The ordinary life of a commercial trav
eler for 4 wholesale drag house is generally
uneventful ana a romance writer would
scarcely select so solid a man of business
for a hero of a thrilling story, or sensational
narrative. The subject of this sketch,
Waller ttuir, was an Englishman, whose
refined widow and family, since tbe death
of the head of the bouse, has resided at 113
bom bara street, FUiladelphuu Walter
Muir was born In Manchester, England,
and was about 60 years old at the time of
nta ceatn. tie was probably tbe nest known
drug salesman in the world, having fol
lowed traveling as a vocation in both Eng
land and thia country. He was particu
larly well anown in all the large cities of
the South, ra many of which he had num
bers oi warm personal friends who will re
call him with pleasant recollections.
Shortly alter his arrival here he con
nected himself with the well- known
house of French, Richards & Co., of Phil
deiphia, and soon displayed such remarka
ble aDiiity ior selling goods, ana making
profits, that he commanded a larger salary
than any salesman ever received in this
country in this line of business. He was a
man of splendid physical appearance, and
most engaging manners, endowed with
many intellectual accomplishments, and
was a first-rate classical scholar, an author
of several publications; Including "Inspira
tional Character displayed." which was
largely read by spiritualists, in which faith
Mr. Muir was a firm believer.
Mr. Muir had a peculiar magnetism about
him he could take orders when no one
else could. His services being in great de
mand he was several times, induced to
change his positions, being employea suc
cessively dv Messrs. A. ii. Bands s uo., rt.
i., the late firm of tj. J. Fell & Bro.. and
Wm K. Warner & Co. . of Philadelphia, and
J. Lewis et Co., Mew Orleans, which latter
firm wrote Mr. M , upon his resigning from
their employ: "We cont'der you nearer
to our ideas of what should constitute
commercial traveler than any man we have
ever met. x his opinion has been formed
after years of observation. M
tAf er Mr. Muir became a convert to spirit
ualism be formed an intimate acquaintance
with the well-known Uelva Liockwood,
of Washinetoe, D. C, the Woman's Rights
candidate for President of the United Slates
aud who was a prominent spiritualist. Mrs.
Lockwood was employed by Mr. Muir as
an attorney to look after some property
coming to hun In England. The following
is an extract from a letter from this cele
brated woman to Mr Muir: "I have been
to see Mrs. Uatlie J, French and have had
a long sitting wl h her for you in the
presence of a friend who is entirely disin
terested, as far as your matters are con
cerned. She was controlled by
bpanlsh spirit, named lienlto, I believe, a
business spirit, who has promised me
valuable assistance for you. but says the
will not help you, or answer your ques
tions, nor send you any information what
ever: that I, and no o .her, am to do the busi
neas; that the information will be given to
me alone; that suit is already begun;: that
explicit directions have been given and
will continue to be given to me; that you
are not to make an ttrort to recover lu but
you are to return to New York, furnish me
with the means to visit England on yonr
behalf, and bfore I start enter upon a bond
to pay to the medium and myself jointly
the sum of 600 pounds, in the presence of
three witnesses, belore this property
placed in your hands, but not, however.
until it is adjudged to be due to you. This
is not a creation of my brain, bat a bona
fide spirit communication. 1 send yon the
testimony of the friend who heard as I did
the remarkable communications and proph
ecies given to me."
A reporter was conversing with Mrs.
Muir recently, when the lady went, over her
husband's interesting history, and during
the talk she told him how she had been
completely cured of utter prostration and
weakness by using Brown's Iron Bitters.
Mrs. Muir then remarked: "My young
est son, George Kerf oot Muir, who is
nanud after the Episcopal Bishop Kerf oot,:
of Pittsburg, was dreadfully fsick
and Brown's Iron Bitters completely cured
him after he had taken six bottles. lie
had worms, could nut sleep, and got as
thin as a rail. Me also had malaria; and

pounds in weight, but sained 11 pounds
soon after he commenced taking Brqwn'a
iron niuers. ms sain is now clear and
his appetite splendid. That remedy had
really a wonderful effect on him. and I am
confident that Brown's Iron Bitters saved
his life. My son can now attend to his
business without losing any time, but bu-
rore he. commenced taking Brown's iron
Sitters he could do no work whatever. He
gained : in fl.sh and strength with every
bottle he took; and is now entirely well. I
think Brown' lion Bitters is the flaest
tonic in tbe world." .
Rev G.W. Gffley, New Berne, N.i O.,

aud consider It one of the best medicines
known." i

"I took' Brown's Iron Bitters while suffer
ing intensely with dyspepsia. 1 am entirely
free from it now and attribute my recovery
mainly to the use of this, valuable medi-
Mr. J. D. Buttenfield, Retdsville, N. O.,
says : "My wife's mother was in feeble
health for twenty years; skilled physicians
failed to relieve. Brown's Iron Bitters
benefited he wondei fully, and she recom
mends it to others for complication of dis
eases." i ; 1
Miss Margaret M- Pope, Rich Square, N.
C., i says : "I suffered with dyspepsia,
nervousness and soreness of lungs. Brown's
Iron Bitters relieved me and restored my
former health. I have every reason to

