A FBACBMAKXR's LUCK.
While he waa makteg a great noise, Pentx
walked up te htm and begged him te be
quiet He aald tbat tbey were all frleada
together and that there waa no uaa te bare
any quarrelling. Without a word of warn
leg Lelbsley drew back and .tabbed Penli In
the neck with a knife which be held In bla
hand. The act wm be Hidden that tbe ether
men were completely taken aback. They
aaw Lelbaley atrlke at Pentx, but were net cer
tain that be bad a knife at tba time. P.wt
took a aeat, but aoen fainted. Hie oempan
loea aaw tbat be waa badly wounded and
medical aid waa aent ler. In a abort time
Dr. Foreman, Keerman, Welehana and Kar
ate, were en hand. A bed waa made for the
., young man, blanket, having been aeeared
& at the beuaea of the neighbor. The cutting
occurred about a quarter before five o'clock.
Pealc became unconacleoa aoen afterward,
and remained In that condition until almeat
even o'clock. He then eeemed te be getting
batter and about eight o'clock be waa re
moved te the borne of hie father, Ueerge
Pentx, the well known painter, en Weat
King street Dra. Foreman and Ebermaa
remained with him until nine o'clock when
be eeemed te be doing very well. When
PenU'e clothing waa removed It waa found
te be saturated with bleed and there waa
cenaldarable bleed en the fleer of the kitchen
of tba building where tbe catting oeourred.
Tbe wound la en the right aide of the neck
jut te the right or the wind pipe. Tbe knife
pawed downward and backward between tbe
wind pipe and tbe big bleed vessels. Tbe
wound la about an Inch and a hair in depth
and alter tbe young man bad been taken
home it wat aewed up by the physicians.
The reaction wat ae long In Betting In tbat It
waa first believed that Penta would die.
New It la almeat certain that be will recover.
ARRKST or LBIBSLET.
Immediately attar It became known that
Pentt bad been tubbed, a large crowd gain
ered at the building and the excitement waa
very great, aa two third, of tbe people be
lieved that Penta waa dying, la the crowd
waa Lelbaley who made nostteinptteescepe,
but waa walking around maudlin drunk.
Werd bad been aenl te tbe atatlen beuaa and
Offleer Helta aoen arrived. He took Lelbaley
te tba elation beuaa and be went along
quietly. He preteated tbat he did net de the
catting, nor did be knew anything about It
The knife waa net found en him, and
although search waa made at tbe building It
could net be found. Lelbaley waa eeen at
tbe atatlen beuse al 7 o'clock by an Intbl Intbl

tbat ba did net de tbe catting; be amid that
tba naaa bad drank four kega of beer at tba

Beamed te be pretty badly mixed up. Latar

Laat evening Fither A Hassan's comedy
company appeared In Fulton opera house In
the abaurdity entitled "A Celd Day" which
had net been eeen la Lancaster for some
time. The play hat no plot, bat It was pat to
gether In order te give tbe company an op
portunity of making the people laugh. Tba
party or laat night waa net quite tbe eame aa
tba one advertised, nor was It aa strong as
the one which first gave the piece here. It
oentalna a number el Hret-elaas people, how
ever, who work bard te entertain an audi audi
enee. Frank Wills wss ytty funny in the
ebaracter of Jacob Blew, tbe Dutchman, and
be waa well assisted by Edward See aa Able
Effert. Thia pair made plenty or amusement
by their funny aaylnta, acting and comical
appearance. Perklna D. Fiaber at Wtlliam
Quarter did well, snd the same can be said
el Hugh Angler aa Captain Ktdii. The three
ladle of theoempany are pretty and talented.
Miss Ztllna rendered a number of songs in
dlilerent languages and waa repeatedly en en en
oered. Misses Height and Nerma Willa alae
aang well. Mist Marie Heetb, who waa
billed aa a member of the company, was net
here. All through tbe pleee new songs were
Introduced, and tbe entertainment closed
with Ned Uarrlgan'a great tuoeees "Put en

aarr auaatag'. fjellepte.
Dr. Z. T. Sewers, one or tbe meat eminent
phyalclana of Waahlngtea, la aa Interview
with a reporter declared that there la danger
tbat President Cleveland will net live threwgh
bis term unless there ba a change la bla
mode or living. Dr. Sewers, elx months be
fore Mr. Manning's lUneat, made the same
prediction with regard te tbe secretary and
advised a friend te warn him or bla danger.
In tbe Interview Dr. Seware aaya :
It may be deemed impertinent te talk te
tba president through a newspaper man ; but
I knew of be ether way el reaching him
and these about him ae surely. Yeu recall
nay attempts with the friend of Mr. Man
ning aad their irult, and 1 de net feel tbat I
abeuld take the eame cbaneea la thia matter.
1 am personally apprised of the prastdeet's
condition, and, while It la In no sense dan
gerous, it will net be long before there will
be reason for alarm. President Cleveland la
a large, fleshy man, and slnee ba came te the
White Heuse baa gained enormously In
flesh. New, whan he lived In Buffalo It waa
bla habit te take long walk Slnee ba came
here, however, be baa abandoned ever form
or exerelseaava carriage riding. Tbat la or
little or no use, with tbe springs new used
and tbe sntoetn streets ler which Washington
is fameua. The president la a man who
werka with bla bead a great deal ; la, In fact,
an Intense brain worker. He la, In ether
words, a plodder, and bis brain la conse
quently filled with an excess or bleed. What
la the retail T Uewerke with bit bead, eats
enormously and fella te exereltt hit moa mea
dee; hla bleed veesala are weakened, and It
la only a question or time when, In a mo
ment of excitement, ba will bunt a bleed
vessel. I tell yen, at tbe rate President
Cleveland la new living, there la treat dan
gar tbat na will net live throughout hla
term. Something abeuld ba dena te bring
him te realise bis danger aad take the proper
atepa te prevent the result wbleh will sorely
ansae If he fall te take proper exerolee.
What I ahoeld recommend would be the
fixing up of a room In the White Heuse and

