OuANTRELL,s DEATH.
*O"N
Nevada, No. Special.


]. II. Barnhill of this city, who
served with Quantrell from the begiR-
ming of the war till the summer Of
1868, says the dispatch stating that his
chief died at the home of Mrs. Par

likewise the dispatches published that
Ouantrell was in I.osAngeles in 1877.
When his attention was called to the
matter Mr.. Barnhill said:

To the Voters Of the Eleventh Judicial
District of KANSAS:

A year ago was elected Judge OF
this district to ill u vacancy caused by
the resignation of Hon. George Chan
dler. In announcing my candidacy,
I said, "there is a growing tendency
among the people that the office is not
a political one, and the incumbent
ought not to owe his place to the action
of a political caucus" Adhering 10
the sentiment then expressed, l again
announce myself a candidate for :he
Office. The press Of official duties will
prevent Inc from visiting the different
parts of the district, or seeing you in
person. During the period l have
served you as Judge, it has been my
endeavor TO discharge the duties OF
the Office faithfully, and in accordance
with my official oath. Ny past SER
vice on the bench, will, if reelected.
be an earnest of the future.
Very respectfully, ]. ID. McCUE.

Still Standing In New Ravens Some
"reminiscences.
New Haven Palladium


The old Benedict Arnold house is still
standing in the Fifth ward, on Water street,
near the corner of Olive street. Ithas fallen
into. decay, but there are some gray. haired
citizens who remember it when it was one of
the show places of the town. Its orchard
was the largest and finest in New Haven,
and the grounds were laid out in handsome
terraces.
Arnold built the house soon after bis re-
turn from Ticonderoga. He must have been
~:nan Of wealth, for the house was well built
and the grounds were ample. Arnold was
not popular man. He had violent and ir-
ascible temper, and would rather fight than
eat" as has been said of him. He always
found fault. and the ferrymen who took
passengers across the mouth of the QUINN.
piac river before the bridge was built dread
ed to have him for passenger, for he al
ways swore at them for not rowing faster.
= Nevertheless Arnold was man of affairs.
Besides his business as a druggist and b ok
seller, he with Adam Babcock, owned three
vessels emerged in the West India trade.
Ihey were the brigantine Fortune, forty
tons, the Charming Sally. thirty tons and the
Three Brothers: twenty-eight tons. Arnold
never took particular pains to see that all
custom house dues were paid in fact he
was very lax in this particular 1t is related
that once on time sailor ON board one of
his vessels reported some of these laxities to
the collector of the port. The report was
made Sunday and the collector refused TO re-
ceive it, and told the sailor to come again on
Monday. In the meantime Arnold had
heard of the sailors talebearing. Before
Monday came Arnold adopted a course of
moral and physical suasion which compelled
the sailor to leave town with his tale untold.
Arnold's laxitv in regard to the customs
laws was probably not much greater than
that OF his neighbors. Indeed to evade the
customs was virtue rather than fault, for
IL was regarded as justifable method of
protest against taxation without representa-
tiOn.
.Arnald's property was confiscated after
his treachery at West Point was discovered.
Pierpoint Edwards acted on the govern
ments administration and sold the property
to Capt. Isaac Prout. Capt. Prout made
only partial payment, and was unable to
meet the subsequent payments as they be-
came due In this way the property came in
to the hands of Noah Webster, the lexico
grapher, and he lived there for some years,
finally selling it to James Hunt, West India
merchant who devised it to his daughter,
wife of D. COTE Phipps of this city. The
house still remains in Mrs. Phipp's posses
sion, although it has been almost dismantled.
Betsey Arnold, a sister of Benedict Arnold,
lived for years and years, after her brothers
disgrace, in Norwich on public charity.
When she was 60 years old she was taken to
the almshouse by old Sheriff E. G. Thomas.
Betsy made great how-de-do about it and
was so grieved that she onay lived a few
months. She was a strong old woman, and
mad much of her brothers. tamnar

Tom waller made II Popular.


A correspondent of the New York Herald
asks the origin Of the phrase: Painting the
town red" The Herald is inclined to attrib-
ute it TO Jack Falstaff. who said of the good
lads in Eastcheap They call drinking
dyeing scarlet" This is good shot, but it
is not bull's-eye. The colloquial expression
now in use is to be attributed, we think. to
ex-Goy. Waller. At any rate. its entrance
into the vernacular of the street dates from
his use of it when governor. In the summer
of 1888 the Harvard crew administered to the
Yale crew singing defeat upon the Thames
river, which they proceeded to celebrate with
corresponding enthusiasm and recklessness
in New London. Headed by brass band.
the madly hilarious crowd, carrying crimson
flags and streamers in bountiful profusion,
halted in front of Gov. Walters office and
called for speech. Mr. Waller threw open
his Office window and in pleasant WoIds
congratulated the boys upon their wei earned
victory, and assured them OF the freedom VI
the town. Then, noticing the profusion a o.
crimson colors, added by way OF Irienay
caution "But don't, boys, paint tne toMn
red" We believe this is the correct story :
