visit to America in 1876, when he re-
ceived much attention, as before.
His first work was volume Of poems

and his second the "Proverbial Philoso-

more poems. but he was destined not to
catch the popular fancy but once.
Mr.. Tupper was born in London in

MARTIN FARQUHAR TUPPER.
The Author of "Proverbisl Philosophy"
Who Died Recently.

The Author OF "PrOverbial Philosophy"
Who Died Recently.
Martin Farquhar Tupper, who died re-
Gently in England, lived TO discover that,
after all, he had only caught the public
attention for the hour. Fifty years ago
he was in love with his cousin, who be-
came his wife, and it occurred 10 him TO
write out his notions on matrimony. 1t
occurred 10 him to put them in the form
of Solomon's proverbs. He extended
them to include love, friendship and ed
ucation. When published they COM
mended themselves to the people of that
day. and Tupper suddenly found himself
famous. n. 2. Willis, who then edited
The Home Journal, got hold of copy
and supposed the work was something
antique. He quoted it frequently in his
journal, and this largely contributed to
Tupper's reputation in America.
While Tupper wrote nothing else that
became widely known, his "Proverbial

Why He Killed Himself.

R. H. Payne, the young business man
of St. Louis who shot and killed himself
in a hotel in Jersey City October 10, was
supposed to be worth 100000 and he was ad-
ministrator of the Payne estate, valued at
5000. The heirs of this estate are five minor
children, cousins of the administrator. 1t was
discovered soon after his death that Mr. Payne
had lost his own property in speculation and
was heavily indebted to various local banks
Thursday the discovery was made that the en-
tire estate of the minor children had been
wrecked and wiped out. Payne, by a series of
forgeries and Misrepresentation, had quietly
secured possession of nearly $4,000 worth Of
real estate belonging to the heirs and sold it,
The remainder of the estate, consisting Of Sc
curities, was lost with the rest. Payne lost
S40, 900 in an opera glass venture.

A LIFELONG RAILROAD PASS.
An Interesting Question in Railroad
Law Argued in Maryland.

Westminster, Md, dispatch to the Balti-
more American gives an account Of case of
great interest on trial in the circuit court for
Carroll county. 1t is an action OH covenant
and for damages by Mr.. Edward Lynch of
Westminster against the Western Maryland
railroad. In June. 1871, the railroad company
contracted in writing to give to Mr.. Lynch, his
heirs and assigns, a free pass forever on all
trains of the said company, the consideration
for which grant was a water right and privi-
lege to enter upon the lands OF Mr.. Lynch, ad-
joining this city, for the purpose of maintain
ing the same. Upon this pass Mr. Lynch has
claimed and, until March, 1888, exercised the
right to travel, not only on trains running on
the main line OF the Western Maryland railroad
company but on the trains ON all roads
operated by the company. In March, 1883, a
conductor in the employ of the company, on
the Baltimore and Cumberland Valley railroad,
elected Mr.. Lynch from his train, and he
brought the suit now pending to enforce the
contract and recover damages for injury and
wrong claimed to have been done him by the
refusal OF the company to pass him on trains
other than those running OH the main line be-
tween Baltimore and Williamsport, Md. The
company resists the suit upon the theory that
the contract extends only to the main line
The language OF the contract ia peculiar in
specifying 1.-The trains of the company" in
stead Of the railroad itself-a very nice distinc-
ton.

