complete itinerary of the usual caravan road:— Ontpost Berdianski Khanski.

The above road, which skirts the western shores of Lake Arai, admits of being shorteaed by cross- ing Lake Aibugir, instead of going round it. In this case tie route leaves Daviet Girei, the deserted fort of Prince Bekovit Jor the Oasis of Ak Suat, to which the total distance from Orenburg is 898 versts. Proceeding further to the Urge Promon- tory (82 versts), it crosses Lake Aibugir by boat, (22 versts), and continues on camel through the ford of Baru Aibugir (40 versts) to Kungrad (62 versts).

The fuel is supplied by the Sak- saul, the creeping willow ef the Asiatic desert, growing freely in the more sheltered places, and until lately, it, may be remembered, used by the steamers on the Sir Darya and Lake Aral. All the way the ground is so level as to present no difficulties to the transport of artillery or commissariat wagons, Not even the ascent’ of the Ust-Urt nor the descent from it 1orms an exception to this, The caravans ordinarily take from forty-five to fifty-five days in going from Khiva to Orenburg, but in Spring, when the wells are iuil, they have been Known to reach the Russian frontier in thirty-one, and on some occasions even in twenty-six days. The progress of the troops will be tauch siower, as they march in echelons to admit of the wells rediiing in the inter- Vai clapsing ’etween the successive arrivals, The column intended to operate on this very | diMcult line, amply provided to meet all contin- gencies that may be foreseen, leit Orenburg, Orsk na Uraisk in echelons irom February 25 to March 5. Their immediate destinatien was the Emba Post, where the whole force was to be concen- trated beiore proceeding further seuth. To facill- tute the march the twe battailons of the line and the cannon were transported on sledges, the artil- Jery horses being led as far as the Emoa Post. To protect the men from the snow storms a number of djulamek (Kirghese felt tents) lorm part of their equipment, Wherever the troops halted for the night the Kirghese, by dint of extra payment, were induced to provide them with tents, fuel, hay and meat, As both these latter commodities are likely to be | wanting in the second half of the way, where the troops will be obliged to skirt the Ust-Urt, the force carries with it asmali quantity of salt meat 15,000 rations of preserved meat and 1,000 tchet- verts (avout six thousand bushels) of oats, There ure also eight pumping apparatus on the modern pipe pattern in the camp and two bridges—the one @ pontoon bridge, the other on stakes—to assist in assage Ol the Khivese canals, Over and above the stores and utensils supplied by the fleld hospi- tal of the force, the Orenburg section of the Society for Succoring the Wounded and Sick has con- | tributed three carriages and fifty litters and a good many necessaries and danties to be distributed in the hospitals, such as sugar, tea, tobacco, &c. Journals, books and writing utensils are likewise included among the gifts of the Society, who have spent 3,000 roubles on the expedition. By March 30 the whole expeditionary force was assempled at the Emba Post, the greater part of the troops having performed the distance in the time officially allowed them. Only the Ural Cos. sacks and the luggage trains, owing to the bad condition of the roads, arrived later than was an- ticipated. In some localities the snow was 80 deep and in others the soil so torn with rills and fissures that the trogos copldagt get on for hours. They | Bug-a-Boo. , OUNCrS Will Were materially assisted by the Kirghese, who be- haved everywhere exceedingly well. Notwith- Standing the exertions undergone during the march the health of the force was good, Some oMcers and men suffered from inflammation of the eyes, breught on by the dazzling whiteness of the snowy steppe. Accoraing to the latest intelligence received the van, censisting of two sotnios and the sap- pers, left the Embensk Post on the 7th of April, the main force starting in échelons on the 10th and lith of April. Their route lies by the walls of Ati Djaksi and Asu Tasti, the Desert of Isen ‘Tchagil, and the shores of Lakes Aral and Aibugir, as lar as the Aibugir declivity (Chink) of the Plateau, fiity miles from the city of Kunya Ur- gendsh, At the aibugir deciivity General Verev- kine is to effect a junction with the Caucasian jorces sent right across the Ust Urt trom the Kin- derii Bay. To cover the General’s rear and main- tain order