THE FOOL EMPEROR.

HIS crazy nibs, Billy Hohenloe, boss Of
the German Empire, has contributed
much to the gayety Of nations since he
assembled the throne OF the "fatherland.'
His latest freak is pilgrimage to Jeru-
salem, where he goes to dedicate a Ca
thedral. When he, at the head of his
glittering calvacade OF followers, enters
the gates Of that old town, there will be
a hot time. Emperor Billy is the most
versatile cuss in the world. He is an
epitome OF human knowledge. He has
been everything that ever happened,
from cook to holy crusader. 1t is his
ambition TO be something that never was
to be the only new thing under the
sun. Good Americans are apt to CO.
miserate Germany in the possession OF
Emperor William, but then we have
Alger.

MURDERED BY BURGLARS.
Hotel Proprietor at Duryea Shot ant
Servant Bound and Gagged.

Servant Bound and Gagged.
Scranton, Pa, Dec. 5.-Michael f.
Corcoran, proprietor of the Anthracite
hotel, at Duryea, was murdered in the
most cold blooded fashion by burglars,
one of his two servants was bound
gagged and bindfolded, and the safe
in his bedroom was blown open and
about 5000 in money and other valu-
ables stolen at an early hour in the
morning.
Four masked men entered the hotel
at 1870 o'clock by a rear window. They
forced open the door of his bedroom,
where the safe was located, and shot
him dead before he could reach for his
revolver which was lying on a bureau.
Mary Monahan, one of the servants,
was awakened by the noise and de-
scended the stairs. She was covered
with revolvers, and after being bound
and gagged was placed on the bed
alongside COrcOran's body. She says
one of the gang wanted to kill her also,
but was prevented by the leader of the
party.
The safe was loaded and fired while
a coal train was passing. The robbers
quickly gathered their plunder and left.
The Monahan girl wriggled loose from
the clothes line which bound her and
summoned the occupants of adjoining
buildings. Soon after daylight over a
dozen representatives of the Scranton,
Pittston and Wilkesbarre police depart
ments were on the ground, and vigor-
Gus hunt is being made for the gang.

one hundred men, from the hospital corps o
the First Maryland regiment. The 18th
Penna. regiment is one of the three that il

Eighth Regiment, Pa. V. l., including the
Schuylkill county companies, will eat theil
Christmas dinner at home. There is no
much likelihood that they will go to Cuba
although the majority of the boys are anxious
to 90 to the island.
The first snow of the season here fell OF
the 2Sth 1t only lasted for a short while
and was hardly noticeable.
! The boys from the North take much in

pally of negroes. They are dressed in regular
convict suits, chained together with large
iron chains, and most of them are serving
terms of from three to twelve years. 1t was
one of these gangs that cleared the ground
for our camp.
