The Else and Fall of Wm. bill's Rival. II. Vander- Harry Hill writes in the New York Sunday Mercury: The recent wipin' out-of perhaps the most dashin' and 'dafih' man who ever attempted to rule and has beon ruined by "the street " Henry Villard, naturally suggests the thought of how many men before him have had similar experiences. But of all the so-called "kings of the street who have been "wiped out," perhaps the most rapid in his rise and most tremendous in his fall was John M. Tobin, a man already forgotten by the many, and remembered by the few as only a name. Yet at one time, and within the memory of men still livin', Jbhn-M. Tobin was as much talked about 'as Jay Gould to-day. John got -f his start as a protege of old Commo 'Hore Yanderbilt, and made the old Commodores acquaintance in a pecu liar, off-handed fashion, characteristic of both parties. Vanderbilt at that time was runnin' the Staten Island ferry, and was gettin' rich fast He attended to the ferry business in per son and "played it for all jt was worth" to Vanderbilt One day, while at the Staten Island end of the line a Toung chap walked into the office and walked into the office and inquired for tne Uommouore. The young chap was rather flashily dressed, had a dia mond pin and a gold watch chain, and wore gloves. His manners were free and easy, and he was smokin' a cigar. He didn't look a bit like AN APPLICANT FOB WOCK, yet that was his proud position at that moment. He wanted a job on the ferry, and he told Vanderbilt so. The old Commodore, as is well known, was a keen judge of human nature, and boasted with truth that he was never mistaken in his man. '"He gave the young chap a searchin' glance, and liked what he saw, for he saw a good deal of stuff in him, be sides his loud dress and his swagger. "What's your name, sonny?" asked Vanderbilt, in his brusque way; "what do you want, and what can you do?" "My name's John M. Tobin," replied "sonny." "I want work and money, and can do everythin' I am " told to do and paid for doin'." If he h.ad quoted a whole book of "elegant extracts," he couldn't have pleased the 'old Commodore as well as by this com- Srehensive, terse answer. "Have you ad any experience in boats?" asked the Commodore. "No," replied Tob in, "but that will come in time if you give me a trial" "Have you any fami ly or friends," asked the Commodore. "No," answered Tobin; "I have nothin' in the world but what I have on my back and in my head." "Well, . - .. J. . .

Pnm oa" down to business at once. Before he left the office that day, i JOHN M. TOBIN. Was engaged to "run" one of the; "Staten Island ferry boatp. Vander bilt gave him his instructions in a few words. "Young man," he said "you are to take the tickets and al low nobody on any pretense to ride free. There are no deadheads on these boats, and you are to start pre- cidely arfd always on time. These j boats, wait for nobody." "All right," j answered Tobin, and the interview - which decided his career was over. The very next day he commenced his new vocation. The first week of Tobln's career brought an incident $JL young man wanted to ride on To--bin's boat free because his name was William H. Vanderbilt and his father owned the ferry. This was a good reason in itself, but it wasn't arranged for-in Tobin's instructions, so he in aiated on young William's payin' his fare, and young William paid it un 'jder protest. The story came to old ' Yanaerouts ears, ticiuea mm lm Baenieiy, made him more attached to ' DeptJ Washington, D. C., had con his protege, and led to Tobin's rapid i gestion of the throat and says, that anvancemeiit in tne conndence or tne , Commodore. Soon John M Tobin became known as the Commodore's pet." and expandin from ferryin' in to financierin' began to "operate" in the street for Tanderbilt, and then through Tanderbilt'a lead, on his own account In a little while he be came known as the most eccentric, darnr and unscrupulous of Wall street operators, and that is savin a i reat deaL At one time he was much I more in the older Vanderbilt's confi- dence than his son William, who had wj w&c tx. uauK. suiiu j.u iuui, in point of sheer pluck and ability, William H. Vanderbilt was nowhere com pared to John M. Tobin. In less than two months Tobin made, on the Van derbilt stocks, over two millions of dollars clear profit and clean cash, i He had ! WONDERFUL NEBVB; " Nothing staggered him; and in his boldness lay his success. His finan