THE COURIER-JOURNAL, LOUISVILLE, SUNDAY MORNING, JANUARY 27, MATTERS conmen Talk "I had never met Gen. Lew Wallace before," said a friend, "until a short time ago, when business connected with the late political disaster called me to Indianapolis. Capt. w. and myself walked along Washngton street, when a gentleman in dark frock coat and light trousers came toward us.

There was nothing particularly impressive about. him, and should certainly not have thought of picking him out of a crowd as a celebrity. 'That is Gen. remarked my friend, "let me introduce Well, I was introduced to the author of 'Ben and am glad that I have met him. He struck me as a remarkably polished gentleman, with the manners of the Grand Seigneur, but in person he is small and, as I said, not particularly impressive, but he grows upon one.

He is a little distant, with that coolness that is found as an attribute of thoughtful persons who have the quality of growing upon you." That my friend was not particularly impressed with Gen. Wallace's size and figure is not particularly wonderful, since he himself is a six-footer and has the limbs of an athlete as well as the strength of one, and people of his kind always expect great men to be not only mentally, but also physically great. By the way, he has a most obnoxious trick of handshaking, and Capt. W. has since told me that when my athlete and the General met the warmth of the salutation made the great Indianian wince, The Captain chuckles when he recalls the meeting on Washington street, and the evident anxiety of the General to gt his hand away from the all too friendly, but utterly unconscious, grasp.

By the way, the General is now bullding an enormous seven-story model flat at the Indianapolis capital, most of the money for the house having, it is said, come to him through his books.

Several years ago he was put on the Democratic ticket for Constable as a joke, and the joke tickled the voters so well.

that he ran ahead of the ticket. His fame rests largely upon his ability as an eater. He acknowledges no equal when it comes to eating. He is the first man, it is claimed, who ever attempted to eat a quail a day for thirty successive days and succeeded. He tried it first at Madison to see if he could do it, and when he found he could he went to Kohl Middleton's Museum in Chicago and repeated the performance before numerous witnesses, who watched him at the rate of ten cents a head.

He made the assertion that he could keep the diet up for thirty days longer if the quail were furnished him. His supplementary appetite was too ravenous for a man of ordinary fortune to cater to, so he was released. "Jimmy, as every man, woman and child in the city calls him, considered the quall-eating feat as trivial. He points with pride, however, at the time he ate twenty-four hard-boiled goose eggs at a sitting. besides the side dishes.

PREACHER RAN THE GAME Police Raid a Crowd of Negroes Playing Craps, Prayer-Meeting Conducted In the Next Room, Cstens bly To throw Cf Suspicion. This meeting had a crap game annexed, and the annex was raided by polir last night. The Rev. William the Ferris, colored, who conducted the game, jumped headtoremost through a window- secondstory window, carrying glass, and all with him to the street sash below. He escaped, but Henry Jones and Borman, members of his flock, were James not 50 fortunate, and now they are in a cell at Seventeenth-street police station.

For some time past the police have been noticing the large number of who entered a two-story frame negroes house in Congress alley, between Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets. Several the police asked the negroes what times was going on in the house and they were told a prayer-meeting was in progThe loud amens" and the singing from within seemed to justify this statement. However, many of the negroes who attended the meetings were known to the police, who aiso knew that they were not religiously inclined. Last night about 10 o'clock Patrolmen Brown and. Harrington decided to investigate the prayer-meeting.

As they stool heneath the windows of the house they heard the rolling ct dice and the suspicions snaps of the fingers above the din of Cress de Lawd and Amen Brethren," which came from the front room. The police climbed the stairway and peeped into the prayer-meeting rocm, and saw a few colored women and several men apparently devoutly worshiping Then the police peered into the rear room, where they saw a well organized crap cane in full operation with Preacher Ferris behind the green cloth-covered table dealing out chips dexterously. The police at once broke open the door, and made a rush on the surprised gamblers. Preacher Fertis ran to a side before the police reached him, and unhesitatingly plunged through a glass window headforemost. The sash and all the glass panes were broken out, and when Patrolman Brown looked out Ferris was half a square and running as if he had seen a away ghost.

