. THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 17, 1887. ABRITON'S VIEW OF GOTHAM. The Insolence of Wealth in the Great American Oity. THE USES TO WHICH IT IS PUT, Money Which' Was Suddenly Accu- mulated Before Its Owners Knew What to Do With It —Foreign News. An English Opinton of New York. (Copyright 1857 by James Gordon Bennett.) .LoNDON, Sept 16,—(New York Herald Cable--|Speclal to the Bee.]—There I8 noth- ing which seems more remarkable to the Anglo-American than the change which has taken place during the last few years in the British population and press interest in United States affairs, Where formerly a few lines now and then were gazetted on that subject, scarcely a day passes now with- out the publication of some eal on American topics. This 1s even extending to the provincial Journals. This change was recently sccen- trated by a dally story in the Times, three columns at one publication, of lmpressions ofan English traveler in the states. Itis well understood that the writer is John Hol- lingshead, who, when in New York, was in- terviewed by the lerald. Seven chapters have been devoted o New York city, which furnishes the occasion for a long editorial in the Times. From this I make the following extracts, which will prove interesting to the Herald's readers THE INSOLENCE OF WEALTH, “Nothing is more amazing to a stranger in New York or to a reader of his experiences than the apparent Insolence of wealth. In Itself there is uo impropriety in the expendi- ture, which issimply on ascale with the spender’s means, but It is so contrary to English temper that the gigantic brown stone palaces on Fifth avenue and even the lavishness of outlay on parks and municipal bulldings, such as town halls, causes at the beginning astonishment like a shock, In Enetand wealth swiftly accumulated is wont to dissemble and assume an apologetic de- meanor, or it is startled into revealing itself, Iunon1 Americans, and especlally at New ork, it courts and com) remark, New ‘ork luxury I8 a safe attribute to the public % the streets with marble and lav- {shing thousands of dollars on flowers at balls, A Aew York millionaire obeys and does not uffront the popular sense of the be- coming by enveloping himself ina golden halo. He respects the local sentiment as mueb in ostentatiousness at his grave, The sculptured marbled magnificence of Green- w cemelery, which dazes the tourist, har- monizes with the fitness of things accordin| to American sentiment. Jus by thal standard the devotion of the child’s inherit- ance to the erection ofa gorgeous monu- ment 18 an act of deference to the local spirit rather than a pathetic irony. New York, as seen portrayed at the outset of an American mr. suffers by being taken out of its proper ler. 1T 18 LIKE THE PREFACE ‘which stands in front of a book and Is read first, though com Iast, Its noise and grandeurs and the riotousness of riches, starting out of the sea to deafen and aazzle the arriving voy-ger. appear torest on no foundation.

