IN MIIMORIAM

Died, at his residence near Groom, on
Zcdock Tayman, tifty-eight years old.
In the death of Mr.. Tayman the neigh
borhood has sustained loss that is in
deed well nigh irreparablc and the com
munity well loved and highly respected
citizen. But it was only Mr. Tayman's
most intimate friends who knew the true
worth and generosity of his soul. He
was one of the most truly charitable men
who ever lived but his was the charity
which is registered in Heaven, unknown
on earth. Truly can it be said of him.
that his left hand knew not what his right
hand did. There was not a case of actual
need which came to his knowledge but
he was the first to extend material aSslS-
lance and consolation. He was not one
to offer words of empty sympathy, but i'll
his resolute way his hand was always out
stretched with an open purse for those
who needed it most. So quiet and unos-
tentatious were his ways that but very
few knew of his many charities but deep
down in his large heart there was an
ever-howing well of love and sympathy
for all humanity. A true, staunch friend,
Il loving father and husband, he was one
of the gentlest natures in existence yet
when aroused no fear entered his daunt-
less soul and he was outspoken and posi-
tive in his dcnunciation of what he con-
sidcrcd wrong and unjust. Those who
enjoyed his closest friendship knew of
the warmth and truth of his Utmost ma
ture and of his implacable distrust of all
that was insincere and deceptive. In the
wears to come his true worth and useful
ness will be known and appreciative, his
loss felt most deeply and his memory re-
ceive the full reward metcd out to his gen
erous life. A widow and eight children
survive him, to whom we offer our earn
est and heartfelt sympathy.
A FRIEND.

Death of Major Mathews.

Major William B. Matthews died at his
home, on the Wicomic river, in Charles
county, October 3. in the seventy first year
of his age, of paralysis. He sustained no
less than four attacks within the last three
years. His life was that of a typical
Southern planter. He was one of the
largest land and slave holders in Southern
Maryland. He never held public office,
but was democrat of the old school.
Three sons and four daughters survive
him. One of his daughters is the wife of
Bishop Kinloch Nelson, of Georgia. He
was buried Monday at the Protestant
Episcopal Cemetery, near La Plata. The
pallbearers were Gen. L. Allison Wilmer,
Samuel Cox, j., John H. Reeder, James
Dorset and W. B. S. Chapman.

tering him with them from head to

the fellows were who threw the eggs,
but was unsuccessful. Mr. Kicker has
made himself unpopular with good
many people during the past few
years, but he thinks this no reason

William +. Yarney of WillistoI
was arrested last week on a charge Of
bigamy. 1t seems that Varney mar
ried Cora Tilley in 1889. After a
little trouble in 81 Varney left hii
wife and later was sent to the House
of Correction for Is months for rob
berry. His wife went to some place in
New York and was reported to have
been married.
The case was brought to the states
attorney by the father of Miss Os-
borne. They claim that Narney rep
resented to his last wife that he was
divorced from the first one, thus
fraudulently obtaining Miss Osborne's
consent. Rumor also states that the
Osborne woman and Varney were too
intimate and that he married her TO
prevent unpleasant consequences.
Miss Osborne, wife No. ?, was ar
rested the next day for adultery.
They were brought into the city
court at Burlington Friday.
Varney pleaded guilty to infor-
nation filed against him on a charge
of bigamy. lie was sentenced to two
years of hard labor at the states
prison at Windsor.
Miss Osborne pleaded guilty to in
formation filed against her charging
her with adultery. She did not deny
that she knew Varney had a wife
living. She was sentenced TO one
year in the House Of Correction at
Rutland.

A Bad Failure.

No financial crash ever fell to the
lot of Brattleboro with such uneypect-
edness and force rs did on Tuesday
evening of last week, when it became
known that +. II. Van Doom would
file voluntary petition in insolvency,
and that his failure would cause the
embarrassment of the three firms of
which he is the head-Van Doom Il
Morris, Brattlebero, crockery; Jordan
& Van Doom, Brattleboro, jewelry,
and Van Doom n Tilson, Rut-
land, crockery. Mr.. Van Doorn's
personal obligations are in round
numbers $40, 900, and the debts Of the
two store concerns about S43, 900. The
assets of the stores are about equal to
the liabilities, and the holders of the
store notes and claims will lose COM
paratively little. Mr.. Van Doorn's
personal assets are small, and the
holders of his personal paper will be
heavy losers. A distressing feature
about the failure is that the fortune
of Mr.. Van Doorn's mother, amount
ing to $4,000, viii be swept COM
pletely away. He has other relatives
who will lose heavily and several per-
sons who placed confidence in his
financial strength will be distressed.
Most of the creditors live in Brattle-
boro. The store of Van Doom ~
Tilson at Rutland has not yet filed an
inventory, which will without doubt
make the total liabilities a little over
500. 600. The cause Of the failure is
not known.

JOSIE BRAGG RELEASED.
Evidence that She Is Suspected by Her
EOster-MOther.

CHICAGO March 12.-The mystery over
the shooting of Mrs. Caroline +. Bragg is
no nearer n solution now than IL was when
first reported TO the police. Absolutely
nothing has been discovered upon which TO
hang a clew. Mrs. Braggs condition Is
now such that unless unexpected complica-
tons set in she will probably recover. Late
this evening Josephine Bragg was released
from custody, as no evidence duplicating
the girl in the shooting could be adduced.
and Mrs. Bragg steadfastly refused to con-
meet her with the affair. After her release
the girl went to ST. Luke's Hospital, where
her foster-mother is being cared for, and
remained there for several hours
The interview at the hospital between
Josephine and her foster mother was rather
"a dramatic one. and showed clearly that
Mrs. Bragg suspected the girl of the crime.
After a short conversation Mrs. Bragg said:
after this, Josie, and I'll take another"
The girl did not leave the bedside until her
mother had several times repeated: That's
all Josie" Then she was led away. Mrs.
Bragg afterward said TO the detectives:
I'm afraid Josie did not come To me
soon as she might that morning. / think
there is something wrong there. As soon
as | was shot | felt for Josie but she was
not in the bed. The placing OF that pistol
on the cupboard and moving of furniture
were very suspicious. Strange. very
strange"
Mrs Bragg may escape total blindness.
To-day she saw ray OF light with her left
eye. although the physicians thought she
had been totally deprived of sight