He had dropped twelve feet to the pavement. The police succeeded in holding Jones and Borman, and they took them to the Seventeruth-street station. The prayer-meeting broke up, and the nitents dispersed. Whether or not Preacher Ferris was hurt is not known, MAY BE SECRET, ANYWAY. Two Members of the Wilson Committee Think of Disobeying Instructions.

The committee of the Board of Councilmen, which was directed to investigate Mr. Wilson, of the Board of Pub12 Safety, will meet Monday afternoon Lad may hold secret sessions in disregard of the instructions of the Board of Councilmen. Mr. Schneider and Dr. Delg, two of the three members of the committee, are still in favor of holding secret sessions, though will not announce such decision in deference to Mr.

Baker, the third member, whom they have not had an opportunity of consulting with. Dr. Deig thinks he has been treated with some discourtesy by his colleagues in the Council. He was ill, he says, and unable to be present at the last meeting of the Council, and that, notwithstanding his absence, the Council took occasion to issue instructions to the committee which had been previously appointed. The committee had already adopted rules for its investigation, which the Council by its action Thursday night sought to nullify.

Dr. Deig said he had received no official notification of any instructions from the Council, and, for his part, saw no reason why the committee could not proceed according to its original plan of secret sessions, though, of course, he would form no decision on the subject until the members of the committee could confer. He expected to attend the meeting of the committee Monday afternoon. If secret sessions could not be held he was in favor of postponing action until the Council meets again. Mr.

Schneider said that he certainly thought the committee could proceed to hold secret sessions, and he was personally in favor of their doing so. BAGGAGE CAR ON FIRE. Several Bags of United States Mail Burned At Pesey, Ill. -Capt. Jenks Leaves To lavestigate.

The baggage car of the westbound passeuger train of the Louisville, Evansville St. Louis railroad burned at Posey, 14., at -5 o'clock yesterday morning. 'The baggage was nearly all saved, but a large amount of the United States mail went up in amoke. The car caught on fire from a defective flue. Everything was done to save the car and contents, but the gale was blowing at so great rate it was impossible.

The train was delayed some time. Capt. H. B. Jenks left yesterday afternoon for Posey, to examine into the burning of the cer.

SIMMERING DOWN. Little In Mexico Now That Looks Like There Will Be mala Wants Peace. City of Mexico, Jan. The excitement has subsided here, and it now looks like it was more enthusiasm than action.

Guatemala, Jan. 26. -The populace bere is very much excited, and it is openly stated thet unless Parrios makes peace proposals now and at once to Mexico that he will be asked to resign the presi- dency. Cottage Burned Down.

An alarm of fire was turned in from box 87, Eighth and Churchill streets, at 8:50 o'clock last night. The cause of the alarm was a fire in a vacant cottage in the alley between Eighth and Ninth and Churchill and Oldham streets. The house had not been o- cupied for over a month, and it is believ hat it was the work of incendi- arles. The cottage was destroyed, causing almost totally a loss of about $300. The property belonged to Pat Burke.

SHORT AND MISSING. T. H. Watkins Grecer: Would Like To Kn Waere August Heisse Is. August Heisse, a driver for the grocery firm of T.

H. Watkins at Twelfth and Market streets, is missing from his home, 2022 Lytle street. Simultaneously with Heisse's disappearance was noted the absence of $250 of the firm's money. Heisse had been in the employ of the firm for more than five years. He was intrusted with considerable sums of money, and was considered one of the best men at the store.

During the past two months he had collected for the firm, and was given bills against customers who had the reputation of paying promptly. He reported at the store that a number of these people had failed to pay their bills. Little was thought of this, but the reports became so frequent that on last Monday Heisse was told that another man would be sent over his route. Before the second collector had returned Heisse had left the store, learned, and, as it was subsequently left the city. It was learned that he had collected a number of bills which he had returned as having been uncollected.

