A Description of PelIer.


NEW YORK, April ia night clerk
OF the Hotel Belvidere thus describes G.
Arthur Peller, the victim of the st. Louis
tragedy: He was tall man, slight 1.-THE
figure, most gentlemanly and refined in
manner; had rather Jewish cast of
cOuntenance, prominent nose, curved
lips, dark compilation, black curly hair,
with slight but very black mustache and
little mutton-chop side whiskers.
He was about thirty years old.
When he left here on the morning of
March "A his three great big trunks
were sent through to San Francisco,
while he carried two sachels and several
small boxes and bundles. Each of the
trunks weighed at least $50 pounds and
was much too heavy ID have contained
clothing only. He took special pains 10
prevent the porter from assisting In the
packing and strapping of his trunks, and
only allowed him to come into his rooms
after everything was ready for his de-
parture.
e. Arthur Preller was the son of E.
Prsller, OF London, dealer in the high
er grades of decorative print cloths and
finer qualities of embroiderings and
silks. His brother and himself were
also interested In the firm, and he trav-
eled as It's representative. be was
good deal of an artist and q
musician, having music in his
trunks which he valued at $500.
He was 81 years of age but very young
in appearance. He was of a contem-
plative cast of mind, caring nothing for
society and the last man In the world 70

dressed richly but quietly, and often
carried as much as $500 about him. He
has letter of introduction to Rev. Jas
Brooks. pastor of the Walnut Street

with whom he would come in contact.
He had no enemies and the only trait
which would bring him IN contact with
rough characters wss desire TO explore
the slums of the great city. When here
we took him through the lower wards

missionary work being done there. OF

He is a wealthy English Eoble-
man, baronet, and think relative OF
Hon. Somerset Maxwell, present Lord

of his affairs to others, but was almost
| chlldlike IN his simplicity.

The leading coach Factory.

No coach or carriage factory is better
known in this city than that at the cor
ner of Fourteenth and L streets north
west, of tho late Andrew J.. Joyce. The
work turned out is of the best quality, as
only the finest material is used, aud the
reputation of tho establishment for SUI
porior workmanship extends far beyond
this District. Mr.. George w. Joyce 10
the manager in charge, and possessing n
thorough knowledge of the business, and
skilled mon in the different departments,
enables him to build carriages, coupos,
aud other vehicles which command high
prices and ready sale. They build little
for trade as the run of orders is large, and
engages tho full capacity Of the factory
to fill them. They are also agents for
Brewster a. Co., of Now York.

AMONG THE EDITORS.
ny IRESE ACKERMAS

Calling on Editors once | went,
Hunting up items was bent,
All were busy as men could be,
But they stopped Il minute TO talk to me.
'Glad to see the UntOR."
The fattest and jolliest OF the lot
Took from his mouth lager beer pot,
Writing obituaries made him dry,
He wrote to make the people cry,
At thirty-five cents for extras.
The saddest and thinnest of them all
Was writing amuscments at the hall,
OF markets and beef and mutton chops,
While a deaf man wrote of musical hops
At twenty-five cents for.specials.
And one who seemed a long time grown
Into hard and very rough stone,
With tenderness wrote for the rich to give
Donations so the poor might live
And every line was gratisl
Near him was man with the littlest feet
And the biggest of hearts and n smile as sweet
Yet writing of carnage and pillage and war,
And such dreadful news us comes from afar
At the highest of rates by cable.
While q very poor looking and shabby-dresseC
man
Put the finishing touch to milionaire's plan
OF stocking the market while gold was scarce
And two money articles did erase,
Without ten cents in his pocket.
Then one that would like to name,
Greater than all among them came;
lie 1t was who gave their brains to man,
Kings bow to him, for the publishers can
Control worlds attention.
] thought to myself as ! came away,
How great these men, how poor their pay;
How very unlike are they who write
From what their readers think at night
Reading their powerful papers.
Do NOT throw away your money, but whel

The Adventures OF George Chandler,
the weSrer OF Life Saving

Charles Smith, or George Chandler MS
he was better known, who was released
from tho penitentiary in Brooklyn on a
writ Of hsbeas corpus, where he had been
sent for vagrancy on Wednesday last,
was we'll known in this city. Chandler
lived at 1i11 Twenty-ninth street,
Georgetown, and left his home April o,
having pinned note to his pillow saying
that he was going west. Instead Of go-
ing west ho landed in New York. and
went to police station house in Brook
lyn whore he registered as Charles Smith,
and being ragged and dirty no was sem
fenced to four months in tho penitonti-
airy.
On the oath of January, 1888, while
Rock creek was frozen over, the ice
cracked and two boys named Potter Mimi,
living at Twenty-ninth street and Olive
avenue, and John Davis, were hurled into
the water. Over 1000 people watched
tho struggles of the two boys, until
Chandler who was in the crowd threw oil

reached Davis and brought him ashore,
then without pausing moment returned
to the icy water after MINI. The task
was much more perilous the second time
for tho wat, TWAS almtss freezing. MINI
had already sunk twice before Chandler
reached him, and just as he was within q
few yards Of tho drowning boy he was
struck by hugo foe of ice and was com
polled to swim around II for his owr
safety. Whom no again reached MINI HI
made three unsuccessful attempts to drag
him ashore, but he himself lost strength
so rapidly that it was impossible and thu
lad was drowned. Three days late
Chandler was presented with golC
