Bayard, died at 4::in o'clock this afternoon at Karlstein. the summer residence of his daughter. Mrs. Samuel D. Warren, after an illness of six weeks. His death was without pain. His wife, Iiis two daughters?Mrs War? ren and Miss Florence Bavnrd? and his son. Thomas F., Jr.. saw him draw his last breath, and his third daughter, the Countess Lauenhaup, was on her way to Dedham. The remains will be conveyed to Delaware, and the funeral services will be held Saturday in the old Swedish church in Wilmington. A consultation of physicians was held August 2(1. and they agreed that Mr. Bayard was suffering from nrtoiie colorosis and a general breaking down, incident to age. He suffered no pain to any noticeable degree, ami the chief tendency was to sleep. Tomorrow the body will be sent to Delaware, being due to arrive at Wilmington late Fri? day afternoon. SKETCH OF HIS LIFE Thomas Francis Bayard was u dis? tinguished member or ;m eminent fam? ily. Since long before the Revolution? ary war, the Bayards have been con? spicuous in the country's history as patriots and statesmen, and many ac? quired national tame as jurists. He was born in Wilmington. Del.. October 29. 1S2S, and was a younger son. He began life as a clerk in a mercantile establishment, but abandoned this and studied law, being admitted to the bar In 1851. He Immediately began the practice of his profession with his fath? er, and was successful from the begin? ning. In 18511 he was appointed United States district attorney for Delaware, but resigned in the following year. In 1855 Mr. Bayard removed to Philadel? phia, where be formed a legal co-part? nership with William Shippen. Tills I connection lasted five years, being ter- I minuted by the death of Mr. Shippen. Mr. Bayard, on the death of ids part? ner, returned to Wilmington, where was needed by hlsXfather who was then engrossed with public duties. When the war qV the rebellion began, Mr. Bayard waa/pursnlng his profes? sion. With the flyst mutterlngs of war i the people of Wljfinlngton^ set about, es- j JAM ES ROW BOTTOM. Member Newjort News Board Fire Commissioners. tablishing means of self protection, military company was organized and Thomas F. Bayard was elected as its first lieutenant. DENOUNCED THE AVAR. In June, 1861, the famous peace meet ing of citizens was held at Dover, and Lieutenant Bayard was one of the principal speakers. He denounced the war, and his remarks on lhat occasion have been quoted in later years as an argument against his availability as Presidential candidate. Meanwhile Mr. Bayard's popularity in his native State kept growing rapid ly. and in 1S68 he was elected to succeed his father in the United States Senate and was subsequently twice re-elected It is noteworthy that on the day was elected to the Senate for the full term his father (who bad resigned) was also elected a senator from Dela ware to serve for the unexpired part of his original term. This is the only case of a father and son being voted for by the same legislature to fill the sena^ torial office. A LEADER IN THE SENATE. Almost at the outset of his senatorial career Mr. Bayard took a leading posi? tion on the Democratic side. When the Democratic national con? vention was held in 18S0 his friends rallied In force to secure his nomina? tion for the Presidency, and such was their strength and the popular feeling for him that on the first ballot he stood next to Hancock, who was nomi? nated on the second. In the Democratic convention of 1884, at which Mr. Cleveland was nomi? nated. Mr. Bayard received the next largest vote to the successful candi? date on the two ballots which were taken. As soon as the result of the national election or 18S4 was positively known, Mr. Bayard was the first Democratic statesman invited to consult- with, President-elect Cleveland, and it was generally understood that he was the first man offered a place in the cabinet ?and a leading place at that, This he finally accepted. At the close of Mr. Cleveland's administration Mr. Bayard returned to private life and to his legal profession. In March, 189.1. Mr. Bayard was ap? pointed ambassador to the court of St. James, and served during Mr. Cleve- land's second term. Mr. Bayard's first wife died during the first year of his term as secretary of state. Four years later he was mar? ried to Miss Mary W. Clymer. of Washington, who survives him. Seven o- the children are living as follows: Mrs. Samuel D. Warren, of Boston; Miss Annie Bayard, Miss Florence Bayard, the Countess Lauenhaup, for? merly Miss Nellie Bayard; James 'A. Bayard; Thomas F. Bayard, Jr.; and Philip Francis ^.ivard. 198.

