WILHELM MAY VISIT US.


BERLIN, Sept 13.-Mr. William
Steinway's interview with Emperor
William, which took place Sunday,
was originally fixed for day in June.
The emperor inquired particularly in
regard to the growth of Socialism in
America, and concerning the Home
stead riots, and expressed his satisfac-
ton when told that the sound sense of
the American people was not conducive
to the growth of Socialism.
Mr.. Steinway referred to the social
and political Importance of the Ger
mans in America. While loval in
their land of adoption, he said. they
still loved the fatherland, and they
would greet the Kaiser to Chicago With
boundless enthusiasm.
The Emperor replied my going
to Chicago is not at all impossible. y
The Emperor referred to the many
talented American musical students
in Berlin, and said that there were
also some prominent painters among
the Americans, from one Of whom. an
artist named Weeks, he had lust
bought picture.
Some of the Berlin papers call upon
the Government To deny that the EN-.
peror will visit the Chicago Fair. The
Vossiche Zeitung, in particularly
venomons article, decries the impor-
tance of the Chicago Worlds Fair
and saws ''the dra ac'ical Yankee.

FIVE MORE STEAMERS
Added to the Fleet in Quarantine, Three
From Hamburg.

LEwEs, Del, September l0.-Five
big steamers were added to the fleet
here yesterday. One at least will be
indefinitely detained and all will be
thoroughly fumigated before they will
be permitted to pass quarantine. The
arrivals are Locketive. with rags, the
Catania, and Lucina with general car
goes, all from Hamburg, the British
tanker Bayonne, in Ballast from Hull,
and the big Allen liner Manitoban,
with a general cargo, from Glasgow.
The Locketive, which has ISL bales
of rags abroad, will be held with the
Kate Fawcett to await orders from
Washington as to the disposition of
the rags. The tanker Bayonne will be
allowed to pass up as soon as she has
discharged her ballast and fills her
tanks with water. The Catania and
Lucina will also be permitted to pass
up after fumigation. The Manitoban
is in good condition with her crew all
well when she reached Halifax. She
had six cabin passengers, but rather
than take any chances on tedius
quarantine they left the ship there and
will continue their journey overland.
Just as soon as the Manitoban can be
fumigated she will be permitted to
pass quarantine.

RoBBING AND IMPRIsoNING PROMINENT
CITIZENS.

Weaver had a number Of law-abid-
| ing citizens arrested and put in jail
and then charged them from one hum
dred dollars to $500 for releasing them.
There were no charges against them.
Several Of the gentlemen who were
put in jail and paid the money are
still living, amoung them is DR.. J. G..
Roberts, one of the most highly re-
spected citizens in Pulaski.
FONDNEss FOR HORSE FLESH.
Weaver had fondness for horse
flesh, and whenever he found horse
belonging, as he called it, to "rebel
sympathizer," he took possession of it
without giving any voucher for it, and
if the owner valued it very highly and
did not wish to part with it, he charged
him from one to fye hundred dollars,
according to the value Of the horse,
for returning it to its owner This
money he put into his own pocket.
Weaver was terror not only to the
male portion of our people, but was
loathed and despised by the women.
and children for his brutal conduct.
He was regarded by all respectable
as an outlaw and unscrupu-
lous scoundrel, perfectly destitute of
every ingredient that it takes to con
stitute a gentleman.
Any Southern man who would vote
for such man as 10. Weaver, the
Peoples Party candidate for the pres
idency, after reading this record,
ought to be imprisoned for life and fed
on vinegar and pumpkin seeds the re-
Of his days.--Giles Cotnty

DISTRESSED OVER THEC CHANGE

Loon LAKE, n. Y, Sept 14.-Presi-
dent Harrison is very anxious about
the condition of Mrs. Harrison and has
been at her bedside nearly the entire
day. The members of the Presidents
household share his deep concern and
alarm, and all are evidently apprehen-
sive of continuance of the present
unfavorabl symptoms. They are do
ing their utmost to cheer Mrs. Harrison
and have succeed SO well that she is
not fully aware of the extreme gravity
of her case.
Mrs. Harrison rested comfortable
yesterday and Dr. Gardner, who was
in constant attendance upon her said
b ere h Id been slight m
provement. DR.. Dougherty, the New
York specialist, is expected to ar
rive soon. He will, be brought from
Malone on q special train. Dr..
Doughterty saw Mrs. Harrison several
times while she was in Washington
and his examination will reveal the e3-
act changes which have occurred in
her case since that time. $500 s
The family prefer to say nothing in
regard to Mrs. Harrison's symptoms
until medical examination shall have
determined the precise nature of her
malady. DR.. Trudeau, of the Saranic
Sanitarium, will join the other physi-
cans in a consultation to day with a
view to, determining whether or not
Mrs. Harrison is physically able to
stand the fatigue of a trip to Washing

desire to return to the capital, and the
transfer will be made if it is deemed
advisable. aus gsea b VS. Ms
The Presidents future movements
will depend entirely upon the state of
Mrs. Harrison's health. and ii now
seems likely that he will have to aban-

HAGERsTowN, Nd, Yesterday
morning George Wallick, yonng
farmer, whose home was several miles.
from Funkstown, on the Henry Eakle
farm. committed suicide by shooting
himself in the head with a shotgun.
His body was found on the outside of
the house, near window, and from
the position of the gun it is supposed
he held the weapon with its butt be-
tween his feet and that he pushed the
trigger with stick which was found
close by. He was about thirty-fve
years old and leaves wife and two
children. He was just recovering from
an attack of typhoid fever and his
mind must have been somewhat affect
ed. All the surrounding circumstances
indicated suicide SO clearly that an in
quest was not deemed necessary.

