For four years Mr. Keene has been In ill health and two years ago he was reported to be on his deathbed in .London. Koxhall Keene, a son, was with his ;father at the end. Mr. Keene had made and lost several fortunes during his activities in the stock market. His latest market coup was the formation of a pool in Columbus and Hocking in 1910. The pool -collapsed and later it was charged ;that Mr. Keene had sold out his holdings causing heavy loss to fall upon lis financial colleagues.

Born in England. Mr. Keene was born in London and teame to this country in 1852 after his jfather lost his fortune. He settled in 'California and despite his brilliant leducation he was compelled to take Sork tending horses in Fort Reading, (then a frontier post.

Returning to San Francisco he beigan speculating in mining stocks and oon amassed a fortune of over $6,WOO.OOO. Soon afterwards he married Sarah, p. daughter of Col. Leroy Daingerfield bf Virginia, who was temporarily living in California. Keene came East and shortly afterward the famous Wall Street war between him and Jay Gould broke out. Keene lost everything he had, including his . household effects. He was not discouraged however, and soon got together another large fortune. He lost again when he elected to corner wheat. Later he recouped by forming a pool In National Cordage. He also figured in the sensational raid in Brooklyn Rapid Transit in 1900 when lie made many millions. The turf always attracted Keene and for years his stable was the foremost in America. Some of his famous horses were Sysonby, Colin, Ballot, Voter I., Voter II., Celt, Disguise II., and Domino. Mr. Keene is survived by two children, Foxhall and Mrs. Talbot J. Taylor. Wall street, who knew Keene intimately, estimated his fortune at ?40,-.000,000.

ROCKEFELLER BUYS A BROliK STATUE The Work of Miss Janet Scudder, a Former Richmond Girl.

John D. Rockefeller, the oil king, believes in patronizing good atrists. That is one reason why he has purchased a bronze fountain of Miss Janet Scudder, the Bculptor, who is a former Richmond girl. The bronze fountain is to be placed in a little rustic corner of his estate at Pocantico Hills. Miss Scudder, who boasts of Richmond as her home has been pursuing her life work in Paris. She has attracted world-wide attention by her work in bronze. At the present 6he is in New York City to superintend the placing of the Rockefeller fountain, the statue of which is a small boy, playing the pipes, while a frog at his feet spurts water from the mouth.

The little Princess is the idol of the land of the windmill, and her mother is her favorite playmate. Although but three years old this royal child is possessed of a remarkably brilliant mind. Court gossips have already betrothed her to either a grandson of Emperor William or one of the Prince of Wales' younger brothers.

PRISOIIERSJT WORK Were Kept Busy All Morning Shoveling Snow.

Under the supervision of Rice Miller, caretaker at the county jail, many prisoners were kept busy this morning shoveling the snow from the court house walks. The men went to work with good will and the job was soon "killed." More than enough applicants wished to do the work than could be properly watched, and their wi6h to be beyond the prison bars was refused. This is the first work done by some of the prisoners since they cut the lawn around the court house. "I wish we courd have some of the prisoners at the county jail to help us clean the snow out of the streets," said Street Commissioner Genn this morning. I believe they would be glad to do the work for the privilege of being out of doors. Several years ago we were allowed the privilege of using the prisoners before it was prohibited by the state law. During the last Democratic administration the ball and chains which we used to tie to the convicts legs were sold as junk. The last work done by jail "bird6" in this city was when they cleaned up Glen Miller park.

AN ACCIDENT WAS NARROWLY AVERTED

What might have been a serious accident was narrowly averted by the presence of mind of the driver of a large touring car when an enfeebled old woman stepped in front of the swiftly moving automobile at the corner of Sixth 'and Main streets last night. The woman whose name could not be learned was unaware of her peril. The drier immediately applied the brakes and attempted to swerve the big machine from its course. It missed the woman by a few inches and skidded around until it was pointed in the opposite direction in which it had been going.
