SPECIAL TELEGEAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Rochester, Pa., July 19. The state
ment published in this morning's Dis
rATCH that Senator Quay was likely to re
sign irom the Chairmanship of the National
.Republican Executixe Committee created a
great deal cf interest in this vicinity, where
the Senator is so veil known personally.
In order to get something authentic from
the gentleman himself, your correspondent
drove out to his handsome residence to
night, it being known Mr. Quay was at
home, intending to remain for several days,
if not longer.
The Senator willingly conceded an ad
mittance, but an interview from him seemed
quite another matter. He was found in his
library, his fuvorlte resort when at home,
but the piles of letters and papers about the
library desk showed tliat he passed anything
but a restful Sunday.
"Mr. Quay," queried the interviewer,
"have you read the morning papers?"
The Senator nodded a pleasant assent.
"Did you read the article from Phila
delphia stilting that you intended resigning
from the Chairmanship of the National
Committee?"
The Senator smiled.
"What have you to say in regard to the
statement?" flatly asked tho reporter.
Probable, but Not Certain.
"Well, I have this," answered the Sen
ator pleasantly. "It is probable, but not
certain, that I will resign the chairmanship
cf the Executive Committee on the 29th."
Tfii'. was all theSenatorJiad to My, and he
would hazard no opinion as to whether Gen
eral Clarksou would be his successor or not,
nor xi ould he say for what purpose the meet
ing of tho Executive Committee had been
called in Philadelphia on the 29th.
A dispatch from Baltimore B3ys: Senator
Gorman's determination not to take charge
of the National Democratic campaign was
arrived at after mature deliberation and
after a consulation with other party leaders
in this State. An Alliance craze has taken
possession of some ol the lower counties and
it will require the master hand of the Mary
land Senator to prevent the Democratic
thip of Etate from colliding with the rudder
less craft set afloat by Jerry Simpson's
disciples.
t&The present condition of affairs is due to
the work of aspirants for office, who, with a
view of booming their candidacy, have in
fluenced the granger element. Now that
they find the moxementhas gotten "beyond
their control they call on the leader who
has so often helped them out of trouble to
come again to the rescue.
The Mugwumps Also Appeal.
The appeal comes not only from the regu
lar Democracy, but from the Bo-called Inde
pendents or Mugwumps, who realize the
danger of a Fanners' Alliance gov
ernment, and who, for once, will
work hand in hand with the men they
liaxc fought, and under the leadership of
the man they have villifiod and abused.
They appreciate the fact that in conducting
the campaign Senator Gorman is not help
ing himself in the least; on the contrary, he
may incur the enmity of people who have
hitherto been among his stanchest friends,
for all Democrats, regardless of affiliations,
La e openly declared that no matter what
should be the result, Mr. Gorman is to suc
ceedjhimsell as United States Senator.
So fur as Senator Gorman is concerned,
therefore, he is safe enough, but the trouble
is feared in tho selection of the late Senator
"Wilson's successor. The latter must come
from the Eatern Shore, and in this section
the Farmers' Alliance movement is strong
est. Should, thtrelore, the Grangers suc
ceed iu carrying a majority of the Eastern
Shore counties, and ex en conceding that all
of these shall be Democrats, the name they
may present might not be acceptable to
the city and "Western Shore men, who are
opposed to Alliance principles, and then
there would be trouble.
Southern Democrats Are Not Particularly
Anxious for Him The Senator Explains
How This Country Can Wrett-Flnancial
Supremacy of the "World From England.
"Washington, July 19. Senator Mor
gan has just reached Washington from his
home in Alabama, and talks freely about
political topics and the impressions he has
gathered during his stay in the South,
where he has been ever since the adjourn
ment of Congress. He doesn't believo
Cleveland will be nominated. "There is,"
he says, "an earnest and patriotic
feeling among tho people of
the South in regard to tho
Presidental campaign next year. They
feel grateful to Mr. Cleveland for having
giveu them a chance for the wonderful pros
perity that they are now developing. They
have perfect confidence in his integrity and
in his fidelity l3 Democratic principles and
policies, and they are proud of his adminis
tration. "Secretary Foster," he said, "was very
fortunate in having had the advantage of "a
Democratic idea injected into the silver bill
bv Senator Beck, by which ha had been en
abled to increase tne amount of availablo
money in the Treasury to the fall extent of
all the available money that may be lonnd
there. Senator Sherman seems to be grate
ful to everybody but himself for having
found a plan to extricate the Republicans
from their dilemma, and is disposed now to
express hisappreciation of the very coin cer
tificate against which he labored so earnestly
and for so long a time.
"This coin certificate wilLne'ver be dis
pensed with in our financial system here
after. I do not see, when we produce
5100,000,000 a year of precious metals, one
third of which is gold, why we cannot ac
cumulate coin in the Treasury almost to any
extent that we desire, and issue coin cer
tificates representing dollar for dollar into
the hands of the people. In ten vears that
sum would amount to $1,000,000,000.
"Very few of the certificates would ever
be presented for redemption in metal if the
people knew the metal was in the Treasury,
and just think what a great power tne
United States would be with $1,000,000,000
in reserve. This country would become the
clearing house for the world and wrest from
England the financial leadership which she
has held for centuries."

