THE POST. WEDNESDAY, A'I'ttll* «, 1881. R. L. HICKS, EDITOR AKl> PlfOPItl KTOll. X SturtIII1K Episode. 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.

The life of this rcullv good nmn has been devoted to acts of be- till V •/««»•«• «... A |. KM . >»l> WWH IIS 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 Mr. Senev learned tho scioneo of not inferior to Conk ling’s, and if tho | finance, conduct of tho light with; the Now !
