A QUEER oLD ENeLIsHMAN.
Thomas Laugher and His Curious Expert
ences, Physical and Otherwise.

Thomas L@Hgher and His Curious ExperB.
ences, Physical and Otherwise.
Thomas Laugher, who is said to have
died ut the age of 1l2, has an amusing
record that connects him with Holburn.
He was well educated man, for he had
studied at Christchurch, Oxford, for 10
years. In early life he had been a wine
merchant in Tower strees and failed,
owing to the failure of a very large
house in the same trade, Neele, Fordyce
6S Co. 1t so affected Laugher that he be-
came blind and speechless, and the skin
peeled off from the whole Of his body
Though a wine merchant, he never
drank any fermented liquor for the first
80 years Of his life. The old man =
memory was prodigious. He well re-
membered, in 1905, seeing Queen Anne
going TO the house of peers, seated ON a
pillion behind the Lord Chancellor, and
he talked about the death of William
Ill He had been a well made man,
rather above the middle height. At so
he had a severe fit Of illness, and then a
fresh head of hair came, and new nails
ON the fingers and toes. A contraction
that took place in the fingers of each
hand at this instant remained always
after. Nothing is said about new teeth
coming i'll his case, and he must soon
have recovered sight and speech, which
misfortune had deprived him oa 90
abruptly.
He had u son, who died at the age of
so, and whom he always called poor
Tommy" This boy Of fourscore looked
very much older than his father, and the
fact led TO some curious mistakes ON the
part OF strangers who saw them togeth-
er. Once, when they We're WI liking in
Holborn, the son could scarcely keep
pace with the father-in fact, with so
great difficulty and distress did he do so
that he attracted The attention Of a gen
tleman, who went up to old Laugher to
eXpostuiate with him ON his want Of
flial duty in not aiding more his vener-
able father. The old man told him Of
b 5 mistake, but the stranger refused to
give the least credit to his assertion un.
hl somebody passing at the time, who
knew the Laughers well, certified TO the
perfect truth Of the story
All four turned laughers then; at
their separation all Holborn beamed
with smiles, and grew quite radiant for
moment, bnt the next second it relapsed
into its bustling but somewhat melan.
choly quotidian business-cash hunting.
One feels amused at this fusSy moralist,
who showed such prevailing anxiety
and ofhciOnsness TO direct others III the
path of virtue, shifting, as the mote, un-
G nScious of the beam. Notes and Que
res.

A. {. HERRlcK.
Dies at Glenn's Ferry After a
Lingering Illness.

The EXAMINER 10 called upon this
week to chronicle the death of one oil
Montpelier's oldest and most respected
citizens, A. E. Herrick. He died al
Glenn's Ferry, Tuesday morning at 4
O'Clock. from complication OF heart
troubles with which he had been ailing
for some time. Last spring he got a
change of runs from the first to the third
district, hoping the change might do
him good II was Of no avail
Mr.. Herriek was born in Pennsylvania
73 years ago. He early took up .ail-
reading, which was then in its infancy.
and at the age of twenty-nine was made
an engineer. From chen till his death,
forty four years, he was steadily on the
road. He was in the employ of the U.
P. for twenty-three years, having been
OF the passenger run out of this city
since the completion of the Short Line,
over thirteen years. During Mr. Her.
rick's time in the east he "pulled'' Presi.
dent Lincoln to Washington on the oc
casion of his first Inauguration in 1861.
During all his long service he never met
with a serious accident, and in that
time had travelled probably more than
one and one-half million miles on an
engine. Mr.. Herrick was one Of the
oldest, if not the oldest, active enRi.
neers in the United States with one Of
the longest number Of years of actual
service.
During the deceased's residence in
this city he made for himself legions of
friends, who are always ready to attest
to his honesty OF purpo+e and upright
ness of character. Every railroad en-
ployee on the Short Line knew him, and
by reason of his being the oldest of them
the boys called him 'sDad."
A genuine pang of sorrow was felt in
every heart in this city when the news
OF his death came, and his many friends
here and elsewhere will extend TO his
sorrowing wife and fatherless children
words of sympathy, which can be actu-
ated only by riucere hearts.
According to his expressed wish he
was brought to Montpelier for burial.
The ceremonies took place in Brennan's
hall, and were conducted by the B. of
L. B., Division No. 324. Rev. Boyd
preached the sermon before large au-
dience OF old-time friends. The floral
decorations were extremely beautiful
One floral piece, that OF the engineers,
represented broken wheel. The re-
mains were laid at rest in the city
cemetery.

A secret political meeting was
held in Paris this week by McKin-
ley republicans from different parts
of the valley. The object, pre-
snmably, was to effect an erganiza-
ton with view of holding a new
set of primaries and another con-
vention. The last one was run by
the people, and of course it was
against Mckinley and gold, and
none of the aforesaid aiteso we're
there or will go to Boise on the
10Th. This don't suit them or the
managers at Boise, who are hand
ling MeKinley's interests, and in
eidentally his money, hence the
new deal.
