DAILY COURIER i- TTnrmTl QTT VTi RV Passiko Cooxturfeit Coin. Jesse Hammond, on Saturday Dight, araested a man who gave his name as J. C. Allen, on the charge of passing a counterfeit 2 gold piece on an tip-town coSee house keeper. No other bogus mouey was found iu his possession, we are informed.

For 'the Louisville Post Prandial Beading. "Much depends upon lohen and where vou read book. In the five or six impatient moment's before the dinner is quite ready, who -would think of taking up the Fairy Queen, for a stop-gap, or volume of Bishop Andrews?" Lamb. There are certain books for certain hours and places, and that which would be a delight at one time, would, at another, be as soporific as a good old fashioned sermon on a summer day, or as irritative as the phillippics hurled against our favorite "institution" or partizau. We assert a mere truism.

A huge tome of Lord Bacon's, which we could pleasantly and improvingly read, inhaling the fresh morning air, we would utterly repudiate at the meridiau hour. While, in the long, sultry noons, when Sirius reigns, and the leaves do not rustle, nor the rose petals fall, how deliciously refrigeratwe is Bayard Taylor's "Northern Travel." Are not Dickens' tender Christmas stories to be read by the soft light of the lamp, while the home group is gathered around the fireside? There are certain volumes peculiarly appropriate and pleasant for the after-dinner hours. Who then, JEFFER80N CRIMINAL COUET. Hon. P.

B. MCIR, Judoe. Saturday, Oct. 30, 1358. Tna Case of White Charged with Muhdee.

A jury was selected in the case of J. V. White, charged with the murder of Mike Hannan, and several witnesses for the commonwealth examined. The counsel for the defense then made a motion for the postponement of the trial, on account of the absence of witness Sam. McHugh, an important witness.

Judge Muir required an affidavit, which stated that the defense would prove by said witness that Hurmun was the aggressor in the affair which resulted in his death! The materiality of the testimony was undoubted and the judge ordered the jury discharged. Subsequently the counsel for the defence made a motion that the accused be admitted to bail, as his case (in the opinion of the defense) could not possibly be made more than manslaughter. Mr. Craig, for the Commonwealth, said be did not resist the motion, and tbe court fixed the bail at $2,000. It has not yet been given.

We are daily treating and filling teeth of this class that comes in to be extracted. In no case do we disfigure a tooth by filing to fill it, using other and better means than the indiscriminate use of the file. Aoy tooth can be filled with gold that la worth filling at all.

Reading Matter on every page, Louisville The ate r-t-Ch axqe is the Management. We are gratified to announoe that our old friend, and the favorite Of the Louisville public, Mr. Geo. Melius, re-appears as manager of the Louisville theater a position be filled years ago with credit to himself, satisfaction to the patrons of the drama, and profit to the lessee. In his career here, Mr.

Melius, by his universal cleverness us a man, and tact and judiciousness as a manager, secured the friendship and commendation of all who knew him. "We doubt that any one in a similar position ever won suelttrue and lasting friends, and as many of them. The patrons of the drama will warmly welcome bak Melius to a place he will fill so well. We are glad to know iji the changing that may occur in the inauguraticii of a new management, our old friend, genial! jack Lorton, continues as stage manager. In tfiat capacity, Jack Lorton is peer to the best in th land, while as an actor his general excellence isi proverbial among those who appreciate good acting.

Mr. the eminent tragedian, commences an engagement to-night, and appears in his admired character of "Hamlet." Miss Ida Vernon personates Ophelia, and Lorton Polon-ius." The cast otherwise is quite good. The jEFFEnsoxviiiH" Febry. This ferry is a monopoly, and the proprietors should try to meet the wants of the public, or at least advertise, their, running arrangements, so that travelers need not be delayed orj disappointed. On Saturday evening one of th ferry boats, the Blark Locust, ceased ruuuiugSand tied up at the Jeffer-suurille shore before 5 o'clock, leaving a dozen or more foot passengers, a horseman, a buggy, and a couple of wagons on the shore, where they were compelled to await the arrival of the other ferry boat, which had not left theKentucky shore when she laid up." By this arrangement these passengers were delayed over an hour in their arrival iu Louisville, which was a serious disappointment to several, as well as a great inconvenience, to say nothing of the vexatious delay and exposure to the unpleasant weather that evening.

