AN OLD WALL STREET BOSS.
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,

erfvfl vnn ft trial." and r ha two Trior. f ? 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.

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

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.
