Richard 1’znfleld. eelf-etyled "the klnn of Rambler,," told on the witness stand tht, afternoon how Reg inald Vanderbilt gambled and lost hun dreds of thousands cf dollars In vari ous desperate conlllcts with the "tiger" In which he engaged In Canfield’, pal- ii . s ,.f chance notably at Newport. With unnecessary consideration. In asmuch ns every knew of whom lie wns talking, Canfield drew a thin veil of anonymity nhnut the lively young scion of the Vanderbilts, by refraining from mentioning him by name. But he made nn hones nbout acknowledging that Vanderbilt owed him IJOO.000 and that he settled the claim for $130,000. "Three-fourths of the 1300.000 which was owed to me." said fnnflelil, "was lost by this gentleman In my house at Newport. There wns a great deni of borrowed money represented by tht, •urn.” Canfield detailed how Vanderbilt, when he had dropped a huge amount at the table, or needed n little extra pocket money, would draw freely upon the Canfleld exchequer and give hi, note, for the amounts. "Them.note, had never been seen by me," said Canfield. "They had been given to Mr. Hucklln. I thought that Mr. Lelahunty', charge of $10,000 for collecting the $130,(mu tlint I got out of the $$00,000 wa, excessive. "Oh, no, I didn't have nny dispute with him about It, I don't swap horses crossing a stream. He had helped him self, and (here was no good discussing It any further.” Jeronte, the district attorney, figured prominently and surprisingly In Can- field's narrative. He said he knew the date and the hour thnt Jerome and his raiders were coming to make their spectacular raid on- Canfield', place next to Dehnonlco's, that Jerome ad vised him-to plead guilty to being a common gambler, saying that he would see that he got off with a light fine, and that'this court, would put down the "drunken kid” story.

The disease was aggravated by a disorder of the stomach. Several at tacks followed the one In January, nnd several times his life had been despaired. A week ago Saturday he was taken seriously HI, but rallied from the attack. The following days he showed Improvement, and yester day plans were made to take him to his country homo the early part, of this week. ■ , End Comes Quiokly. I o'clock this morning he was given nourishment, and seemed to be In good spirts. Just an hour later he waa stricken. Dr. Brown waa Irame dlately summoned, but medical a, slatance was of no avail, and In seven minutes Mr. Gorman had passed away There were present at his bedside when he expired, the senator’s wife, Mrs. Ada Gorman, his eldest daugh ter, and a trained ntiree. Messages were Immediately dispatched fir the other children. < . • . Immediately after the death, the senator's married daughters arrived at the house. They are Mrs. Wilton J. Lambert and Mrs. B. A.

