TIIE WEEKLY TELEGRAPH AND MESSENGER, FRIDAY, JULY 18, 1884. ACTORS IN SUMMER. Some of the Manners and Cuatoms that Prevail About Union Square. New York Timer. ‘•Bv tlic way, Josephus, do all actors stand around Union Square in the sum mer?” "No, not all of them. Why, my dear hoy, there about 0,000 of them in tho United States. Those fellows who stand around Union Square all day long are the riff raff of the profession, as a general thing. Not all of them can be classed under that term, for many a respectable actor loafs there.” "Why?” "Well,” jhey travel all the season and hence have no fixed place of aliode. Most of them are single men and when they come into New York they take n room in a boarding house. They don’t know what to do with themselves, so they spend much of their time in hang ing around Union Square. They call it the Itialto ” “What do they do on this Itialto?” "Well, one thing they do is to talk over their triumphs of the past season. JitmJ% llrown will spend hours in tell ing Johnny Jones how he ‘hogged ’em’ in Kalamazoo. That a as the most in telligent audience he ever saw. They VANDERBILT'S BRIDE. took every point in his part and aj plauded nearly every speech. After tho show he was introduced to several leading bar-keepers and pool-plovers and they sat up all night trying to raise each other out of jack-pots. Jimmy won |37 and lost it all the next day betting on a skating match in Oshkosh. The narration of experiences is inter spersed with visits to neighboring sa loons, where drinks are imbibed as of ten as any one can lie found to ‘set ’em up.’ And many are the dodges, Oh Ptarximander, to which the cunning fakir resorts in order to get his little drink. Let a man steal quietly into a place to take a solitary drink. In an other minute an acquaintance walks ii: and appearing not to see the drinker walks up to the bar and inquires of the bar-keeper: “ ‘Any letters for me?’ “ ‘Not to-day, Mr. Bilkins.’ “ ‘All, thanks.’ “He turns to go and catches sight of his friend. “ ‘Why, Johnny, old boy,’ he ex- rlaims, ‘when did you get Haven’t seen you in an age.’ “And if Johnny is not ‘lly’ he re sponds warmly to the greeting and or ders a drink for his friend. And the drink the friend takes—what do you suppose it is?” "Beer; that’s the cheapest.” ‘‘Ptarximander, the amount of igno rance you carry around with vounliout the theatrical profession would stock a school for actors. He takes an egg lliji or an egg lemonade.” "Why?” "Because of the nourishment con tained herein. Some of these fellows who hang around Union Square all the summer almost live iqion nutritive drinks of that kind. They are as full of cunning as the much-slandered mule.” "Josephus, when I want to learn how to live hereafter I will not go to the ant, but to the fakir.” "Quite right, Ptarximander. That Itialto in a great place in many ways. A wonderful amount of business is done there in the course of the sum mer. Actors and managers who do not wish to transact their business through the agencies do so there. It used to be the headquarters for busi ness before the agencies became so general. Now it does not liavo so much business patronage ns it did. though I understand that some of the old trade is drifting hock. The Kialto is becoming divided into smaller por tions, each devoted to a special line of work. They have what they call an ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin’ comer, for in stance.” ‘‘What is that?” “That is a place where the ambi tious players who are accustomed to exhibit their abilities in the ancient dramatization of Mrs. Harriet Beech er Htowe’s novel hold forth. There you will find on pleasant, warm morn ings perhaps five George Shelheys, six George Harrises, four Simon Legrecs, ten Marks, the lawyers; eight Gump tion Cutes, a dozen greatest living Un cle Toms, aud as assorted variety of QuimlMj*, Sambos and Itussian blood hounds. Occasionally an enterprising New F.ngland speculator comes along ami takes tin to of each and goes out with an ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin’ compa ny, arranged after the mastodon min strel plan—three Uncle Toma, three Simon Is-grees, three Marks, the law- vers—three strong, three . olid, count ’rin, count ’em, 1 tell you, my verdant disciple, when they put that announce ment up on a sixty-four foot streamer in a country town it makes the inhab itants tremble with excitement. Then there is a ‘Two Orphans’ department, ami ‘Lights o'London' headquarter*, and a legitimate division, and! lesque wing, and a haven for those who were with Itlce, as Sydney Rosen- fold has it. You and other stangers going across the square would not dis cover these places, but they are there.” "Where la one ol them, for in- “Welf, now, my child, but thatl am forbid