The proprietors and managers of the ferry cannot certainly be aware of this tying up arrangement so early iu the afternoon, and that too when passengers were on the ferry dock some lime awaiting the arrival of that boat. Sales ok By referring to our commercial summary, it will be seen that the inspections and sales of tobacco during the year have amounted to hogsheads, with a stock on hand in warehouses, not yet inspected or sold, of 2i5 hogsheads, makings total ot 19,170 hogsheads, against 9,012 hogsheads the previous year. The tobacco year commences on the 1st of November, and ends with the 31st of October, and, of course, the new year begins to-day. The new crop promises to be not only a full average one, but the quality is expected to be very fine, and we have no doubt that the inspections, at the close of the year, will sum up "20,000 hogsheads. Great Sale op Stock.

The horse stock of G. Drummond Hunt, at his public sale, in Fay ette, on Thursday, commanded very high prices. IJis old premium mare Highlander, fourteen years old, brought 602; her sucking colt, by Edwin Forrest, $405; her two year old colt, by Membrino Chief, 305. A yearling stallion colt, by Edwin Forrest, out of Ellen, by Berthune, and EUen out of the Highlander mare, brought $615. Ellen was retained by Mr.

Hunt. Several fine geldings were sold at prices ranging from $1SS to $310. Sucking mules sold for $112, and one pair ot broke mules at 305. Criminal. Cotrit.

The Coldmbus Suicide. The telegraph told us on Thursday morning of a tragic affair at Columbus, Indiana, which equals or surpasses the most terrific denoument of a melo-drama.

A suitor in a court of justice, in a frenzy of disappointment at an unfavorable verdict, draws a pistol, and kills himself right in the court house, before the judge, bar, jury and spectators. The Columbus Democrat thus describes the affair, and the causes that led to it On Wednesday last, at the court room, soon after the meeting of court in tho afternoon, one of the most terrible tragedies was enacted that ever transpired in a court of justice, or indeed anywhere else. It appears that a judgment had sometime since been obtained against William Mewherter, an old and well known citizen of this county, and that an execution had been issued upon it against his property, but the sheriff not being able to find anything to satisfy the execution, had returned it unsettled. The plaintiff believed that Mewherter had property which ought to he applied to the payment of his judgment, instituted proceedings "in the Circuit Court, lo charge the body of Mewherter in execution, under the statute of the State, and the irial came on at this term of the Circuit Court, Judge Spencer presiding. A jury was empan-uelled to try the question whether Mewherter had concealed his property, contrary to law, which ought to have gone to pay this debt.

It seems that many witnesses were examined on both sides, and after a thorough and tedious trial and investigation of the case, at about 3 o'clock, P. the jury returned into court a verdict finding that ho had in hands unaccounted for, over ten thousand dollars. At the time of the announcement of the verdict, the court room was densely crowded. Mewherter took a position to tho right of the judge's desk, in front and between the jury box and the judge, and there, in pursuance to his oft repeated declaration, took bis own life, by shooting himself through the breast. L'pon tho discharge ot the pistol he sprang into the air and fell dying upon the floor.

Much excitement was the result of this terrible denouement unexpected to many, unlooked for by all. Court immediately adjourned over to Thursday. Amid the excitement, there seems to be a disposition with a few to censure this one and that one, but from what we have been able to learn in reference to it, we da not understand that any blame, any way, justly attaches to the either to the court, jury, or counsel. He leaves, we learn, it wife and two small children, to mourn his untimely and terrible end. With them we sincerely sympathise.

Fearful Casualty Five Men Hurt One Killed. About two o'clock, yesterday afternoon, the roof of a three story house, owned by R. M. Bryan, in course ol erection Dy the Sextons, on Washington avenue, near the junction of Seventeenth street, gave way and fell, pressing the four walls out, and completely taking off the third story. Fire persons at work at the building, were more or less injured.

David Messer, a carpenter, who was at work on the outside, had his attention called to the accident by receiving a severe wound on the forehead from the fall of a brick. Before he could get out of the way, he was hurt slightly on the left arm and hip. Four slaters, in the employ of P. Naughton, who were engaged at the time on the roof, were precipitated with it tu the rafters below, a fall of ten or twelve feet. Thos.

