Now Efghty-Three Years O14 and Pays His Respects to Our Readers. There are few hotel proprietors so popular every- where, and who can give such experiences as the well-known Richard W. Adams, who at present re- sides at 78 Myrtle street, Boston, Mass. For thirty-three years he has been identified with our best hotels, having been proprietor of the Pa- vilion Hotel, Wolfboro, N. H.; the American Ho tel, Worcester, and the Addison Hotel, Middleboro. He is @ most approachable and affable gentleman, and be gave the writer many reminiscences of bis active hotel lite. “You sce I am eighty-three years old and have seen long rervice in hotel life,” he said in the course of conversation, “and while I am perfectly well and strong now, I was formerly a great suf- ferer. “Why, for more than twenty years I suffered from the greatest debility. I was weak, tired, languid, broken down in health from overwork, care and anxiety. I was unable to sleep, was ex- tremely nervous, and, in fact, was a complete phy- sical wreck. “I was induced to take Dr. Greene's Nervura “Good and nerve remedy. hearing it everywhere rec- ¢ROPRIETOR RICHARD W.

At the home of Miss Mamie Caesar on Mth street there was a pleasant Halloween party, with all the usual incidentals—mu- sic, games, dancing and refreshments. Some of those present were Miss Judge, Miss Kate Caesar, Miss Anderson, Miss Rose Cassin, Miss Phenie Caesar, Miss May Andrews, Mr. Boyce, Mr. McQuade, Mr. Daley, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Latimer, Mr. Judge of New York and Mr. Gormley of Boston. Sharps Pientifual. The police are being kept busy looking out for thieves,burglars and sharpers. So many have visited Georgetown in the past week that the people have begun to suspect their friends. Within five days a mysterious fire has taken place, two houses on Wesley Heights been burglarized, Mr. Smith of the Emrich Beef Company been “beaten” out of clothes and money, several reputable citizens vic- timized on an alleged charity racket and various other snide games played. A Bazaar. For the benefit of St. Mary’s Guild, one of the worthiest of West End charities, a ba- zaar will be held tonight in the old Dodge mansion, corner of Congress and Q streets. The members of the Guild have been doing zealous work of late in the good cause, and have been assured that success will crown this latest effort. A Lecture. Mr. John D. McPherson, the well-known lawyer, delivered a lecture last night at Christ Church, in the nature of an unfavor- able criticism on Renan‘'s Life of Christ. It was an able effort and fully appreciated. The church was crowded. Mr. McPherson has several times given the parishioners of Christ Church the bene- fit of his own ideas, and those acquired through research on subjects of an interest- ing kind. Danger of Contagion. Some residents in the neighborhood of the “twenty buildings” claim that their health is in danger by the existence of several olf mattresses in one of the back yards, on which two persons died of a contagious dis- ease. The Grace and Christ Church Trouble The Rev. Dr. Albert R. Stuart, rector of Christ and late rector of Grace Church, has spoken publicly of the differences existing between the two houses of worship, and his. hearers have drawn their own conclusions: as to what prompted the tendering of his resignation as rector of the latter. From the tone of his remarks it was clearly seen that the manner in which the Grace rectory had acted in regard to the $2,000 left them by the will of Miss Gough had offended him. The doctor thought that Christ Church being the mother church should control it and moved at a meeting that a committee of two be appointed from Grace and two from Christ, who together with himself should have sole charge of the disposition of the fund. As the doctor, under this arrangement, could always throw the vote in favor of his own church, the Grace vestrymen thought that the passage of such @ motion would be practically a giving up of the money. They, therefore, objected strenuously. When the doctor's motion did not go through he tendered his resignation as rec- tor of the smaller church and it was im- mediately accepted. Dr. Howells, the as- sistant, was requested by the vestry to act temporarily in Dr. Stuart’s stead. He did so and gave such satisfaction that on the day Mr. Stuart's resignation went into effect he was invited to assume the duties of rector. Previous to that Grace Church had been dependent upon Christ Church and had practically no say in its own man- egement. Dr. Stuart's action aroused the Crace Church members and they determined to cut loose from the larger one and stand in- dependently The $2,000 was asked for, 2s was also another large sum placed in the hands of Christ Church years ago by the parishioners of St. John’s to hold for the benefit of the proposed Grace parsonage. It is understood that neither of these re- quests has been complied with. Dr. Stuart intimated in recent remarks from the pulpit: that if it had not been for him Miss Gough would never have left Grace Churen ary money. He ted as gracefully as possible that he had asked her in her last {illness to do so. The parishioners of Grace say that they believe Miss Gough's action was the outcome of the promptings of her own feel- ing toward the Church, as she had formerly taken a lively interest in it. At one time she taught Sunday school there. THE FINAL VOTE. How Representatives Are Recorded om the Silver Bill.