but not so long as it is stated. In four
weeks he has wired the-company, four times,

New York a telegram announcing that he

faulter for a cent, and the suggestion about
there being a woman in it is altogether-sensational.
But of this feature of the story I

dishonest. He is the third largest owner
in his own right of the stooks of the com

St. Louis, July 19. A bit of political
gossip that is of especial interest just now
is to the effect that Governor D. R. Francis
has authorized the statement that at the ex
piration of his Gubernatorial term he will
retire from politics and again take up his

STOLE A CASE OF DIAMONDS.

Next York, July 19. Robert Howe, a
young bookmaker's clerk, has been arrested
on a charge of stealing a 510,000 case of dia
monds from the jewelry establishment of
Carl "Wernicke. The robbery occurred on
February 6 last, and the police have been
working on the case constantly. On that
date Howe, or a man who x ery closely re
sembles him, called at the jewelrv store
with a hadsomely dressed woman, who said
she wanted to purchase some diamonds. The
couple had visited the store twice before
and had made a few purchases, so that every
ulicumuu was jihiu 10 mem. wnue tne
xvoman was examining some things the man
xralked about the store and finally went out
for a cigar.
He returned in five minutes and the
woman, who had decided to make no pur
chase, went out with him. The tray of dia
monds xvas immediately missed and it was
remembered that the man's overcoat
bulged at the breast when we went out for
his cigar. The couple had said their names
were Deford, but this was found to be false,
and detectives traced them to the Hotel
Metropole, where he had been living with
two women under the name of Howell.
Before they could make an nrrest the
parties cleared out and it was not until
Friday night that thev came urjon Howe
in Broadway. He answered the description
of the thief and they took him in. He was
remanded to the "custody of Inspector
Byrnes and now detectives are looking for
the women in the case.

Accordingly, this afternoon at 3 a proces

express train leaves Bayreuth for Nurem

The question Is constantly asked xvhy
Wagner-chose a small country town xvith
-such insufficient accommodations for his
festivals, instead of a capital like Munich
or Berlin. The superb location partly
answers this question, but "Wagner had
other reasons. In a large city there are

Baden offered Wagner a charming free site

Beauty of Bayreuth Productions, y
No lover of "Wagner's music has over re
gretted a trip to Bayreuth. Not only is
this the only place xihere "Parsifal" can be
heard, but in other operas the same singers
and players and scenery elsewhero would
not produce the same effect as here, owing
partly to the invisible orchestra, xvhich
mars no illusion and never drowns the
voices of the singers; partly to the small
auditorium, in which the facile expression
of the singers is not annihilated by dis
tance, and partly to the novel proscenium
arrangements, xvhich give to the scenery a
truly spectroscopic vividness.
This distinctness is partly owing to the

It is to avert just such a condition of af

upon. His task is not an easy one, but so
implicit is the confidence reposed in him
that no fears are entertained as to the re
sult. The State convention will be held on
July CO, xrhen candidates for Governor,
Comptroller, Attonicv General and Clerk
of the Court of Appeals are to be selected.
The Secretary of State, State Treasurer,
Police Commissioners and other officers will

According to his promise Senator Gorman
has kept his hands off, his influence not hav
ing been exerted in behalf of any candidate.
Frank Brown, late postmaster of Baltimore,
appears to hate made the strongest fight for
Governor, his candidacy being indorsed by
nearly every county in the -State. The
city, it is well known, prelerred ex
Mayor James Hodges, but the counties
have a majority, and so Mr. Brown xvill be
the Democratic standard bearer. Spencer

