For Bix Months Past—Another Bulld- ing Association—"'Dick" Fos- ter Dies—Drevitios [FROM THE B LINCOLN BUREAU.] Tha burglars were abroad in the city the last two nights, and 1t 18 evident that the city bas a gang of the festive profes- sion working the place. There has searcely been a time this season that some of this class of work has not been reported, but as the state fair draws near the active professors in the dark lantern business aro evidently settling down upon the city for professional work. Early Sunday morning scemed to be a favor- able time for the workers. Up to yester- day six partics who had been visited had related their experience. At the Wash- ington house two parties were the visit- ors, and they entered a room occupied by two boardois, One of the men was in the roum ut the time, and while one burglar held the person quiet with a gun the other went through the clothes of the man, with poor results, financially. At the S oga house the burglars regaled themseives with all the cigars in the house, and three other private houses were raided, but their harvest at all three places was light.

A. R. camp fires. The chaplains of the regiment during the war had charge of the mails for the regiments to which they were attached. 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 trom one-half to two-thirds of the soldier boys filled up the chaplain’s tent with such stercotyped inquires ns these: *Any mail yet, chaplain?” “‘Have you heard from the mail?"” Do you know when the mails will come? ‘‘What do you think is delaying the mail?"

Procuring the bottom of an old hard tack box he marked it with char- conl and nailed it on a_tree in front of his tent so that all might see this notice: THE CHAPLAIN DOES NOT KNOW WHEN THE MAIL WILL ARRIVE. The next anxious enquirer who came nlonfi was a reckless yonng wag. He gazed for a while at the notice and then vering the piece of charcoal which ehaplain had dropped on the ground at the crmpletion of the sign, he seizod it and added these words: AND HE DON'T CARE A D——N. The chaplain took in the sign and never put out another one. - up to August 1, and the lists are not un- interesting. In February there were fourtoen accidents, none of which at the time of the revorts had terminated fa- lnll{. ‘I'he parties injured were four brakemen, five switchman, one conduc- tor and one road master. In March the company had sixteen ac- cidents, one of which was fatal. In this number tive were switchmen, four brake- men, four conductors, two not employe’s of the rond and one engineer. April leads the six month's record with twen- ty-three accidents, one of them being fatal to a tramp, In this month the in- jured were six brakemen, nine switch- , oné conductor, one engineer and ‘five non employe's of the road. The month of May recorded ten acci- dents with two killed. The _in- lesoove. jured were four brakemen, four The five large switohmen, one section hand, | castings,that when together will form the and one not ip the employ of the com- pany. The death record increases in June, The total accidents in the month being twelve with three of the victims killed. Of these five were not employes, three were switchmen, three brakemen and ong fireman, The death rate, however, reaches the ‘highest number in the month of July, there being tifteen injuries in the montu and six of them resulting in death. The number injured and killed wore largel, not employes of the road, but the mont!l was one of heavy accidents to the com- puny, Ten of the injured and killed were not employes,three were brakemen one a fireman and one an engineer. It will be seen thercfore that in the six months the number of accidents was even ninety with twelve of them fatal. One fact shown by the report only adds ovidence to the fact that of all classes of work coupling cars is the most dangerous. 1In thesix months fifty-one of the accidents were to brakemen and switchmen, and forty-three of these accidents were re- ported as resalting from coupling cars.

