4 HUSILING VERMONTER.

Elk United States Senator Tabor of
Denver, Colo, has been forced to
make an assignment, though he still
has large amount of property and
may have considerable left after his
debts are paid. The decline in the
price of silver and business depression
have brought him to the wall, most Of
his property being in real estate which
cannot at present be sold to advan
tage.
Tabor was born in Holland, Yer
mont and brought up on farm. He
learned the trade of a stone cutter in
Massachusetts and then moved to
Kansas and engaged in farming. He
gave considerable attention to politics
was active in the free soil movement
in that state, and participated in the
exciting struggle against the hordes
of ruffianism. He next turned up in
what is now Leadville, Col. He kept
a small store, and furnished miners
supplies. He was SO poor that his
wife did washing for the miners. Ia
Dor ssgrub staked' two minors, they
struck it rich and Tabor became a
millionaire in a night. He bought
out the other share owners and secur-
ed adjoining claims, after which he
organized the Little Pittsburgh Con-
solidated company. The Little Con-
solidated Mining company was next
organized with capital stock of 500,
600, 1000, M. l. B. Chaffee and D. III.
Moffat, jr., being large owners of the
stock. The production Of these mines
from the spring Of 1878 to April, 1880,
amounted to So, 697, 543 for receipts of
ores sold and S4,246, 239 actual yield,
and dividends of 100000 a month
were paid.
Tabor sold his interest to Chaffee
and Moffat for a round million and
bought the Chrisolite mine, which
proved richer thanthe Little Pitts
burg, and in less than six months,
while the company was putting the
mine in shape for future production
paid 1 200, 900 in dividends, and the
total yield for II months was $4,000,
600. Tabor also held quarter in the
Robert E. Lee Bonanza, which yielded
Is, 900 to 10000 ounces of silver per
ton and coined millions for it's owners.
He next bought the Matchless mine,
and this ultimately yielded him $4,000

per day and ran as high as $11O, 900
per month. He became prominent in
Leadville and Denver enterprises, and
in his positions of financial trust his
record was notable. He bought about
one half the stock of the First nation
al bank Of Denver, and was first mayor
ofLeadvilIe. He subsequently, settled
to put some Of hia money into real
estate in that city. He did so and
built the Tabor block and the Tabor
opera house. The opera house was
known all over the country, and the
late Edwin Booth considered it the
handsomest theater in the United
States.
Mr.. Tabor became one the largest
land owners in the world. He owned
$4,000 acres Of copper land in Texas,
and 100000 acres of grazing lands in
Southern Colorado. He obtained from
the republic Of Honduras grant of
each alternate section of 400 miles
bordering on the Potook river and $50
square miles in the interior of that
country. This land in Honduras con-
tanned immense tracks of ebony, ma
hogany and other valuable woods, and
deposits of gold, silver and coal.
Mr.. Tabor was elected the first lieut.
enant governor Of Colorado and was
chosen United States senator to fill
out the unexpired term of Senator
Teller.

ing the bottom of the second flight
we CROPPED our way through sub
terranean passage, led onward by an
other sickly flame which burned, if
possible, with less brilliancy than the
first, when our passage way became
blocked by a heavy wooden door,
which the guide unlocked, and slow
ly swung back upon its hinges. Then,
with further injunctions to avoid
coming in contact with things around
us, we followed him into the room.
Room? Three sides of it was of solid
rock, the only PARTITION being that in
which was hung the door. Two lights
similar to the others lit up the gloomy
space. The tmosphere was sitting
and filed with fetid odors. On our
right, arranged against the cherries
wall, was a row of wooden hunks
covered with some kind of dark cloth;
and reclining upon those hunks,
silent, stolid and Indifferent, were
two of the most wretched specimens
Of humanity I ever beheld. They
were Chinese lepers. Rags covered
them-they needed no other clothes.
Their sallow faces and shrunken forms
lit up by the CHASTITY glare of the
burning wicks in the basins of oil and
made them look like ghosts, Or
shadows of ghosts, in some Internal
abode. They were living a living
death. Twenty years is the limit of
the disease; therefore, for twenty
years, without one ray Of sunshine,
one breath of pure air, one touch of
frie ndly hand, those two lepers must
live in that walledup tomb, unless
death takes compassion upon them
and removes them sooner. One of
them has passed five years in that
dungeon already. The law says, all
lepers must be removed from the city;
so to avoid the law, these dungeons
are fitted up and the lepers conceal
ed within them by their relatives and
friends. Here they can visit them at
times and furnish them with the ne
cessities of life. If the authorities are
cognizant of the fact they make no
mention of it. 1t is an easy way to
dispose of them. The only happiness
for the leper is the visionary hap
piness derived from the opium he
smokes. The ones we visited held
out little tin cups to us as we ap
preached, and into them we dropped
few coppers. They were not allow
ed to touch those coppers, and the
few collected in that way were spent
for opium. One of them undid the
bapdages from his limbs and we look
eduponthe lloathsomef disease The
skin waseone! solid mass of greatscales
almost the size of fifty cent pieces
and nearly as black as ink. Around
them were blood-red lines which
seemed to run in different grooves or
channels The surface was smooth
and shiny, and as the leper informed
us, was entirely void of feeling. How
that dungeon was ventilated [ know
not; but so pregnant was the atmos-
phere with the fumes of opium, drugs,
and other sickening odors that we
could stand itconlyfor a few moments,
andqw thankful when we once
more found ourselves out upon the
street.