to reveal the secrets of my pris on house I could a talc unfold that would harrow up the young blood, etc. I’ll tell you of one place, and that is characteristic. On the northeast cor ner of Fourteenth street and Fourth avenue there is a beer saluon, above which rooms are rented for lodgers. This place in the headquarters of the Southern eirciut. The Southern cir cuit consists, aa you may readily infer- of town* in the Southern States. Com panies ore organized every season for the punKj*e of devaatating llie recon structed Foutli. Most of these ccm- panies are fearlullv and wonderfully comisiM-d. At this place on the cor ner, which I have rnentio ed, the ao- tora and managers meet. It is a little itialto of their own. Most of the man agers of the Southern circuit have rooms in the house. The proprietor, with an eye to hm-ineis, has a little inclosura on the )iavement decked out witli plants an<l ines, and inside of it are tables. At these tables the actors and managers meet and discuss business over foaming—very foaming—lieakej? of the beverage of the Rhine. Any day you may see there men with straw ghats on the hacks of their heads, hail cigars in their mootha, glasses of beer in front of them, and little memoran dumhooka in their bands. In these they enter their engagements with ac ton and with managers. You most understand that certain local Southern managers control the show-houses in a numiter of towns on the circuit, and the manager of a combination cannot get Into one town withool playing in the others. It's a great scheme and it works beautifully.'' Tut Times reports that the news of the nomination of Cleveland waa re ceived in Savannah “with How He won Her, or How She Captu-rd Him# New York Morning Journal. It was a bright moonlight night in Albany, some thirty-five years ago, and the streets were filled with loving couples, who walked arm > in arm up and down and over the many hills in tlie city. The clock in a neighboring steeple was chiming the hour of 10, when a young lady who was walking through tho quiet and deserted streets was startled liy the clatter of horses' hoofs. Soon she saw coming up the street, at a breakneck pace, a bay horse, on which was seated a young man witli auburn hair and a beautiful, smiling mouth. His upper lip was shielded from the night air by a six months’ mustache, whieli boasted of twenty-two reddish-brown hairs. The young man handled his horse with sucli ease and grace that the young lady sighed and knew her heart had gone out to the unknown rider, lly this time the horse and rider had reached the corner where the young lady stood, and she, being ' ii mouest, retiring nature, witdrew the shadow* of a doorway. Tlie horse saw the movement, and, being a spirited animal, sided and threw its rider, who fell heavily on a file of stones, striking the left side of us face and utterly ruining the stone heap. The young lady screamed and sprang forward, supposing tlie young man was either dead or very badly hurt. Hardly had she reached his side when tie jumped up, shook him self, ami brushed the dust from his face. “Are—are you hurt verv badly?” timidly inquired the young lady. “Not at'all Miss—Miss—a—” stam mered tlie youth. .Miss Ktssam,” whispered tlie young lady, while many blushes suffused her pretty face. "Well, I'm not hurt, Miss Kissam,” said William II. Vanderbilt as lie in troduced himself, "but I’m pretty bad ly shaken up.” Miss Kissam appeared embarrassed and insisted upon young Mr. Yonder- hilt going to tier home, as lie suddenly appeared very faint, ft did not take much persuasion to induce him lo es cort her home. Here he was intro luced to Miss Kissam’s father, the Rev. Ur. Kissam. A pleasant evening was spent, and William proved such Ml excellent con versationalist that wlicn lie took his departure that evening lie was invited to call again. Ttiis lie promised to do. When lie got to the street lie found that lie had forgotten his h-art and taken Miss Kissam’s ^instead. Evi dently the young lady was satisfied w ith tlie exchange, for site ilid not ask Mr. .V. to return her palpitator. Many times did tlie young couple meet. Finally young “Vundy,” as his com panions called him, plucked up cour age and decided to ask Miss Kissam to change her name in his favor. He put off the “popping” from day today until tlie next July, when th» Sunday-school of which Mr. Vander bilt was superintendent gave a picnic. Miss Kissam was present, ami “Van- dy” popped. When this momentous event oc curred young William dropped on liis knees with such force that the earth quaked. He listened eagerly for an answer to his request, and amid the singing of birds and the rustling of leaves it came, a softly and lowly- whispered “Yes.” If reports are >true Mr. Vanderbilt’s strength greatly