T, Lovls THE GROST OF SAMUEL RORN. The 014 Hide House in South8t. Louis the Place of Btrange Soenes. NO DOUBTING OF THE FACTS. Jerry Pagel's Victim Comes Back in Bpirit to Haunt the Place of Mis Murder—The Stories of the Terrified Witnesses, The people of South St. Louis are awe. stricken in the presence of the exciting demonstrations of the ghost of a murder- ed man, whose slayer is to be hanged this month by due processof law. When the ghost had a corporeal existence on earth it was known as Samuel Kohn, and its business was to buy hides and fat from the butohers of the city for the firm of Norman Brown & Co. The firm was doing & good business, and its city buyer, who was an active and popular young man, temperate in his habits and honest and straightforward in his deal- ings, was one of their most valued em- ployes. He made friends rapidly, and in the fall of 1885 he was the best agent of a hide-buying house in the city, and was widely known among the butchers. Thenhe was murdered by a drunken,disso- lute wretch, Jerry Pagels. Pagels was the city huyer of hides and fat for E. S. Brooks, a business competitor of Norman Brown. He had been a good busines: man but had fallen “into dissi- pated habits, and ag his craving or liquor grew upon him his work was neglected,and his slip-shod business methods become unsatisfactory to his em- ployers and objectionable to the butchers who were selling him their hides. He continued to drink, and the butchers be- gan to carry their wares 10 Kohn, whose manner pleased them, and whose settle- ments were prompt and accurate. As Pagels lost his cheuts he drank more deeply, and, discovering that Kohn was getting his trade, he swore vengeance against his innocent rival, His threats against the life of Kohin were publicly made, and came 10 the ears of the young hide-buyer himself,who paid no attention to them. They were the mere vaporings of adrunken brain for a long time, but continuous absorption of liquor finally brought Pagels to the verge of delirum tremens, and in an alcoholic frenzy he oarried his wicked intention into effect. THE CRIME. November 10, 1885, had been & busy day for Kohn, bad been employved from the early morning until late in the aftermoon reveiving bides in the ware- house, in the alley, and weighing them on a huge pair of platform scales in the room. At 5 o'clock he had tinished with the butchers,and was sitting on the scales, running over the figures in the little memorandum-book in which he kept his accounts, when a little boy ran up the alley to the open warehouse door and putin his head as he called: “‘Mr. Kohn, there’'s a man out here wants to see you.” “All right, I'm coming, replied Kohn, thinking another butcher was waiting outside with a load of hides. These were his last words. As he appeared at the door, Pagel's, who wag walting in the alley by the doorway, raised a double- barrelled shotgun to his shoulder. ‘‘Sam, —— you, I want to see you!" he called, and tired. . ‘The buckshot pierced the abdomen of Kohn, and he fell across the threshold af the door fatally wounded. Pagels looked down at him a moment, and then ran down the street. The murder had been seen, and the police were in the alley a minutes later. Kohn died in two days, and Pagels was arrested while hiding on the day after. He was tried, convicted and sentenced to death, and unless the governor interfers he will be hung on the morning of August 12. He has been sul- len, unrepentant and defiant in jail, and has not once shown any sign that he re- gretted his cowardly crime. FIRST APPEARANCE OF THE GHOST, Kohn's place after his death was given 10 Albert Brown, the brother of Kohn’s employer, aud he found it nececs- sary soon after taking charge of the large business which had been built up by the murdered man to employ an assistant, George Knecht. Both had been intimate friends of the murdered man, and frequently talked of his death and the fate of his murderer, Both are clear-headed business-men, and neither is a spiritualist, a member of any society of physical research, u theosophists, or any other kind of an investigator or discoverer of occult phenomena. Until Thursday night all they knew about ghosts was that they were unpleasant creatures to have about the house. That night they learned something more. They had been detained in the hide warehouse by some late purchases beyond their wont, and 11 o'clock found ‘them sorting the hides into piies. They worked by & dim lamp, which they moved about with them, as they threw the hides into heaps, and which oast long, quivering shadows down along the floor and up among the beams of the roof. In ome corner the long scales, on which Kohn sat a few minutes before he was murdered, threw out an uncertain form on the wall, its arms and bodi; making & long, slim shadow and a broader one underneath, strongly uum(cstive of agallows. 