THE IMPROVEMENT IN BUSINESS.

Slowly but steadily the country is
emerging from the depressed con-
dition with which the present year
opened. The weekly reviews Of
trade show this, but the most assuring
indications of revival come from the
bank and railroad returns. 1t ap-
pears from an official report made to
the Comptroller of the Currency that
in New York alone the bank loans
and discounts have increased 10000,
900 within three months, which GER
tainly attests renewed confidence.
Other cities will doubtless furnish
similar reports of the employment of
capital in business. The railroad COM
panies, very generally, are reporting
increased earnings-one of the most
hopeful signs of better times. There
is scarcely a road that did not report
for the first week in October higher
receipts-in some cases, the Louisville
& Nashville, for example, as high as
$67 ,51O-over the corresponding week
last year. 1t should be remembered
that railroads are "enormous pur-
chasers,'' and any limitation or di-
intuition Of their purchasing power is
Immediately and severely felt in many
branches of trade. Railroad earnings,
therefore, affect business, and i'm
provement in that respect is an index
of improvement in the general bust
ness situation. The problem of the
unemployed is also being solved

The Supreme Court has just made
an importantd decision in regard to sell
ing Intoxicating liquor. A man was
convicted of a first offence for selling
and first offence for keeping with
intent to sell. The court decided that
the latter was not a first but second
offence and fined the delinquent 5000
and Imprisonment in the work house
for 80 days.
The two classes Of offences have hith

d. r. Foreman. who recently married
Mrs. Clara Lyons, of this city, and who
was afterward arrested for bigamy and
sent to jail, is acquiring notorietY at
rapid rate. Squire Beckwith, the mag
istrate before whom Foreman was ex-
amined, when first arrested, fixed his
bond at 81, 900, and refused to take Mrs.
Lyons, who still claimed TO be his wife,
although the woman was well-to-do.
The ground for refusal was, OF course,
that she was his wife until otherwise
proven. However, the woman, who is
infatuated with Foreman. through
friends interested in some way, got the
magistrate to reduce the bond to $500
evening before last. Then Foreman
skipped out. Yesterday it was learned
that he was seen going out the Bati-
more and Ohio railroad afoot. War
rants were issued by the Prosecuting
Attorney, charging him with escaping
from jail unlawfully, and kilograms were
sent out. Foreman was captured at
Clarksburg, and brought back to this
city and Jailed this afternoon. The
Prosecuting Attorney says the magis-
trate had no authority to lessen the
mans bond. There is a great deal OF
comment upon the case throughout the

Succsssfal-Ausic Refreshments
and Addresses

Yesterday afternoon between the
hours OF three and six o'clock the Rey-
mann Brewing Company entertained
six or eight hundred guests, in the hDe
hall at the brewery.
The occasion was the annual book
beer test, an event looked forward TO,
by the friends of the corporation, on
each recurring spring, with the bright
est anticipations.
Yesterday, despite the rain, the at
tendance was somewhat larger than
usual, and the affair was the most sue
cessful OF the series so far given.
Although the test was not to COM
mence until three o'clock the guests be-
gaA to gather in the large hall long be-
fore that hour, and when all was an
nounced in readiness from three hundred
to three hundred and fifty gentlemen
took seats at the tables or otherwise
disposed themselves abobtSthe hall. In
one corner the sOpera House orchestra
was stationed, and under the leadership
OF Prof. Spell, a splendid programme
was discoursed during the entire after
noon. At intervals glee club also en-
tertained those present, and several ad-
dresses were made, the first, a very
happy one, by Mr.. Anton Reymann, short
~ after three o'clock. in which be wal
coined his friends and the friends OF his
friends in a most cordial manner.
In the body of the hall eight large
tables, each capable of accommodating
thirty or forty men, had been arranged,
and upon them were disposed as tempt
ing a repsst OF deIcacies and substan-
tialS as could be wished for, while an
efficient corps Of walters were kept busy
supplying book, which this year is pos
sesSed of unusual good qualities. Alter
due attention to the refreshments,
cigars succeeded. and then those first at
the tables gave place TO others, con-
slant stream of new arrivals keeping
the large hall well filled. The occa-
sion was a most happy one through
out.
MIR. Anton Reymann was aided in
doing the honors by Mr.. Paul Reymann,
and Messrs. Happy, Grimm, Hirsch,
Schmitt and others, and every one was
made TO feel entirely at home.
