came connected with Robert Fulton, so
well known in connection with the history
OF steam navigation. Ia 1870 he also intro
duced panoranas into France, while Barker
exhibited his London pictures in Holland
and the great German cities. Everywhere
he was well received by the public, but the
press was not so unanimously in his favor.
Thus Hamburg paper said: ''The view Of
the port OF Hamburg, with its innumerable
ships, seen from the top Of the Baumhaus
on bright day, is infinitely more striking
than the panoramas OF Barker"
Robert Fulton sold the patent be had OBJ
tanned in Fraince TO NJ. Tnuyer, and it was
with the proceeds that he was able to devote
bis attention TO the utilization of the steam
engine in navigation. Thuyer had two
rotundas constructed on the Boulevard
Montmartre in front of the arcade which
still bears the names of the Passage des
Panoramas. There were exhibited pictures
by Pierre Provost and Constant Bourgeois.
The Colosseum overlooking the Regents
park was erected in London at immense
cost and opened in 1929 The first view
exhibited in il was one Of London taken
from the dome Of st. Paurs. This was
followed by a view Of Rome and afterward
by one Of Paris.
According TO NJ Bapst, it was Col.
Lauglois who made the first great improve
ments in panoramic exhibition. The view
or the battle or Navarlno was the first
exhibited on the new plan. The picture
was 80 skillfully combined with material
objects placed in front of IL that the eye
could not discover the junction. The illu-
sion was almost perfect. In speaking of
the panoramas still exhibited. NJ Bapst
referred to the view of Rio Janelro by
Messrs Merelle and Lanycrock, the BON
bardment of the Fort d'Issy by Philippe
taux in the Rotonde of the Champs Elysees,
and the Bataille de Rezonvills by Messrs.
Neuvills and Detaille in the Rotonde of the
Rue de Berry.
The lecturer said that the latter was the
hest executed and most perfect work of the
kind. The jury of the last exhibition con-
fsrred on it the Grand Prix d'Honneur. the
first ever awarded to panoramic painting
In concluding, NJ. Bapst said that it would
be enough to enumerate the names of the
great painters who had devoted their tai
ents to the production of panoramas to
prove that they were not to be placed
among the inferior works of art They re-
quired for their production not only solid
and brilliant qualities, but special knowl-
ledge and consummate skill in overcoming
difficulties which are not encountered by
the ordinary landscape painter.

CAPTURE OF A MURDERER.
A Desperate Wanted In FioridS
Brought Back From Texas.

A Desperate Wanted in Florida
Brought Back From Texas
PENSACOLA, Fla, Jan. 3O.-Among the
arrivals on the train from New Orleans last
night was Burren Martin. the noted muir
derer Of Santa Rosa county, whose cold
blooded deeds Of violence have made his
name terror to the people Of that section.
Martin was heavily ironed and closely
guarded by two determined looking men
who had him in charge. He was taken
from the union depot 70 the county jail.
His captors were I. s. Stone Of Canoe Sta
ton, Ala, and d. F. Suggs Of Hollister.
Tex.
HOW MARTIN WAS LOCATED.
From Mr.. Stone was obtained most in
teresting description of the manner in which
he had succeeded in capturing the des-
persdo. Mr.. Stone was not personally
acquainted with Martin, but Eknew OF bis
reputation. Some time since Mr.. Stone
was requested bya neighbor to read for him
letter which the latter had received
from a former citizen Of Alabama
who for good reasons had sought refuge in
Texas. In the letter this party stated that
he had succeeded in finding chum in Texas
who was man after his OVID heart. From
the description given of him Mr.. Stone was
convinced that his chum was no other than
Burren Martin. Without disclosing his
suspicion to any one, he secured the neces-
sary warrants from Santa Rosa county and
went to Texas, where, after much difficulty,
he succeeded In locating Martin and his
wife.
TIE ARREST.
When he felt satisfied of his man Mr..
Stone procured the services Of Mr.. Suggs
who Is citizen Of HOLSTER, and was
specially deputized By the sheriff of Tyler
COUNTY TO mako the arrest Martin was
unsusplcious and the arrest was made with
out assistance. though be afterward told his
captors that if he had been armed he would
have made it hot for them. HOLSTER is
small place on the Sabine and East Texas
railroad, in Tyler county. Martin
was employed in a saw-min under
an assumed name, and if it had
not Teen for the letter which fell into Mr..
Stones hands the murderer might have re-
ingness to return to Florida without a
requisition, but MIR. Stone deemed it more
prudent TO obtain one from Gov. Fleming,
and one was promptly forwarded.
THE PRISONER.
Martin is nearly so years old, and is
regarded as an all round bad man.
For deliberate. cold-blooded fiendishness
the murder by him of his son -in-law
on Christmas in December, 1889, is
not excelled in the annals of crime.
There are several indictments against
him, and a reward of $3.50
was offered by the governor
of Florida for his capture. 1t is generally
believed that he was a companion of Ruba
Burr VS. during that worthy's sojourn in
FloI "a. Martins captors carried him to
Milton this morning and delivered him up
to the sheriff of Santa Rosa county for
trial

A FIGHT TO THE DEATH.
Terrific Battle Between Mad Stallion
and Jackass.
From the Neag York Sun.

