LAWRENCE ll. JEBOIE.
My wu complete without ”Uncle Larry.’
As a story teller and wit his only equal in
this country was his warm personal friend,
the late William R. TNVBI‘J, and as a whole
sealed and generous gentleman there were
me who surpassed Mr. Jerome.
For many years he was one of the famous
M of jokers and wits which included
Hr. Traven, Billy Florence, the actor, and
Captain Billy Connor. Many were the proc-
ticaljokes which these good fellows played
one another. and none took them in
batta- part than Lawrence It. Jerome.
There was another side to the dead man's
M, which few but his intimate friends
knew. He gave away money in charity
with alavlsh hand,and manya poor man
has been helped along by “Uncle Larry."
The history of the Jerome family is closely
ilsutifled with that of New York in its later
days. There never was a more enterprising,
genial and patriotic citizen than Lawrence
Jamie’s brother laonard, nor one who did
more for the cause of the Union, both by
bk purse and by cheering on the
men of the north at the most critical periods
(I the civil war‘. In this work Lawrence
Jerome was an able second.
The brothers were closely identified with
yachting, horse racing and other sports, and
did asmuch as any others to improve the
head of horas in this country. Jerome
park was founded by them, and in every.
thing calculated to redound to the credit of
the dty or to promote the enjoyment of city
life the Jerome brothers were leading spirits.
For several years before his death, owing
to unfortunate Wall street speculations,
Lawrence Jerome was not in pomenion of as
large an income as he had previously been
accustomed to, but this made no difference
hi his temperament. He was always the
nine light hearted. good natured "big boy,”
whom no misfortune could sour.
hwrence Roscoe Jerome was born at
Pompey, asmall village near Syracuse, N.
Y. He was one of a family of eleven chil-
dren, of whom ton were boys When Law-
rence was 12 years oldhlsfathermovedto

farming on alarge scale on a farm owned
by Amos Hall. For several years Lawrence

every anteater. and on one occasion
and Jerome induceddhe local authorities
over night. They? claimed that be well a
murderer and that they were taking him
back to New York, where the crim- hid
been committed.
In appearance Mr. Jerome was about Ill
feet in height and stout in proportion Hi.
big face was constantly covered with a
smile, and his eyes always had a mischlelotl
twinkle.
During his lifetime Mr.‘ Jerome made
many trips abroad, visiting in London his
daughter. Lady Randolph Churchill, with
whom he was a great favorite. lie was also
welmmed into the Prince of Wales' set, and
was generally liked. Even in the shadow of
royalty he could not restrain his penchant
for joking. One time, while on a yachting
tour, he managed to procure a few sheets of
tho quwn‘s stationery and wrote out an in-
vitation to himself for a dinner at Oahorna
That night at dinner his servant brought in
an lncloaure which Jerome opened with an
ulloctutiou of indifference, saying, “0h, only
an invitation from lord Blank.“ Soon the
servant entorethith a big envelope stamped
apparently with the royal seal and crest.
The Englishmen present held their breaths
as their friend nonchalantly cut open the
package and said:
"Well, this is getting to be a born.”
“What fa itf’ was asked.
"0h! only an invitation from the queen to
dine with her majesty at Osborne."
The Englishmen gasped for breath. The
idea of an American affecting to regard an
invitation to dine with the quoen'as a born.
it was just such harndeas little pleasantrles
as these that Larry Jerome loved to indulge
in, and even to spend hours and days in con.
cocting. As he lay upon what unhapplly
proved tobe his death W, the ruling pas-
sion was strong within him, and but a week
ago, when Billy Florence went to see him,
Wearing a mustache acquired in the wilds of
Canada, he wagered him a basket of wine

