HAPPENINGS OF A NIGHT
WHAT A ROUNDER SAW IN ONE
NIGHT’S WANDERINGS.
A Brutal Assault A Scene In the
Chamber of Death and a Practical
Joke on a Wearer of Good Clotßes.
New York, Deo. 10.—If you set out to
see New York on a favorable night you will
behold enough to fill several chapters of his
tory. There is never a night when the av
enues of excitement are closed, but there are
times when the ordinarily busy places are
comparatively dull. It was on one of the
favorable and brisk uights when a rounder,
accompanied by a literary man, set out to
see the familiar but always interesting spec
tacle of the metropolis. Their experiences
began at 8 o’clock. They met a well-dressed,
convivial gentleman, who invited them to a
well-known saloon to drink to many happy
returns of his birthday. It is a place much
frequented by pugilists, 'wit reasonably or
derly. One one side of tho room hangs a
picture of brutal Bill, ijkycs, ths .most for
bidding of all Dickons’ characters. At a
t able directly under fche picture sat a man
who looked al the world like the artist’s
conception of Rjli/riykes. Ho had a beefy
neck and a iirutal face. The well-dressed
fentleman knew him and playfully stroked
is big head. Sykes seemed to take it in
good pai t, and the well-dressed gentleman
invited him to have a drink. Svkes took it,
and theu the rounder and literary man
urged the gentleman to come with them. He
started to go with them, when Sykes, whom
drink seemed tp-tiave suddenly made crazy,
sprang up, seized him by the collar and
threw him to the floor with terrible force.
Instantly ho sprang up, threw off his coat
and prepared for a fight. Sykes, with tho
l-omark: fPm bound to lick "you before yon
leave this place,” peeled his coat. The
"entlenian was slender, and Sykes would
have killed him if he had once lie
■gue die assault on him. Friends stepped lie
tvfeen them, and a particularly brave man
10! Sykes away. The rounder anil his com
panion w Iked away and turned down Sixth
avenue. several young mashera were
standing f*i front of the entrance to one of
the blocks on the avenue and ogling women
ns they went by. A comely, well-dressed
young woman, accompanied by a plainly
clad man in working clothes, walked along.
One of the mashers aooosted her. Her
companion resented it and stepped up to the
masher with an angry imprecation. The
masher, having friends with him was brave
and struck the plainly-attired man. He hit.
I lack and at once there was the liveliest kind
of a fight. The woman who had been the
innocent cause of the trouble began to
scream. A policeman dashed forward and
arrested the plainly-dressed man, wereupon
(ho woman set up the cry: “That’s my hus
band! He didn’t start the fight!” Her
piercing screams could be heard blocks
away. The policeman was obdurate. AVhen
the rounder, who had observed the whole
affair, exulaiaed the case to the policeman,
be hesitated n moment and then arrested tho
masher as well as the liuslwind and, followed
by the wailing wife, led the way to tho
nearest police station.
The rounder and his companion made
their rv to a.well-known restaurant on
Broadway frequented by theatrical people
and men of ad calling bent upon the on
joy men t, of life. One of the latter was an
x .senator who is noted as a practical
joker. Beside him at table sat a thea
t ideal agent, the pride of whose life is a
splendid cape overcoat. The Senator had
t lie agent’s coat removed while he was not
looking and then excused himself a mo
ment. At the door of r neighboring thea
tre he met a weazened little fellow who
works as watchman in the house. He wore
a cheap overcoat that would have been too
small for the average 12-year-old boy.
“What will y take lor the use of that
coat for oue L./ rf asked the Senator.
The little fell, w looked astonished but
concluded that it would be worth a dollar.
His coat was worth 110 more than double
that sum. The Senator slyly hung the lit
tle coat in the place where the big agent's
coat bad been. When they had finished
luncheon each put *u Ins coat. The agent
leached for his in an absent-minded man
ner. When the waiter, who had been let
into the secret, attempted to help him on
with the threadbare garment and he dis
covered the sell, he lost his temper for a
moment. Then the owner of the coat
walked in and solemnly bore it away.
