But for those liabilities he would have been solvent. He WM now the only responsible trustee under Adams's will, Mr Fowler being dead, and Mr Mat. B. Dodds and Mr Henry Adams bankrupt. The late Mr C.

A telegram was despatched to Derby for an ambulance and doctor to be ready, and two porters were gent on in the partment. At Derby, whirl is about I __ minutes' run from Trent, it was found that the man was dead, bnt his eompanion was alive. She was removed to the Infirmary, but died im• mediately after being admitted. A four* chambered revolver, two chambers having beau discharged, wan found beside the young man, and from the stats of the comnartment there is no doubt that he first shoi the young lady, and then fired a bullet into his own brain. A bullet lay on the carriage seat near ' the woman, having apparently fallen from the wound in the temple. An investiaation revealed that the man's Dame was Robert Peron. He was a native of Brussels, and had been in Derby a few months in the employment of a firm of silk !merchants. He Rat very respectably connected, and was sent to Englaid to perfect himself in I the English language and obtain an insight into the silk trade.

I She we remaikahly pretty girl, and was wait' itig for • vacancy occurring in a hotel in Derby. ! where she wisked to be barmaid. Peron had lately shown her considerable attention, and on Saturday fetched her from her lodgings in a cab. They went together to Nottingham, and were , apparently upon the best terms. When they !entered the tran on the return journey they were noticed chatting and laughing together. Per.tn hail undoubtedly contemplated sulcide when lie left Derby with her, for iii hia pockets were seven letters—five addressed to his parent!' and friends in Brussels, and two to acquaintances in Derby. One wive delivered at the address on it on Saturday night. Peron therein stated that he intended taking his lif, and added. " You will know the reason later on." No reference whatever ROA made to the old in this letter, and there had pot, so far as ia known, been any quarrel between them. It is thought that in th 3 mad impulse he determined to gill his companion before taking his own life. Fermi was well stip. plied with muney, and it is difficult to ascertain his motive.  coin look:  17th April, 11149.
