CLEVELAND AT KANSAS CITY

The Natives Explain That Tliey Haven't Got Very Much to Exhibit JustKow, But Will Have Some Fine Houses Constructed Sometime in the Fniure In the Meantime Thej Make a Vast Amount of Noise. Kansas Citt, Oct. 13. The demonstration in Kansas City in honor of the President of the United States is a tumultuous and noisy proceedin sr. bat is attended vrith no greater disorder than seems to be inevitable wherever the President appears. The exposition had called in a fxeat number of strangers, but the advent of the President has hardly left standing: room in the town. "You mast excuse appearances," said a lady to Mrs. Cleveland; "we have only jnst moved in, and have not eot settled yet." Ttae expression was better understood as the visitors were escorted through the streets in carriages this morning. With many beautiful, even palatial, residences, and with signs of the enormous commerce which centers here observable on , every band, there were everywhere the evidences of immaturity. Streets in many place were torn up. and building operations seemed almost everywhere in progress. Tlie President' conductors pointed oat these features with pride. "We do not boast of the residences we have built," they said, "so much as of the business we have started, which is going to build our residences hereafter." The ride wan a well-managed and thoroughly enjoyable affair. Only carriages enough to'carry the visitors and an escort committee of eleven gentlemen were provided. These were preceded and followed by small but sufficient troops of cavalry. The marshal of the procession, Colonel Milton Moores, accompanied by about twenty deputies, headed the line. The party set out from the hotel at half past nine o'clock, amid the cheers of the multitude, and made its way rapidly through the western portion of the town without stopping until it reached the highest eminence in the city. From this point the bluff fell away precipitously to the lower town, three hundred feet below. Immediately beneath stretched the five or six square miles of railroad yards; and as the President's carriage made its appearance on the brow of the hill every locomotive of all the fifteen railroads centering here opened its throat and screamed. - The concert was led by a rusty-lookiug monster wnose tones, by some manipulation of the performing: artist, ware line the howling of a family of coyotes, only multiplied to ear-splitting dimensions. The . President's attention was called to the great area lyiug beyond the railroad yards, covered by mammoth packing houses and establishments for the sale of agricultural implements. These were barely visible through the intervening smoke and steam. A brief pause vas made at the Exposition building, but the President did not alight. From-this .point the party proceeded 'to the site of the projected new Y. M. C. A. building, at the northwest corner of Ninth and Locust streets, of which the President laid the corner-stone. Tnis ceremony was preceded by the sineing of hymns, a brief address and a prayer by Bishop Hendricks. The President's remarks on the occasion were as follows: In the busy activities of our daily life we are apt to neglect the instrumentalities which are (juietlr but effectually d"ing most important" srrvica in molding our national character. Among these, and challenging but little notice compared with, their valuable results, are the Young Men's Christian Associations scattered throughout our country. All will admit the supreme importance of that honesty and fixed principle which rest upon Christian motives anrt purposes; and all will acknowledge the sad and increasing temptations which beset our young men and lure them to their destruction. To save these young men, oftentimes deprived of the restraint of home, from degradation and ruin, and to fit them for usefulness and honor, these associations have entered the field of Christian effort and are push ing their noble work. When it is considered that the subjects of their efforts are to be the active men for , good or evil in the next generation, mere worldly pru-. and encouraged. Their increase and nourishing condition reflect the highest honor upon the good men who have devoted themselves to this work, and demonstrate that the American people are not entirely lucking in appreciation of its value. Twenty years ago but one of these associations owned a building, and that wan valued at only $l.O0O. To-day mora than one huadred such builuings, valued at more than So, 000.000, beautify the different cities of our land and beckon-our young men to lives of usefulness. I am especially pleased to be able to participate to-day in laying the corner-stone of another of these fd fires in this active and growing city; and I trust that the encouragement given the Young Men's Christian Association located here may be commensurate with