From Treier she went to Dusseldorf,
where she became acquainted with the
Heine family and so enraptured young
Heinrich Hcine with her songs, that he
celebrated her in the following verses:
Still think of the magic fair one,
How on her first my gances fell!
How her dear tones resounded swectly.

of those unfortunate hours which crept

We have learned from the conversa-

the significance of such living g-dead
person is for it's family. Such scenes
were by no means of unusual occurrence
The living peasant woman had been dead
to her family since ten years, and all
that time the elements of wrath and
anger hovered over that house, so that
the least aggravation caused fermenta-
tion of the most bitter sentiments.
He who knows the pecuiarities of
human nature, and especially those of
the Jews, will easily comprehend that
Magdelene, the peasant woman, was not
as much hated in the house Of the vii
lage Jew as a Catholic, or as one who
had forsworn the faith Of her fathers
but she was hated like a suicide who
cuts his own vein to shed his blood, or
hangs stone around his own neck to
destroy his life in the depths of the
water-the life of which he is the pos
SCISSOR, but not the owner, which belong
ed to others more than to himself
They were angry with her, like with one
who had been reared in love, mercy and
deep attachment, but who reciprocated
by showing derisive and provokingly
disgusted face to her benefactors.

Terrible Hurricane and Earthquake
at Elmira. N. Y.

ELMIRA. September 25.-A terrible hurri-
cane struck this city this afternoon at 4:30,
accompanied by severe storm of rain. A
vast amount OF damage was done in about
two minutes, the duration of the storm.
Entire roofs with their heavy timbers were
blown hundreds of feet. The Rathburn
House was 1nroofed. The spire of Hedding
Methodist Church was blown across the
street into a yard. About two tons of
brick were deposited in the organ of the
First Presbyterian Church. Several brick
buildings had holes blown clear through
them, scattering the bricks IN
all directions. The river bank is full
Of the debris of roofs blown from
buildings, including chimneys. Immense
oak, elm and maple trees were snapped at
the roots like pipes TENS. Almost every
street is impossible from the trees blown
across them. Workmen are busy with axes
and teams, clearing away the ruins, and the
firemen have been called out to care for en-
dangered buildings. Mr.. s. A. Manwearing
was blown from his buggy and seriously in
jured. The spire of church was blown upon
house adjoining and crushed it in, fortu-
nately iDjurfng no one. The roof of the
palace car shops was blown clear over the
freight Office several hundred feet. The
streets were full Of people, and the greatest
CONSERVATION prevailed. The storm was
preceded by an earthquake, and now there
is perfect calm The rain fell SO heavily
that the pipes were insufficient to carry off
the water, and immense damage was done
to furniture by water entering the houses
The damage in this city alone will reach
thousands OF dollars.

before the country with a flourish of
trumpets, and the details of their trans
actions scattered far and wide through
the public press. In order to make
thorough work Of it new prosecuting
officer was employed, who was said to be
possessed of unusual skill in criminal
laws, and a man of uncommon vigor
and promptness in the discharge of his
duties. The administration was claim

have earned it for its improvement over
the preceding one. Time went on, but
nothing was done to bring the offenders
to justice. The court and juries sus-
pended their functions, and there
was general scatteratlon of the per-
sons accused to parts unknown.
This dilatory conduct attracted wide
attention, and the people began
to wonder why the wheels of justice
moved so slowly. Then went dispatches
in the form of 'official bulletins" all
over the country, that when the court
should reassemble in the fall swift and
sure and exemplary punishment would
be administered. and with an impartial
hand. The country was patient and in

Facts and Anecdotes About General
Garfield.

