DEATH OF THE CHICAGO coAonMAN VINO
MARBiEs his WEALTHY MASTERS
DAUGHTER

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-The end OF a
romance in real life Lyndon is dead.
Lyndon, the gay and festive coach
man, who won immortal fame by
marrying his masters daughter; Lyn-
don, husband of the tickle Ella, and
son-in-law of the savage Hancock I;
Lyndon, who almost exchanged his
seat on the top Of grand family coach
for one inside, and his cot in the stable
loft for the crack bedchamber of n
palace Lyndon, the hero of the divoce
Courts and the sensation of the city
two years ago-Lyndon is dead. The
wealthy pork-packers daughter has
her divorce at last.
Something over two years ago the
community was startled by the an
nouncement that u candcstinc mar
riage had taken place between Lyn-
don, coachman in the employ of Col.
John Hancock, one of the wealthcst
provision dealers in the city, and the
young daughter of the last named i'm
portant parsonage. The affair created
a great deal of scandal and provoked
extensive comment The bride, Ella
Hancock, was something less than IS
years Of age and a very attractive per.
SON. Lyndon had no attractions what
ever. He was low-born, illiterate
Englishman. The marriage was secret
" celebrated, and the parties separated
Immediately afterwards, taking their
old respective places in the household
The parents did not hear of the event
for several days afterwards, and by
that time the young lady--thc bride
who was not yet wife-had gained
her senses sufficiently to be willing and
anxious to assist her parents in sever
ing the tic. Suit for divorce was at
once commenced, but decree was re-
fused. An appeal was taken to the
Supreme Court, which remanded the
case to the lower Court, where II still
remains undecided
About three months after the mar
riagc, Lyndon had the lady brought
into Court on writ of hdbcds corpus.
The judge then gave her a free choice
between joining her husband or re.
manning with her father. She at once
chose the latter course, and since that
time Lyndon has made no attempt TO
interfere with her.
Mr.. Truce, Lyndon's lawyer, lately
abandoned his client, owing &c his
gross dissipation. He found the coach
man some months ago at one OF the
police stations, under an assumed name,
filed with bad rum and covered with
filth. He gave him money TO pay his
fine, and "shook" the fellow, satisfied,
the lawyer says, that Lyndon's sole
motive Of late seemed TO be to black
mail his rich iathcrinlnw, and this

REV JOHN CHAMBERS, ID. d.

heV. John Chambers, ID. d., pastor
of the Chambers Presbyterian church,
Broad street, above Chestnut, Phila-
delphia, and one of the Oldest clergy
men in Philadelphia, died week before
last, after an illness of several weeks,
during the last few days of which he
had been gradually sinking.
DIR. Chambers was in the 18th year
of his age, haing been born in Steward
stown, ireland, Dec. 10, 1897, and came
to this country with his parents in
1898. At the age ofl3 he came from
Ohio, where his parents resided, to
Baltimore, where he was educated. At
IL years of age he joined the Associa-
ted Reform church of Baltimore, of
which the Rev. John Mason Duncan,
d. d., was pastor. In May, 1925, he
became pastor of the Associated Re-
formed church of Philadelphia, then
located on 18th street, above Market.
In 1881 the building on Broad street
was erected, and the congregation re-
moved to it. In May last, Dr. Cham
bers celebrated the 55th anniversary
Of his pastorate, when there were special
services held at the church and at Hor.
ticultural hall, continuing over several
days. In the course OF sermon he
preached at that time be stated that,
during the past fifty years, there had
been 1856, members admitted to the
church, and from 80 TO 40 young men
had entered the ministry. He had
married 1929 couples, and attended
between 1000 and 5000 funerals and
had preached, on an average, three
times week. In 1920 he was affected
with a bronchial trouble, and was sent
to Europe by his physicians. He re-
mained away fourteen months, and re-
turned perfectly cured.
Early in the year 1870 DR.. Cham
bers was stricken with paralysis, and
for long time il was thought he could
not recover, but his strong constitution
bore up, and after a tedious illness he
made another journey abroad, and re.
turned so far recovered as to resume
the duties of his pastorate He was u
very positive and energetic man by
nature, and was for many years one of
the most active and enthusiastic ad-
vocates of the Temperance cause in
the city. He was peculiarly successful
in winning the affection and confidence
of the young, and his congregation was
always largely composed of young
men and women, and the Bethany
Presbyterian church, ono of the most
fiourishing churches in the southwes-
tern portion of the city, was organ
lied as mission school by the young
men from DIR. Chambers congregation.
DR.. Chambers was distinguished
member of the Masonic order, and al
WAYS took great interest in its welfare.

ton and bringing disgrace upon that
spirit Of liberty which, II was asserted,
his emancipation would enlarge until
II embraced every ncc ot mankind.
OF emancipation In the British west
Indies, Allison, In his history oi .Sarope,
says;
"He"-Lord Broughman--"was the
incorporating foe, through lite, Of
West India slavery, and the generous
advocate Of the poor negroes right;
and yet by urging on the fatal step Of
immediate aud unpreparcd emancipa-
ton, he has proved his worst enemy,
and thrown back the sable inhabitants
Of the Antilles centuries in the path of
real and lasting Improvement"
What is undcniably true of Jamaica,
must prove equally true TO the United
States, because tho conditions are the
same. The slave owners there, as here,
were of the Anglo-Saxon race, and the
slaves in both cases are Africans. The
intelligence impaired in both countries
by the example and training of the
owners, was the only civilizing in
flucnce TO which their nature is capa-
bic of responding, and the withdrawal
Of which is necessarily followed by a
relapse into their normal condition.
This degeneracy will be more or less
rapid in proportion TO the relative
numbers of the races--more rapid in
Jamaica, because the whites are few
and the negroes overwhelmingly
numerous-slower here, because the
relations as to numbers Is reversed, and
the influences just mentioned will con.
tinue to be felt, though in con stantly
decreasing ratio; but the final result in
both countries must be the same, un-
less the negroes can be protected
against the pernicious examples and
precepts of the Radical party and left
to the guidance OF the Southern whites,
who, alone, appreciate their capacity
for improvement and understand the
appliances whereby their lapse into
barbarism may be postponed, if not
averted. The problem Of their future

supper he drew his razor out Of tho case,
and in response to his wife's inquiry if he
was going out, he snarled out Nav
Wv, he wasn't" Then she didn't think
to ask him what be was going to do. She
watched him whilc he barred his dexter
foot; then he laid his bare foot across his
left knee and made an "ofier" at it with
the razor, but stopped short. Then he
reached undor the foot with the razor and
came Up with it on the other side and re-
mained in that position a few moments
in deep thought. Then. he took the razor
in the other hand and bending forward
until all the blood in his system settled
just above his eyes and his head was
about six inches from the stove, he caught
hold of his little toe and made slash at
the corn on it with the razor. By this
time his head was so hot that the hair
fairly cracked so he straightened up and
moved to the other side of the room, and

900 lamps and he might be able TO have
one when he wanted to use it. His wife
took the lamp from the sewing table, and
put it on the floor beside him. Then he
reached his bare foot up as near to his hip
as he could and made dive at the corn
again. Then he tried holding his foot in
front Of him and leaning out after it, but
he could touch any part OF it, he said, ex-
cept the corn. Then he put his foot down
fiat on the floor and stopped down to it.,
and began carving. His wife and daugh-
ter could only tell how he progressed by
the sibilant sounds nc made in drawing
in his breath between his teeth. He did
this once or twice, then suddenly dropped

mark bearing on the subject Of future