its assured usefulness and in keeping with the generosity and intelligence which characterize the people of Kansas City. While the ceremonies were in progress the corps of pickpockets which has followed the presidential party thronghout its tour industriously plied th'Mr art. One of these gentry, a florid, well built, though rather heavy man, was discovered by his victim in the act, just too late, however, to prevent the robbery. Loud cries of "Catch that man" interrupted the impressive proceedings fur a second. A man was seen te dash from a crowd, fall off a stone wall, knock over one or two women, and rush for freedom, with three or four policemen after him. The outcome was not learned. When the biief proceedings were ended, the President and his party went to .their hotel, where an hour was given to lnncb. About 1:30 o'clock Hon. E. II. Allen, president of the Board of Trade and chairman of the reception committee; ex-Congressman R. T. Van Horn, Congressman William Warner, Mr. W. II. IWil'er. secretary of the Board of Trade; a committee of about a dozen ladies and gentlemen called upon the President and conducted himself and Mrs. Cleveland to their carriages. They were then escorted through the more thickly-built business streets of the city and brought up at the rear of the government building, where they arrived about 3 o'clock. Aliehtine they were escorted through the postofDce and out upon the front portico of the building, where a stand and awning had been erected. Fully 50.000 persons were congregated about this point, the roofs, windows, telegraph poles and radiating streets as far as they were visible being one packed mass of shouting humanity. When the caod had finished the strains of "Ilail to the Chief Mr. Allen advanced to the rail and introduced to the President Mayor Henry C Kumpf, who made a formal speech of welcome to the President. It was a model of brevitv, as follows: Mr. President On behalf of the citizens -of this city, it is my pleasant duty to bid you a hearty weieome to the metropolis of the Missouri Valley. We are harpy to receive and entertain our President. Although elected by one political party, yer, when elected, he ia the President of the wnole people. This vast assemblage of people have come here, not only to show their respect for the President of the nation of over tifty millions of people, but for the man also. We will do all we can to render your visit pleasant, and hope that we will succeed in our laudable efforts. I egain bid you a hearty welcome to Kansas City. The President spoke as follows in reply: "I had not long settled upon a visit to St.lxuis. when I found that it would not do at all to go there without also seeing this wonderful city on Missouri's western border. One of your enterprising citizens, anxious that I should not reach here in ignorance of your achievements, has sent me a newspaper, exhibiting the progress of the eity during the first six months of the present year. Three months have passed since this reeord was made up, and he wrote me that he thought if I added 50 per cent, to the figures which it contained 1 would strike the proper estimate of your condition to-day. While tnis shows the greatest faith and confidence in what yon ean do. I am inclined to think, from something I have recently seen published, that the rule thus laid down is none too liberal. The truth of the statement made in this newspaper report is clinched by the compiler when he says at the beginning: "The fact is that it is almost impossible to lie about Kansas City," and when a splendid delegation of youf business men called upon roe. aud in the kindest and most eordial way invited me to be your guest, one of them was introduced as a dealer in real estate, who. it was declared, if I came here would ell me a city lot before t left: and this remind me of a friend who made a trip to the Pacific coast, and as he came back found his way to Kansas City and bousrht a lot. He went Immediately home, and when he arrived there he found that his lot had been sold for enough in advance of Its cost to pay the expenses of the entire trip across the continent. Of course, there ia no limit to what a community ean do. living in such a place as this, and ftctuAted by a spirit which these incidents manifest. Thus we find the value of the real-estate transferred for the first six months of the year 1886. to be something over S-7.00O.OOO. while for the first six months of the present year the amount is more than fOi,50.(iOO. AH transfers of real-estate are not Indicative ot actual, substantial city prosperity. The mere passing of lar.d from owner to owner at enhanced prices may be a symptom of pecuintion which really creates no new value, and adds nothing to municipal wealth or progress. But when buildings are put up by the purchasers of th e land, and tenants are found to occupy them for trador residences it is a pretty lure sign that the business of the city is increasing as well as the population. Kansas City stands the test of this ruh. for during the oix months ending June 30. 18S7. 'he increase in the number of building permits iaxued and in the value of the buildings ihey tovered, kept pace with the value of the laud trans

