Lawrence Perrin, 3e, whose life from boyhood had been succession of nor bid eccentricities, picturesque and with adventure, committed suicide on Friday in a Baltimore hotel. The Per in family for many years has occupied their summer home at Watch Hill. Mrs. Perrin arrived here late Thurs day, and after a few hours she was large fortune at the death of his fla ther, Nelson Perrin, former president of the United Railways Company of Baltimore. Soon after young Perrin received his legacy, more than $1 ,000,- 900, he commenced to squander it.
 His adventurous nature led him into death peril in Morocco, riots in Spain, flights into Egypt, and other wild do- ings, that resulted in his brother caus- ing him to be placed in the Bloom ingdale asylum. After three years of litigation he was released. The Span iSh government commissioned a board of architects to investigate the an- nOuncement of Perrin that he had dis covered long buried treasures in a Moorish palace he had purchased at ROnda. Shortly afterward, by reason of escaping from an institution for the insane, he was taken into custody by the United States consulate at Tan gier.
 Perin's first wife was Jane Cor don Sartori, a society belle of Balti- more Her unhappy married life caused her to shoot and kill herself at the home of her sister at Harrow-in-the- Hill. In 1913, soon after his release, from the asylum, Perrin married Eliza w. Perine, of Baltimore, He was quite well known in Westerly and in Watch Hil1 and noted for his queer actions. While Perrin was in Spain, in custody, Connie Farrell, now a. garageman. at Watch Hill, and for merly in the employ of the Perrin fam fly, was sent abroad to accompany the young man back to his home coun- f,-xg

Twenty -one cars of coke. consigned to

pany of Monterrey, were crossed at the in

II. Mason Jr. Exporting Company and the
first train load, eleven ears, was taken TO
Monterrey this morning. The remaining
ten ears will be shipped tomorrow. The
small engines in use on the Constitutional

trainload TO be handled to Monterrey at the

This is the largest single shipment ever

its supplies via Laredo.

that he had in sight about thirty ears of

Gates that the smelters, the backbone of
Monterrey industry, are resuming opera

been idle for months owing To the unset

kets. The Monterrey smelters have a pay
roll aggregating hundreds of thousands of
dollars month and the opening of traffic
through this port viii probably mean that
a great deal of other classes of imports
will be sent through here and that, in all
probability, no small portion of this money
will be spent with Brownsville wholesale
merchants.
