his wife, and son Oliver the only three
persons IN the house.
Mr.. Ford in describing IL said he

had stood beside Union gun of For
tress Monroe when 400 pounds OF shot
was fired from il, but be never heard
anything equal TO That crash Of hight.

dumb and blinded by the flash When

Thomas Bird, turnkey at tho police
station, came Into the REPUBLtcAN of.
fce this morning with a eohplalnt.
He says he has been In the habit OF
calling IN at Gilbride's restaurant, No,
N East Fourth street nightly about
midnight, for o lunch in the shape Of O
sandwich and cup OF coffee, for
which he paid ten cents. Chloride
keeping open all night is great con-
venience to tho night police force who
stand In need OF lunch. Thomas
said he went In as usual last night and
talled for cup of coffee, when Gil.
bride told him It would be IS cents to
him.
Thomas was astonished, as tho place
bad been largely pahonized by color
ed people, but concluded to hand over
bis % cents for his cup of coffee and
Liilbrlde took 1t. Thomas then told
Chloride that II he had informed him
before that the patronage of colored
people was not desirable he would not
have troubled him, to which Gilbride
made no reply that could be under
stood, when Thomas left. Later on,
however, Thomas told his experience
TO white gentleman who called on
Hilbrlde to know why he had acted so,
when he handed him 20 cents to take
back to Thomas and to apologize for
him, as 1t was all a mistake. Thomas,
however, Is not inclined TO look at 1t
i'm this light and declined both the
Change and the apology.
