pathetic interest and even in the hope that
someone, friend or foe, who may read it,

When the Z. s. Engineer battalion left
Savage Station, Va. for the James River.
June %, 1862, those of the sick who could
walk were ordered to proceed with the
army the best they could, while those IN
able to do so were left behind and taken
prisoners Edwin w. Damon, Co. G., of
Scituate. Mass, against the entreaties of
the Surgeon and his comrades, determined
to proceed. In some manner he obtained
n brOken-down horse and, without saddle
and with only Il rope for IL bride, after
an incredible struggle he reached the bat
TALON camp at Haxall'S. July l, the day
of the battle of Malvern Hill. At dark
that evening, when the battalion moved
out for Harrisons Landing, he was left
with food and made as comfortable as
possible. The nett day, and probably in
the same place. hc WAS found accident
ally by Charles II. Sylvester. of Co. X,
9TH Mass, while searching for water.
They recognized each other as old school
mates, and Sylvester gave him water in
his cup and urged him to get away as
soon as possible. or he would be captured.
Damon replied that he was very weak and
sick. but would try Sylvester had to
rejoin his regiment Immediately, as it was
the rear guard for the trains. He called
back. urging Damon to get away and
the last known or seen of Damon, he
was still lying there with the old horse

THAT LUNCH WITH WILLIAM.
vienna Paper Makes Sarcastic Com

TRUSTS

Vienna Paper Makes Sarcastic Com
ments Upon Mr.. Morgan and His
Trusts
Vienna, July 6.-The Neue Frier
Presse has published a satirical edito-
rial on the fact that ]. Pierpont Nor
gan. took luncheon with Emperor Will
liam on board the imperial yacht Ho-
henzollern at Kiel, July 3. The papers
says:
Without his checkbook Mr.. Morgan
would never have been the Emperor
guest"
The article harps throughout upon
the probabilities of misfortune over
taking the Napoleon OF Finance" and
says that, gilded by the imagination,
his trusts appear to be excellent, but
that the first moment public confidence
is disturbed the system will undergo
a severe trial.
The Neue Freie Presse concludes by
saying:
Gould a thought reader have pene-
trated the secret recesses of the minds
of Emperor William and his guest
what startling contrasts might he not
have discovered. In Emperor William S
mind, perhaps, a yearning for fame
and splendor; in that of Mr.. Morgan
the hope of new trusts and rising
prices. How fortunate it is that social
politeness wells such opposites."

Mrs. Lieder was married June Is by
proxy at Curacao. She is a member
of one of the most important families
of that little Dutch island, and al
though it seems proxy weddings are
not rare there, nearly every one of
consequence on the island witnessed
the ceremony. Mr.. Lieder, who Is in
business in New York, is a native of
Curacao, where he and Miss Aranjo
became engaged. A short time
ago he wrote her that he
was ready to make her his
wife and asked her to come
north to met him, but she was I'M
willing to make the voyage alone, and
besides she wished to be married af-
ter the custom of her island. So a
proxy ceremony was agreed upon. Mr..
Luis o. Negron stood in the place of
the absent groom, and the knot was
tied securely although the groom was
1000 miles away. Mr.. Negron, who is
the brides brother-in-law. accompa-
MED Mrs. Lieder to New York. He is
unmarried, but has represented i've
grooms at as many proxy weddings, so
the interesting ceremony was no nov
city 10 him. After the civil ceremony
the church rites were solemnized.

PRESIDENT AT OYSTER BAY.
Will Only Have Two StenOEraphers
and Wants as Few Callers as Pos
SihIe

SIbIe.
Oyster Bay. n. Y. July FIN dis
cussing the Presidents stay at Oyster
Bay. Secretary Cortelyou to-day said
that there seemed to be considerable
misrepresentation as to some feature of
it. He stated that there would be no
elaborate office established and that
the only clerical force maintained
would consist of two stenographers.
Arrangements have been about COM
pleted for use of two rooms in the
bank building for office purposes, and
it will be there that the
President will transact business
when he comes into town. Both
the President and his secretary
have planned to make their brief holi-
day as restful asi possible, and TO
that end will transact in oyster Bay
only the most immhdiate public bust
ness. Everything else will be transmit
ted to Washington for the attention
there either by the regular White
House force or in cafes where other ac-
ton is required, by the various de-
partments This is in accordance with
the practice which has been followed
successfully during previous summers.
The President will not receive dele
cations and hopes to have all matters
intended for him, not of the most
pressing Importance submitted by cor
resDondence.
Hotel AccommO dations Scarce.
The meager hotel accommodations
here will go far towards giving the
President that rest and freedom from
unnecessary official cares which he has
made it plain to every one he desires.
What scant accommodations there are
have been already pre-empted. and
persons arriving here from this time
on during the Presidents stay prob
ably will find themselves without
place to sleep.
The President spent restful night
at Sycamore Hill. Even the bowling
of the family dog, which was kept up
continuously, did not disturb his slum-
bers. He rose early and attended ser
| vices at Christ Episcopal Church. In
his carriage We're Miss Carew, his son,
Archie, and Lieut. Ferguson of the
Rough Riders, who is his guest. While
waiting for Mrs. Roosevelt and the
rest of the family the President stood
outside the church and greeted his
friends To a newspaper man he
laughingly remarked that Mrs. Roose-
welt and the children were coming
along in an express wagon.