ferred. I must not be expected to go further into tne details of the things which show your progress. It is sufficient to state that it is apparent in the activity of every branch of your diverse business, as well as. in the vast public improvements completed . and under way, and which are made necessary by your phenomenal growth. In the statements I have seen of your city, mention is made of Eastern investments here, and of their importance to you. The richness of the country about you and its enhanced productiveness is also stated as an important factor of your greatness; and your railroad facilities, placing you in communication with joar fellow countrymen in every direction, you must admit are indispensable to vour developement. f am remind 1 by the-e suggestions how dependent, after all, communities no less than individual, are upon not only the gifts of providence, but upon each other. I never could appreciate any just cause for jealousy on the part ot the West toward the East. If capital has accumulated in the East, the newer

regions of the West, perhaps, needs it for its building up. If you have products to sell it surely is no cause of offense if you find a market for them in the East. These conditions should make friends, not jealous and suspicious enemies. Both sections are working, though, perhaps, in different lines, to ma ire our common country great and wealthy. Remember, too, that you are fast becoming the East to that vast country beyond you, upon wl ich so much cf your future prosperity must depend. When I leave you I shah go on my way of travel to visit our fellow-citizens in the South. I shall bear to older cities the impression made by my observation of the new, fresh ar.i astounding growth of those ot the West. I shall s'.o there a section of our country whose prosperity is accessary to your prosperity. I shall not find people hee.Uess of our nation's growth aud welfare, but I shall find there, as well as here, a determined, cheerful American pride of country, stimulating to activity and enterprise, and leading not less tnTe than here to national greatness and glory. The W&st and the South, aud every section, are hand in hand in this sublime mission, and no discord of partisan hate and rancor should be allowed to interrupt the cadence of their steady tread. At the conclusion of the President's remarks, the people were given an opportunity to greet him and his wife. They passed rapidly through a gangway, four abreast, and there was little or no hand-shaking. Even at this rate, the recepcaption continued until 5 o'clock, and there were still a number in line who left disappointed. Tbe party returned to the Coaies House, at the conclusion of the public reception, fbr dinner. One of the party who has seen all the receptions since the President left Washington says that the reception at the custom-house this afternoon was the most successful of them all in point of numbers. Over 23,000 persons paid their respects in less than two hours. This evening at 6 o'clock, the President aud Mrs. Cleveland were entertained at dinner by Hon. E II. Allen, representing the reception' committee. The other guests were the Postmastsr general and Mrs. Vilas, Dr. Bryant and Colonel Lamont, of tbe President's party. Dr. Morrison Munford and wife. Gen. A. McD. MeCook and Dr. J. D. Lippincott, of the University of Kansas. Several other prominent gentlemen and their wives were invited, but tbe impossibility of getting transportation in the present crowded condition of the city kept them away. The festivities closed to night with the pageant of the Priests of Pallas and their subsequent ball. Great preparations had been made for these features, and the popular expectations were fully realized in the splendor of tbe parade. The magnificent character of the entertainment, to getber with the long line of march, caused a slight delay in the start f the procession, but the myriads of sight seers waited patiently all along the route and rewarded the participants by hearty cheering asach display came in sight. There were twenty floats in line, and as they passed under tbe briiliant arches of gas-jets, made a gorgeous scene. The march was delayed somewhat by minor accidents, but it was ell over at 11 o'clock, and bv midnight tho large hall built fr the priests of Pallas ball "was filled with a gay assemblage. Seven thousand invitations had been issued, and although not nearly all were accented, the hall was crowded with dancers and the festivities continued until a