Tiu burglars were abroad in the city
the last two nights , and it is evident that
the city has a gang of the festive proft a *
slon working the place. There his (
scarcely been n tlmo this season that
gomo of this class of work had not been
reported , but as the state fair draws near
the active professors In the dark lantern
business nro evidently settling down upon
the city for professional work. Early
Sunday morning scorned to bo a favorable -
' able tlmo for the workers. Up to yester
day six parties who hud been visited had
rclutctl their experience. At the Wash
ington house two parties were the visit
ors , : md they entered a room occupied bj
two boardms. Ono of the mon was in
the rouin ut the time , and while one
burglar huld the person quiet with a gun
the other went through the clothes of tlu
man , with poor results , financially. Al
the Saratoga house the burglars regalotl
themselves with all Iho cigars in tlu
house , and three other private house :
were raided , but their harvest at 11 three
places was light.
ACCIDENTS ON THE II. & H ,
Ono of the rules of the railroai

13. & . M. figures on accidents are on file

interesting. In February there wen
fourteen accidents , none of which at tin
tlmo ot the reports had terminated fa
tally. The parties injured were foui
brakemen , flve switchman , ono oonduc
tor and ono road master.
In March the company had sixteen ac

number live wore switchmen , four brake
men. four conductors , two not employe'
of the road nnd one engineer. Apr !
leads the six month's record with twon

five non employe's of the road.
The month of May recorded ton accl

Rough nn the Chaplain.
New York Tribune : General N. P.
Banks tells u story about one of his array
chaplains which never fails to "bring
down" the G. A. H. camp fires. The
chaplains of the regimnntduring the war
had charge of the mails for the regiments
to which they were attachod. The mail
for the regiment of this particular chap
lain had not come to hand for many days.
The regiment was out of the line of com
munication. Every day Irom one-half to
two-thirds of the soldier boys filled up
thochnplaln's tent with fetich stereotyped
inquires as these :
' 'Any ' ranil yet , chaplain f"
"Have you hoard from the mall ? "
"Do you know when the malls will
comot"
"What do you think is delaying the
mallV
The great man was so pestered with
inquiries that ho had no time to prepare
his weekly sermon. Ho was obliged to
spend nil his lime in explaining that ho
had no mail , that ho had heard nothing
about the mull and that ho knew nothing
about the mail. It occurred to him that
ho might put an end to his troubles by n
sign. Procuring the bottom of nn old
hard tack box ho marked it with char
coal nnd nailed it on n tree In front ol
his tent so that nil ruizht sco this notice :
THE CHAPLAIN DDKS NOT KNOW WHEN TUB
MAIL TMI.I , AnitlVE.
The next anxious enquirer who came
nlong was a reckless young wag. He
gazed for n while at the notice and then
discovering the piece of charcoal which
the chaplain had dropped on the ground
at the crrnplctlon of the sign , ho soiznd
it and added those words :
ANI > UK DON'T OAIIE A n N.
The chaplain took in the sign and
never put out another ono.

