nicif Err qiekr. A BALTIMORE FAMILY DF WORLD WIDE FAME. H'jw They Built, a Russia\ Railroad for the CzarL'fheir Wondrful Cigar Boat—A Wailed, iu Para Use for a Residence. Baltimore letter in Philatlelpia Times. The curious visitor to this <ty who takes a Bed Line car and rides tit Baltimore street as far as Fremont will bserve a large square enclosed by a high wsl, over the top of which appears the manard roof of a palatial residence. On inqutv he will find that this is the property of M. Boss Winaus, the son of Thomas Winas, and a very ludicrous story is eonnectedwith the build ing of this double-story, goomy and for hidding wall around a squau of the loveliest and most artistic garden in the United States. Many years ago, when "homas AVinans constructed this elegant reidence, lie took special pains to surround i with handsome grounds, importing Europan gardeners for the work and rare plants let the a3sthetically constructed beds. Cool md airy Chinese pagodas, Turkish mosquesand other quaint forms of architecture wer< used for the sum mer houses, whilefautastii glass structures, filled with beautiful t ropial plants of gor geous foliage abounded on iverv hand. Amid all these fanciful ornaments Mr. Winans, who was a lover of art, had casts made from the most celebrate! classic statues, such as the various Fenuses, Psyche, Clito, Ceres und otters of a graver kind, placed in the most commanding posi tions. A low iron faice inclosed the grounds, it being the intention of Mr. Winaus to make his garden an object of delight to his fellow-citiiens and to throw it open to the public on certain days. At. that time there were many people who did not look upon the nude in art with the same toleration that all exsreise to-day, and a certain element of the population were ex ceedingly horrified by the innocent statues. They got ip a petition to the City Council, prayirg the authorities to have them removed or forbidden. Of course the Council took no action, but Mr. Winans, who was very sensitive, took offense at this reception of his liberatity, and built the towering wall around his ar tistic grounds. Few have ever l*n ad mitted within the guarded precincts, and the most marvelous stories are told in the neighborhood as to its contents. It was here that in his later days Mr. Winans had his great organ put up—one of the largest organs in the country —which he occasion ally hired some professional musician to play on for his own exclusive amusement. THE WINANS FAMILY. The history of the Winans family is as remarkable as it is interesting. Over forty years ago there lived in this city two broth ers named Thomas and William Winans. Both were men of natural railroad genius, though far from cultivated or scientific en gineers. The two had made money and they began to foresee the future of railroad building in Russia. About this period the Czar drew his famous pencil mark across the map from St. Petersburg to Moscow as the route of the railroad he pro jected. The story is old, but it bears retelling here. After all the engineers hail given their opinions about the best practicable routes, Nicholas, con fused by the clash of ideas, took up a ruler and drawing a straight line by it across the map from St. Petersburg to Moscow, handed it to them as the final route of the railroad. The alarmed Russians had recourse to for eign engineers, and the Winans took up the work. The road was successfully built and a great fortune secured to them, but it was not until 1861 that a completely successful locomotive was built. In those days Rus sian engines burned wood entirely, and it was only after seventeen years that the right kind of locomotive was constructed. From that period on the fortunes of the Winans family began to be colossal. Thomas married the daughter of a Rus sian shopkeeper She died, leaving him two children —Ross Winans, of this city, and Celeste, now married to Mr. Hutton, a young Englishman in the diplomatic service. William had married an English woman of the middle class and retired to England to enjoy his wealth. Since the time he first crossed the ocean on his way to Russia in 1844, William Winans has never returned to this country. A strain of eccentricity early developed itself in both brothers, and in William it took the form of a nervous dread of crossing the ocean. Never l>efore did an American become so thoroughly weaned from his country. William says that he would not cross the Atlantic for $5,000,000. Nor is he willing that his sons Walter and Louis shall. THOMAS WINANS’ MODELS. Thomas Winans’ manner of expending his huge revenues was at least unique. He had hut one taste and aptitude, but one occupa tion in the world, and that was in building models of steam vessels after original de signs. This propensity caused him to be called the “cigar-boat man,” and many peo ple thought he was touched atiout the brain on the subject. He thought