late hour. The President concluded that it would be best for himself and his fellowexcursionists to avoid the danger which might attend a trip through the densely-crowded streets to the junction, where a reviewing stand had been erected for him, and for that reason, as wtdl as economy of time, he remained at tbe hotel, and with Mrs. Cleveland witnessed the parade from the balcony. Shortly before 10 o'clock the presidential party proceeded to the carriages and were speedily driven to the station at Twentieth and Broadway, in order to avoid the crush at tbe Union depot. Tbe train had been pulled out from the depot to the station, and by II o'clock the party were on their way to Memphis via the Kansas City. Fort Scott & Gulf, and the Kansas City, Springfield & Memphis railroads. A stop will probably be made at Springfield, Mo., when the train reaches there, about 5 a. m. The President expressed the pleasure the visit to Kansas City had given him and his regret that hig engagements precluded a longer stay. The party left with all in good health and spirits, but quite fatigued, with the days excitement and sight seeing. Mrs. Cleveland is held in warm remembrance by the patinas of the City Hospital, who were tbe beneficiaries of a thoughtful act of kindness on her part during her sojourn in Kansas City. The flowers which filled the President's car on arrival in this city, and all those which she received in this city, and these together made a large wagon-load, were, by Mrs. Cleveland's directions, sent to tbe hospital for the benefit of the inmates, who returned their grateful thanks to the lady who remembered them. Sensational Ii.cident at Minneapolis. Minneapolis, - Oct. 13. The excitement occasioned by the appearance in the Minneapolis Tribune, on the morning after President Cleveland's visit, of an editorial containing severe strictures on the administration and the manner of conducting tbe present "tour for votes," culminated to-night when Mr. A. J. ' Blethen, proprietor of the Tribune, was burned in effigy bv a crowd of roughs. The exceptions taken to the editorial were based principally on the language used with reference to Mrs. Cleveland, which was as follows: "It is extremely hard to respect either member of this family now touring for votes. Mrs. Cleveland is a handsome, mature woman, apparently several years older than she is said to be. At least, she was old enough to have exercised her own free choice in marrying Grover Cleveland. It is inconceivable that she should have married him except to obtain the position of mistress of the White House. Such a marriage would never have been thought of but for the astonishing political accidents which, in the course of two or three years,", brought Mr. Cleveland out of the obscurity which ia his proper element, to the' highest position in the , nation. It is hard to have respect for a woman who would sell herself to so gross and repulsive a man as Grover Cleveland, and one with a private record so malodorous, for the bauble of a private social ascendency. She is now an object of curiosity and remark for gaping crowds, and her photographs are sold almost, if not quite as freelv as Mrs. Lang try's. Such is her reward. If she can secure a re-election for Grover. she will have four years more of tbe gratification which the highest social prominence gives, and of the delight of unflagging newspaper notoriety. After that she will simply have to put up with being the wife of as in significant and obscure a man as an ex-President could possibly be. One cannot help a pang of sympathy for her, but she has chosen her lot deliberately." About 10 o'clock this evening about 100 men and boys, mostly members of an association of the lowest class of local Democracy, known as the Algonquin Club, gathered at a saloon of a rather hard reputation, and after drinking heavily, repaired to a secluded snot in a side street and fired the usual straw man which has been seen on such occasions from time immemorial. The mob was led by Mayor A. A- Ames, who is the patron of the so-called "Wide Open" element which had control of the city until crippled last spring by a police commission of Republican creation. Ames was foremost in the Cleveland reception, and takes no pains to conceal his self proposed candidacy for the vice-presidency. After burning the effigy the crowd proceeded to the Tribune building and made further demonstrations, but was finally dispersed by the police. Mr. Bletben regards the affair as a joke on Mavor Ames and the crowd, as important business kept him away from the Tribune office on Tuesday night, and he knew nothing whatever of the article until it appeared on Wednesday morning. How tbe President Looks. Madison Journal. As to the President, he does not look as well as his picture represents him. He is greatly flattered in his portraits that are sent abroad. In