A Significant Visit from Railroad Msn
A New Water Worts.
Columbus, Ga., April 2d— There were
some prominent raiir ;ad men 11 th a cry
to-day, and the object of their presence is
said to be to perfect arrangements for a
southern connection of with the Colu nbus
Southern railroad. The gentle uen are: H.
R Duval, receiver of the Ficrda Railway
and N vigation Company: J. 'V. B i-hn-il,
chief engineer . f the same company; J. G.
Tucker, land rgent of the same company;
W. B. Lowe of Atla ta, Lo ve Rierman ot
Baltimore, C. S. D ivis of Warm Snrings.
The party breakfasted at the Ra .king
house in company witn G. Gu .by J rdan,
Mai. W. S. Gie.m and otheis and soon
after breakfast left on a special train on the
Bue a Vista extension, in order to reach the
Columbus Southern cunps. It is under
stood that the Columbus Southern is now
to be hurriedly compl ted, and the visit
presumably has this object in vie w, in order
that the Florida system may ootaiii quick
connection via Colu nbus with ihe west.
This is an important movement, and will
make the railroad importance of Columbus
greater than ever.
NEW WATER WORKS.
It is said that application will soon be
made for a charter for the formation of a
new water works company io i e located in
the annex. The people in that section of
the city say t ey have wait das patiently
as possible for the Columbus company to
give them water, and as there seems to be
no imm diute prospect of having their
w ishes in thi. ma. ter gratified, they propose
to have worns of their ow i.

What an Easy Thing It Is to Fall Into
the fcoup-Father McGlynn Drops
Out—Cyrus W Field No Longer
Powerful—The Last Days' of Tom
Murphy, Minister Grant and His
Wife.
{Copyright
2 New York, April 20. —The most talked
of man m New York a few months ago
was tho Rev. Fatbor Ed 'in McGlynn. His
na ne was in the newspapers constantly.
A score of reporters watched every move
ment that he made. Every sentence that
dropped from his lips was eagerly gr abbed
up, and printed in the newspapers. He was
a hero in his way because he had defied the
church of Roms, crossed sword with Loo,
anl the ba.tle, to say tho least of it, was a
drawn one. It was not very diffio lit then
for him to crowd .Coiper Institute with
4,001 or 5,000 eager and howling men and
wome i who bslleve in the silvo'-tongued
oral r, aid who seemed 1 1 think him anew
Crusader. He wa; on the top wave of
popularity, and all Niw Yo”k, which in
cludes the rest of the world, from this
standpoint, seemed to be at at his feet.
Suddenly, however, ho awoke one day and
louud, to use tbe patoix of the Bowery tnat
he was “iu the soup,” a:d to-day bis name
is not eve i mentioned in any of the great
daily newspaiiers. A handful of men ad
women still believe in him and attend his
lectures, but there is no crush now, a id
no j stliu ; and pushing for scats. He has
simply dropped out of life so far as New
Yoik is concerned, and will remain so u .til
he gets tired of it, and creates anew sensa
tion. I saw Father McGlynn on tie street
to-day, broad of shoulder, deep of chest, a
Herc ules in build, with a face beaming aith
good nature, an i eyes that danced like an
Iri.-h girl in love but nobody knew him.
He had simply besu p ished aside in the
great rush and huriy-burly, because he has
had his say and his day, and has not stood
the test of novelty that New Yorkers de
mand.
Right behind him followed another man
equally as well-known, whose name is a
household word, whose contributions to
mankind have made them many times his
debtor, but w.o elboived his way turough
the crowd of men and boys without attract
ing ihe sligest attention. Just a year ago
his name was in all the newspapirs. He
was then at the head and front of the
Western Union Telegraph Company. He
mure thin any other man hid given Ne v
York its magnificent rapid tra sit system.
He was a bull in Wall street when it paid
to be bullish, and a bear when the lambs
were fat and juicy. It was nothing un
usual to see a crowd of ten or twenty
brokers at his heels as he hurried from one
private room to a lot er in his offi :o, wnile
all the tune the stock-ticker kept up its
merry little melody of tick, tick, tick, as
he raked the dollars in. But, like the tra
ditional pitcher, he went to the well once
toooften.and in a twinkling his mag lificent
fortune was lost, aid he was reducid to
the direst extremes. This is the reason
that this man ho gave the bed dinners
that were given ia town, who specu
lated always wiirtlv but surely, who
owned a $1,660,000 country re-i
--dence, whose yacht plowed the
North river, and took the waves from no
opponent, came to t.is greatness, and by
the same test he fell. He now- wales
through Wall street without a follower.
