THE FIRST GERMAN PAPER.
Ben franklin In 1872 Printed the
First ZeItung la America.

oen FRANKLIN IN 173S Printed the
FiFst ZeItunR la America.
The first newspaper printed in the
German language in America was the
Phiiadelphiiclc Zeitung. published by
Benjamin Franklin in the year 1T32.
The Pennsylvania Gazette for June
&15, 1882, contains the following an
nOunceInent:
THE Gazette will come out on Mon
day next and continue to be published
on Mondays.
"And on the Saturday following will
be published PliladelphiSche Zeitung.
or Newspaper ip High Dutch, which
Will continue to be published on Satur-
days once fortnight. ready to be de-
livered at Ten Clock, to Country Sub
scribers. Advertisements are taken in
by the Printer hereof, or by Mr.. Louis
TimOthee. Language Master, who trans
lateS them"
IN Undertaking this new enterprise
Franklin expected to secure a liberal
support from the German population of
the province. for whom he had been
doing considerable printing, but in this
ne was disappointed. and the publica-
ton Of the Zeitung was discontinued
after few numbers had been issued.
The Zeitung was a small sheet of
four pages, G16 by Q inches, the text
printed in double columns with Roman
type, and at the bottom of the fourth
page bore the imprint: philadelphia:
Gedruckt hey B. Francklin in der
Marck-strasse, wO desc Zeitungen vOr
8 Shillings des Jahrs zu bekOmmen,
ind Advertisements zu bestellen sind"
The first number was issued June 10,
1872. and the second ''Sonnabend den
"a. Juni, 1892" The publication of the
Zeitung, therefore, antedates by seven
years the HOch-Deutsch Pennsylva-
nische Observation-Disclosures, published
by Christopher SauF.-ChicagO Times
Herald.

TIE REV. MR. KELLER MAY DIE.
Danger of Pus From His Wound
Reaching the Brain.

NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-Since Wednesday
night the condition of the Rev John Kel-
Ter has grown steadily worse. and the
physicians attending him do not hesitate
to express their fears that the injuries
inflicted on him by Thomas C. Barker. on
Sunday last, may have a fatal ending.
Though he has not lost in strength. the
suppuration of the wounds in his head has
continued. and the danger of the pus
reaching the brain became so imminent to-
day that a consultation was held by the
attending physicians. Later this bulletin
was issued:
The present condition Of the Rev. John
Keller is as follows: He is resting quiet
ly, has a slight increase of temperature.
and his condition is not Immediately dan
gerous but II is impossible TO say that he
is out OF danger of death as a direct re
suit OF his injuries, and we cannot say for
some days to come. An unfayorable change
in his condition would not surprise US at
any moment ard death result"
DR.. Strasser and his colleagues had de-
cided this morning TO remove the de-
stroyed eyeball, but when they met at
Mr.. Keller's bedside tonight to perform
this operation they found that the wound
ed mans state would not permit Of it.
The possibility of the operation result
ing fatally had been anticipated by Public
Prosecutor Irwin, of Hudson County. He
went to the house late in the afternoon and
obtained from the clergyman his account OF
the shooting,
Barker was informed today Of his vic
TINS turn for the worse. His only COM
mont was that he intended that the
clergyman should die, and whether he was
tried fer assault or murder, his justifica-
tion held good
