NOT IN BLUEMoNT DEAL.
Senator Elkins Sees Nothing IL
Rumors of Railway Purchase.

Senator Stephen B. Elkins. whose name
has been mentioned recently In connection
with the reported purchase by a number
of Washingtonians OF the Bluemont d.
vision OF the Southern railway. denied
emphatically today that he was in any
way connected with such a deal or that
he was at all interested in any plan to
put one through.
"A suggestion Of such a purchase has
been going the rounds for some time"
said Senator Elkins. 'It started some
time ago with the idea of connecting the
Bluemont branch with the Falls Church
road by spur, but nothing ever came Of
it.
Personally. 1 do not think there Is
anything in the rumors that have recently
been revived. Certainly I know nothing
about them. beyond what anybody knows

Anglers do not anticipate such a condi-

Three Remarkable Epitaphs.

tombstones In England last summer.

ton. Deyonshire, and reads as follows:
..This modest stone which few fine marbles can.

Another appears upon the tombstone of
Sir Henry Wotton in the cemetery at
tached to Eton College. near WINDSOR;
He was a famous controvertlalfst, and
the author of many immortal episrams.
After giving his name and the usual
statistical Information the inscription
reads:
..He was the author of this sentence:
The itch of disputation Will prove the
scab Of the church
The third epitaph which DR.. Bell
brought back appears upon the tombstone
of the four children, three sons and one
daughter, Of John and Mary Pedrlck:
''Hear unto We
All you stand by:
As you now,
So once was we;
AS We am now,

1897. placed the following touching trib-
ute upon his tomb:

Upon another tombstone at Chester is
the inscription:

Capt. Keane's Presentiment.
Capt. NJ. NJ. Keane. who commanded
the President. one of the first steamships
that ever carried passengers across the
Atlantic, was lost at sea In 1S4O. The
older generations will recollect the ter
rfble suspense that followed the failure
OF the President to arrive at New York
on her twelfth voyage. She made eleven
round voyages, under Capt. Keane's
command. and started from Liverpool
on the return trip Of her voyage. but
was never heard of again. The captain
was a splendid sailor. but had the con-
ventional vices of his profession at that
date. In other words, he was given
to profanity and grog: nevertheless, he

Pugilist in Westminster Abbey.

Pugilist in Westminster Abbey.
I am asked whether 1t is true that a
prize fighter is buried In Westminster
Abbey That is the understanding. In
the west cloister, in the oldest part of the
building, imbedded in the pavement is a
slab of marble marking the grave of
John Broughton. who was a verger in
the abbey for more than thirty years.
and, before he obtained the situation, was
the champion prize fighter Of Great
Britain. holding the belt for moro than
contests during that time. and was the
victor on each occasion except the last,
when he was SO chagrined that he retired
from the ring. The dean and the chapter
appear to have had no objections to his
pugilistic record or habits. The guides
who show people around the abbey say
that when he was buried In the cloister
some Of his admirers wanted to i'm
mortalize him with an appropriate cpl
taph. and they indicate blank place
under his name which was left for the
inscription For twelve years champion
prize fighter Of England" but it was pro-
hibted.

Peter SIN Inanet' near broddstalrS, Kent,

place of Richard Joy. who was famous
during the earlier part of the eighteenth
century for marvellous feats Of strength,

with his hands a hempen rope capable of
sustaining thirty-tive hundredweight, and
could lift from the ground "long'' ton

MRS. KEPPEL HAS
 LOST HER SWAY

London, July 24.-(Special. .)-There are indications that the friendship between King Edward and Mrs. George Keppel. pronounced by the King the most enter taining woman in Europe, is at an end Mrs Keppel and her husband were care fully omitted from the list of guests at a recent entertainment given by Ambassa- dor Reid.
 The pointed omission of MT. and Mrs Keppel from the list has caused the live Hest gossip. Mrs Keppel has been the Kings favorite in society for the past 10 years. and her sway has been undis- puted. Her wit rather than her beauty won this coveted honor, and even Queen Alexandra gave way to her.
 There had been cautious intimations that Mrs. KeppePs place in the royal favor was not as high as 1t had been. but they were received incredulously by the majority Of those whose acquaintance reached into court circles, and it was beauty and her husband were occupying the beautiful home in the vicinity of Buckingham palace, which the King had presented them not long ago, and that Mrs. Keppel had later evidences of his ma jesty's regard.
 Todays development, however, is &C., cepted as final proof by all that her reign as the royal favorite Is at an end, and so- oiety POW Is eagerly inquiring into the identity Of her successor.
