STRANGE VISION
OF WASHINGTON
Tbe Language la Which tie Related II to
a Companion.
"WHII.K TUB STARS ItUMAIN AND
T1II3 lIHAVKXd SEND DOWN D1JW8
UrON Tlin EARTH SO LONCI SHALL
tiil: hrvubhc last," are the
WORDS THAT were spoken to
THE FATHER OK THIS COUNTRY.
TRIALS IT MUST ENDURE.
Dr. C. W. Roberts has in his pos
session nn ancient paper containing nn
alleged vlsfofi of George Washington
which Is especially interesting at this
time. Washington Is reputed to have
related the details of his vision to a
companion in the following language:
"I do not know whether It was ow
ing to the anxiety ot my mind, or what,
but this afternoon, as I was sitting at
this very table engaged In preparing a
dispatch, something in the npartment
seemed to disturb me. Looking up, I
behold, stardlng exactly opposite me,
a singular beautiful female. So aston
ished wns I for I had given strict or
ders not to be disturbed that It was
some moments before I found lnnguage
to inquire the cause ot her presence. A
second, third and even a fourth time
did I repeat the question, but received
no answer from my mysterious visitor
other than a slight raising of her eyes.
Uy this time T felt a strange sensa
tion spreading through me. I would
have risen, but the riveted gaze ot the
being before mo rendered volition im
possible. "I essayed once more to address her.
but my tongue was paralyzed. A new
influence, mysterious, potent. Irresisti
bly took possession of me. All I could
do was to gaze steadily, vacantly, at
my unknown visitant. Gradually tlia
surrounding atmosphce seemed filled
with Fensatlons, nnd grew luminous.
Everything about me appeared to rarl
fy, the mysterious visitor herself be
coming more airy, and yet oven more
distinct to my sight than before. I
now began to feel as one dying, or rath
er to experience the sensations which
I have sometimes Imagined accompany
dissolution. I did not think, I did not
reason, I did not move: all wove alike
impossible. I wns only conscious of
gazing, fixedly, vacantly nt n.y com
panion. A STRANGE SCENE.
"Presently I heard a voice saying:
'Son of the Republic, look and learn!'
while, at the same time, my visitor
extended her arm and fortllncer enst
warrtly. I now beheld a heavy white
vapor at some distance, rising fold
upon foldr This gradually disappeared
and I looked upon a strange scene.
Before me lay stretched out In one vnst
plain all th; countries of the world,
Europe, Asia, Africa and America. I
saw rolling and tossing betwscn Eu
rope nnd America the billows of the
Atlantic, and between Asia nnd Amer
ica lay the Paclllc. 'Son of the Repub
lic,' said the same mysterious vole as
before, 'look and learn!"
"At that moment I beheld a dark,
shadowy being like an angel, standing,
or rather Hunting in mld-alr between
Europe and America. Dipping water
out of the ocean In the hollow of each
hand, ho sprinkled some upon America
with his Hunt hand, while he cast
upon Europe some with his left. Im
mediately a dark cloud arose from each
of the countries, and joined in wld
oeean. For n while It remained station
ary, and then moved slowly westward,
until It enveloped America in ltrf murky
folds., Shnrn Hashes of lightning now
gleamed throughout nt Intervals, and I
heard the smothered groans and cries
of the American people.
' A second time the nnel dipped
from the ocean and sprinkled aa be
fore. The dark cloud was then drawn
back to the ocean, into whose heaving
waves it sunk from view. A third time
I heard the mysterious voice saying,
Son of the Republic, look and learn!'
"I cast my eyes upon America, nnd
beheld villages, towns and cities spring
ing up one after another, until th
whole land from the Atlantic to the
Pacific was dotted with them. Agnln,
I heard the mysterious voice sav, 'Son
of the Republic, the end of a century
cometh, look and learn.'
"At this the dark, shadowy angel
turned his faco southward, and from
Africa I saw an Ill-omened specter ap
proaching our '.and. It flitted slowly
and heavily over every vlllnge, town
and city, the Inhabitants of which
presently set themselves In battle ar
ray, one against the other. As 1 con
tinued looking, I saw a bright nngel
on whose brow rested n crown of light
on which vuh traced the word Union,
bearing the American Hag, which he
placed between the divided nation, and
said, 'Remember ye are brethren!'
"Instantly, the Inhabitants, casting
from them their weapons, became
friends once more, and united around
the myrterlous voice saying, 'Son of tiw
Republic, the second peril is passed
look and learn!"
"And I believe the villages, towns
and cities of America Increased in size
and numbers, till at last they covered
all the land from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, und their Inhabitants became
as countless as the stars !i Heaven,
or as the snnd on the seashore. Again
I heard the mysterious voice saying,
'Son of the Republic, the end of a
century cometh look and learn!'