Through it flows their wealth, and It a8 made the main srrmz which brovght their affiuence into being. With all its glar- Ing faults and weaknesses, earned the right to be called America’s treasure house. By the stimnlous of its restless brain, which it has imparted to con- fiams of dominions and the population be- Ind it, from the Astors, the Stevens, the Stewarts, the Garrisons, the Jay Goulds and the Vanderbilts, proceeded ~ the impulse which has swelled the fabric of national svlendor to its stupendous dimensions, The promotors of enterprises which, ssuing chiefly from New York, have fanned Ameri- can inventiveness to fever heat and com- P in ul’t¥| years the elfect of centuries, ave individually been not all heroic. They were children of their circumstances and the circumstsnces on which and with which they worked hap- peoned to be of heroic proportions. From wotives rarely remarkable for magnanimity shey tapped the rock and golden currents flowed. 'They and their fellow-townsmen had at all events tho abllities the union needed to start it on its wondrous course. ‘They and not New York in eneral have levied their toll rather in excess on the actual and positive prolits gained through theiriniti- ative. Now York life, floating on such a flood an the Instantaneously awakened activity of acontinent let loose upon it, could not have escaped being what it 18, both in merits and vices. 1n its prosperity its fate was fto suddenly disburse hundreds of millions before it had learned inore than the simple art of making them, THE BLUNDERS IT HAS COMMITTED, nmwfobe_vand the social and artistic ec- centricities which come within the range of 8 hioliday tourist’s criticlsms, are chargeable to the inordinate hurry of American dollars to get spent before their depositories had learned how or why. OChemistry and en- Kinoering and the profession of finance are more easily revolutionized than a national sohool of architecture is created. New York does not seem to have succeeded as yetin that Athens had trained its taste before the Kflld of Asia Minor poured into its coffers. ew York came to its fortune before its taste, and its cwltivated citizens were sorrow- fully reminded of the invasion ot the right- ful “msthetic relations by rows of edihces mora extravagant than “graceful. But al- ready a loftier and more eorrect standard has be.un to operate, and New York has as yet spent no more than & sample of the wealth on whieh it way calculate as available for its embellishment. At the rate ot which both its resources and its lastes advance in conjunction with its Ppropensity for their open_display, it may be expected to become in time a gallery of state- Iy truetures if never dostined to be an ex- uiklto architsctural whole. The national reedoin from shyness and reserve which, in the dark azes of American artistic sensibil- Ity, affected the eity, has leveled many pre- tentious eyesores. —‘Ihe misfortune of Lon- don has been that the last use Lo which its m?hh'nln -unless in trade, even if then— think of'applying their savings is in its exter- nal adornment, FOR A CITIZEN OF NEW YORK Itisamong the Lirst, 1f he be too modest tolive ina palace he will not refuse his townsmen the pleasure of adiniring a minia- ture pantheon 1o which he means to repose Fhu death. 1u its outlay upon objects wore o New York has orually, though hardly more really publi ‘:w York sets an nlln'ph) tol:nulln“’ 2 owns. financial history comprises nobler han the he old manage: L, and they are of a Liiid fikeiy to be more du:m Within living wemory New York bas been enrichod with a delighiful series of parks and pleasure grounds ata fabulous gu nd the effort s not yet nearly exhausted, ew York is entitled to boast that obstacles, pocuniary aidd topographical, to the corporate oomfort and the pleasure of its people are for t incentives rather than discouragements. t has mhn:’m‘d ;nm-h rrll« fi-nn the gov- I of populous &id prosperous g ?fin towns the secret the .‘"runnh as the delicieneies of a congestion humaa life.

About 187, Lucien Auba- nel, of Jewish faith, deserted from the French army after & quarrel, in which he slapped an ofticer's face, and arrived here venniless, Clever, witty and well educated, he contributed to several Belgium newspa- vers and suddenly came prominently into notice by obtaining from Monzeignor Du- mont, a bishop 1o disgrace, important church documents, twhiech he published In the Tribune De Monz, and which excited a great sensatlon and contributed to the defeat of the elerical party at the subsequent elections. Aubanel afterwards worked at French trans- lation for the Brussels atage of the libretto “Suppes Fatinitza.” He started a short- liyed dally paper in Brussels and then went to Liege and after trouble with the law courts concerning an illegitimate child of bis, was supposed to be in London. He re- appeared in Brussels about two yewrs ago, and afterwards returned to France, Fortune was capricious towards him, but he always ap- deared to emerge somehow out of his difticul- ties. His father, now dead, occupied & high rank in the French army, which perhaps ex- plains his gaining access to the Paris war office documents.

The scene at the wreck was horrible, Seores ot pe:rla laid hlnedln: or dead amid the splintered woodwork and debris. Their shrieks and groans were heartrending, but it was impossible to release them until mecnan- ical appliances arrived. Many were taken out shockingly mnx& , some decapitated and disemboweled, Bome of the dead were only recognizable by their clothing. A curve in the line hid the express until within a short distance of the excursion train. ‘The driver has not uthnnd how he ran past the dlmsor ulEnaln.

Miss Richards, who had hidden in a closet when the tramp entered. now emerged and discovered the theft and at once thought she might be suspected of 1t.

