MAX O’BKLL (PAUL BLOUKT.)

Borne of O’Kell’s most amusing accounts ft experisoces during his f rst tour of this eonntry, were those abont tba way the gewspaper people treated him. One of IhtM experiences was located in Indianapolis, and bad no truth in fact, which th# Frenchman afterward acknowledged, Claiming that there was a mistake in the panlUhed aesonnt, in naming ths city in whioh the Incident occurred. That did sot “square things," however, with Charley Layman, then s reporter on the Journal, now managing a theater for Dickson A Talbott in Columbus, O., and if O'itell lectures in that city, he and Layman Will “have it out," for the latter is still tnad all over about it Layinau is one of the most courteous end gentlemanly reporters ever in Indieuapolis, having a high regard for the ethics of tbs profession, aod being averse to anything that would reflect discredit upon it When O’Ksll was here two yssrs ago Layman went to the Hates Bouse to Jotcrvtew him. Ho eent up bis eerd, wee invited up, and spent an hour in O’Rell'a room, the latter apparently being particularly glad to talk with him. The reeultiug interview was published, and commended by O’Bell as baing accurate and graphic. * Boms time later, there appeared in a New Yofrk paper,’an alleged laterview with O'Kell in whioh, among other experiences, he woequoted essaying that an Indianapolis Journal reporter had broken into his room after be had retired, lighted the gas himself, pulled up a chair to the bed, asked all sorts of impertinent questions, and conduoted himself generally in an obnoxious manner. When Layman read this, he wanted to get on the “Limited Cattle Last," and go to see this foreigner for just a few minutes. Afterward Blonet wrote a letter apologizing (or tha sUtemente, and saving that refaranoe was not mad# to Mr. Layman, or any other Indianapolis reporter, but to an alleged newspaper man in a smaller citv. Layman isn’t entirely satisfied about the matter yet.^ \)lmm Morris’s Vowing Engagement. Mias Clare Morris, to whom tha recognition is frealy givsn of baing the greatest exponent, in this country at least, of the socalled emotional drama, will ,pUy at the Grand next Friday avening and Saturday matinee In Sradou'a "Odette," god Dumas’s "Camille." With the-exception of Sarah Bernhardt, Mist Morris, despite her semi-in-valid condition, necessitating long waits between acts, is conceded to be the most powerful of actresses in such dramas as these. The story of her profsesioual beginning and her rise is an interesting one. She Wes born in or near Cleveland. 0., and her first stage experience, at the age of twelve years, occurred in the Cleveland Academy of Musio,, at that time managed by John Lllslor. Her life there was varitd by the assumption of all kinds of “business," from comedy soubretts to tragedy dowagers, as occasion demanded. She finally graduated there, as “leading lady,” and went to Cincinnati, where she made a favorable impression Upon the vUiting “stars." McKee Rankin, then very popular, upon the eve of the production of “Foul Flay," at the Broadway Theater, New York,’ said to the managers: “There is a woman in Clevelsmd who is the greateet actress in the country; send for her; she is sure to make a hit" Bhe was sent for, but too late to be secured. Finally Augustin Daly, then the manager of the Fifth avenue Theater, was prevailed upon, at the suggestion of James Lewis, of bis eompanv, to engage her. He did so, not as leading lady, bat to play juvenile and email parts. Agnes Etnei was Mr. paly’e leading lady and was to appear as Anne Sylvester m “Man and Wife." Clara Morris was cost for a ^ small part A very few days before the production, Miee Ethel suddenly refused to appear. Consternation prevailed. There was no one available but the country recruit, Clara Morris. Mr. Daly, In despair. Intrusted the part to her, at very short notice. Being a quick study, she did not delby the production au hour, and after the . performance she had become famous in a Bight Her feeling is beet told by herself. “I will never forget it," said Mi*t Morris. "I knew that I must wiu or lose all by this one performance. In all that great city I bad ant two friends—my mother and one other. Ae 1 stepped upon the stage and faced the footlights end the great sea of faoea, turned toward me, I felt that indeoonbable giddinese and bewilderment that attends a stage fright assail me. My first speech was one of but two or three words. I opened Bty lips, but not a sound came forth, 'My God,' said my friend, 'she has failed.' My next coe come. I again essayed to speak. A hollow, unnatural sound came from my lips that frightened me more than the audience. The very horror at the unnatural sound of rav voice for the finit few words so alarmed me that In a moment the llgnts and the audience were forgotten and I became Anne Srlveeler.” • After this performance she became the leading lady of Daly's theater- end made great successes in “Jexebal,'’ “Divorce" and other plays. If there were any doubts of her being a great soirees they were forever dispelled when ebe gave for the first time her tremendous portrayal of Cora in ( ‘L’Article 47.“ It was the sensation of the dhy, and she was everywhere hailed as the frentest actress in the emotional domain. TBo Power or the Press. Mr. Augtstua Pitou and Goa H. Jessup’s play, “The Fewer of the Press,” is to be given a first production is this eity at English’s Opera Bouse next Monday evening, continuing for four nights. This pity was received with much favor during a long run ta New York City. It ie described as being Bn uncommonly strong melodrama, which i.laatrates, la a startling manner, the great ,nfiucuee exercised by the public press in