Hayden was injured on the hips, but not severely. Peter Riley sustained some bruises on the arms and r. cut on the forehead. Thomas Gagan had one of his feet almost severed by falling on the sharp point of a piece of slate. He was also otherwise injured to such an extent, indeed, that it was found expedient to send him to the City Hospital.

He -died in about. ten- minutes after his arrival, from loss of blood. Michael Ilermady had his chin horribly mashed, both jaw bones broken, his teeth knocked out, and his legs and arms very badly bruised. He was conveyed to the Sister's Hospital, almost speechless. The casualty seems to have been owing to the fact that the roof was not properly braced, and to the want of "collar ties" and "ridge boards." It was stated to us by persons on the ground that there was very little nailing or binding of any kind iu the rafters.

The hrst giving way that was noticed at the ridge of the roof. The upper story had nothing but a nine-inch wall. It will have to be rebuilt altogether. St. Louis Republican Saturday.

The AsiiiiiiCAX Fraud in Russia. Mr. Thos. Winans, of Baltimore, who built the great railway between Moscow and St. Petersburg, has published a card with reference to the alleged frauds in the construction of the road.

Mr. W. says I assert that the statement itself, and every insinuation of fraud or unfair dealing by the American company alluded to, is false in the whole and iu every particular. Nor do I for a moment credit the declaration that any error has beeu discovered in the length of the railroad track between St. Petersburg and Moscow.

The line of the road has been so repeatedly surveyed, both before and since it was built, and by different parties, as to preclude the possibility of such a mistake or such a fraud. But, besides this, the route of the road had been surveyed by Russian engineers, and its cost ascertained under such surveys long before Major Whistler or any other Americon engineer had been employed, or had anything to do with the road long before the presence of any of the American Company referred to in Russia, and, of course, before they had anything to do with the road. And when it is borne in mind that the railroad is so located as to follow the line of a turnpike built half a century or more ago, and without any considerable deviation, and whose length must have been a matter cf familiarity to the government and the people, it will appear almost impossible that a discrepancy of sixty miles could have existed without attracting attention, and, if fictitious or fraudulent, leadiug to an investigation and exposure. Capt. W.

E. Simms. following is an extract from a letter dated at West Liberty, Morgan county, addressed to the editor of the Maysville Express, the organ of the Democracy of the ninth congressional district: The name of Wm. E. Simms, in connection with the position of Lieut.

Governor, takes with the Democracy here as if by magic. They have not forgotten the noole part he acted rescuing from the thraldom of Know Nothingism. They are too grateful to forget the memorable contest in the darkness and blackness of sectionalism seemed to throw a pall of gloom over the Union, and to threaten the very citadel of our liberty. Then it was that the noble, the true Simms, was found among the high hills of Kentucky, with his thrilling eloquence warning the steady and nnweary yeomanry of the mountains of the impending danger that overhung our roud republic. It should ne inspiring to every emocrat of Kentucky, tokuow that the name of such a man will be before the Democratic convention of the Sth of January next, for nomination as a candidate for this office.

His manly, fervid eloquence and great ability, will give strength to our ticket; and his promotion to the position of Lieutenant Governor of the State, will be an honor to our proud old commonwealth, and shed a halo of glory around the Democratic partv.

Clark has produced a favorable impression in both States. I am glad of it, for our ministers of late have not been liable to this encomium. for the learned disquisitions, metaphysics, or the mysteries of the occult sciences? Our mood is changeful. Tbe most delightful volume wins only a cursory reading. We would, like the bee, fly from flower to flower, gathering sweets from every honeyed blossom.

It is an October evening the sun shines radi-ently, flashing gleams of light on the autumn-tinted foliage, and the few "last roses of summer." The dinner is over it was a good one capital Are we tired of dreaming, castle-building, even the dolce jar triente of the hour? Then let us leave the drawing-room, and enter the library. Let us close the Venetian blinds, and soften the light. Here is a good old easy chair, (a benediction ou all "easy let us draw it to the window, and ensconce ourselves in its wide-spreading arms. Gently, pleasantly, the autumn wind steals in at the half-closed blind, cooling our cheeks, still flushed by the Lachryma Christi'. How shall we begin our alternoon reading? Here is a well-worn volume.

