LIVE HEART IN DEAD BODY.
A New York Newsboy Puzzles the
Doctors at a Hospital.
From the New York Times.
At 11:15 o'clock last night it was just
nine hours and forty-five minutes since
William Holland, a 16-year-old newsboy,
had drawn a natural breath. But in all
that time his heart had not ceased to beat.
The physicians at the Manhattan hos
pital, where the boy apparently died at
1:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, are
puzzled and astonished over the case.
Ho far as the physicians know, there
has never been a case before where the
heart has continued to beat so long after
natural respiration has ceased.
Holland lived with his widowed mother,
Mrs. Virginia Holland, at 516 West Odo
Hundred and Fifty-ninth street. Friday
night he was out selling papers, as usual,
and got thoroughly wet, but that was
nothing unusual, and he went home, had
his supper, and went to bed feeling as
well as ever. He woke his mother Sat
day morning about 3 o’clock and com
plained of having severe pains in his neck
and in the back of his head. She pro
cured some simple remedies and did what
she could for him, and he tossed rest
lessly the rest of the night, and in the
morning was very feverish.
As he did not get better during the day,
his mother sent for a physician. The
boy's condition still remained about the
same until yesterday morning, when he
became suddenly worse, and a call was
sent to the Manhattan hospital for au
ambulance.
Dr. Belknap went with the ambulance
and found the boy quite ill and seemingly
suffering from pneumonia. However,
William declined to lie down in the am
bulance, but sat up and chatted with the
doctor during the journey to the hospi
tal.
They reached the hospital just before! :30
p. in., and tbe boy was taken up stairs
and put to bed. Not ten minutes later he
suddenly gasped and aparently died.
The orderly in the room ran to Dr. Bel
knap and announced the sudden death,
and the doctor hastened to the bedside.
When he arrived, the boy was seem
ingly dead. Dr. Belknap began an ex
amination and discovered that, although
the boy had apparently died, there was
still a feeble pulsation of tbe heart.
Restoratives were applied, and artifi
cial respiration produced by working the
arms just as is done in cases of those who
have been nearly drowned.
The result of these efforts was soon ap
parent. The heart beats grew stronger,
and the color of the face changed from
the hue of death to, one which plainly in
dicated that life blood was still flowing in
the vein and artery.
But still the body lay inert, and there
was no sign of life save the beating of the
heart. Not a breath could be detected by
the most careful test. Indeed, repeated
trials showed that whatever of life was
left in the body was in the mysterious
beating of the heart unaccompanied by
natural respiration.
When artificial respiration had been
continued some time, it was stopped for a
moment, to show whether it would be
naturally continued, but at once the face
became black, and the heart throbs died
away so fast that artificial respiration
was at once resumed.
The case showed such remarkable
features that Dr. Belknap sent for Drs.
Baruch and Wilkie, the attending physi
cians of tbe hospital, and they came
promptly and lent their closest attention
to the case.
They, however, could no more solve the
mystery of this death in life than could
the physicians in attendance. Hour was
added to hour and still the heart beat on.
Again and again the experiment of stop
ping the steady working of the arms was
tried, but each time the result was a rapid
relapse and the work was resumed.
Treed by Razor-Back Hogs.
“In my early youth I hired out to a
farmer in Hie mountains of western
North Carolina,” said a Virginia traveler
to a reporter for the St. Louis Globe-
Democrat. “Tbe farm raised little but
scrub com and ra.or-back hogs. The
latter were turned out in the woods and
ran at large all seasons, eating mast, and
becoming as wild as could be found in
Africa, in the spring it was the custom
to hunt these hogs up-and brand the pigs
similar to the rounding up of cattle on the
western plains. This was sometimes a
dangerous occupation, especially so when
the winter had been a hard one. One day
I started out after the hogs, and after
several hours' work tailed to find any of
them. Finally I saw a drove that had
taken refuge in a ‘rock house,’ the term
used in that country to designate the
space beneath overhanging rocks,. and
descending the mountain, I reached a
space near enough to them to recognize
them as the ones I was seeking. I had no
sooner satisfied myself upon this point
than the entire drove started for me,
headed by a large boar with
mammoth tusks. Realizing my
danger, I hastily climbed a
tree, hoping that when they could no
longer see me they would go back and
give me a chance to return
to the house and get assistance,
but in a minute they had
completely sorrouuded the tree and
were grunting and squealing amd fight
ing all around me. ■ I had dropped my gun
in climbing to a place of safety, and there
was nothing to be done except wait where
I was until they left. But they did not
leave; all night long they kept up their
infuriated squeals and by morning I was
completely exhausted from the cramped
position I had occupied so long. Finally I
attempted to change my position, and in
doing so fell from the tree, alighting upon
two of tbe hogs. Jumping to iny feet, the
animals made a rush for the place I had
fallen, and finding the bodies of two hogs
1 had struck they began to tear them to
shred*, losing sight of me altogether in
their wrangld over the remains of their
i o:nradon i started on a sun for the
house, and briuginc assistance, we killed
every bog, it being impossible to drive
them.”
THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, FEBRUARY 26. 1891.
BANKER OLEWS’ VIEWS.
Tbe Financial Outlook as Seen From
Wall Street.
New York. Feb. 24.—1n Wall street
speculative business continues to center
principally in the class of stocks known
as “the industrials.” The continued un
certainty as to what may be the final
status, in the new tariff, of certain
articles which these trusts control natur
ally gives to this group of stocks an active
speculative interest. This is especially
so in respect to sugar, the duty on which
still remains undecided. It seems to be
reasonably sure that the Senate will so
strongly favor some duty on
the article that the House may
consent to its removal from
the free list: and the best informed opinion
inclines to the expectation that the duty on
raw will finally rangf around I cent per
pound. The thing on which congress is
likely to differ widely is the duty on the
rehm-d article. The eastern members
of both houses seem to preponderate in
favor of a small protective duty on this
grade, sufficient to prevent importations;
and the south also is likely to favor that
course for obvious reason of interest. But
the west, which grows increasingly
rampant against any form of pro
tection, may be expected to oppose
any form or degree of favor to the
sugar trust. The difficulty of the sub
committee of the Senate finance commit
tee in readying a report is suspected to
cover some possibilities of a serious disa
agreement. Senators are said to find a
much more positive public hostility to in
corporating the income tax in the Wilson
bill than they expected to encounter; and,
in some quarters it is deemed possible
that the upper House may venture on the
experiment of returning the bill to the
House minus that odious and unpopular
clause. The longer the measure remains
in the Senate, the greater the danger of
miscarriage from this cause is likely to
become; for there can be no question that
the public hostility to the tax, through
the whole section from Chicago to Balti
more and Baltimore to Portland, Me.,
is most bitter‘and intense, and would
alone suffice to consign to oblivion the
party responsible .for the outrage of
adopting such a tax. It remains to be
seen what the clouds on the horizon may
betoken; but Wall street has its eye upon
them as involving possibilities important
to speculation.
In the railroad list, there is little new
to attract the attention of either invest
ment or speculation. The scarcity of
freight is calculated to encourage “cut
ting of rates,” and something of that kind
is now and then attempted, but on so
small a scale that it does not appreciably
affect general prices. Asa rule, quota
tions are steady and the “bears” find
little inducement to attempt raids.
Information comes from Paris to the
effect that the Bourse has in contempla
tion arrangements for putting on its regu
lar call a liberal representation of Ameri
can securities. Certain issues of our
government are now called on the Bourse;
but the proposal is to at once extend the
list to a selection of the bonds and stocks
of some our best railroads, and at later
period to broaden the list so as to make
this an important feature of the Paris
market. The distrust created by our
silver leanings is shown in a disposition to
exclude from the Bourse all those of our
securities the interest or dividends of
which are not payable expressly in gold ;
but this point does not seem to have been
finally determined. This movement ap
pears to have arisen, on theone hand from
a marked scarcity of transferable invest
ments in France and consequent low rates
of interest, and, on the other hand, from
the impressions made upon notable French
capitalists on their visit to the world’s
fair. So far as may be inferred from the
standing of the of this move
ment and from the 'reception it has met
with on the bourse, it seems likely that
the plan will be put in execution at an
early day. If so, its bearing upon both
investment and speculative interests at
New York cannot but be highly import
ant. For it is not alone a matter of cre
ating an early market for a Paris supply
of securities, but it will widen the Eu
ropean market for our investments, and
help to establish a much broader arbi
trage interchange in them as between the
several foreign financial centers.
