St. Louts, March 2fl. - Passengers
coming iit on. the St. Lmtis and San
Prancisoa road tins morning, tell of?
n startling affair that occurred on
the train. Among those who got
ahoard at Springfield was u broad-
shouldered, heavy-act gentleman,
probably six. feet tall, and wearing
full whiskers. lie seemed to be of a
social disposition*, and in a very short
time he had made the acquaintance
of a parly of two or three other gen
tleman of similar inclinations. Af
ter boiiio nonvoriution it was learned
that the Springfiold gentleman was
on his way to Indianapolis, near
mitten pmcc ms m»iw> *../ i r ;., CT
lie had been telegraphed for, and
bad some ‘cars that the old gentle
man would be dead before he could
reach his bedside.
As it juew late the occupants of
f.lie Tl?d off to asloop one by
one, and by i o'clock even the con-
rmniiy ioolijiod wore wrapped in
•lumbur. About 3 o'clock tlie three
companions ot tho Springfiold gentle
man were rttdoly shaken liy the arms
and aroused from n sound sleep.
They had a glimpse of their Spring-
Held friond rushing wildly through
the train crying: “More ! here !’* in
uquiok, agitated tone of voice. The
evident. Buffering of the gentleman
caused them to awake. They saw
him throw wide open the door, and
by the dim light ut the end of the
our they noticed him <pltinge head
foremost from the platform. The
train was going at flic usual rate of
speed, and in it short time had left
the. unfortunate mutt far bohind.
Thisnccidimt occurred at Bourbon
The gentleman who witnessed the
affair wore so horrnmriekou by the
ncctmcuso that they neglected to
hunt up tdo conductor ami mention
I he affair to hitn. Tho consequence
was that A, W. Carry, tho conduc
tor, never ieaniil of tho affair until
I hoy hud reached Sullivan,a distance
of about six' miles from tho «««»»«
It was impossible for the train to
return, so tho conductor drummed
up a party of section hands and
started them hack. Nothing has
been bound from them. Tho general
supposition is that tho man was
iiriiecp when he rusho'l upon the
platform, He left behind hitn a
valise and a felt. hut.
The Gentleman from Maine.
Si. tottiii Republican,
It is pretty clear that Secretary
Blaine intends to nluko things lively
At Washington under tho now ad
ministration. Ho has made i\ be
ginning and it is one that illustrates
the vigor umi aggressiveness of 1m
olmraoter. When the gentleman
from Maine was made Secretary of
State it was Imagined that ho was
shelved—that tho strict and Rolomn
punctilios of that august olfioo would
blunt liiii facilities and transform him
Into a dull and stately personage.
But. it mans that Mr. Blaine was not
made Secretary of State for tho more
honor of the thing; the appointment
involves power also. Ho is the
intimate friend of tho President; he
wields the President’s authority and
possesses his confidence. Ho is
grand viafor. IIo is credited with
the appointment of Senator Conk-
Jing’s enemy, Robertson, to the Now
York colloctorship. Tho sagacious
(Secretary knows that there will have
to be a break with the despotic and
implacable New York Senator, and.
apparently ho has advised tho Presi
dent to procipitato it at once. Mr.
Blaine is not tho lume and serene
jierson that Mr. Evarts was. Ho 1ms I

More than this, he also gives fifty

Tho above telegram received yes

news not only to the members and
supporters of the Methodist institu
tions, but to ull Gcorgiuus who must
certainly be pleased to sec that the

to the accumulation of a fortune,
which now reaches several million
dollars. Mr. Seney ifl a son of a
Methodist minister, and began lifo
in comparatively modest circumstan
ces. He graduated at Columbia
college, and tho management of his
business affairs has been such that
ho has grown to be quite wealthy.
Ho has always been u man of pliila-
thropic inclinations, and 1ms given
to olmritable institution, school und
similar institutions not less than a
million dollars. The manner in
which ho made his first donation to
Emory college wub characteristic of
tho nmn. Dr. llaygood, president
of tho collcgo, was if) New York on
private business, and in conversation
with Dr. Hunt, of the publishing
house of Phillip & Hunt, was in
formed that. Mr. Seney desired to
seo him. Without any idea’what
ever of what Seney wanted Dr. Huy-
good called at thu Metropolitan
national bank of which institution
Mr. Seney is presided and after not
more than a moment's conversation,
Mr. Seney said: “I want, to help
your college some. I want to give
you $10,000 for a library fund!'’ As
soon an Ur. llaygood recovered from
his astonishment he thanked Mr.
Soncy for his generous offer, but
told tlllll llie inuiit^ -.A.,1,1,«li.,.in,,|.|i
good if applied to the endowment
fund. That was agreed to by Mr.
Seuey, and when Dr. Hnygood ar
rived at. home ho found awaiting
him the ten thousand dollars in
bonds—from a man he lmd nover
soon hutonoo. Close upon tho bools
of it came an additional 930,000 for
the improvement of tho collcgo
buildings, ahd now the gift goes up
to u total of 50,000. M!. Sepoy gets
upon the idea that, wlmt property a
nmn intonds giving to philuiithro-
piciil purposes should he given while
ho lives and prnbfe tu place it accor
ding to his own judgment of what is
tho right di.cction.
Mr. Seney was born in 1825, and
1ms spent thirty years in the Motrop
olitun national bank, New York, of
which ho is now president. He is
of portly build, and has a rather
dark, ruddy complexion, piercing
dark oves, and a prompt decisive
business manner. His grand mother
was a daughter of James*Nicholson,
tho first commodore of the United
States navy, Ono daughter of the
commodore was tho wife of Colonel
William Few, United Stntos senator
for Goorgiu in tho first congress.
Another daughter was tho wife of
Judgo Montgomery, who was a mem
ber of tho first congress front Mary
land. Another daughter was tho
wife uf Albert Gallatin, the cmin&nt
revolutionary statesman and- finan
cier, who was secretary of tho treas
ury under Jofferso.i and Madison,
and was founder of the Gallatin
national bank. 1t was partly through
his relationship to the Gullutins that
