PLEASURE TRIPS,

Numerous Kxcurslons the Coming Summer «t Reasonable Kates.

Whether the tourist's fancy directs hiin to the New Euglaud States or the Atlantic seaboard to the South or to the lake region of the North or to the Rocky Mountains and the wonderland beyond the Mississippi, he will be given opportunity to indulge his tastes at a small cost for railroad fare this year. Excursions for July include low rates over the Penn'v'ia to Baltimore for the Baptist Y. P. Union Meeting to Asbury Park for the L. A. W. meeting, and to Boston for the Christian Eudeavor Convention, and to Denver Col., account the National Educational Association meeting. In August excursion tickets will be on sale over the Pennsylvania Lines to Boston, acc-junt the Knights Templar Conclave. The sale of low rate tickets will not be restricted to members of the organizations mentioned, but the public generally may take advantage of them.

The Asbury Park excursion will doubtless attract many to that delightful ocean resort. Atlantic City, Cape May, Long Branch a -.d all the famous watering places along the New Jersey coast are located the Pennsylvania Lines, hecce this will be a desirab'e opportunity to visit the seashore. The Denver excursion will be ja*f. the. thing for a sight-seeing jaunt thro' 1 he far West, as tickets will be honored t*oing one way and returning a different route thrniah the most romantic sct*i:erv beyond the Mississippi and M's^ouii vers.

Xarrsgansett Pier, Nantucket and the Cape Cod resorts to Ne* York and thence through the agricultural paradise of the Keystone State, along the Susquehanna and Juniata rivers, over the Alleghenies, around famous H"-rse Shoe Curve, through historic Joliu'town and the coke and iron regions of Western Pennsylvania. It is also expected that Boston excursionists over the Pennsylvania Lines will be privileged to return via Baltimore and Washington if they so desire.

In addition to the above, there will be plenty of other cheap excursions over the Pennsylvania Lines to various points.

CHICAGO TRAGEDY EXPLAINED.

The Dead Man Wanted Jloncy to Go to St.

Paul Where His Baby Daughter Had

Died the Night Before—Testimonials

Wiiicli Spoke of Him as a Man of In

tegrity.

CHICAGO, July 10.—The body of the miin who was shot and killed by Policeman Rosenthal in front oi the Auditorium Sunday night has been identified as that of Charles Gorman, WHO lived at the Hotel Somerset, Twelfth and Wabash avenue. From the lanundry mark on his shirt he was supposed to be C. E. Cole, but the linen was borrowed before the shooting occurred, and his real identity was established by the man who had befriended him.

Monday afternoon Gorman received a telegram from his wife in St. Paul, saying that his baby daughter had died the night before and urging him to come to her. He made every effort to secure money to take him to where lus dead baby was, and after repeated failures, in a moment of desperation, he attempted to rob Saloonkeeper McGlom that he might have funds with which to go to his wife.

C. E. Cole, the man who loaned Gorman the linen and who identified his body, is in charge of the diningroom of the Union League club. He roomed at the hotel with Gorman and kuew him well. Monday night about 6 o'clock Gorman met Cole as the latter was leaving the clubhouse and showed him a telegram from his wife telling him of the death of his child. He tried to sell a large revolver to Cole, but r.he latter did not have the amount necessary, $18. Then the two men tried to pawn the weapon, but could yeo no more than «JM oil it., viormau IIKU tried to trade at the railroad offices for a ticket, to Sc. Paul, his efforts bo in. uusnecessl'ui.

Tho two men then went back to tho hotel. Gorman was very uneasy, and about 7 o'ci-.«'k said lie must, renew ins efforts to gee the money. He star.e.t down town and was noc seen again Cole until his body was ldentiucd. in Gorman's trunk was iound letters

st'

recommendation from various barrooms where he ha I been emuloyed, one them being from the Grand Pacific hotel in Chicago. All the testimonials spoke of him as a man of integrity.

Among the dead man's letters was found one dated Aug. 7, lb!Kj, signed by Harry W. Stiles of Portland, Or., recommending him as a good bartender. Another letter was given Gorman by Hugo Green, manager of the Hotel Grunuewald, New Orleans, on May 1, 189-1, and speaks highly of lnm as an honest, capable man.

Re was earned ro tut) hospital in a terribly bruised condition.

As tiie men were sleeping in inner rooms, away from tho street, it is scart-eiy. believed that all could have escaped. This can be deiinitely determined, however, only by a search of the ruins. The liremen succeeded

FINANCIAL PANIC.

Forged Binds IScing Discovered by the Thousands.

GRKHSVILLE, O., July 10.—Ansonia, a village eight miles north of this city, is in the biggest financial scare that has ever occurred out there. Z. T. Lewis, a bond dealer of Urbana, O., built a large 3-story business block there some four years ago, and together with James Stewart began a banking business which* flourished beyond expectation.

Last Saturday it developed that some of Lewis' bonds in Highland county were forgeries and on Monday those having money deposited in the bank began to withdraw it and in a short time the money began to be short, when some of the business men discovered that Lewis had placed a $50,000 mortgage on his business block in Ansonia early the morning. This scared them so much that they at once demanded some kind ofV^u/urity and most of them received notes on the bank as collateral security.