FRANK GALLUP’S CRIMES.
lie Murders Two Men and, Fatally Wounds
Another-11m Assassin's Dead Body
Dragged Through the Streets.
Snuaazvnoan, la, Aug. lit-Great excite-
ment still prevails here over the terrible
tragedies of Saturday night. Hundreds of
people are still coming to the city from the
surrounding country by special trains to
visit the scene of the conflict. Continued
streams of people have been pausing all day
to and from the old Gallup residence to view
the body of the dead murderer as it lay in
the city fire engine house.
At the home of the Gallup family, consist-
ing of old Samuel Gallup, his wife, Frank
and Charlie, their two sons, Frank’s wife and
some small children, a family row was in
progress about 9o‘clock Saturday evening.
Frank and Charlie were heating the old man,
when J. Pine, a hardware merchant of this
place, William Reinlg, a drug clerk, and
Mr. Patterson, a traveling man, went to the
Gallup home to see what the trouble was
and to assist in restoring peace.
Frank Gallup, without any provocation or
warning, advanced from the house, and,
drawing a revolver, said:
”What do you want here! Take that,
d—-—- you."
He fired a shot which entered Plnm’ breast
above the heart. killing him almost instantly.
Those with Pine at once gave the alarm,
and in a very few minutes at least 500 angry
and excited citizens were at the scene of the
murder. The excitement grew so intense
that dire threats of vengeance were made
against the murderer. Frank Gallup war
known to be a desperate man when aroused,
and it wasdeerned best to call out company
E of the Fifth regiment state milltiato will
in capturing him. On the arrival of the
militia at the scene a line was formed around
the Gallup place, which included a garden
containing some tram and shrubbery. in a
short time Frank Gallup was heard by one
of the guards in the rear of the house calling
from the shrubbery in the garden to his wife
in the house. At the saute time old man
Gallup and his wife were amurlng those in
front of the house that their son Frank was
not there, but had tied, and invited them to
enter and search the house and satisfy them
selves of the truth of their statentcma
Having no auspicon of treachery, Bert
,Itice, Dave Campbell, T. B. Patterson, a
Chicago traveling man, T. H. Winfrey and
others of the military company and citizens
went to the house. They had searched the
cellar and were caning out of it when Frank

Manon, Aug. lit—Mr. Parnell’e move in
prosecuting his suit against The Times in the
Scotch courts is one which yields advantages
which he could not by any possibility secure
in any other part of the kingdom. The
Scotch law does not require proof of publicav
tion as the basis of an action, as is the case
in England, nor does it require that the jury
should be unanimous in its verdict, a majority
of three jurors being sudlcient todetermine
an issue. The bringing of the action in
Scotland meets the approval of all of the
Parneliitee and most of the Liberals.
Concerning the matter, Mr. James Bryce,
Libimd member for Aberdeen, says in his
paper, The Weekly Dispatch, that every
friend of Mr. Parnell is confident that it will
be the means of frustrating the infamous
star chamber proccedings authorized by the
commission, and cannot fail to result in the
irish leader’s full vindication.
Mr. Parnell has retained Rt. Hon. John B.
Balfour, member for Clackmaunan, and llr.
Alexander Asher, Q. 0., member for Elgin.

duct of the case.
The facts in thocase of harry Donovan,
the bridge jumper, as they gradually become
known, are exciting is great deal of sympathy,
a little of which, had it been bestowed upon
the unfortunate young man at the proper
time, would doubtlem have saved his life
lie had for some time breaded over his Ill
luck, and to allay the dimppointment he felt
at the poor reception he met with in Eng-
land began to drink heavily. This course
soon reduced him to the neoemity of fre-
quenting the lowest clan of looting houses
and obtaining food as best he could. 0n the
Saturday previous to his death Donovan got
into a drunken quarrel, and in the fight
which canted had both his eyes blackened
and his body badly bruised. lie continued
his spree until Tuesday morning, meanwhile
visiting the vilest resorts and bragging about
his daring feats Finally he accepted a
challenge to jump from Bungerford bridge
for a purse of £10, with the stipulation that
should he fail to perform the feat without
injury to himself he was to receive nothing.
He immediately repaired to the bridge,
drunk as he was, accompanied by the other
parties to the wager. Be removed nothing
but his coat, and hurriedly leaped from the
footpath into the water, which he struck on
hh side or stomach. He immediately sunk,
and was seen no more until his body was
picked up at Deptford. No boat was pro-
vided for his nuance or rescue, and his
companions disappeared as soon as they die
covered that the jumper was beyond the
reach of help.
A strong protest is being made against the
antiquated drafting acts which are revived
with the local government bill, and this sub
ject will furnish the theme for a great many
races speeches. Meanwhile Mr. Ritchie,
president of the local government board,
and his secretary, are about to lane a hand-
book outlining a new scheme which it is
hoped will he more acceptable.
