It Is Not Expected that the Russian Monarch Will Go to Germany. Loxpvox, Aug. 28.—There is little otpecta- tion in Berlin now that the visit of the czar of Russia to Emperor William, which was only recently fixed for thé 24th of this month, will come off at alls The emperor's published plans for his move- ments from this out appear to leave little room for so important an event as the czat's visit and it looks as though Willam nas as little expectation of seeing the czar in Berlin shortly as have his subjects, The continental bourses echo the distrust of the czur’s intentions and n securities have again experienced @ decline which the free buying of thé an speculators could not measutably In explanation of the abandonment of the long overdue visit the German press assert that the proud Russian monarch grew furious on reading the report of William's speech reeent! in toasting the emperor of Austria, in whic he referred to the possibility of German and Austrian soldiers fighting shoulder te shoulder, It is even stated that THE CZAR HASTILY PENNED A NOTE IN BIS OWN HAND, which he dispatched by a special messenger to Emperot William, asking him to explain this language and intimating that a visit to Berlin on his part was impossible so long as this open threat to Russia was allowed to stand unex- plained. This note, according to the reports, was far from conciliatory in its nature and the emperor's reply was at no paine to put the angry monarch in a better humor. All these reports can scarcely be traced to an authori- tative source, but they seem to obtain uni- versal credence in Berlin, and the official press allows them to go uncontradicted, WHICH ALONE IS SIGNIFICANT. However, all guessing will be at an end in @ few days when the czar leaves Copenhagen. Should he set his face southward from there Europe will take a long breath of relief, but if he goes back to his own capital it can only be accepted throughout Germany as indicating a marked hostility to the fatherland. Indeed Germany, for some time, has hoped for nothing more from Russia than a pretense of friendli- ness and even this has all along been accepted with some comfort, as showing at least that considerations of prudence, if nothing more, prevents the “bear” from showing 4 Should this pretense be now abandoned it would be accepted as the first signal for the clash of arms, —— THE CITY OF PARIS.

It is believed that he will remove with his baby to May’s Landing tomorrow, where he can pay daily visits to the jail, Another attempt will be made today to take the ante-mortem statement of the nurse.

MEMBERS OF BIG FAMILY INCLINED TO ATTRIBUTE ‘HIS CONDITION TO TRE ELIXIR—HE 18 8AID, HOW- ZVER, TO MAVE MANY OTHER ATL MENTS Littiy TO KILL NIM—A SENSATION IN THE SOUPHWEST. Tn the front room in a two-story btick house, No, 470 E street southwest, is the almost if not quite lifeless body of Hugh Myers, and hus condition ie today being discussed consid- constant sufferer from rhematism, called at the office of Dr, Hamilton BE. Leach and requested that surgeon to give him an injection of the Brown-Sequard elixir. This, he believed, would id him of some of his ailments, and now the family and for same time before he decided to accede to the request of Myers, but finally concitided that it was @ good oppottunity to test the metits of the alleged discovery, and that same rye | procured the necessary materials front a saan tered ram. The elixir was compounde: according to the great piraenn prescription, and in less than an hour from the dissection of the parts Dr. Leach had injected into Myers’ left arm twenty drops of the oligir of life. This was done in the presence of Dr. Harrison Crook, who had been called injection and went his dui PO night Creed ! - hh stree ‘oday Myers is dyin, one tite dead—-aid white he han boon afore’ by a number of dangerous diseases, any one of them sufficient to cause his death, the neighbors in- sist that the end has come prematurely and ie due to the so-called “elixir.” STATEMENTS OF MYERS’ RELATIVES. The conditions and symptoms, which have Geveloped from timé of the injection up to to- day, were readily given tom Stan reporter by members of Myers’ family. One of Myers’ sisters, who resides in South Washington, said she saw him on Thursday morning, the da; following the ‘ation and he said to her: * had that stuff thrown into me last night.” “What stuff?” she asked. “That elixir of life they're talking about so Much howadays.” “What did you do that fot?” was her next ery. . “Well,” he said, “I believed it might make me well. People told me it would cure me, but it don't seem to be oe “Right after I took it I walked up to the cor- ner of 7th and E streets and there I almost fell down. My legs were almost useless and I stag- gered A ere the fire plug. I was blind for half an hour.” “Did that do it?” asked his sister, meaning by “that” the elixir. “J don’t know,” be replied. “it might have = that; if it was I'll never gay a word about His sister then told him he onght not to have permitted such an operation because his blood was in such bad condition that he might have known he couldn’t stand such & powerful change. WHAT OCCURRED AFTER THE INJECTION. The injection was given on a Wednesday evening. No beneficial results were visible or felt, but when Myers returned home early on Friday morning his eldest daughter was surprised to see inar he staggered, He was not # drinking man, but whe did not say che then, After awhile ho lay downon his be and he made peculiar noises, He seemed to be in when at length his daughter went to him and asked thim what was the mat- ter he said he was freezing; that he felt as though there was a lump of ice on his heart. Following the chill came fever and then there was a succession of chills and fever until typhoid fever came and stopped the chills, This complicated matters considerably, for Myers was previously a lon; sufferer from rhenm: and had, beyon question, Bright's dise: @ serious accom- panying affection of the heart, For these ailments Dr. Leach had been treating him for some time, and it is these which Dr. Crook says are carrying him off, Myers complained continually of the pain which was in his left arm (the arm into which the dose had been injected), and on Sunday the second finger of his left hand swelled up to a consider- able size. It hurt Myers not a little, so on Mon- day he asked one of his sisters to get a needle and let out some of the purulent matter. She did so and the outflow was bloody pus and at the last a greenish-tinted semi-fluid. This, the family claimed, was evidence of blood poison- ing, attributable directly to the elixir, but the doctors dispute the statement. NO SIGNS OF BLOOD POISONING, There was no appearance of blood poisoning when Tue Staz reporter went up stairs to look atthe dying man, Not one of the symptoms oi that dread disease could be seen anywhere. Myers has been delirious al- most continuously ever since last Satur- day week. Lucid intervals have been so rare and so brief that it has been impossible to consult with him as to his personal or spirit- ual affairs. He had purchased the house in which he lived and was supposed to have ac- cumulated little money besides, but of this nothing is definitely known, AROUND THE DEATH BED, Since 11 o'clock yesterday morning he has been entirely unconscious, and when the reporter left the room children, sisters and sympathiz- ing friends were weeping over the form of one they loved. Their subdued eries and the heavy stertorous breathing of the dying man made the scene a painful one. At the foot of the narrow stairway, his face blistered with scalding tears, sat little eleven-year-old Joe— Myers’ only boy--weeping as though his heart was broken and bringing tears afresh to many éyes by his sobbing cries of ‘Papa! Papal” The other children are girls, one aged fifteen the other only six. For sixteen months the little ones have been motherless and now they will be alone in the world, Rev. Dr. Meador, pastor of the Fifth Baptist church, ealled this morning and did what he could to comfort the stricken ones. WHAT THE ATTENDING PHYSICIAN BATS. Dr. D. H. Hazen, who was called into the case this morning, was seen by a Star reporter E this afternoon at 8 o'clock, He had just tome from Myers’ home, and said that death might bs pe poh to enter there at any moment. When ed if he thought the eee was dying of blood poisoning caused by the elixir he said: “Hod I been called into asd without any knowledge of its history I would not have suspected any biood poisoning or other exciting cause, Myers’ condition was enemic, was weak, or be would not have sub- mitted to the operation of injection.’ ” When Dr, Leach went to Atlantic City with the Light Infantry he requested Dr. Crook to look after the case, Dr. h will probably return to the city tomorrow. Da. Crook stated to o Stan it that the case was undoubtedly and indisputab): one of typhoid fever. with — whie the elixir had simply nothing todo. If the elixir had caused it there would have been active blood poisoning.” : MYERS’ MANY AILMEWTS, Hugh Myers wat a soldiét in the anion army during the war of the rebellion, but was dis- charged because of disability. He caught cdld and it affected his eyes.

