IIi:i.H Uul'SE SCHOOL. 11I.KN. l.:ui:-:;n Under Supieis:: 3lcdicu:c he Cave te lluj La-I. Londen Telegraph. Mr. Geerge II. Lauiseu en Saturday evening, December oil, at about 7 o'clock, came front Louden, where be was tbeu staying, en a flying visit te bis brother-in-law, Mr. Percy Malcolm Jehn, a student at Blenheim house school, St. Geerge's read, Wimbledon. IIe was no stranger te the principal, Mr. William Henry Bed Bed reek, his custom having becu le visit the deceased twice or thirce a year, usually staying an henr or two. On Saturday Mr. Bedroek was about te leave his pupil and brother-in-law together and atteud te some .sixty guests he was entertaining when Mr. Lamson, addressing him, said : 'I shall net step long; de please rs maiii." Mr. Bedroek resumed his seat, and was piesent dining the whole of the interview. The deceased, Percy Malcolm Jehn, who was a cripple, began his education late in life. lie was 19 years of age, of a most agiecable disposition, and very talented. Unable le get about the house save in his wheel chair, lie spent a large portion of his time in reading, and acquired a fund of knowledge which placed him at the head of the school. There appeared te exist between him and h;s biether-in-lawawarni affection. The latter, alluding te the cx t:cmc curvature of deceased's spine, has been heard te declare that it would require a very siigut lau le injure nun latany. tt was generally considered very improbable that the deceased would survive the age of 21, although these engaged in the es tablishment, apait from the principal, as well as the medical man who regu larly attended the students, testify te his continued geed health and free dom from sudden attacks of illness-. When he entered the room en Saturday, Mr. Lamson exclaimed, " Why, 1'er.jy, hew fat you leek." In the ceuisc of the inter view sherry was placed en the table, and Lamson produced two boxer, of capsules, among which, it is said, vvcic some quin ine pills. The capsules were of the ordi nary gcllatinc composition. One of them the visitor handed te Mr. Bedrock, with the lcmark that he might find them useful when desirous of giving nauseous medicine te his boys. lie .showed hew they divided in the middle, and that in the cavity could be placed a pill or powder. Mr. Bedroek swallowed the capsule given him, which was empty, and felt ue ill effects. Mr. Lamson asked for some sugar, and obtain ing it ebs.ened by Mr. Bedioek, he filled, te all appearance, a second of the empty capsules with ir. This he passed te the deceased, who plac2(l it en his tongue and swallowed it s crs'.ly as te call forth' a remark. Mr. Bedroek says he felt that it was administered for the youth's geed, and stales that he did net hear any excla matien from the deceased te this effect : "I don't want ei your quinine pills such as ou t;ave me at t-lianklin. It did for me thciP. ' Neither did Percy, thi.; is the way we the nea n Lamson say. used te lake :! in Atactica te destroy effects of the alcV.iel." Mr. Be lroel: con tradicts thi! a.,serli.n that the deceased uttered an oath in lespeet te lite quinine pill, an 1, he adds, at this time no allusion whatever was made te any incident -of which he was awaie. In Au,4::-.t last, while the de ceased was slopping with his friends at Shaisklin, in the Isles of Wight, Mr. Lam son gave him a pill, representing it te be of quinine, from the effects of which he suffered considerably. It has since lieui assir'ainsd that en the same night, imme diately niter administciing this pill, Mr. Lamson left for Liverpool, intending Iheie . te join an Inmau line steamer as medical man. Mr. Bedroek also recollects that at different times Lamson has sent him med icine ier his pupil, but en each occasion en lincling that it disagreed with the de ceased, Mr. Bedroek discontinued the doses. All such medicine retained in his possession he lias 'landed te the police authorities. The visit aboe rei'erretl te lasted about twenty-live minute.", when Lamson left, saying that he was bound for Florence via Paiis. The desciiptien given of him is that of an "active American," of ex citable temperament and vivacious manner and speech. Moreover, the tiain for Wa terloo leaves at 7:20 p. in., and he had allowed himself barely time te reach the railway station, which, however, is within a very shore distance, and almost in view of the house. At Florence the father of Mr. Lamson is the American chaplain. He has a brether-iu law scttlcu in Eng land, at no gicat distance from Wimble den, but Lamson himself is staled te be of a roving disposition. He went through the France-Prussian and Turke Russian wars, during which he gained medals. ' Since then he has had some practice at Bournemouth. On the death of Mr. Mal colm Jehn the property he was possessed of would revert te Lamson's wife, the sister of deceased. Iset long after his relative's departi.r j, ' the deceased began te feel ill, and recalled tut; cuiiiiin'iia in- iitiu u.'vjici.uiii'wti iu Shanklin. He gradually grew worse, a: d commenced le vomit, ilis skin, he said, felt as if it were being drawn up'. Among the visitors in the house wai Mr. Little, a surgeon, of the Wimbledon read Dr. Berry, of Braceudale house, which is nearly opposite te the school, opportunely arrived en the appearance of the alarming symptoms. Beth gentlemen lcmaiued in attendance until the death of the young fellow, which occurred close upon the mid night, or about four heuis after the first attack. After the youth had been carried up stairs, and lay in intense agony, he cursed his brother-in-law, and cried out, "lie has done for me this time.' The de-1 ceased bore a most exemplary character, ' and was never known te use such language prier te this occasion. Suspicious of the cause of his condition, the medical men took ca;e te prcscrve a portion of the' vomit, which liicy retain, pending the ic-1 ceipt of an eider te conduct a pest-mortem examination. Befeie putting the sugar in the capsule i Mr. Lamson stirred some in the sherry te take away the alcoholic cllcct. Shortly after he quitted the house a railway porter arrived at school with a present of money which Mr. Lamson :had forgotten te give te the deceased. Mr. Lamson lefc a box of the capsules en the table, and since the death it has been found also le contain a number of