There is Great Danger.

Recent advices from Hamburg say
that cholera in that vicinity is spreading
at an alarming rate. AS the season of
warmer weather comes on the increase is
expected to grow gradually. Those who
are III pos ton to know state that,
probably, all of the European countries
will suffer this year the plaques of the
greatest cholera scourge the world has
ever known, and especially those dis
tricts where the terrible disc
such havoc last year.
This is matter that is graduany inter
esting and even exciting the people of
America. Grave fears are entertained
that the disease will reach our shores
early this summer-maybe as soon as
June or July, which would be very dis
astrous just at that Sime. The sanitary
condition OF none our metropolitan cities
is good, and for this reason the health
authorities would be unable to cope
with the plague to any advantage what
ever.
Take New York, for instance, during
the summer months, which would, in
all probability, be the principal and
greatest vortex Of such a disease, and a
filthier city could not be found. Isola-
ton would be impossible there even with
but a limited number of cases to begin
with. It's safe to say that there are
many other cities in almost the
same condition, all Of which goes to

In the summer of 1875 | was So

in little fishing village on the coast
of Maine. One night my friend was
seized with sudden and painful ill
ness which necessitated my summon

lived on farm mile distant from
our hotel and who combined agricul-
ture with the practice of medicine. I
aroused the sleeping physician with
some difficulty and stated my errand,
but despite my opportunities he fatty
refused to leave hi home, as it was
against an intlexible rule to leave his
home at night, no matter how urgent
the call. However, he generously

AIDING THE CRIPPLED ASSASSIN TO
ESCAPE.

Lieutenant A. X. Banbridge, OF
Ch hicago, one of the three Confederate
soldiers who,in a measure, assisted
John Wilkes Booth to escape, after he
had assassinated Abraham Lincoln,
was in St. Louis, one night last week
and entertained party of guests, by
relating his experience with the noted
assassin.
81 had heard that Mr.. Lincoln had
been assassinated," said Lieutenant
cambridge "but had no idea of meet
ing with his slayer in the manner
did. One afternoon, Captain Ruggles
Captain Jett and myself were standing
on the bank of the Rappahannock
River, on the King George County Va,
side, when two men drove up in a
buggy. One of them alighled, and
advancing towards us, asked me if we
could get them across, as they were
escaped prisoners from Fort McHenry.
Captain Jett did not believe his story,
and after questioning the stranger
closely, he finally admitted that his
name was Harold, and that the man
in the buggy was none other than
Booth.
Hearing the explanation of his
friend and partner in crime, Booth
jumped out Of the buggy the best he
could with a broken leg and after
hobbling to US on one crutch exclaim-
ed:-
Gentlemen, I have heard what
Harold told you. My name is Booth
and l am worth 100000 to any of
you. Is there any Of you who has
the courage to win the prize He
had a pistol in each hand and de-
termined look on his face. We de-

where we succeeded in securing lodging
for the fugitives on farm owned by
man named Garrett, on the road to

in the front yard with Harold to care
for him, and retraced our steps, when
an old negro by the name of Henry
Lucas met us and informed me that
squad Of soldiers was crossing the
river in pursuit OF the fugitves we
had just ferred over. We hurried
back and passed the farm house where
Booth was still reclining in a hsm-

that a squad of soldiers was coming
up the road, and that he had better

NIAGARA'S 10Y COAT.
DRIVING SPRAY ENvELoPED IN A
GLISTENING COVERING.

Not within a generation has the
present ice scenery at Niagara Falls
been surpassed in extent, variety, and
beauty. The trees in Prospect Park
and on Goat Island, Luna Island, and
all the surrounding shores, and every
shrub and tyig arc covered with ice
which glistens in the sunshine TIL the
eye is dazzled and turns away to the
shade. This ice coating is not thin
layer or varnish, but is sometimes sew
eral inches thick. Twigs no bigger
! than pencil become as large around
as mans arm.
The ice is formed by the spray
which is swept hither and thither by
the shifting winds. Wherever it touch.
es it freezes, and then the ice coating
of every object near the Falls is con.
stantly increasing in thickness Will !,
the cold weather continues.
The great ice bridge in the gorge
has formed across the river just below
the American Falls. 1t extends far
down the river and under the upper
suspension bridge in a great jagged,
snow covered ice field. 1t even ex-
tends up the river in several places al
most to the very foot Of the Falls
themselves. A well beaten path ex-
tends across the bridge, and thousands
cross and recross it every day. So
firm is it now. and 1t is estimated to
be fifty to seventy-hve feet thick, that
in the center of the river several rude
shanties or booths have been erected
by the enterprising Niagararians, where
one can indulge in hot Scotch, cold
beer. or if his taste inclines that way,
in Kentucky bourbon.
The scene from the middle Of the
river is wild, weird, and Arctic in the
extreme, the great cataract falling
over the cliffs in front and above it
with ceaseless roar: the clouds of
spray and mist rolling up; half yelling
the falling water at times, and at times
again caught by vagrant gust ofwind
and swept down the cnasm and over the
bridge, deluging the onlooker. leaving
him wet and icy but spe bound by
the scene.
Ice mounds have formed in several
places along the foot Of the Falls. One
enormous one near the center of the
American Falls has grown until it is
fully one hundred feet high. If the
cold continues it is not unlikely to
reach quite to the top Of the cliff.
