ALMOST A CHOLERA SCARE.
An Incident ef the Peculiar Fright That
Seized New York CITY

An Incident Of the Peculiar Fright That
Seized New York City.
Let me tell yon how came near be-
ing the innocent cause of big cholera
scare" said q well known lawyer to a
reporter one afternoon. at happened in
this way: was breakfasting alone il
East Twenty-eight street at private
Italian boarding house filled with the
leading people from several comic opera
companies, including Robin Hood and
'Puritania. Ny landlady, Mime. S.,
whose English pronunciation is at once
the delight and despair of those who
seek to initiate or understand it, came in
and said: 'Mista John, writa me una
note. Say Aida wom' are down. Com
ma queek. Yon putta ma nom alta bot,
Sophie
II was In haste 10 get down town."
continued the narrator, land / wrote 1t
out as understood it. All the women
are down; come quick | thought
that the message sounded odd She
said, however, that it was ALA rat
and sent it to DIR. X. around the corner
in Lexington avenue. That worthy
young physician glanced at the note, and
thinking that it opened the way to fame
for him informed the board of health
that he had discovered an outbreak of
cholera In an up town Italian boarding
house. He telephoned the same mes
sage to several newspaper men Of his
acquaintance.
'In less than twenty minutes squad
Of burly policemen appeared in front Of
the house, followed by the doctor, six re-
porters and several officers of the board
Of health, whose instincts had been
wrought up to white heat by the mes
sage. Mime. s. answered the incessant
ringing of the door bell in person.
She was attired in becoming morning
gown, and being large and remarkably
handsome woman, presented dra-
matte appearance as she explained the
situation: Gentleman, who eata brik-
fast now, no undastanda me. l tell him
olda wom' are down, sli2pa down, you
undastan? Olda won 1sorka for me.
Falla IJwna de stair. Hurta her side.
No WON down here at all. Dey ALA
out. Goodaday, gentleman, goodaday.'"

"Of course he lost, and borrowing
few dollars from friend he sent his
wife back 10 her folks in Missouri,
while he presented himself to the saloon
keeper in Denver with whom he had
made the bet The latter, more as a
joke than anything else, grubstaked
him and sent him out to prospect. The

earthwofks Of Fort Stevens, and there
the tired and weary soldiers fell down
upon the ground into the sound slumber
which it was SO easy in those days for
the veterans to take whenever they
had period Of rest. For about two
hours along these heights the soldiers
slept, when they were aroused by the
oncoming of the confederate veterans
who anticipated IN easy victory over the

For q moment they halted. Then,
that they had met the same
determined veterans before and that
proper relief in superior numbers had
come in time from the Army of the
Potomac, they stood not upon tho

Grant was preparing, by q movement
south on the Weldon railroad, to in
vest Petersburg. At this time Gen.
Lee prepared one of'his celebrated
flank movements which had thereto
fore always been successful in driv-
ing the Army of the Potomac back to
the defenses Of Washington. Gen.
Jubal A. Early with a corps of confed-
crate soldiers had swung around to the
rear of the Army Of the Potomac and
was threatening the national capital.
Gen. Grant did not withdraw the Army
Of the Potomac to the defenscs of
Washington, but directed Gen. Wright
to proceed to the defense of the ma
tional capital with the old fighting
Sixth corps, and that order was imme-
diately obcyed with creditablc haste.
zeal and discretion.
On the 9th day Of July. 1864, Gen.
Lew Wallace. with an inferior force,
bettled with Gen. Early at Monoca-
cy. Nd, and delayed the progress of
the confederate leader toward WASH
ington. But Wallace was ultimately
brushed aside and Early came on with
the avowed intention of capturing and
despoiling the city. On the evening
OF the 18th of July the confederate
army under Gen. Early appeared be-
before Fort Stevens and camped there
for the night All of the convalescent
soldiers in the hospitals Of Washing
ton and al Of the clerks in the de-
partments who were able to bear arms
were mustered into the service and sent
% the defense Of Fort Stevens. The con.
federste general knew very well what
. weak force he had to contend with,
and it was his intention to sweep over
Fort Stevens on the morning Of the
18th OF July, capture every one in the
fort, and move on into the capital city
with his victorious troops.
At midnight on the nth Of july the
Sixth corps Of the Army Of the Poto-
mac landed At the wharf on the Poto.

had recently passed, that it might well
be called . bloodless battle. One
month before, fifteen thousand union
soldiers had fallen inside of fifteen
minutes before the earthworks of
Cold Harbor. The casualties ut Fort
Stevens were not more than fifteen
hundred on both sides. Although it
may be called mere skirmish. it was
one OF the most important engage
mcnts of the entire war, for the result
was that the national capital was
saved and Grant was enabled to con-
tinue his operations before Richmond.
by the battle of Monocacy, two DAYS
before Early appeared before Fort
Steveds. it became known in Washing
ton what a formidable force was ap-
preaching the city. A few prisoners
captured revealed the fact that Gen.
Early, one of Gen. Lees ablest strate-
gists, was in command of the raiders.
The alarm was general throughout the
city. Congress was in session; the SUI
preme court was in session; the presi-
dent and his cabinet were in the city.
The success of Gen. Early meant the
capture. not only of the national cap
ital. but of every member Of every
branch Of the government. President
Lincoln drove out to Fort Stevens in a
and he was there when the

their position between Fort Stevens
and Fort Dc Eussey. This regiment
had just been mounted at City Point,
and had travelled all night in order to
reach Washington in time. They ar
rived eight hours before the infantry
men of the Sixth corps reached the
field. Tho soldiers recognized the
president as they marched past him,
and they went into the fight shouting:
''Hurrah for Lincolnr" Very shortly
nfterward the secretary Of war. Mr..
drove furiously out there and
took Lincoln of the field almost by
main force. He told the president that

him he would order a squad Of soldiers