size he is larger and more flabby than was expected, and his complexion is rough and bad. In general conduct, he appears ratbr pleasanter than fancy bad pictured him. His manner of conversation is more graceful and easy, and his countenance lights up with a smile that was not anticipated. It is true the smile is a fixed one, having the appearance of being manufactured for the occasion, and not quite natural. His features also exhibit a degree of cunning, a real foxy craftiness that was a surprise. It accounts, however, 'for a power that has been exhibited in his administration, that has perhaps been attributed toothers. Tbe kind side toward tbe mugwumps, and the invention of the term "offensive partisanship" are seen in this fixed smile. Cunning is a strong ingredient in the Presi

dent's character. The reputation of blunt frankness, claimed for him, is not well deserved, if the expression of his countenance at a reception is a fair index to his character. There is no indication of a high order of ability in his appearance, nor does it stand out in his speeches or conversation. He is a man of moderate ability, not more than fourth rate. It does seem st range that such a man should be chosen to the head of a nation of 60,000,000 of people, when there are thousands and tens of thousands of men to be found, vastly bis superiors, in ability and in general acquirements, that qualify a person fdr that exalted position. This choice was certainly an accident that the people will not be likely to repeat Mrs. Cleveland aa a School-Girl. St. Paul Special to Philadelphia Press. During their stay in St. Paul Miss Frankie attended a select school with her cousin, Minnie Hnddlestone. Most of those who were their school-mates then are married, and many of them have moved away from St Paul. About all the remembrance of her that survives among them is that she was tail, lean and unusually dignified for her age; bright-witted and good company when she chose to be. Some of her old friends remember ber giving a dinner party. On this occasion she made up the bill of fare, did the marketing and cooked tbe entire dinner with her own hands, and all who sat around tbe board agreed that nothing could have been nicer. Some of the boys with whom she went to school had Frances assist them in making a kite one day, and several of her old schoolmates tell how she went out to picnics with them to a place known as Fountain Cove. Mr.". Cleveland, on the other hand, remembers her old St Paul friends, and has recently mentioned tbe names of some of them in conversation regarding her coming visit To one lady, who performed 6ome little service for her aunt years ago, she sent a present last Christmas.

AX ACCOMPLISHED RASCAL. Frank P. Landers Escapes from the Stillwater Penitentiary History of His Career. St. Paul, Oct 13. Deputy wardens and penitentiary guards have scoured the country today iu vain looking for Frank P. Landers, alias Wilbur James, the noted confidence man, who escaped from Stillwater penitentiary last even ing, ine general opinion seems to be that be had help from the outside, as he has many friends and acquaintances in the North weat. Tbe history of Landers's career reads like a iomance. He is a handsome fellow, of engaging manners and well educated. He was born in Utica, and a dozen years ago, in Chicago, was engaged in some daring forgeries, for which he was arrested in Sedalia, Mo., and on trial given a light sentence. Shortly after be served a sentence of four years and six months in the Hartford, Conn., jail, for forgery. He also served short sentences at Baltimore aud Port Jervis. After that he swindled Philadelphia merchants out ot $2 000 by means of bogus check?, and soon after levied upou San Francisco people to the amount of $12,000. He next appeared in Chicago as Lieutenant Sommerville, ot the Navy, and cut a great social swatb in his gold braided uniform. He signalized his departure by giving an elegant banquet at the Hotel Richelieu to a number of prominent people, and the next day borrowed $7,000 from tbe same persons and disappeared. Then he went to Ithaca, N. Y., to Eurone again, and New Orleans, where he assumed the character of New York Herald corresnondent and head of a Shreveport cotton firm, ard secured $1,000. Coming to St Paul he had considerable social success under the name Wilbur F. James, and finally confidenced jewelers here out of $3,000 worth of goods. From here he went to Europe, and his next exploit was to cheat William Hendrick's Sons, of Louisville, out of diamonds worth $1,500. After another vacation in Europe . he attacked Omaha and went away from there $5,000 richer. After that he went to Boston and bought two suits of clothes, offering a forged check in pavraent For this he was apprehended, was brought to St Paul and convicted for bis misdeeds here, and found guilty May 19. 