Chicago, Got. 19-Shortly after noon
a special train was made up at the stock
yards to convey a hundred discharged
Pinkerton men back TO Chicago, it
having been decided to dispense with
the services of 600 of them to-day. Az
the men filed into cars they were greeted
with yells OF derision by crowds of strik-
ers and their sympathizers that sur
rounded the tracks. AS the train started
the crowd yelled and threw stones at the
cars. The same scene occurred at Forty.
third street, where the crowd was very
large and abusive. at this point one of
rifle through q window and fired into the
o w~ell-to-do teamster of the town. He
is fatally wounaed. The crowd
made q desperate rush for the
train which, however, started of at a
high rate of speed and has now reached
Chicago. Another train Of Pinkerton,s
men will come down from the yards this
afternoon when serious trouble is feared
as crowds are furious Mt the shooting
hpd Wv ro~bESoauCo. IL Is eniu u large
number of strikers are dissatisfied at the
order of the executive commlttes send
ing them back to work and that they
are holding a secret meeting to discuss
the situation.
Word was Immediately sent to the
Chicago authorities, and upon the
arrival of the train a lot OF Pinkerton
men, together with some forty non-union
men and workmen, who were at the train
were arrested, and they are all now
locked up in the Harrison street station.

Cousin Ben's appointment.

Ben Folsom, the cousin of the presi-
dents wife. according to the story that
ls given out by his friends of the admin.
istration here, has been planning to Sc
cure the Sheffield consulate, to which he
has now been appointed, since 1876. He
was then active for Tilden. He expected
to get the place if Hancock had been
elected, and the fact that the president
married his second cousin did not seem
to Mr.. Folsom sufficient reason for re-
linquIshing his ambition, nor did it so
seem to the president. Mr.. Folsom ie o
lawyer, about forty years of age IN
active practice in Buffalo. Per contra,
friends of Folsom, who have known him
long in Buffalo, express doubts whether
he is a democrat. They say
he belongs to g republican family
and that the democrats of Buffalo
don't care to have him charged to them.
1t appears that this appointment has
exclted surprise in cabinet circles, where
the subject of appointing family friends
to office has been considered, and where
it, IN one instance at least, was a stnm-
bling block. MIR. Manning was much dis
appointed owe this appointment of q
postmaster at Albany, he recommended
Mr. Delahanty The president discovered
that Delahanty, recommended by Mr..
Manning, was the father of the latter's
son-in-law. When he made tho dis
covery he refused to make the appoint
ment. 1t would not do at all. he said,
and he appointed someone else. Mr..
Manning was quite displeased at the
time. but there was not enough of dis
appointment to warrant a quarrel.

MRS. Grant a Recyuse.

Philadelphia Times: The statement
that the widow of Gen. Grant had an.
nounced her intention of selling the
generals favorite place of Long Branch
because of the melancholy memories il
holds recalls the fact that there are very
many happier women in the world now
than she. There is, of course, no other
reason why the cottage ahould be sold,
for the proceeds from the sale of the gen.
erals memoirs and the trust fund, from
which q comfortable income is derived,
place her far above want of any material
kind. Since the generals death Mrs.
Grant has lost her former cheerfulness
and courage. Socially she has become a
~reoluse, going nowhere, interested In al
most nothing, and wrapped apparently
in melancholy contemplation of the past,
Always a robust women, she still enjoys
good health, but it is feared this will give
way if she cannot be aroused and her
mind diverted. The best OF her life went
out with the funeral procession which
started from Mount McGregor, and she
understands this better than any one
else in the world.

to buy extensively, and the growth NJ

ago, be was estimated to be worth $40

liam b. left it in turn to his son, John
Jacob, and now John Jacob has intrust-
ed 1T to his son-his sole child, indeed
William Waldorf Astor. This virtually
amounts to ar entail, and prevents
he wealth from being scattered,
though there Is small danger
of that, the Astors being
noted for conservatism and prudent
thrift. They have always invested in
real estate, buying few bonds or stocks,
and have eyInced great care and dis.
cretlon IN their Investments. Their
constantly increasing surplus they have.
SO to speak, put into the ground, reap
ing extraordinary profits thereby. They
never sell; they are ever buying, buying,
buying, but keeping their transactions
as secret as possible. No one but them.
selves and their agents have any idea of
the vast blocks of real estate in their
possession. They own thousands OF
business houses and dwellings,. They
never touch unimproved property, and
now add each year two or three hundred
houses to their immense holding.
When it is remembered that wealth
doubles at simple interest in less than
seventeen years, ard in much less time
when invested in real estate, it is easy
to understand how theirs must have
grown in the past ninety years. One of
the advantages of such Investments is
b a they increase with the value of,the
city. They are not confined, as bonds
and similar securities are, to 9 fixed
rate OF interest. Certain lots purchased
thirty d years ago, would pay to-day
hat Is equivalent to 40 or so per cent
per annum. There is little doubt that
the Astor estate is by far the greatest
here or in this country. In can not be
much short of $300,000 900. and by the
CLOSE of the century, if managed as it
has been, it will be nearly doubled,