NO DOUBTING ) OF THE FACTS ,
Oorrr Pagcl'a Victim Cornea Back In
Bplrlt to Haunt the PUoo of UU
Murder The Htorlcs of the
Torrlflod WltncHsos ,
The people of South St. Loula are awestricken -
stricken in the presence of the exciting
demonstrations ot the ghost of a murder
ed man , whoso si ay or ia to be hanged
this month by duo process of law.Vhon
the ghost had a corporeal existence on
earth it was known as Samuel Kohn ,
and its business was to buy' hides and
fnt from the butchers of the city for the
firm of Norman Drown & Co. The flrm
was doing a good business , and its city
buyer , who was an active and popular
young man , temperate in hla habits and
honest and straightforward in his deal
ings , WAS ono nf their most valued em
ployes. Ilo made friends rapidly , and
in the fall of 1880 he was the best agent
of a hido-buyinc house in the city , and
was widely known among the butchers ,
Thcnho was murdered by a drunkendisso
lute wretch , Jerry Pagols. I'ugols was
the city buyer of hides and fat for E. S.
lirook > , a business competitor of Norman
Urown. Ilo had boon a peed business
man but had fallen into dissi'
imted habits , and as his cravinc
for liquor grew upon him his work
was neglectedand his slip-shod business
methods become unsatisfactory to his cm
ploycrs and objectionable to the butchers
who were soiling him their hides. He
continued to drink , and the butchers be
gan to carry their wares to Kohn. whose
manner pleased thorn , and whoso scltle-
iients were prompt nnd accurate. AF
'agels lost his clients ho drank more
ceply , nnd , discovering that Kohn was
; ettinjr his trndo , ho swore vengeance
Against his innocent rival. His threats
.gainst the lifo of Konn were publicly
undo , nnd ctuno to the cars of the you 112
lido-buyer himsolf.who paid no attention
o them. They wore the more vnponngs
f n drunken brain for a long time , but
ontinuous absorption of liquor linallj
brought 1'agols to the verge of deliruni
rumens , and in an alcoholic frenzy he
arricd his wioKcd intoutiou into effect.
TUP. OKIMK.
November 10 , 1885 , had been n busj
day for Kohn. lie bad been employee
from the early morning until Into in the
aftormoon receiving bides in the ware
house , in the alloy , and weighing then
> n a huge pair of platform scales in th <
oom. At 5 o'clock he had h'nishctt with
ho butcherssiiut was sittmgon the scales
running over the figures in the little
memorandum-booK in which he kept hit
accounts , when a little boy ran up tin
ulloy to the open warehouse door niu
; > ut in his head as he culled :
"Mr. Kohn , there's a man out hen
wants to see you. "
"All right , I'm coming , " replica Kohn
tanking another butcher was waiting
juUsido with n load of hides. These weri
his last words. As ho appeared at tin
door , Pagel's. who waa waiting in tin
alley by the doorway , raised a double-
barrelled shotgun to his shoulder. "Sam
you , I want to see you ! " he called
nnd tired.
The buckshot pierced the abdomen o
Colin , and he fell across the threshold a
, he door fatally wounded. Pagols lookei
down at him a moment , and then rai
down the street. The murder had bcei
icon , and the polioe were in the ulloy i
.uinutes later. Kohn died in two days
and Pacels was arrested while hilling ot
the day after. Ho was tried , convictei
nnd sentenced to death , and unless th
governor intorfcrs he will bo hung on th
morning of August 13. Ho has boon sal
on , unrepentant and defiant in jail , am
las not once shown any sign that ho re
jrcttod his cowardly crime.
FIUST AWKAKANCB OK THE GHOST.
Kohn's place after his death was givoi
to Albert Urown , the brother of Kohn1
employer , and ho found it neccs
sary soon after taking charg
of the largo business whlc
had been built up by the murdered ma :
to employ an assistant , Guorgo Knechi
Both had boon intimate fnonds of th
murdered man , and frequently talked c
his death and the fate of his murduroi
Both are clear-headed business-men , an
neither is a spiritualist , a member e
any society of physical researcl
a tlioosophists , or any othe
kind of an investigator or discoverer o
occult phenomena. Until Thursda
niaht all they knew about ghosts wa
that they were unpleasant creatures t
have about the house. That night the
learned something more , 'ihey ha
boon detained in the hide warehouse b
some Uito purchases beyond their won
and 11 o'clock touud them sorting tli
hides into piles. They worked by a dit
lamp , which they moved about wit
them , as they throw the hides into heap )
and which east long , quivering shadow
down along the lloor and up among th
beams of the roof. In ouo corner tli
long scales , on which Kohn sat a fe