The banquet halls that ouca knew him so
well are now deserted. Tne jolly litt e
broker no longer follows at his heels. The
steam yacht has been s dd. Tne $1,000,0 )0
c untry re-idence is mortgaged for all it i;
worth. In the patois of the Bowery, he is
“in the soup.”
IDs name* Oh yes! Cyrus AV. Field!
It you happen ti he in the neighborhood
of the Fo t,-second stree depot about 4
o’clock of an af eruoon, and cast your eyes
up to the big plate glass windows of the
Safe Deposit Company whereia i s stored
tue Vanderbilt bods and je wels, you will
see sitting at a desk a well built, rouud
shouldered, gray paired man who a few
years ago was toe idol of the republican
politicians, and the ideal postmaster of
this city. It is Tom James, he who sat iu
G irtiold’s ca iinet as Postmaster General.
You can tell from his dress, a.id from the
placid look on his face that he lives well,
and is a' peace with all the world. But
the life he is leading now as the president
of the Safe Dopo it Company is not the
one which he crave;, and whic i suited him
so admirably during the stormy days be
lore Grover Cleveland’s rotund form rose
upon ihe horizon of our national politics.
In th*patois of the Bowery ”..e is iu the
soup.’ He is no longer consulted by poli
ticians. In fact t oy pay no attention to
him. He has hardly onougu influeiceto
get a policeman on the force or a b.ake nan
"ii the New York Central railroad s.istr-m.
Five years ag . he could have placed a i
army of dependents in power, aud Ins word
w as law from Lake Erie to Moutauk Point.
New men aid new measures have crowded
him off the track. His hank account is bet
ter than it was five years ago, but he is not
happy. Floundering “in the soup” is not
conducive to happiness in either man or
woman.
Let us turn the kaleidoscope again.
In the crowd of loiterers who pissed up
and down Broadway last Saturday after
noon was a short, tmck se 1 :, red-faced naan
of til) years of a e. He seemed to bo out
of place among the gaily dressed wo me i,
with Ih ir new spring clo hos, the odor of
violets, and tho Beau Brumrncls of our
later day. Yet, in his time ho was a king,
if not in name, at least in power. It was
Tom Murphy, ex-collector of the port of
New York. Ho was one >f Grant’s cronies,
a splendid machine politician, a man wh >
grew fat on the public service, who never
drank anything but champagne— lot that
he liked it, but.ueeause it was expensive, ad
it was his boast for years that no spent
Hi 10.' a day, every dtv of his life for wi ie,
for himself, and his friends. From bis ap
pearance now I iucilneto the belief that he
has changed from wine to beer. At any
rate, althougn he made and unnia i'e
scores of men, he is to-day practically wi.ll
-a triend. In the patois of the Bowery
“lie is 111 1 e soup.” It was M lfpliy who
brought Gen. Grant to L mg Brunch, and
he gave that sum ner resort its first great
boom. He was the master there as w.-li as
in the custom house, and ev ry dictate of
his will was religiously obeyed. His income
of IfOO.OUO a year as collector was not
onougn to koop him, an 1 when bn term ex
Hired he was lielplenly in debt, and has re
mained so ever since. To-day Ins clothes
uro old and faded. His linen looks soiled,
and Ins silk hat tins lost its glo-s. None of
the politicians kuo i Inni, or If they do,
care t 1 sp-uk to Inin, for they pass him bv
without a 1 'Ok or a nod. He see us t > be
c.sliiily wait! g tor the end— the big wave
that will sweep him up 011 to the shore high
and dry, or take bun out lutj the ocean
never to lie seen again.
Once more turn tho kaleidoscope,
This big brawny fellow with short stub
by board and dancing black eves is Col.
Fred Grant, our new imuht'r to Austria
He wears 11 Lock coat ot precise cut, and
looks as much ol uu athlete as John L. Sul
livan. The shy, timid-looking title woman
who hangs on his arm is his wile. She wa9
a Miss lluuore of C’hicag 1, a sister-in law
to Hotter I’almer, the millionaire hotel
keeper of tho Lake City. Those who ru
mour.<er the blushing young girl who was
described as the handsomest young bride
who ever wont into tho white house will not
recognize in this frail little woman the
beautv who set nil Washington agog when
F od Grunt brought her to the capital
city. At a guess 1 should say that she
weighs hardly 100 pounds, and is in str.ingo
counastwith the heirty-looking husband
at her side. She looks its delicaieas a bit
■if Sevres china. Her fra l little figure is
clothed in garments of tho latest cut. In
her home life Mrs. Grant is described as a
charmiuK woman who loves her children.
and who believes tha because a woman
marries she should no give up all her liie to
her home and her offspring. She is still a
student of literature amt of a; t, and
steaks French and Genoa i like a native.