Lewis disappeared Monday night and nothing has been heard from him since. It is believed that he has taken his life and parties are searching for him.

Since his disappearance forged bonds to the value of nearly $75,000 have been found. Lewis has bought and sold during tho past year $3,000,000 worth of bonds and there is mucn uncertainty among those who have had dealings with him. Among the bogus securities are $25,000 Highland county jail bonds and $40,000 Kenton City school bonds and 10 $1,000 Tippecanoe City, Ind., school bonds. They are all pronounced forgeries. They are held in Indianapolis. Mortgages and judgments against Lewis aggregating over $90,000 have been taken since yesterday morning.

[Copyright, 1SP5, by John Clark Ridpath.] XX.—FKOM DRESDEN TO ELBA VIA Moscow.

In tho early spring of 1812 Napoleon had his court in Dresden. Payeautry could go

110

further than was witnessed

there. He was surrounded with a retinue of veritable kings and princes. The princesses were there also, headed by the mother of tho King of Rome.

On tho 2!)th of May, the march to the Niemen began. More than half a million of men, gathered from nearly a score of nations, moved forward. Tho cynical Bourrienne says that sixteen races, like many chained dogs, advanced on Russia. Tho military genius of all Central and Western Europe was in the train. Napoleon was backed by all

'm,j 7'# •!,/

the resources of Europoan civilization. He had his veterans and his marshals. He had his underkings. He had his genius, and tho experience of more than fifteen years of warfare.

As for Russia, she had savage forces, vast domains, an assemblage of barbarous peoples, inacessible cities, impassable rivers and illimitable steppes. She had also patriotism and physical hardihood. She had the Cossacks. She knew herself and her enemy knew her not. She had winter—sublime, yellow-black winter, blown out of the hyperborean caverns, uufelt by the men of Western Europe.

O11 the 24th of June, the Grand Army, crossing the Niemen, headed towards Moscow. Tbe advance was but little impeded. The Russians fell back before the rosistiwss invaders.

The Russians under Kutusoff receded during July and the first half of August. On the 16th oi that month tho first battle was fought at Smolensko. This place the French pounded into ruins and captured with a loss to themselves of nearly 12,000 men. Dorogobourg, Viazma, and (ijatsk fell before the invaders. The Russians durst not stand in tho open field. Not until the 7th of September did Kutusoli plant himself on the Moskwa and offer battle to his antagonist. There, at tho villago of Borodino, was fought out the greatest murder of modern times. A thousand cannon vomited death all day. Under the smoke a quarter of a million of men struggled like tigers. At nightfall tho French had tho field. But the defeated Russians hung sullenly to the skirts of tin bloody arena, where they had left more than 40,000 of their dead and wounded. The French losses were almost equally appalling. "Siro, "said Marshal Ney, "we would better withdraw, and reform." "Thou advise a retreat, Michel?" said the marble head, as it turned to the Bulldog of Battles.

Kutusoff abandoned Moscow. Most of tho inhabitants receded with him from the city to the great plains eastward. On the 15th of September, Napoleon entered tli0 ancient capital. Tho streets were as a necropolis. All was silence. The conqueror took up his residence in the old palace of the Czars. He had now performed this act in nearly all the royal places of Europe. He had walked unbidden into Schonbrunn. In the vault at Potsdam he had put his hand on the catafalque of Frederick the Great. Ho had trod tho unwelcoming slabs of the Escurial. He had wintered in Warsaw. Now ho slept in the Kremlin.

Moscow promised rest after hardship. Hore we will spend the winter in the luxurious quarters of the Muscovite grandees and metropolitans. Lo, out of the Bazaar, near the Kremlin, bursts a volume of flame 1 The surrounding region is lighted with the glare. The equinoctial gale springs up. The city is on fire in a thousand places. Skulkers have remained behind and given us to the flames. The French army tries in vain to quench the conflagration. For five days thoro is the roar of universal combustion. Then it subsides but Moscow is in ruins. Napoleon returns to the Kremlin and opens vain negotiations with the Czar. Alexander and Kutusoff will not hear. The French are in the ashes of a burnt-up Russian city.

Already winter was at hand. Snow was falling. The Soldier of Fortune has at last iound his destiny. Oil tlie 19th of October, he leaves Moscow, and the retreat begins to the Niemen. On every side the Cossacks arise and assail the fugitives. A hundred and twenty thousand men roll away across the hostile world. At the Beresina the bridges are broken down under the retreating army. In tho following spring, when the ice-gorges go down the river, 12,000 dead Frenchmen shall be washed up !rom the floods 1

There is constant battle on flank and •ear. All stragglers perislil The army

dwindles. Ney brings up the rear-guard wasted to a handful. At the passage of the Niemen, soiled with dirt, blackened with smoke, without insignia, with only drawn sword and facing backwards towards tho hated region, tho "Bravest of the Brave" crosses the bridge. He is the last man to save himself from the horrors of the Campaign of Russia.

