New York, October 3.-Stanton
sickIes, son of General Daniel K.
Sickles. who for several weeks has
been waging a verbal warfare upon
the aged soldier because OF financial
and other differences, caused consider
able excitement in front Of the gen
erals residence, No. % Fifth Avenue.
yesterday afternoon by shooing Mis-
Eleanor Eayl Wilmerding and her wO-
man stenosrapher from the front win
dow.
Mr.. SickIes is bitter against Miss
Wilmerding, as he thinks she, since
she became his fathers housekeeper.
and his mother.
The onslaught OF Mr.. Sickles came
just as thousands of persons were lined
up along The curb watching the Column
bus Day parade. Many in the rhrons
knew the son by sight and pointed him
out to others. In the midst OF the COM
motion some one shouted that a tight
was in progress. and the excitement be.
came so intense that for a few minutes
the parade was interfered with.
MI. Sickles's Story.
Mr.. Sickles. who is tall and Of dis
tinguished appearance. left his lodging
at Fifth Avenue shortly after
the parade started and sauntered up
the avenue. In front Of his fathers
house q large American flag was sus-
pended. and he was looking at this
when his attention was attracted to
two persons in tho south window on
the ground floor. They were sitting be-
tween two Sevres vases watching the
parade.
Il saw that the two were Miss Will
merding and her stenographer. and the
sight rolled me-" said MI Sickles to a
World reporter. Next instant I found
myself running toward the high fence
waving my arms to attract their at
tention. AS soon as they saw me Miss
Wilmerding turned pale and I began
called out real loud:
You freaks. You freaks: How
dare you sit in that Window
When I began to shout they jumped
from their chairs and darted into one
of the rear roms. and l don't think
they will return at once. I said many
other things besides freaks but
can't remember them all. People all
about recognized me and pointed me
out"
Mr.. SickIes said that on Friday Mrs.
Alta H. Denham, a relative OF the
general. who is friendly to both the
veteran and his wife, had a long talk
with the old soldier. but could not In
duce him to receive Mrs. Sickles.
MY father told Mrs. Denham he was
too i'll to see my mother" said Stanton
Sickles. but he doesn't seem too i'll to
see Miss Wilmerding. My father finally
said to Mrs. Denham: Please ask my
wife to ask Stanton to stop. I am an
old man.
But I'm not going to stop I've
just begun shall expose before
am through every one who has had a
hand in getting my fathers estate
away from him"
Heard OF Another Son.
Mr.. Sickles gave out letter received
yesterday from 1. S. Curtis. wholesale
lumber merchant Of Sherman, Tex. in
which reference is made to a son OF
the general that Stanton never heard
Of This is the second time an I'M
known son has been mentioned the
Arst being Alfred S. MolyneuX. who
thinks himself the child Of the first
Mrs Sickles. The letter read:
Dear Sir.-I am reminded by seelns
your name in the papers that had
the pleasure Of seeing you when
youth in 1852. when your father was
camped on the Maryland side of the
Potomac, you and three regular SOL
diers ventured in too near the Virginia
shore and were captured by some Ten
nessee soldiers. You were returned. II
