GRIFFIN GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 23 1888
HE BESTED MORRISSEY’.
Jim Fisk’s Office Boy’s One Round
the Prize Ring Statesman.
New York Sun.
0. N. W hite, chief paymaster
the New York, Lake Erie and West
ern Railroad Company for
yeais, has resigned. lie is succeeded
hy Peter F. Donohue, who was Pay
master White’s assistant. When
Fisk and Gould were in control of the
Erie, Peter Donohue was Fisk’s office
boy. fie was a slight built boy,
his eye was always on the right
of business.
One day Fisk gave orders to Peter,
who sat at the outside door of Prince
Erie’s office in the orrand Opera
House building, ihat he would be en
gaged in some particular matters and
must be out to every applicant, no
matter who it might tie. At that
time John Morrissey and Fisk were
great friends, and Morrissey happen
ed to want (o see Fisk that day on
some important businsss. Peter
knew of the high regard Fisk find far
John Morrisey, and the latter was in
the habit, when he called at the Erie
building, of walking into Fisk’s office
unannounced and without ceremony.
On this day he was passing, when
the tbree-foot-and-n-half office boy
rose up and told the Congressman
that he couldn’t pass.
“flow’s that?” said Morrissey.
“Mr. Fisk is busy and can’t see any
body,’’ replied Peter Donohue.
“He’ll see me,” said Morrissey.
“No, hegwon’t,” insisted the boy.
The persistence of the boy rather
nettled the ex prize fighting states
man, and be said testily and taking
a step toward the door:
“Do you know who I am?”
“Yes,” said Peter coolly; “you’re
John MorrisseyP’
“Well,” said Mr. Morrissey, “I
guess Mr. Fisk will see me.”
With that he swept the diminutive
office boy aside and strode toward
the door. His hand was on the knob,
but he did not turn it. Peter Dono
hue sprang on the broad back of the
former athlete and climbed up it like
a monkey. He threw his arm around
Morrissey’s neck and gave it squeeze
that shut the big man’s wind off, and
forced him to give all of his attention
to freeing himself from the determin
ed office boy’s grasp. He finally sue
ceeded, but when the novel struggle
was over the office boy stood again
between the Congressman and Fisk’*
door.
“Mr. Fisk gave me orders to let
nobody in there,” exclaimed Peter,
“and you can’t go in. That’s all
there is about it.”
Morrissey’s anger quickly gave
way to admiration of the boy’s pluck
and faithfulness, and, laughing heard
ly over his defeat, he went away.
He told Fisk next day about his cn
counter with Peter and how the latter
had “downed him.” Nothing in all
of Fisk’s remarkable career ever plea*
ed him so much as the “mill,” as he
called it betwen Morrissey and Dono
hue. The hoy was rapidly advanced
by Fi>k, and one of the direct results
of his affa’r with Morrissey is his ; *et
ent place at the head of the most im
portant branch of the Erie Railway’s