and quiet in the Orenburg Steppe smalier detachments will be despatched to the Ust Urt plateau, the Desert of Sam and the chasm of Djeviske, near the river 'Tchegan, When leaving the Emba Post the force carried Provisions tor eignty days. Further stores will be sent from the Post to the promontory of Urgu, Where, a8 we have said, a fort is to be built, The revisions sent and to be sent will suilice to main- tain the Jorce till the 27th of September, a precau- tion taken im case an inadequate quantity of victuals is touud in Khiva, ‘The provisions tor the March home are not included in this, but will be collected and despatched separately. WHAT WILL SHE DO WITH IT? It is a question much agitated in England whether Russia, baving marched up the Khivan hill will simply march down again for the pleasure and satisfaction of Join Bull, On this the inspired Moscow Gazelle says that the announcement of Russia’s intention to evacuate Khiva after conquer. ing it must not be taken for a solemn promise. As in the case of Samarcand, Russia, in dealing with Khiva, will be solely guided by circumstances and her own interests, Russia would certainly pre- fer occupying only a few commanding poinis oi the Kuanate, but it would be as preimature for her to decide this complicated question now as it would be useless to the English to discuss it at this early date, Only after their arrival on the spot will it be possible to determime whether the interests of eace and commerce can be sufiicicntly protected with the Khan remaining in power. The Goloss (semi-oficial) speaks even more strongly, as ioliows:—**The question, what is to be done with Khiva when subdued, can have but one answer, Trivutary independence, in the case of an Asiatic Khanate, means simply an unbroken series of murders, robberies, rebellions and imter- ruptions of trafic, As ‘or evacuating the Khanate at the elose of the campaign, it would be a virtual suicide, For those who have once advanced into Central Asia there is no retreat. Oar backs once turned, the whole country behind us would be ablaze in a mement. ‘The forces of Russia (let us speak plainly and boldly) cannot and shall not be withdrawn trom Kuiva when once it is in their hands, Let the sneers of M. Vamb¢ry and his English colleagues rain upon us if they will—what does it matter? Russia is neither Burmah nor Cashmere, that she should require to secure herself by duplicity; she is strong enough to lay down tor herself a reasonable boundary, and to defend tt, il need be, by the strong hand.” This is plain speaking; but not a whit plainer than the occasion Cemands, If the expedition is to leave behind it matertal for fresh outbreaks and fresh chastisements ad inginitum, it might as well not be sent at all, No government can be expected to*expend eighteen months in costly and laborious preparations, to lavish millions of roubles, to march an army of 15,000 men (and the Russian forces will muster at least that number) across the worst deserts of Central Asia, merely in order to repeat the whole undertaking as soon as the Khivans are strong enough to be insolent. Rightly, indeed, said Machiavelli, that “the only safe blows are those which are too heavy to be avenged.” To treat the arrogant semi-savage of the Eastasa man and a brother may be very pretty in theory, but it is excessively inconvenient in practice. In his eyes all kindness is mere stupidity, all forbear." ance mere cowardice, Few truer words have ever been spoken than the sentence quoted a few lines back, that “for those who have once ad- vauced into Central Asia there is ne re- treat.”” It has become the fashion in Western Bu- rope to say that the Asiatic tribes have been either cajoled or coerced Into @ complete submission to Russia, A greater mistake could hardly be made. It is not too much to assert that the slightest re- verse to Russia’s arms at the present moment would unsheath against her every yataghan from the Sir-Daria te the Oxus, not merely in the inde- pendent Khanates, but among her own subjects likewise. It would be utterly unreasonable to sup- pose that if the expedition succeeds in reaching Khiva and the Russian government is enabled to make the ruler of the Khanate feel that he is amenable to punishment, it will consent after a time to evacuate the country, and thus to leave the Khivans free to continue their insults and, depredations as before. When once Knhiva is in Russian hands it will and ought to remain Russian forevor. YACHTING.