Everybody laughed and the agent con
cluded it was well to do the same and t urn
off the joke with a bottle of wine. After
plaguing him an hour the Senator returned
liis coat and the rounder and his com
panion left. By this time it was after mid
night.
The rounder ordered a cabman to drive
him and his companion to tho latter’s lodg
ings. The cabman was a sturdy Irishman.
Wiien his passengers had disembarked the
literary man recognized him as an old ac
quaintance,
“Do you know,” asked the literary man,
“that your brother is dead:” They were in
a saloon at the time, and the cabman was
about to take a drink at his passenger’s ex
pense. He set down his drink uutasted,
turned white and said:
“Great heavens! is that so?”
The brothers had been enemies ami had
not spoken for years. The cabman hesi
tated a moment and then dashed out of the
saloon. ‘ He did not stop until he reached the
house where bis brother lay dead.
AVatchers were beside tho coffin in the
d.inly-lighted chamber of death. The
cabman, paying no heed to them, pushed his
way to the cottin where luy his brother.
Death had swept away the animosities of
years. He bent over the dead man, stroked
Ills icy forehead, and then, with a cry of
anguish, bent over and kissed the face of the
corpse. It was a ghastly scene. The
watchers, not knowing who lie was, strove
to remove him, but he pushed them aside.
The widow and her children, attracted by
the noise, cans*, in and eyed him coldly.
The rounder and his companion w ho stood
with uncovered heads in the room w ent out,.
Ten minutes later the cabman, his honest
face stained with tears, mounted his vehicle
and 1 ode away into the night.
“This is a great town,” said the literarv
man.
“Yes, let's have another bottle,” ex
claimed the rounder.
They had it, and ns the clock in a neigh
boring steeple was chiming 3 they separated
to retire. They had seen little, if any,
more in variety than the average man about
town beholds of a night.

TWO VIEWS OF RICHARD K. FOX.
Unsuccessful Negotiations for Paint
ing and a Delicate Display of Taste
In Tobacco.
New York, Dec. 10.—Richard K. Fox,
the sporting man and publisher of various
periodicals that are not rated very highly
by conservative people, cuts a considerable
figure in this city on account of his great
wealth and his extravagant style of living.
He is, as might reasonably tie expected, a
very ignorant man, and occasionally he ex
poses himself in a ridiculous way. Although
he employs a score of skillful artists in the
publication of liis papers and books, he
knows nothing whatever about art in itself
or about the work required of an artist.
He met one of his artist acquaintances the
other day, and in the course of
tion suddenly said -.
"By the wv.v, Mr. 8., what would you
take to paint mo a first-class picture, about
a foot avid a half square, and have in it a
rocky coast, or the sea, or something like
that; line, you know. What would itcost?”
“Well, Mr. Fox,” replied the artist, “I
should think I could give you a pretty good
picture of some such scene for $75.”
Now, Fox did not know enough about
painting, even in its commercial sense, to
realize that this was a fairly low price for a,
picture of the size and quality indicated.
The figure struck- him as rather steep, and
he said:
“Well, I don’t know. Now, you know, 1
don’t know much about painting, and how
would 1 know, if I paid you $75 tor the pic
ture, that there was as much paint on it as /
would come to that? I don’t know anything
about the price of paint.”
The artist, it is needless to say, could
make no satisfactory answer to this ob
jection, and the bargain was not con
cluded.
Another story about Fox was told to ine
by a gentleman who had occasion to call
upon him at his office. He was received
with effusive cordiality, and alter a few
mements’ conversation on business Mr. Fox
asked him if he would not have a cigar; and,
on receiving an affirmative answer, went to
his safe and drew from its inmost recesses
an ordinary cigar box with a Custom
House stamp on it. It was about three
quarters full of cigars, and as he passed
tne box to liis visitor, he turned it in such a
way that a scrap of commercial note paper
winch bail been laid on the top of the cigars 1
was plainly visible to the guest. Upon it
hail been written, “155 rents, straight.”
