JUSTICE BfAToHFoRD. probably be taken to Washington for interment For many seasons he has been a quiet visitor In the city during the summer season, residing in his own cottage on Grcenough place, and while not greatly given to society follow lngs he was frequently entertained in the first families.
 Samuel Biatchford was born in New York oity, March 9, 1920. He was the son of Richard Milford Blstchford. a distin- guished lawyer of his time. He studied in the public schools of the city and was grad mated from Columbia college in the class of 1887. In 1889 he became the private secre- tary of Governor Seward, and held the po- sition until he was admitted to the bar in lS42. He began the practice of law in New York city, but removed three years later to Auburn, where he became the law part ner of Governor Seward. In 1852 Justice Blatchford began the publication of tn, decisions ot the United States circuit court. Two years later he returned to New York where he practiced law until he was ele- vated to the federal bench. In 1867 Presi- dent Johnson made him United States dis trict judge for the southern district of New York, in which position he served with distinguished success until 1878. In that year President Hayes appointed him circuit judge for the second judicial cir cult, and in 1889 he was again promoted to be an associate justice of the United States supreme court to succeed Ward Hunt, by President Arthur.
 WASHINGTON, July i0.-The officials of the supreme court now in the city have been advised that the funeral of the late Associate Justice Blatchford will take place in Newport on Tuesday. The chief justice and associate justices, except Jus tice Harlan, who is in Paris as one of the Behring sea arbitrators, have been request ed to act as pallbearers.

BUFFALO'S EMBEZZlER.
Secretary Van Brocklin Drew Salaries For
 Ten Fictitious Bremen.

Secretary Van Brocklin Drew Salaries For Ten Fictitious Bremen.
 BUFFALO, July 11.-Eric Ontario Van Brocklin, secretary of the board of com missioners, was arrested here, charged with embedding a sum said to be over $50,- OOO He was taken to the mayors office where he made a confession, and was then taken to police headquarters and locked up. Van Brocklin's method has been to add fictitious names to the fire department payroll
 For some time past the commissioners have had suspicious that all was not right. They knew that Van Brocklin was living far in excess of his salary of $1, POO a year, and it was not known that he was worth anything outside of that. A quiet investi- gation followed, and it resulted in the startling discovery that the secretary of the board was an embezzler to the tune of $50.0OO
 He broke down completely and then made full confession. He admitted steal ing, adding the 10 fictitious names to the payroll twice month and drawing $666 80 every month.
 When asked what he had done with the money he said he had lost it in land spec ulations. He could not tell how much he had stolen, how long the pilfering had been going on. but he thought over six years at least
 When the conference was over Officer Pulls was instructed to formally serve the warrant, and be took Van Brocklin to po- lice headquarters and locked him up The prisoner sent for his attorney and had 8 long talk with him. It is said that he i'm plicated an employee of the comptroller's office, and that this person will also be ar rested. He is reported to have been stand ing in with Van Brocklin and juggling the warrants SO the steals could be made. The board of fire commissioners met and formally dismissed Van Brocklin from the fire department.

TERPSlCHORE ON WELLER CRlCk.

The daughters of Terpsichore who sit at Phal- las feet, And overlook the festival of dancing, In point of style and makeup may be very hard to beat As supple, soft eyed houris they're entranc- ing.
 But tan checked diety,
 Living in the Used-to-be, Could beat these maids with cards and spades in bloom;
 For she reigned on willer Crick,
 And presided, fair and chic, Der the rags" we used to give before the boom. The rags" we used to give before we platted out the place, Before we had the opryhouse to splurge in, Were free and easy gatherings of homemade country grace, And ev'rybody came without the urgin.
 Oh, the fiddle and the horn,
 And the organ, wheezed and worn, Made an itchy, twitchy music in the gloom
 Of the busy workaday,
 So that sorrow staid away From the rags" we used to give before the The caller off and the fiddler was a simple, homely soul, Who had one waltz in all his repertory; His long suit was his ''cowdrills' and the over flowing bowl. And the Irish washerwoman" was his glory.
 But he tickled up his heels
 With his old Yirginny reels, Like an airy, joyful fairy in the room:
 For then none of us were rich,
 Nor were parvyneo and sich, At the rags" we used to give before the boom. Will A. White in Indianapolis Journal.