SPECTER APPROACHED.
"At this, the dark, shadowy nngel
placed a trumpet to his mouth, and
blew thtee dlbtlnct blasts, nnd taking
water from the ocean sprinkled -it out
upon Europe, Asia and Africa.
"Then my eyts looked upon a fearful
scone. Fiom each of those countries
arose thick, blank cloud?, which soon
joined into one; and throughout the
mass gleaned a dark red light, by
which I saw hordes ot armed men, who,
mnvlng with the cloud, marched by
land and sailed by sea to America,
which country was soon enveloped In
the volume of the cloud. And I dimly
saw these vast armies devnstnto tho
whole country, und pillage and burn
the villages, cities and towns that T
had beheld springing up. As my ears
listened to tho thunder of cannon,
clashing of swords, and tho shouts and
cries ot tho millions in mortal com
bat, I again heard the mysterious
voice Miylug, 'Son of the Republic, look
and Irani! When the voice had ceas
ed, tho durk, shadowy nngel placed tho
trumpet onr.e more to his mouth and
blow a Jong, fearful blast.
AN INTENSE LIGHT.
"Instantly n light, us from a thous
and sunBj shone from above me, und
pierced nnd Uroke Into fragments tho
dark cloud which enveloped America.
At tho pamo time. T fixw the angel upon
whose forehead still shonn tho word
Union, and bore our national flag In one
hand nnd a sword In the other, de-
pccnded from heaven, attended by
legions of bright spirits. Those Imme
diately Joined the Inhabitants of Amer
ica, who I perceived were well nigh
overcome, bht who Immediately taking
courage, again closed up their broken
ranks nnd renowed the battle. Again,
amid the fcatful nolso of the conflict.
I heard the myrterlous voice saying,
Sen of tho Republic, look nnd learnt'
"As the voice ceased, tho Bhadowy
nngel, for the last time, dipped water
from the ocean and sprinkled It upon
America. Instantly tho dnrk cloud
rolled back, together with thi nrtlcles
It had brought, leaving the Inhabltnnto
of tho land victorious. Then once more
1 beheld tho villages, towns nnd cities
springing up when; they had been be
fore, while the bright nngel, planting
tho nzuro standard he had brought in
the midst of them, cried In a loud voice
to tho Inhabitants". 'While the Htnrs
remain and the heavens send down
dews upon the earth, so long shall thii
Republic last!' And taking from his
brow the crown, on which still blnzed
the word Union, ho placed It upon the
standatd, while all the people, kneeling
down, said 'Amen!'
"The seen j Instantly began to fade
nnd dissolve,, and I at last saw nothing
but. tho rising curling white vapor I had
first beheld. Thl also disappearing, I
found myself once more gazing upon
tho mysterious visitor, who, In that
same mysterious voice I had heard,
before, said. 'Son of the Republic,
what you have seen Is thus Interpreted;
Three perils will move upon tho repub
lic. The mest fearful one Is the sec
ond, passing which tho whole world
united shall never be able- to prevail
against her. Let every child of the
Republic learn to live for his God, his
Land, nnd his Union!'
"With thes-j words the figure vanish
ed. I Marted from my seat, and felt
that I had been shown the birth, lno-
grcss nnd destiny of the Republic of the
United States. In union she will have
her strength. In disunion her destruc
tion." HIS HEART AFFECTED
1'ntrick JlcHnle Died in Mt. IMonnnnt
Iluvino Enrly Sundnv Morning.
Ho Wns 115 Yonrs of Ago.
Lying as though in a deep sleep,
which was In reality the sleep of death,
Patrick McHale's body was found yes
terday morning about fi o'clock by
Samuel Stanford, of Fourteenth street,
In the little ravine formed by two sec
tions of the Mt. Pleasant culm dump.
The spot Is a rather secluded one, be
ing about six hundred feet In from
Love road, which passes down from
West Linden street to the river's edge.
Stanford notified the police nnd they
notified Coroner Longstreet. Owing to
the meagre directions left by Stanford
It was some time before the coroner,
accompanied by Undertaker Raub,
could locate tho remains, and It was
9 o'clock before they were rc-dlscov-ered.
The remains were in a position
such as would Indicate that death had
overtaken the man ns he was. sleeping.
He was fully dressed, having on a
negligee shirt, plain black clothes and
an ordinary pair of working shoes.
Detective Molr, who was present, ex
amined the remains nnd found a small
memoranda book and a piece of a
comb In a vest pocket. Tho book con
tained some newspaper clippings, pen
cil notes and a one dollar bill. Also
the address Patrick McHalc, 1S12
AVashburn street. Superintendent
Sprague and Foreman Revans. ot the
Mt. Pleasant mines. Identified the dead
man ns being Mr. Mellale.
