2 THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C., SATURDAY, i ee CITY AND DISTRICT. BEFRIENDED BY JEFF DAVIS. A Man whe Helds the ex-President of the Confederacy in Grateful Memory. ‘WOW MZ CAME TO BE APPOINTED 4 WATCHMAN AT THE CAPITOL THROUGH MR DAVIR’ INPLUENCE—TEE STORY OF 4 LACE HANDERECHIRF—THE SOUTHEEN ‘LEADER AS SEBN BY ONE WHOM HE AIDED. ‘Mr. John W. Smith. an old resident of Washing- ton, chatting with a @ran reporter the other day, remarked: “I was the first watchman appointed on the extension of the Capitol, and it was through ‘the instrumentanty of Jeff Davis” The reporter expressed some interest as to how he came to know Jeff Davis, and Mr. Smith said: “The way that Ieame to secure the position s somewhat curious, It was upon a winter night, and the last cent in my possession had been expended in ob- taining some medicine for my child, who was ill With croup. as Iwas walking along my foot struck something soft, and, picking 1t up, I discov- it to bea lady's handkerchief. Stuffing tt my pocket I walked on untill came to a shop fan old friend of mine, and, going in, pulled out handkerchief, and found it to be of due texture Werkmansnip, Not yet fully appreciating its togo tome penniless, I offered © quarter, | He Said, “No, you had better take it Dot wantit, I was very thankful after- wever, that I did not sell it, as it was Worth $50. Upon reaching home my wife and I inspected it, and found im the corner the words ‘Mrs. Jefferson Davis.” It ap) that Mrs. ‘Davis ‘and her husband resided in the house ad- the place where I was doing Dusiness. ‘One of my daughters, being sent in with the hand- Kerchief the following morning, was met at the pee 5 Ff there two hours. Upon leaving she said to me: Sway dont you get a place under the Govern- ment? You Will never be able to raise all these children.” I told her that I had tried, aud that one had to get a man shoved out to get one in, and for this reason I would not accept a position. ‘Said abe: ‘What Kind of a place do you want, Mr. Smith?” and I told her thatif I could get a position im the Treasury I could have every other day off, and could work at my trade. Before going suc we the child who brought the handkerchief stiver dollars, and a few hours later ‘BROUGHT ME AN APFOINTMENT as watchman in the Treasury Department. I de sire to say right here that Jef Davis was the best friend I ever had, and in the darkest hour that I ever experienced. She handed me the appotnt- ment personally, and smuilingly told me ‘to come and see Jeff.” A’ short tme previous to the elec~ on of General Taylor I was conversing with Mr. Davis, In bis room, when he said, ‘Smith, what 13 the feeling about General Taylor's getting the nomination,” and I told hit Chat trom the dritt of the taik in fhe city I thought Taylor Would yet the nomination. ‘And if he gets the notaipation,” he Tejotned, the will be elected. Make yourseif per- feotly easy, and If you are turned out come vo me and 1 will inake a place for you.” And it was not @ month before I was turned out, and I went to Dim and told him tuat I was out.” ‘Thereupon he Went to the Commissioner of Public Buildings | and asked Dim if he wanted any more help. ‘The Commissioner, who wasa whlg, repiied that be id, and that he bad to have twoadiitiona! men on the ‘extension.’ “But,” says he, ‘coivuel, if you ‘want a man put on I will put one on cor you now.’ Davis replied that he did not want to wave any turned out, and forthwith went to the e and drew up a resolution te appoint two additional Watchinen om the extension of the Capliol. ‘Through the sole efforts of Davis that resolution was by the Senate and House linmediately. He then addressed mo a letter eocarry to.M ‘Mudd, Commissioner of Pubiic Buildings (whou i Knew}. As soon as reached the Comiuissioner’s | ‘OMice Mudd put the questi jow did you get Acquainted with Col Davist tie ts one of the best mea on God's earth.’ And then I recited the affair of the handkerebiet, I was under Mr. Davis’ care as long as he stayed in the Senate, and ‘When he went South I lost my best friend. ‘A CIVIL-SERVICE IDEA. “At one time two of the big gunsof the demo- cratic party at that time went to see Col. Davis to have me turned out. Well, the messenger that waited on Davis was a particular friead of mine, and accidentally overheard the conversation that THE PROGRAM OF THE CONGRESs, | Wm. 8.

The practical sale of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad ts now an accomplished fact. A long conference of capitalists was held yesterday at the office of Drexel, Morgan & Co., in New York, and about 6 o'clock last evening the following an- mouncement was made: “A preliminary contract has been executed to- ay between the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Co., Baring Bros. & Co., and Brown, Shipley & Coy ‘London, and thelr allied houses on this side. This Contract provides for the negotlation of $5,000,000 B. and O. consolidated fives, $5,000,000 B. and ©. Preferred stock, for the purpose of paying off the entire floating debt of the eompany and placing it on @ sound financial basis. The conditions are as follows: “First.

Morgan, and the deal was carried through by Drexel, Morgan £00, Edward Lauterback gave « legal opinion esterday upon tie question Whether the stering loan made vy tne B. and . Railroad covered the telegraph system of the company. He decided that the telegraph lines were from ail liens, and on revelving this opinion the agreement, in the ngture of a preliminary contract, was exéouted. ‘The parties to che contract are the Bailimore and Ohio Railroad Company and a syndicate composed Of J. 8, Morgan & Co., Baring Bros & Co., and Brown, Shipicy & Co., of London; Drexel, Morgan « Pog Kader Peabody & Co,, and Brow Bros. & Co, Ot New York, and Drexel & Co., of Philadel- phia. ‘The most important potnt in'the contract Provides that the management of the company Shali be placed in competent bands satisiactory \ the syndicate. Satisfactory contracts are also to be made with the Pennsylvania and Reading Raliroads on all business worth of Phitadelphise and with ali the other trunk lnes entering New York, by which all antagonism will be removed and insure the permanent working of tne Balti- more and Ouio in harmony with other trank lines. In addition to these contracts, the lines in process ‘of construction from Philadelphia to New York will be suspended and the work on Staten Island stopped. In consideration of these contracts be- ing signed and with the control in their hands, the syndicate agrees to relieve the raliroad frou its present embarrassment by providing $10,000, 000 with which to take up the floating v floating debt as it stands amounts to $7,000,000, mostly in the shape of certificates of indebLedin Scrip, and notes, Of Lbis amount $4,000,000 1s sal to have matured on the first tnstani, and was the chief factor in bringing about the present resuit, ‘THE OTHER BALTIMORE AND OWIO PROPERTIES.

A.J. Caswatt, vice- resident of the Pennsylvania Kaliroad, and John King, Of the Erie road, are menuoned as Mr. Gar- reU'S possible successors. Mr. King would be more acceptable to the people of Baltimore andthe Murylaud stockholder. THE IVES NEGOTIATIONS. ‘The attempted Ives deal 1s naturally much taiked about In connection with the sale, and iast night Mr. Algernon. Sullivan, counsel for assignee Cromwell, of H. 8. Ives & Co., sald: “Rumors bad Appeared in the dally papers ‘that Mr. Garret was making negotiations in London to well bis B. and ©. Interests, Dut I did not attach much importance them, One reason was that I was creditably ‘formed that One of Ube prominent members of 1 syndicate now formed had expressed the opinion that the Ives contract Was an existing and pecuanent cious Upon Mr. Garrett's proprietary {oterest.
