A bad Arrangement.

One of the police officers who was on
duty yesterday in the vicinity of the
new station, says that there was great
deal of dissatisfaction occasioned yes.

waiting room being locked up, and no
accommodation for number of ladies
who had come from Philadelphia on
the steamer Feltou. The boat left an
hour sooner than she had been doing on
Sunday, and these ladies not knowing
this were too late in getting to the
wharf, and were compeliC to remain
on the sidewalk, until train left for
Philadelphia. The officer says thatStans.
bury Murray furnished some chairs,
but there were still number who had
to stand up. He says that he made
every effort to get some one to open the
room, but every official whom he ap.
preached said that he could not do 1t,
as it would be coD Urary 10 orders.

noticing that Demby was dressed In
q new suit asked where he got those
clothes, when he replied that he had

Blaine's Business Associate.

Inquired what Mr.. Blaines' errand
in Ohio was to day, where he has
gone with Mr.. Elkins. The general
idea is that he is seeking to get rail-
road connections for his Piedmont
and Fairfax Stone railroad. The
small beginnings of fortune are traced
in this anecdote. About twelve years
ago young man named Stephen B.
EIkins was sent TO Congress as dele.
gate from New Mexico. He was
blushing and ambitious. Blaine, the
Speaker, paid so much more courtesy
to his wishes than he expected that
the young man fell IN love with him.
Soon afterward Elkins, being a young
widower, began to court a daughter
of Senator Henry G. Davis, of West
Virginia. He heard Davis talk about
coal lands near by. Elkins looked
into the matter and began to buy
also. He drew Blaine into the pur-
chase. This turned Blaine's atten-
tion 10 virginia railroads, and he be-
came purchaser of the old James
River Canal and organizer of rail.
road on its bed. This yielded him a
handsome fortune itself.
Meantime mining In Colorado leap
ed up and Elkins went into it with
Mr.. Chaffee, his old associate in the
sale of the Maxwell Mexican grant,
which was the common basis of their
wealth. They both liked Blaine-he
planked up his money. and came out
ahead there, too. He WAS backed up
for the Presidency by these two both
times. Now Elkins and Blaine are
looking for large extensions of the
railroad they have developed from
Senator Davis coal.fields. Both
Blaine and Conkling are therefore,
hard in pursuit of fortune-both we'll
advertised, both glutted with success
and starved with disappointment;
and of such is not the kingdom Of
Heaven. But ElkIns has several
fine children by that gIrl he went
c0urting among the coal lands. - Cm-
