William Quigley then made application
for the same farm; also Robert McLadden
George w. Gray Of Wilmington endorsed
Mr., Quigley, and offered himself as Sc
curity, stating, however. that Mr.. Quigley
needed none, as he was able and willing TO
pay the rent In advance. The applicants
were then requested to withdraw while the
matter was being discussed.
The members all seemed to look favora-

CLEVELAND, O., May 29.-Judge
Kicks, of the United States federal
court, has appointed Samuel r. Gallo
way receiver of the Toledo, St. Louis &

taken at the instance of Stout &

forth that a large amount of unsecu1 ed

JAMES e. MURDOCH,

at his benefit here two years ago, when
he recited ''Sheridan's Ride" The poem
was written in this city. by Thomas Blu
chanan Reed and recited for the first
time thirty years ago by Murdoch dur
ing performance at the old Pike opera
house.
James Edward Murdoch was born in Phila-
delphia, January %, 1911. He was one of the
last OF the actors OF the old school, of which
Forrest, Macready and the elder Booth
were the chief opponents. He learned
the trade OF a boollbinder, but on Oc-
tober IL, 1885, appeared at the Arch
street theater, Philadelphia, as Frederick in
Kotzebues play of Lovers Vows afterward
acting for many years in most of the large cit
les OF the United States. In 1910 he became
stage manager of the Chestnut street the
alter in Philadelphia, and IN the follow
ing year temporarily withdrew from the stage
to lecture on Shakespeare and to teach elocu-
ton. The attraction Of the stage, however,
proved too much for him, and in 1S45
he returned to the drama, beginning
New York as Hamlet, and afterward
making tour of the United States
and Canada In 1856 he went to England where
he scored a success at the Haymarket theater,
but in 1857 he again abandoned the stage
and settled on a farm near Lebanon O.
During the war of the rebellion he nursed
sick and wounded soldiers in the hospital, gave
readings for the benefit OF the United States
sanitary commission and became a volunteer
aid on the staff of Gen. Rosecrans. Up to
within two years he was professor of elocution
at the Cincinnati College of Music.
Murdoch's best efforts were in the line of
genteel comedy and juvenile tragedy; his
Romeo Charles Surface and Don Felix in
1.-THE Wonder" had many admirers But
while his acting was always praised by the
critic he was never notably successful as
star, possibly because he disdained the
methods by which so many actors have risen to
notoriety. Mr.. Murdoch was writer as well
as an actor, having published works on the cul-
ture of the voice ard dramatic art which have
been accepted text books throughout the
world
