llobort M. Me O'lllonis ' died at his
rcsidonco , No. 2500 Carr strcot , nt
liloO on Kridny night , nnd wai buried
from his late homo nt 2 o'clock Sun
day afternoon in Calvary ceniotory.
A Republican reporter viiitud the
house yesterday afternoon nnd found
an inconsolable widow a nd her two
sisters mourning for the lost ono. A
strnngo fact is that tlioy are left in
circumstances far from comlortnble.
As Sir. Me O'lUonis ( bolter known
as Hob O'Hlonis ) was n notable man
in St. Louis , it is lilting that a brief
sketch of 'his ' career bo givon. Ho
was born in 1'onnsylvnnin , and nt the
time of his deatli was sixty-eight
years , five months and a few days old
Contiary to general belief , ho was a
Scotch Presbyterian , or , r.ither ,
ho as a descendant fiom that hardy
class of people , nnd thcro , physically
speaking , a tough ciluon. Ho cnmo
went when quito n youni { man , went
to Mississippi , and then came to St.
Lous , which city ho baa since made
bis permanent homo for forty-livo
years. Hero ho became ncqnninted
with and married nn estimable young
lady , the daughter of a descendant of
n Spanish grandee , who wns a resident
of St. Louts at the time the territory
of Louisiana was a Spanish colony.
Mrs. O'Blcnnis has two sisters living
Mrs. Sylvester Oliontoau ; a widow ,
and Mrs. Win. J. Wood.
"Dob" was a wild rather wayward
youth , full of tire nnd vigor , moro
swayed by impulse than reason , and
consequently wns a very vindictive
enemy and a fraud who would stick
and hang till the last drop of blood
shed. These traits , of course , made
him many vengeful enemies nnd many
fast friends , lie was a man of quick
impulses , nnd it is reported that in
the heat of passion ho
KNIFED A MAN TO DEATH
In Mississippi.
Mr. O'UlcniB , like his subsequent
partner , Erastus Wells , was not an
educated man , but also like him , had
a good hard head full of what is known
as "horso sense. " Ho and a Mr.
Matthews formed a co-partnership
and started the first omnibus line of
the city. Subsequently Mr. Matthews
went out and Erastus Wells , recently
member of congress , and a Mr. Case ,
wont in with 0 Blonis , the linn name
being Case , O'Blonis it Wells. The
latter helped the business along by
driving ono of the 'busses. The line
of omnibuses ran from the court
house up north to Bremen , west to
Rock Springs , the extremity
of the city , and south to Vide Pocho
( see the pocket ) , now Carondolot or
South St. Louis , which at the time
was only a. little French village.
O'Blenis continued to prosuer and be
came quite a favorite with the Ger
mans of the south end of the city ,
but , in an unfortunate moment while
excited with drink and passion , ho
used an axe on a Teuton's head to
such an extent that the latter became
an embecilo nnd subsequently died
from the ett'ects of the injuiics so
said.
said.In
In 1852 or thereabouts ono Judson ,
better known as ! Ncd Buntline , the
author of sensational stories for cheap
publications , who rode on the top
wave of an excitement growing out of
knoxV-nothingism , camera St. Louis
At first O'Blunis took no part in die
hurrah that was gotten up , but subse
quently got to bo a great enthusiast in
the cry of "Americana must rule
America , " and when Bob went into
anything ho went
WITH I1IS W1IOLK IIKART
and soul , the result being that ho was
engaged in moro than ono desperate
scropo braught on by the fpolhardi-
ness of his companions and himself.
Mr. O'Blenis was known for many
years in this city as a desperate char
acter and a gambling man. It is true
that ho was interested in "square"
gambling g.imes for many years , but
ho was never known to play a game
of cards himself , either for amuse
ment or money , and there was never
a p ) or person a sutferor that ap
plied to him for financial aid that did
not receive it. For many winters ho
supplied some twenty-live poor fami
lies with their coal during tlio winter
time , and yet many no-called "sport
ing mem" said ho was an icicle. God
knows , and Ho will judge.
That "Old Bob" was a sport from
A to Izzard is probably better exem
plified by a little incident than any
thing else. Ho would bet on any
thing , even as to which of two files
would ily from the counter first. The
incident , however : A number of
years ago a building on Pine street ,
