Lorillard, Pierre, tobacco manufacturer, born 

 in New York city, Oct. 13, 1833; died there, July 

 7, 1901. With his four brothers he inherited the 

 tobacco business from his father, and, buying 

 them out, developed it with great success. He 

 owned the schooner Vesta, and was one of the 

 crew that raced her from Sandy Hook to Cowes 

 for a sweepstake of $10,000. His coljt Iroquois 

 won the English Derby in 1881, and he was the 

 only American that ever won that event with an 

 American-bred horse. Mr. Lorillard left fine sta- 

 bles in England and on his breeding-farm at 

 Rancocas, N. J. He founded the colony of Tuxe- 

 do on land of his in the Ramapo hills. He was 

 interested with the French Government in fitting 

 out the two Charnay Franco-American archeolog- 

 ical expeditions to explore the ancient cities of 

 Central America and Yucatan, and France, as a 

 reward for his generosity, made him an officer 

 of the Legion of Honor. 



Luby, Thomas Clarke, Irish patriot, born in 

 Dublin, Ireland, Jan. 15, 1822; died in Jersey 

 City, N. J., Nov. 28, 1901. He was graduated 

 at Trinity College, Dublin, in 1840, and studied 

 law at the Temple, London, but chose journalism 

 as his profession. He early associated himself 

 with the Irish National cause, and joined his 

 fortunes with James Stephens in the organization 

 of the Fenian movement. Stephens and Luby 

 met in Dublin and administered the oath to each 

 other as leaders of the cause. Mr. Luby came 

 to the United States in 1863, and as a result of 

 this visit the American branch was subordinated 

 to the home organization, and so remained until 

 its disruption in 1866. In 1864 the Irish People 

 was established in Dublin, and Mr. Luby became 

 its managing editor. John O'Leary was editor- 

 in-chief. The paper was ultimately suppressed 

 by the British Government. Mr. Luby was ar- 

 rested, tried, and convicted of treason-felony, and 

 sentenced to twenty years' imprisonment. He 

 served five years of the term, and in December, 

 1870, was pardoned under Mr. Gladstone's Con- 

 stitutional Amnesty bill, on condition that he 

 should go abroad for the remainder of the pre- 

 scribed term. He first went to the Continent, and 

 then came to the United States, where he after- 

 ward made his home. He was widely known as 

 an author and lecturer, his best-known books 

 being The Life of Daniel O'Conhell and the Lives 

 of Illustrious and Representative Irishmen. He 

 withdrew from the Irish movement in 1880 on 

 account of his hearty disapproval of the dynamite 

 doctrine of the O'Donovan Rossa group of Na- 

 tionalists, and he denounced, whenever oppor- 

 tunity offered, the Phoenix Park murders.