Sept. 28.?Influences affecting individual properties furnish? ed th? motive for today's irregular price movement. The bears. Hushed with the recent successes attempted to make it interesting for their opponets at the outset and effected a break In tobacco and sugar, but the latter stock rebounded strongly and ended at the top. Absorption of the standard divi? dend stocks has been in progress lately by interests capable of holding them until the general situation became clearer, and outside confidence regard? ing the tendency of the money market was restored. Consequently the ap? parent diminution in the floating sup? ply in many directions. Dullness'fol? lowed the rise and little interest devel? oped until the late session when tobac? co was savagely attacked and extensive short lines were put out elsewhere. Tobacco, which reached a level frac? tionally abveo last nighfs slumod 7 points to 127 1-2 and the market for rubber and some other stocks was cut away. The demoralization in tobacco forced holders to sacrifice their inter? ests elsewhere in order to meet the ur? gent demands by commission houses for additional margins. The success of the bear party in causing the current demoralization in sugar and tobacco caused considerable nervousness and uncertainty among security holders. The steadiness of the money market during the flurry and the report that the government would disburse on October 1?. anticipating November Interest amounting to $4.2r,0 000 on the threes, fours and fives failed to che k the selling movement. Final dealings were very feverish but last prices ruled above the lowest with the declines exceeding a point, mainly in the industrials. _ Spoi ulation in railway mortgage's was attended with increased animation and lower prices. The total sales of stocks today were 417.4110 shares. Afcl-ison.

THE REFORMERS HAPPY l in y K.xpreKx TheniHelvcH aa HflnK Uuull denl of Victory. The KIT. ct of Y? tenlnj'K Wunlilugion Ntwu. Other Mattem. To borrow an expression common In the rural sections of Old Virginia in the days before the war, the now ilis uniteii Republicans of Elizabeth city county "are ill a stew;" and basing the opinion upon present indications, they will be in the soup before the end of the second week in next November. To say that the party, heretofore prac? tically of one mind w ith respeca to the right and wrong of the row between Colonel Itowden and Or. Wise, is divi? ded, is to state the case in terms of exceeding mildness. The leaders do not attempt to deny that .so far as harmony is concerned they are stand? ing on the dizzy heights of political despair. And yet. despite the fact that they are sorely puzzled as to the course to pursue, they are hopeful. Like the il? lustrious Micawber, they are waiting with all the patience they are able to summon for something to turn up, re? gardless of the fact that day by day the prospects of a happy consumma? tion of their hopes is suffering more and more from tiie same woes that threat? ened 10 annihilate the Micawberian wardrobe. When, however, it is said that they are hopeful, the reader must understand that each side is nursing the cheerful delusion that one of these days Major McKinley will turn the national foolkiller loose with the dou? ble-leaded admonition to demolish the other crowd instanter. The lines be? tween tiie two factions here are now clearly drawn. At the head of one of them is the Hon. Harry Libbey, who no matter what others may say, might have had the Congressional nomination by simply crooking his little linger. Hut that is neither hero nor there. Mr. l-.ihbey is leading the Wise contingent. wYii'iS 34Jv H. Warden, also a politi? cian of m\>re"thah"aV?H^^'^n?inpJdah meiits. is furnishing the eurreTft for ihS trolh y on the Uowden line. The Lib beyites claim upon what appears to be fairly good authority, that the action recently taken by the National Con? gressional Committee has already re? ceived Presidential endorsement and in due time Mr. Hanna will surprise the Dardenites by making an acquiescent bow. On the other hand, however, the Dardenites pooh-pooh tEis assertion as absurd, and maintain that Senator Manna has more weight in the presence of Mr. McKinley than Mr. Hull or any other man of his committee. They believe that he is with them, and as it is commonly reported that he has a pull of amazing dimensions, they look for an order from the White House, addressed to the Congressional Com? mittee, to reverse the proceedings of a few weeks ago. Yesterday, however, news came from Washington, via the Richmond Dis? patch, which had the effect of some? what depressing the Wise men, while it produced an agreeable shortening up of faces in the ranks of the Dardenites. The Dispatch's alert and sagacious cor? respondent furnished the interesting in? formation that a poll of the Congres? sional Committee had disclosed the fact that Colonel Bowden has a safe majority of its members. This means of course, if the statement may be re? lied upon, that w hen "tiie whole commit? tee is called together the action taken by the executive committee, of which Mr, Hull is chairman, will be turned (opsy-turvy, and Mr. Holland, the Bowden candidate, will be authorized to proclaim the party shibboleth. This news, as above remarked, had a depressing effect upon the Wise men. It was but temporary, hogever. A marked recuperation 'beeameSapparent during the afternoon, and as the shades of night drew