he could build a boat in the shape of a cigar that would distance anything and everything afloat, and he spent hundreds ef thousands in constructing models. He launched several, and they always turned bottom upwards as soon as they touched water, which was exactly what scientific men predicted. Old Thomas was bluff, rich, determined and untroubled by scientific scruples, so he continued his ex periments to the day of his death, despite criticisms, to which he was very sensitive. Among the old gentleman's other propensi ties was a supreme devotion to Lydia when she was in the heyday of tier charms, but the wicked Lydia used to repay this modem species of knight erran try by introducing into her song references to the wonderful cigar boat, which always brought down the house, but which always caused Mr. Winans to quit the theatre in a rage. William, observing how his brother be came sport for the scientists, kept his own experiments ns secret as possible, but he continues as much from force of habit ns from nnj’ natural taste to work every day on the same queer model, although his in come, according to his own returns, is from $2,000,000 to $3,000,000. These gigantic revenues which make him next to the Rothschilds and the Duke of Westminster, the richest man in England, he spends with a frw > hand, but neither he nor his family is able to spend it all. His residence in Kensington Darden is extremely handsome. -• noble carriage drive leads up to the door of the engineer prince. The hall of en trance is lofty, and the two vast drawing-rooms are superb. A charrn 'ng effect is produced by a monster sheet of plate gla-s separating the ,w 'o rooms, beside which is an archway of communication. The carpet, laid there has had n history. A magnificent one was spe chilly designed and woven at Axminstor tor the front drawing room. After it was laid ■’ll'- Winans did not like it, so he had another manufacture,.!. ■ When the second one came Ihe question arose as to what waste he done tvith the first. Mr. Winans thought for a tew moments. “Just put down the second over the first,” he said, as though struck by s sudden solution. Ko carpet No. 2 waa put down over carpet No. 1, each of which cost thousands, nnd thus It is that Mr. Winans has the most expensive floor covering in all , the foot, sinking into itssoft, elastic bed as though one was walking upon down. Mtia. WINANS. Mrs. R’m. Winans is an excellent and un pretending woman who has no desire to min- R te *” society. Mho prefers to live in her home at. Brighton rather than in either the Ix>n dou house or the Hootch shooting box, as 'hey call their Inverneathirc place, for which they )>ay the modest rent of $36,000 a Tear At Brighten Mrs. Winans lia* ■ established a school, where sixteen girl* i arv educated and provided for. Mm. Wi- | *** w takes great interest iu har ward*, and I when they leave the school she starts them in life, and never after loses sight of them. U she can help it. Mr. Winans also likes Brighton best of all his homes; he is gen erally more nr less bored in London. They do not entertain a groat deal, but during the season they manage to drag through a few select dinners and two or three crush entertainments. One of their favorite methods of treating special guests is to j have morning concerts, at which they have Patti, Nilsson, Albani and all the tip-top song birds of the operatic stage to warble their notes. Mr. Winans snvs he has no taste for singing outside of Patti’s. At that prima donna’s first appearance in St. Petersburg he paid SI,OOO for the first choice of boxes, regarding which a sarcastic Frenchman remarked that Mr. Winans might have gone to Paris and back and heord Patti sing a dozen times for such a sum. But money is a small consideration with the Winanses. THE SONS. M illiam Winans' two sons are both well educated and very sensible young men, but thoroughly un-American, as it was inevita ble they should tie. Walter, the elder, mar ried against his father’s wishes, who, al though refusing to be present at the cere mony, has long since forgiven the young couple. Mr. Winans’ social ambition led him to desire his children to marry into titled families. Both young men. whose tastes run chiefly to pictures and American trotters, declined to gratify the old gentle man. Their deer forest, which has particu larly exasperated the English press agasnst the name of Winans, is certainly conducted on indefensible principles. Besides the reg ular establishment, sixty “gillies,” or deer stalkers, are required during the season. Mr. Winans is no sportsman, and the way the enormous deer slaughters are carried out is paralleled by nothing except by the organized bands of titled marauders who come over from England to exterminate the large game of the Northwest. Mr. Winans has occasionally lieen persuaded to stand, gun in hand, for a few hours in order to take a shot at the