minutes before ho was murdered , thro
out an uncertain form on the wall , i <
arms and body making a long , slit
shadow and a broader one underneatl
strongly suggestive of a gallows. It mn
have been this , or the strange Inlluonci
of the hour , or the unusual silence , tht
made the two men fall to talking Ciboi
Kohn and hli murdejp.-tftid they had bee
ou the subject bat a minute or two whe
a tall bale of hides , just outside the circ
of bright light made by the lamptopple
over and foil to the lloor , sending tl
echoes rolling through the buildini
Both men straightened up from the
stooping position and stared at cac
other , with their hearts boating rapidl ,
ACCOUNTING i'Oll THE EVENT.
"Must have been overbalanced , "nu
gested Brown.
"Yos. but it scared me at first , " a
sented Knccht , with a half laugh , full
nervousness.
AM he spoke thorn cnmo a clang and
clatter from the scales in the corner , lil
the noise made by ono rolling somothii
to bo weighed on them and tossing tl
weights on the bar. Brown grasped tl
lamp and hold it above his head , dispo
ing the shadows on the wall and illumi
atmg clearly the corner whore the seal
stood. They were not moving and i
weights were ou the bar , but as the tv
men looked there came another series
uietnlie noises from them , a rattle
weights nnd a clashing of the parts t
gether , and at tlm same time the thum
of bales of hides being rolled about wo
hoard in every part of the buildin
with the simultancons sound of the me
ing of the fat barrels , unmistakable
the cars of the experienced men w
heard them. The noises continued f
some minutes , whilo'the ' two men sto
rooted to the floor , seeing nothing ; ai
hearing all around them sounds th
knew were supornatural.
"Let's go homo , " Brown at last pi
posed. >
The two pnt on their coats and went
their homos , agreeing before they pprl
to avoid ridicule by telling no one
their fright. Friday they both we
through the building and examined it
broad daylight. They saw nothii
ghostly , and their fears of the niirht I
fore appeared absurd. They resolved
investigate the mystery , howeror , a
Friday night they remained in the wai
house again.
A SXOOND MANIFESTATION. <
Exactly at 12:20 o'clock a barrel of j
fell over on its side and rolled up agali
the scales , and then all the noises they
had heard the night bsforo wore repeat
ed. When they wont up and Blood on
the scales the clattor-of. the weights con
tinued , although thorc , appeared to bo no
way of producing tho"sounds. . The ndlso
of hides and barrels moving was as plum
as it had been , but after the ( irst warning
that they were about to begin , nothing
was heard. Brown and Knccht ut last
took themselves out , of the warehouse ,
not so much frightened this time ns miz
zled , nnd over a glass of beer in n neigh
boring siloon discussed the mystery with
the saloonkeeper. > .1
"It's Kohu's ghost.M said that Individ-
unl , positively , 'nnd. you can't lay It un
til Pngols is nangod. "
The storv spread over nil that part of
the city Saturday , and Brown nnd
Knecht were besclgcd all dtv : by in
quiries. They were laughed at by some
and believed by others , but the theory
that Kohn's ghost was haunting the
scene of the murder became the popular
one.
NO DOUBTING OK FACTS.
Saturday night Brown and Knccht
took a number of butchers into the ware
rooms , and they cnmo over to the saloon
about midnight moro serious than
butchers generally arc , nnd ready to
maintain all the two hide buyers hnd
told of their two nights' experiences.
They had hoard all the noises of the
moving of barrels and bales of hides , and
had carefully examined the phenomenon
of the active scales but the
inexplicable sounds continued nnd
the businoss-liko ring nnd creaking of the
scales had gone on , even % vhon three
butchers got on it. As on the other nights ,
the ghostly signal for the beginning ol
the uncanny proceedings was given by
the falling over of n bale of hides in
plain sight ot all , but after that the
sources of none of the noises were seen :
HOLVINGTHE MVWTEltr.
Yesterday the people living in the vi
cinity of the warehouse had plenty ol
food for gossip , nnd by nightfall the
alloy was filled with men talking in it
whisper and Ihtnning. Nobody wont
into the warehouse last night , nnd the
two buyers , Knccht nnd Brown , staid al
homo. The ghost hunters , however ,
stood on the street or m the alloy until
after midnight expecting to si-c or hoar
something startling , nnd whan they went
away two police olliccrs , anxious for dis
tinction ns ghost detectives , took up tht
watch. Another party of investigator !
will occupy the warehouse to-night.