the righting of wrong. There are mid to be no leas than thirty speaking characters in the play. The principals of j the company are: Steven Careon, j James E.

Luke Martin, May Borsford, Miss Sally "Williams, Julia Seymour and MissLavonoia ; Shannon. Some notable realistic scenic effects are ! given, among those being e reproduction of j the entrance to the Manhattan Club of j New York, the Imperial Botel lobbv in j the same city, an East-river wbarf scene and a ship-yard with a vessel on the stocks.

Some of the Railroad Men Who Are Talked About Just Now—Mr. Bean Goes Up a Peg—The Railroad Nows of ths Day.

PlTTfiTOg, Pa, January 16.—Evangelist P. J. Kane, pastor of the Broad-atreet Methodist Episcopal church, has been conductint a series of gospel meetings in hie church daring the past two weeks. Among the subjects opon whjpb be preached was “Temperance.” The proprietors of tbs saloons became indignant at the preachers persistent attacks upon their traffic, and set about to find means of sfiencing him. A number of tough characters were hired to attend tbe meetings and endeavor to break them up. These were promptly arretted and sent to jail. Every day for the last week tbe minister has been in receipt of anonymous letters threatening him with bodily harm, and even death, if bs persisted in his crusade against the liquor traffic. In most coses the letter wss made up of printed words cut from newspapers. Detectives learned the name of a mao who was said to know all about tbe matter. This individual, under a pledge of secrecy, said that a conspiracy had been formed by six saloon-keepers to eflectiveiy silence she preacher. The plan was to warn him by anonymous letters to abandon the crusade or take the consequences. If the warning was not heeded be was to be “removed." The names of the saloon-keepers in the conspiracy were given and it is expected that they will be arrested as soon as the informer’s story can be substantiated. The wildest excitement prevails. The lawabiding citizens are ranged on tbe side of the preacher, apd threaten to form a vigilance committee and make it warm for the saloon-keepers. Tbe saloon men on tbe other band, disclaim all knowledge of tbs letters^ AN XX-PAgTOK’S TROUBLES.

Ills Conduct. In Regard to His Ctiurch, Held to Rsve Been Unbecoming.

New York,January 16.—Jarvis Worden, a former pastor of the United Presbyterian City Temple church, who resigned last December from tbe denomination and has entered tbe Episcopal church, in which he intends to take orders as soon as the six probationary months have passed,will have some serious charges brought against him, a member of the Presbytery said yesterday, when the committee meets next Tuesday morning in the Cbarles-street church. Mr. Worden’s change of faith has stirred up a good deal of feeling in the Presbytery, and he says that tbe bitterness of a few members has caused the whole trouble. When asked if he knew what tbe charges were, or what their nature was, be said he bad no idea. The Presbytery still owes him, he said, $200 for salary. Kev. Dr. Chas. Smith, a member of the Presbytery committee, said yesterday that one of the charges, which would bo brought against Dr. Worden, was that, for nino months, he had been undermining the fnitb of his congregation in the United I’resbyteriau church, and had been planning to take his people with him into the Episcopal church, and that he had done this while receiving a salary from the Presbyterians. Mr. Worden yesterday stamped tliis statement as entirely untrue The chuirmau of .the committee. Rev. Dr. Andersun, refused to say anything in regard to the action the Presbytery would take. Mr. Worden is at present lay-reader in the chapel of tbe Messiah, Niuaty-fourth street and Sacood avenue. BASIL GORDON'S SPEECH.