Tho remnants of the Grand Army find refu«o in Konigsbevg. Napoleon, after Moscow, had taken to a sledge, and had sped across the snow covered wastes of Poland on his way to Paris. He came there unannounced. At four o'clock on the following morning, some ono found him in his offico at the Tuileries with his war-map of Europe spread before him on the floor!

As soon as it was known that the Grand Army was under tho snows of Russia, there wero signs of upheaval though all the borders of tlio West. The Germanic States were first to profit by the disasters of tho French. Frederick William gave his hand to the Czar. Tliero was a revolt in Hamburg. The Confederation of tho Rhino began to fall to pieces. Alexander sent an army to Berlin Napoloon must guard his eastern frontier or perish.

The turmoil of 1813 began 011 the 2nd of May with the battlo of Lutzen. Within crediblo speed Napoleon had planted his new armies on a line extending from Lubec to Venice. At Lutzen the French were victorious. Frederick William, Alexander, and Napoleon wero once more on the same field I On the 31st of May, the Emperor hurled 125,000 men on tho allies at Bautzen, and won another victory. Davout retook Hamburg, and terribly punished that place for its defoction. Napoleon held Dresden in one hand and routed tho alii "'/I) the other until all his antaqouistn were glad to accept an armistice.. They agreed to convene at Prague for making a troaty of peace.

But secret Jy, in the interim, the Czar and Frederick William, aided by England, constructed tho Fifth Coalition. Austria and Saxony wero won over to the league. The father of Maria Louisa perfidiously entered the lists against her husband. On the 20th of August, after the truce had expired, the Emperor met tho Prussians and Russians at Dresden, and gained another victory. But his enemies wore only beaten—not overwhelmed.

Tho war in other parts of the field bore hardly 0:1 the French. At Grossboeren tho allies defeated Oudinot, and on the 20th of August, the battle of Katsbach was won by Blucher over Macdonald, who suffered heavy losses in men and guns. Bernadotto, who had renounced the Emporor, came down against Ney at Donnewitz, and there, on the 6th of September, disastrously defeated him. Tho allies concentrated in great force ou Leipsic, and on tho 16th of October were beaten there by Bonaparto. Vainly he sought to open negotiations. The second battle of Leipsio was fought 011 the 18tli of the month— a terrible conflict in which Napoleon" was forced from the field. The city wa9 taken tho bridges blown up andPoniatowsky drowned in the Elstor.

Tho French, hard-pressed, werer obliged to fall back from the frontier of Germany. I11 November, Napoleon reached Paris. Ho sought in all possibl ways to conclude a peace, but also exerted himself during the winter to prepare for the coming avalanche. Beyond the Rhine tho French power was broken up. Hanover was recovered by the allies. Holland proclaimed William I. of Orange. Jerome had to abdicate the throne of Westphalia. The small princes of Germany took back their ancient estates. Norway went to Sweden. Denmark leagued with Great Britain. The Austrian^ over ran the Ulyrian provincos. Murat, king of Naples, made a treaty with Austria. Only Eugene, viceroy of Italy, remained loyal in support of tho emperor.

In the beginning of 1814 was begun the so-callod Campaign of France. Napoleon everywhere confronted hi.s enemies. All tho eastern borders wero darkened with the oncoming armies of the Coalition. Wellington, who in the preceding summer had won the great battlo of Vittoria, was now in command of tho allies 011 the side of Flanders. Napoleon gave the Pope his liberty, and restored him to his States. All the whales and monsters of the Middle Ages came up from tho sea he threw to this one a bait and to that one a tub. The Austrians under Schwartzenburg crossed the Rhino. Blucher also crossed, atr Coblontz. The Russians came by way of Holland. Bernadotto pressed southward with 100,000 men.

Tho struggle that ensued wa3 without a parallel in history. Napoleon, like King John at Poitiers, warded right and warded left. He fought ono battlo after another, until both Blucher and Schwartzenburg were crushod, and Austria suod for peace. But tho Germanio powers returned to the battle with the powerful support of Russia and Swedeu and England and the French began to recede. It was now seen that the allied generals had learned from the lion many of his own arts of war.

Napoloon, with his usual audacity, plunged into Germany the allies, instead of following him, pressed ou towards Paris, and the Emporor was obliged to return. Arriving at Fontainebleau, he found that Alexander and Frederick William wero already in his capital. Europe was in an uproar. Tha French Empire was sinking to its knees. Such legislative authority as existed in Paris was asserting itself for poaoe audi abdication. On the 11th of April, the Emperor agr^ to withdraw in favor of his son but the triumphant allies would have nothing leas than the absolute. The absolute was accepted by th» Man of Destiny. To him was given, instead of the Empire of Europe, the island of Elba, with its ninety square miles of petty mountains, its sardines, its crabapples, and its small wine! Besides this, in compensation for tho arowns of Caesar and Charlemagne, w® ivill give Gt leral Bonaparte a pension if 3,0)0,000 Italics!
