The physicians at the hospital were unable to find any friends of the dead man. Sanitary Officer Frank was notified of the death.

WHAT IS GOING ON IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY— THE ROCKVILLE ACADEMY—IT"S RIGHT TO DIS- POSE OF A BEQUEST—AN INTERESTING CASE. Correspondence of Taz EVENING Star. Rocxvinie, Jan. 13/1889. A case of great interest to the people of this vicinity and one in which much speculation has been indulged, was decided by the court of appeals last week, it involving the right of the trustees of the Rockville academy to sell cer- tain lands bequeathed to that institution and purchase others considered by the trustees as more beneficial to the academy. A few months since an order was passed by the trustees to sell the farm devised to them by the late Julius West, and that not more of the proceeds of the sale than $6,000 should be Gi lied to the pur- chase of a large brick building, commenced and almost completed at the west end of town by Charles G. Willson, for the purpose of a Peter,one of the trustees, fearing compli- cations in the purchase and sale, would not agreeto the project, and filed a bill in the cirenit court to restrain the execution of the order of the board for the reason that such an investment was not authorized by the terms of Mr. West's will, The circuit court refused the injunction, and the case was carried to the court of Sar which has sustained the opinion of Mr. Peter, and decided that the trustees have the right to sell and reinvest the proceeds of said sale, but in no other way than ‘or the benefit of those seeking an education at the Rockville academy, as originally consti- tuted.

Here is a story which is vouched for by a well known conservative member of parlia- ment.

When near St. Stephen's, the conservative member ob- served that a man who waS on the pavement stepped forward and said something in the ear of the liberal leader.

Geo. | ROMANCE OF A SENATOR. How Berry, of Arkansas, Won His Bride Despite Parental Ojections. Judge Thompson in St. Louis Revublic. All opposition to the re-election of Mr, Berry to the United States Sentate has died out and he will without doubt be his own successor. There was talk of Governor Hughes, but he never stood any chance at all from the start against Berry’s popularity, which has made him Representative, judge, governor and Sen- stor. Berry's history reads like a romance. He was born in Mississippi, I think, and at the age of sixteen enlistedin the confederate army, an ignorant country boy, with neither educa- tion nor fortune nor polish. He left a leg at Shilo, and after the war, settled at Ozark, Franklin county, where he went to school, working nights and mornings for his board. Afterward he moved s¢ Carroll county, becom- ing a school teacher, and when he saved money enough he furnished a house, and, writ- ing to Ozark, invited one of the loveliest and most accomplished belles in the place to come and share it. She was willing. but her parents would not listeg to such s, thing. Berry then for the first time showed that indothitable luck that hag since overcome all ol : fre closed his school, crossed the mountain and by aid of a friend anda ladder stole his lady- love from a second-story window. They were married and shortly afterward the young peda- gogue was elected to the legislature, but the old man whose daughter he had won after the 1 deg of Middle Age chivalry could not forgive im. For years, however, Berry's wife and chil- dren were annual visitors at the Ozark home- stead, because he insisted on it, though the doors were closed to himself. He came out of the state on arent a lawyer, anda one, too. When his constituents elevated him to the circuit judgeship his father-in-law, often refer- red to him as “my son-in-law, Judge Berry,” but never spoke to him. In 1882 the ‘great northwest” brought meet out for governor and he was nominated by acclamation and elected by 40,000 majority. It must have been a broad and happy day for the judge when his wife’s father wrote to him: “My daughter was a better judge of menthan I. Forgive me, and during your administration, whenever you want to slip away from the capital to enjoy a brief respite from the cares of state, do not invite but beg you to make my country house your home.” Mr, Berry is now near the close of his first term in the United States Senate, having been elected four ars ago to fill the unexpired term of Senator jarland, and, the Attorney-General excepted, is a head and shoulders abeve any man in Arkansas, both in point of intellect and popu- rity. 000 Robinson’s From the New York Tribune. “T hear that Robinson has failed again,” said a New York business man, “Yes, so I hear,” replied the second New York business man. “Total wreck, everything gone?” said the first.

Amammoth sweet potato was taken home yesterday by Lewis Smith, of May's Landing, N.J., who gave it to his wife to be roasted. She placed it in the oven of the stove with- out breaking the skin. Shortly afterward the family was startled by a terrific explo- sion.

Prof. Waldstein, the head of the American Archeological Institute at Athens, has scored a notable discovery in excavations on the Acropolis in the form of a beautifully-preserved head of Iris belonging to the frieze of the Parthenon, which exactly fits and completes a portion of a slab at the British museum. In recognition of his work the Greek authorities have presented the original fragment and a cast of the whole slab to the American school. The lectures of Prof. Waldstein and his associ- ate, Tarbell, have been attended by many stu- dents of other national institutes, and have at- tracted general attention. The American ex- cavations at Ikarie and Starnata have yielded good results, and the government has given permission to dig at three other important laces, but lack of funds prevent our school ‘rom taking the lead of af the institutes of Athens, Failare. —-——--+00 English Tenant Wrong. From the London Truth. In 1669 One Ash Farm, Monyash, which has been since that date tenanted by the Bowman family, was only a poor homestead, with much uncultivated land and a right of pasturage over two neighboring commons. In two hun- dred and twenty years the tenants have en- closed, drained and cultivated these 809 acres, pat up. chiefly at their own expense, out- houses and agricultural buildings and greatly improved the farm house. And what is the re- sult? The rent has been about multiplied by ten on the strength of their improvements, and if they are turned out to-morrow the whole visible results of these two centuries of toil and lay are the property of his grace the Duke of Devonshire. And there are people who think that this system can last!