exceeded that iwsseaa- ‘ by Samp sun in his palmiest days, when William's paroxysm of joy had passed away there were several hundred young saplings lying around torn up liy the mots. Drawing a big penknive, the happy S man cut deep into the bark ot a j maple the words‘‘Mr. anil Mrs. Williiim II. Vanderbilt,” just to see how it would look in print. It satisfied him, and a few months later the young couple were ninrrieil by the bride’s father. With his mar riage, Mr. Vanderbilt prospered, and i-ilay is tlie riciicst man in tlie world. Never has he regretted Ids union witli pretty Misa Kissain, the “belle of Al bany.” To thil day Mr. Vanderbilt tells tho story of his first love. Anyone who can find the maple tree where Mr. V. carved his name, together witli a "Mr. and Mra. V.,” may to lids day ice tho words Even now when lie thinks of how he first met his wife he will re mark : “Funny meeting, eh?” nnd will then sigh when he thinks of how the stone heap must have suffered. Although Mr. Vanderbilt talks that way he knows lietter. XoIhkIv knows lietter than he that he is the eldest son of his father, the late Commodore Vanderbilt, of Staten Island, who left dollars enough to keep William's head above water for all time. The present head of the house, William IL, has done better than his father could have dreamed, as the cld gentle man was in the habit of hinting that his "boy Bill” had more feet than head. For all that “Bill” has so msny gov ernment bonds that a steam engine going day and night baa hard work to clip off tlie coupons in time for psy- ment. Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbilt have six children—three daughters nnd three sona. One of the latter, Comeliua, lives across tlie street in a fine granite house. Another son is William K., a chip of the old block. Tlie Inst is George Washington, who ia his father's pet. The daughters arc all married— Mrs. Twombly, Mrs. Webb and Mrs. Hheppanl. tab A large crowd gathered around, and a young lady in silk stooped over tlie wounded woman and wiped tlie blood-from her brow with a cambric handkerchief. Then tlie ambulance arae rattling up and b!io was lifted into it. She was unconscious when re ceived in tlie hospital. Five minuths later she was dead. In the reticule were some letters and photograph of tlie dead woman, tnken _l the Belle Studio, in St. Louis. In tlie photograph she wore a loosely- fitting robe, showing her handsome arms and neck. Tlie round, full face was smiling, nnd large eyes laughed tieloiv short curls that fell over the forehead. The photograph represented a beautiful woman of twenty-five years. The letters were directed, “Miss Carrie A. Johnson, Station C. New York city.” One of them was signed James It. Marshal, 108 West Fortieth street.” It began, “Deur Friend Car- . ’ expressed regret at not Bceing her nnd a desire for tier address. Mr. Murston w as found at the Mutual District Telegraph office, at 1ST Broad way, o( which ne lias charge, and was requested to go to the hospital. He there looked at tlie picture, and said that the dead woman was Mrs. Jeanne Neuville, of St. Lonis. Her husband was A. Neuville, a manufacturer's igent at 013 Washington avenue, St. St. Louis. Sirs. Neuville was an actress whom he had met three yearsago. She then was performing in Arkansas. He did not know her husband. Site had telegraphed to him on Monday a week ago, telling him to write tier at tlie post.oflie-e in this city. He did not get the telegram, for some unknown cause, until July 3, when he replied to it, Hu had recta veil no answer. Mrs. Neuville was well known in St. Louis, where she originally went on the stage. She took the part oi “Clara” in Dan Frohtnan’s Western “Hazel Kirke” company, and for a short time played in one of his Eastern compa nies. Mr. Krohnmn said lust night that sho was introduced to him by Mr. Charles Pope, of tlie St. Louis Opera House. “She was a remarkably beautiful woman,” he said, “but I think she wus just a little near-sighted. I have her name on my books now.” A year ago Mrs. Neuville was in this city for several months, and stopped at 1,41)5 Broadway. She then returned to St. Lonis. At the Uilsey House last night a gentleman who knew her well in St. Louis said that tier death would cause general grief there. The police say that tho wagon that ran over Mrs. Neuville belonged to Trow’a printing establishment,but were unable to verify it. Nothing has been heard of any runaway horse and wagon being picked up .Last night a dispatch was sent to Mr. Xeuville’s St. Louis address noti fying him of his wife’s dentil. IN THE OLD CARROLL PRISON. Mr. Harry Ford's Recollections of a Grant Tragedy. A Washington Star reporter finding cosily seated in the office at Ford’s Opera House, and Mr. Harry Ford, in a vein for reminiscence, led Mr. Ford’s mind back a score of years to the events attending tlie assassination of President Lincoln at tho 10th street theater. 