VETERAN'S ANNUAL REUNION.

Warrior.
New York World : Just forty years ngo
the many little states ana principalities
which go to mnkn up the Gorman empire
wore tilled with discontented people in
rebellion against the form of government
in force under King William IV. , ol
Prussia , Nearly all of the surviving
men who took part In the movement ,
which demanded a republican form ol
government , are now American citizens ,
and for the purpose of keeping alive
the sentiments of these stirring times
they , in 1870 , formed a society known as
the "Voreln dor Doutschon Patrloton. "
There wore nearly four hundred mem
bers when the society was formed , but
now there ure only ninety-seven sur
vivors. These men meet at present every
quarter and hold a celebration yearly ,
General Franz Sigel is the pris-
ident , and the society has on Its
roil such mon as Leopold Stinus , Henry
Snyder , Colonel Adam Singes , Dr. Fred-
crick Hooker , General Max Weber , Gen
eral Wirlo , Peter J. O.sterhouso , Louis
lloll'man , General Ashimilptine , Curl
Schurz , General Wesondouok uud Colonel
nel Annecko. Besides its commemorative
qualities the society is also a boiieiiciarv
one. Indigent nnd disabled members
are taken care of , and $100 is given to
the survivors'of any member who dies.
Over 150,000 has thus far been spent by
the boeiety , and there is now $4,000 in itf
treasury , which will , no doubt , supply
all our needs in the futuru.for the young-
cst member in the society is over sixty
years old , and it is only n question of n
tow years at most when there will bo 11
last survivor. During the last year six
of the members have been crossed oil' tlu
list by death.
Thu movement In which these men
played such an active part was tinsuc1
cessfiil.but it brought out the talents aud
strong points of miinv u man. It wai
just after the Napoleonic wars. The
revolution in Franco had just been con
eluded , and the success of the people
there , tired their loss excitable Teutonic
neighbors across the Kliino to demand c
republican form of government. Tht
feeling was especially strong in the littlt
states of Baden , Hesso and Wurtonbcrg
The movement developed in 18-18 into t
general demand for a representation o
the people. A conveution was hold secretly
crotly , and a provisionnry parllameni
was called and mot at Frankfort-on
Main. This was succeeded in May o
that year by the national parliament
which was created by the minority of thi
government and represented till the Gor
man states as well as the Gormar
provinces of Austria. The session lastei
nearly % year , and the result was thu
King William IV. declined the crown o
the emperor of Germany oflercd by th
parliament. Before the { -regular parlin
meut had assembled , the radical wing o
the provisionary parliament became dis
satisfied with the political outlook , nm
tender , Dr. 1'roderiuk Hecker. called th
people of Baden to arms and proclaimoi
the republic nt Constance. Ten thousani
men responded and an unsuccessful al
tempt was made to siezo the capital o
thu state Carlsruhe. At this time General
oral Sigol had served his time as nn ofli
cor in the regular nrmy nnd way on hi
way to the university nt Heidelberg. H
was in sympathy with the people , nnd
instead ut going to the university , li
went to Mannheim , whore ho raised
10,000 men , whom ho led under the gen
cral-in-cluef. Dr. Heckor. Finally , th
whole movement was defeated , but ii
May of the following year another in
surrection broke out , which was parlici
pated in by the whole people. The ou
tire standing nrmy of 20,000 men wen
over to the insurrectionists. To supprcs
this movement the .prince of Prussianov
Emperor William , invaded the couutr ;
with 80,000 mon. The insurrectionist
were commanded by General Wiowslaw
ski , who had become prominent by th
insurrection in Poland , and by his cam
paign in Sicily , nnd General SIjel wa
his adjutant-general and chief o
staff. This campaign was intcndei
to defend the parliament agalna
the minority reaction and to inaTntnii
the constitution. This trouble lasted fo
four months , and in splto of successes n
first the insurrectionists under Goner : :
Slgel , for General Wtawslnwskl had re
signed , were driven .back into Switzei
laud , whore 10,000 men became exiled
At that time there were other insurrec
lions iu the neighboring state , and not :
bly in Hhenish Bavaria , whore Cai
So'luifts was a lender. Ho lent great ai
to the insurrection in Baden. Those pec
pie were all unsuccessful. They wor
the leaders , intellectually , of the countr
and although they were all , except ti )
most prominent , granted amnesty , 'he
refused to accept it , and during 1840 an
1850 they came to this country.
Belonging as they did. to the progres
ivo Gorman element , they soon mad
their influence full. All of the Gormu
papers which were so active in opposin
slavery were cither edited or owned t
some of the exiled Germans. They woi
all in sympathy with the republican ( on
of govern mont , which they found her
and those men who hadlon untHiccei

they had fought under him in the Ge
man insurrection. Most of them hi
had the benefit of a military edncatio :