The total shortage, it is thought, will reach $250. Heisse has a wife and two children. His wife has offered a reward $50 for his safe return. He is thought to be in Cincinnati. WIFE AND MONEY GONE.

Arthur Cummings Comes Here In Search of Them. Claims That She Eloped With M. F. Smith, His Partner On a Farm. Arthur Cummings, a young farmer from near Winchester, arrived at Central police station last night on the lookout for his runaway wife and runaway partuer in the farm, Mr.

A. Smith. The pair had run off with all Cummings' money, as he alleges, and he had followed them here. Cummings and Smith formed a partnership last winter and rented a farm. They cleared $210, and on last Monday they counted the net gain and put it in a trunk, deciding to divide it and start anew that nignt.

Cummings said that he went to a store after some nails, and while he was gone Smith ran off with his wife. Before they left they took all the money out of the trunk. He tracked them to Winchester, and found that they bed left for Frankfort. The police searched the town, and could not find them. It was learned later that Smith and Cummings' wife had boarded the steamer Falls City.

and were 00 their way to Louisville. Cummings at once started for this city, and when he reached Central Station he told his story to Majs. Gunther and Owens, who sent Tent. with to levee to await the arrival of the steamer. Cummings said that Smith could have his wife if he would give up his part of the money made on the farm, which amounted to 8105.

He sud that he had lost all faith in women. He is a typical countryman, with little ex; er enc. among thieves. At a late hour last night the steamer Falls City bad not arrived. Christian Endeavor Rally.

Tut: Nature wisely provides that even the wisest men and women can not estimate each other's mental furnishings with any degree of accuracy; and it is also arranged that even the most foolish among us knows something that some one else doesn't know. A Third-avenue matron forgot all this, however, the other day when her doorbell rang and the servant brought up the card of a prominent local literary woman.

As the lady of the house touched herself up before the morror preparatory to descending to the parlor she quaked in her boots. she said to herself, what can I talk to Mrs. Goggles about? She belnogs to 50 many clubs, reads and studies so many languages, writes such deep papers and all that! What on earth can I say to entertain her? I just know I will appear unusually ignorant and foolish." She nerved herself, however, and went down to greet the appalling guest. And the formidable Mrs. Goggles nestled up to her a timidly confiding touch, and said, in on the sofa, took her hand a again with almost a mysterious whisper: "Mrs.

Chic-tell me do you know any Said Mr. Henry Nanz yesterday: number of persons have remarked to me this week: 'What a fortune that New York dorist has in having such an order as that given him by William Waldorf Now, to the uninitiated one hundred dollars a day for a funeral pall seems as if there might be margins for a great fortune. The truth of the matter is that every florist here thinks, as I do, that one hundred dollars is a very reasonable amount for such a daily order, and that he will have a hard time to make anything out of it. For instance, the man will have to furnish over three thousand orchids every day, and a greater number of lilies of the valley and violets. The question is how will he be able to get so many of these the whole year round? I do not think the possibility of Alling the order outside of New York could be entertained, and I am doubtful if any florist can get either violets or lilies of the valley from June to September.

Then orchids can not be grown without constant sunlight. The dorist is to be under the eyes of a guard to see that he carries out his contract to the letter. The matter will be up for discussion at the next meeting of the State Association of Florists, and the result of Mr. Astor's order will be awaited with much interest." ASSESSED TOO LOW.

Washington, Jan. asked to-night about the report published to-day in the Evening Times that he would enter the contest for Governor in Kentucky, Representative Montgomery said: "Tell them I would not have so small an office, but will be a candidate for President." The question apparently made the Judge facetious, as his answer indicates. If Judge Montgomery has any idea of entering the gubernatorial contest he has not said anything about it here. TRAGEDY ON A TRAIN. Delirious, Kentuckian Kills One Man and Seriously Wounds Two Others.

Judge Jackson yesterday morning overruled the motion for a new trial in the case of Abe Parker, colored, and judgment in accordance with the recent verdiet was pronounced against him.