To the Editor of the BEE: At the ses- sion of the inter-state commerce commis- sion held on Wednesday last at Minne- apolis, one of the largest mercantile dele- gations ever assembled in the west were given tha opportunity of entering their protests against the abolition of the car- load rate, so earnestly petitioned for by nearly three hundred of the jobbers of New York. Representatives from the promiuent cities and towns in Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Dakota, Wisconsin, Micnigan, Illinois and Iowa were pres- ent, and through their selected delegates offered unanswerable arguments in favor of u continuance of tho concessions granted to the railroad companies on freights shipped in carload lots. That dis- tributing centers are demanded by the ever swelling tide of western induatries was clearly set forth, whilst the impossi- bility of sustaining such centers without the assistance rendered the jobbing in- terest by the carload rate was demon- strated in forcible terms. Wehave every reason to think from the numbers, the influence, and the intense earnestness dis- played by the entire delegation that a asting impression was made upon the national commission, but assuming such to be the result, it behooves our mer- chants to continne a watchful surveil- lance over the situation and be ready once more to assume the defensive at the hearing which is sct for the October muetinfi of the commission in Washing- ton, ., C. Every effort doubt- less will be made by New York and those who sympathize with her to seriously injure the distributing cen- tres of the far west. Independently of the largely increased cost to the ultimate consumer, when the effect on the jobbins interests of our city of the withdrawal o the oar load rate is estimated, it will readily be seen the question 1s one of the most vital importance to our community. Let our board of trade see to it that we are properly represented at Washington even if it should be necessary to enlist the best legal talent in our behalf.

Heimmediately inves tigated the matter and found a man trying to gain an entrance to the shop by a rear door, The bnrglar was taken completely by surprise, and after a little resistance he allowed himself to be ar- rested. The officer took him down Cum- ings street. At Twenty-third streot the lylriloner commenced to show fight. e threw the officer in the grass, and a terrible nru‘z(.le ensued. The oflicer was almost choked by the strong grasp of the burglar's fingers on his throat, ~ In th the officer's club was broken, and as a last_resort he drew his revolver. This did not intimidate the burglar, and in consequence the officer fired the gun and the bullet hit the man on the temple, just above the left eye. The burglar then gave in, and he lay in the Fuu a8 if he was dead. The noise of the shot from the revolver aroused the neighbors, and soon a large throng gathered about the wounded man. The patrol wn‘z&m was called, and the prisoner was taken to the police station. . City Physician Ralfe cx- amined the man and found shat his in- jury was only a severe scalp wound. It was also found that the priaoner was rlmnlly under the influence of liquor. e ave his name as J. E. Russell, and said that he is a tafler by oc- cupation. He 18 about twenty-five yoars old, and is dressed ?ulu neatly; has a sandy mustache, and is six feet tall, lack- ing two inches. Hia injuries were not serious enough to need hospital care, and in consequence he was kept on a cot at the station. AMUSEMENTS, Miss Prescott Entertains an Andience in As You Like It. Miss Prescott appeared last night at the Boyd as Rosalind, in ‘‘As You Like It.* The character is one not new to our people. It has been renaered by most worthy exemplars, with whem, however, it may truthfully be said, Miss Prescott very favorably compares. She endows the character with maidenly modesty and impulsiveness, and most happily gives expression to the qnaint conoceits, the precocious wisdom, the banter and merry gibes of the love-lorn maid, mask- ing in the guise of the youthful shepherd. Her playfulness, though the result of art simulating nature, was attractive, while her illustration of the conflicting emo-~ tions which take possession of her in her mask with Orlando, revealed deeper and more valuable gift of genius with which this lady seems endowed. Miss Prescott, however, was alone in the cast. Nobody cared whether her support appeared or not. Kven the Orlando of Mr. McLean was scarcely worthy toleration. The other perform- ers ought to be shelved immediately. Miss Prescott cannot carry such a load. It would be too much to do for a star well established in the lines now assumed by Miss Prescott. Miss Prescott will appear this after- noon in “‘Ingomar,” and cortainly enter- tain her andience. To-night, the plays of the ‘‘Merchant of Venice’’ and “l?ul,h- arine and Petruchio” will be presented. The Chemical Breaks Down, The fire devartment was called out shortly after 4 o'clock yesterday after- noon by a blaze in a barn on Binney street, near Twenty-first street, owned by Alvbert Rood. The structure was en- tirely consumed. A loss of $500 is esti- mated, which is covered by msurance, Children and matches are the elements that cuused the fire. As the chemical engine left the house on Harney street it broke down through the carelessness of the driver, who drove over the side of the apron leading from the house to the streot. The apparatus was dragged a short distance when the left rear wheel fell to pieces. The firemen were tumbled out, but without injury. An Outrageous Assaule. Last evening as Miss Kitty Davis, of No. 816 South Fifteenth streot, and a young lady friend were passing down Farnam street a drunken brute named Ole Johnson staggered against them, al- most knocking them from the sidewalk. 1nstead of apologizing he drew back his fist and struck Miss Kitty two or three blows in the face. Policeman Ryan wit- nessed the disgraceful assault and hur- ried Johnson off to the lock-up. Miss Davis was hysterieal with fright and pain but escaped serious injury. The Board's New Rooms, . ™ Max Meyer, vresident of the board of trade, stated to a BEE reporter last even- ing that the new rooms of the board will be formally opened on Qotober 3 and 4.