We can reach it, as we indolently recline "Elia's Essays." Are we still impressed with the merits of some favorite dish which graced the table. Let us turn to the eloquent dissertation on "Roast Pig," and thank Heaven for such a champion of a creature comfort." Has the plum pudding left a heaviness we fain would laugh away? Then let us read that facetious, sparkling essay on Imperfect Sympathies" and we may add the chapter on "My Relations." In the latter.what beautifully drawn pictures, with those fine Shandian lights and shades," the true artist alone cau give. Are we in a half-dreaming state, thinking more of the ideal than the real world? Then how pleasantly will chime in with our mood, that exquisitely beautiful dream, "The Child Angel." Doe3 a pleasant sadness diffuse itself over our spirits Then how tenderly we dwell on the sufferings of the poor Christ's Hospital" boy. We have given an hour to Lamb, and the last essay has left a half melancholy we would dis pel. Shall we take up "Don Quixote," and laugh foivthe thousandth time over the perils of the chiv-alric knight and his faithful Esquire? Here is a volume better suited to the hour.

We will surreptitiously devour its contents, never heeding the moments that pass so swiftly, as we read the wondrous travels of "Guliirer." Shall we not plead guilty to a decided ptncnaiit for this classic work? Our mood is versatile. On a blank leaf of a favorite book is copied this quaint touching ballad: for a touch of tbe vanished hand" that traced the faint penciling!) Let us chant it, to the music of the autumn wind, ere we open the volume: THE SANDS OF DEE. Mary, go and call the cattle home, And call the cattle home, And call the cattle home, Across the Sflnds of Dee:" Tie western wind was wild and dark wi' foam, Ail alone went she. Tiie western tide crept up along the sand, And o'er and o'er the sand, And round and round the sand, As far as eye could see The roiling mist came down and hid the land, And never home came she. "Oh!" is it weed, or fish, or floating hair, A trees, o' golden hair, A drowned maiden's hair, Above the nets at sen? Was never salmon yet that shoDe so fair Among the stakes on Dee.

They rowed her iu across the rolling foam, The cruel, crawlirg foam, The cruel, hungry foam, To her grave the sea: But still the boatmen hear her call the cattle home, Across the sands of Dee! Is it not a fitting prelude to this beautiful story of "Undine?" Exquisite creation! delicious poem (is it not full of poetry?) tender story of woman's love, and faith, and truth! How in its mystic charm and sweet naturalness Gentle, trusting, faithful Undine, type of all that is good aud beautiful iu woman, what tears wc shed at thy sad fate And now our mood is sorrowful, let us cursorily read another love story as sweet and sad as this old German tale "Raphael," not a rapid translation, but the story told in Lamartine's own vernacular. The French is a very sweet language for sentiment. Is not this the history of a beautiful love, angel-like in purity and trust, and self-abuegation? Bow we pity and reverence the fair, foud Julie! We can not clearly read the last pages, the closing sceues of tbe beautiful young life a dimness of tears shadows our eyes. Cau wo doubt that love like this, will be perfected in joy, crowned with rapture immortal in the spirit world And now we have read these two love tragedies, and musing on the usual fatality of those consecrated to the tender passion, we recall the apposite little poem which came this summer with the early flowers: "The course of true love never did run smooth." It is a tiny volume, brim full of beautv and fragrance, and sadness. Poor izier, so near, aud yet so far from the beautiful "Abbassa," with the "star-sweet" face, do you wonder he was disloyal to the grand Caliph, rather than disloyal to love and nature? These heart-histories are saddening shall we leave them, and go wandering with the most delightful tourists, who ever crossed the seas, or lingered on consecrated ground? Who has not felt the intoxicating beauty, the seductive gorge-ousness of the Howadji's "Nile Aud now, while we read, "the amorous, odorous wind breathes low between the sunset and the moon," and a very delicious dreaminess steals over us.