between Third and Fourth , whore De
Bar's opera house and tlio Theatre
Comiquo were afterward ? ! , was occu
pied by a Gorman aa a beer saloon.
This Gorman owned a stallion ; so ,
also , did O'Blonis. One day ' "
was in the saloon , and tlio relative
qualities of the horaea were discussed ,
each claiming his waa the be * * * f l :
nally , they marked. , * ' " ' estimated
value of the peotivo uiiimuk on
slin "e tllur n"d compared them ,
cinch had marked $ (00. ( Bob then
said : "I'll throw you dice to BOO
which has both horses. "
The Gorman said "All right ; I'll go
you. " Bob went out and soon after
ward appeared with his stallion and
I.BD HIM INTO THK HALOOJf ,
But the German backed out. Bob
said ho bad brought his horse over to
bo raflled for and ho was going to
raflle him oil * forty chances at $10 a
chance. Only one man tookachanco ,
and after waiting KOIIIO time for "drop
ins" and nobody earing to invest ,
Bob said ho would take the'other
thirty-nine chances. Thu two men
throw , the stranger scoring forty-ninoj
Bob throw the remainder of the
chances , but Bob lost his $400 horse ,
consoling himself with the remark :
"Well , stranger , you'd bettor sell him
pretty quick , or he'll cat liiu head oil' ,
as he linn done for me two or three
times. "
As intimated above Mr. O'Blonis
was a man of violent passion , and no
matter whether for good or evil he
gave his feelings full sway. At onetime
time it was stated on pretty good au
thority that ho killed a man by the
name of Smith at the Planters' house ,
but as nothing ever came of it thu
presumption was that the deed waa
justifiable. Subsequently , however ,
there were angry words at the Plan
ters' between him and Mr , Brandt ,
who at the time waa deputy city mar
shal. This was in 185S or ' 54.
O'Blonis claimed that ho was grossly
insulted and went down to his stable ,
next door cast of the present llopnb-
licnn otlice , got his pistol , whont back-
to the drinking-saloonof the hotel and
allot Brandt dond. For this ho wns
arrested , tried , convicted and
HKNTKNCKl ) TO T1IK PKNITKXTl.UlY
For twontyfivo years. After remain
ing there n few months , some extenu
ating circumstances being nmdepatetit
to the then governor Bob StewArt
ho wnsgnxntod n pardon. Some years
later a frequenter of his sporting-
house expressed his intention of kill
ing some ono on sight , when Bob
quietly remarked : "Well , I used to
bo a d n fool , but 1'vo got over it ;
you can go nnd do your killing if you
want to , but for my part , 1'vo been
through the mill and don't want anymore
moro of it in mine ; it has cost mo half
a dozen fortunes. "
On the nth of July , 1801 Mr.
O'BlcntiH received a severe paralytic
stioke , from which ho pnrtinlly recov
ered , but afterwards had four other
strokes , which rendered him a com
plete cripple. Notwithstanding this
his firmness of will and tenacity of
purpose was such that , with the aid
of a crutch nnd a cane , ho managed
to hobble around the streets until a
little moro than a year ago , when ho
wns compelled to keep his room ,
but oven then he would half fall ,
half slide out of bed , nnd on his
hands and knees dr.ig himself about
the room rather than put his devoted
wife to any additional trouble.
The immediate cause of the death
of Mr. O'Blenis was apoplexy. Al
though ninny wjll say ho wns n had
man , theiu are hundreds of oilier
poor people who will say ho was a
kind-hearted gentleman , full of
rou > > h words , but with his purse-
strings relaxed.

A LOIIB Study of Fair Forms ill the
Turkish Bath.

A heavy red curtain hung to the
lloor between two women. The
ncgrcps utsido pushed it slightly and
looked into the stall. She saw hang
ing from .hooks at either side nnd over
th shelved mirror the principal essen
tials of the female liguro. Thq"corner
stone of this structure drew together
behind n wooden stool. >
"Plcaso don't. ' " >
"I suppose you don't know rfliat to

"No. " %
"Why , just strip and wrap jiip in
that there sheet on the stool. Then
coma out untUI will toll you. " V
Presently emerged thence some
thing very similar to Bernhardt's "vis
ion of death , " whereat the attendant
opened another door with :
' 'Hero's another hury. " /
It was in the Turkish bath of , Sev
enth street. Not long ago Claratk'lle ,

gave a most flattering description of