The rates for foreign exchange continue
to rule, and under ordinary relations be
tween the home and foreign money mar
kets, gold would now be flowing to Europe.
Under existing conditions, however,
neither England nor the continent wants
more gold; but would prefer to allow
American balances to run until the rate
of interest improves. There is little prob
ability, therefore, of any noteworthy
shipments of specie being made; and were
it otherwise, the effect here, with our
abundant supply of idle money, would be
rather wholesome than otherwise.
“Lotus-Eaters in Florida.”
Curious rivals of the legendary lotus-eaters
are the English orange planters of Florida,
whose only occupation in a languorous land
“in which it seems always afternoon" is to
watch the oranges ripen, says the New York
Trioune "its a unique community," said a
rece.nt visitor. "Nearly all of them are peo
ple of culture and family; but they are
wretchedly poor, and most of them keep no
servants whatever, the women doing all the
housework and the men attending to the out
door deoartment. It is easy living in Florida
Everything seems to grow and ripen without
effort; vegetables are plenty, poultry Increase
and multiply without requiring much care,
and Chicago supplies butchers meat' at very
low rates Where impecunlosity Is the gen
eral condition, there is, of course, no worldly
standard to live up to.’ Some of these
knights of leisure are bachelors, and live to
gether in communities of two or three, doing
for themselves in happy go lucky fashion,
’they are by no means an unattractive
lot of young men. for they
have the pleasant qualities of the English
man. There is a certain trim style aDout
their clothing and manner of living, however
simple the latter or inexpensive the former.
They p ay tennis, or polo even, on occasions,
with,long-tailed horses taken fromthe plow
or pomes of all-work, smartened up for the
moment. It Is an unambitious life, certainly,
but not an unpleasant one. and as the oranges
yield a certain revenue (although one that is
far nelow their anticipations!, many who
have invested all their small capital In the
grove-i naturally hesitate to take the plunge
I into the world and measure their strength
and ability with the outside crowd of eager
aspirants and bread winners.”
"You must have rather a gay time there In
! Florida in th) winter,” said an acquaintance
to a young t-.ngllsh girl, whose father, are
tired British officer, bad put his little fortune
into an orange grove.
‘ Oh. cLar. no," was the reply given with
charming frankness. We are not at all
smart people, donti herknow, and we would
have no time anyway, as we do all our own
housework.”
Jim said the old colonel to his son, "I am
tired of seeing you speud your life on that
veranda; you have sat there for the last two
years. Don t you think you had better go
away?" All right, govner?" answered the
1 young man. and walked off.
"Where is Jim?' asked his sisters at din
| ner.
He has gone away. " answered his father,
and that was all that was said about tt. until
a few weeks later, when his mother re
marked. vaguely; I thought Jim had gone
to the Indian country, but someone told me
that he had oeen seen In Virginia."
it seems to ne an accepted article of faith
with the civilized mind that "fifty years of
Europe ’ arc worih a cycle of Cathay;" but
it Is rather pleasant, nevertheless while
struggling with a New York life, amid snow
and Ice. wintry east winds and howling bliz
zards from the west, to think of an existence
that i onsists only in living tn the land of
tlowcrs” and waiting for the oranges to
ripen."

THIS WEEK IN CONGRESS.
Three Important Matters Before the
Senators To-day.
The Tariff Bill to be Presented Before
tbe Republican Members of the Fi- 1
nance Committee, the Democratic
Senators to Caucus on the Tariff and
the Committee on Foreign Affairs to
Report on the Hawaiian Investiga
tion.
Washington, Feb. 25.—The present
week in the Senate promises to be barren
in legislation, but fertile in action looking
to the shaping of the policy of the party
in power on the tariff question. Three
very important matters are expected to
transpire to morrow —the presentation of
the tariff bill to the republican members
of the finance committee; the democratic
caucus with the same bill as a basis for
the discussion, in which dissatisfied dem
ocrats are expected to be most active; and
tbe report of the committee on foreign
affairs on the Hawaiian investigation. It
is not unlikely that in presenting this re
port, Mr. Morgan may make a long
speech.