The Orient "lotus fragrance blows outward from that name, and steeps us in blissful dreams." Entranced we wander through the dusky palm-groves, listening to the sweet, sad, voluptuous song of the trees, that "wave ia the low moonlight wind." Through the nargileh clouds, we see the witching Ghazeeyah, euveloped in the rosy, misty radiance of oriental dress, and palpitating iu the mazes of the passionate dance. With the llowadji, we offer homage to the mystic Mem-non, who sitsgand and regal, "throwedupon ruined Thebes;" and we gaze upon the Sphinx, that "breaths mysteries more magical, aud rarer romances of the mountains of the moon aud the Nile sources, than ever Arabian imagination dreamed." What charmed memories tor a lifetime this hour's reading has given us! What sparkling images of the Nile the golden sunset, the tropical moonlights, the "ros' pyramids," the dove-eyed Xenobi the fascination, the richness, the voluptuous beauty of life in the East! Oh! the delicious languor, the luxurious repose, the wildering enchantment, that enthrals us now It is sad to come out of "Egypt, that dreamland, that tropical trance!" And'yet it is dangerous to linger longer in such seductive scenes. Here is a volume of Tennyson. Let us read Locksley Hall." There is no oriental sweetness, subtle and intoxicating, in this. But it is a noble poem, earnest and soulful, and we feel ourselves better and truer for what we have read.

And now we will turn to some of the exquisite little songs, treasured in every heart. This wild dirge-hke sea song, wailing as the wave-sighs Is it not touchingly beautiful? Ah! how sadly comes to our hearts the poetic aphorism The tender grace of a day that is dead, Will never come back to me." Here is the sweet lullaby tbe mother sings to her half-sleeping child "Sweet and low, sweet and low, Wind of the western sea Low, low. breathe and blow, Wind of the western eea O'er the rolling waters go, Come from the dying moon, and blow, Blow him again to me I While my little one, while my pretty one sleeps." Ah! let us breathe it softly, it is hallowed now Where is the fair little one we pressed to our bosom and soothed with the simple air? There is no need to chant the soft song by the tiny grave, where the daisies grow very quietly. The little sleeper is resting there. How tenderly, yet sorrowfully, we go back to the past, with its treasured memories.

We are thinking now of tbe last time we sang the sweet song, striving to soothe the little sufferer; how we kissed the flushed cheek, and put back the waving hair from the fevered brow; how we prayed Heaven it might not be; aud how the song grew into a wild wailing, a mourning requiem, as the quick short breathing ceased, and the dark eyes peacefully closed, and the little child slept his last sleep. Ah', it is a little song to call up this beautiful picture, draped in mourning. Now we will close the book. The tears linger blindingly, and we cannot read. The deep solemn moonlight has come on; the autumn wind breathes softly and sadly, and the angel chorister sings songs of peace, and love, and trust to our yearning hearts.

1'ORA. Bell Released. Horace Bell reached here about 9 o'clock yesterday evening. His bail was fixed by the examining magistrates in Brandenburgh at $750, which was given by. citizens of that place, when Bell was released, and, in company with some of his Indiana friends, came up on the first boat.

As soon as his arrival became known, a large crowd gathered together, and insisted upon his going to the theater at Woodward Hall, where he was brought ups-u the stage, and made a few remarks, though evidently laboring under ureal embarrassment. The play was Horace BellJ in which Miss Denin performed the part of the hero. We are assured that Mr. Bell'3 appearance on the stage was entirely repugnant to his feelings, but that be was in forced lo it by tbe importunities of the crowd, by whom he was vociferously cheered. isoggs.

Larcenv. Nol. pros. Tne Illinois Canvass. The politicians of Illinois are in the agonies of their "last words" to the voters, before the conclusion of the long, stormy, exciting and important canvass of that State, which has been regarded with solicitude by all intelligent men in the nation, and is within a few days of its close.

The sensation throughout the State is excessive, for the result is from every point of view doubtful, and personal feelings to a remarkable degree, enter into the contest. Senator Douglas has made such exertions for his re-election to the Senate as but few meu have the capacity to make. His excellent constitution, powerful brain and intense vitality, have been taxed to the utmost, and he haa lavished money like a profligate prince. It is asserted, aud the authority is tolornbly good, that he borrowed one hundred thousand dollars in New York upon real estate mortgages, which sum he propsed to invest in his re-election to tlx-Senate. It is alleged that he has hired phonographic reporters to accompany him up and down the State, and write down the words of his speeches, and give accounts of his reception at "various points; and that ho has paid the compostion bills of newspapers, to give his words and his ovations the permanency and publicity ot print; and that he has employed musicians, chartered trains, aud attached to his suite a six-pouuder to thunder of his presence wherever he might appear; aud that he has beeu busily engaged in importing votes into the doubtful counties.