18S being sentenced to twentyfour years at Stillwater. He was one of the editors of the Prison Mirror, a recently established newspaper, and has conducted himself with so much seeming rectitude that he Lad been allowed many privileges, by the use of; which be finally made his escape. A STARVING DEVOTEE. He Will Begin the Healing of Nations After lie nas Fasted Forfy-Two Days. i biladelphia, kjcz. xj. iii. f. j en Kins, an Englishman, fifty years old, who is living at the southeast corner of Twenty-first and Bainbridge streets, has not tasted food for more than three weeks and says he intends to fast forty-two days. All efforts to induce . him to eat have failed and to-night he had completed the twentythird day of his fast The last meal that he ate was on Sept IS He told a reporter to-night, that he was under a divine obligation to bis Creator to abstain from food for forty-two days, jeuKins is a nig, Proaa snouiaereu man, with a benevolent face and winning smile, a wonderful physique, silvery hair and white mutton-chop whiskers, and has a deep, rich voice, and a keen eye. He left his home in Cornwall a month ago. and arrived in this city about the 1st of Septem ber, i He says that he didn't know until he sailed from England that he was to come to this city. and that he received a divine communication on Sept. 18 to go through the fast of the prophet Elias, who, according to the Old Testament, is known as Elijah, and abstain from food for forty days and forty nights. Jenkins says he is not doing the Doctor Tanner act, and at first re fused to talk about his semi-starvation, because. ha 6aid, it was none of the public's business, and was a confidential compact between himself and bis Creator. tierore be left bis English home he was a farmer on the Cornish coast, and 6ince 1SG3 he says he has beeh a professor of religion. Jen kins weighed 212 pounds when he began his long last lo-ajgbt be weighed 194 pounds. The loss of eiehteen pounds has told on him in the loose manner in which his clothes fit him. He has been growing weafc since Sunday, and to day he was weaker than he has been yet His lips have lost their color. They are parched and bloodless. Hie fv;e, which was ruddy, is bleached white. li s eyes are growing dull, and any exertion tells on him. He said to-night: "After my fast is up I shall fill up for three weeks, and all the people couldn't induce me to taste food until Oct 30 "has passed." Jenkins claims that the work of performing miracles will be given him, aud that he will heal all the ills in the world; that the dumb shall speak, tbe deaf hear, and the blind see. The Insane Asylnm Fire. Cleveland, O., Oct 13. People have been flocking in crowds to the Northern Ohio Insane Asylnm to-day, anxions to obtain news of friends among the patients, as well as to visit the chapel and laundrv. which were destroyed by fire last night One moreburned and charred body was taken from the chapel early this morning, increasing the list of the dead to seven. Three bodies have not positively been identified as yet, but beyond doubt tbe unrecognizaoie remains are those ot Miss Kioe. an employe, who bag been missing since the fire; Miss Brinkerhoff. a patient from Wayne countv. and Mrs. Kimberly, a patient from Columbiana county. The injured inmates are doing as well as can be expected, and all may recover. Three escaped patients were captured this morning, and only two are now unaccounted for. The coroner is at the asylum making an investigation, but has not begun an inquest as yet. Women Badly Beaten by a Bnrelar. FonduLac, Wis.. Oct. 13. The city is highly excited over the discovery of a shocking tragedy, which was committed near the limita of the town at an early hour this morning. It seems that an unknown burglar entered the residence of Mrs. Koehne and four daughters. He was discovered and made a criminal assault on one of the women, but was unsuccessful. He thee attacked tbe five women with a club, nearly killing ail of them. The walls and floor of the house are spattered with blood, aud everything indicates that a terrible struggle was maae by the frenzied women. The assailant secured $3 and escaped, after first threatening his mangled victims with immediate death if they made an outcry. A reward of $.300 has been offered for the detection of the criminal. The unfortunate victims are in a critical condition. Vessel and Crew Given Up for Lost Gloucester, Mass., Oct 13. The schooner Thomas L. Tarr, that saiied from here Aug. 19, with a crew of fourteen men, on a fishing voyage, is given up for lost with all on board. She was last seen at anchor Sept 3, the day of the disastrous hurricane on the banks. Nothing tries the patience of a man more than to listen to a hacking cough, which he knows could easily be cured by investing 23 cents in a bottle of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup.

