SIMPLY PRESIDENT.
New Story of Lincoln's Good Nature
and Tact.

A New Story of Lincoln's Good Nature
and Tact.
Mr.. William Bender Wilson of Lam
caster, Pa, who entered the war depart
ment as military telegrapher in 1861,
gives the following fresh anecdote:
In the fall of 1861 fires in Washing
ton city were Of frequent occurrence,
without any organized adequate means
for extinguishing them being in exist
ence there. This condition Of affairs
was source Of SO much anxiety to the
country at large that no sooner was a
Washington fire announced in the news
papers than the mails would TEEN with
patriotic offers to the president from all
sections for the formation of fire brigades
as component part of the army for the
protection of the capital. This was one
OF the many great annoyances of irrele-
want subjects thrust upon the president.
He bore it all as part of the responsible
titles resting upon him, yet at last was
compelled to rebuke it from sheer lack
OF time to give it any attention.
Zone night the Washington infrmary
burned down, and, as was customary
after such disasters, the next day brought
the president the usual complement of
offers of fire engines and firemen. Phil
adelphia's patriotism, true to its tradi-
lions, could not await the slow progress
of the mail. but sent forward commit
tee of citizens to urge upon the presi
dent the acceptance Of a fully equipped
fire brigade for Washington. On their
arrival at the White House they were
most courteously and blandly received
by Mr.. Lincoln. Eloquently did they
urge their mission, but valuable time
was being wasted and Mr.. Lincoln was
forced to bring the conference to a close,
which he did by interrupting the COM
mlttee in the midst of grand and to be
clinching oratorical effort by gravely
saying, as if he had just awakened to
the true import of the visit: 'Ah, yes,
gentlemen, but it is mistake to sup
pose that I am at the head Of the fire
department of the city Of Washington!
l am simply president of the United
States. -

without convoy and no cannon aboard,
our only weapons being smooth bore
muskets.
The Seventh regiment, as is we'll
known, took the cars for Baltimore the
day after the rioters attack on the Sixth
Massachusetts, in the streets of that
city. It was turned off the direct route
at Philadelphia and sent around by An
napolis, marching from that point to
Washington, in momentary expectation
of battle. Having had no drill or dis
cipline whatever, our awkward squad
was not considered equal to the emer-
gency of that warlike trip, and so we
were tossed about in our little propel-
Ter, the prey of countless fears, and
made a rough voyage down the coast
from New York to Fortress Monroe. An
old timer black wooden gunboat sailed
with US up the Potomac from that point
to Washington.
It was Sunday morning when we
landed at the navy yard, and there
seemed not soul astir on shore. But
before the gangplank had been let down
we saw two gentlemen alight from a
barouche which suddenly whirled into
sight around the corner of large build
ing and pulled up on the dock. A very
tall man and very short one, in COM
parison, stood impatiently by while a
plank was being lowered especially for
them, and the next moment President
Lincoln and Secretary Seward were ell
bowling their way among the patriotic
youngsters and giving each a hearty
handshake. A serious and almost ia
therly demeanor was shown by Lincoln
as he bent slightly in taking our hands
we boys who had reached the endan.
gered city in nick O. time. Indeed one
hand was not enough to express his feel
ing, and with his left he took each of
US by the elbow and gave hearty
pressure. It was the end of 1.-THE black
week"
We found the regiment CHARTERED
along with the Sixth Massachusetts, in
the hall Of representatives in the cap
itol. After week there in anticipation
Of attack we made our camp on Merili-

The Wier company, of Monmouth.
made voluntary assignment to L.
S. kirgmau yesterday. The assign
ment was occasioned by the cramped
condition OF affairs of the company,
its large shops having been destroyed
by fire in 1895. and the stockholders
refusing to put in any additional
money for rebuilding the plant to its
former capacity. An effort will be
made to operate the shops long
enough to fill outstanding orders and
contracts. All obligations will be
paid in full. Should times revive it
may be possible that moneyed men
will be found to buy in the plant and
rebuild the shops. The Wier COM
pany will be remembered in connec.
tion with the East Molins boom, hav-
ing made contract to move its
shops there, and afterward break
ing it.