The News portrait gallery of chief clerks bos attracted a good deal of attention among railroad men, many of whom have not seen tbe individuals of whom it is wr.tten, “good when countersigned by.” But there is ona chief clerk who is probably known to the majoritv of train men on more than local roads, and that is Fred Robinson, chief dark to General Superin-

tendent Hiil, of the Lake Erie & Western. There are many superintendents who could get “pointers” in railroad work from Mr. t| Robinson. Tho’

t comparatively a V*v.l young man, his

entire life has ^ been spent in railroad work, and his father was an expert railroader before

FRED ROBISSOX. him. In 1S66 ‘Tittle Fred Robinaoo," as he was called then, learned telegraphy in the old Union depot when the office" was operated opposite the Sherman House. In 1667 he became a full-fledged operator at the Union depot. From the spring to the fall of 1808 he was extra operator on the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Indianapolis and occasionally stepped over to the Bee Line and did a iittle work. From December 1, 1H68, to 1S72 ho was clerk, operator and time-keeper at the I., P. A C. shops at Peru. From March, 1872, to September, 1873, he was operator to General Agent Pease on the Indianapolis A St. Louis, and from September, 1876, to December, 1885, was chief clerk at the I., P. A C. shops. In December, 1885. he became accountant to the trustees of the I., P. A C. and served until April, 1887. From April to October, 1887, he was chief clerk and time-keeper of the Lima (Ohio) shops for the Lake Erie A Western. From October, 1887, to March, 18£8, he was bill aod voucher clerk for the auditor of the same road, and in March, 1888, became General Superintendent Hill’s confidential secretary. Mr. Robinson is a graduate of The News office, aad is one of the many bright young men this office has turned *uL As will be seen, he is well equipped in clerical work, and he can set a brake, throw in coal or handle a throttle with any of them. He does not use liquor in any form, won’t sav a “cuss word” word worse than “darn it,” but sometimes he smokes a pipe that would make Charley Remelius sink out of sight. “Mr. Robinson” has few acquaintances, but everybody knows genial "Fred.” Another splendid young man who will

Whenever I have a cold. I always use one aad lad relief." I slot to tha drug stare for the plaster, and it did all that my friend had promised. Ever dace then I have used it whenever suffering from a cold, and I have many times prescribed it ftor patients.

Somo Remarkable Statements Attributed to Him About tbo Soldiers.

Richmond, Va., January 16.—The Virginia Legislature has passed a bill appropriating $32,000 to furalsbja cap-stone to the private soldiers’ aud sailors’ monument, now being erected here. This shaft, whioh is modeled after the pillar of Pompeii at Cairo, Is to be composed of thirteen blocks of granite, one to be contributed by each of the BUMS composing the late Confederacy. The bill making this appropriation was eloquently discussed in the .State Senate yesterday. The only Senator who raised his voice in opposition to the measure was Basil Gordon of Rappahannock, United States Senator Barbour’s successor as the chairman of the Democratic State Committee. Mr. Gordon, in his remarks, paid a glowing and eloquent tribute to the Southern cause and ner living aud fallen soldieiw. He, however, took the ground that there was a debt to pay to the survivors as well as to the dead. No higher tribute could be paid to tbe Southern dead, Mr. Gordon thought, than the immense number of pensions granted to tba Federal •oldtera and the monumenta raisad to tha dead of that army.

Boston, January Id.—Newa has been received of the safe arrival of the Peabody Museum Honduras expedition at the ruins of Copan. The first report from the officers of tha expedition has been forwarded to Professor Putnam, stating that they are in excellent health, after their rough journey of one hundred miles by mule train, and thty ora impressed by the grandeur of ths ancient ruins, among which it is their privilege to labor during the next six months. Comfortable living quarters have been established in the western court of the big pyramid. A corps of thirty-six native laborers are at work clearing tba debris around tbe court Several interesting experiences are reported in connection with the comparative atudy of ancient symbolic and conventional ornamentations. Plans are being made for taking molds and photographs of hieroglyphics and figures carved on the masaive stone structures on every side. The governments of Guatemala and Honduras have not only admitted material free of duty but have also given important official assistance to the o fficcrs of the expedition.

