ST. LOUIS LATEST SENSATION.

The Principal Actors in the Bowman
Chambers Tragedy.
Frank J. Bowman, who was shot recently in
Missouri by B. NJ Chambers, was in his 50th
year. He was born in Barnard, Windsor county,
Vt, of poor parents. After getting linn
tied education he entered law Office at
Woonsocket. When the civil war broke out
he was 81 years old. He enlisted as private
and came out major. When the war ended
he went to st. Louis and practiced law till
1877, when he was disbarred for irregular

guilty of ordinary sexual immortality like his
brothers, the English people might have for

sixth son Of George III, managed to maintain
a happy obscurity. The last two had legiti-

have often found believers, and that Prince
Victor is very unpromising heir apparent.
One set of correspondents announce with con-
fidence that the Prince of Wales has Brights
disease, and cannot possibly live year;
another set say it is something else, and that
he will recover He is As years old, and the
father of two sons and three daughters. Four
other children of the queen are parents. so
the royal line seems secure for some time.