1t may have n this, or the strange influences of the hour, or the unusual silence, that made the two men fall to talking about Kohn and his murde, ahd they had been on the subjeot bt & minute or two when a tall bals of hides, just outside the circle of bright light made by the lamp,toppled over and fell to the floor, sending the echoes rolling through the building. Botb men straighten up from their stooping position and stared at each other, with their hearts beating rapidly. ACCOUNTING FOR THE EVENT. “Must have been overbalanced,'' sug- gested Brown. “Yes, but it scared me at first,” as- sented Kneeht, with a half laugh, full of nervousness. As he spoke there eame a clang and a clatter from the scales in the corner, like the noise wade by one rolling something to be weighed on them and tossing the weights on the bar. Brown grasped the lamp and held it above his head, dispell- ing the shadows on the wall and illumin- ating clearly the corner where the scales stood. They were not moving and no weights were on the bar, but as the two men looked there came auother series of wetalic noises from them, a rattie ot 'elf:u and a clashing of the parts to- gether, and at the same time the thumps of bales of hides being rolled about were heard in every part of the building, with the simultaneous sound of the mov- mg of the fut barrels, unmistakable to the ears of the experienced men who heard them, The noises continued for some minutes, while the two men stood rooted to the floor, seeing wmothing and hearing all around them sounds they kunew were supernatural, "Layt'ngo home," Brown at last pro- posed. The two put on their coats and went to their homes, ing before they ppried to avoid ridic ‘ by telling no ome ot their fi 4 ldny they both went through building and examined it in broad daylight. They saw nothing hostly, and their fears of the night be- ore appeared absurd. They resolved to investigate the wmystery, however, and Friday night they remained in the ware- house again. A SKOOND MANIFESTATION, ° Exactly at 12:20 o’clock a barrel of fat feli over on 1ts side and rolied up against fHE OMAHA DAILY BEE: 'UESDAY. AUGUST 9. 1887, the scales, and the the noises they had heard the night before were repeat- ed. When they went up ana stood on the scales the clatter of. the weighta con- tinued, although there appeared to be no way of producing the sounds, The noise of hides and barrels moving was as plain a8 it had been, but after the first warning that they were about to begin, nothing was heard. Brown and Knecht at last took themselves out, of the warehotise, not so much frightened this time as puz- vled, and over a glass of beer in a neigh- boring ssloon discussed the mystery with the saloonkeeper. *'It's Kohn's ghost,” said that individ- ual, positively, “‘and you can't lay it un- tul l"ngell is hanged. ‘The story spread over all that part of the city Saturday, and Brown and Knecht were beulqed all day by n- quiries, Thu{ were Inughed at by some and believed by others, but the theory that Kohn's ghost was haunting the sceno of the murder became the popular one. NO DOUBTING OF PACTS, Saturday night Brown and Knecht took a number of butchers into the ware rooms, and they came over to the saloon about midnight more serious than butchers generally are, and ready to maintain all thetwo hide buyers had told of their two nights’ experiences. They had heard all the noises of the moving of barrels and bales of hides, and had carefully examined the phenomenon of the active scales but the inexvlicable sounds continued and the business-like ring and creaking of the scales had gone on, even When three butchers got on 1t. As on the other nights, the ghostly signal for the beginning of the uncanny proceedings was given by the falling ‘over of a bale of hides in plain sight of all, but after that the sources of none of the noises were seen: BOLVING THE MYSTERY. Yesterday the people living in the vi- cinity of the warchouse had rlnmy of food™ for gossip, and by nightfall the alley was filled with men talking in a whisper and listening. Nobody went mto the warehouse last night, and the two buyers, Knecht and Brown, staid at home. ~ The ghost hunters, however, stood on the strest or in the alley until aftor midnight expecting to see or hear something startling, and when they went away two police officers, anxious for dis- tinction as ghost detectives, took up the watch. Another party of investigators will occupy the warehouse to-night. phitie=s dantitie Dyspopsia Makes the lives of many people misera- ble, and often leads to seif-destruction.

