LOCAL MATTERS.

A NIRGINIAN CHARGED WITH MURDER
The English papers publish full accounts
OF the killing Ct Annie Harcourt aud the
arrest OF Mr.. Robert Hume and his exam
ination on the charge OF having committed
the deed. Mr.. Hume is well known in
Richmond. He has been an extensive dealer
in cattle, an annual exhibitor at the State
fairs, and a resident of Albemaile county.
He is described iD the English papers as be-
ing "of eeniIemanly Appearance, with a
long light mousache." 1t was brought out
in evidence at the examination that lady
had been shot with revolver at s South
Bank. She was in the first floor bedroom
lying on the floor, apparently dead, by
the side OF bedsead, with the head to-
wards the window. Witness at once
went for DR.. Brisbane, OF Park road,
who shortly arrived. The prisoner was
sitting on a chair close 10 the. window with
a constable Edwards, 15j D) IN the room.
Witness found the revolver, loaded, Just
under the bed by the side of the deceased.
The handle of the pistol when he found it
was pointed towards the prisoner. In wit
nes>'s presence the prisoner said "She did
it herself. She was 'iooling with the pis-
toI and shot herself. The pistol Is
mine" Witness scar ched him. and on
his left shirt-wristband found marks
of blood. He said 10 the prisoner
&" You see these marks here: they are blood
marks" The accused said "Yes." Wit
ness searched Tor bullet in the room, but
did not find one. He then TOOK The prisoner
TO MolyneuX-Street pOlIce-statiOn. Witness
bad since Oeen 10 guDsmith's about the
pistol, which was a five barrelled one, and
the gunsmth said it was an American one.
One Of the barrels was fired oil, the other
four being loaded.
The above was about the substance Of the
testimony.
The account adds:
''Mr. Lewis [Mr. Ilume's COUNSEL said
that this was not the proper time for him 10
make any statement on the prisoners be-
half. But he should say that inasmuch as
the prisoner was very respectfully connect
ed. and with the view OF allaying the anXI
city which would be felt by the prisoners
friends when they saw the report OF the
case in the papers, the prisoner repeat
ed the statements be had made as TO
the way IN which the occurrence had
hqppened. Although the accused was
Scotch by birth, he had lived for some years
in Virginia, in the southern states OF
America, where all the people were habit
ualiy accustomed TO carry arms, and, ulr-
fortunately, he did not break of the habit
on coming TO this country. Mr.. Cooke said
the prisoner would be remanded fora week
Mir. Lewis inquired If it would be useless
for him to apply for bail. Mr.. Cooke SAID
he could not grant bail"
Mr.. Hume left Virginia for Europe in
November last.

MAKING USE OF MONEY NOT HIS OWN
WHAT THE DISSOLUTION OF THE FIRM OF IsELIN
BARKER DROUGHT TO OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
THAT HAVE BEEN GOING on FOR A LONG TIME
Some excitement was created among the members
of the Stock Exchange yesterday by report
that firm of brokers in financial
difficulty through the Irregularities of its
senior member The firm referred to was
Isclin & Barker, of No. SO Broadway. 1t
was authortatiyey stated that Francis T. Ise-
lin, the senior member of the firm, had
been Leading disspated life for long time, and
had not only spent his fortune, hut had misap-
propriated and negotiated some OF the securities
held in trust by the firm. These Irregularities had
been going on for the last three years. MI lsehn
was not member Of the Stock Exchange. lie took
charge of the books and this enabled him to appro-
pirate the funds to his own account without lDuch
fear of discovery.
II is believed that these Irregularities might
have continued for some time longer, had it
not been for the fact that Fordyce d. Barker the
junior member of the firm, purposed to 90 to Europe,
and suggested dissolution of the partnership MI.
ISclm urged Mr. Barker to reconsider his deter1nl-
nation, hut the latter insisted that II was necessary,
and that the books must be examined by an ac-
cOuntant. An examination proved that lITegularl-
ties existed. Since that time the firm has been
dissolved, and Mr. Barker is now hquldating It's
affairs.
Al the Union Club it was stated last night that
Mr. I>clin had recently resigned aud that he had not
visited there for more than week.

MORALS OF IMPOSTURE.
OF The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The tribune
SIR: Are we not too ready to give or lend
our money and so 10 encourage imposture The recent
case OF the man Randall with various other names sug
eests thia inquiry 1t Is evident that under various
names and with various pretences he has been preyng
upop the people months, very impartaly 1t must be
owned 1t reminds one Of chldreDs rhymes they
count their buttons: Erich poor man, beggar man.
thief Lawyer doctor Indian chief" He seems to have
been all but the last and probably though his career
may be now nearly at end, thanks 70 the papers
he must have made good thing OF 1t
We need more caution few years case OF small
swindling was unveiled In this wise: young man
when detected in these practices made his confession
He was from distant rural village and OF respect
able family Finding field small, he took leave OF
his friends with some flourish OF trumpets to seek sue
oess II not fame In York. Arriving here he found
1t much more difficult than he supposed 10 get any EN-
poyment at ALL and Is the with many another
he went down. down He left his hotel took room and
then garrett sold his clothes, aud still waited. Finally.
IN desperation. ashamed 10 20 back 10 hs own ntr ~
much Boosting he went 10 "A man whom he knew nt
through OF his family and gained loan "i -
on pretencc OF having lost his purse such story
He was not vicious, he did not gamble he made ms
money long he could aud still looked for work
In desperation ne went TO another gentleman aud got
$40 from another So, and still hoped on and Etll-
failed as many another does, and goes ruin : he
caught. and made this sad confession, dud was
punished "And the moral OF this is, AZ the Duchess
says in Alices Adventures, that young men coming
alone to the much likely to fail than To
coed" And that men and women should not n money
upon the bare word Of any man woman Who tells
plausible story There thousands Worrr tnn wasted