WILLIAM A. RICHARDSON, Secretary. WOMAN IN THE PULPIT. Rev. Phebe A. Hanmaford’s Sermon in Jersey City—The Rite of Baptism Per= formed—Interesting Scene. The First Universalist congregation of Jersey City worship ia the small, unpretending structure that, until recently, was occupied by the Metkod- ists, and- situate opposite Library Hall, in the Bergen district. Here the Rey. Phobe A. Hanaford, of New Haven, held forth yesterday to an admiring if not a curtosity seeking congregation, It was what is designated Floral Sun- day, and a choice collection of flowers around the pulpit shed a delicious perfume through the build- ing. The scene throughout must have been a novel one to men of the olden time like honest Edgar B. Wakeman, whose years count back to the century when the advent of women into the pulpit would have been regarded as one of the premonitions of the day of judgment. The Rey. Phtebe may be only thirty, but she may be also fifty. Fine black curls fall on either side of an in- tellectua! head till they reach the shoulders, and once must have imparted a delightful grace to the lady’s presence. She addresses her congregation With fluency, and tne first characteristic that eke the hearer is the absence of embarrass- men’ The reverend clergywoman discoursed on bay tism, which she discussed so tioroughly that not paly Was little leit to be said on the subject, bus little efficacy was left in the sacred rite itself. Here are some of the conelustons:—No baptism except that of the Divine Spirit can truly satisfy any Christian or save any sinful soul. BAPTISM IS NOT A SAYING GRACE in any sense. It is not the beauty of the person, but of the spirit, that coustitutes a saving grace, In love, Christian love only is true beauty to be found. The reverend preacher abandoned this theme and launched into a most fertile one for all preachers, the Sermon on the Mount—‘Cousider the lilies oi the tleld, how they grow; they toil uot, neither do they spin: and yet | say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.” She entered intoan elaborate DEFINITION OF THE WORD “CONSIDER,” “to sit close by,” &c., and then called on the chil. dren tosit close and closer by the Nowers surround. ing her, As nobody moved the force of the meta. phor must Nave been felt. ‘Consider the lilies 0: the field how they grow,” and she laid such an emphasis on “how”? in the third repitition and on “grow” in the fourth that the sermon was becom- ing too anu opa ia altogether for the juveniles of the Sanday school till she pointed the text by tell- ing the children how they should GROW IN SPIRIT and in grace, always remembering that Solomon in all bis glory was not arrayed like one of these. The peroration was redolent of flowers. ‘The preacher, like the allegorical eagle, seemed to grow young, for her countenanee beamed with that enthusiasm and animation that recalled the days long gone by ere she dreamed of becoming a teacher of men, AN INTERESNING SCENE : followed. Fifteen or sixteen candidates for bap- tism, mostly children ofan average age of two ae were brought to the railing, ‘The first little fellow struggled violently when the Rev. Phoebe took him in her arms, clasped him as amother, put the water on his head and pronoufced the words, “1 baptize thee,’? &c, The third little fellow was determined not ‘to submit, for his voice rung through the church, “NO, MAMMA; NO, MAMMA} NO, MAMMA;’? at the same time struggling to reach his mother’s arms, Yet no mother could fondie the boy more tenderly than did the reverend celebrant, for on pronouncing the word “Amen” she imprinted oe the cheek of each candidate, including ‘own-up one, a deep, long-drawn kiss, at the same time pressing the dear one to her bosom with such fondness that her frame quivered withemotion. Yet this did not reconcile the little ones to the strange ceremony until the reverend clergyman gave to each a deli- cate flower, pronouncing at the same time some beautiful words, which were not audible through. out the building, and with these the ceremony was brought to @ close. Parents and children alike seemed happy. THE FATHER OF THE PRESIDENT. —_—— Jesse R. Grant on His Deathbed. [From the Cincinnati Enquirer, June 27.) Since his paralytic stroke Mr. Jesse R. Grant has been quite lame, deafer than before, and has had dimeculty in utterance. Yet until two weeks ago he kept about, and at times seemed almost spry. At last, a fortnight ago, nearly at the close of his seventy-ninth year, the venerable father of the President succumbed to “general debility” or to that painless yet fatal disease which mortuary re- ports classify as “old age.” He was compelled to take to his bed at his comfortable, even elegant home, 520 Greenup street, Covington, where he calmly awaits the last. He is attended by Mrs. Grant and her daughter, Mrs. Cramer, the President’s sister. Minister Cramer eit here a few days ago» He had intended to leave for Washington some time in advance of his sailing for Copenhagen, but re- mained until the last