numerous deer that are driven by; but he has not gone near Inver nesshire for several years. He also follows the English custom, so amazing to Ameri cans, of selling his game, and every week in the season immense hampers are shipped from his place to the London markets. Al though in the oentre of the Scotch High lands everything that can add to the luxury of living—dainty fruits, the newest books and pictures, everything that heart can de sire and money buy—are taken up from London every day. Mr. Winans does not wait on the railway’s convenience; when ever he wants to go anywhere he docs like the Queen —orders a train. PATTI AND THE CIRCUS. Old Winans is very unpopular among his neighbors; indeed, popularity is not one of his characteristics. Apart from engineer ing and shipbuilding it is almost impossible to interest him in any serious matter. Patti’s singing and the circus are the only forms of amusement he professes to like. It is related of him that once in Russia an American manager brought a circus com pany to St. Petersburg, and hearing of Mr. Winans’ fondness for the exhibitions of the sawdust ring, went to him and suggested that he should shell out a pretty considerable sum for boxes. So large was the amount de manded that Mr. Winans asked indignantly if he was expected to pay for the whole per formance, “Well,” answered he of the brassy cheek, “I haven’t the slightest ob jection.” Mr. Winans was so tickled by his ineffable impudence that lie bought the whole house. On the night of the perform anee he presented himself with a friend or two and sat out the whole thing, to the de light and amazement of the performers in the ring, whom he made to answer his en cores and act just as though there were a thousand spectators instead of two or three. ROSS WINANS’ CAREER. The only sister of the Winanses married a Mr. Whistler, a near relative of the artist Whistler. Her two daughters were brought up with her brother’s children, Ross and Celeste. Ten years ago Ross Winans’ young wife died and he married her young cousin, Neva Whistler. She was born in St. Peters burg and named after the river Neva. A short time since they built a magnificent residence, with gothic towers and generally of inidale-age architecture, on St. Paul street. The gloomy pile is one of the show houses of the city. They had but one child, a girl baby, that died of small pox. The child was taken ill at their country place near the city, and when the doctors pro nounced the disease small-pox the parents left it. They paid one of the best physi cians in Baltimore SI,OOO to take charge of the case. He went out with a capable nurse and devoted himself to it, but the poor child died in a few days. All its parents had to give it was money and money could not save its life. Besides old Thomas Winans’ residence, mentioned in the beginning of this article, and the St. Paul street palace, Ross Winans owns a cottage at Newport which he calls “Bleak House.” It is a vast, gloomy-look ing place right down on the beach, where the famous “Ocean Drive” leads past it. Here a great deal of Celeste Winans’ girl hood was spent. Her family were not so ciety people, and she was brought up in great seclusion. While the rest of the New port world was dancing and driving, the rich Winans heiress could bo often seen, clothed in an old blue flannel frock, sitting solitary on the end of the pier and fishing. But the rod she fished with was pointed with silver. A strange family, however you take them. Are they, with all their millions, happier than many a humble household where labor is a daily requisite! BENJAMIN DISRAELI. How He First Aroused the Attention ’of the English People. Prom the National Review. That the attention of the English people was first aroused by the air of original cox coinbry with which Benjamin Disraeli made his appearance.on the stage of public life; that they were interested by his audacity and fascinated by the strange mixture of genius and charlatanism that distinguished his early utterances would not be denied by any candid person. But attention, interest and even fascination are something quite different from admiration, and, far from the English people being quick to in trust the direction of their fortunes to this brilliant writer and sparkling speaker, they continued to be disinclined to commit, any serious task to his charge by reason of this brilliance even for a considerable time alter he find in large measure purged himself of it. and had become a painstaking, methodical and measured politician. If any one will take the trouble to read carefully the speeches on the condition and prospects of agriculture delivered by him in the House of Commons in the years 1846 and 1847, in cluded in the collection of Lord Beacons field’s speeches, edited by Mr. Kebbel, he wifi, I think, allow that there must have existed tho strongest prejudice against a man who could not, on