Chicago, July 19. The monotony of
hotel life will probably be pleasantly in

by the marriage of Dr. L. B. Eherman and
Miss Adelia Crofton, both prominent resi
dents of St. Louis. "The marriage hinges
altogether on the result of my conference
with Dr. Joseph BeiUy," said Dr. L. P.
Eherman at the hotel to-night. "Dr. Beilly
is an old college chum of mine. "We have
been interested in many transactions. If
the matter does not go through there will
be no marriage." As yet the St. Louis
physician has been unsuccessful in his ef

Dr. Eherman arrived here on July 15,
and, faUing ill, telegraphed for Miss Crof
ton, who left home hurriedly, not even
waiting to take her baggage. This hasty
departure gave rise to rumors of an elope

gossippers were at fault, as Dr. Eherman
and Miss Crofton have been engaged for
over a year. Miss Adelia Crofton resides
with her mother in St. Louis and is quite a

Philadelphia, July 19. Despondent
over the incurable deformity of her 4-months'-old
baby boy, Mrs. Maggie Kramer
threw herself and the little one into the
Delaware river Saturday night and both
xvere drowned.. The bodies were found
early this morning off Poplar street wharf
by txvo policemen. An examination of the
bodies snowed that Mrs. Kramer had used
several yards of twine and a number of
safety pins infastening the baby's body to
her own, making it a prisoner beyond the
possibility of escape. At the " morgue,
Charles Kramer.living at 1339 Crease street,
a driver, identified the bodies as those of
his xvife and baby. His wife disappeared
last night and he had been searching for her.
The baby, he said, bore a very striking re

His wife was always worrying over its de

The Priest "Who Christened His Triplets
Says He Deserves a Pension.
tSrECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISP-ATCn.1
Philadelphia, July 19. The triplets
of the Third xvard xvere christened at St.
Paul's lloman- Catholic Church after
vespers this afternoon, and they were the
center of attraction for a big assemblage of
delighted women and astonished men, while
good Father "Walter Gough, who performed
the ceremony, told the nappy parent that
he ought to have a pension. Papa Cava
nagh blushed and smiled at the compliment
from the priest, and Godfather James Brodie
seconded it with a slap- on papa Cavanagh's
back. The triplets came to town on the
3d of the present month. They weigh 20
I pounds among them and each one of them
they are all girls is sound aud healthy.
surprise and xvas really due to the fact that
tne llgnting arrangements nau not yet been
perfected for lack of time. A want of
means also caused sceuio shortcomings in
"Kheingold,"but in "Parsifal" everything
is perfect. Here .there are no flimsy make
shifts, but the sky above, and even the
grassy meadow on which the aotors walk
are painted with a realism that results in
complete illusion; and the transformation
scene; where Parsifal and 6irnananz appar
ently walk through the changing scenery, is
a marvel of stage mechanism.
An Inspiration for Artists.
The processions and the gradual glowing
of the Holy Cup, ns the King holds it in his
hands, are like canvases of the old religious
masters, that, like Galetea, have come to
life. To wonder that Wagner's stage scenes
have inspired eminent German artists to
point to some of their best pictures, as
Wsgnp r'sface inspired Hubcrt-JIerkomt
TofJafnt one' of his bes'. portraits.
As regards the music of "Parsifal," I
have come to the conclusion, hearing it
seven times at three festivals, that it is not
only the most marvelously constructed
score in existence, but that in it Wagner's
ideal union of music, poetry, action and
scenic or pictorial effect comes nearer per
fect realization than even in "Siegfried."
Never was his imagination more creative
than xvhen he penned "Parsifal"' at the at?o
of 67; and the song of the flower maidens is
still as fresh and spontaneous as that of tha
sirens in "Tannhauser," and of"the Ehine
maidens in the "Trilogy."
Unity of Music nnd Action.
How marvelously the action heightens
the power of the music, too, is strikingly
shown in the soene where the wizard,
Klxngsor, hurls his spear at Parsifal. As
it flies through the air the orchestra is
hushed, except the harps, which play a
rapid glissondo up through three octaves.
In the concert hall this would seem an ord
inary trick of virtuosity, while here every
one is thrilled by the appropriateness of the
musical accompaniment to the flyiDg spear.
In one respect this year's performance is
better than ever. The chimes from the in
visible Grailsburg have hitherto been disap
pointing; they were too high and not in
tune. Now they have a fine effect; they are
solemn nnd deep, and carry out in full the
intentions of the 'composer. The tones are
produced by a union of tamtams, piano
strings and metal bars. In the second act
there were fears about the flower girls.
There were 30 of them, and 15, xvho had
been selected for their exceeding beauty of
face and form, had never been on the stage
before. It will relieve all anxiety at once
to-say that they were successful.
Van Dyck's Superb FarslfaL
Indeed, it would have been strange if1
they had not been inspired by such a hand
some, fascinating Parsifal as Van Dyck. He
xvas appropriately youtniui in appearance,
and his face was a mirror of refined emo
tion. He was in splendid voice; his action
was eloquent, and, although a Belgian, he
enunciated the German xvith marvelous
distinctness. Every tone and gesture proved
him a born opera singer. He could not help
going on the stage, although it was against
the xvishes of wealthy parents.
The cast was uniformly excellent.
Scheidemantel, the baritone, as Gurnemanz,
was quite equal to Iteichmann, and Liepe
and Grengg were good in their respective
parts. It was difficult to prevent applause,
which still is rigorously prohibited at Bay
reuth. So the performance was heard in a
silence which made some of the musical
passages overpowering in their intensity.
Half of, at least, the German portion of the
audience were in tears, mercifully concealed
by the mystio gloom iu which the audito
rium is kept, and this subdued darkness im
measurably heightened the scenic effects,
which were thrilling in their realistic
beauty.
Listened to With Devotion.
It is needless to say that the long xvork
xvas listened to by all with something akin
to devotion. To those who have only heard
the performance of fragments in a concert
room it was a revelation. The strained atti
tude of attention was most agreeably re
lieved by the intermissions of an hour be
tween each act, when the excited audience
poured out of the theater into the adjoining
gardens and gave expression to their pent
up emotions, while restoring nature with
copiuous drafts of tho best beer in Ger
many. It w as on these pleasant occasions
that I could see among the well known
Americans present, the Hon. Carl Schurz,
Alexander Mackenzie, Walter Damrosch,
Conductor Nikisch, Otto Florsheim, of the