cial darin' took the breath away from the average financiers, and before they had recovered from the shock of fc "astonishment the uoperation"hadbeen " carried through. He laoked patience and, prudence; these were not in his line; but for audacity and brillian cy he has been equalled only by Jim 1 Fisk. Tobin, in fact, was a good deal " like Jim'Fisk, and when he had made ids money spent it in Fisk's way. He was great on "style" ind show. One .of his first "splurges" was in a satin linecLcoach, one of the finest of its kind in Ihis country. Then he took ...to givin wine parties, and took to " .gamblin. The drinkin' and gamblin, fetehed him. He was a more darin' card player than Ben Wood. It is Glaumed that he lost more money in a single night than any other man in America. The elder Vanderbilt re aonstrated with John, but it was of .use. He was resolved to go his jgait If he had had half the pru dence and common sense of the slow, Jklegmatic William H. Vanderbilt, ohnM. Tobin would have been a man to-day. But prosperity turned 1ms, head, and the financial genius be lipase a personal fool At last the end came, that end which with such men as Tobin is only a question of time. - He quarreled with the "Commodore, aad the night after the quarrel risked ""& be bad is tbe world on a game of cards. He lost the game, and the next mornin' found that his removal from his place on the Vanderbilt roads had been determined on, his ap pointed successor bein' the man who had always been, to a certain extent, his rival, William H. Vanderbilt He made one desperate effort to retrieve his fortunes tried to see the old Commodore in vain, tried to borrow money from his former friends in vain and then, in despair, about four o'clock one afternoon, left Wall street foreyer. He never entered "the street" again; took to drinkin' more heavily than ever; "disappeared" at last, then turned up as a tramp and "revolver," or station-house lodger,go the rounds of the station-houses, and is now, I believe dead. Such was the career of a man who was once a king of the street, but who was "wiped out." There are more "kings" who are yet to be "wiped out'.' Vigilantes Organized. We have mentioned heretofore the fact that the stock of Mr. Charles Barzee, who resides at Wasco, in this county, had been poisoned, and that suspicion rested upon a certain per son. The following, which we pub lish verbatim, was sent us from Wasco, by Mr. Carleck: January, 22d, 18&L W. E. Carlock and Wife: We, the First Wasco Vigilantes, be ing fully satisfied that you are the parties who poisoned the stock'4 be longing to Charles Barzee, hereby give you notice to leave the county of Wasco within three days fiom date 9 a. m., Jan., 22d, 1SS4, and never be found within the limits of said coun ty thereafter. If found within said county after 9 a. m. Jan. 25th, swift and sure will be the justice visited upon you. First Wasoo Vigilantes. P. S. There will be a close guard kept over you during these three days. Dalles Times-Mountaineer. Nothing Remarkable About That Blinks "I see by the papers that there is a clock in the postoffice in Monmouth, Oregon, which was brought across the plains in 1852, and has been running ever since " Minks "No thing remarkable about that" Blinks "Nothing remarkable!" Minks "No. I crossed the plains in 1852." Blinks "Well, what of that? This clock was taken across the plains in that year and has been running ever since." Minks "Exactly. That clock was probably with our party. We were attacked by the Indians, and I don't urnnrlnr if lina Imati rnnninir nror Thomas H. Williams, Jr., of Stock ton, CaL, having begun to buy cats with the purpose of exterminating the gophers that are laying waste the fields of alfalfa on Union Island, the Sacramento Union tells a pertinent cat stery: Shortly after the discov ery of the Comstock mines an old gentleman was unable to meet a mortgage of $1,500 on his place on Mormon Island. A stranger, stop ping at his door, saw several pretty kittens playing in the yard. Ho said: "Those cats, if you had them on the Comstock, would bring you S20 apiece." The old man saddled his horse, and for the next fortnight rode from house to house, farm to farm, and village to village, begging and buying cats. He got 500 and sold them on the Comstock, and after ho had paid off his mortgage and put in bank 8500 clear, he told his neigh bors why he had wanted cats. They no longer deemed him crazy on cats.