For two weeks Mr. Bland has unavail
ingly striven to bring a majority of the
House of Representatives to the support
of his bill to coin the seigniorage of the
silver bullion in the treasury, or at least
to induce a majority to vote on tbe ques
tion of closing the debate on tbe measure
and thus bring it before the House for
disposition. Mr. Bland says that the
struggle will be kept up until the bill
shall have been voted upon if it takes all
summer. An impression prevails that tbe
necessary and long desired quorum will
manifest itself to-morrow or Tuesday.
But whenever that shall occur the fate of
the bill will still be undecided.
can’t pass without amendment.
A prominent member, who has not
taken an active part in the controversy
over the bill, but who has voted to con
sider it, said this evening: “I very much
doubt that the bill will be passed, even if
a quorum be secured to act upon it. In
my opinion it. will not be until it is rad
ically changed. If the republicans will
vote with the democrats who are opposed
to the bill in • its present form it
can bo shorn of its most objec
tionable features. The first section
can be changed so as to permit the issue
of certificates against the seigniorage
only so ftist as it shall be coined. With
the present mint facilities this would
amount to about $2,000,000 a month, dis
tributing the issue over a period of nearly
two and a half years. And the second
section can be stricken out altogether.
The proposition to incorporate authority
to issue bonds in the bill will not bo
adopted. With the changes suggested,
the bill will probably be passed, but not
otherwise.”
THE REPUBLICAN PROGRAMME.
The republican programme seems to be
to filibuster against the measure, even
after the presence of a quorum shall have
been secured. The committee on rules
expect to be called upon then for an order
to limit debate and take a vote. But ufttil
the quorum does appear, the members of
the committee say that the orders of
the caucus of last Monday to keep
the seigniorage bill before the House will
be carried out. /
Whenever the Bland bill shall have
been disposed of, the election cases of
O'Neill vs. Joy, from the Eleventh Mis
souri district, and of English vs Hilboru,
front the Fourth Colorado district, in both
of which the committee has reported in
favor of ousting the sitting mem Iters - Joy
and Hilborn—will be taken up, and after
wards the appropriations bills will be
brought forward. There are five of these
on the calendar, and four others, the
river and harbor, postal, naval and diplo
matic and consular, are practically com
pleted and ready to report at any time.
SUPREME COURT HISTORY.
Of the Men Who Have Been Nomi
nated Sixteen Failed of Confirma
tion.
Washington, Feb. 26. President Cleve
land’s strenuous efforts to appoint a suc
cessor to the late Samuel Blatchford as
associate justice of the supreme
court, recalls the similar efforts
of President Grant to appoint a successor
to Salmon P. Chase as Chief Justice
twenty years ago. Each made two nomi
nations that failed of confirmation and a
third that was confirmed without diffi
culty. In each case the President’s party
was in the majority in the Renata.
Chief Justice Chase died in New York
on May 7, 1873. On the first day of the
following December President Grant
nominated George B. Williams, of Ore
gon. an ex-senator and then Attorney
General, to the vacancy. There was in
stant and widespread objection to the
nomination. Mr. Williams’ professional
ability was called in question by his
brethren in the law, aad the great bar as
sociation of New York.adopted formal reso
lutions in opposition to his confirmation. A
large number of the principal newspapers
of both political parties condemned the
selection.
Unfortunately for Mr. Williams his
management of his office had
involved him in scandal. For
instance, it was charged that
he had bought for the use of Mrs. Will
iams a landaulet, and had paid for it out
of the contingent fund of the department
of justice. He had in consequence been
nicknamed in the public press “Laudau
let”o Williams.
Moreover, Mrs. Williams was not popu
lar with the other wives of cabinet offi
cers, and a great many detrimental stories
concerning her were circulated. To some
extent the fight against Williams took
on the form of a “ladies quarrel.”