MEN WHO “FOUGHT NIT SIGEL" The Ninety-seven Survivors of the Gorman @eneral's Followers. VETERAN'S ANNUAL REUNION. A Generous Verein—Some Famous Men—General Sigel's Pres- . ent Life—A Modest Warrior. New York World: Just forty years nFo the many little states and principalities which go to make up the German empire were tilled with discontented people in rebellion against the form of government in force under King \ilham IV, of Prussia, Nearly all of the surviving men who took ’snn in the movement, which domanded s republican form of government, are now American citizens, and for the purpose of keeping alive the sentiments of those stirring times they, 1n 1870, formed a society known as the *‘Verein der Deutschen Patrioten,’ There were nearly four hundred mem- bers when the society was formed, but now there sre 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 socicty has on its roll such men as Leopold Stinus, Henry Snyder, Colonel Adam_Singes, Dr. Fred- erick Hecker, General Max Weber, € eral Wirle, Peter J. Osterhouse, Hoflm General Ashimilpting, Schurz, General Wesendouck snd Colo- nel Annecke. Besides its commemorative qualities the society 18 also a bene one. Indigent and disabled n are taken care of, and $100 is givel the survivors'of any member who dies. Over $50,000 has thus far been spent by the society, and there is now $4,000 in its treasury, which will, no doubt, supoly all our needs in the future for the young- est member m the society is over sixty years old, and it is only a question of a few years at most when there will be a last survivor. During the last year six of the members have been crossed off the List by death. ‘The movement in which these men played such an active part was unsuc- cessful,but it brought out the talents and strong points of many a man, 1t was just ufter the Napolconic wars. The revolution 1n France had just been con- cluded, and the success of the people there, fired their loss excitable Teutonic neighbors across the Rhine to demand a republican form of government. ‘The feeling was especially strong in the little states of Baden, Hesso and Wurtenberg. The movement developed in 1848 into a general demand for a representation of the people, A convention was held se- cretly, and a provisionary parlinment was called and met at Frankfort-on- Main. This was succeeded in May of that year by the national parliament, which was created by the minority of the government and represented all the Ger- man_ states as well as the German provinces of Austria. The session lasted nearly a year, and the result was that King William 1V. declined the crown of the emperor of Germany oftered by the parhament. Before the Sregular parlia- ment had assembled, the radical wing of the provisionary parliament became dis- satisfied with the political outlook, and teader, Dr. krederick Hecker. called the people of Baden to arms and proclaimed the republic at Constance. Ten thousand men respunded and an unsuccessful at- tompt was made to sieze the capital of the state—Carlsruhe. At this time Gen- eral Sigel had served his time as an offi- cer in the regular army and way on his way to the university at Heidelberg. He was in sympathy with the people, and, insteasd Of golnZ to the university, he went to Muannheim, where he raised 10,000 men, whom he led under the gen- eral-in-chief, Dr. Hecker. Finally, the whole movement was defeated, but in May of the following year another n- surrection broke out, which was partici- pated m by the whole peovle. The en- tire standing army of 20,000 men went over to the insurrectionists. To suppress this movement the prince of Prussia,now Emperor William, invaded the country with 80,000 men. The insurrectionists were commanded by General Wiewslaw- ski, who had become En‘ominont by the insurrection in Poland, and by his” cam- }miguin Sicily, and General Sigel was his_ adjutant-general and chief of staff. This campnign was jntended to defend the parliament against the minority reaction and to maintain the constitution, This trouble lasted for four months, aud in spite of s esses at first the insurrectionists und rencral Sigel, for General Wiewslawski had r signed, were driven back into Switze 1and, where 10,000 men became exiled. At that time there were other msurrec- tions in the neighboring state, and nota- bly m Rhenish Bavaria. where Carl Schurz was a leader. He lent great aid to the insurrectiou in Baden, These peo- ple were all unsuccessful. They wore the leaders, intellectually, of the cauntry and although they were “all, except the most prominent, granted amnesty, they refused to accept it, and during 1849 and 1840 they came to this country. Belonging as they did, to the progress- ive German element, tlw{ soon made their influence felt. All of the German papers which were so active in opposing slavery were either edited or owned by some of the exiled Germans. They were all in sympathy with the republican form of Euvurmnunt. which they found here, and these men who had bean unsucoess- ful ip making the Fatherland bhabitable for themselyes became the bone and sinew of the German people in this countey. When the wur broke out they took an active part, and Goneral Siegel comamanded hundreds of men who fought under him for thelr adepted country,‘as thoy had fought under him in the Ger- man insurroction, Most of them had had the benefit of ® military edueation, and many of them had the opportunity and took it to make names for then: selves. Their number here 18 now less than a hunared. They have lived to see vhat they fonght for granted in their native Iand, and the cause they cham. pioned here successful. General Sigel1s with them all & wniversal favorite. He was a graduate of the military school at Carlsruhe. They saw him made general of infantry, next to field marshal, on the battle field, and when he ealled them to tuke up arms for their adopted country they gladly responded, and now 1n their old age, as they sit at evening and tell their children of the romurk:\tle events in which they participated in their youth, they give as their proud boast that they “fought mit Sigel.” General Sigel is now pension agent here, and his position keeps him bus®. He is very modest, and itis hard to get him to tell how he led his countrymen through the Hartz forest. The Society of German Patriots, of which he has been president for four years, is one of the most influentizl of Germap so- cieties here. Its membership tist will never be increased, and as o society its name will soon be forgotten: but the name of its membsrs and their heroic deeds will live, In 1860 a special amnesty was granted General Sigel, but never availed himself of the privilege to visit Germany, and says he never will., e Do Not be Alarmed at the raising of biood from the lungs.