He has certaiulv spoken many times, more than a hundred times, we presume, with a very considerable degree of force and effect; and has drawn vast crowds aud caused a marked popular excitement iu nearly ererv county of the whole State. His speeches have, however, been wanting in some of the essentia! elements of great, strikiutr, and decisivo forsenic efforts. He has not been quite sure of the ground upon which he has stood, and a variety of causes have combined to circumscribe and' embarrass the scope and aim of his utterances. While on the- test question between the parties of the country, he had been in Congress, with the Republicans, fighting in ftont of the battle, positively the recognised leader in the assaults upon the administration, he found himself, in his Illinois struggle, face to face in deadly hostility with the Republicans, and constrained to stand by and make the most of his Democracy while the head of the Democratic party, the President, was bitterly opposed to him, aiid bringing all the power of his almost boundless patronage, to operate against him, opened a gailiug fire in the rear." Mr. Douglas hoped for Republican votes, to make up for those of which the warfare of the President had deprived him.

and was therefore cautious how he a sailed the Republicans; and, dependent upon Democratic supnoi he felt it un safe to make a clean breast of the feeiings of wrath and vengeance against tbe official head of the Democratic parly which rankled in his heart, For these reasons, his labors in Illinois since tbe close of the last session of Congress, constant, earnest, and desperate as they have been, have not added to his fame as a crushing debater, and persuasive stump speaker. He found it necessarv-to make his fight upon a narrow platform one from which he could appeal to Democrats, Republicans, Americans, and Old Line Whigs for aid aud comfort. Cm. Com-. Tragedy in California.

Tuylor, mentioned in the following article, was the second of Penn Johnston in his late duel with Ferguson San Francisco, Sept. 24. About 4 o'clock this afternoon, John Travers, owner of coaches, went into the shooting gallery of A. J. Taylor, alias Natchez," to examine a pistol Taylor went behind the counter, took a loaded improved Colt's revolver, with hair trigger, from the case, cocked and handed it to Travers and then taking an empty one himself, while ex-Justice Chamberlain picked up a derringer.

A conversation ensued on the merits of the weapons; Travers commenced examining the spring, and touching the trigger by accident, the pistol went off, and Taylor fell back against the shelving with a ball in the brain. He breathed about five miu- utes. The ball entered through the upper lip, nearly under the nose, passed upwards and lodged iu tbe biics of the head. Travers was taken into custody. Taylor wasaeared in Louisiana.

He is said to have no relatives at the present time. The name of "Natchez" has become well known throughout the State, from his connection with nearly overdue! of importance that has taken place about the city for years, both parties nhvays agveeini: to use his pistols, and getting him to load them. Though an upholder of, the code, he was Dot of a belligerent disposition, but quite the reverse, and of such honesty that many of his neighbors for years deposited money in his safe. Various packages are there at present with the owners names marked on them. A night or two ago, while talking of the Johnston and Ferguson affair, he said he would never load another pistol for a duel.

His body is laid out in the house of the Monumental Engine Company. I now learn there were no caps ou the pistol. Travers was cocking it, when the hammer slipped and struck fire. Fight Between the "Benicia Boy" and "Dublin Tricks" The Latter Badly Beaten. About 12 o'clock last night Heeuan, one of the principals in the late prize fight, entered the barroom of the Lafayette Hall, "in Broadway, whioh was crowded at the time.

He had been there several times during the evening, apparently quest of some one. He made Ids wav towards the billiard room, in the rear of the barroom, and called for Jerry Bryant, who immediately followed Heenan towards the bar, where Wm. "Hastings one of the seconds of Morns- sey, and several of his friends were drinking. Heenan took a position at the side of "Dublin Tricks" at tho bar, and asked him whether he had ever made any remarks derogatory to his (flee-nan's) character as a tighter. "Tricks" replied that he had nut.

Hcenau immediately replied "You lie; (coupling it with an expletive,) Ihave' a witness;" and immediately followed the remark with a tremendous slap ou the side of Hasting's head, which nearly knocked him down. Adas-perate rough-and-tumble fight then ensued some of the crowd endeavoring to part them, and others being favor of letting them fiKht it out -which resulted Heenan giving Hastings a. dreadful beating, it eventually becoming necessary to take Heenan off by main force. Basting's face was dreadfully cut, and he was otherwise badly injured, and was forced to retreat behind the counter to escape Heenau's fury. The police now rushed in with a large crowd of the "fancy when Heenan quietly retreated through the bi'l-lard room and made his escape.