To illustrate faintly this phase of the
contest, the following paragraph is
quoted from the regular correspondence
of a New York paper at that time:
"Mrs. Williams’ carriage blocks the
way. Politically and socially that de
partment landaulet has been in the way
of everybody and of every saloon, and has
used up a week of the precious time be
fore Lent. The ladies of the cabinet had
each agreed to give to Miss
Nellie Grant after h V ...onth of mourning
for Grandpa Dent, btA hopes had been en
tertained that Mrs. Williams would have
been out of the set before the invitations
were sent out.”
As early as Dee. 9 reports began to be
circulated that Grant would withdraw
Wiliams’ name, but the days grew into
weeks without action. Finally the holi
day adjournment was had with the nomi
nation still pending. On Jan. 5, 1874,
congress having reassembled Presi
dent Grant visited the capitol. He sent
for the republican members of the
judiciary committee, Edmunds. Freling
iiuyaeu, Conkliug, Wright and Carpenter,
all of whom, except (jonkltng. were un
derstood to be opposed to Williams. This
?tve rise to rumors that Williams would
>e withdrawn and Caleb Cushing’s name
be sent in.
On- the morning of Jan. 7 Hamilton
Fish. Kccretary of State, callod on At
toruey-Gsneral Williams at tbe latter's
office and represented to him that his
continued candidacy was seriously em
barrassing President Grant, aud that he
(Williams! ought to aend tbe President a
note asking hlui to withdraw his (Will
lams’; name from the Senate, [add
ing that this w* the only way iu which
President Grant and bis administration
could be relieved from embarrassment in
the matter. Williams yielded to these
representations, and that afternoon sent
a note to the President in accordance
with the suggestion of Mr. Fish. The
next day Williams’ name was with
drawn.
On the following day. Jan. 9, 1874,
Caleb Cushing was nominated to the
vacancy, and the same day the nomina
tion was favorably reported back from
the judiciary committee, despite
the fact that Mr. Cushing
was within a week of his 74th
birthday. Ho would have bean confirmed
that day had not Morton of Indiana,
objected to an executive session. This
delay enabled the opposition to Cushing
within the ranks of the Republican party
to organize. The republicans who op
posed Cushing did so because he had pre
sided over the Charleston convention and
bad cast his lot with the Breckenridge
wing of the Democratic party - in the
campaign of 1869. They recalled tne fact
that Gov. John A. Andrew, of Massa
chusetts. had declined to employ Mr.
Cushing in a military capacity in 1861,
despite his excellent record in the Mexi
can war. It was also claimed that he
denounced the reconstruction legislation
of congress as unconstitutional. The
contest grew very animated, and
finally a caucus of republican
senators was called to consider the mat
ter. Cushing's cause was advocated by
Sumner and others, who vouched for his
loyalty during the war, and for his sym
pathy with the reconstruction legislation
of congress. Had matters rested there
he would have been confirmed But they
didn’t. Senator Sargent, of California,
rose and read the following letter:
Washington, March 20, 1831.—Dear Sir:
Mr Archibald Roane, for the last six or seven
years a clerk in the attorney General 8 office,
desires from me a letter of Introduction to
you. and he desires it. not In the view of an
ticipating administrative favors, but that he
may have the honor of your personal inter
course. Of this I take pleasure in assuring
you. he is eminently worthy A southern man
by birth, family, and affection, he has care
fully studied an t ably discussed. In Mr. Ue
Bow s Review and other southern works, the
lamentable events which have been grad
ually undermining, and have at last
overthrown the American Union. While a
practical man, he is a ripe and accomplished
scholar, with, indeed, predominant literary
tastes and habits. In the discharge oi his
official duties, he has continued in a singular
degree the purest integrity and most enlight
ened intelligence, with m< dest contentment
In his lot. Having more than once declined
offices of m°t e conspicuous employment in
the public service, he now resigns his present
office from sentiments of devotion
to that community which alone he
can feel to be hts country, namely, the con
federate states, from one of which (Texas!
he was appointed I most heartily commend
him as a gentleman, and a man to your confi
dence and esteem, and. I am. with the highest
consideration. Your obedient servant.
C. Cushing.
Hon. Jefferson Davis, President of the
Confederate states.
Tbe reading of this letter put an end to
all chance of Cushing's confirmation.