Last evening he came to me and asked to be sent down. He said he could not get work and if not sent down he would get to stealing.” “How many times have you been arrested and sent to jail?” “*Deed, I don’t know,” was his response. “So many times, I suppose, that you can't count them?" “Yes, sir.” “You had better go down for a month this time.”” Matthew Quigley, drink, was next tried. “Not guilty of that,” was his plea when he heard the clerk say vagrancy. “I never begged in my life,” he added. Judge Kimball explained to him that drunkenness was the charge. Policeman Brady told of the prisoner's unhappy home and of his continued use of intoxicants. Matthew declared that he was not drunk last night nor had he been drunk since his son _ broke his jaw. “But you were drunk yesterday?” “Mr. Kimball, judge, your honor,” said the prisoner,“‘I worked all day, so I did,and didn’t stop till 8 o'clock.” “I think your wife has put up with you a long time,” remarked the court. “You don’t know my wife,” said Matthew. “It’s all prejudy on her part and she’s al. ways running after the police to arrest me. “But you will not stop drinking and she éan do nothing else.” 1 Ped Mr. Kimball, she drinks more than “Then she must drink an awful sight of whisky. Jus Kimball explained to the prisoner that he would take his personal bonds and let him go with the understanding that the first time the officer caught him drunk he would go down for three months. "m satisfied with tha’ sald Quigley, “if you won't take my wife's word for it. If you are going to take her word for it I wouldn't be out one day.” “Then you will have to go down for ten days.” Howard Washburn was the third of a trio of vagrants tried. He is @ stranger in the city and his appearance in court was the re- sult of a request that he be sent down. ooo is your home?” the judge asked im.

MRS. ROOSEVELT’S PERIL. The Wife of the New American Secre- tary at London Nearly Died. Much sympathy was aroused and no It- tle agitation in the American colony in Lon- don yesterday afternoon by a report that Mrs. Roosevelt, wife of the newly appoint- ed first secretary of the American embassy, was dangerously ill at her husband’s coun- try residence, Heathfield, at Ascot, from an overdose of laudanum, taken by mistake to alleviate extreme pain. Inquiry made by the correspondent late last night, however, brought information that, while Mrs. Roosevelt was not out of danger at 10 o’clock, Dr. McLaggen of Lon- don,who had been hastily summoned, hoped that the patient would respond to the rem- edies administered. Mrs. Roosevelt had been quite ill for sey- eral days. She was Miss Helen Astor, sec- ond daughter of the late John Jacob Astor. Her eldest sister was Mrs. Van Alen, and a Ambassador Bayard and Mr. White. Mr. Thomas F. Bayard, United States ambassador, a London dispatch says, was interviewed last evening as to the reports mentioned in the Chronicle that he and Henry White were on bad terms. Mr. Bayard denied that his relations with Mr. White had become so strained that Mr. White’s retirement was considered neces- sary. He justified Mr. Roosevelt's appoint- ment as a most natural one. He said Mr. Roosevelt was a conspicuous man of diplo- matic experience and always had been iden- tified with the democratic party. Mr. Roosevelt denied positively last even- ing that he gave $10,000 to the Cleveland campaign fund in 1892. He described the story to that effect as “perfect nonsense.” ——+o+—___ Peculiar Law Against Bribery.