Desperate Attack a
(aaa la Tmaneeata avisw.
New York World.
Mrs. William HumporeT, tht rieh
California widow whose husband was con
nected with the Big Bonansa mine and
who estimates her wealth at millions, was
attacked; and almost gorroted in We6t
Thirteenth street Wednesday. Her reticule,
oontaining $500 in cheeks and as muoh;
more cash, was snatched from her hand
ripped apart, bat owing to the lady's hero
ism and the ready assistanoa of several
other ladies and gentleman passing by she!
lost only $70.
Mr. Humphrey is a tall and beautiful
woman about thirty-five years old, al
though she appears muoh jounger Siaoe
the death of her husband some years ago
she has resided in San Franoisoo, where
she owns a handsome residehoe. She
arrived in this city only a few days ago,
and took up her residenea with a friend at
No. 244 West Thirteenth street. This
part of that thoroughfare is thoroughly
respectable, and the tiles of the street are
lined wholly with the most fashionable
of private houses.
At noon yesterday Jars. Humphrey
left her " residence to cash cheeks and do
some shopping. She placed her eash and
checks in a retiouie. She first went tb
M toy's and purobaied several small pres
ents for Christmas and then cashed f 500
worth of eheoks. It was then her inten
tion to go to t iffny's and buy jewelry
and silverware for Christmas presents, but
noticing, as she orossed Fifth avenue and
Fourteenth stree', that three y ouag men
were keeping elose to her, and suspecting
that they had seen her cash heir ohecks,
she again return to Maey's. It ,wsj 1.30
o'clock before she again eame out on the
street, and the three young mitt were at
her heels.
One of her followers Mrs. Humphrey
describes as almost a boy, with a white
oo lor! cm foe, dressed in fairly giod
olothes and earning a light stiok in his
hand. The two others walked leisurely
along behind their companion and seemed
to be engaged in a very earnest coaversi-
tioo. One of them was about 18 years
old, with a Villainous east of oouotenanoe
and attired in the rough clothes of i
stableman, while his eompaaion, a sallow-
faced oonsamptive-iookifig individual, was
arrayed in tbe style of a Bowery rumm.
The three men eroded sixth avenue be
hind Mrs. Humphrey.
Mrs. Humphrey harried across town
eorfident that she woa'.d reaoh her home
before the rnffins attacked her. When
she crossed Seventh avenus the dret man
came nearer to her, and the -others had
dosed np and began to wrangle. Mrs.
Humphrey held the satohel cnataining the
money in her hand, when j the first man
touched; her on the shoulder and said, in
an inquiring tone of voice, 44 1 believe this
is Thirteenth street 7"
lt is," Mrs. Humphrey replied, calmly
"and you land yonr friend behind had
better pass along." T
' Without aco'her word the desperado
threw the lady against the iron railing oi
one of the bouse and nisaed .: Miet go
that bag or 1 il beat your , brains out on
the railing." Mrs Humphrey shot out her
right arm and caught the villain by the
collar, while she clung to her retiouie
with the other hand. The two other men
now sprang forward and: bint j tin lady
backward j over . the railug, while she
screamed for assistance and clang to the
retiouie.!' The inside poatet of the reti
eale was towards the lady and ; the side
from wbiah the lady's 13 handkerohie!
protruded was towards the three men
The retiouie was torn in half and one of
the men snatched the Jiandkerehief side
aad Aid. j .
The other tw) mbn fought desperately
and the lady held the other side of the
bsg stubbornly. Her black silk' wrap was
torn and her bonnet crushed. ; There is
no doubt that the diamoadi in the lady's
ears would soon have been ripped away
had ot one of the windows ot a house
opposite suddenly lifted : and white
apioned girl cried "Police, : police" The
girl who had been in the window came to
the s o op and shrieked, and several gen
tlemen who bad noticed the garroticg
rushed up Thiiteenth street. A coach
also stopped and two ladies sprang out
just as the two men fl.d.
The assault had not lasted mere than
ten seoondp, and from the time; the first
man had spoken until his companions,
followed by the two gentlemen, were
racing after him towards Sixth avenue more
than a minute had not elapsed. The
ladies from the coach went to Mrs. Hum
phrey and revived her and took her home.
The two 'gentlemen, accompanied by a
hundred other people, followed the three
desperadoes, but all escaped.
