DEATH REVEALS IDENTITY.
An English NobIeman Dead In Penn
 sylvana Hospital.

Pittsburg, March 7.-The Leader in its night edition, says:
 Cecil Sherbrooke Beaumont Rowland, Earl of Wargrave and Knight of the Garter, of Britains court, lies dead to- day in the Allegheny general hospital, known plain c. B. Rowland. The dead nobleman was employed as a super intendent of one of the departments of the Pressed Steel Car Company at Mo Kees Rock, but had not told any one of his position in England. He was taken sick two weeks ago with typhoid fever and yesterday his friends in New York were advised of his critical condition. He began to sink and died today. After Howland's death addresses of his friends were found and in this way the man s identity was revealed.
 A letter found among Howland's effects from the legal firm of Beresford Gray and Seymour of London, England, noti- fes Rowland of his succession to the title and estates of his uncle, Edward Earl of Wargrave. The writer addressed the Pittsburger as My Lord" and hoped he would shortly return to England and enter in possession of his estates. In the letter from the brother occurs the sent ence:
 'T think you ought to go elsewhere and use your own name"

their part well in the makeup of our marvellous Republic and in her incom- parable industrial prosperity.
 Both have contributed their full share to the creation of the American raoc. constituting a people so grand in their emotions and mentality that the valor and deeds of Southern and Northern war riors and statesmen are the source of mutual pride in the uplifting of Amerl- can life. The South shirks no duty de- volving upon her by the arbitrament of arms. She boldly proclaims the impera- tive duty resting upon her to educate and uplift her negro population and has made more generous appropriations there for considering her wealth than any of the Northern or Western commonwealths. This nation today turns with confidence to the South for the exercise of that con servativism, which Is the fair daughter of liberty and thrift; that conservatism which preserves the useful things in hu- man experiences as well as for that rad icelism which is the lusty son of law and order, who with a virile hand stranSles anarchy and corruption.
 They are a religious people, filled with reverence for the things reserving of ven eration, holding personal honor high above all else and believing that the Lord Is needed in all that relates to the hu- man campact for the full development of moraIities and the restraint of immor- alities. The future of our Southland Is radiant with realizing hopes in every de- partment of human progress. Our love for the Southern commonwealths builded so well by our ancestors, Is only eqnailed by our affection for this great common wealth of our home, buf4ded equally well by the Knickerbocker ancestors of some of our members.
 T appeal with all the earnestness of my nature to every member and friend of this society to exert his best endeavors to strengthen and enlarge the filed of it's usefulness"

UNKNOWN BOY
sabs Young Ira Carter for Taking a
 Peanut.

Ira Carter, son of Gilbert Carter of the Southern Music Company, was seriously though not fatally stabbed by an un- known white boy last night about mid night Young Carter was walking along Second avenue, between Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets and when passing the fruit stand near the Florence Hotel he picked up a peanut from the roaster on the sidewalk. As he did so a boy about twelve or thirteen years of age, who was temporarily in charge of the stand, rushed out and stabbed him. The blade the knife entered the left side about midway between the shoulder and the hip and blood flowed freely from the wound.
 The proprietor of the stand states that he asked the boy, whom he had seen around town frequently within the last two or three weeks, to watch the stand while he went up the street to get a lunch. While he was away the stabbing affray occurred.
 As soon as he stabbed young Carter the boy ran up Second avenue towards Twen- tieth street and escaped through Second alley which he entered at Twentieth street.