She will make a positive hit in Ihe gay capi
tal of Austria, where pretty women are as
plentiful as wild strawberries in June. It
is safe to say that Col. Grant w ill cut a
pretty wide swath in Vienna Potter Pal
mer, his brother-in-law. is wealtiiv, and like
his wife is desirous of toc.al advancement.
It is tueir plan to spend a very large por
tion of each year in Vienna, and when it
comes to entertaining or giving dinners the
Austrians will find tuat they have met their
match in tbe Chic igo hotel keeper. CoL
Fred Grant looks better since his appoint
ment. After his inglorious defeat for i ffiee
in this city it was tnought that he would
never £gain aup ar in public life. In the
patois of the Bowery ho was “in the soup,”
and he would nave remained there to t but
for his mother, the widow of Gen. Grant,
who alone is responsible for his appoint
ment as minister to Austria.
Turn the kaleidscojie again.
This man who comes strolling along
through the Fifth avenue hotel corridor is
noue other than our friend Carl Sc ,urz.
His viciories a id his deleats are all behind
hm. You would recog izj him in a mo
ment, for the caricaturists have exactly
caught his expression. A few years ago u'e
was the idol of the Germau-A ne. icaus f
this city. His influence was great. His
name to a petition for office ineaut certain
victory. ’1 he announcement that ho wouid
speak in public always .irew an euormou;
crowd. His ipse id.rit was the ipse rii.rit
of ail loyal German-Americans. But the
day came when be too in tne patois of the
Bo.very fell “into the soup.” No.ie of ihe
politicians seem to know him, nor wbuld
caro for his ad; ice on any subject. He is
absolutely without influence, ad his name
is not worth the paper it is written on, ex
cept his f banker's. Personally Mr. Scaurz
was always the most companiona le of
men. He was a master of the art of cou
ve wation. He was a thorough musiciun,
aud something of an artist. He could si.
for hours drumming on his piano, and
whenever the cares of political life lay
heavily upon him he would dream tuem all
away while his long bony fingers wandered
rapi lly over the ivory keys. To-day he
walks along with the cro dof gay prume
naders but nobody recognizes bun. Ha
leans heavily on his cane for his broken
ankle still troubles him. If y u ask, how
ever, he will teli you that be is improving
rapidly, and in a little while will be as well
as e ver.
Quite a contrast to Mr. Sohurz is this old
feliuw who comes along wiM bowed shoul
ders, wrinkled face, laughing blue eyes,
and his coat collar turned up about his
neck. Ho looks as though he had just
stepped out of one of the i ages of Uans
Christian Andersen’s stories. Eve ybody
knows him, everybody bows to him, a ,and
he holds a reception from the moment he
leaves his room until he re-enters it. His
naijio is Barnum—P. T. Barnum.
“I am the ha ipiest man in New York,”
he ;ays, “for lam couteat, and that’s ail
there is of life. 1 have not long to live,
and I am enj ying n.ysolf the best i cm. I
like too see othe p ?ople ha >p, t <o, and if 1
say it myself I have dune my share in this
world to keep the clo .and of sorrow from cov
eri g old a id young."
Mr. Bariiun, in the patois of the Bowery,
has been "in me souu” a great many times,
but be has al ways managed to extricate
himself ton the tureen bei ire tue lid was
put on. He live; Ike a prince of the purple
in one of tue big uo el ■, aud his young and
pretty wife keep; him co nnany. ne lias
scores and sco.es of friends wno fid Ins
roo ii with fl jwers a id singing bird;, and
children wb >co .e to play with nun, and
older ones to gossip of an af ernoon, or
sing to him. His Dink account is so larg i
that tne old lad y on T rea lneedie street
might envy him. Kei; ii perf.ee health,
sleeps well, eats we i and e.i
jo s himself like a lad of twenty.
But the cord is not far off. Tis
prince of showmen has lived r.ow to the
tune ado ted by tha psalmist to man. Ha
has soU ed the problem of life, and earr.es
with him tha phii soput stone—content