With rare delicacy Mr. Fox made no allu
sion to the price lie had paid for the cigars,
but when he was certain that his guest had
seen the legend upon the pa|ier, he asked:
“That’s a pretty good article, isn’t it?”
The guest jier force had to respond that it
was something superfine. In private con
versation afterward he admitted, however,
that he was unable to teli the “35 cents,
straight,” cigar from the ordinary three
for-a-quarter that he smokes every day.

OVER IN CHARLESTON.
Happenings in South Carolina’s Me
tropolis City.
Palmetto Division Uniformed Rank
Knights of Pythias was instituted in
Charleston Friday night by Col. A. M.
Haywood, of Brunswick.
The new Charleston census has just been
completed. There has been since the last
census in 1885, an increase in population of
2,212, or nearly 4 per cent., the total popula
tion in 1885 being t>0.145, ami the total pop
ulation by tho present census 62,357. Ac
cording to the United States census the
population of Charleston in 1880 was 40,-
934. In seven years the population of the
city has increased 12,373, or about 25 per
cent.
Tho owners of rice mills in Charleston are
awaiting with a good deal of interest the re
sults at a machine which has just lieen in
troduced for utilizing rice chaff as fuel in
rice mills. The machines are said to be very
extensively used in New Orleans. They con
sist of a steam syphon, which is attached to
the boiler and blows tho chaff by means of
super-heated steam into the furnace, where
it burns on top of the coal. It is claimed
for the machin j that it saves about 20 per
cent, of coal, thus utilizing the chaff, which
is otherwise of no value.
The News and Courier calls attention to
the fact that t< i-day is the last Sunday be
fore the Charleston city election, and adds
Mint, of course all the candidates will go to
church, and it is hope i they will give earn
est heed to what they hear. In all the
churches the “Lord’s Prayer” will doubtless
be said, and tho Acids aud Courier thinks
there is just one of its petitions which might
well be considered by the Independent can
didates. It is the sixth petition, and reads
as follows: “And lead us not into tempta
tion, but deliver us from evil. ' The reason
for this petition, as Matthew Henry puts it,
is: “Temptations are to be prayed against,
both because of the trouble and danger of
them, and the guilt and grief that may fol
low. "
ON KAIL AND CROSSTIE.
Local and General Gossip in Railway
Circles.
The Atlantic Coast Line has adopted the
AVestinghonse system of automatic signals
in place of the bell system now in use for
starting and stopping trains. The new
system is said by railroad men to be a great
improvement upon the old. The cars are
now being equipped with it aud it will
soon be used exclusively on all passenger
trains run over this line. Instead of the
clumsy gong and bell rope, by means of
which the conductor now gives his orders to
the engineer, the WestinghoUss system con
sists of a small whistle which is placed in the
cab of the engine and is operated by means
of air valves attached to each car in the
train. The valves are opened by pulling a
cord which extends through the entire train,
so that the conductor has no trouble in sig
naling the engineer from any car in the
train. The valves are supplied by the same
power that works the air brakes, and are
connected by means of rubber joints under
the platforms, just as in the case of air
brakes. The new system is said to be the
more reliable in every way, as there is less
danger of breakage than with the bell rope,
and the conductor is able to give his signals
more quickly, more easily and more dis
tinctly.
We Cut From the Start.
Many merchants got all they can for their
goods during the height of the season and
rely on alleged low prices to work off the
surplus stock on the eve of anew season.
We think differently. AVe make it a rule
to try and sell our goods with the season,
being satisfied with a continual small profit
in preference to a high-priced “spurt” and
then a big stock to carry over at the end of
the season. In other words, we put the
lowest living prices on our stock from the
start, and do not. trust to luck or “below
cost” sale—that hoary-headed old chestnut—
to work off what is left. Ho much for the
wedge. Now for the maul to drive our
arguments in.
