The Fat Bride.

Says a Baltimore paper of October j 26 ; — There was consternation at the i Dime Musuem m this city this morn- ( ing when it was announced that j Mrs David Moses", the fat bride, had died suddenly m bed at what is known as the " Freaks " boarding house, on Gay-street. She had not been m good health during the three weeks that she had been on exhibition m this city, and on two or three days she was not able to appear at the museum at all. Her husband was very kind and attentive to her, and she. had the best medical attention.. Her physician, Dr E. P. "ilODeTitt, says that the cause ot her death was fatty degeneration, of the ' heiit. She also was a sufferer from bronchitis. She seemed to suffer considerably at times, and remarked to people about the house that she did not expect to live much longer. Dr M'Devitt left her about 11 o'clock last night, and she then appeared m excellent spirits,and conversed cheerfully with several friends who had called to see her. Her husband said : — " I kissed her at 8 o'clock this morning, and then fell into a doze. Some one rapped upon my door at about 7 o'clock. I then arose, walked to the window, drew i tip the shade, and when I looked upon th 6 bed I saw that my wife was dead." Last night her husband told me he would telegraph to Detroit for her brother, John Gray. "No, no," •replied the wife, "wait till I am dead, and then you can send for him " ; and Moses telegraphed to Gray this morning announcing the death of his sister. Mr Hickman, undertaker, has taken charge of the remains for burial, and the interment will probably be made here tomorrow.. The weight of the body at the time of death was 517 pounds, and the dimensions of the coffin will be 6ft Sin long, Bft 6in wide, and 2ft m depth. Mrs Moses was under engagement at Hagar and Campbell's .Casino,; Philadelphia, to appear on Monday .next, and she was to be exhibited upon the fourth floor. Arrangements had been made to get .her 1 , there by means of a derrick, it . being impossible to accomplish it by ; any 'other means. She experienced •great difficulty m ascending the stairs of the second floor of the musuem m this city. The fat girl was bom m Detroit m November, 1866, and was consequently at the time of her death only 17 years of age. Her weight at birth was twenty-five pounds, and her mother's death oc- '. curred a few days after the event. -Her remarkable growth was noticeable m her early childhood, and •when only twelve years of age she weighed 250 pounds and was fiftysix inches m height. She never increased m stature sincethat time, but expanded to enormous proportions. She was first exhibited publicly at the Bowery hall where she was recently married. The manager of the Bowery hall also exhibited her at Coney Island, and the great throng who visited the beach took a lively interest m the monstrosity. The widespread publicity given to the marriage made her quite a celebrity, and she was profitably engaged by a New York showman to make a tour of the United States. Amid the dingy splendours of a Bowery museum a reporter found the quondam companions of the dead girl last night. The black-eyed Circassian who ' was her bridesmaid at the recent weeding, was m tears ; the bearded lady looked sad, and the leopard boy sat solemnly m his corner. "She vas goot to me, und I gry yen I hear, ahe vas dead," said the little German midget m the coat and brass buttons. The great chair m which Blanche used to exhibit was occupied by another lat woman, who stared .stolidly at the spectators. " She had .a heart as big as her body," said Arthur Cole, who was groomsman to Blanche's husband at the weeding. -« Everybody loved her," "Py 7<Shorge, vat a kooriosity !" said the ■ Hebrew proprietor of the museum, *' I vood gif a huntred and fifty tollara to have her body. It vood be a fortune. Ah, Blanche vas sooch a irice, goot girl ; I could do anyding . -yid her iill Moses married her.