Many dealers fear te take bold of the '80
Havana aeed. They continue te aay tbat
It oentalna much white vein and dead leaf;
and besides these bad qualities it is liable te
ret An extenalve packer remarked within
a raw daya peat that he had bought some
Havana that ha thought very line ; when It
was delivered at the warehouse he examined
it carefully, and could aee nothing
wrong with It ; a week afterwards
it waa rotten. He aald ba believed
the; ret was caused by tba farmers
wetting their tobaeeo for tbe double purpose
of making It mere easy te hsndle and te In
crease Its weight. It appears that the Havana
seed will net bear wetting, and that neither
tbe farmer nor the packer bave aa yet learned
hew te handle It ; and thus the packers are
holding aloof from It There may be some
thing In the above etatement worth thinking
about, especially about wetting tbe lea'.
There is no doubt, aa the Intblliebncbr
aald last week, that there will be a demand
for Havana eeed tobacco, providing It cures
well. The market is bars or geed wrappers,
and tbe Sumatra Importatlena cannot furnish
a supply.

090 balsa were sold at 60a tetl.22. Tbe trade
is new divided among very many Arms, and
GOO bales between them deea net make tbe

the feeling among impertera Is quite geed,
and werelt net for tbee who, te meet tbelr

took the trouble herself t nurse ber child.
The superb cradle In which abe rocked him,
while singing lullabies te put him le Bleep, la
etlll exhibited at Berlin, aclrcumstanee whien
stamps aa malicious fiction tbeaseertlen of the
reckless French chronicler that be slept when
s baby en a cannon, tied te the breech tbereer.
Yet It is true tbst he "Joined tbe mili
tary" at a very early age. Paintings repre
sent blm amidst tbe family circle, at the age
of five, in the aet of drawing a sword, appar
ently for the purpose et disciplining bis plsy
mates even when be waa a big boy. He waa
trained up In a very orderly, strict manner,
te match with tbe court etiquette, and hla
atlff, precise deportment and behavior became
noted. His sffl icted mother wstcbed ever blm
and hla elder brother until abe left Berlin te
die broken-hearted In exile at Memel In 1810,
and, at her last moment, sent word te them
te punish tfae French or die in tbe attempt.
Her bitterness made a strong Impression en
the youthful William in particular, and ber
lessens were warmly cherished by blm. It
la net necessary, at tbla time, te go Inte tbe
details of his eventlul career. Sufflee It te
eay that, born In the midst of the great up
heaval which followed tbe French revolu
tion, he was destined from the cradle te
become a soldier. It waa en the 1st r.f Jan
uary, 1807, when, crushed at Jena, Prussia
baa almost ceased te exist a an Independent
nation, tbat the king, who with fait family
waa living In the poorly furnished, half
ruined cattle or Keeulgtburg, gave bla son,
Wllbelm, then hardly ten yeara or age, tbe
oemmUtlon of a aubaltern In the Royal
Grenadiers, with tbe remark : " I give you
this te day, In order tbat you may bave a
new eult et clothes te wear en your next
birthday." Three months later the
little prince was ae seriously III
tbst be was net expected te recover.
At Cnrlstmaa of 1807 be waa com
missioned aa second lieutenant, and at once
began te learn the rudimenta of hi military
duties under the instruction of Majer von
Plrch. In 1809 whsn the royal family re
turned te Berlin, the prlnee entered tbe city
at the head of hie company, snd from tbat
time he lived tbe eame life aa ether officers
of tbe regiment. He took part lu the cam
paigns of 1813-14 against France; be
came governor of tbe province of Pemerania
In 1840; served aa commander In chief
of tbe Prusaian force sent agalnat tbe
revolutionary army et Baden, in June,
1849; eerved thereafter as military governor
or tbe Rtne provinces until 1857 ; waa ap
pointed regent or Prussia nn October 9, 1858,
when hie brother, King Friedrich Wlihelm
IV, wss Incapacitated by mental infirmity ;
ascended the throne en bta brother's death,
en January 2, 1861; and waa proclaimed