the strength of those speeches, get the whole world to regard him as a serious and solid statesman. Tim preju dice did exist, and it was a just prejudice, based on the political vaporing that, had ac companied hits path to notoriety. No doubt when, in the course of time, this just preju dice was justly discarded—by many persons it never was—-then the English people, always generous to their favorites, not only made allowances, a* I have argued we all should do for the fermenting ambition of his youth and for the obstacle* it had to encounter, but placed to his credit the courage, the tenacity, even the recklessness which by a rigorous analyst are not to be disentangled from the errors all disfiasslonate persons must condemn. The answer, therefore, to the question is that in the case of Itord Beaconsfleld, the English people blamed wluit was blame worthy. distrusted what was untrust worthy, and admired what was admirable. Had not wit ripened into wisdom, hail not duty burned ambition pure, he would never have become Prime Minister of Lug land, THE MORNING NEWS; WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1887. GAY CAPTAIN LEROY. A Blaze of Light Suddenly Let in Upon His Marrying Proclivities. Xew York Special to the Philadelphia Press. Captain Charles H. Leroy, who is under arrest in Chloagef on Mrs. M. L. Jones-Le roy's charge of bigamy, is well known in New York and Boston. Mrs. Jones, his latest victim, who was the widow of a Mil waukee druggist, was won bv Leroy’s dash ing manners and gave him Tier heart, and some $6OO l>esides. The money was osten sibly to enable Captain Leroy to relieve the embargo on his diamonds. Leroy and Mrs. Jones were married in February last, and after honeymoon of a day the Captain dis appeared. Mrs, Jones learned of an early marriage and put the police on his track, and they arrested him at the races in Chi cago a few days ago. A New York news paper published this advertisement on March 80, I *B4: “A gentleman of 33, good-looking and smart, with $6,000, wishes to make the ac quaintance of a lady of means; one that wants to get a good husband. Address C. H. L., 41 Pembroke sti'eet, Boston, Mass. At 41 Pembroke street, Boston, is a livery stable, where Leroy used to spend his time and w’here he got liis letters. His adver tisement was answered by Mrs. Catharine Duggan, of Flushing, 1,. 1., a widow who is said to have $25,000. Leroy visited Flush ing, and a formal marriage agreement was made. At this interview Leroy coolly asked the widow to loan him $7OO with which to settle with his partner, and she was only too happy to oblige him. She didn't see again, but sne learned that he had returned to Boston and brought suit for $lO,OOO breach of promise. He was not found until some months later, when he was arrested and locked up in Ludlow Street jail. On Dec. 31, 1884. Leroy was released on bail and promptly disappeared. While the Captain was negotiating with Mrs. Duggan, he was making ardent love to another woman in New York, and main taining a wife in Boston. Even while in correspondence with Sirs. Duggan lie in duced the other woman to cross from New York to New Jersey, on Sept. 16, 1884, when they entered into what he called “a contract of carriage,” and which, at his desire, was to lie kept secret. He told the young woman that his wile had been killed in the Ashtabula disaster. Not until to-day (lid Leroy’s unfortunate victim reveal the secret. She was somewhat, affected when the Chicago dispatch was shown to her. She hart not heard of Leroy for nearly three years. “So he has another, has he?’’ she said. “Now that he stands a chance of being sent to the penitentiary I shall have no scruples in telling my story. I was introduced to him in the spiring of 1884, and I was per suaded to enter into a secret marriage. You can imagine my surprise when I read one morning in tbo newspapers an account of his escapade with the Widow Duggan. I did not go near him, but at last he wrote me a letter that was so pitiful t hat I could not resist it and took him $650 in money and a diamond ring. When he was released from Ludlow street jail he pawned the ring and sent me the ticket. The ring was worttl $250 and he pawned it for $6O. For fear he would disclose our secret marriage, I in duced a gentleman to furnish $B5O hail, and he was released on the promise to stand his trial, but he ran away, and I pjaid the for feited hail. This seems to be the list of Leroy’s alleged conquests as far as known: A wife said to have been killed at Ashtabula, one living in Boston, the Widow Duggan, the young woman whom he married in Jersey City, the alleged St. Louis wife and the Mil waukee widow. At the Boston livery stable letters were received for him from all Darts of the United States. In this city he is well known among sporting men and hotel corridor habitues, and at the race track as a swindler. THE PONIES OF CHINCOTEAGUE. Some