Marshal Henry, of Washington city, tells
one or two very interesting incidents re-
lating to the life of the late President
during the few days preceding his murder.
he says:
'T was riding out with the President and
Harry Garfield on the Wednesday night of
that week. The President talked about
great many things. and said a great deal
about his Wife's recent Illness. Speaking
particularly of DIR. Boynton's services
during the hour of Mrs. Garfield's peril, of
the DOCTORS prompt response when sum-
moned by telegraph, and of his untiring
efforts night and day to smeliorate the suf-
fering of the patent, he said, In a tone of
voice which l shall never forget, to his son,
Harry, want you to remember your Uncle
Silas as long as YOU live"
One of the habits of the President for
many years was the writing of q private
diary, and he has left a number of volumes
Of these diaries, which are about six by
eight inches in size. He did most of the
writing IN these himself, though when very
busy he dictated the entries to his secTe-
tary. The last entry he made himself the
night before he was shot. Under the date
July 1st is written: "Brown returned to-
day." and, after few more notes, were the
last words, "Cousin Cordelia died to-day.
Retired at II o'clock"
tary Brown returned from Europe the night
before the President was shot. The "Cou-
sin Cordelia" spoken of was Mrs. Arnold,
who was fatally injured by the accident in
which the late Presidents uncle, Thomas
Garfield, was killed near Cleveland. The
Marshal says the late President has left sew
eral boxes full Of papers and documents,
which will probably be examined some day
and edited for publication.
In some "reminiscences of President Gar
field, contributed to the Boston Journal by
Ben Perley Poore, is the following:
"The short time that the Garfelds occu-
pied the White House before the assassina-
tiOn was continued scene of domestic en-
joYment. Grandma Garfield had, until
she returned to Mentor, an honored place
at the family table, at her sons right hand,
and was always waited on first, whoever
else might be present On the other side of
the President sat Jamie, who was his
fathers pet. Harry, the oldest bov, always
sat next to his mother, and then Miss Mol
lie, who is approaching womsnhood;
then Irwin and little Abram, who is but nine
years of age. Mrs. Garfield is a believer In
good fare, and there was always an abun-
dance of wholesome, nutritious food, with
good coffee, tea and milk. Flowers from
the conservatory adorned the table at every
meal. After dinner President Garfield used
to indulge in a game of billiards, having
promptly restored to it's place the billiard
table banished by Mrs. Hayes. Occasion
ally he would indulge IN a cigar, aud he
was not adverse to glass of champagne or
Rhine wine, or lager beer, although he drank
temperately and without hypocrisy. He
liked as night came on to take gallop on
horseback, and he was fearless rider"

FEARS OF A RESCUE.
Friends of the Captured Missouri
Train Robbers threaten TO Release
Them-BlOOdshed ed Feared.

ST. LOUIS, September 27.-Last night
Governor Crittenden received a telegram
from Independence, stating there was dan
ger of mob breaking into the jail and
rescuing the train robbers confined there,
and asking thatrepeatiDg rifles and ammuni-
tion be sent out at once. A dispatch to-day
says: "Governor Crittenden, accompanied
by eight marshals, arrived at Independence
this morning, and is in attendance at the
trial of Ryan, one of the Glendale train rob
bers. IL is the opinion of the people that
in the event of Ryan's conviction an attempt
eSVill be made to rescue him. Much excite
ment prevails. The court room is crowded,
and the streets are lined with people from
the notorious locality known as Crackers
Neck who watch every movement of the
msrshals with great interest. A detach-
ment of the Craig Rifles is in attendance.
Should a rescue be attempted much blood
shed will ensue.n

CLEVELAND, o., September q. - Mrs.
Garfield, her children and 'Grandma" Gar
field, accompanied by Private Secretary
Brown, General Swain and Colonel Rock
well and their ladies, were driven to the
Union Depot this morning in closed car
riages, where special train had been made
up to take them to Mentor. The train con-
sisted Of a baggage car and the
elegant Pennsylvania Railroad coach that
brought the party from Washington.
They wended Their way quietly through
the crowd that thronged the depot aud en-
tered the car. The ladies were all heavily
veiled,so that they escaped the curious gaze
of the crowd. A few minutes after eleven
o'clock the train started for Mentor.
Crowds stu linger about the psrk, and so
many are continually passing through
the pavilion that a force of police
is necessary to night to pre-
vent confusion and guide the curious
spectators in line. Although the body has
been removed to the cemetery the thousands
of people seem not to tire OF gazing on the
place where the remains lay, and where
most OF the floral decorations, though some
what witbeTed from the heat, are yet left.
Electric, calcium and gas lights still illumi-
nate the scene.

GUITEAU'S TRIAL.
To be Indicted I'm New jersey as a
Precautionary Measure.

RED BANK, N. j., September 27.-The
legal authorities OF Monmouth county had
addressed the Attorney General Of the
State and the Attorney General of the
United States upon the proprIetv of filing
counts before the grand jury of Mon
mouth county, at its meeting next Tuesday,
against Guiteau for the murder of Presi-
dent Garfield. It is held that the waiver OF
a Coroner's inquest by the State
does not deprive the grand jury of this
county of its power to indict and try the
criminal. Also that the criminal law of
New Jersey does not disqualifY a citizen
from serving on a jury simply because he
has expressed an opinion of the case to be
tried. II Attorney General Stockton, of
New Jersey, and Attorney General
MacVeagh consider that the
trial can be held here
the prisoner will be brought to New Jersey.
The County Prosecutor of Pleas, Hon. John
Lanning, of MOnmou b, has decided to file
before the grand jury an Indictment against
Guiteau simply as precautionary measure,
so that IL the Washington authorities deem
1t best to have the trial in New Jersey, there
shall be no gap left for the escape of Gui-
tesu by legal quibbles under the law of the
District of Columbia.

