A MOST Notwithstanding tragedy &C.
eaFFed on The steamer Fair Play, about
O'Clock, last night In The killing Of
IF. A. Bachmnn, Q pedleT, about 90
years Of age, By William Gibson, 8
deek.sWeepeF on the boat. The homicide
t0Ok placs sher tho Fair Play had left
he landisg and reached Kings Point.
An EYEWITNESS informed us that Bach.
nan was sitting on the coal pile, In
front Of the fFe.box, leaning against
bis packs asleep, when Gibson ap.
preached him with an AZ, and without
aging o word dealt him three heavy
blows on the head with the edge OF
the instrument. Bachnan uttered q
groan, but being propped between HE
packs and . barrel on which our In.
formant was sitting, could not fsll over.
On learning Of the murder, Capt. Book.
out had the boat turned back for
town, placed a guard over Gibson,
and on arrival here, turned him
over 10 the police. Gibson says that
some time sgo the old man accused him
Of breaking open his pack or valise,
and they had some words about it.
Yesterday evening he met Bachman on
the levee and the latter told him he
was going up the river on the Fair
Play. Gibson very cody relates : al
told him II he got on the boat | would
kill him, and when l saw him sitting
down In front Of tho Gre-box, l went
Int the deck.room, got an Ak and did
kill him." The dead man presented a
horrible spectacle as be lay on the coal.
pile with the top Of his head literally
dug oul aud the brains oozing from the
ragged, CHASTITY wound. 1t sickened
the beholders. An inquest was held
and q verdict rendered In accordance
with the foregoing facts. Mr.. Bach
msn wal "a Odd Fellow, has relatives
here, bu; no family, aud was a quiet,
inohensiVe man. But little is known
Of Gibson, but he is q river man, and
has been on the Fair Play about three
weeks.

Things are out of place, you see. I'm house.
keeper and have not made bed for two
weeks.
Rep-Making bed, then, is one thing you
have not learned to do.
Tom-No; in the North people never 60 to
bed. The women take off their aprons, the
men their coats, and roll into their hunks.
Rep-Had you no society, then, all last
winter?
Tom-There were number of English
speaking people there, but found little COM
, panionship. There was "Old Sam" born in
an Eugllsn ooal mine. He worked there a
number of years, then left the black and
sought the yellow diggings of the West. He
had read with good judgment; thought much.
When he put forth an idea you felt it was
original to himself, which is one of the great
est charms of conversation. The heat of an
argument never acted upon his temper. l
saw little of him he would 60 up the river
and remain alone in the woods for weeks at
| q time.
A fortnight before leaving made the ac-
quaintance of McGinn, a man about thirty,
an employee Of the government. We were
continually together during the rest OF my
stay there He had had good advantages.
When at last you know him he is an agree
able associate. But could not make up my
mind whether nature made him so or not. l
am confident he owes much to an accident
he told me of. While staying in Winnipeg
he, together with number of young men,
hired pretty little cottage, and furnished it
handsomely. Here they lived. The had all
the later important publications which, they
discussed in regular debate with prepared ar
guments. Liquor was prohibited; loud talk
ing and vulgarity in the house were against
the rules, and they were obliged to be in slip
pers when they entered the library or sitting
room. They could not stand the expense,
and in time the club broke up. But its in
luence was fixed; you could notice it. After
speaking of this club one day, he said:
:.How wish could have lived in the days
of Holland House and blessed Lady Blessing
ton."
eyes, but if you had lived then you would
have been pioneer in America. If this is
your taste you have as good an opportunity
to crafty it in the present as you would have
had any time in the past"
Rep-Do you believe there is any place
where genius assemblies as in those days.
Ton-Not in the same manner. The Radi-
cal club of Boston is to the same end. Here
meet lhe best minds in Boston and visitors
from abroad. Here Phillips is heard, and
Emerson often talks. The equal of this
orator the peer of this man of letters, never
charmed the listener in either those halls in
London.
Rep-I wish you would give me notion
of this club.
Tom-They meet at the houses OF the
members. Well, the question this evening
is on the teaching of children. A dozen
opinbns have been expressed. A visiting
minider has said something about religion.

The heaviest amount in the way of inter-