Senator Sargent explained that that morn
intr he had received an anonymous note
calling his attention to the existence of
the letter ho had read, and tolling him
it was among the confederate archives
the government had bought and which
were then in its possession. He had gone
at once, he said, and examined these
archives, finding the letter he had Just
read and of which he had made a copy.
He had shown his copy to President
Grant and then had gone to the caucus
loaded for bear. Grant had the
original letter sent to him
for inspection, and immediately
decided to withdraw Cushing’s name.
Cushing, learning the turn matters had
taken, sent the President a note asking
that his name be withdrawn. It was a
superfluous aet on his part. His name
was withdrawn on Jan. 14, having been
before the Senate just six days.
Previous to his nomination for chief
justice, Cushing had been nominated aud
confirmed as minijker te Spain, a mission
he filled with to-himself and
advantage to his country. In connection
with this appointment an interesting
story is told. The Virginius affair was
still pending. President Grant sent for
Cushing and said to him:
“Mr. Cushing, I want you to go as min
ister to Spain.”
“Do you speak as a military man or a
civil official, Mr. President? In other
words, sir, is this an order or a request?”
"This is an order, Mr. Cushing,” re
plied Grant, with a smile.
“Very well,” said Cushing, "I will be
ready to go whenever the Senate confirms
my nomination.”
After Cushing's name was withdrawn
that of Morrison E. Waite, of Ohio, was
sent in for chief justice on Jan. 19. 1874,
favorably reported on the 20th, and con
firmed on the 21st.
Cushing’s letter was compared to that
which caused the expulsion from the Sen
ate on Feb. 5, 1862. of Jesse D. Bright, of
Indiana. Mr. Bright’s letter was as fol
lows:
Washington, March 1, 1861 —My dear Sir:
Allow me lo introduce to your acquaintance
my friend, Thomas B. Lincoln of Texas. He
visits your capital mainly to dispose of what
he regards a great Improvement In firearms.
I commend him to your favorable considera
tion as a gentleman of the first respectability,
and reliable in every respect. Very truly
yours, JEHRB D. Bright.
To His Excellency, Jefferson Davis, Presi
dent of the Confederation of States.
It is something of a coincidence that
both the gentlemen who brought Bright
and Cushing to grief hailed from Texas.
And it is another that Aaron A. Sargent,
who dis overed the Cushing letter, was
born in Newburyport, Mass., where Cush
ing, then a man of 27, lived and practiced
law, andi which, at the time of Sargent's
birth, he represented in the state Senate.
Another of President Grant’s nominees
for tbe supreme court, who failed of con
firmation, was E. Kockwood Hoar, as he
called himself, or Ebenezer R. Hoar, as he
appears in the records of the Senate.
While he was Attorney General he was,
on Dec. 15, 1869, nominated for associate
justice, and on Feb. 3, 1870, rejected.
There was no question of his ability, in
tegrity or loyafity. He was defeateid tie
cause he had an acrid temper and had
quarreled vigorously with republican
Seuators.
So far as can be gathered from the
published records the following is a eom
' plete list of nominations to the supreme
court which failed lof confirmation, ex
cept those named above and Hornblower
and Peckham:
John Rutledge', of South Carolina, ap
pointed chief justiceaby Washington in
1795. during the recess of congress. He
presided at the August term of the court
that year. In the following December his
name was sent to the Senate. That body
rejected the nomination. By some ac
counts. because be opposed the Jay
treaty with England, and by others be
cause bis mind had given away.
John J. Crittenden, of Kentucky, asso
ciate Justice, named by John Quincy
Adams in 1828. The nomination was in
definitely postponed.
Roger B. Taney, of Maryland, associate
Justice, by Jackson in 1833, This nomina
tion was indefinitely postponed on the
motion of Daniel Webster A few months
afterward, the Senate having changed
from whig to democrat, Taney was nomi
ted for chief Justice, vice John Marshall,
deceased, aud on motiou of James
Buchanan, confirmed by a vote of 25 to 19.
It is au interesting fact that John C. Cal
houn voted against Taney.
John C. Spencer, of New York: Reuben
N. Walworth, of New York, and Edward
King, of Pennsylvania, all by Tvler in
1844, and John M. Read. Of Pennsylvania,
by Tyler In 1845, All failed to be con
firmed, Spencer being tne only one actu
ally rejected.