Among his notable victories waa bis successful fight against ths so-called "Force bill," In lies. Although prominently mentioned as a candidate for the presidency by the Democrats, he was never able to com mand a sufficient number of delegates to gain recognition in the convention. BEGAN HIS POLITICAL CAREER AS A PAGE IN THE HOU8E. Arthur Pue Gorman was without question one of the cleverest snd most successful of American politicians. When he was only 21 he had hfs first view of the senate chamber as a page of that house, and from that day to the present he was never out of the public eye or without a large and In fluential following In the polities of his native state. Mr. Gorman wns born In Howard the eur-I county, Mao land. March II, ISSI. He came of Irl*h Pre-byterian Mock. Whta n boy ho enjoyed only such educational ndvnntugeH ns the puhltc schools of his locality could supply. In 1882 ho appointed a page In the somite. The youth attracted the attention of Ste phen A. Douglas, of Illinois, -who eventually made him his secretary and confidential friend. At the outbreak of tic ■ ir lie suppniiid the forcible sup pression of secession. Electsd Senator In 1880. He remained In the service of the senate, advancing step by step, until he occupied the position of postmaster. After hla dismissal from the senate for following the lead of President John son, he was appointed n collector of Internnl revenue, which ofilce he held until the Incoming of tho Grant ad ministration. Mr. Gorman waa first He. md to the senats In 1880, and was re-elected In 1886 and 189$. Previous to his first election he had held numerous political office. In Maryland, among them that of state senator, In which capacity he served several terms. In 1902 Mr. Gor man was again elected to the senate to succeed George L. Wellington, Repub lican. Ills term would have expired March 8, 1909. Managed Cleveland Campaign. Gorman In 1114 was a Cleveland man and managed Cleveland's campaign. But soon after Preeldent Cleveland took office there waa a falling out between the two and aver after that Mr. Gor man was Cleveland's polities) foe. At the memorable Bt. Louis convention It waa Gorman who steered the platform clear of silver. In 1992 nnd at em n of the subsequent Democratic national conventions Gorman figured as a pos sible presidential candidate, but each time he missed his goal and sometimes, as It seemed, by a very narrow margin. * Senator Gorman was ever a better politician than statesman. He was not an orator In any sense of the word, but few had a keener knowledge of the cogs of political machinery than he, and none was better able to manage a campaign. By his political opponents he was denominated a spoilsman of spoilsmen, as Senator Hanna was. Mr. Gorman was married In 1888 to Mrs. Hattie D. Schwarts. Outside of polities he devoted himself to his fam ily. hi* wife, thres daughters and n son, who resembles Ills father and has followed hla path In politics Into the Maryland legislature. In 18T$ Mr. Gor man became president of the Chesa peake and Ohio Canal Company, which connection laid tbs foundation of hi, wealth. Central Property Bring* Big Price and Demonstrates Steady and Healthy Valne Increase. What I* probably the largest real es tate deni ever made In Atlanta was that of Monday morning when George nnd Forrest Adair purchased from the trustees of Kir.nry College the building on Whitehnll street formerly occupied by the Uses Dry Goods Company, pay ing for the same $126,000 In cash, and nlao the property on Peachtree street, between the Grand opera house nnd the Aragon hotel, known as the old Ranks place nnd occupied by the audi torium nnd a brick structure, from Asa O. Candler for $120,000, malting n com bined rash transaction of $246,000.

Alderman Key declared that he had no objectlona. Councilman Mar tin. In seconding Councilman Tarrell'e ordinance, declared that the matter waa the moat Important elnca he had been In council, nnd that he alao wished pint time to consider the matter. The motion was carried. One of the first matters taken up was a communication from Commis sioner of Public Works Collier, which nuked thnt careful consideration be given to the matter of repaving Peach tree street from Sixth to Flits, and that lasting pavement be put In.

Their unbound- Ing faith In the future of the city I* evinced by their desire to aecuro con trol of some of tho most desirable property. In an Interview Monday morning. Forrest Adair said: “We Intend to tear down the old residence now on the Peachtreo street property, nnd erect at once four modern storeroom*, a* tho demand for space on Peachtree street is very great. Indeed, 1 am perfectly confident tha^ within the next five years Peachtreo street ns far out n* Baker will be solidly built up with business house*. Already a beginning hns been made, nnd within the next few month* the Mn*ons will erect their now temple on tho comer of Cain street, Mr. Wlinblsh will start work on the new theater ho Intends to put up on the old Law'sho lot, and.

"Peachtree hns always been the main thoroughfare of Atlanta, and I believe always will be, and property on thnt street lias always brought a higher prlco than In any other section of tho city. Every' city of any size In Jhls country has some one street on which the property values nre seemingly out of all proportion to the rest of tho town, nnd Atlantn Is no exception. Take Peachtree from the viaduct to Rrook- wood nnd beyond, nnd compnro It with nny other street In Atlanta, nnd you will find thnt property on the former Is worth almost doublo per front foot. “I have absolute faith In tho stabil ity of Atlantn, nnd In her future, nnd this faith Is fully Justified, I believe. All the conditions thnt go toward mak ing n great nnd important city are to csntsr of tho street before the new paving I* laid.

The communication from Mayor Woodward, which appears In another column, was referred to committee, as were the ordinances which are alto printed In this Issue of The Georgian.
