A Very Fortunate Lord.
tLondon TRUTH

Lord n northampton Is a vastly for
tunate parsonage. In 1879 his eld-
est son, the late Lord Compton, bor-
rowed 100000 from the National
Life Assurance Society on the secur-
ity of his reversionary interest in an
entailed estate, but If he died before
his father las happened(, Of course
the security was worthless. The
society proceeded to insure Lord
Compton's life for G34 900, the un-
derstanding being that 1t was to pay
the premiums and add them to the
amount of the loan, and the policy
was to be transferred to him If ever
he paid off the debt. He died three
years ago, by which time his debt to
the society had risen to El4, 900. The
society, therefore, congratulated it.

nearly 100000 on the transaction

ton, as executor of his deceased son, +,
demanded the balance of the G34,-

between the society and Lord Comp

the court of appeal. The result Is
highly satisfactory for Lord North

THE GIFT OF THE SEA.

Rudyard Kipling in New York Independent
The dead child lay in the shroud,
And the widow watched beside;
And her mother slept and the channel
swept
The gale in the teeth of the tide.
But the widow laughed at all.
II have lost my man in the sen,
And the child is dead. be still" she
said;
"What more can ye do to me?'
And the widow watched the dead,
And the candle guttered low;
And she tried TO sing the Passing Song
That bids the poor soul go.
And MARY take you now" she sang,
THAT lay against my heart"
And MARY smooth your crib to-night;"
But she could not say, depart"
Then came a cry from the sea,
But the storm lay thick on the glass.
And Heard ye nothing, motherT' she
said;
"'Tis the child that waits to pass"
And the nodding mother sighed:
"Tis q lambing yew In the whin;
For why should the christened soul cry
That never knew of sin?'
"oh feet have held in my handl
Oh, hands at my heart to catch
How can they know the road to go,
And how can they lit the latchT'
They laid a sheet to the door,
With the little quilt atop,
That IL might not hurt from the cold or
the dirt
But the crying would not stop.
The widow lifted the latch
And strained her eyes to see;
And opened the door on the bitter
shore
To let the soul 60 free.
There was neither glimmer nor ghost;
There was neither spirit nor spark.
And Heard ye nothing, mother?" she
"Tis crying for me in the dark"
And the nodding mother sighed:
''Tis sorrow makes ye dull;
Have yeyct To learn the cry Of the tern,
Or the wall of the wind-blown gull2"
"The terms are blown inland,
The gray gull follows the plow;
Twas never Il bird the voice heard;
Oh, mother, hearit now"
"Lie still. dear lamb, lie still;
The child Is safe from harm.
'Tis the ache In your breast that breaks
your rest,
And the feel of an empty arm.
She put her mother aside;
"ln Mary's name let bo!
For the peace of my soul i must 60"
she said;
And she went to the calling sea.
In the heel Of the wind-bit pier,
Where the twisted weed was piled
She came to the life she had missed by
an hour,
For she came to little child.
She laid II into her breast
And back to her mot her she came;
But it would not feed and II would not
heed,
Tho she gave 1t her own child's name.
And the dead child dripped on her
breast,
And her own In the shroud lay stark;
And God forgive us. Mother" she sid,

Sane and Also Vicious.
ACTION OF THE VARIOUS COURTS

The trial of Frank Grade for the killing
of mis- stepdaughter in March last was re-
sumed before Judge Magee Yesterday.
Herman Grade, brother of the defendant
testified to having visited his brothers
house the day prior to the killing, and
found his brother standing in the middle ot
the floor staring at something and would
not speak. The witness testified that Grade
and his wife did not get along well together.
John Steinmender was partner of the de-
fendant seven years, and noticed signs of
failing mind as long ago as last February.
Squire William Buff, ofthe Eleventh ward,
Allegheny, saws defendant looked wild the
morning before the killing. Louis Wetzel, Al
bert Grade and Henry Phaul testified that
they had never known the defendant to treat
the dead child different from the other chill
dren. John Phillips testified as to the charac-
ter.of the prisoner, (which closed the testimony
for the defense.
The prosecution opened with DR.. s. s. Mard-
bum, the Allegheny City physician, on the
and says he was sharp enough to keep his
mouth shut. He did not think Grade had the
first symptom of insanity. A number of the
prisoners old neighbors testified that they had
never noticed any insane actions.
Mrs. Kate Lintner testified that she lived in
the same house with the defendant for several
months. and knew Grade to strike his wife
FREQUENTLY The dead child cried at this and
Grade did not like the little one She further
said that the prisoner threatened to kill her
whole family.
This closed the testimony. District Attorney
johnson offered the court record of the trial of
Grade for insanity in July last. when he was
declared sane but the Court ruled it out. The
arguments to the jury will be made to-day.

William w. Scott Appeals From the Pro.
bate of n Letter.
William w. Scott yesterday filed an appeal
from the probate of the will of his father. the
late John Scott President of the ALLEGHENY
Valley Railroad. Mr.. Scott died March "a
1889, leaving a wife and ten children. His will
was dated March l6, 1889, and divided his estate
among his children, some getting more than
others. John F. Scott and William Stewart
were the executors of the will.
William scott in his appeal alleges that the
document probated was not the last will and
testament of his father. He asks that the pro
bate be set aside and that the letters issued tn
the executors be revoked.
The document probated was letter written
to John Dalzell, Esq, by Mr.. Scott, Containing
directions for the disposal of his property to be
embodied IN will to be prepared for Mr.
SCOTS signature. Before the will could be
made in due form Mr.. Scott died and the let
ter, which was signed by him. was presented as
a testamentary document for probate. Its
standing as such is the point at issue raised by
the appeal.

Prior TO MIR. Chambers'.

Inc MasteF Says the company buo q hiGnt
Prior to MIR. Chambers'.
Thomas Herriort, Esq, yesterday fled his re-
port as master in the case of James A. Chambers
against the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad COM
pany operating the Pittsburg and Connells-
vile Railroad. The suit is a dispute over a
'Y'' track on Chambers property at McKees-
port In 1869 Michaels, RoehIirg & Co. con-
structed glass factory at that point and at
their request the railroad built the "Y." By
agreement 1t was to be used Jointly between
the parties. Michaels. Roehling & Co. event
ually failed, and in course of time Chambers
became the owner of the property In the
meantime the ''Y'' was used considerably the
railroad company turning their engines and
trains by means Of il. Last March Chambers
notified the company to remove the track from
his property. They neglected to do so and he
tore it up. The company started to relay it
and Chambers filed bill in court asking for an
injunction. The railroad filed cross bill and
the case was referred to a master.
The master in his report holds that it is now
too late for Chambers TO disavow the agreement
after taking advantage for so many years of its
provisions beneftIng him. and further, the
railroad could have condemned the property
and paid the damages assessed to the original
owner, the property being necessary to them
for the operation of their road. In conclusion
he recommended the dismissal of Chambers
bill.