VATICAN SEEKS COMPROMISE,
Ordering of Friars From PhiladeI-
ippines May BE Placed Upon Cen
erals of the Four Orders.

Rome, July 6.-The Vatican is striv-
ing to find a compromise between sat
isfying the desires of Washington, as
set forth by Judge William H Taft,
governor of the Philippines, and re-
ileving the Holy See from direct re-
sponsibility for the withdrawal of the
friars from the archipelago. Several
plans to this end have ben discussed by
the Vatican authorities. The most
acceptable of these is that the generals
of the four religious, orders concerned
having been informed of Washington
request, shall themselves order the
withdrawal of their dependents, who
now number about 500. This plan
would necessitate a letter from the
general of each order to Gov. TAFT
pledging the writer to this action, or
the insertion of a clause in the con-
tract between Judge Taft and the
Vatican that steps to this end will be
taken Immediately by the generals
when they are aware of the wishes of
the United States. The Vatican would
thus be under no odium, the Pope
merely accepting an accomplished
fact

London, July 6.-King Edwards
condition tonight continues to be
good 1t is said if his improvement
proceeds at the present rate he will
probably by the end of the month be
well enough to be transferred to the
royal yacht in Southampton waters.
A bulletin posted at o'clock this
morning said:
THE Kings progress continues to
be IN every way satisfactory"
Soon after the bulletin was issued
Queen Alexandra and Princess Vic
toria visited Marlborough House, where
they attended divine service with the
Prince and Princess of Wales. The
Queen stayed within Buckingham Pal
ace for the rest of the day.
Most of the churches in the United
Kingdom celebrated to-day the an
nouncement that King Edward was out
of danger with informal thanksgiving
services. special music and the sing
ing of the national anthem.
The government has issued orders
that the Indian and Colonial troops
now in London shall postpone their
departure indefinitely. These orders
are due to the strongly expressed de-
sire of the Indian troops especially to
see the King before they return home,
and they also indicate an intention
to retain the troops here until the
coronation. The colonial and Indian
troops will participate in the reception
to be given Lord Kitchener when
he arrives in England about July Is.
The Lord Mayor of London, Sir Jo-
seph c. Dmsdale. received a letter to-
night from Sir Francis Knollys, pri-
vate secretary to the King, to the eff
feet that His Majesty had commanded
him to convey to all concerned his
qualification at and warm thanks for
the energy and foresight which made
| the Kings dinner to the poor Satur-
| day such a great success, and to re-
| peat how sincerely His Majesty regret
ted his inability to be present and how
| touched he was by the loyal and kind
| ly feelings so universally displayed.

Buffalo N. Y, July GA terrific rain
and wind storm swept over Western
New York at an early hour to-day.
Rivers and creeks rose rapidly, over
flowing their banks and sweeping
away houses and barns and live stock.
The loss will reach into hundreds of
thousands of dollars. Telegraph and
telephone wires are down and COM
munication with small towns in Wy
oming, Niagara and Cattaragus coun-
ties is difficult to establish. This city
was not in the path of the storm.
A dispatch from Arcade says the
flood at that place claimed one vic
tim and did many thousand dollars
damage to property. Minnie Lopez,
who kept a bakery on the bank of the
creek, was drowned early in the day,
her bake shop being swept aside out
into the stream and falling apart.
There were many narrow escapes. At
Yorkshire, two miles below Arcade,
the approaches to the bridge were
washed away. but the bridge is stand

TO STRIKE IN CHICAGO.
Railroad Freight Handlers Decide
to Quit Work Unless Demands Are
Granted.

to Quit Work Unless Demands Are
Granted.
Chicago, July 6.-The freight han
dlers, numbering nearly 5000 men,
employed in the different railway
warehouses and depots in Chicago, at
a meeting tonight, decided to go on
strike within forty eight hours, to en-
force their demand for higher wages.
Several days ago the freight handlers
union submitted a proposition to the
general managers of the railways,
asking for an increase in the scale of
wages. The request was refus-
ed. The railroad officials, how
ever, offered to confer with
committees from their own men in an
effort to effect a compromise, but they
refused to recognize the officers of the
union. This was unsatisfactory to the
men, as recognition was one of the
principal demands made in the prop
osition submitted to the railroads.
Chairman F. G. Job of the state board
of arbitration has been using his best
efforts to prevent a strike, but the
men said they were waiting for the
railroads to take some action, and the
decision at to-night's meeting was t<e
result The strike, in all probability
will involve the transfers. as the lat
ter have declared that they will not
deliver freight to the railroads if iNis
to be handled by non-union men.
