Hi s OK UND. rf ..? \ - Tho .Remarkable Career of Colonel Rich nriliton.-llo KIIM from n Poor Hoy to be ihn Richest riMBter In th? World. Tho doath of Colonel Edmund Bloh? t?rdson, the cotton king of I ho world, Which occurred at Jackson, Miss., on Monday night, wan not un?ke tliat of William II. Vanderbilt in its sudden ness and general character. Ho left Jackson the Sunday before on a visit to Vicksburg, and his son, W. Ii. Rich ardson, who was with him lhere all dav Monday, says he had never econ his farther in better apparent health or in finer spirit*. O t li is return trip to Jackson his fellow traveler? comment* ed on his extreme jocularity. Ho ar rived at Jackson at a little before 10 o'clock Mondav night and went to supper in tho Edmunds House restau rant. Ho intended taking the 1:110 ni^ht train for New Orleans. Aller Hopper ho crossed the si reel to see to some persons who were making clothing for thc convicts which lie em ployed. A few moments later Iiis crleB for help wcro beard. Ile knock ed at the door of Nelson ['otter, a col ored man who lived next to thc Euro pean HotiRO. A colored woman opened thc door ami Colonel Richardson feebly staggered in and sank in a chair beforo thu lire. Tho frightened woman ran into the street for help, but before it came lie had tallen to thc floor dead. Tho breaking of a blood vossol in thc brain-apoplexy-is ascribed as thc cause. Several years ago thc mother of Col. Richardson, then ninety years old, was on her way from North Carolina to Jackson to spend thc holidays with her son, ami dietl on the cars just be fore reaching her destination. Col. Richardson was reported to be thc richest mun in thc South. Ho waa certainly tho richest man in this sec tion of tho South. Many years ago he was a largo planter in Mississippi, btu lost nearly all Iiis property by tho war. Ile afterwards established the linn of Richardson & May, in New Orleans, which became thu largest cotton house in thc world. It is said to have handled 120,000 balee of cotton a year, and its aggregate dealing* were put at. over $10,000,000 per annum. Col. RichareBon's personal fori une is esti mated at between $5,000,000 and $G, 000,000. Col. Richardson was thc most exten sivo planter of cotton in the world. He had seventeen thousand acres under cultivation, and his average harvest wa? twclvo or thirteen thousand bales. Ho had, besides, a largo area planted in corn, oats and millet. In ail, bc had 20,000 acres of html under cultiva tion. To the practical planter, fami* lar with the difficulties Ol cotton plant ing, these figures speak volumes. No one else can appreciate thc executive ability requisite to conduct success fully snell immense planting opera tions. Col. Richardson was born in Cas well county, North Carolina, six miles from Danville, Vs., then only a vil lage, on June 28, 1818. His father, James Richardson, was a country merchant, and planter, and died in 1820, leaving a widow and seven children. When about ten years of oge young Richardson was sent to ,vhut was called an "old field school." When the hoy was fourteen years old his mother obtained lor him a situation in Danville at $30 a year and board. That motlier must have been a woman of great loree ami character ; so anxious wa*, she that her boy should he able to save his salary that she had his clothes spun ami woven at home. Shu fur nished him with money for candy and oilier boyish necessaries of existence amt for an occasional visit to sonic passing circus. "Anti how much," ho once asked, "do you suppose 1 saved out of timi salary ? Why, just $30." After having remained in Danville four years be romoved to ( linton, Miss., when lie obtained a position at $75 a month. In a year's limo he again returned IO Virginia and ob tained a position in Brandon, und in the following fall went imo business on his own account. He soon sohl ont, however, and moved to Jackson, Miss., where lie worked as a clerk until 1840. lu that year thc executor of his mother's estate settled with him, turning over to him 2,800 in money and a few negroes. He then estab lished himself ns a merchant sm) con tinued in business at Jackson until 1818. Rv that time he had math.; about $30,000, which in those days was thought to be aline start in file. In May of that year he married Miss Patton, of Huntsville, Ala., a sister of ex-Oovcrnor Rooert Patton of that State, and engaged in planting. In I860 ho agaid went into business at Jackson with liss brother and John W. Robinson as partners, ami opened branch stores at Brandon, Canton, Morton and Newton. I ti 1852 ho entered thc cotton commission busi ness iu New Orleans, retaining Iiis plantation ami conn try store interests until 18G0, when he sold them. In person Col. Richardson was of comiiiaudiie: presence, over ?ix feet in height and stout in proportion. In Iiis domestic life lie was fortunate and happy, and he leaves behind him a widow, four sons und a daughter. Atlanta Mouthe Open. Six months ago wo had no demand for B. II.