CHOLERA SCAREIN PENNSYLVANIA

PITTsBURG, Sept. 13.-A United
Press reporter has just returned from
Jeanette, Pa, where it was reported
that well defined case of Asiatic
cholera had developed and claimed its
victim this afternoon. The reporter
found much excitement in the foreign
ers' quarters of the town, and much in
dignation among the citizens in gener-
al, but no cholera. Among the recent
arrivals of Belgium glass workers were
Peter Leroy and wife, each about fifty
years of age. They had. recently sailed
from Antwerp. Last Friday Mrs. Lee
roy was taken suddenly i'll, and not
until to-day was she able to be out of
her bed. DR.. Hugh Henry, who at
tended the woman, informed the re-
porter that his patient had passed
through a severe attack of cholera NOR
bus, but was now certain of recovery
How the cholera scare got abroad, the
physician could not say, unless it was
through the ignorance or misunder-
standing Of the interpreter.
Greensbnrg evening papers printed a
story to the effect that seven deaths
had already occurred at Jeanette.
This untounded publication has created
intense excitement and IN Jeanette
equal Indignation.

THE TRUE STORY.
Col. III. Kyd Douglass Gives it From Per-
a r. sonal Knowledge.

Col. II. kyd Douglass Gives it From Per-
8 r. sonal Knowledge.
IAN Ex-Confederate.n writing at
the safe distance of California, had
published an observation of the truth
of the story of Barbara Freitchie's flag.
in Frederickstown, as told by Whit
tier, and stated that he was one of
Jackson's men, who, at his order, fired
upon the flag. This statement, how
ever, was directly disapproved by
number of persons, among whom was
Major II. kyd Douglas, adjutant gen.
.eral, who was with General Jackson
at the time. Here is what Major
Douglas had to say on the subject:
'Jackson's corps passed the Poto-
mae into Maryland, September5, 1862,
and ON that day an admiring civilian
presented him with large gray
horse. The next morning, when he,
tried to ride him, the horse became
'uhihd'etSoaUic: anu Ill IedElHS ltll
back upon the General, who was so
severely hurt that it was some time
before he sufficiently recovered to be
moved. He was then placed in an
ambulance, and turned his command
over to Gen. d. H. Hill
jackson stopped about three miles
short of Frederick, and esta Diislied his
quarters at Best'o Grove, as did also
Generals Lee and Longstreet. He did
not go to Frederick that day, and GER
tainly was not riding ahead of the
rebel horde" which passed Frederick
to the other side. While encamped
near Frederick he kept closely in his
tent, seeing very few of the many citi
zens who called on him. On Sunday
night be asked Majors Douglas and
Morrison, of his staff, go to church
with him. There being no service in
the Presbyterian church he went to
hear DIR. Zacharias, at the Evangelical
Reformed church and, as usual went
to sleep.
ION the morning of the 10th Jack
sons corps was put in motion, and the
General went to Frederick in an am
bulance and then mounted his horse.
While the army was passing through
he rode with Major Douglas to the
house Of Rev. Dr. Ross, the Presby-
terrain pastor, and left q note for him.
That being done he went directly and
by the shortest cut to the Hagerstown
pike and put himself at the head Of
the column.
Nothing like that which is related
by Mr.. Whittier ever occurred, and
General jackson and Barbara Frietchie
never saw each other In reading OF
the tear which Whittier would drop
on 'Stonewal's bier for the sake OF
Mrs Frietchie one is reminded of Mark
Twain weeping at the tomb of Adam"
The fact has been established, and
upon such authority and evidence as
places it beyond truthful refutation,
that Stonewall jackson in leaving
Frederick for Hagerstown did not
pass the venerable lady's house at all,
but reached Patrick street from Mill
alley, or Bentz street, at point about
$50 yards west of where she lived. The
great Confederate commander was
therefore entirely innocent of the
charge of giving an order to his sol
diers to fire upon an old gray haired
woman. The poem has certainly
served to make Frederick widely
known, however-Globe.

FIRE ISLAND, N. Y, Sept. 13.-Men
from Islip, Babylon and other points
on Long Island appear to have decid-
ed to prevent by force if necessary the
landing of quarantined passengers.
They defy the governor and the State
health officers and claim that their

guarding Fire Island from intrusion
by people who may be infected with
cholera. They inundated the pilot
so that he refused to bring in the Cep-
hus, and they threatened to burn the
Surf hotel unless the attempt to use it
for quarantine station is abandoned.
Twenty of the men have been sworn
in as special constables and they have
over 100 assistants. The men admit
that they are armed and declare that
they will not give way to New York
policemen or any one else.
President Wilson, of the New York
board of health, has placed reporters
and Others on guard at the hotel and
telegraphed for assistance.
Forty French cooks and walters who