moment, alarmed at his father-in-law’s condition, That Dr, Thomas, the family physician, and Surgeon Swilt, United States Army, called in consultation, regard the end as very near is certain. Mr. Grant himself believes that it is @ question of uot many days, and is in- deed so feeble that amale nuarse has to be with him might and day. Yesterday General Kautz, one of the distinguished callers, told Mrs. Grant in the presence of General swift, and probably by his ad- vice, that Mr. Grant’s surviving brother, who lives near Maysville, had better be sent for, asthe patient would probably like to see him, Meanwhile the President's intentious are not definitely an- nounced to the family, although it is be- lieved that he appreciates the seriousness of the situation and may arrive at any moment, At any moment, «also, may his venerable father fall to sleep forever, passing away so quietiy—as is usualin such cases—that those who love him best will hardly be avle to detect the instant where Time ends and Eternity begins. The old man’s path has not always been strewn with roses, Nor have we always been able to speak surroundings, In the peaceful resignation with which, having scen his “soldier boy’ General of the armies, President of the most powerful Re- public on earth, and re-elected triumphantly, the lather awaits death, is there not the germ of that iron-like “grit? which, if any personal quality, has made the son what he is? Or does serenity spring irom the Providential provision, which ren- ders those wifo carry four-score years willing with- outa struggie to surrender their load of lie and be at rest y ARSON IN BROOKLYN, Atalate hour on Friday night a frame building, known as the “old farm house,’ located on North Twelfth street, between Second and Third, and owned by Colonel Hunt, took fire and was nearly destroyed before the flames were extinguished. The Fire Marshal, on examining the premises, be- eame convinced that the fire was the work of an incendiary. The lower part of the house was oc- cupied as a junk shop by Henry Heiland, the upper. partas adwelling by aman named Vogie, a Ger- man, The fire was first discovered in the upper part of the building, Isaac Robinson, proprietor 1 astore in the vicinity, made an amidavit before Fire Marshal Keady, in which he stated that Holland came to him and offered him $10 to burn the place, and that he had made all the arrangements to do so with turpentine and kerosene, The roof was to be burned first in order to give the occupavis ol the building an opportu. nity to escape, He said he was insured, and when the fire occurred would be in Jamaica, Robinson said that he refused, and James, Holland's son, made him the same oifer, and that he would be sure he got the money. James Holland said the baiiding must be burned that night. The Fire Marshal, yesterday, upon this aMdavi caused the arrest of Holland and his son. ‘The ol man, Henry Holiand, was locked up in the First recinet station house, while his son was confined in the Fifth precinct. They will be arraigned jor examination this morning before Jadge Walsh, Miss Gerene M Faugemann, a ‘girl eighteen years of age, who was terribly burned some fifteen weeks ago by her clothes taking fire while engaged in kindling @ fire in @ grate at 347 West hes Ann he Teet, died late Friday night i Bellevue Hospital. body was removed to 34 Ninth avenue, where Koagigr waa bal@apinduest. - on ee A HORRIBLE MURDER, A Long Island Farmer Thrown Into a Well and Killed with Stones—A Murder that is Surrounded with Mystery—Remarke able Conduct of Séme Per- sons at Present Unknown. ‘The whole south side of Long Island is extited over the perpetration of @ horrible murder in the quict little hamlet of South Oyster Bay, in Queens county, The whole affair is shrouded in mystery, and there is but little possibility of a solution of the terrible crime. THE VICTIM of the tragedy is Samuel Jones, a farmer seventy years of age, who, for more than fifty years, had lived on the farm where he was so brutally murdered, He was & man of many ec- centricities, scrupulous and industrious, and was supposed to be worth from fifty to seventy-five thousand dollars, Notwithstand- ing his extreme age he had never married, and for many years had lived alone, The house in which he resided is one story and attic, with an extension on the northerly side. It is situated about the middle of the farm, with the outhouses at a considerable distance, On the farm, at about one hundred yards distance, is located a small house, the ap- pearance of which would walicute its erection some time during the last century, In this house the murdered man was born, and in it now resides a good natured Irishman named Peter Maloney, who had been employed to work the farm, THEORY OF THE MURDER, That Jones was murdered is beyond the possibf- ity of a doubt, but the attending circumstances are as yet but mere conjecture, The murder was gommitted on Friday night. During «the day Jones had peen at work in one of his flelds, In the evening his