period now covered. There Is u pain
full story connected with Robinson's
residence: he was. by favor of his
brother. M%oncure Robinson, who lived
in Philadelphia. made president of the
Richmond. fredericksburg and Potomac
Railroad Company. but. just before the
completion of his residence. his defal-
cation is president became known. and
he fled to Central America, where he
died.
The first in Richmond to lay claim
to being an architect was Henry EXall.
He was brought from England-prob-
ably to Richmond-when six years old.
OF his early life. 1. of course. knew
nothing. but. as | grew into my teens.
| used to hear much adverse criticism
of him: but the real trouble. as 1
learned in my experience of him. was
thai he was Il man ahead OF his time
Il worse fault than being behind tho
times. for the former frequently. IL not
always, means disaster. while the man
behind the times is simply 4 sufferer
without knowing it. The man ahead
Of his time usually gets himself and
followers in bad reputc by investing
his and their money In enterprises. and
then can find nobody to take the i'm
proved property OFF their hands so as
TO enable them to engage In other i'm
provcnents. but have to hold un-
profitable property while being eaten
UP 10y loss Of interest and by taxes.
Alexander Duval. an amiablc but
weak man. and Itichmond's first whole
sale druggist 1ocated at the upper end
OF Eagle %Squarc). was reputcd to have
been ruined by following Mr.. Exall's
lead: and the report was probably true.
because Mr.. Duval sold out to Adic &
Gray and disappeared from public
view. Purcell. 1.add e Co. went out OF
Alexander Duval. and for years were
our only wholesale druggists. They
remained prominent in business circles
until soon after the election of John
+. Purcell to the presidency of the First
National sank when he wound up the
drug business. and the admirable
name Of Purcell. Ladd & Co. dis
appeared from the commercial flrma-
mcut. MIR. Exall fell into disrepute.
but when. years after. lar much
business with him as an architect. !
found him upright and honorable,
though Of very poor Judgment.
Tho name OF Purcell reminds me of
incident which may be regarded az
or otherwise. according TO
the point Of view. DIR. William II.

Purcell Gather Of Job Is. rur-