Lavicerie's Position.
Paris, July 19. Comte De Hanssenvilie,
a representative of the Comte De Paris,
speaking at Toulousea, attacked Cardinal
Laxrigerie's movements in support of the

of forming a Catholic Republican party
were victims of an illusion.
Tolerant Republicans existed, but the
Government could not get rid of the -past.
The watchword of the French Republic
was now, as it always had been, "War

lay down a line ofconduct for the clergy;
but the policy of Cardinal Laxrigerie xvas
not the best xvay-of defending the interests,

Chattanooga, Tenn., July 19. At a
largely attended meeting of working peo
ple with the Federation of Trades to-day, it
xvas unanimously resolved that the present
trouble existing at Briceville is but the nat
ural outcome of the long and persistent
violation of law on the part of the mine
owners in refusing to permit the miners to
elect a check weigher, and also of the un
American attempt to compel employes to
sign an agreement not to affiliate with any
labor organization.
The Governor was censured for taking an
armed force to assist in the work of intimi
dation and opposing the miners, and the
militia was condemned, the opinion being
expressed that all laboring men, union or
non-union, in their ranks return home, as
they are acting contrary to every dictate
and impulse that should exist in the hearts
of fair and honest working citizens. The
meeting furtherpassed resolutions indorsing
the miners, and condemning the authorities
and mine owners. H. H. Schwartz, the
Chairman of the Executive Committee, was
sent to Briceville to present the resolutions
and state the feeling existing here. A