See eee BLOCK AGAIN ARRESTED. Another United States Commissioner Is- sues a Warrant for Him. The fourth warrant of the kind against In- spector Block of the police force was issued to- | dap on the oath of Ferdinand Lowenstein. It charges substantially the same as the other | warrants, “compounding a felony.” The | warrant — this time was issued | by United States Commissioner | Warren ©, Stone, United States Commissioner | Johnson decided that such an officer had no | jurisdiction in the matter. The warrant, like the last one that was “thrown out of court,” charges that the offense alleged was committed in connection with the arrest of Frank Munroe elias Brainard and the robbery of a diamond ring from Mrs. Alice Parker. The history of the officer's connection with the arrest of Munroe has already been detailed in the Police Court in the case that was tried there and of which charge the officer was acquitted, The warrant issued today was served on the officer by Deputy Marshal Joyce, who found him at ‘police headquarters, The officer ac- ee him to the office of Commissioner | e. The Commissioners’ attention was called to the case by Mr. H. E. Davis, counsel for the oflicer. Commissioner Stone explained that under the law he was obliged to issue the war- rant because the charge was sworn to by Lowenstein. He understood that the allega- tions were the same as those filed before Com- missioner Johnson with the exception that the value of the ring was placed at more than $35. The Commissioner said he would ive the officer all the time he wanted to inquire into the matter and did not even require the officer's personal recog- nizance for his appearance. The ease went over until 10 o’clock Monday morning. —<—— AN INTERESTING POINT SETTLED. Judge Mills Holds the Head of a House Responsible for the Dogs. Three colored men—John Mitche}!, Samuel Boswell and William Jackson—were before the Police Court this morning, charged by Police- man Proctor with failing to have collars and tags on their dogs. Lawyer Jordan defended them and attempted to show that one of the dogs belonged to the daughter of one of the defendants, “I suppose that he owns both the dog and the daughter,” said Officer Proctor. “You forget,” said counsel, “that the days of slavery have passed.” “I forget nothing of the kind,” said the of- ficer, I have some boys and they belong to me, and they are not slaves.” “Well,” added the lawyer, ‘you don’t know the law.” Judge Mills decided that the head of the house was responsible for the dogs on their premises and held the defendants guilty. Mitchell produced a license and was ac- quitted. The others were given until tomor- row to procure tags. ——_-—___ WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP.

They stated that this morning they left their homes and walked down the railroad from Fairfax to Burke's station. They did this to avoid the father of the bride, who is the agent of the railroad company at Fairfax station. They did not care that he should know their inten- tions in advance. One of the rooms in the court house was opened and they were soon ready for the minister. An offer to procure a bridesmaid was accepted, “if it didn't cost too much,” and when the announcement was made to the copyists of the recorder’s office a number left their desks to volunteer without charge. The first who came was sceepted and in a moment the minister tied the knot and they received the congratulations of those assem- | bled and left, ——._—_.