He Made a Savage Assault on a Police Captain. Police Captain O'Connor of New York was visited early yesterday morning by Gustav Voiz, scenic artist at Proctor’s 24 Street Theater, where he lives with his wife and family. The caller was nervous and excited, and the cause of it all was a pos- tal card which he placed with trembling fingers before the captain. “There, cap- tain,” said he, “just take a glance at that. Personally I don’t care a rap about it”— and he tried to look unconcerned—‘‘but my wife is in a terrible state of fright.” The card read: “I am starving. I want to know if you will pay me the money you have owed me so long or not? If you wish to pay, send it. I don’t want to be fooled any longer. Re- member, it is ‘crank’s’ day and also that I have been in Chicago. 1 give you until Saturday or join my——” tere the communication ended abruptly in @ roughiy drawn death’s head. Ihe initials G. 4. and the address, No. 23 ave- nue B, were at the bottom of the card. ‘rhe writer was George Bock, a middie aged German, formerly a wealthy business man at Portland, Ore., where nine years ago Valz was in his employ. On coming to New York Vols lost sight of his old employer for years, and was sur- prised early last summer to receive a call trom him at Proctor’s Theater. The once prosperous Bock was wild-eyed and seedy. He talked incoherentiy of a mythical debt which he proposed to collect from Vols at any cost. “Now I don’t want to harm you,” said he, “but that money must be paid at once, Volz, or there will be serious trouble.’ Realizing that he had a “ " to deal with, but making the common mistake of thinking him harmless, the painter got rid of him, with a request to call again. It was a fatal request, for since then Bock’s unkempt presence has been a fixture in the neighborhood of the theater. Since the tragedy which cost Chicago her mayor Bock’s persistent demands for pay- ment have taken on a threatening tone. When his sinister postal card message was delivered at the theater yesterday morning the painter's wife was naturally the first to read it. She promptly became hysterical, and a physician was summoned, and in the midst of the hubbub Volz hurried to the West 30th street station. Capt. O'Connor objects to “‘cranks.” Like every other good policeman, he is as sus- Picious of a “crank” as of a criminal. Sum- moning Detectives Lang and Sullivan, he placed the threatening postal card in their hands, saying: “I want this man Bock captured before sundown. I don’t propose to let a ‘crank’ roam around my precinct. The mildest of them is as dangerous as a thug.” The detectives found a stable at the ad- dress given in the postal card, and learned from persons in the neighborhood of a wild looking German who occasionaily slept on the premises. While making inquiries in a saloon adjoining the stable Bock himself walked in for a pint of beer. Representing themselves as Volz’s friends, sent by him to make the desired payment, the detectives lured the desperate ¢‘crank” out of the saloon. Unsuspiciously the insane German ac- companied the detectives directly into the station, where Capt. O'Connor, in full uniform, sat behind the desk. Bock at the sight came to a galt in the center of the station house. if cheeks grew scarlet, the veins rose like whip- cords on his neck and tempies. ‘So I’ve been tricked, have I?” he yelled. “Then—you with your gold lace and brass buttons—I’ll kill_yor Before a hand could be raised in inter- ference the frenzied man sprang it at the captain. In an instant he had hurled himself half over the high desk, clutching as he did so a keen-pointed spike file—as deadly a weapon as the most desperate could wish for. Capt. O'Connor braced himself to meet the blow that seemed inevitable. But just as the would-be murderer made a clutch at the officer’s throat Detectives Sullivan and Lang sprang upon him. instant, so lightning It was all done in an like in rapidity were the “crank’s” move- ments. Clutched by the two detecttves, Bock's frenzy burst all bounds, He fought like a madman, whirling his determined assailants—both powerful men—about ‘fke children. The doorman’s shout rang through the station, the reserves rushed down stairs, and in less time than it takes to tell it the frenzied “crank” was a pris- oner. Nothing is known of the man beyond the details given by Mr. Volz. Capt. O'Connor was the recipient of many congratulations last night upon his lucky escape. —___+e-+_____. Geo. H.

From the Boston Herald. Three bells are a signal for the motor- man to stop between stations, or as soon as the signal is given. One bell tells him to make a halt at the next station; three bells command him to apply the brakes and bring the car to a standstill immediately. There was an occasion a day or two ago when I observed a very effective use of the three bells. It was late at night, on the outward trip of the Grove Hall car. Two men got aboard with a considerable load of down- town rum; both carried cigars, one of which, half smoked, had gone out, while the other was burning lige a fusee. I never smelled a viler weed, nor a more inflamma- ble one. Its odor was as if somebody had broken a vial of sulphuric ether in the car, and had then lighted a bonfire of rubbish to kill the fumes. The fellow who had this nasty thing tried to conceal it, but the —e ——y in clouds from poodle ara of his overcoat pocket, and som: the passengers thought he had set himself afire. He was just drunk enough to do it, and to consider it great fun. The conductor, a strippling of a youth,col- lected the men’s fares without saying a word about the cigar. I suppose he was giving it a reasonable amount of time to die out. It wasn’t that kind of a cigar, however; indeed, it seemed to burn more fiercely every minute, and soon the whole car was scented with its stifling vapor. A lady and her escort entered the car, and then the conductor delayed no longer. Coming in and approaching the possessor of the weed, he said, in a determined voice ee ysique: eorhrow away that cigar!” That was all he said, but he looked hard at the fellow and put his hand on the bell cord. The fellow looked hard at him in re- turn and hesitated. strippling con- “Throw that cigar!” the ductor repeated, pointing to the front door, near which the offending passenger was seated. “Why don’t you throw me out?” ventured the man of smoke. Ding! Ding! Din; The three bells were sounded quick and sharp. In a second the motorman had turned off the electric current and jammed’ the brakes hard down. The conductor in two strides step) to the front door and threw it open. e car stopped short, as if it had collided with something. “Now throw that cigar outside,” ex- claimed the young man in the West End uniform, and simultaneously he laid his hand on the passenger's shoulder. The fellow made no more remonstrance, but tossed the stinking fusee through the open doorway. In the movement his elbow came in contact with another passenger, and he meekly said: “Excuse me!” Tt was the three bells that tamed him. 0 LYNCHED AN OUTLAW. Notorious Abe Redmond Dies at the Hands of a Mob. A special from Drake’s Branch, Char- lotte county, Virginia, says: Notorious Abe Redmond, the worst man that ever lived in Charlotte county, came to his death last night at the hands of a mob. He was arrested yesterday at daybreak by an officer and a dozen assistants, which ‘was one of the few times he was ever cap- tured without trouble. It being night, Constable Crutcher was ordered to take the prisoner to his house, which was on the way to the court house, under a guaré of three men. They arrived at Crutcher’s house without any sign of disturbance. About 11 o'clock two of the guards were asleep and one on duty, when the door was broken in with a crash and the men were covered with guns and pistols.