The ltegent Park Ij?ke? tho :...?. of An other Accident-No UT?I Lost, Owing tu the Shallow Wutcr-IntoiiKO Kxi-1 lemont Throaghout I.oiulou. What might bave preved (o have buena most serious disaster accident, rivalling the disaster of 1867, occurred on the lOih inst, in Regent's Park, London. The weather was delightful, thong i a thaw had set in, ami tho laked in ihu parks wereerowded with ?katers who have bad a "royal lime" of it during tho recent severe weather throughout Great Britain, A? ilion? was a prospect (hat a I haw would soon put an end to tho sport, an unusual number of persons were enjoying themselves on tlie iee. Suddenly there waa a series ol loud, cracking reports, ami the ico on one of tho ponds gave way and at least a hundred men, women and children were submergea in the chilling water beneath. A cry ofliorroraro.se from the vast throng of people Oil tho ice and in thu neigh borhood of thc lakes, whilo those who were lucky enough to escapo made a hasty scramble tor thc shore.' Thc "life-savers" and police, assisted by hundreds of volunteers, soon pullet! out tho drenched pleasure-set ker? from amid the slabs ol' floating ice. Women and children naturally suffered thu most Iroin their involuntary cold bath, but up to thc present, thanks lo tho fact that the water was not very deop, no serious results bane been re ported. Intense excitement prevailed throughout London when thc news ol' lim accident was spread throughout thc eily, mimv recalling thc fatal lodi of January, 1867, when, in thc same park, at least two bundled people were suddenly submeigcd through thc breaking of thc ice, forty-one of whom were drowned. Previous to thc calamity of 1807 lhere were a long scries of isolai od accidents on thc icc, which did not seem to have put thc authorities upon their guard, which was crowned by one ol' fearful magnitude The icemen hud openly expressed opinions thal the icc was unsafe, being formed chiefly of melted snow, yet about ooo skaters were permitted to exercise upon it on tho afternoon in question, and over two thousand people watched I heir grace lb I movements with pleasure. Suddenly, and without any warning, the ice at the sides gave way and in a few seconds llie entire sheet split up into fragments a few yard- square. A general rush was made to tho banks, winch, unfortunately, broke up tho soft ice into smaller pieces. Scores ol skaters who had been enjoying them? selves on its surface slipped down be tween the pieces and appeared to bo at once Bucked under thc icc. A few, with great presence ol' mind, threw themselves Hat upon tho surface ol I he broken icc, and thus preserved their own lives ami were instrumental in saving others. As it was, at least 200 persons were at one limo strug gling in thc water and uttering heart? rending appeals for assistance. Thc ice-mo ii on duty, assisted by hundreds of spectators and the police, did their best to drag people to land, but in thc excitement of the first moments' sur prise many went down never to risc to the surface again alive, the slabs ol broken ice floating on top of their struggling forms. Men, women and ahilaren were seen clinging to the edtfes of tho broken ice, shouting foi insistence, which those who witnessed their suflorings were powerless b; render, and in a brief time, chilled and benumbed, sank with a lew faint waves above the water. A strong force of police was soon on tlie spoi and rendered great service in pre serving order and permitting system atic eflbrtstobc mad J for recovering thc bodies. Thc number drowned was tl ii it 11 y found to be forty-one, and thc calamity threw a feeling of sadpes? over tho entire metropolis. After this event thc newspapers were crowded willi communications suggesting plain fol' preventing the recurrei.ee of sued a disaster, among them being the fill ing up of tho lakes to a certain depth, thc latter suggestion, being acted upon shortly afterwards, and it. is doubltest due to this (iud that no lives wore losi by the recent catastrophe. Regent's Park is situated ?ii th' northern portion ot London, and covers an area of 470 acres, occupying the site of Marylebone Park, which ii the time of Queen Elizabeth was nset as a hunting ground. Regent's Pari owes its preservation to the iulciitioi of George III. to erect a royal palace within ils grounds. Thc Park con tains the iraniens of the Zool?gica Society ami of thc Royal Bot?nica Society, as well as tho grounds of ti lbw privait; villas. In summer timi t tic northern half of the park Isdovotct to cricket, and in the soothest cornel there is a flower garden (d' authjur design. Thc Artificial like, the scent of thc late accident, is situated in Hu southwest portion of thc park. .FOHN SH KUM AN KKKKTKl). Nine I il ium i nt h of th? Ohio lions?'