on the doughty doctor's followers appeared to have re? gained their normal condition of con? fident joviality. An assuring message came from Mr. Hull announcing that Mark and William are all right and that any report to the contrary is all wrong. With this information before them it did not take the Wise men long to explain the story in the Dispatch. It was promptly declared to be of Spanish origin. The Congressional committee going buck on Wise! Not muc h! It was plain to be seen that the report had been hatched and started out to frighten some one. but it didn't work. And thus it is that each side is sure that it is right and the other is wrong. IJui. now, kind reader, let the Repub? licans rest for a moment or two and turn to the other camp. The Demo? cratic party is not divided in the sense of having a dual organization on hand. Moreover, its members are still able and willing to give the Jackso-Jefferso nian yell on short notice. But scores of them who have stood in the ranks in the thickest of the fights of other years have taken a tack In a new di? rection within the past six weeks. Their war-cry is for better local gov? ernment, and open and square admin tion of public affairs and a new police force, all of which, when care? fully analyzed, means a good deal. They hold that disordered local condi? tions require for the moment an aban? donment of party o-bligations and they declare themselves ready to make the sacrifice unless the candidates named for next spring are men who can be depended upon to stand up for a faith? ful enforcement of the law. It was this spirit of determined independence that gave rise to the independent movement which began to attract at? tention a month ago, and which, al? though quietly conducted. is daily growing in importance. It is the earn? est desire of those who are at the head of it that both the old parties will put up faultless tickets. In the event.howev er, that this is not done, the reform? ers will nominate a ticket of their own, endorsing such men on tne Democrat? ic and Republican tickets as, In their judgment, are worthy of the support of law and order-loving cuizens. Within a fortnight they will issue an address, clearly setting forth their position and their principles. MR. LOSHE EXPLAINS. Mr. Reese Will be Called Cpon to Do So Later. Mr. George Loshe. of Newport News, wno, as long as it was in existence, was the manager of the Hampton Roads Social Club, says that the mem? bers of that organization, which dis? banded some time last May. are In no way responsible for the violations of the liquor laws, alleged to have occurred at the club-house on the boulevard during the past few weeks. The Hampton Roads club, he says. was started as a bona-lldo affair, but the members failed to patronize it. and af? ter a month or two it was decided to {jive up the project. As the building had been leased for a year the idea of sub-letting it to someone woo desired to start a proper wayside amusement place occurred to his mind. A man named Reese was found who agreed to take it, and Mr. Loshe shook hands with himself and returned to his post of duty in Maokey's restaurant. No one suspected, he says, that Reese in? tended to run an unlicensed gin mill, which he is accused in a warrant now In the hands of Officer Diestil with doing. Air. Diestil, in company with Consta? ble John E. Tignor and Mr. Claude Wood, of this city, paid their first visit to the place about two weeks ago on Sunday. They went in citizen's attire and their object was to lind out what was going on in the so-called club? house. Fortune favored them. Mr. Reese. "Officer Diestil says, met them with a smile, at no time suspecting them of being local Hawkshaws. They purchased cigars and drinks. Mr. Diestil doesn't drink anything stronger than coca cola, but the other gentle? men modestly aver that the beverage they bought was beer. A week or so later the officer paid another visit lo the club-house, attended by "several friends, and further purchases were made. After this, additional evidence was deemed unnecessary and a warrant, was sworn out. Mr. Reese's concern is not the only one In the county that is known to have been selling liquor in violation of the law and no one need be surprised that another has been numbered among the transgressors before the week closes.

During the Crimean war Lord Raglan was most conciliatory in his conduct and language to the Fronch, but unluckily from old peninsular associations he wits now and then betrayed into speaking of them as "the enemy." "If we are placed hero and the enemy are posted thero"? "Good heavens, my lord!" Lord de Ros would cry, "What are you saying?" He was also particularly desirous of establish? ing cordial relations botween the English and Turkish armies and was much dis? turbed at a quarrul which took place bo? tween soino of the soldiers. When the com? batants were dispersed, one or two Turk? ish soldiers wore left lying doad. Lord do Ros was sent to the grand vizier to express Lord Raglan's concorn and to promise that every effort should bo made to find out and punish the guilty persons. On his beginning to lament an unfortu I nate occurrence the Turk looked anxious, 'but on the matter being broken to him ho I exclaimed with great relief: "Is that all? What can it matter if they aro killed or not?" Lord do Ros returned to Lord Rag? lan, and in answer to his anxious inqui? ries he replied: "It is all rigiit.