'The day of the assassination,’ said Mr. Ford, “about 12 in. Booth came down 10th street to the theater, and stopped there to read a letter. I can remember very well seeing him sitting upon the steps outside. I told him then that President Lincoln and Gen. Grant would occupy one lwx, and added as a joke to tease him that Jeff Davis aud Gen. Lee would be in anoth er box. He denounced Gen. I,ee very vigorously for having surrendered tlie sword of Virginia.' Tiiat evening, af ter tlie performance began, lie came to tlie theater, anil as lie passed the box office, he looked into the window, and putting his arm through, placed a ci gar which lie bad partly smoked on a shelf inside and said in a mock heroic bombastic furioso style, this cigar (lure* displace Caraway B. Lunar, New York Journal of Comnuree. Those who knew this gentleman in timately need no vindication of his memory. He was a true man and good citizen, and while president of the Bank of tlie Republic, in this city, was foremest among those who were active in sustaining tlie credit of the govern ment before ilie outbreak of hostili ties, hut at a time when the hearls o so many failed through fear. Ten year ago a son of Mr. Lamar wrote the an nexed letter to Mr. John J Cisco, ma- nv years Assistant-Treasurer of the United States in tins city, for the pur pose of preserving a roco d of his lather’s prominent support of the pub lic credit in those dark hours. Mr. Cisco heartily indorsed the statements in the letter, hut the publication of tlie correspondence in deference to Ids wishes was withheld until ins de cease: .MX York, Octola-r 21, 1874, No.-,-Ui West Twenty-first street. Mr. J J. Cis co, Sr.: Ilk a it Min—Introducing myself as tlie only remaining son of the late Mr. Gazaway B. Lamar, I entreat your indulgence of a trespass upon your leisure, which shall lie as brief as pos sible. Within so recent a periisl as six months previous to his death I have heard my father refer to the ac tion of a meeting of New York hank presidents, held just prior to hostili ties, whieli under ids guidance rescued the credit of the Untied Slates govern ment from threatened default. Hi* statement briefly set forth that upon reaching tlie place of meeting lie first definitely learned from you that tlie government could nut meet the in’er- est payment then falling due its for eign bondholders; tliut lie theretiiion volunteered to urge tlie necessity of un adequate lnau upon tho meeting; tliut, in tlie absence of Mr. John Austin Ste vens, president of the Bank ol Com merce, who wusalisent,ill at home, lie was called to preside at the meeting us tlie senior hank president present; tliut after the transaction of routine business, lie pressed the urgency of immediate action in sustaining the government’s credit, and pledging the management of the hank of the Re- Then he parsed into tlie theater.” “Did he ever return lor tlie cigar? asked the Star reporter. “No. Those were the last words I ever heard him speak. lie must have said them to mislead us, for his plans, it seems, were already laid and it was part of the plan, as I heard afterward: that Payne was to assa-sinate Howard, Atzerott should kill Johnson at the Kirkwood house, and Booth shoot tin: President simultaneously. So lie knew just that lie was going to do, and how much time he had.” “Later in tlie evening,” continued Mr. Ford, “we heard a pistol shot in the theater. Joe Si-Nifnrd and 1 wen- in the treasurer’s office. We thought at first that it Was tlie pistol fired by Asa Trend.ard in the |ilay—Laura Rbcne was playing “Our Amer ican Cousin’ —" out then it struck as n lit’ L* early in lie evening. We opened a little win- low that lo >ked int • lie- theater and saw Booth crouching outlie stage, witli a knife in his hand. Even then we cotild nut tell what had happened, and no nno s- enied tojtnmv. We thought at first that some one had insulted Booth ami he had pursued tlie man across the stage. A few minutes which seemed an hour passed before the whole terrible truth was known.” “You were among those who were arrested were you not?” asked the Star reporter. ”1 was arrested, I think, on the Sun day following the assassination, ai.-d taken down lo the old Carroll prison, fronting upon tlie Capitol grounds. I was treasurer ol tlie theater, ami my brother, James R. Ford,hctterkqownus ’Dick’ Ford, was manager. Mvbrother, John Ford, who owned the theater, was nrr> sted ut his homo in Baltimore after Ids return front Richmond. He had run down thereto see our uncle, moth- ,t Family brother, .Mr. Win. Grcaner. Nearly everybody aliout the theater put under arrest—the carpenter, the n.