Tom 0chiItree.

FROM the Modern Age.
Prominent among notables at Wash
ington may be mentioned Colonel Tom
Ochiltree, member of Congress from
Texas. No man has ever "said' more
more, to say nothing of having 'done"
Europe, Asia and Africa with America
thrown in several times. No one has
sever caught so many fishes, ever killed
so many reindeer, ever trapped so many
beaverw He has probably swan the
Hellespont oftener than Leander him
self, and with better success, since
he lives to tell the story. BY some happy
arrangement of the stars he is ION the
spot" at the precise moment that every
event of importance takes place. He Is
probably the only man living who has
declined an invitation to dine with the
Prince of Wales upon the plea Of
"previous engagement" He oonfesses
to be a ''little disappointed" as well as
the Prince; but, III faut soufirir pour
etre BELLE" says the French proverb; and
to be distinguished also demands sac
rifices. 1t was more distinguished to
decline, so he accepted the sacrifice and
declined the invitation. On intimate
terms with all the crowned heads Of
Europe, during his recent sojOurn in
Paris he was "hand and glove" with the
high officials. and consorted chiefly with
the nobility within sthe sacred precincts
of the Faubourg Saint German. His in
tercourse with august personages Is
marked with but one unhappy faux pas.
1t is reported that during recent visit
to Queen Victoria, persisting in singing
John Browns Body"-in spite Of the
frantic pantomime of the American
Minister-the interview broke up In
panic. Naturally the idea of "John
Browns body" (her John Brown's) "a
Wondering in the grave" was harrow
ing! 1t was case of mistaken iden-
tity, but the effects were fatal; his star
in that quarter has set. In the last cam
paign he nominated himself for Con-
gresham, ran, and "got thar" 1t is ac-
oording to the eternal fitness Of things
that he represents a Texas district.
| There Is vastness, an expansiveness, a
longitude and latitude, as 1t were, about
him, peculiarly fitted to represent that
! great State.

SYkES' SUCCESSOR.
Another Woman Killer Cleared by New Orleans
Jury History OF His Crime.

Another Woman Killer Cleared by a New Orleans
Jury History OF His Crime.
From the Houston Post.
New ORLEANS, February ls.-Another
woman killer was acquitted in the Grim
inal court here this morning. On the
morning of October 3, 1888. at house of
ill-fame, Police Officer Edward Ryan.
the paramour of Kittie Conlon. one of
the inmates of the bagnio, shot her in
the side, from which wound the unfortu-
nate girl died the same day. Ryan
claimed that the shooting was accidental,
but the dying girl stated plainly and en-
phatically that Ryan had killed her out
of jealousy. The grand jury took the
same view of the matter, and on October
30, 1883, presented an Indictment against
the accused for murder. The only evil
dence for the State was the dying state
ment of the woman, made to Judge
Thomas Ford, that she was deliberately
shot by Ryan, the defense claiming the
shooting to have been accidental. Judge
Ford was placed on the stand and testi-
fled that he asked her If she was going to
die and she replied that she was not.
Harris, supposed to have been Ryan's
rival, who was near the woman. told her
to say yes, as saying so would not make
her die. She then said yes and made her
statement.
The defense objected to the introduce
ton of the dying statement, on the
ground that the woman was not con-
scious of approaching death when she
made IT. Judge Baker sustained the OBJ
lection. The statement being excluded.
the state abandoned the case, and ver-
dict of not guilty was returned.