He Rx ghnrzed with embezzlement of government —_— An DUnexpected Find, An Atlanta dispatoh says: The acci- dental opening of a soldier’s grave here iuwrdny disclosed what is rarely ever idden in the tomb—money. The grave was on tho side of a hill, near the East Tennessee railroad shops, and was about four or five feet deop. The soldier was probably hastily buried there dnr- ng the war. Workmen have been engaged m making an eexcavation st this place for several days and more than once have discovered bones that greatly resembled those of a human body, They dug a hole twelve foet deep and four feet square and into it lowered a small can filled with gunpow- der, to which a fuse was attached, for the purpose of loosening the earth. Over the ean they firmly packek some clay and the fuse was then lighted. Ina few séconds there was & muflled explosion und for several yards around the earth waa broken up a8 if it had been thor- outghl,y plnu% ed. n one spot, within a few feet of the hole, & solid piece of earth has been lifted up and turned over, leaving an ex- cavation 8 feet square and 5 feet deep. One of the workmen peered 1nto the d, hastily returning to his com- xclaimed: ‘“That'sa grave and there's a skeleton init.”” The men looked into the tomb and saw a human skeleton with all the bones in their proper piace, but at a touch they fell spart. = A closer inspection was made and several brass buttons, with the letters “1J. 8.”” on them, and the visor to a cap, were found in the grave. There was no sign of burial garments or of decayed wood to show that the dead soldier had been buried in a coflin, “L believe this is money," exclaimed one of the workmen as he brushed the earth-stains from something round in his hand. He held a $20 gold piece. “I have found one just like it,” ex- citedly exclaimed another laborer, and he set to work to make his goid shin ““Here's a small picce— $5,” exclaimed a third workman. The search became general and one 20 gold prece, two tens and an- making in all $00, were found 1er’s grave, One of the laborers who had not been fortunate enough to pick up one of the coins faid: “You wouldn't catch me tak- ing money home what came out of a rave. I just tell you that skeleton will huunt you fellows what's got that gold, sure as you're born.” A This caused some uneasiness among the holders of the money, but they didn't give it up. The body was that of a union soldier, as the letters on the brass buttons clearly indicated, and he was probably among the killed in one of the _ battles fougnt around Atlanta. Like many others who met a similar fate, he was buried without a winding sheet or shroud and with little He was probuably buried in 8 in which he was shot down, and his money was left in his pockets and covered up in the grave. After more than twenty years no trace of the gur- ments could be found, but tha gold was still there, and gf all the contents of the tomb it was the only thing that remuined for which men care or find use to-day. - The Celebrate ataleptic.
