 MT. Montague educated himself, having borrowed money to attend college and the university. He is and has always been a hard student, and possesses good library.
 He received his educa ton at public and private schools in Middlesex un- til he entered Richmond college, ses- medal for improvement in debate the first session and was final orator of his literary society in 1882. Here he graduated in two schools, and sue cessfully passed all the collegiate ex- aminations except one. On leaving college he taught school in Orange county for two years. He took the summer law course at the University of Virginia in 1884 and returned for only eight months of the regular ses sion 1ss4-85, taking his B. L. degree in June, 1885.
 He commenced the practice of law in DanviIle in October, 1885, and ht soon secured varied, large and most responsible practice. Many of his eff forts at the bar gained for him far more than local reputation.
 He was appointed United States at- torney for the western district of Virginia July l, 1893, and rendered his resignation to President Mckinley in June, 1897. His resignation was not accepted, and on July 23, 1897, Chief Justice Fuller appointed him district attorney ad interim, the duties of which office he performed until the day preceding his qualification as at torney general of Virginia, on Janu- ary 1, 1898, to which position he had been elected in the fall of 1897, hav- ing run ahead of the state ticket 1000 votes.

laNd, it's design resembling the shape of coffin, as shown in the accom- panying photograph.
 Its origin is not the outcome of an accidental freak on the part of the builder, the structure being expressly planned on these lines by former pastor of the place, who desired ahat the chapel should be erected in the form of coffin in order that the wor- shipers and public. generally might be reminded of their latter end.
 That the wish of the designer has been fulfilled is clearly evidenced by the name of "tbe coffin chapel" being applied to it, by which cognomen the blilding is known locally, and as such attracts the attention of all strangers who visit the pleasant Suffolk village in which it stands. The gruesome- looking building is visited byhundreds of people every week and opinions upon it are various.

CAPT. S. II. NIMRlcK IS DEAD
Steamboat Inspector succumbs at Hi
Home In Dubuque.

Steamboat Inspector Succumbs at His
Home In Dubuque.
Capt. Samuel II. Nimrick, who was
q frequent visitor to Rock Island in
the pursuit of his duties as steamboa
inspector. died at his home in Du-
buque Yesterday. He had been in
poor health for over a year, but last
fall appeared to regain his strength
somewhat, and was able to be up and
about until few weeks ago, when he
became worse. His disease seemed to
be something akin to paresis, and de-
spite the fact that he found it very
difficult To get around at times
still he never complained, and at
tended to his duties as steamboat in
spector until the season closed late
last fall. Capt. Nimrick was an old
riverman, and had very wide ac-
'quaintance up and down the Missis-
sippi river. He, with Capt j. d.
Knapp. also of Dubuque, were the
steamboat inspectors for the fifth
government district, which covered
the Mississippi from Keokuk to Red
Wing, also the Missouri river from
Sioux City north to Pierre. S. ID. He
was appointed to this position under
Cleveland's first administration, and
was regarded as very competent
man. Deceased is survived by his
wife and one son.
The funeral of the late Gust M. Ford
was held from the home on Fifteenth
street, in Moline, yesterday afternoon,
and was largely attended. in addition
to the sorrowing friends large repre-
sensations from the various lodges to

DANGEROUS CROSSING
AT TWENTIETH STREET.

The danger at the Twentieth street
crossing over the Burlington tracks
has been considerably enhanced by
the running of the D., r. I. C N. w.
passenger trains over the road. The
number of trains passing the crossing
has been nearly doubled, and of late
some of them have been run at a speed
that would render it next to impossi-
BILE for team crossing from the south
TO avoid an eastbound train il the two
happened to arrive at the same time.
Something should be done here for the
protection of life. Gates should be
provided at this point, as in every
other city the size of Rock Island.

TRAIN KILLS A boy
Walter Fowler Fatally Hurt in
Boarding a Coal Car at
Sixth Street.
BODY Is TERRIBLY MUTILATED
Dies Six Hours After Accident.
An inquest Being
Held.

Walter. 12-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Walter Fowler, S19 Second ave-
nue., was run over by the Mercer
county coal train on the E. /. & P.
at the Sixth street crossing last
evening and sustained fatal in
juries. The accident occurred shortly
after O'Clock. The train, which
was in charge of Conductor Hamp-
son and Engineer Park, was COM
ing in from Gable. Walter, with
a party of other boys, was attempting
to board the coal cars for ride up
town. Just how it happened no one
knows, for there were no eye wit
nesses, and Walter was the only one
of his party who was left behind. He
was found few minutes afterward
by switchman, lying between the
rails and unconscious.
Recovery Found Impossible.
The unfortunate lad was taken to q
neighboring house and then to st.
Anthony's hospital in the ambulance.
There Drs. B Hall, f. II. First
and Joseph DeSilya examined and
dressed his injuries. 1t was found
that his skull was fractured and
large portion of the scalp was torn
away on the left side. His left hand
was ground to a pulp, his left foot
crushed, and the flesh stripped from
the lower part of his right leg. Re-
covery was impossible and death came
at IL 20 in the evening. The father,
who is a stove molder, and works at
Quincy. was notified and came home
this morning.
Dangerous Practice.
While the accident is most deplora-
BILE, it is the natural consequence
of the practice followed by number
of boys in the lower end of town who
meet the incoming trains when they
slow down as or below the Sixth street
crossing, and board them for ride up
town. The trainmen say they are
powerless to stop the custom, and
their efforts in that direction have
even been met with volley of mis-
sles from the boys. The latter also
frequently stall heavy trains on the
curve there by pulling the stop-cock
and setting the air brakes OF late
their rscklessness has grown more
marked and the wonder is that acct
dents have not occurred before.
An inquest is being held over the
remains this afternoon.
The funeral services will be held at
the Fowler home at 2:30 tomorrow af-
ternoon, Rev. ID. l.. McNary, of the
United Pres byterian church, ofliciat-
