Scarcely more than two weeks ago his homo was thrown open for tho reception of friends In honor of two visitors, and tho guests woro so handsomely entertalnod as to mark tho ovenlng as a memornblo social alTair. That week ho caught a cold, which developed into typhoid fever. Tho dlseaso ran its fatal courso so rnpidly that fnondsscarcoly realized tho pationt's danger, and the news of his death comes with a doublo shock. Mr. Pitcher was a bright, progressiva business man, a member of ono of tho most important firms in the city, and his death Is a distinct loss to the commercial circles of Lincoln. Person ally tho deceased was kind of manner, genial in temperament, and tho esteem which ho In spired among friends was akin to affection. Ho was ono of tho most popular men In tho city, and will bo greatly missed in social cir cles. His death will causo genuine sorrow In a very large circle, and tho slncerost sympa thy goes out to tho bereaved family. Tho deceased was not quite twenty-eight years of ago, and, with tho brightest of pros pects for a long and useful mid prosperous lifo, ho was of a verity cut down In tho Ilower of his youtli. At olght o'clock yesterday morning ho becamo conscious of his condition and asked to boo Mr. W. E. Hardy, Mr, L. G. M. Baldwin, with whom he was Interested In real estate transactions, and Rev. Dr. Curtis. Theso gentlemen camo separately aud ho recognized and conversed with them. Au hour before his death ho asked to bo burled at his old homo, Owcgo, N. Y. Tho death bed was surrounded by Mrs. Pitcher, Mr. T. P. Kennnrd, Mr. and Mrs, A. E. Konnard and Mr. and Mrs J. E. Rlggs. A sister of tho deceased, Miss Mary Pitcher, was at St. Joo and arrived in tho city last ovenlng. His parents llvo at Owcgo, N. Y. The Elks had a meeting last night to-take suitablo action. Tho untimely death of Mr. Pitcher was the universal themo on the streets yesterday, and it rarely happens that so doep and general a sadness Is expressed. Croquet Sets at a llarsaln.