brother calied, and when he leit the victim was about to prepare the evening meal, While thus engaged some grass near tue South Side Railroad track took fire and was extinguished by him. A daughter of Peter Maloney saw him combating the fire and this was the last seen of him alive. Alter his return to the house he conciuded the preparation of his meal, and on Saturday morning the table was spread with eatables, @ large plate of strawberries being tne principal art. cle of food, Hecouid not have partaken of the food, judging rom the Cleantiness ef the dishes,and it i$ believed that, while absent queuch- ing the fire, the murderers secreted themselves in the house. There must nave been more than one man engaged in his murder, In his bedroom iootprints of varying sizes were visibie. Jt is belteved that he was stunned by @ blow irom @ ciub, one being found in tie dining room, it bad been newly cut, and, perhaps, from his own woodland, Alter being stunned the house was pillaged from atte to cellar, locks broken and drawers opened, and their contcats scattered mdiscrimimately about. It 18 not Known What the murderers secured, and itia believed that their booty was but small. His brother says he kept very little money in the house, bt must have lad many bonds, The murderera mussed a small closet in which he kept his valuable papers, but no bonds were found taere, FINDING THE BODY. On Satarday mo:ning Peter Maloney went to the house aud knocked, but received no answer. ‘Thinking his employer had gone to the Southside Railroad ca he passed the time working about the yard. Jones was an unusually early riser, and his non-appearance led Maloney to knock on the doors again. He received no reply. Going ta the well, which is just in the rear of the house, he tried to draw up a bucket of water, but the rope would not work. The well is but twenty feet deep and has but iorty inches of water. Naturally Ma- loney looked down the weil to discover the iin ment to the working of the bucket and the body of Jones met his gaze. He gave the alarm, semi for Jones’ brothers, and at nine o'clock the was lifted from the well. The head was cut a bruised in several places. On the forenead was a large scar, supposed to have been inflictea hy the club when first struck. In the well there Were also several large stones and trunks of trees, These had been carried irom @ com siderable distance and thrown into the well for the purpose oi killing him. The rope was be spattered with blood, and this fact is believed to be evidence that he undertook to raise from the well when tie stones and trees were thrown upon him, ‘he pockets of his pantaioons were turned inside out, and his watch and chain were gone. This is the story of the murder as gleaned by the reporter yesterday. OFFICIAL ACTION. Coroner Baylis and Mr. McCoun were present an@ empaneiled a jury yesterday. The Coroner or- dered that the investigation should take place to- day at Hicksville. Some of the witnesses and qaacen said they could not go so far, and @ other of che murdered man owered to de the Coroner’s expenses to come to South Oyster Bay and hold tho inquest. Mr. McCoun objected to any arrangement with the Coroner, as he was his legal adviser and would attend to that. The day jor holding the inquest was then changed to Tues- day, at Oyster Bay. NO SUSPICION AGAINST ANY ONE. The family connections of the murdered man have not the slightest suspicion who committed the crime. They believe that the murder was per- petrated by strongers for the purpose of robbery. As to the crime having been committed by strangers, opinion is probably wrong. Des peradoes from abroad would scarcely resort to murder when simply in search of money or vatu- ables, where their oniy obstacle was a poor old man, utterly deieaccless. Perhaps the more correct theory is that the perpetrators of the horrible crime were intimately acquainted with the victim; that, fearing the consequences of their acts, threw him into the well, thinking that he woul drown, Had this been the case would have been supposed that he fellinto the well ac- cidentally, When he showed signs of life after being thrown into the well their only recourse was to kill him, and this they did by tiurowing stones and tree trunks into the well, One of his brothers informed the reporter that some time ago he made & will, but a search of the house failed to find it. A SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE, After his brother had searched the bedroom bureau he went up into the attic. On returning he again went into the bedroom, and, tent open one of the drawers, found a buneh of small keys, with the water dripping from them. He solemnly declares that the keys ‘vere not there when the first search was made, and it is @ matter of com- ment how they came there, The body will be buried to-day. Hundreds of farmers from the surrounding country visited the house yesterday, Sm the greatest sorrow yailed at iis terribie death, He always had a there pistol i is bedroom, which is now miss- ing.
