JAMES +. JOY.
The Man Who Contradiets Beecher-Who
He Is.

Ine MAN VINO ContfauletS Beechef-Who
Washington Letter,
A Michigan statesman gives me the following
gossip about him. 'EHe is one of the most up
right men in Michigan, a member of the Pres
byterian Church, and a man whose bond is good
for 81 900, 600 almost any hour in the day. He is
a self millionaire, and when he zane to
the West, from New England, he had nothing
but a good education, pluck, and business abili-
ty. He had been educated at Bowdoin College,
in the same class, 1 am told, with the poet Long
fellow, and he began his career at Detroit as a
law student. Shortly after this he became q
partner of Mr.. Porter, once Governor of Michi-
gan, and the firm was known as Joy q Porter.
1t was at just about this time that the great era
of railroad building commented, and Michigan
had gone into an extensive system of internal
improvements, including railroads and canals.
Within a few years these became mixed up
with politics, and the State got disguised, and
wanted to get rid of its interest in them. The
Lake Shore d Michigan Southern and the Michi-
gan Central were sold, and James +. Joy had
something TO do with their sales. This was his
first initiation III railroading, and from that time
To this he has been one of the leading railroad
men of the country. He made a special study of
railroad law and was soon known as the greatest
railroad lawyer of the West. He was 9. member
of the company which built the first railroad
west Of Chicago, and he figures as one Of the
seven men who obteined the first railroad land
grant In the United States, which was for the
INV 0CASAN ANH oAAAh6 OAAN8SO W
Cairo. Stephen A. Douglas helped Mr.. Joy in
the getting Of this grant, and it proved very
profitable indeed. By this time Mr.. Joy had be-
come the greatest railroad man of the West.
The Eastern capitalists had unlimited conf
dence in him, and he could command any
amount of money for any enterprise he wished
to engage in. He built the first railroad to the
Mississippi, and was the first to bridge that
river. All over the Northwest he has laid his
tracks, and he is now worth between five and
six million dollars. He has been for years a
leading Republican, and has done great deal
for the party. He was for years the intimate
friend of Zach Chandler, and he was won't to
help Senator Chandler greatly while he lived.
mir Joy is now about seventy-four years old,
and he is healthy enough when at home to walk
up and do W town to and from his office. He is
at it, too, every day in the week except Sunday,
and he works from 8 till 4. He is very plain
and simple in all his habits, and there is moth
ing of the aristocrat or the snob about him. He
lives in a fine house on Fort street, and. though
it is finely furnished, he is prouder of its large
private library than of any other part of it. Mr..
Joy is a great reader, and he especially affects
French books, which he reads in the original.
He still keeps up his Latin, and is fond of Vic
tor Hugo

The Modest Mrs. Lockwood.

New York, Oct. 18.-Mrs Belva Lockwood
arrived in this city this morning, stopping at the
Fffth-avenue Hotel Almost Immediately after en-
tering the hotel she went out again and visited the
gallery of a photographer. The operator was
about to seat her in a small chair, when she
espied the large chair,i in which Blaine and Cleve-
land sat while having their photographs taken.
"Why don't you place Inc in that chair" she
asked.
e'Tbat is the presidential chair" replied the
operator.
'WeH, sir, I viii sit in that chair" said Mrs.
Lockwood; II think I am able to fill it as wella as
any VINO have occuuie6 it."

General Many at Greenfield.

Correspondence Of the lndianapo is Journal.
GREENFIELD, Oct. 18.-An enthusiastic meet
ing was held here tonight. Captain r. A
Riley, the Butler elector for this district, was
chosen as chairman, and, upon taking the chair,
gave his reason, in a half-hour speech, why he
preferred Blaine and Logan to Cleveland and
Hendricks in such a manner as to bring Mitchell,
of the Hancock Democrat, to his feet on several
occasions, but always to return to his seat van
pushed. At the close of Captain Riley's re
marks, General Many delivered an address,
which was received with great enthusiasm.

FaitI, Cure On Ton.

wATBRTowN, Wis, Oct 1s-W. H. Buckley,
a harness-maker from Chicago, has opened q
series of meetings in the Baptist Church for the
healing of the halt and diseased. The afflicted
appear before the altar and are addressed briefly
by Mr.. Buckley before the ceremony of laying
on of hands takes place. The most remarkable
case last night was that of Miss Ellen Buehle, of
Waterloo. who was so weak from consumption
that she had to be helped to the place at the
altar. When the ceremony was completed, how
ever, she arose and walked with a firm step
around the pulpit TO her seat, and declared she
was entirely cured. Buckley will remain some
time, and will probably draw great crowds.

at 10 or IL. He always takes eight or nine
hours sleep. In the matter of dress he suits
himself. He does not dress in broadcloth, but
wears business suits. He wears no jewelry ex-
cept a pair of gold sleeve buttons; no ring, no
studs, not even % watch and chain. 1t is well
lives on a simple diet, because his days are given
to laborious work. He writes like a steam en-
CINE, and it is said that, for rapid writing, he
has no equal in this country. He is a great
reader of newspapers, history, the old classics
and the old comedies. With such habits and
tastes Mr.. Blaine ought to enjoy good health.
and it is probable that he does as a general
thing.