THROWN INTO THE RIVER.
NOVEL ACCIDENT ON THE
CANADA SOUTHERN.
and PIunges a sleeper In the Wa
ter-A Passenger Coach Ralf WaV
OVer-Panie and COnfusIOn-Fears
That All Were Not Rescued.

DETROIT, MICH, September GA pas
senger train of the Canada Southern Rail-
road, due here about one O'Clock this morn
ing, while being transferred across the
river from Amherstberg to Crosse Isle, met
with an accident. The transfer boat was
run with such force against the dock at the
island as to throw forward the sleeper,
which ran along the track on the boat, and
plunged headlong into the water in the
slip. The passenger coach Immediately
behind 1t was also forced forward, and the
forward trucks went over the end of the
boat. The coupling between this coach and
the one behind did not break, however, and
the car hung over the end of the boat at an
angle of forty-five degrees, and one end
just touched the water.
The engines of the boat were at once
reversed, and as It backed away from the
slip, the sleeper, which had fallen into the
water, rose and turned over on its side,
the trucks attached to 1t having gone to the
bottom. All was confusion. The passengers
In the sleeper clung to the side out of the
water, and tried to break through the
windows, and cried for help. Sixty or
seventy Others, who were in
the passenger coach behind,
were panic stricken and rushed pell nell
for the end of the car farthest away from
the water. Some of them clambered out at
the side and fell into the water. Others
OF the passengers, who stood on the deck OF
the boat, saw the danger of those in the
stream and plunged in to rescue them as
soon as possible. The passengers and train
men clambered on the top Of the coach fall
len in the water and broke in the windows,
pulling out the dripping occupants.
When all in sight had been rescued 1t was
found that of the fourteen passengers in
the sleeper three were missing. The dark
ness of the night, the confusion and the
fact that nearly all the passengers were
strangers to each other, make it possible
that all were rescued, but it also leaves
painful uncertainty as to whether there are
not several persons drowned. Six passen-
gers went down with the car, but were res
cued with the exception of a man named
Bloom, who occupied Section IL. A care
ful search for him was made, but he had
not been found at last accounts.

TEXAN OR TENAN. or two Texas
papers appear to wish to revive the ques-
tion whether citizen of Texas should
be called a Texan or Texian. Some
forty years ago the latter term was gen
orally used, but custom has long since
settled down in favor of Texan. There
is no precise rule applicable to the case,
and some smart philologist may yet get
law passed to change the spelling of
the name, as has been done in a neigh
boring State, where ArkansaYg has been
made to take the place of Arkansas.
That State, however, neglected to state
whether its citizens shall be called Ar
kansawers or Arkansawyers. Webster
says sawyer is corruption of saver,
and new law may be necessary to fix
the correct thing as to the name of the
citizens of our sister State, if not for
those of Texas. There was once a
soldier-poet who wrote the word Text
cans in order to make it rhyme with
Mexicans. The San Antonio Times says:
"a number of Arkansians." etc. This
seems to be hardly as fit word as either
Texans or Texans. - GdEosston Nesos.

The yorktown Centennial.

FORTRESS MONROE, VA, September 81
The preparations for the centennial cele-
bration at Yorktown are being pushed for
ward, and will, no doubt, be completed, as
far as the limited means at command will
admit, in ample time. One company of
engineers, in charge of Lieut.. Townsend,
and battery of artillery, under command
of Capt. j. r. Myrick, are now employed in
clearing the grounds for the encampment
of the troops. Capt. L. G. Forsyth, of the
QuarteTm aster's Department, is also on the
grounds arranging for an ample supply of
fuel, forage, etc., and also looking after
the water supply for the encampment.
The arrangements for the accommodation
of visitors, so far as Yorktown is concerned,
are very meagre, and those coming from
distance will have to depend chiefly upon
the steamers upon which they arrive for
meals and sleeping accommodations. There
are but three small hotels in the town, with
accommodations for not more than one
hundred in each.