From the Netr York Sun
LEXINGTON, KY, Jan. pa battle to
the death took place ID Mercer county yes
terday between a valuable saddle stallion
and a jackass belonging to William Thomas,
stock raiser. A few days ago mad dog
bit Thomas little boy and the stallion.
Yesterday the horse went mad, and, kick
ing down the door to the jacks stable, be-
gan biting him. The jack retaliated, and
for fifteen minutes they fought, using their
teeth, heels and fore feet Finally the jack
tore the stations left ear with
his teeth, and the stallion then bit a piece
from the jacks neck. This seemed to make
the jack more ferocious than ever, and,
grabbing the lower part Of the stallion's
neck in his teeth he tore out his windpipe.
But the high-mettled stallion did not give
up, and before falling he kicked the jacks
left hind leg, breaking it just below the
hook. He then fell dead. The jack uttered
a long, loud bray and went into his stable.
He was covered with blood and wounded
unto death, SO that bis master killed him to
put him out of his misery. The boy was
taken to q maidstone The stone stuck three
times, and he shows no signs of madness.
1t is believed he will recover.

FAMOUS PANoRAMAs
Invented by Scotchman in His
Prison CELL.
From the NesU York Sun.


Prison CELL.
From the Net0 York Sun.
PARIS, Jan. I'm German Bapst de-
livered an interesting lecture the other day
to the Societe Historique of the st. Tinion
Club on panoramas. The invention, he said,
was due to painter named Robert Barker,
who lived in Edinburgh toward the close of
the last century. In 1875 he was impris-
oned for debt in the Scotch capital. His
cell was lighted by an air-hole in one of the
corners. which left the lower part of the
room in such darkness that he could not
read the letters sent to him. He found, how
ever, that whea he placed them against the
part of the wall lighted by the air-hole the
words became very distinct. The effect was
most striking. 1t occurred to
him that if picture were
placed in similar position it
would have wonderful effect. Accord
ingly, on his liberation, he made a series of
experiments, which enabled him to improve
his invention, and on June 10. 1857, he OBJ
tanned a patent in London, which estab-
fishes his claim to be the inventor of the
panorama. The London artists spoke with
great contempt of Barker's exhibition.
Panoramas had nothing to do with art.
They were industrial speculations and moth
ing more. However, the opinions of the
connoisseurs did not prevent the public
from rushing in crowds to see those exhib-
tied in the Rotunda in Leicester square,
among which were view of the English
feet at Portsmouth and the naval battle of
June, 1885, the battle Of Aboukir and other
battles.
After his success in London Barker be-

THE UNPAID INTEREsT.
DOLLARS OF THE DUPas.

Treasurer Davis Transfers all the
Money TO the Congo Company.
ATLANTA, GA, Jan. 30-Recsnt Wash
ington dispatches stated that a steamship
agent of that city had declined to pay over
to the Congo swindlers without an order
from Madison Davis, the Atlanta treasurer
for the exodus crowd, $500 deposited with
him by Davis. The money was part of
the sum collected from the credulous
negroes here. The balance, amounting to
as much more, had already been placed in
the hands Of the Congo board, and was re-
garded by sensible people as irredeemably
lost. But it was supposed that the $500
deposited with the agent might be recov-
cred.
DAVIS GIVES UP THE MONEY.
Davis, however, has just made a special
trip to Washington to transfer the money
to the grasp OF the board, and this after
noon publishes card in which he gives an
account OF his actions. He states, in con-
clusion, that he has done what he was in
structed by the exodus people TO do. and is
no longer responsible for the money. A
great majority Of the negroes are satisfied
that the funds are safe, and have refused
tickets purporttng 10 be good for the re-
turn of their doIlara Their faith in the
eventual coming Of the Congo company's
steamship which is 10 take them to Africa
seems as strong as ever. A few have ac>
cepted the tickets. and will test the SIM
certify Of the company's recent promise to
return their money on demand.
