GRAND CENTRAL HOTEL,
New York CITY, Oct 30, 1871 ! |
B, l,2. Our neighboring, active little city OF
'N'''' Paterson, famous alike in her industries,
tSf, her charities, and her wealth, has lately
,aa,i been brought prominently before the
public mind by one two events OF
'' tragic interest which i need not pause
here to recte 1t is enough for us to
know, as doubtless the telegraph has
~. Y promptly informed you, that Rosenz- /
-" weig, who made Paterson home a
home of grief and reavement-Rosenz- !
VI9 4. aweg, the callous, unfeeling butcher and
abortOnist-hasb been sentenced to seven
years of hard labor the severest penalty
which the law provides for his offence. |
ADVENTURES OF TWO PATTERSON BOYS.
IL, But for all this, Paterson is gori-
y Is ously busy, thrifty town, with popula-
IL. -. tion pushing close on to forty thousand.
-i:it Her young men indulge, some of them,
in base ball, chess or billiards; some
are given to lectures and libraries, a
-'.' GOOD many cultivate the social, and all
of them dress in pretty close line with
the fashion of the day--in short, there
is good dsal of style in the town, and
when the fall season brought out the
.' .ie prevailing rage for light overcoats and
grey felt hats of the Alpine brgand or
der, Paterson contributed her full share
toward filling the Golfers of the clothiers
and matters vending the articles afore-
( 49, said
But ithappened on oneill-starred day
"a day or two after Chicago went up
~ two young men of goodly Paterson
- made up their minds to make a trip
westward, and view the smoking ruins
: of what had been the Queen City of
the Lakes. They were both young men
"a, of reputable standing. The one II.
we will call him, had been Vice Con-
"a = sui, or something of that sort, in France
- ss. for several years past; the other, NJ, is
o.. Ward Clerk in Paterson, and gener-
:: ally considered first class young fell
> low. But alas! it was his crime-their
ls crime l should say-on this trip to have
n - started attired la mode in brigand hat,
~, and light airy fall overcoats, the very
t'l pink of neatness and good taste.
. Well, their troubles began at Buffalo.
And now, moreover, to drop levity,
there occurred to them an incident
which, on the part of those who were
;. responsible for it, requires more than
: the passing explanation and apology
which were given at the time, to justify
or explain it away Briefly, these two
-, young gentlemen, while occupying a
:, room in the National Hotel at Buffalo,
- were aroused at four o'clock in the
,as = morning by loud raps on their door, and
threats that if they did not admit the
intruder the door would be broken in.
-rtFl 1t proved to be the Buffalo Chief of
Police and one OF his officers. They had
been informed, they said, on suspicion,
that the two guests upon whom they
so rudely intruded, were burglars, they
's ' must get up at once and be examined.
In vain the Patersonians protested and
r declared their readiness to give any
satisfactory proof of their respectability.
..-,rf .. Nothing could answer until their clothes
in the apartment had been thoroughly
searched; some private letters read, and
insinuations made that they were 'sus-
~. piciOus looking characters, anyhow"
All this, too, mind you, without the dis
play of any warrant for their arrest
nothing but the simple announcement
2 "a of the suspicion resting upon them.
There are some who hazard the sus-
picion that these young men, had they
'F-' been armed, would have been perfectly
justified in treating the intruders as
they would have treated any others
whom they found breaking into their
- domicil at such an unseemly hour But
be this as it may, the officers soon dis
i Il covered that they had made a mistake,
-..- and retired crestfallen. Later in the
day, the Chief of Police called and apol-
ogized for his bunder Query-Ought
this to shield him from the legal conse-
O1pncpS of such hoh-haDdpd M n 90
{ Well, the young men started west
ward again, none too cheerful, and in
=; due season arrived at your respectable
city of Toledo. Rambling peaceably
= along Summit street, ruminating the
bitter cud of their previous nights ex-
perience, they discovered themselves
the objects of eager scrutiny on the part
OF an individual, who, pencil and note
s. book in hand, stood on the opposite
- curb, evidently taking them down, hats
and all. There cause for renewed
apprehensiOn-and it was with impa-
s. tience they awaited the arrival of the
eastward bound train which they
had resolved to book themselves
. straight home for Paterson. To kill
time, they bought copy of that even
ing's Btdde. Judge of their surprise and
CONSERVATION at reading therein an
article saying that certain suspicious
looking characters dressed and SO,
. giving quite minute descriptions of
each) had been seen about town-and
warning the patrol against them as Chi
cago incendiaries fleeing from the wrath
to come. This was too much. The poor
fellows let no grass grow under their
feet until they reached the depot-nor
felt really at ease until once more on
their native Jersey heather they re-
counted their thrilling adventures in the |
far West. AS for the enterprising Blaie
man. who thus inhospitably treated two |
visitors to your beautiful city, it is to be |
hoped that at no distant day he may |
visit Paterson and give its reporters a |
chance for first class item with refer |
ence to himself.