TKAIK'S INCENDIARY FKOTH

Mayor Eoclie Concludes that Chicago Has Had Enough Anarchist Talk, And Issues Orders tLat Citizen Train Be Arrested and J'laced in Jail in Case He Attempts to Deliver Any More Speeches. Chicago, Oct. 13. The Mayor this morning directed the police department to summarily snppress George Francis Train and to not permit bim to speak again. If he makes any further demonstrations he will Le taken to the lock-up and held until he can be legally adjudged insane and committed to a lunatic asylum. The largest audience that he bas yet had in the city preeted Train at tbe Twelfth street Turner Ball last sight, there being between 1,200 and l.SOO persons present At night many of those who got in the hall were simon-pure Anarchists and took his talk seriously, and it will be surprising if nothing more serious than laughter results from Train's utterances. Last night he became a little bold. When he said the police would not allow him to sell his paper, he dared them to stop him there, and when a score of those present jumped up and volunteered to sell his Anarchist sheet, he supplied them with copies, which were in a momentsold. His speeches during tbe evening consisted of a few sentences on every topic that came to his mind. He took a vote on a proposition to hang Jay Gould, and a unanimous "aye" was the result. After taking a similar vote on "All those in , favor of the constitutional right to carry arms," he dared the police to arrest him. He called on Mrs. Parsons, arid for ten or fifteen minutes she harangued the crowd. H promised to build for the workingmen of Chicago a hall, with a library and reading-room which would accommodate 10,000, and donate it to them. This was greeted with long and loud cheers. Afterward he said: "lam going to build my friend Devine a half-million-dollar publishing house, twenty stories high. . I will then take Mayor Roche to the top floor and drop bim down the elevator shaft All those iu favor of throwing the Mayor down the elevator shaft say aye." A unanimous aye was the response. Mr. Train was to have delivered a lecture at West Twelfth street, Turner Hall, tonight, bnt the engagement was cancelled on account of Mayor Roche's order to the police to prevent any such lecture, and Mr. Train left for Springfield to fill the first of a series of lectures in the West Before leavine he had a number of let ters printed, addressed to Devine, tbe cmef of police, and Mayor Roche, which were read in the saloon under tbe Turner Hall to a number of people who had assembled to hear the lecture. Checkered Career of a Picturesque Man. Chicaco Herald. George Francis Train, or Citizen Train, as he now calls himself, is one of the most picturesque characters in America, and withal one of the most harmless "of men. Ostensibly he comes to Chicaco to boom the amnesty move ment in favor of the condemned Anarchists, but anybody who may attend bis lectures will hear more about G. F. T. than about Spies, Parsons, etal. His public career, extending over half a century, ia crowded with interesting events many of them national and international in their importance. He was bcrn in 1829 in Boston, where his father, Oliver E. Train, was a successful merchant of considerable fortune. His erandfather was Rev. George Pickering, who became famous in the first quarter of this century for emancipating his slaves and declining a Methodist bishopric. At the age of four years Train was taken to New Orleans by his father, who went to the Crescent City to engage in business, but he had not been there long before yellow fever attacked the city. Train's mother and three sisters were among the first who succumbed to tbe scourge, and Train him- . self was only saved from it by his father's prompt action in sending him to Boston in charge of tbe captain of a clipper ship that departed from New Orleans. When young Train reached his native city he was informed'of his father's death, which occurred within a week after his own departure from New Orleans. After a long career at academies and colleges young Train entered a mercantile office at Cambridgeport as a clerk, and he remained thore two years, when, growing dissatisfied, he went to Boston and entered the employ of Enoch .Train & Co. His marked ability soon became obvious to the members of the firm, and bis advancement was so rapid that in 1853 he was sent to London and Liverpool as the Enerlish correspondent and manager of the housa. In 1851 he was married in Louisville and he made a considerable tour of the country with his bride, and two years later he went to Australia, where he founded a mercantile house that afterward became famous. It established connections with all the famous merchants of Europe and America, and was besides the aeent of the celebrated White Star Line of clipper ships that was then controlled by Pilkington & Wilson, of Liverpool. During his residence in Australia he was one of the central figures of the revolution and the republic, and he was tendered the presidency of that ephemeral government bnt declined it. Shortly after that he became famous for bis letters from Asia, Africa and Australia. During a second residence in Europe he completely revolutionized the business methods of tbe