Facts About the Virginia Nags Notai the Annual Penning, u Prom a Philadelphia Times Letter. “Here’s the pony, gentlemen. Thar ain't no finer traveler on the island. Whoa, thar? durn ye!” The speaker, a tall, angular chap, with unkempt hair, a cardinal shii t, blue over alls and barefooted, a typical spieeimen of the native, was holding by the long mane a restive, diminutive pinny, the raising and panning of which has, within the last decade, made the island of Chineoteague, Va., in connection with its great oyster deposits, famous throughout the country. And while he was vociferously expati ating upon the speeding qualities of his chat ge the crowd was constantly augment ing in size—a curious, heterogeneous con gregation of pteople, w ho came in boats from the Virginia shore and in the cars from the back counties of Maryland. This year, however, the attendance has not been* con fined exclusively to residence of the imme diate neighlmrhood, hut Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore and Washington have con tributed largely to swell the crowds from the rural districts. Conspicuous among this great audience are the colored people, who regard the event as a holiday, and are always present in full force. These piennings take place annually in August, and for weeks great preparations are made by the people to attend them. The avant courier is the corpulent colored woman with her toothsome squares of old fashioned gingerbread and spruce beer. The rapid development of internal impirove ments and the inexo a! P march of p o pis s sive intelligence have somewhat shorn these piennings of their antique and novel features, but there is still much left to make them profoundly interesting and highly amusing to the Northern spieeula tor. * It is almost impossible to learn anything definite as to the origin of the Chinoo’teague pony. The oldest inhabitant cannot give a correct or intelligent version of whence it came. They all have their theories, some of them plausible enough in their way, tint there is a lack of authenticity in these nar ratives that leave impressions of a dubious character. A great many claim that they are an offspring of the Shetland Isles, and must have found their wav to Chificoteague from a large steamer that was wrecked on the island before it was inhabited. Certain it is, at one time they roamed the island in vast numbers, but when the great storm of forty years ago devastated the country and almost submerged Chiuooteague it came near annihilating them. In size the Chincoteague pony approxi mates that of the Shetland. The hair on their bodies is thick and shaggy, and their manes and tails are long and glossy. They are strong, hardy little fellows, naming wild on the extreme southern end of the island, feeding on the hay and the tender roots which grow in luxurious abundance in the salt marshes bordering on the Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. When they are brought in they are divided off into what is known in the’vernacular as herds, and each herd has its own peculiar mark or brand to dis tinguish it from the other end thus obviate the difficulty of dispute ns to identity and ownership when corralled for branding. These branding irons are made according to the notions of the owner, representing the initials, stars, spear-heads, crosses, etc., and are easily distinguished. ‘Buchu-Paiba."

NOW I F You could get a Fine Piano at a very low price and on most remarkably easy terms for |iay ment, wouldn’t you buy it right now* Well, you can do just that very thing right now, but not some other time. We happen to have on hand a large number of Fine Pianos, not quite new. hut used, some a few months and some a year or so, hut all with cases repolished and looking as if fresh from Factory. These must be sold. We need room for New Stock, and to close them out quick we put prices very low indeed—much less Ilian actual value —aiid also make Specially Easy Terms! Rented until paid for. Yes, that's it. Anew plan entirely. Our Quarterly Rental Plan. Ten Quarterly Payments buys the Piano The quar terly rental is ten per cent, of tin price of Piano, and this paid regularly for ten quarters will buy the Instrument. Thus, if Piano is priced at #9OO. ten quarterly payments of S2O will buy it, thus giving almost three years for payment. ANOTHER POINT. Suppose you want a Fair Piano at small cost Well, we have them at SSO, $75. S9O. SIOO and $125 in good order (not worn outi that will do excel lent s, r vice for many years yet. Indeed we have some grand bar gains in I hew, and they are also sold on the Rental Plan. These Pianos are represented exactly as they are and will In- exchanged if not satisfactory. YVe keep in tune and order for one year those sold within the city limits. M k MIIS Music House. LEGAL NOTICES, (' EORGIA, ( hathah County. In Chatham T Superior Court. Motion to establish lost deed.