In public places , especially Iu the summer
season , the eye is often attracted by neat
decoration * 'which embellish chandelier *
nd ceilings as protection annliul those hu
man pests the flies , which , however , serve
their purpose as the scavengers of the air ,
The designs employed are outlines renflv
works of art and the deft way in which
they nrc attachtcd to walls and ceilings so
s to propect them ; gi\es an impression1 ol
airy lightness which is pleasing to the ere.
No man has probably spent so much time
in Chicago ou this line of trade as the sub
ject of the follpwlnc sketch ; He has been a
resident of Chicago for thirty years , coming
here with his parents when only 10 years of
Hge , and having grown up with the city his
natne is known to thousands of her people.
Within a short time such a wonderful
change has tnkcn place In his personal ap
pearance that it has attracted the attention
of his friends as well as that of n reporter ,
who called upon him within a day or t\\o
and obtained the following sworn statement
Personally appeared before me , George
W. Hoover , No 278 West Twelfth street ,
who , being sworn according to law , doth
depose and say :
That I have been ill for two or three yeart
with n lung trouble , which a short time
since resulted in hemorrhaRe , so that I re
marked to my wife : I think about next fall
I will finish up. That I have paid out hun
dreds of dollars iu the past two years for
medicine and advice , 'but nothing did me
any practical good. I would stop coughing
for an hour or to , but it would come again
next day. The relief afforded me was only
temdorary. I read of the numerous cures
which had been effected by Dr. McCoy in
the papers , and they described o closely
my symptoms that I called upon him al
No. 10 Park Row. Dr. McCoy told me
that I had caturrhal bronchitis , and there
was serious trouble with the right lung in
the form of an abscess. I was put undci
the treatment , and he gave me relief right
away. The night sweats with which I
had been troubled have left me and I nov
rrst well. I began the 'f culm cnt on tht
2Ud of May last , I used to cough ever )
morning ; would get tick at the stomach. J
have been verv nearly strangled trying to
get something up when there -was nothing
to come up. But now I am doing splen
didly. Have a clear hc.id. I am no
clouded up. I can travel all day and noi
tire out , and I can assure you my work re
quires me to go about a great deal. I am
ejtlbflcil th.u If I liad not gone unilui thi :
treatment I should have been compelled t <
stop work entirely , and this is my busj
season. I was obliged on account of mj
trouble to leave a very easy situation abou
a year ago because I could not bland thi
night air aud was constantly taking cold
I have not felt so well for years as I d <
now , and I work hard , too. My friend
remark ray improved appearance , and . '
have gained five pounds in the little tltni
which I have been under treatment , and
am convinced that a cure will be effected

The disease from which Mr. lloo\cr suf
feretl was caUrrhfil consumption. Th
disease originated In a cold , which became
chronic , As a result came the forma'ion ' c
mucus , which was partly discharged I rot
the head or dropped down the throat am
was partially haWKed up. A large portioi
of it , however , was swollowed , passing inti
the stomach and causing catarrh there
The mucus farmed by catarrh decompose !
and when it reaches the stomach is titli-
absorbed in the blood , piodncJng a !
manner of evil symptoms , or else coat
over the food with a slimy material , whicl
prevents the food fr < -Coming : In contac
with the digestive jufceg In the stomacl
Th rfood itself decomposes , forms gas o
"wind in larfje quantities , and cautcs a feel
ing of bloating or fullness after eating.
When the catarrh has existed in th
head and the upper part of the throat fo
any length of time the patient living in
district where people are subject to catarrl
al affection and the disease has been le
uncured , the catanh invariably , sometime
slowly , extends down the windpipe nn
into the bronchial tubes , which tubes cor
vcy the air to the different parts of th
lungs. The tubes become allccted froi
the swelling and the mucus arising froi
catarrh , and in some instances become
plugged up so that the air cannot get in t
freely as it should. Shortness of breat
follows and the patient breathes with labc
and difficulty.
In either case there is a sound of cracl
ling and wheeling inside the chest. /
this stage of the disease the breathing
usually more rapid than when in healt