STREET CAB STRIKE SETTLED.
TSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TUB DISPATCH.l
Hanover, N. H., July 19. This has
'been a strange Sunday for this quiet .New
Hampshire town. The talk has been of
bloodshed andjyncning, and a large portion
of the able-bodied men are scouring tho
woods, guns and revolvers in hand, looking
for murderer Almv. At th Warden farm
house the disfigured body of the beautiful'
vurisue waraen is laid out lor burial.
The unwonted excitement caused by the
assassination of Miss Warden late on Fri
day night shows no signs of abating, nor
will it die out until the murderer is cap
tured. The investigation which has been
made shows that the crime was carefully
planned. The ambush and the avenue of
escape xvere selected long before the fatal
I shots were, fired. The little party of women
were wenmng tneir way nomeward. 'J.ney
had just left the town and had stepped
from the open road into a dark ravine cov
ered by trees. The change from bright
moonlight to intense darkness blinded the
women for a minute, and it was while they
were thus groping their xvay along that a
man glided stealthily into the roadxvay and
uiuckcu taeir passage, rseiore tney naa re
covered from their sudden fright the man
spoke and they recognized the voice.
Ordered Her Relatives to Move On.
His salutation was this: "Mrs. Warden,
,you and Fanny may move on with safety.
I shall not harm you unless you interfere
with me, and if you do I wiU shoot you like
dogs."
Then turning to the sisters behind, the
younger of whom he apparently did not
recognize, he exclaimed: "Christie, I have
come 1,000 miles to meet you, and now your
time is short." Then he drew from his
breast a revolver, xvhich he cocked. The
four women stood petrified, and the stillness
was oroKen only ny Almy saying in a cold,
harsh voice: "Mrs. Warden, you knoxv me,
I believe. I am Frank Almy, and you never
knew me to break my word. Move on, or
I will shoot; move on, I say!"
Mrs. AVarden was dragged away by Miss
Goodellj who had accompanied them, leav
ing Christie and Fanny with Almy. Christie,
up to this time, had been so overpoxvered
with fear that she was hardly able to move.
She clung tenaciously to her sister, a bright
young girl of 17. Almy, hoxvever, lost no
time m carrying out his design. He seized
Christie by the left shoulder, and, locking
his left arm around her neck, he placed the
muzzle of his weapon against the breast of
her sister and said: "I have hated you.
Fan, and unless you let go of Christie I will
blow you into eternity."
Fanny Told Him to Shoot Her.
The girl knew he meant all he said, but
ininiving oniy oi ner sister sne answered:
"Shoot, then, I will not let her go." What
inspired the murderer not to fire his re
volver into the body of the girl can only be
explained by the fact that her feet struck
uneven ground at this moment and she fell,
nearly carrying her sister with her. This
was Almy's opportunity, and, grasping
Christie around the waist, he draggectier
io the Lai, which he hod -pieviously
lowered, and pulled her over into the brush
beyond.
Fanny followed close behind, despite
Almy's threats to shoot. Meantime Christie
had been struggling to escape, and Almy
had his hands lull in holding her. Nearly
all of her clothing was torn on" in the strug
gle. Fanny's presence evidently discon
certed the murderer, for ho raised his re
volver and fired point-blank at her. The
bullet missed its mark and she kept on.
Then up the side of a distant hill were
heard footsteps. A man was hurrying doxvn
evidently in response to the alarm for help,
and Fannie thought only of guiding him to
the place where her sister had been struck
down by her assailant. Gathering her
skirts tight around her, the girl ran up to
ward the road, again coming in range of
Almy's revolver, which he fired twice after
her.
Assistance Arrives Too late.
The man was Emmett Marshal. Fanny
intercepted him and led him toward the
spot where his sister xvas held by Almy.
As tbey approached two more shots were
fired. There was a cry of agony, and all
was over. Then Marshal saw Almy run
up the hill and disappear in a row of under
brush. Since then he has not been seen.
Almy's infatuation for the young woman
xvas known to her parents and to herself.
but nobody dreamedfthat he would resort to
violence. When he"proposed marriage, and
it was learned that Christie disliked nis at
tentions he was discharged. That was the
1st of March. Since then he has dogged her
footsteps.
Mr. Warden's grief at the ..terrible fate of
his daughter was piteous to behold, but he
is now superintending tne search lor the
murderer. His offer of $500 has been sup
plemented witn onotner ot equal amount by
the town authorities. The whole State has
been aroused, and if the murderer is alive
it seems as though it was impossible for him
to escape.