white coated pills. Mr. Lamson, who is a licentiate of the Heyai college of physicians, Ediubnrgh, was for some time resident at lletherficld and was medical officer of the Rotherfield and Mayfield orphanages. He was assist ant surgeon ei the French ambulance corps at the siege of Paris, was a sttrgcen in the Servian army in 1870-77, and served under the Russian Bed Cress in the fol lowing years. Lamson is well known in Bornemeuth, having practised some eighteen months in the town, which he left about six months since. He was for some time lieutenant in the local artilltry corps, and took a premiueat part in the St. Jehn's ambulance association. lie stated that he was an M. D. of Paris, had served as a military sur geon during the France-German and Russe-Turkish wars and had been in Paris during the Commune. Further, he claim ed te have had conferred upon him the Legien of Hener, the Iren Cress of Prus sia, the Order of the Medjidie, and the Star of Roumania ; and among the testi menials he presented was one cenvqp ing the thanks of the Princess of Roumania for services as inspector of military I103 pitals. Hurled With Dilflculiy. The t' eft of the body of the late Earl of Balcarrcs from the family tomb near Ab erdeen has recalled the siugular succession of difficulties under which it was removed from Florence. The body was placed within three coffins, the inner oue being of soft Italian weed, the middle ene of lead, and the outer ene of oak. In her solicitude for the safe conveyance of the remains of her husband, the dowager countess gave instructions that a casket of walnut should be made within which the thiee coffins were deposited. On the top of this casket was a cress carved in high relief. The conveyance of the remains across the Alps was a work of very great difficulty, but under the care of the cenfi denliil servant of deceased they reached France in safety. A small steamer was chat tered te convey the body te Londen.and she encountered such a violent gale in cross ing the channel that the coffin had te be lashed en deck. The removal te Aber deen was safely efl'ectcd.but here another difficulty presented itself. Ne hearse large enough te held the outer coffin could be procured, and the outer shell had te be removed. It was, however, deposited in the crypt alongside the three coffins in which the remains were encased. On the day that the body was removed from Aberdeen te Dunccht one of the most violent snow storms ever experienced in Scotland broke out, and te such a depth did the snow accumulate that en the return journey the hearse was imbedded in the wayside, and remained for several days before it could be removed te Aber deen, and the men who accompanied it suf fered gieat hardship. Deer limiting lu rciMisylvauia. Tiencsta Democrat. Byren Ceburn killed his first deer yes terday afternoon, lie had been out but a few hevrs. This is doing well for a boy only 15 years old. Mr. Shay, of Sugar Lake, passed through town ee day last week from the Blue Jay hunting grounds with six fine deer. lie had been out but a few days. One day he scented four and the next day two. A Mr. German, living near Braccvillc, en the old Pettigrew farm, went out hunt ing one day last week, lie had geed luck. He was bound te get a deer. He saw ene at a distance. He banged away and it dropped dead, and great was his joy. He rushed up te get his prize, when beheld he discovered that he had killed his best cow. Se far the hunters have been extremely lucky. The party under the captainship of Frank B. Bleed have caught but three deer, but Bleed says he has a dozen mere pasturing in the weeds which he intends te bring in before long. The misses re ported are : Wakenight, two one running and one standing shot.

After looking at each ether awhile, both started oil' in opposite directions. The doe get tired and Yarucll the u buck fever." A Nejji'e Conjurer Aim tally Shet. Hampton Price a negre conjurer and se called doctor, was fatally shot in Franklin, Va., under peculiar circumstances. He had become hard up i:i his own neighbor hood, and came tli.-iete better his for tune. He professed te be a conjurer and doctor of wonderful skill, and an aged negre in well te de circumstances became greatly interested in him. Te tins man Price said that the advance of half a dollar would secure a chain which would lead i iiwiipi t lliifl mini tC niiMPit ffrklil tfi the neighborhood. The sum was promptly ; paid and the chain obtained, but its owner ! was net able te find the mine of wealth premised. He returned te Price and de manded the leturn of his money, which was refused. The town sergeant renewed the demand, but Price again refused, and enforced his refusal with a black-jack, in flicting painful wounds upon the officer. The latter then drew his pistol and shot the conjurer in the back as he was run ning. tlratu.nl Slaves. An old man named Weeds, who was once a wealthy citizen of Kentucky counting fifty negrees among his assets, is new living in Cincinnati in happy depen dence upon the charity of a colored man and his two sisters who were Mr. Weed's slaves before the war. It is net piccisciy a heaping of coals or lire upon his head, for the three negrees feel that they ewe him a debt of gratitude which they can never lep.iy. They are the 'members of a family separated at the auction block but rcpuicliastd at a round price and reunited by Mr. Weeds under his own reef after much trouble and delay. The war stripped him of everything except their faithful aflcctien, in the enjoyment of which he is uew passing a serene old age. That Settled It. A Leng Istand woman, being convinced that her cud was near and being unduly solicitous about the fate of her six chil dren, implored her husband te marry her younger sister. IIe premised te de se after the funeral, aud the sister was equal ly accommodating, but the sick woman was afraid that they might net be as geed as their word. She entreated them te give a dying woman the consolation of knowing that her children would certainly be cher ished after her departure. Wern out with her importunity, they finally consented te be married at once. When everything was settled te her satisfaction she deiived se much contentment from contemplating the future of her little ones that she rapidly convalesced. DRY GOODS. SPECIAL.
