PHILADELPHIA, November 20. Will
ham J. Florence, the actor, died at the
Continental Hotel, this city, at $3.50
O'Clock this evening. Death came as a
startling surprise to those in attend
ance upon the sick man, for the reas-
ON that his condition had been consid-
cred as improving during the after
noon and early evening. Only Mr..
Florence's sister-in-law, Mrs. Barney
Williams, Of Brooklyn; his sister, Mrs.
Norman Ward, of Washington, and
DIR. Patrick Donnellan, were with him
when he passed away. He had been,
apparently, getting better, and the
physicians had no idea that the end
was so near. DR.. Pancoast, who had
charge ofthe case, had left the hotel
aboutseven o'clock secure in the idea
that his patient was doing as well as
could be expected.
Mr.. Florence was very weak during
the day from exhaustion, and in the
afternoon was somewhat Eighty. To-
wards evening he slept most of the time,
however, and his death came so peace
fully that it may be said that he slept
away. He made no atterance what
ever, and the first intimation the
watchers had of his death was that he
had ceased to breathe.

THE PROPER CAPER.
THE u. S. GRAND JURY lSDICTS THE
OFFICERS or THE LOUISIANA
LOTTERY COMPANY.

Especial to TIM wonlD.l

CHARLESTON, w. VA. November 10.
The grand jury, which has been in
session in the United States District
Court here for the past two weeks, this
morning reported All Indictment against
Paul Conrad, president, and fourteen
others, directors and clerks of the Lou
isiana State Lottery Company, for the
violation Of the United States statute
concerning the use Of the mails for lot
teries. The plan alleged to have been
adopted by the Louisiana lottery ID
eyade the operations Of the law is an
ingenious one. For some time past, ii
rs charged, they have been sending
through the mails to various persons
throughout the State pamphlets pur-
porting to be the printed decision Of
the Supreme Court of Louisiana in a
recent case in which the rights Of the
lottery people were adjudicated to a
certain extent in the matter then in
controversy, and between the leaves Of
the pamphlets were, it is alleged, en-
velopes Of the Southern Express Com
pany, such as are used for the pur-
pose Of transmitting money. The en-
velopes, it is said, contained directions
how to send money, and were address
ed to the New Orleans National Bank,
the well-known depository and finan-
cial agent Of the Louisiana lottery. 1t
is claimed by the officials having the
matter in charge that the sending Of
these pamphlets has been done for the
purpose Of promoting the interests Of
the lottery, and consequently in viola
ton of law. For some time prior to
the converting Of the present term Of
court the data to form the basis of the
indictment had been quietly gathered
by United States District Attorney
George G. Sturgiss and his assistant,
S. c. Burdett, aided by the postoffice
authorities.

his boyhood days were spent on farm.
His early educational training was re-
ceived in the public schools Of Martins
burg, and he entered Lebanon Valley
College in 1882. During the course of
study at this institution he paid special
attention to Agricultural subjects, Civil
Engineering and Surveying. He also
devoted considerable time to Horticult-
ure, and upon his return home he sup
erintended the planting of an orchard
Of l5, 900 fruit trees. Soon after reach
ing home Mr.. Vanmetre was elected
County Surveyor, and filed the Office
very acceptably for six years. His nat
ural bent of mind is for scientific re-
searches, and during his term Of Office
he studied the Theological formation
of Berkeley county, and made large
collection of minerals and rocks In
1889 he was appointed Deputy Sheriff
for the District Of Martinsburg, an Of
fee which he holds at the present time.
He is an active and consistent republi-
can, and has been since he was old
enough to cast his first vote. Mr.. Van
metre is a comparatively young man,
and has bright future before him, as
he is held in the highest esteem and
confidence in the community. Only a
short time ago he was appointed as
the observer for the United States
Weather Bureau at this point, posi-
ton which he is well qualified to fill.

The Present vagrant Law Denounced BY
The Grand Jury.
Especial to THE womb

CARLISLE, November 19.-After a
session Of nearly two weeks and dur
ing which scores of witnesses were ex-
amined, the Grand Jury came into
court this afternoon and presented to
Judge Sadler supplemental report in
which the tramp farming system
which has fiourished here for twenty
years was denounced in the severest
terms, and suggestions were advanced
to abate the nuisance. One Of the RENE
dies offered in the report was to re-
dnce the Sheriff's compensation for
boarding them from cents to cents
per diem for each tramp committed,
and another theory advanced was to
have every tramp arrested and con-
victed under the tramp act which means
imprisonment for year.
Evidence was produced showing that
during the past fifteen years one tramp
and his wife had cost Cumberland
County "a, 900 in payment fortheir com
mitment to and boarding in the jail.
When it is taken into consideration that
in the past three years there were z, 800
commitments to the Carlisle Jail the
expense to the county is enormous.