Our stock has been augmented by our
holiilan selections, comprising special gar
ments, Suits, Overcoats, Neckwear, Silk
Handkerchiefs and Furnishings for the gala
season; many novelties, all gems of the
manufacturer's good taste. We have a
pretty line of l’riuce Albert Suits, not only
the well-known blacks and blues, but in
mixed goods. Also a dashing line of four
button Cutaway Suits. In short, our entire
stock indicates the merchant tailor rather
thaii tho ready-made dealer, without the
merchant tailor price. The Big Golden

History Knocked Out.
The omission of a paragraph in the article
in yesterday’s Morning News on “A
Church’s Estate,” caused a serious break in
the history of that ancient and revered relig
ious body, the Independent Presbyterian
church. In the article it was stated that
the first grant of a site for a church was
made in 1791. In point of fact the original
grant was made 35 years before that. On
Jan. lti, 1756, King George 11, granted
Jonathan Bryan, James Edward Powell,
Roliert Bolton, James Miller, Joseph Gib
lions, William Gibbons, Benjamin Farley,
AVilliam Wright, David Fox the youuger
and John Fox “all that public lot in the
town of Savannah, in our province of Geor
gia, known by the letter K, in Decker ward,
containing 60 feet in front and 180 feet in
depth,” for a meeting house, for the use of
such of his majesty’s subjects as shall be
professors of the doctrines of the Church of
Scotland agreeable to the Westminster Con
fession of Faith. A condition attached to
this grant was that a meeting house should
lie erected thereon within three years, other
wise it should revert to the Crown. The
grant of 1791 was then made.
The Title Guarantee Company.
The subscription list to the stock of the
Title Guarantee and Loan Company of
Savannah is rapidly filling up. AVhen the
number of shares subscribed for reaches
750 the corporation will lie organized and
will proceed at once to do business. From
present indications the organization will be
completed at an early date.
The advantages claimed for this corpora
tion are that the stock will be very valua
ble. because in addition to the interest ac
count, its revenues will lie swollen by the
legitimate charges made for guaranteeing
titles and the other business in which it
will lie engaged, and the fact that there will
be no dead capital. The names of the cor
porators commend it to public confidence,
ami if the stockholders exercise care in the
selection of directors and officers, it will
hardly fail to prove successful.
A Wonderful Food and Medicine.

My patients say it is pleasant and palatab’e,
and all grow stronger and gain flesh from
the use of it. I use it in all cases of wasting
diseases, and it is specially useful for chil
dren when nutrient medication is needed, as
in marasmus." T. W. Pierce, M. I).,

OBITUARY.’ ~
IvirTlsabella PIERCE WILLINK.
The widow of the late Thomas M. Willink, and
a daughter of James Kennedy, of this city, de
ceased, died on the 10th of November.
To a large circle of relations and friends Mrs.
Willink was known as a cheerful, generous
hearted. brave Christian woman. Throughout
her protracted and exhausting illness our de
parted friend manifested the utmost patience,
never murmuring under her sufferings, hut
meekly submitting herself in all things to the
Divine will.
She was always tenderly considerate of those
who so lovingly and nnweariedly ministered to
her, and even in her extreme illness never for
ffot to recognize their kindly offices with true
nstinctive courtesy.
Surely her example may well serve to illus
trate and commend the religion she had so long
and so faithfully professed. Her life was holy
and pure and was tilled up with useful labors,
her daily hou>6hold duties l>eing chiefly the
sphere in which she sought to live unto Christ,
and her death (as we might well expact such.a
life to terminate) was particularly peaceful and
happy She fell sweetly asleep in Jesus, hope
fully looking for the general resurrection in the
last day, and the life of the world to come,
through our Lord Jesus Christ.
“Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord, for
they rest from their labors and their works do
follow them.” A Friend.

Our home is sad aud lonely,
Since mother’s dead and pone;
We know she has left us only,
To find in Heaven a home.
But, oh! how sad it was to part,
From our loved mother dear;
It almost broke her children’s hearts,
And caused them many a tear.
But then we know she dwells above,
And will guide us ou our way,
Then she will greet us all with love.
On the great Judgment Day.