George W. Woodward, of Pennsylvania,
nominated by Pol* in 1845 and rejected.
E A. Bradford, of Louisiana, nominated
by Fillmore in 1852 aud never voted on.
Jeremiah S Black, of Pennsylvania,
nominaled by Buzbauan In 1861
Henry Htuubery, of sOhio, nominated by
Johnson. Never reported from the judic
iary committee.
In all, including Mr. Hornblower and
Mr. Peckham, there have been sixteen
persons nominated to the supreme court
of tho United States who have failed of
confirmation. In other words, about 25
percent of all the nominations to the
supreme bench have failed to be con
firmed. Usually the cause of Ihe failure
to confirm has been a political one, but
this has not always been the ease.
WIMAN DEFENDED.
Lawyer Boardman Explains That He
Was a Member of the Firm.
New Brighton, Staten Island, Feb. 25.
—Albert Boardman, of the law firm of
Tracy, Boardman & Platt, to-uight gave
out a statement of Mr. Wiman’s case, in
which he says: “R. G. Dun & Cos., em
ployed Mr. NiooU as counsel.
He prepared a careful statement
of the case for the press. 1 have
freat respect for Mr. NL'oll, and have, no
oubt, he believes, hif statement of facts
correct. But it was inaccurate in many
things it did state, anikinaccurate in that
it did not state a number of most impor
tant and material facts. The funda
mental difference between Mr. Wiman’s
enemies and friends is that the former take
no account of the businoss relations be
tween Mr. Wiman, on the one hand, and
the firm of Dun & Cos., Mr. Dun individu
ally and the drawees of these checks, on
the other hand. Any one would suppose,
on reading Mr. Nicoll s statement, that
Mr. Wiman was a cashier or book-keeper
of R. G. Dun A Cos., and that he had no
individual business relations of any
kind, either with Mr. Dun or with
the parties in whose favor the
checks were drawn. The fact is,
that for years Mr. Wiman has not only
been a member of the firm of R. G. Dun
& Cos., but in the conduct of the business
has been the responsible head of the con
cern. Ido not suppose that Mr. Dun has
spent as many hours in his New York
office during the past ten years as he has
at his summer homo at Narragansett
Pier. I suppose that 90 per cent, of all
the checks drawn by R. G. Dun & Cos.
during that period have been signed by
Mr. Wiman Probably he has made the
same percentage of all the firm’s impor
tant contracts.
"For fifteen or twenty years he has
practically managed Mr. Dun's business.
He has handled millions of dollars be
longing to the firm of K. G. Dun & Cos. He
has probably signed 90 per cent, of all the
checks drawn during that period; he has
bought hundreds of thousands of dollars
worth of materials and supplies, made 90
percent, of the firm’s important contracts
and been in every sense of the term, up to
the actual division of the profits, about all
there was of R. G. Dun A Cos. When Mr.
Dun brought Mr. Wiman from Can
ada he was making little or noth
ing out of the business, but from the
moment Mr. Wiman took charge tho
profits steadily increased until Mr. Dun s
share amounted to $350,000 to $460,000 per
annum. Mr. Wiman’s friends and the pub
lic generally, including any fair-minded
jury, will, 1 think, find it hard to believe
thnt while Mr. Wiman was making for
himself out of the firm from S7S,(XX) to
$100,0(X) per annum and for Mr. Dun
S3SO,(UK) to $450,1NK), he was scheming to de
fraud his firm of about SIO,OOO through tho
foigery of names in noway resembling tho
genuine signatures of parties, and where
the only purpose and effect of the trans
action was to transfer from one bank ac
count against which he had the absolute
right to draw, to another bank account
against which he had the absolute right
to draw.
“If these eases are ever brought to
trial tho public will have a chance to as
certain the motive which lias prompted
this prosecution and I shall be much
surprised if at that time there
are not a number of very es
timable gentleman who, like Macbeth,
will tremble in their well-appointed
dining halls, and say. with quivering
lips, ‘Shake not th.v gory locks at me;
thou canst not sav I did it.’ Asa matter
of fact, I notice some of them are already
doing so.”
