Apecial Dispatch to The Tribune, Boston, Mass., Aug. 23.—The Rev. Isaac 8. Kalloch is best remembered here by the story pf the terrible scandal when he was pastor of “the Tremont Temple, about twenty yeara ago. His father was a Baptist winister in Rockland, Me., so preaching came easy to the -youth, whose propensity for women was first noticed when he was 13 years old, his tuitial scandalous venture being with a girl a year or two older than himselt, who afterwards mar- ried a resident of Rutland, Vt., and in 1857 was found with KaWoch ata house in Cambridge. His. history is one of indiscretion and animal passion throughout, but nis passions appear to have been inherited, for his father: had toleave Rockland suddenly owing to tov great familiarity with female sisters of his flock, and went to California, where he died six -or eight years ago. Isaac's brilliant talents ; SECURED HIM LENIENCY in. the Baptist College in Waterville, Me. _Where his indiscretion. onght to bave procured bis dismissal, but be was effpelled at last, and, seeking refuge with one of his father’s deacons, told him such a plausible story that he was put into his ‘father’s’ pulpit, and given a chance to redeem the family- name. He’ became popular as a preacher, bat his fondness for the opposite sex ruined him again, his vic- tim being the wife of the old deacon who had be- frieaded him. His sanctimonious air, plausi- “bility, and smoothness of speech appeased the wrath of the community, and he left Rock- land for Boston . armed with “-letters of ixffoanetion and . recommendation to the Baptist bretheren here. At that time -Tremont Temple was in want of a pastor, and his version of the story why he left Rockland was. 3 * ACCEPTED BY THE DEACONS.

Enecial Dispatch ts The Tribune Lxeavenwonrts, Kas., Aug. 23.—The Rev. L 8. Kalloch came to this city from Boston after the War, and immediately became prominent. For atime he wass minister at Lawrence, and his chorch was always crowded. After that he went into politics, and was successively a candi- date for member of Congress aud United States Senator. Failing in his political aspirations, he went into the hotel business in Lawrence, and after some time changed his business and opened a stock farm. He carried it on for two or three years, attending all the fairs, and was recognized as - . A SPORTING CHARACTER. He ther attended a religions meeting, gave his experience, became converted, and reccived 3 call from the First Baptist Charch of this cl which he accepted. at a salary of $2,000 per-an- num. The first night he preached the vast edi- fice (one of the largest in the city) was tilled to overflowing, and the streets were crowded. He immediately became popular, and was avery enccesssul Baptist minister. The people of bis church had the utmost faith in bim, but not so the doubting outsiders. They did not believe that - ALLOCH’s CONVERSION WAS REAL. But stilt they loved to hear bim talk. Within twelve months he received a call from tne San Francisco Baptist Church, which he accepted. in appearance, Kalloch-was tall and handsomely férmed, bright, laughing eyes, frank, open face, and most pleasing countenauce. While immor- ality and too intimate acquaintance with differ- ent ladies was rumored about in Kansas, noth- ing definite was ever charged. In conversation he was very pleasing, and captivated all on the rostruin. But he . COULD BE VERY BITTER when the occasion offered. In politics here he was an extreme Radical Republican. Thefirst news received hége was by Tux TRIBUNE corre- spordent, and it rapidly spread, crcating consid- erable excitement. There is a feeling of sympa- thy with Mr. Kalloch. £ SYMPATHY FOR KALLOCH.

Some of the manu- facturers state that the only alternative of clos- ing the factories will be another reduction of 10 per cent in wages.” GERMAN NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE SULTAN— BERESFORD DECORATED. By Cable to Cmetnnatl Enqutrer, -Lonpos, Aug. 22.—A’ rumor, which.cannot he traced to aus authoritative source, is afloat that at the last meeting of the Cabinet Lord Salisbury announced that Germany was nego- tiating with the Porte for the purchase of the Island of Rhodes.

GRANT. . ‘BIS JAPANESE TOUR. * Yoxouama, July 29.—Grant’s entertainment continues chiefly to occupy the public attention. Since last accounts he has visited various col- leges, pronouncing the cadets/ of: the military school as promising a body as any similar seen by him in Europe; witnessed the annual cere- mony of opening the principal river of Tokio, which. consisted of a brilliant’ nicht congreza- tion of illuminated boats, and was the most successfal of all displays ‘in his hodor. A theatrical performance was specially prepared. July 17,-Gen.-Grant and: party went to the shrines of Iycyash, founder’ of the great Tokugawa family, at Nikko, 2 -famous und sacred resort, 100 miles in the interior. They will return early in August. a‘ The future movements are undetermined, but it is supposed that Grant will visit the Hakone Mountains and paths; Fujiyama, Japar’s high- - est mountain; Hamskura, the ancient Capital, and sail for home about the end of August. ‘A still more elaborate’ entertainment, an his- torical tournament, awaits him on his returo irom the country. ‘ 1 Gen, Grant finds himself burdened with unex- pected questions of Eastern policy. During his visit in North China both Prince Kung and Viceroy Lihung Chang laid before him their side of the Loo Choo controversy, asking him to use his influence with Japan to prevent a serious: misunderstanding between the two Empires. Grant is believed to have replied that the other side would doubtless be eynally strong wheu heard, and, though the rupture, would: be 1a- mented by all observers, he did not see bis right tointerferd. The Japauese authorities, bearing this, have taken great pains to prepare docu- mentary vindication of their claim, which has been submitted for Graut’s inspection by the Cabinet Minister during, the holiday sojourn at Nikko. This:appearance of overanxicty does not comniend itself strongly to spectators gen- erally, Japan’s supremacy over Loo Choo being so plainly defined and thoroughly established as to need no stiperfluous demonstration, but the’ circumstances are imtoresting as showing the weight attached to Grant’s favorable view by both Governments. : ‘ =, THE .ORIENT.: A CHINA.