John o. Ball, vino was brought here Sunday
evening and put in Jail for the killing of Lewis
Robinson, colored, at Branchville. Prince
Georges county, on the morning Of that day,
being interviewed yesterday by your corre-
spondent, gave the following account of the
homicide:
"On Sunday morning about one hour
before day 1 was awakened by knock
ing at my door. Surprising Robinson
was cold 1 let him in. On enter
ing he said, Where is your rif1er OH said I,
1T is around here somewhere then took
seat on my bed. Asking again for my rifle and
receiving no reply he blew out the lamp and
searched around the room III quest of the
weapon until he came near the table where
had LETT an old bowie knife used for splitting
kindling wood. Taking this he went out and
after whetting it Oh stone he passed around
the house once or twice and again approached
the door. Thinking his intentions were by no
means friendly told him to leave me, but in
stead he came nearer the door, brandishing his
knife. then grabbed up an old Colts revolt
yer lying near and said, If you move another
step will shoot you as sure as there's God in
heaven BY this time he was within feet of me,
and believing my life in danger hastily fired
the revolver. Quickly placing both hands over
badly injured / called my nearest neighbor.
Mr.. Mcdonald, and asked him to go for Mr..
Pinkney A. Scaggs. The former returned,
saying MIR. Scaggs was not yet up. Shortly
after he went a second time, returning with
Mr.. Scaggs. but by this time the man was dead,
having lived about half an hour after the shoot
ing without speaking. We then went before
Justice Whelan and was sent here. Had al
lowed Robinson to enter my door after securing
the knife l am sure he would have killed me-
He tried to break into my house two weeks be-
fore, wishing to get possession OF the house
and caring little how he disposed of me. His
idea in walking around the house was only to
see il any one was near to witness the deed"
The prisoner, a native of this county, is sew
enty five years old, is a pensioner of the Mexi-
can war and was severely wounded at Vera
Cruz. He is tall, but much bent with age and
is unable to walk without crutches. owing to a
railroad accident two years ago in which his
left leg was injured. Robinson alias Smith
alias Thomas alias Jones bore bad reputa-
ton, being well known to the sheriff and jail
ers Of this county and to the police officials OF
Washington. Public sentiment is entirely with
the prisoner and an effort will be made to Sc
cure bail.

One Baltimore Butcher Throws An.
other Into Vat of Boiling Water.

Henry Brunier and John Fisher, employees at
John Weitzels butchery establishment in Bal
timore got into quarrel over trifling matter
yesterday, and later began to fight. They
clinched and threw each other around the
slaughter house, to the amusement Of the
other employees, for some time. Fisher, who
was older and stronger than Brunier, had the
advantage all the time. but the latter stuck to
him and the two fought like bull dogs.
Fisher managed to get the boy near a vat of
boiling water which is used to take bristles off
of hogs and pushed him in. The boys body
from his neck to his knees was scalded in a
most horrible manner. The lads cries
brought the other workbench to the vat and he
was soon pulled out and doctor summoned
He was sent to the Maryland university hospi-
tai and suffered intense agony until he died
Both men had been friends up to the time of
the fight, and lived at MIR. Weitzers. Fisher

Sketches Of Some of the Leading Dele
gates-Distinguishe Men from South
and Central America Engaged in
the Conference.-The Representa-.
tives of the United States
In the Gathering.

Shaped like q Greek cross is the table, or
the combination Of tables, at which sit the
delegates to the international American con-
ference, now in session at the Wallach house in
this city. Viewed from an outer room the scene
during one of the meetings is decidedly inter-
esting. Each delegate has in front of him the
stationery which lie is supposed to need, and
a result the crimson-hued cloth is Uttered
with inkstands, pens, pencils, erasers, rubber
bands, payer knives and such like bric-a-brac.
At the extreme northern end of the cross, and
separated from it by narrow aisle, is the table
behind which the president of the conference
or the president pro TEN. sits. Like all the
other articles of furniture in the conference
room this is of oak and it is laden with station
cry Of the same character as that spread
before the delegates. A call bell
and an ivory-headed gavel mark the
difference, however, and give the table an
air of authority. This air of authority is more
marked when Secretary Blaine presides, for,
while he is courteous and suave. he is also
president. In spite of tine fact that windows
are numerous but small quantity of daylight
enters the suite of rooms which the conference
regards exclusively its Owu SO the gas Is lit
in two or three of the crystal chandeliers and
the reflections and re-refections from huge
mirrors impsrt brilliancy of appearance to a

resentative men. Below will be found bio

the public Of London with a gratuitous enter
tainment of the most diverting nature. At her
open window in Buckingham Palace gate is q
wonderful green parrot, which attracts hundreds
of people every day to hear him talk. The
crowd one Sunday was 90 great that
the policeman had to request the peo-
pie to move on. "Move on" echoed the
parrot, to the intense delight of the mob.
Polly, what is o'clock" asked man. The
parrot, pretending to look at the clock, cried
out in answer, "Half-past ." and he was right.
How old are You, Polly?" Don't know; how
old are your" was the answer, which, Ut course,
provoked great merriment, in which the par
rot joined. Asked what day of the week ii
was, the wretch hoped about screaming,