THE WONDERS OF TUE NEW HOTEL
AT ST. AUGUST INK,
At Which No Commercial Traveler Need
Apply—Jake Menko’s Per-
sonal. Experience.
As was btifcfly remarked in jester
day’s paper, Jake Menko was in fowD
on ruesday. But the bate anuouuca
ment did not convey the fact that
Jake was all brokeu up. He looked
dazed, as though overcome by some
great calamity from which he had
not fully recovered.
The fact is—let it be broken gent
ly to his friends—that Jake for once
iiihis life had been paralyzed. He had
attempted to take in the grand new
Ponce de Leon hotel at St Augustine,
Fla., and had been taken in himself.
Now, Jake i.t uo sard'ne and we
must acknowledge that the cards
were badly stacked against him.
With a friend from Albany and
another from Valdosta, together
with theirfaoiilies*.* represen ting, Jake
said, a hundred thousand dollars
each, while ho didn’t represent a
cent—he thought he was pretty sul
id until he got into the front yard
of the hotel, where he found thirteen
fountains playing, with au orange,
a mango and a marmalade tree be
tween each. Thirteen is an unlucky
number, and that many fountains
threw a great deal more wafer than
Mr. Menko ever thought was nee
essary. To couvey some idea of the
size of the hotel, suffice it to say
that it covers five acres of ground,
and that if the Kimball House, of
Atlanta, and the Lanier House and
Academy of Music, of Micot, were
put in the froDt yard you would not
notice them unless you stumbled
over them among the children’s play
things.
Entering through eight glass
doors, which flow open as scon as
they put their feet on tho top steps,
tkoy were received by sight clsrks,
cashiers, &c., each of whose business
was to tell them that, they had tack
led tho wrong man and to refer them
to tho next. Finally Col. Menko
found tho man with the largest dia
mond, and with his usual saDg
froid he said:
“I suppose you make tho usual re
ductions to commercial travelers?”
Cold and keen the atewer came:
“This hotel was not built for com
roeicial travelers, sill”
Jake Menko fell fainting into the
arms of bis friends, as if he had been
struck by a Dakota blizzrrd. Never
hid a commercial traveler received
such an answer before in all the ex
perience of himself or his numerous
friends.
In order to brace him up a littlei
his friends proposed that thev take a
little luncheon. Jake said he bad
eaten a lunch before Ijts of time,
both in e and otherwise, but he
thought he would iii.c sto what a
regular : (poire out “luncheon” was. !
When h through he insisted np
on paying for if, and that little extra
8) liable cost him just fifteen dollars.
In the < fiiee of this magnificent
eJifice''- ■: forty two thousand dollar
clock ti n plays a tune eyery time it
strikes, audit strikes the cpiarter
hours. Every time it struck, too,
our party saw the cashier put a dol
lar extra charge on the bill of every
man in the office for music.
At night there was a grind ball
and the geutlemcn thought they
would eacort the ladies of the party
to it AucorcliDgiy tbey bracked np
and Jake buttoned up his handsome j
diagonal Biince . Albert ... . and . headed , , ,
.... the oartv in. when man met them
a
'
and tola them they ouid ,, not enter.
J
Well. I guess 0 we can. raid Col. i
xtenko; , we are guests ... of the house !
and are eoliLled lo all it, privilege,, j
It don’t make anv difference, you
can’t come in here unless yon have
on a swallow tarf.
Not baviug any swuliow tails in
their valises and it being a bad night
• to catch swallows, they found some
friends with split coats who escol t
ed their ladies in, while they hung
around the door and listened to the
music as Jake 6aid, “like a lot of nig
gers who couldn’t gat in the circus.”
There are thirty bands playing dur
fbgtho t.ay on the outside of the ho
tel and the same number inside, and
they were till playing at night for the
ball.
So on tiring of hanging on by their
eyebrows in this way, our friends
thought they would go down and
take a drink They seem lo hare
been a little late iu coming to this
determination, but they finally got
there.
They found a bar room with a bar
of white marblo yard wide and stretch
ing ns far as from Uncle Bill An
dre*>a‘ to the Nelms House, aud all
in one piece. They rapped soveraj
times but no one came. Presently
Jake espied au electric button and
touched it. and the cashier came out
of a box that they hadn’t noticed
and asked them what they would
have, They called for three whiskey
straights.which au attendant brought
them, nDd it was seventy five cents.
Jake thought it was ahuut time for
him to set ‘cm np again and called
for cigars.
What kind will you have ?
Ob, carelessly, give us the best
you have got—but, by the way, how
much will it be; you might as well
take the money now.
Dollar and a half.
Jake tried to compromise on
‘‘straight tens,” but they had noth
ing for less than a cpiarter. He was
not surprised afterward to find that
the receipts of the bar were from
$400 to $1,400 a day.
The party heard the proprietor,
who is v;ce president of the Stand
Oil Company, talking to some friends
who asked him how ho came to build
such a hotel. Ob, he said, it was a
hobby of mine, mj income is seven
millions a year and this has so fa i
only cost a little over half a year's in
come. But I am not through yet. I
expect to spend thirty thousand ex
tra on preparations for Cleveland’s
visit.
Mr. Menko and his friends stopped
at tho hotel less than a wtc-k, hut
bis own legitimate itemized expene
os—such as he could charge to the
house—were $195. This does not
include drink* and cigars. While
Jake is not the kind of man to care
for expei. s, at the same time ho
will not take iii the Ponce de Leon
every trip.
Out of regard for the feelings of
our readt ■ s wo have not mentioned
the name of t hotel any oftener in
this f.itich-. than obliged to do to.

RESENTED THE CHARIVARI.
Bridegroom of SfTenty*flv** Who
Used Ilia Muscle toGood Effect.
Coxneixsviixe, Pa-, Feb. 2*2,—A
few nights ago Levi D. Stevc-ns,
aged seventy five, a well known eiti
zen of Washington township, this
county, was married to Mrs. Amanda
tSteveus, widow of the bridegroom’s
broth or. A large party of young
tuen wont to the residence of the
brido und groom and with tin horns,
pans, horse fiddles and other discord
ant implements proceeded to give
the couple a serenade. After it had
lasted a half hour the bridegroom
appeared at a window and told his
eerenaders that he had no animosity
toward them and appreciated their
attentions, but nn'oss they went
away within lea minutes ho would
come out and inflict such chastise
ment as would be eminently appro
priate. The band greeted the old
gentleman’s remarks and warning
with a howl of derision and began
to play. Promptly on the expira
tion of the ten minutes grace the
front door of the residence opened
and the groom catue forth. He was
gr< eted enthusiastically. His first
acknowledgment of the salute was to
seizj the leader of the band, jerk
from iis hand the tin horn he was
performing on, and plant his fist be
tween tbs leader’s eyes. The leader
went down and stayed down. Then
the blissful bridegroom, as is descrih
ed by oue of the serenaders who ear
ly in the game took a fence, swept I
the tin horn right and left aud two
more of the serecaders went down
like reeds before the wind. But tho
tin horn wa3 mined. Then the
bridegroom's dander rose. He clutch
ed a youth who had some local repu
tation as a knocker out and doer up,
hut on this occasion was developing
surprising talent as u horse fiddle
virtuoso. He clutched this youth,
and, before the youth had time to
bring into play his talent as a slug
ger, raised him clear off the ground
and hutled him bodily against a sur
prised but previously noisy yoang
man who had been throwing his soul

ilium of a large stick and tin can j
