sketch Of the " Life and Services of General
JethrO Sumner" He spoke OF the
manners. of the time and place where
General Sumner was reared, and his
description Of the old-tlme hospitality of the
colonsts WAS very pleasing. The old Virginia
country mansions were scenes OF abundance
and generosity. Men wero taught to be brave

Passes Suddenly Away.
nv Cable to The Times.

lBy Cable 10 The Times
LONDON. July 4-W. II. Gladstone. the eld-
est son of Right Hon. W. +. Gladstone. died
this morning. The late Mr.. w. II. Gladstone
has been for some time lying i'll with brain
disease and paralysis of the right side at the
residence of his father-in-law, Lord Blantyre.
On thursday last. after a consultation of his
physicians and surgeons, it was decided to
attempt the operation of removing a tumor
which was pressing the brain
The operation was performed on that day,
but the patient sank steadily and rapidly
until death this morning released him from
suffering.
Mr.. Gladstone came by special train 10
his sons sido only TO find him dead. The
scene which followed the meeting Of Mr..
Gladstone with his wife and children was
more than affecting
The grief of the father was so terrible that
his friends are seriously anxious for the con-
sequences which may follow TO one so ad-
yanced in years and feeble in health
1t is feared that Mr.. Gladstone has become
so weakened by distress over his sons death
that he will not again be active in Parliament.

A story OF Christmas Gifts Journey From
Cvnndp.
TEashviIla AmarfcsrN


Among the thousands of Christmas gifts
received and passing through the Nash
vile postotIice all have found their own
ers. The last was found yesterday. 1t
was beautiful necktie sachet made by
young lady in Hamilton, Ont, and sent
to dental student in this city. 1t con-
tanned no address whatever or other
marks OF Identification, except two
Canadian stamps. The postoffice had
the matter noticed in the papers and
several persons called, presuming the
present was for them. Under direction of
the postmaster the parties wrote TO their
friends in Canada, and finally the young
dental student received letter which sat
isfsd the postoffice authorities that he was
the party for whom the handsome pres
ent was intended.
How a package bearing no address
whatever could have found its way TO Nash
vile from so distant point as Ontario is a
mystery, and that Nashville should have
been the proper destination ami the pack
age should have eventually fallen into
the hands Of it's owner. is not only a
strange coincident, but also flattering
commentary on the perfection oil the
American postal system.

dered DIR. Lindemann. The woman, IL APP
pears, was of the character of Gabrille
Bompard. Eyraud's mistress.
As to what actually took place after the
woman had enticed her victim into her
room little Is actually known here, owing
to the fact that the police are not yet pre-
pared to give all the facts TO the public
However. it is concluded that the doctor
when in the woman's apartments was
dragged, murdered and robbed by the
woman who had bewitched him, and that
the latter was assisted i'm the preparation
OF the crime by the man.
The arrests have caused much commo-
ton. 10 is rumOred that the man and
woman in custody may have other and
similar crimes charged against them, and
that the woman may have been used to
lure other men to their doom. In place
like tn where the finding of bodies
generally cases OF supposed suicide is
not an infrequent occurrece, it is not as
tonishing that the widest theories hive
been advanced, and that the people fancy
that perhaps the woman made il a busl-
ness TO decoy successful players into her
apartments, and that there they may have
both been robbed and murdered and their
bodies placed so that they would be classed
as victims of ill-luck at the gaming tables
OF Monte Caro- or elsewhere.

STUDENTS BURNED TO DEATH.

DNatroy.d.


MONROE, n. c., March 5.-Fire was dis
covered in the Monroe high school early
this morning. An alarm was at once
sent in and the students of the
school we're aroused as soon as possible,
but it was too late to save the building
and two unfortunate young men.
Thomas Pemberton of Little Rock,
Ark, and Albert Bost, of Bosts
mill, n. c., persisted in the
flames. At the first alarm the young
ladies, who roomed on the ground floor,
made their escape. The young men
roomed on the third floor, and when the
alarm reached them the means OF escape
were partially cut o !, and the building
was filed with smoke and flames. Al
bert Bost and a. G. Rhodes were
in a room together. Albert awakened
first and discovered the fire, awoke
Rhodes. In trying to escape, Albert
started for the west entrance, which WAS lin
the part of the building where the fire
originated. He was suffocated 10y
smoke, overcome by heat and went down
with the building. Rhodes sought the
east entrance and managed to escape after
being severely burned about the neck,
h.ad and arms. Thomas Penberton was
not sren at all, and his remains were
found on the wire springs of his bed,
leading to the belief that he did
not awake at all. The head,
arms AMI legs of the bodies
were burned of. leaving a mass of charred
flesh. The building was completely de-
stroyed, together with the school furniture.
