Death Of Hon. Thomas &. Pratt.

At his residence, in Baltimore, at twenty
five minutes before o'clock, on Tuesday
last, died Hon. Thomas G. Pratt, gentle
man who in past years had filled many pub
lie positions of Importance. He was born
in the city of Washington in the year
New Jersey. He studied law aud passed
the Bar under the tutorship of the late
Richard S. Coke an eminent member of
the District Bar. About the year 1898 he
county, Maryland, establishing himself at
the town of Upper Marlborough, and shortly
afterwards he was elected to represent the
county in the lower branch of the Mary
land Legislature, subsequently serving in
both the State Senate and House of Dele
gates. The next political position held by
him was that Of Governor of Maryland, to
which he was elected in 1914, and retired
from in 1S4S. In 1851 Hon. Reverdy John
son was called from the Senatorial Cham
Der at Washington to position as Attorney
General in President Taylors Cabinet, and
Ex-Governor Pratt was elected to the uneX-
pired term of two, and by the same Legis-
lature to the succeeding full term of six
years, which he served out He also was
several times member of the State Coun-
Gil, an advisory organization of assistants
to the Governor, which was abolished by
the Constitution of 1851. The Senatorship
was the last official position held by ex-
Governor Pratt, although he was one of
the candidates for the same position in
1867, but fell behind both Swami and Ham
iltop in the contest. Prior to the days of
the Know Nothing party Ex-Governor Pratt
had always been a member of the Wing
party, and it was at it's hands that he re-
ceived all his honors. At the outbreak of
the late war he strongly espoused the cause
of the South and in 1861 was arrested by
order Of the Government and sent to For
tress Monroe, where, however, he remained
but 4 few weeks, and then returned to Bal
timore. Ex-Governor Pratt was married
early in life, and his wife is still living, to-
gether with several sons and daughters, all
of whom have grown up. One of his
daughters is the wife of Hon. Daniel Clark,
State Senator from Prince Georges county.
The funersl of the deceased took place
on Wednesday afternoon, at St. Anne's p.
f. Church, Annapolis.

Gold is not the only commodity which
spectators can "corner." Tie people of
Pittsburg are just now excited over a gisan-
tic operation in oil, said to be organizing in
that city More than million of dollars,
it is alleged, have been already put into the
pool, and another million will be forthcom-
ing if necessary. The contractors for the
delivery of oil at low prices are of course
greatly alarmed, and denounce their oppo-
nents in no measured terms The chances,
however, are that the "corner" will fail.
and those engaged in it lose heavily.

burned to death or drowned. She was
only about two hundred yards from shore;

There was but one small boat, and the con-
