AClosed Men en. #rom the New York Mercurv. On Carey street in Baltimore stands peculiar dwe ling which has been an object of subdued interest to al who are partially or fully acquainted | S ! beautiful even m the embraces of a} with its pecuhar history. For forty years tts dark-colored shutters have ever been unbarred and its massive trent door never once epened. Within its portals the furniture just stands exactly the same, excepting the ravages produced by the master- fy hand of tme and the corroding touch of decay, as ‘t stood many ycars ago when its spacious halls re- sounded with lite and gavety. Its owner is a man aged, gray and Grizzly. His eye possesses a pecu- thar sharp, penetrating look, and re- ally appears as if it had not closed in serene slumber tor a full decade of human events. He is reported to be enormeusly wealthy, but, as far as ascertained, he never shows his bank books to any one, and he has not ome singve relative or friend this side ofthe Great Unknown. He sleeps én the house, always entering and téaving it by the back gate, and takes his daily meals at a neighboring res- ¢aurant. For forty years ne one but this gentleman has ever been inside ans dwelling until last Friday, when a Mercury representative was allow- ed to accompany him through its drcary‘and mysterious passages. Al- though he has been very reticent, es- pecially in regard to the history ot bis home and his present life, yet at this time he kindly gave, during the energetic journalistic interview which followed, the tollowing facts. They show what turned his mind into its present track, and why the old house “kas stood as it has for so longa time. Worty-five years ago Col. Rainbeck was a handsome man inthe prime o1 life, happy in the possession of an «mpfe tortune, and doubly blessed st. the proud consciousness of being the husband of one of the most love- @y and accomplished young ladies of Baltimore. He built what is now tke old house on Carey street, and éa that day it was a magnificent dwelling, and extensively and ele- gaatly furnshed from cellar to gar- eet. Nothing that wealth could command or taste desire was good enough for the ahode of what he ében considered his priceless earthly freasure. For five years the young couple lived there in happiness, and then came the thunderbolt. At the close of the five years re- ferred ta he ene day, right in the enidst of his connubial happiness. made a terrible discovery. He had thg most indisputable and undoubted proofs of the infidelity ot his beauti- ful wite. The outraged husband, pon the savage and bittcr impulse ef the moment, endeavored to kill the destrover ot his family altar. Phis man was present with his wife en his own house when the husband fully discevered his fearful wrong fn the excitement naturally incident €o the occasion he failed to kill him, but serieusly wounded him. Shock ed and horrified at the discovery and subsequent events, completely "pros wated mentally by the hewspaper i small room su the third story, Not one single house for my word,” arucle j has been touched 1n that forty vears, the old gentleman slices. and which was not used for any purpose what- | ever during the Itfetime ot his wife.

There Has to Say About His Condition. Carl Speog The following extract from a re- ever carried from that restdence, j rebuke to the old campaign cry of} nothing small or large has been changed within that dwelling, except as just noted. The once expensiye- ly and grtistically carved piano stands ) mildewed and open, with the now decayed green clech carelessly hang- ing over it, .ust as she left it years ago, when its present vellow keys were white and glistening, and mer- rily responded to tae gracetul touch ot her small white hand; the moths | and worms of decay revel in undis- | turbed hilary among the folds of | the once elegant curtains and through | the once expensive Axminister car- | put; the massive walnut furniture stands moldy, gradually falling to pieces in the utter silence of unlim- ited decay. In the ‘‘living-room’’— the sittir'g-reom—ot this mansion ef desolation, every small article. of every day use remains exactly as she lett them, gr as she placed them dur- ing her last mortal visit to the spot where she spent the happiest hours ef her earthly life. It would make even a young, giddy girl of this world who, never yet having experienced any trouble, tondly and gayly imag- ine life te be one everlasting bed ot ever bloomlng roses, without ene single thorn or briar, just heart-sick te go through that silent abede ot death and decay. Before this interview terminated the old gentleman kindly read an ex- tract fro.n his wi 1, in which he had arranged certain monetary attairs, with his sure, business-like precision that old house, with all its decaving and moldy furniture, will stand just exactly as it has stood for the past torty vears, for a long time te come, until, in fact, all wichin its walls will, hke the bodies of the once happy man and woman whose bright presence enlivened itin the almost forgetten past, shall have crumbled into the dusty oblivion of utter nothingness. **You see,’’ the old gentleman sadly said, as his visitor with a heavy heart and sympathizing mind bade him good-by at the back gate, ‘I am de ing much more than living up to my promise. I have the wealth to do it. and I want todo it. She may he able—we here can not tell, but we shallknow some day—she may be tble now to know all this, to see what is in my heart of hearts, and 1 know it would make her happy. And, he slowly added with tears in his eyes, ‘with all her deception and sin, and with full knowledge ot the awful fac, I still worship her as much aslever did, and want te makc her happy tor time and eterni- ty.” Bill Nye on Senator Tabor. | krom the Boomerang .
