An Eccentric Mans Death.

READING, Pa. Aug. 3-Thomas Penrane, aged
a rich and eccentric bachelor, died
near Blandon, Berks county, to day, refusing all
medicine to the last moment of his existence. and
thus carrying out his lifelong determination
never to take any drug or medicine. He was
often slightly unwell, but no one could induce
him tie be doctored. He died on the farm upon
which he was born, never having lived anywhere
else. He never left the place, but was thorough
ly well read on the leading current events of The
day. His bed room windows were wide open all
the year round, and he slept in the icy air of
winter without harm.
Another of his eccentric ideas was to perform
his morning toilet at a pump some distance from
the house, Every morning, no matter though
the mercury were below zero, he went bare
footed to the pump and thoroughly washed his
face. neck, hair, hands and feet. Like Hannibal
Hamlin, he never wore an overcoat, and clothed
himself about the same way all the year round.
Penrane was a careful manager of mis- large
estate, and accumulated considerable property.
He was confined to bed but a few days. Among
his last words were that people should not be
afraid of fresh air and cold water, and keep
their hands off drugs. His nephews share his
estate,

Grants Silence Under Criticism.

Interview with Bishop Merrill.
There was another quality about Grant which
the people knew less about. He never com
planned, even to his family. In 1860 almost
the close of the war l was Mrs. Grants pastor,
and General Grants letters to her were read to
me, Or placed in my hands az though / had been
member of the family. l do not remember in
all of these letters a single sentence that was in
the nature of n complaint or unjust criticism.
He wrote with great frankness to Mrs. Grant,
telling her of what he was doing. speaking oe his
plans, and in case they should fail. of other plans
that he contemplated. But the most remarkable
thing to me then, and it is more remarkable in
the light of what came after, was General
Grants silence under criticism.
"He often explained why this plan or that had
failed; he often expressed his disappointment
and his regret that this officer or that had failed
to come up to his expectations in carrying ont
certain plans, but he never spoke OF the unjust
criticisms of himself or of the abuse that was
leaped upon him by the so-called war critics Of
the time. In these letters could be traced the
inner workings of the process of development of
the greatest military genius of the age. When
the country was quarreling over what Grant had
intended to do, and speaking of some accom-
plished result being merely in the line of acct
dent, Mrs. Grants letters told the whole story of
the plan and contamination"

A Murder Brought to Light.

Special 20 the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Aug. 3.-Elmer William
son, residing near Casey, H., came to this city
last February with produce. He suddenly
disappeared, and no trace of him
could be found. Finally his
body was found floating in the Wabash. Foul
play was suspected at the time, but no evidence
could be obtained. Warrants were to-
day issued for the arrest Of sew
eral members of a family named Phipps,
residing near Casey. for the murder of William
son. They resided in St Clair flats, this city.
The victim got into their apartments, was
drugged and robbed, the body concealed
in the cellar, and finally thrown in a sewer.
Warrants were issued on the statements of one
of Phipps's daughters, who made a confession
on account OF jealousy of a sister.

Mr.. Hendricks IncOnsistency.
Boston Advertiser.

DOobOn ' tIbOis
There is a flaw in Mr.. Hendricks title to the
rank of head Bourbon in the Democratic party.
He appears to have forgotten something's feat
which the typical Bourbon is proverbially said
to be unable to perform. Singularly enough,
Mr.. Hendricks seems to have forgotten the SEN
timents Of his own letter of acceptance in 1876,
when he ran for Vicepresident on the ticket
with Mr.. Tilden. In that epistle the present
patron saint of the spoilsmen said:
'In the reform of our civil service ! most
heartily indorse that section of the platform
which declares that the civil service ought not to
be subject to change at every election, and that
it ought not to be made the brief reward of
party ZEAL but ought to award for proved
competency and held for fidelity in the public
employ / hope never again to see the cruel and
remorseless prescription for political opinions
which has disgraced the administration of the
last eight years"

it doesn't accomplish much-to make the civil
service subject to change at every election"
and 70 bestow the Offices ''as the brief reward of

A Bigamist Dies in the Penitentiary.

COLUMBUS. O., Aug. 3-Charles Edward
Neville, sent up from Toledo, Dec. 4, 1884, to
tertiary yesterday of intermittent fever. after an
illness of three weeks. 1t will be bered
that he was employed by G. j. Whitney,
of Detroit, as coachman. and ran away
with his daughter to Toledo, where he
was arrested. The affair created quite a sensa-
ton at the time. During the trial it was
brought out that Neville had married and
deceived fourteen women in different parts of
country. Neville claimed that Ills wife resides
at Petersbofo, Ontario. He also claimed to have
quite a history. According to his story, his
father was an Englshman, aud his mother a
Russian countess. He served a while in. the
Russian army, and also in the British army be-
fore coming to America. where he had a wander
ing career. Neville told Warden Peetrey a few
days before his death that his real name was
Censivieski, and still chung to the claim that he
was a count. He also denied the charges al
luded to OF having married more than one
w~oman-the one residing in Ontario.