ISpeciaX to Tbs Indisnaootls Nswa.1 Crawfordsville, January 16.—The Montgomery Circuit Court has on its hands one of the most important cases in regard to the amount of money involved ever tried in the county. One of the preliminary skirmishes resulted yesterday favorably to the defendants, who were in this instance represented by John M. Butler, of Indianapolis. The defendants are the Frankfort A State Line Railroad Company, the Western Construction Company, the Toledo, St. Louis A Kansas City Railroad Company, William J. Craig, James H. Rice, ; William A. Peeie, Jr., John H. Minor and ! C'laries P. Washburue. The individuals Earned are directors 'of the Western Con- ! struction Company. The plaintiff's are j Charles M. MacLaren aud Francis M. Tris- | sal, stockholders in the same company, who i allege in very plain language in their com- : plaint that somebody lias juggled them out ; of their money. In 1874 the Frankfort A State Line Railroad Company was organized to build a narrow-gauee line from Frankfort, in a southwesterly direction, to the State line—a distance of sixty miles. The right-of-way was secured, and on August 31,1880, a written contract was entered into by which the Western Construction Company contracted to build the road in consideration of first-mortgage bonds for $10,000 a mile, with interest payable semiannually. The bonds were to be prepared aud presented to the railroad company when the road was finished, which - was on July 4, 1882. But the bonds were not prepared or presented, and for the very serious reason, the complaint reads, that “certain officers of the said Western Coustmetion Company wrongfully, and in disregard of the rights of its stockholders entered intoau agreement with certain officers of said Frankfort A State Line Railroad Company, to the effect that they should not be executed or issued." The plaintiff's further aver that the directors of the construction company would not permit them to sue the railroad iu the name of the company, although they offered to indemnify against all expense. The complaint next charges that tbe officers of the construction company have knowingly permitted a collusive arrangement between the Frankfort A St. Louis Railroad Company and the St. Louis, Toledo A Kansas City Railroad Company whereby the title to the former’s "property has been clouded and its value as security to pay ' bonded indebteduess is greatly ! iqipurrod. Therefor the plai tiffs pray the court to decree that the construction contract is a first lien on the sixty miles of the Frankfort A State Line road, and that the company owning it execute the bonds immediately, with interest at 7 per cent. The complaint was filed October 3, and two weeks later a summons was served on all the defendants aud upon James H. Rice, of Indianupolis, ns president of the Frankfort A State Line Riilrqpd Company. Next comes S. O. Bay less with an affidavit that Rice is not president of that company, aud a little later the sworn statements of Clarence Brown, of Lucas county, Ohio, and Otto Gresham, of Indianapolis, are filed, to the effect that the officers of tho Frankfort A State Line Railroad Companv are Saimiol IU Gallowav, of Toledo, p esidont; Otto G eshsm, secretary; Sylvester H.Kneeland, Robert G. Ingersoll, C. W. Waterman, Clarence Brown, Otto Gresham, S. R. Galloway and C. "W. Pratt, directors. The other side follows with the affidavit of Francis M. Trissal, of Chicago, who swears that Brown and Bayless are attorneys for the Toledo, St. Louis A Kansas City (Cloverleaf) railroad, and that he verily believes Otto Gresham is also; further, that those meutioned as directors of the Frankfort A State Line road are directors of the Cloverleaf. The affidavit relates a conversation with James H. Rice in which he says he it president of the Frankfort A State Line road, and that at the last election Otto Gresham, S. O. Bayless and others were oaudidates for the office of director, but were defeated. Rice also said that part of the records •f hia road had fallen into the handa of the Cloverleaf people in some way. The question ' before Judge Harney yesterday was whether Bice was the proper person to serve as representing the Frankfort A State Line Company, and he decided that he was not. The plaintiffs will probably next serve on Otto Gresham. They have three hundred shares in the Western Construction Company, which they claim is worthless on account of the neglect of duty on the part of the officers and director*. If they succeed in this suit It will be worth $300,000.

The Eastern roads are dissatisfied with the proposition of the through rate ther receive between the Mississippi river and thee Atlantic seaboard. They want a larger percent., and Traffic Manager Parker, of the Lake Erie A Western; Ford Woods, assistant general freight agent of the Big Four; H.W. Hibberd, general freight agent of the Vandalia, and Oscar Murray, traffic manager of the Big Four, are determined that so far as the Indianapolis lines are concerned there must be more addition and division. They urge that in many instances the Western Imes receive, as their share of the through rate, a larger amount than the local rate between the Mississippi river aud the juuotioa point.