BUTLER's PALACE-GAR.
How the Workingman's Candidate VIII
Travel Like a King.

Newark On. J.) Times.
General Butler will stump New York State
for himself until election day. He will start out
tomorrow morning and will first speak on his
workingmanis platform at Schenectady. Stand
ing in the Grand Central station in New York,
is the car that will carry him through the
country. On either end is the word Private"
and on either side is the name of the car, Etelka
Gerster. The coach cost $32, 900, and Mr.. But
Ter will pay $3.50 a day for the use of it. In
short, Mr.. Butler will travel in a style that will
make William II. Vanderbilt and Jay Gould feel
cheap and mean.
Besides a regal Gining-room, there are four
sleeping-rooms, all of which can be used for
other purposes. His own room is quite large,
and mirrors Of beveled glass are set in panels all
around the room. The windows are also of
beveled glass. Over them can be drawn Shades
of tapestry and over these still curtains of rich,
heavy tapestry fall.
The walls and the arched ceiling are covered
with heavily embossed leather, colored to look
like beaten gold and silver and bronze. At one
end is a writing desk of carved Spanish walnut.
The general will eat as well as sleep in the
car. The kitchen is supplied with a range, ice
chest, and every convenience, including a patent
potato parer and a high-priced pot in which to
make Vienna coffee. The first supplies for the
kitchen and the sideboard were brought to the
car late yesterday afternoon. The groceries
and other things for the table amounted e
$116.l4 The entire bill was $3.50. "a, and the
difference was for liquors for the General, of
which the following is a list:
Two cases Of champagne (pintsl, extra dry.
One case of Sherry wine.
One case S. O. T. brandy, 1926.
One case rye whisky Cabinet, 1857.
One case of claret Chateau Lafttel.
Six bottles port wine, 1859.
Four dozen lager (Alilwaukee).
-Four dozen Bass's ale.
-Four dozen ginger ale.
Fifty quarts of Apolinaris.
The dining room is a gorgeous place. Around
are easy seats, which can be conve. ted into beds,
and cane chairs. In the center is a table, which
can be extended to accommodate fourteen.
There are large mirrors and windows on each
side. Two of the windows comprise panes, the
largest ever put in a car. They are over five
feet by four, and are handsomely engraved.
Completing all is a sideboard filled with decant
ers, glasses for all kinds of liquors, and silver
ware. The three small sleepingrooms contain
two berths each, and are fitted up in the same
elegant style. There IS a library in the car sup,
piled with one hundred volumes of standard
works of all kinds.

Wisconsin Sure for Republicans.

Lafayette courier.
Hon. Joseph Brueker, of Wisconsin, who, with
Prof. Fl. I. Detmar, of Illinois, spoke atPythian
Hall last night, was interviewed by a Courier
representative:
"Some Democratic papers speak of Wisconsin
as one of the doubtful States. Is there any rea-
son for that" asked the reporter.
None in the least. Wisconsin is a certain
Republican State by from II, 900 to 20, 900 ma
jority. / guess you will find that no Democrat
who is candid will say that Wisconsin affords any
consolation to the Democracy

General Browne in Delaware County.

Correspondence of the Indianapolis journal.
MUNcIE, Oct 17.-General Thomas NJ. Browne
addressed a large and enthusiastic crowd of Re
publicans yesterday afternoon at Eaton, and
this afternoon at New Corner, both of which
towns are in the northern part of this county.
The people assembled at each place to the mum
Der of two thousand-very large gatherings for
such small places. The General was in his best
humor, and made a forcible speech, in which he
discussed the pension, tariff and financial ques-
lions in the most telling way. and with remarka-
BILE effect. This is the section Of the county
over which Secretary of State Myers ran a week
or SO ago, and sought to make friends and votes
by a discussion of local questions; but it seems
that he has failed completely, for Delaware
county throughout was never in better shape to
give a solid support to the State and national
tickets. General Brownies presence and speeches
this week have contributed greatly to this
result

therefor; he shed crocodile tears when bewsiling
the impoverished condition of the country, and
especially the laborer, all on account of the
robber tariff. McCaslin followed in a logical
speech of an hour and a half, in which he fully
met the position assumed by Rice, and clearly
demonstrated that the Democracy only desired
were again attempting to ride into power by pre-
Stunning upon the ignoranceo of the people. Rices
close was nothing but the wall of a badly
whipped man. 1t was a complete triumph for
McCaslin.

this a coat of wax is modelled, and over this
again is put another layer of clay. The whole
is then baked. the wax running off through
apertures left for that purpose, and the central
core being kept in its place by iron pegs, the
alloy is then run into the space previously oc-