entire world by establishing a prepaid passenger business, and introducing small bills of exchange. Then he conceived the ida of building street railways in London and Liverpool, or tramway lins. as Englishman persist in calling them. The English public didn't want tbe improvement The English public never wants any improvements, in fact. It fought Mr. Train's scheme with an ardor that was pearly the death of it, but he was so persistent that be was at last successful. Another great financial enterprise he maneuvered was the sale of the bonds of the Atlantic & Great Western railway, and he conducted it so successfully that he at once jumped into the front rank of financiers of the world. During the days before the war. whan the slavery question was under discussion, Train was frequently on the lecture platform in favor of abolition. His trial in 18G2 for manslaughter, which resulted in his acquittal, was followed by his agitation of the Union Pacific railway scheme. He advocated the construction of a transcontinental road with its eastern terminus at Omaha, and bis advocacy was conducted with so much vigor that he was st last successful. The celebrated Credit Mobilier was another of his conceptions, and he was tbe central figure of it throughout In-1869 he began his now historic campaign for the presidency, and during the three years following he delivered hundreds of lectnres all over the country. He made the last speech of bis campaign in 1872 in Wall street to an immense throng of people, and when the meeting was over he made a public defense of Claflin and Woodhull. who were conspicuous at that time for their advocacy cf free-love doctrines There was so much in bis speech that the police con sidered obscen and otherwise reprehensible that they arrested bim and locked him up in the Tombs. Although many offers of bail were made he declined to accept anything but an immediate trial. He even refused liberty on bis own re cognizance. His peculiar actions and soeech at tracted widespread attention among medical men, and there was so much said about his mind being unbalanced that it was determined to examine bim ti ascertain if he was really sane. Tbe examination resulted in an inquiry of lu nacy before Judge Noah Davis. When th testimony of the medical experts who bad examined Train was all in Judge Davis ordered tbe jury to return a verdict of insanity, which they did without leaving the court-room. An appeal was taken, and on May 30. 1873. before Judge Fancber, Train was discharged as sane, and on the next day he started for Germany, where he soon got into jail for some pnhiie utterances. Then be came back to tbe United States again and took up the cause of the workingraan, which he advocated until 1877, when be determined to hold no further intercourse w.tb man. He re solved to treat only with women and children thereafter, and he bas kept that vow, as far as practicable, up to the present time. After his trial for lunacy Train made many excursions to Enrope, and he was successful, according to his now statements, in getting himself lorEed up in jail in every European country. Just before the last monarchy in France fell before public indignation, Tram made a treasonable speech from the balcony of a hotel in Toulon, and a party of police agents who heard him undertook to arrest him. Tram saw them coming, and drawing a silken flag the stars and stripes from beneath his coat be wrapped it around his peroon and defied the officers. They hesitated and he renewed his defiance by continuing bis speech. They did not undertake his arrest while wrapped in tbe folds of the nag because tnoy feared they might cause international com

plications. Thousands of ' newspaper readers will remember the days when the cables used to bear tidings from France, Germany, Austria, Russia and other countries of Train baviug been thrown into foreign jails for peculiar utterances, with long descriptions of the man and bis behavior. Generally after this first account nothing more would be heard of him for weeke, and then a dispatch, thousands of miles away from the place the other was sent, conveying the same information. Train in jail. He made it a business.it would seem, to go through those countries and violate their tyrannical laws just to get in jail. He was eminently successful. Of late vears Train bas kept himself before the public bv his peculiar writings, lectures and his professed fondness for children. Occasionally, too, he will take a flyer at some policeman, as of yore, and create a disturbance that will set telegraph instruments clicking everywhere, but he has not been so fortunate in getting into the dutches of the law as of yore. Perhaps his yearning ambition on that score may be satisfied before he leaves Chicago. Notwithstanding his eccentricities Train has been a success as a financier throughout his life, and he has, in conFeqiience. accumulated a big fortune. At the Present time he is worth not less than $2,000,000, his holdings in Omaha alone reaching over one-balf of that figure. It is safe to say that this picturesque man, who has come here to preach liberty for condemned men. will go on accumulating morey until he dies or grows too old to longer attend to his own affairs.