CSPECIAL TELEGBAM TO THE DISPATCH.
New York, July 19. News has been re

enormous treasure in one of the subterra
nean vaults of the old castle of San Antonio
at Rio Janeiro, where it had lain hidden
since some time in the last century. Before
it was converted into a castle, San Antonio
was a monastery under the control of the
Jesuits, and it was during this period of its
history that the treasure is supposed to
have been hidden.
Underneath the castle are vaults built like
the corridors of a mine, and in one of these
a large number of cases, chests and bundles
xvas discovered. An examination -of the
contents of these chests and packages re
sulted in a most astonishing discovery. The
112 wooden cases contained gold to the value
of about $70,000,000. The consisted of old
Portuguese cruzados (ancient milreis worth
about 50 cents each), and the accounting of
the Treasurer was verified by documents
found in the cases. The 26 packages were
found'to contain a variety of precious stones,
whose value cannot be told, as they have
not yet been appraised. The excavations
about the castle are not yet finished.

rfPXCIAL TELEaiLAH TO THE DISPATCH.
Nexv York, July 19. The Congress of
the Republic of Venezuela has refused to
negotiate- a reciprocity treaty with tha
TJnited States upon the terms proposed by
the TJnited States Government.
The reasons given are that the
treaty stipulations would result in a
serious loss of revenue to Venezuela
without any compensating advantage to her
own producers in increased prices for the
agricultural products which they would be
permitted, under the proposed treaty, to
export to the United States free of duty.
The statement of the Congress is in answer
to a communication dated May 29, from
Senor R. Andueza Palaeio, President of
Venezuela, in which he requests the advice
of the Representatives as to the propriety
of negotiating the treaty.
The answer of Congress contains a compli
ment to Mr. Blaine, an expression of good
will toward this country and a hope for
future reciprocity upon conditions more ac- "
reptable to Venezuela. The reply of Con
gress was prepared by a special committee,
whose report says among other things:
The Reply of Congress.
"Only in case of agricultural productions
can the Government of the great Republic
offer us reciprocity of free admission, inas
much as these are the only articles which
can enjoy the benefit of her markets against
all those articles xvhich we, in exchange,
would open our markets to. In view of the
fact that we have no manufactured products
to enjoy the benefits which their multiple
products would enjoy here, it is natural
that we should compare the advantages and
disadvantages of the two contracting par
ties. "On account of the North American
products, which xvould secure free importa
tion into Venezuela, she would be forced to
make up elsewhere nearly 25 per cent of the
total amount of her customs revenue, a de
ficit which would reach 33 per cent by tha
proposed reduction of certain other articles.
to 75 per cent of the present duty, as fixed
in tho treaty. Yet this wouldn't be the only
leakage xvhich our public treasury would
undergo by the ratification of this treaty,
even if we accepted the theory of the United
States of America that the stipulation of
reciprocal concessions, determined by pub
lic treaties between two nations, does not
oblige either to allow the same to other
countries who have the right to claim treat
ment analogous to that accorded the most
favored nation.
Looking to Other Sources.
"The complete abolition of duties on some
North American products, and the notable
rebate on others, would completely alienate
from our markets the similar products from
other sources, which could not compete
with these, and consequently would
diminish European importations, in
order to increase American ones, by
which the decrease of the revenues
referred to above would become more and
more pronounced. Also it is worthy of con
sideration that the freedom from duty of
our agricultural 'products imported into the
United States and thus benefiting the North
American consumer, would constitute no
material benefit to our producers, inas
much as they would enjoy no increase iu
the price of their products.
"It may be said that the 40 or 50 per cent
by which the income of our custom nouses
would be diminished, would constitute a
positive benefit to the Venezuelan con
sumer; but we must bear in mind that if it be
true that a rebate of duties on public con
sumption should be the permanent tendency
of every just and liberal government, it is
also true that such measures can't be carried
out if found to be incompatible with the
unavoidable exigencies of the public
service, the credit, the finances, and other
vital necessities of the nation."

United States Senator Jones, of Arkansas,
by a school teacher with whom he

yesterday, created quite a sensation
here to-day. Young Jones was about
24 years old, tall and handsome, but one of
the fastest young men about town when he
xvas here, as he always xvas during a session
of Congress. He more than sustained the
old-time reputation of sons of Senators,
which had been somewhat languishing of

plete reformation of Butler Mahone and the
permanent departure for other scenes of

Jones, unlike the others mentioned,never
had any shooting affairs here, but he was
always getting into drunken rows with
other fast youug men of the "best society."
His livery bill was from $200 to $300 a