Tiie Hugo Norway Rat Gradually Driving the EnslisU acd the Alexaudrlau Ko deut? Inland Fierce Canulbalinm Among the Savage Animals. Nuturo. originally intended that ttio brown rat sliould hnvo one part of trie earth for its habitation, the black rat an? other section and the white bellied rodents s, third division. While these great na? tions overlapped euch other a little, their boundaries wore pretty arbitrarily Used by the great oceans and other largo bodies of water. A colony of powerful rats might swim across the straits and channels sep? arating two islands and thus take posses? sion of a now country for their descend? ants, hut they could not hope to cross the Atlantic or Pucillo and journey unaided from England to America or from this country to Australia. So it was that the ships of men brought about the lirst great change in the distri? bution of rats. From the first tho rats took to ships as ducks tuko to water. They found grain, provisions and water in tho hulls of tho old wooden ships of two cen? turies ago, ami ewer since then they have reared a raco of hardy seamen that know tho ways of the ocean as well as any .lack Tar. They havo been traveling hack and forth to all parts of the earth for many centuries now, und they have created great changes in the rat populat ion of the globo. This country never had any typical rats until the old black English rat. came over hero on tho ships of the curly colonists. According to the best authorities, this ro? dent originally came from India, from which it has penetrated to every part of the habitable globe. Wherever ships go those black rats are found. In three cen? turies they havo penetrated to every main? land and island of the tropical, kunperato and urotio zones They have become fa? miliar objects on all ships that traverse tho seas, ami they are tho wharf rats of every seaport. In tempera to regions the English black rat. is of a bluish black, but, in trop? ical countries it. is often several shades lighter. It is about sovon or eight inches long, with a tail about one inch longer than its body. For two centuries this English black rat held undisputed sway on tho ships of the world's commercial navies, and they distributed themselves over tho greater part of the world's surface. Then vrradu ally thorn appeared upon tho seas another rnt, differing materially from tho blank rat. This alien creature had a black body with a white holly. Sometimes thu body was a reddish gray, which made tho crea? ture look larger and fiercer than it really was. A trifle larger and stronger than tho black rat, the white bellied or Alexandrian rat mado war upon tho English rodents Tho two would never ship upon tho same vessel. There would be a war to tho death before tho ship left port, and after that the successful race would hold undisputed sway on that, particular vessel. This now raco.of rats camo from the tropical conn, tries. Every ship chat started from Gala? pagos, Keeling or Ascension island was 6tiro to carry away with it a company of tho white bullied rats. They would board tho ship as soon as she was tied up at. tho wharf, and tho English black ruts would bo ruthlessly destroyed. Then tho fiercer Alexandrian rata would sail away to un? known ports. It soon became evident *tinrS?they liked warm countries, and they refused* to ffrr^l at any except a tropical port. Thus tl?3y~fl*toj|l,ri;'ld. tl> nearly all tropical countries, espR^ti., *n y?ut" America and our southern snnS?^v22av'n8 the colder oountrloa for tholr blacTTrlvSi& But more recently a third race of rats has appeared upon tho ships, and these threaten to exterminate and displace both the black and Alexandrian rdflonts. This brown or Norway rat is a native of China and tho interior of Asia. It is a huge, ferocious creature, and wherever it. goes It destroys nil competitors and takes com? plete possession of tho ships or wharfs. In its native land it is a large, powerful rodont, and upon tho ships it. attains oven a larger size. Its length is from oight to nine inches, and its body is built on heavy linos. Neither tho black nor Aloxandrian rat is any match for it. So far this largo brown rat has extended its dominion largoly over cold countries, and it has ooruo in contact chielly with the English black rat. But in tho warm countrlos whoro it hns been artificially introduced it has quickly supplanted all rivals. Today the black rats are not found In numbers on vessels sailing from any ports where tho brown ar Norway rats havo be conio cstablshod. Gradually they are be? ing forced inland by their more powerful enemies, and, while we And the brown rats mostly on ships, along wharfs and in tho eewors, tho black rats are met with in houses under rufters and ceilings. Ships leaving port for a long cruise ex tentlingover a period of a year or two havo been known to como into port, again with a cargo of rats so largo that tho seamen wero unable to put thorn down. Others have been taken possession of by tho rats and the sailors forced to abandon their vessel at sea. So voracious und ferocious are tho big brown ruts that they do not hesitate to attack tho sailors when pinched for food. Consequently, whilo tho sailors liko to havo rats as company on board tho ship, they exorcise precaution to limit their numbers. On sailing vessels that are out at sea for u long time there uro rat killing days, when all tho sailors join forces to destroy the too numerous rodents. The rats not only proYo dangerous to human life when allowed to multiply at will on shipboard, but they aro a constant menace to the oargo. There is a rolontloss cannibalism prao ticed among tho rats themselves, and this also helps to koop down their numbers. The largest rats do not hesitate to kill und devour tho wenker ones. Thus if tho English block rats woro shipped aboard with Wie big brown rats tho latter would soon kill tho former and out thorn. Sim? ilarly if a dozen brown rats woro confined In a cage tho stronger would soon devour tho weakor and then fight savagely among themselves for supremacy. When drifting tbout upon tho soas on u disabled wreck, tho sailors faco a danger from tho ship rats that grows more menacing as tho days go by. If the ship bocomes water? logged, tiie rats tiro forced to seek safety on tho upper docks, and, thus cut off from their food in the hold, they wutoh eagerly tho starving sailors. They become bolder and Honor us tho men grow weakor, and one day if relief does not como a fearful tragedy is euuoted on the wreck_New York Sun. It In Queor. Little Boy?Isn't fathers queer?