Unconscious Hero.
Charles G. Leland, according to the Chicago
Post, in talking of the nervousness incident
to being shelled during tbe war, says that his
captain. Landis who was exceptionally
brave, was once giving orders to a private,
when a shell hurst almost between the two.
The prlvute shied, but' Landis gruffly re
marked; “Never mind the shells, sir, they'll
not hurt you till they hit you!”
Long after the war Mr. Leland was walk
ing with Theodore Kashi!, and told him a story
of peril and heroism.
■ 1 don t see why I never can do anything
line or heroic like thntl” said Fassit, dole
fully.
“Theodore, I will tell you a story,” con
tinued the other. "Once upon n time there
was a hoy only 18 years of age, and It. hap
pened during the war that he was in a town,
and the confederates shelled It. Now, this
boy had charge of four horses, and the gen
eral had told him to stay In one place, before
a church; and he obeyed. 'lhe shells came
thick and fast, and by and by one took a leg
from one of the horses.
The boy was In a bad way. bnt he staid on.
After a time the general came along and
asked him:
4) Why on earth are you stopping there?’
“ ‘I was ordered to, sir,' was his reply.
“ ‘Get behind the church at once,’ cried the
general."
Why.” exclaimed Fassit, in amazement,
“I was that boy I”
He Obeyed Her.
Most American women have had embar
rassing experiences in social emergencies
says the Youth’s Companion. Perhaps none
was ever more trying than the adventure of a
lady noted in New York society for her
courtesy and savolr faire.
One winter day she started on tbe train for
Philadelphia, takiug her seat In what she
supposed was an ordinary parlor car. There
was but one other occupant, a somewhat stout
man, who sat with his back to her. Presently
he lighted a cigar and began to smoke The
lady coughed and moved uneasily, but Iter
bints had no affect. She said at last, tartly: ,
"You probably are a foreigner, sir. and do
not know that there is a smoking car attached
to the trais Smoking Is not permitted here."
The man. without reply, threw the cigar out
of the window.
A few moments later the conductor entered
and stared at her In dismay.
How did you come here, madam?” be in
quired.
"Why, where am I?”
"In General Grant's private car."
The mortified lady s usual tact failed her
here. She looked at the dumb. Immovable
figure, and retreated without a word.

TRAMP LIFE.
Experiences of a Young* Man Who
Travelled With Tramps.
From the Century.
I let! Buffalo for New York on the night
of the 16th, and arrived on the morning
of the 19th, although I took a very cir
cuitous route. 4 travelled from Buffalo
to Corr.v, P. A., over the Western New
Yorkand Pennsylvania railroad, and from
Corry I rode to Binghamton over the
Erie road. From this place I made a de
tour to Voorheesville. and then down tho
West Shore route to Weehawken, In or
der to confirm certain rumor* that I
heard of its hostility to tramps. Tho
entire trip was very tiresome and diffi
cult, because, in order to travel rapidly,
I was compelled to ride on top and on tho
“bumpers" of treight trains, and on the
trucks of passenger trains. My compan
ion. Pennsylvania Whitey. and I rode af
ter the latter fashion from F.lmira to
Binghampton. It was a terrible ride. We
made the mistake of getting on the truck*
of the rear car—a Pullman sleeper—ln
stead of a baggage car. In doing this we
suffered almost beyond description. The
gravel and dust flew about our faces until
the exasperation and pain were fearful.
When 1 arrived in Binghamton my eyes
were actually filled with dust, and I suf
fered with them for days after I arrived '
in New York.
There are tramps principally In the
west, who are much more skillful truck
riders than I can claim to be. But then,
they have to excel in this mode of travel
ing, or they could not get over the coun
try. For in the far west the brakemen
have no scruples about throwing tramps
off freight trains. In the east more civi
lized customs, prevail, and the tramp is
politely asked to "jump off after the train
lias stopped." Because railway civiliza
tion is so backward in the west, tho
tramps have invented a seat which
greatly aids their truck riding. They
call it a “ticket,” but it is only a small
piece of board, with two cleats nailed on
one side, which fit over a rod and keep
the seat firm. Some of these tickets aro
quite elaborate and are made to fold into a
coat pocket.
