SIR CHARLES KoRRRIGHr.-

Din OhAlAG1o AO1SA0 A004s
A cable despatch from London announc-
es the death of Sir Charles Edward

Philadelphia. He was born at Mount
Pleasant, in the island of st. CrOix, Febru-
airy 20, 1918, educated at the University
of Copenhagen, Denmark, and entered the
British Consular service at Carthagena,
New Grenada, in 1874. He was also for
several years acting Consul for France at
O%arthagena. In 1867 he was transferred
to Philadelphia, his district embracing the
States Of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois and Michigan. He retained this
post till his retirement on a pension, in
1873, when he settled in England. During
his official residence in Philadelphia he
married, in 1862, Miss Martha Ellen
Richardson, for many years president of
the Bank of North America. I'm August,

ORANGE CRY, April 25.-The justice, after
several days examination of witnesses in the
case OF the State W. A. w. Lester, charged
with the murder OF his wife on the 18th day
OF February last, discharged the defendant
on the ground that In his opinion there was
not sufficient evidence 10 show that the 0e.
PENDANT committed the crime. The justice
found that Mrs Lestcr's neck was broken,
and tina; ii was done by violence, but that the
evidence was not suilicitn nj tn connect the
husband herewith.
The death OF Mrs. Lester IL shrouded IN
mystery. On the 18th OF February last she
was found lying on the floor Of her house
dead, and the post mortem examination dis
closed the fact that her neck was broken by
violence, and hat Lestcs was the only person
about the house at the time. There were
three red streaks found Oh the side Of her
neck, while all Of her vital organs were In q
healthy condition.
There seems 10 be a diversity Of opinion az
to who is the GU lty party. The decision OF
the justice Was a great surprise To many Of the
citiz,ns of Sioux county, and especially those
interested IN tie prosecution.

most prominent men, and named as those

4 Question of Time.

Another story about land speculation in the west is worthy of relating. It happened that land scheme was organized at Los Angeles, and many San Francisco people entered heartily into the enterprise. Among the subscribers was a travelling salesman, whose business chanced to take him to the town in which he had purchased his lot De- string to experience the novel sensation of a landlord, he determined to survey his prop erty. The plans were got out, and to his horror he found that the lot he had purchased was situated one hundred yards from the shore, and that the Pacific ocean was at present in full possession of his claim. This was too much to be borne. He went back to San Francisco and sought the agent who had so badly tricked him. That official received him with bland urbanIty and listened to his explanation with an amused smile "My dear boy" said the agent, after be had finished the recital of his wrongs your land is all right. At present, it is true, the ocean covers your very desira- ble lot; but consider, sir, the Pacific ocean is receding from the coast at the rate of two inches a year, and in about 500 years your property will be the finest in the state. Good morning" The agent is living yet.-Phila- dclDhia Times