Parker was given ten years for rape, and founded his motion for a rehearing on some newly-discovered evidence. Parker declared yesterday that he had not had a fair trial.

He ascertained when Cora Warfield's husband would be absent from home and then frightened her with a Judge Jackson hinted that some affidavits fled by the defense indicated that perjury had been committed.

(Chambers' Journal.) High o'er the sunlit market place, Where busy workers come and go, From the belfry's airy grace.

There ring in accents sweet and low, Unfailing at the appointed times, The "tender and melodious chimes." Entranced we stand, and, listening, hear heavenly music in midair; When, lol there falls upon the ear A note of terror and despair: tone of grief and anguish dwells Within the sweetness of the bells. For The once, beneath the belfry's shade, demons of this earth held sway, And fire, and sword, and rapine made A fury of a night and day, And while the chimes of Antwerp last, There echoes yet that dreadful past. For still, whene'er the sweet bells ring Their message to the town below, Their tuneful voices seem to bring Some memory of that day of woe; The "old, unhappy, far-off" tale, Arises like a breath of bale. The Roof Tree. (Robert Louis Stevenson.) I.

Home no more home to me, whither must I wander? Hunger my driver, I go where I must, Cold blows the winter wind over hill and heather: Thick drives the rain, and my roof is in the dust. Loved of roof-tree, wise men was the shade of my The true word of welcome was spoken in the doorDear days of old, with the faces in the fire-light, Kind folks of old, you come again no more. IL Home was home then, my dear, full of kindly faces; Home was home then, my dear, happy for the child. Fire and the windows bright glittered on the moorland, Song, tuneful song, built a palace in the wild. Now, when day dawns on the brow of the moorland, Lone stands the house, and the chimneystone is cold, Lone let it stand, now the friends are all departed, The kind hearts, the true hearts, that loved the place of old.

III. Spring shall come, come again, calling up the moorfowl, Spring shall bring the sun and rain, bring the bees and flowers; Red shall the heather bloom over hill and valley, Soft flow the stream through the even flowing hours; Fair the day shines as it shone on my childhoodFair shine the day on the house with open door: Birds come and cry there and twitter in the chimneyBut I go forever and come again no more. The Hermit. Songs by the Now the quietude of earth Nestles deep my heart within; Friendships new and strange have birth. Sinee I left the city's din.

Here the tempest stays its guile, Like a big, kind brother plays, F.omps and pauses here awhile From its immemorial days. Now the silver light of dawn, Slipping through the leaves that fleck My one window, hurries on, Throws its arms around my neck. Darkness to my doorway hies, Lays her chin upon the roof, And her burning seraph eyes Now no longer keep aloof. And the ancient mystery Holds Its hands out day by day, Takes a chair and croons with me By my cabin built of clay. When the dusky shadow flits, By the chimney nook I see Where the old enchanter sits, Smiles, and waves, and beckons me.

A. E. From the "Song of the Calbon Sea." In Grew once a rose within my room Of perfect hue, of perfect health; Of such perfection and perfume It filled my poor house with its wealth. Then came the pessimist who knew Not good or grace but overthrew My rose, and in the broken pot Nosed fast for slugs within the rot. He found, found with exulting pride, Deep in the loam a worm, a slug The while my rose-tree died.

Ah, me! the pity 't is 'tis true. The fairest rose, the richest mold, The richer mold the ranker grew Some lonely life within its fold From first to last. Wouldst breathe the rose, Or break the pot, and nose and nose? Nay, plead not I for self at last: The past, I have survived the past; My ruined rose, my wrecked repose; But plead I for that coming song, The sweeter, fairer rose. God is not far, man is not far From heaven's porch, where paeans roll And yet shall speak from star to star In silent language of the soul; Yon star-strewn skies be but a town, With angels passing up and down. "I leave my peace with you." Lo! these, His seven wounds, the Pleiades, Pierce heaven's porch.

But resting there The new moon rocks the Christ Child in Her silver rocking-chair. TOO FEW PRESENT. The Bakers' and Confectioners' ployes Will Be Organized Later.