THIRTY YEARS IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO. One of the Oldest Inhabitants Gives a Thrilling Experience of His Rescue from Death. [, From the Chicngo Daily Ncws June 23, 187 In public places, especially in the summer season, the eye is often attracted by neat decor and ceiling rotection againsi those hu- man pests, the es, wh their purpose a8 the scavengers of the air. The fli?nl employed are ofttimes reall works of art. and the deft way in whlc{l they are attachted to walls and ceilings so as to propect them; gives an impressiorl of airy lightness which is pleasing to the eye. No man has probably spent so much time in Chicago on this line of trade as the sub- ject of the following sketch; He has been a resident of Chicago for thirty years, coming here with his parents when on'y 10 years of age, and having grown up with the city his name is known to thousands of her people, Within a short time such a wonderful change has taken place in his personal ap- pearance that it has attracted the attention of his friends as well as that of a reporter, who called upon him within a day or two 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 years with a lung trouble, which a short time since resulted in _hemorrhage, o 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 in the past two years for medicine and advice, but nothing did me any practical good, I would stop coughing for an hour or so, 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 6o closely my symptoms that I called upoa him at No. 10 Park Row. Dr. McCoy told me that I had catarrhal bronchitis, and there was serions trouble with the right lung in the form of an abscess. I was put under the treatment, and he gave me relief right away. The night sweats with whichI had been troubled have left me and I now rest well. I began the ‘featment on the 28d of May last, I used to cough every morning; would get sick at the stomach. 1 have been very nearly strangled trying to get something up when there was nothing to come up. But now I am doing splen- didly. Have a clear head. I am not clouded up. I can travel all day and not tire out, and I can assure you y work re- quires me to go about a great deal. Iam sutlsfied that If I had not gone under this treatment I should have been compelled to stop work entirely, and this is my busy season. 1 was obliged on account” of my trouble to leavea very easy situation about a year ago because I could not stand the night air aud was constantly taking cold. I have not felt so well for years as I do now, and I work hard, too. My friends remark my improved appearance, and I have gained five pounds in the little time which I have been under treatment, and I am convinced that a cure will be effected. GEORGE W.

The disease originated in a cold, which became. chronic, As a result came the formation af mucus, which was partly discharged irom the head or dropped down the throat and was partially N up. A large portion of it, however, was swollowed, passing into the stomach and causing catarrh there. The mucus formed by catarrh decomposes, and when it reaches the stomach is eitl; absorbed in the blood, producing manner of evil symptoms, or else coats over the food with a slimy material, which prevents the faod from coming in contact with the digzstive juices in the stomach. Thefgod itself decompotes. forms gas or ‘wind in large quantities, and cauces a feel- inwf bloating or fullness after eating. hen the catarrh has existed in the head ang the upper part of the throat for any length of time—the patient living in a district where people are subject to catarrh- al affection—and the disease has been left uncured, the catarrh invariably, sometimes slowly, extends down the windpipe and into the bronchial tubes, which tubes con- vey the air to the different parts of the lungs. The tubes becomc aftected from the swelling and the mucus arising from catarrh, and in some instances becomes plugged up 0 that the air cannot get in as freely as it should, Shortness of breath follows and the patient breathes with labor and difficulty, In either case there isa sound of crack- ling and wheezing inside the chest. At this stage of the disease the breathing is usually more rapid than when in health, The patient also has hot flashes over his body. J Bré)g;fiofi’cuy Late of Bellevue Hospital, N.Y.