A full account of the catastrophe shows. that Dr. Mosely had been complaining of the restrafot of the rope throughout the excursion, and had with difficulty. been persuaded from releasing himself sooner. Ata polnt on the descent distant about twenty minutes’ walk from the but, the rope was taken off Dr. Mosely shortly afterward, refusing the guide’s proflered held, endeavored to vault over a projecting rock, stumbled and fell into the snow beneath, dowo which he slioped on his back, almost suceecding in stopping himself. with his eloows.

Ae bad not'the slightest idea of how much of the first consolidated mortgage was actually re- ceived by the Erle Railroxd Company; can’t tell, how much of the proceeds were used in con- structing the Erie; the condition of the road between 1874 and 1875 was altered very little. ; Counsel r(laterrupting)\—And yet you ad- vanced on ‘the C., C., C. & I, money for the ac- count of McHenry? . Jewett—Yes, that was easily accounted for. At that time Lhad no idea McHenry had any evil designs upon Erie. Travers & Co. bad stock, and's notice came that the stock would be sold unless the money borrowed upon it was repaid. The money was advanced in order to -help McHenry and: protect ourselves. I was not then, nor am I now, aware of the existence of astatute precluding our holding stock in an- other corporation. 1do not consider his trans- action as coming, within such provision. The first advance was made before my connection with the road. Mr. Barlow acted as agent of McHenry at the time, and was also Director of the Erle and one of its counsel. This is now the subject-matter of the litigation between Bishofsheim, ‘Goldschmidt, and the London Banking Association -and this raflroad, and I submit to,this Committee whether this matter should be gone into here. 2 ‘The Chairman stated that the purpose of the Committee was only to ascertain whether the proceeds of these $25,000,000 bonds had been re- ceived by the Company, and if not, such a state of affairs should be guarded against in: future legislation. ‘Mr. Jewett stated that he also thought there should be.such alaw. The Company has never | realized the: fall value -of these bonds. The Company is now seeking to recover these pro- ceeds, and parties are setting up divers defenses. Is the Committee to get statements here’ to be used against Erie at the trial of those cases? If the Committee would come to his office he would. -gubmit all books and accounts, but he “objected to this mode of inquiry. Mr. Jewett was satis-_ tled nelthér Barlow nor Watson Countenanced the projet of McHenry, and were in no sense parties thereto. ‘Mr. Jewett continued that the bonded debt. was not incraased $1 durlug bis administration. He had noticed that the construction account was largely enbanced by the stock issued for improper purposes, though .he did uot Know it as a fact. Erie. ‘The settlement with’ Gould was during -Jowett?s2connection, It but 10, 20, or 30 ver cent of the bonds or stock sold was realized by the Companr, .the balance would be a charge upon the.Company, aud its capital would.be correspondingly increased. - ‘ 1, do not think it probable that the increase of the’ capital ‘to the extent of the stock issued by Gould should properly be charged to the con-. struction account; yet it-must go to the capital or construction account, ‘here is no other ac~ count to‘wnich it canbe charged.” It cannot be charged to the profit-and-loss account, as that account extinguishes all items charged to it, / LIVE*STOCK WAR. |” ~* “\gpecta) Dispatch to’ The Tridime. Osama, Neb., Aug. 93—A crisis bas been reached in ‘the freight war which bas been raz- ing for about two weeks or more between the Union Pacific and: Burlington & Missouri Rail- roads. Eversince the war began, the Chicago & ‘Northwestern and Chicago & Rock-Islind Rail- roads have been .earrying an immense lot of stock, received from ‘the Unton Paelfle at give: ‘away rates, and tnis transportation has caused a serious loss to the two. lowa roads mentioned above.. At the same time one-third of their en- tire income from this source has to be paid to the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Koad, their ‘in’ ‘the’ pool. * Against -° this ‘policy “two otter roads have been con- stantly and strennously protesting to the Union Pacific and appealing to the Chicago,Burlington & Quincy to interfere in their behalf, and act as arbitrators in the matter.” It fs also reported on good authority that Sidney Dillon,has vigorous- ly kicked against the obstinate policy of Gen- eral Freight Agent Vining, uf the Union Pacific, and has msde repeated efforts to put a atop to it, A. V,Smith, General Traffic Manager of the Chicago, Barl ington & Quincy Railroad, arrived here to-day from Chicago to endeavor to bring about some compromise in behalf of the other - two -Jowa roads, While the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy is real- ly making a good deal of money by this operation, receiving pay for work not performed, they certainly-show their disposi- tion to aid their partners in the pool to cet out of the dilemma in which this freight war has placed them, On the other hand the Bgrline- ton & Missouri managers say that they are satis- fied with).the way the war ts soing on, und sre not disposed to vield unless ali that they have demanded heretofore froin the Union Pacific with reference to getting a’suare and pay therc- for. of the live-stoclr’ transportation is :con- ceded. . This ‘short ‘war. “has already ¢ntailed upon the Union Pacific an immense de- crease in. their receipts, aud it threateas to cut down their income still further this fall, not only on stock ‘stipment, but also on “lumber, grain, and other products between Omaha aut Kearney, ._ « area aie a Manager “Smith will. -propably remain in Omaha a day or two longer. . As yet there is no sign of a backdown on tue part of the‘ Burling- ton & Missouri, who seem to stand firm.” It is geverally thought that the Union Pacific is do- ing all in its power sto, breait the pool, and, if this is so, this will explaiyr the _stadborn posi- tion of General Freignt-Ageat Vining. THE EAST-BOUND POOL FROM 5T. LOUIS.