-sistnnt carpenter, the properly man, and others. Nearly every one •round here professionally related to Booth was arrested, and the Virginia and Maryland farmers along the river, who were supposed to liuve assisted Booth in his escape in unv way, hy har boring him, giving him food," or shel ter, or boats were arrested, sud they were all sent lo the prison where 1 was. Ho we had plenty of company.” “Did 1 enjoy it? Well, 1 would not have uiis-cif the experience for u great deal. It was a rare mixture—desert ers, bounty-jumpers and men of every station, still, it was rather rough tlu- first week. We wen* k* o: ii. ciuso and sclilury confinement. I' ich limn hail a room by himself *e:>d was not allow ed to leave it or to see anyone. I rfe member that when my brother was brought in I suwLliim in the yard. Tlie guards would not let me go to him or speak to him. After John T. was ar rested Ids family came over from Bal timore. His wife applied to Secretary Stanton for a pass to go to tlie prison and see him, lint Htunlou refused There wo were left alone in our dun genus in dreadful uncertainty. 1 re- inemlier the day of the funeral cere monies at the capital. I could see nothing, hut could hear the solemn Is Miming of guns, the dismal la-ating of niutlled drums, playing dead march es. and tlie steady trump of lect. That wok not verv cheering music (or our ears. We did not know hut the peo ple in their excitement would moli tin- prison and lynch us, for some of the men arrested hail been stencil in the street. Our fare was coarse pr» n Mrs. Surratt occupied a room in the second storv of the hack wing, or ‘L’ of tho building, and her window look ed dawn into the yard. Tlie back yards of the houses, now forming Car- roll row, all formed one large prison yard then. Junius Brutus Booth, brother of J. Wilkes and John S. Clark, the comedian, who married Booth’s sister, were also arrested. Clark made a good deal of fun, you think? No; lie was the most serious man there. The guards took a penknife away from Juniui Booth, or ‘June,’ as every one called him, la-cause some one thought he would commit suicide. He said that he had a gun, he would put the whole guard to flight. The men who were accused directly of complicity in any way with Booth were imprisoned at the arsenal, where they had padded cells, go they could not butt, their brains out. If they had found anything to implicate us, they would have sent us down to the arsenal. When I was first taken to the prison, I was examined by tlie authorities there. Two or three days liefore the assassination Booth gave me his picture. It was a tin type, such ns you can get now for twenty-live cents a dozen. It was small, about large enough for a locket, hut very fine. He happened into the the ater, and was showing the picture, aud took a notion to give it to me. It was in tr.y pocket-book when I was arrest ed, ami taken from me, together with a small pistol, when I was searched at the prison. Nothing was said alsiut it, however. When I was released and took the oath of allegiance, ail of my things were returned to me except tho pistol and picture. These were kept hy tlie tnan wlm searched me, as his pcrqnisities. I did not think it would he wiso to make any stir about them— especially about tlie picture—so I said nothing, and have never to this duv seen either the pistol or tho picture.” “Why did they arrest me? Well,as I said, nearly everybody was arrested ihatconld possibly have hail.anything to do gill' Booth. All the theatre people and some of Booth's friends and relatives were taken. 1 had fixed up and decorated the President's box, and a knife, whieli had been used in cutting the strings of tlie lings, was left by accident <>n tlie sill. It was thought that perhaps it had been left there purposely, to he used hy Booth. Then, 1 hud placed a rocking clniir in the box for the President, and, of course, it was at once surmised that the chair writs placed tlv. ro so that when the President rocked hack Booth would have him at a disadvantage. Why, scores of mon around town were arrest ed and whisked away to prison.

We were held as witnesses, and I, with others, was taken from prison to testify in the Spangler case. We went down to eourt in nn old army ambulance. Boon after wards I was released, having liooti in prison alsiut two months altogether, 1 was lot out twice before, once uImiiii a week after 1 was arrested, and then rearrested. I went with a friend the elder Booth’s f..rm, near Baltimore, looking for Wilkes, and was rearrested hy u detective nt Balti more when returning. I was told tliut Col. Baker, who was chief of the secret service, asked: “Whore" is Harry Ford?” Nobody knew, so Baker said tie would him put where he could lie found when wanted.