The remains were removed to Under
taker Raub's establishment and a post
mortem was held by Coroner Long
street. The man died from fatty de
generation of the heart. He had prob
ably been dead about twenty hours or
since early Sunday morning. Decom
position had already set In, owing to
the Intense heat of yesterday. Tho
dead man's son. John McHalc, of C30
Rlakely street, Dunmore, was notified
and further identified tho remains. He
ordered them removed to his home,
from whence the funeral will bo held
this nfternoon at 2 o'clock. Interment
will bo made at the cathedral ceme
tery. As to how McHalc got In the ravine,
where ho died, is a mystery. He wns
In the habit of staying with either of
his sons, John or Henry, or with his
daughter, Mrs. Arthur Mullen, whoso
residence Is nt 1S12 Washburn street,
Just ns tho notion seized him. De
ceased was about 63 years old and
came to Scranton about forty-flv.e
years ago. His two sons and one
daughter above survive hlin.

KOR A 8UEPICIENT NUMDER OF
CARS AND OVER A THOUSAND
PERSONS WERE LEFT AT THE
STATION IN THIS- CITY-ASSISTANCE
OF MEMBERS CtTY TOLiqE
FORCE HAD TO HE ASKED.
There wns a scene of wild disorder
at tho Delaware and Hudson station
on Lackawanna avenue yesterday
morning because a thousand or more
persons who wanted to go to Ulngham
ton could not bo furnished with trans
portation. It wns probably due to the
efforts of station policeman Spellman
that no one was Injured.
Sometime ago the Knights of Py
thias of Jermyn and 'Carbondale ar
ranged to run nn excursion to Blng
hamton yesterday and fixed the fare
at $1. They had evidently no Idea of
what a populur excursion it would
prove to be for their contract with the
Delaware and Hudson company was for
only thirty cars about half uf. that
number to start from this city and
make stops at the various stations
along the valley. A large number of
tickets were sold In advance and yes
terday morning the members of the
Knights of Pythias committee who
were selling tickets nt the station did
a rushing business until all their tick
ets were gone.
Soon afterwards tho rushing business
was resumed but this time it was ot
a different nature. The committeemen
were doing their best to keep out of
the way of the irate ticket holders.
THE FIRST SECTION.
Tho first section of the excursion
train left this city at 7.30 a. in. and
consisted of 'twelve passenger coaches
and one combination car. Every car
was crowded, In fact so dense was
the throng that the conductor induced
a number to leave the cars and wnlt
for the next section. At 8 o'clock the
second section of live cars were loaded
with their human freight nnd again
the crowd wns so dense that the con
ductor had to get many of the pass
engers to vacate the cars before he
would allow the train to leave the sta
tion. Those who left did so under the be
lief that unother section would follow
Immediately. Their rage, and that of
tho other clamorous ticket holders,
when thev learned that another train
would not leave for Hinghamton until
2.20 p. m. knew no bounds and they
yelled and demanded in no uncertain
tones that their money be returned to
them.
The Delaware and Hudson officials
had received none of the money and
were of course powerless to give relief
in that direction. They had furnished
all the cars contracted for nnd a few
besides and were unable on such short
notice to furnish additional cars.
During this time the thousand and
more ticket holders were surging
through the station demanding trans
portation to Blngliamton or the re
turn of their money. Finally one of
the would-be excursionists espied
Stephen Summerhlll In the crowd. lie
was one of the men who sold the tick
ets and a rush was made for him.
STARTED FOR SUMMERHILL.
He started up the steps toward Agent
White's olllce, followed by a detach
ment of the crowd. Instantly he was
pinned In a corner and demands of
the return of money was made.
During all this time Olllcer Spellman
was doing his best to preserve order
and when he saw the rush fur Summer
hill he went to his rescue nnd got him
down to the main floor of the station
and while the attention of the crowd
wns distracted he told Summerhlll to
go.
The advice did not have to be repeat
ed. Summerhlll went.
While these exciting events were go
ing on a telephone message for offi
cers was sent to the central police sta
tion to which there was a prompt re
sponse by four officers. Uy tho time
they arrived, however., the excitement
had in a measure subsided and the
crowd was leaving the station.
About 100 of the ticket holders went
to Blngliamton on the afternoon train.
The first section of the excursion train
which left this city at 7.30 a. m. reach
ed Blngliamton at 12.30 p. m. and the
excursionists who left here at 8 a. m.
arrived In the Parlor City at 1.30 p. m.
At all' the stations along the valley
there was much disappointment be
cause all those who desired to go to
Hinghamton could not bo furnished
transportation. Altogether thirty-four
cars left Carbondale on the various
sections.
Nearly as many more cars would
have been required to accommodate
those who could not go. It was late
last night when the excursionists
returned to the city.

WAS A QUIET FOURTH
Ubiorvnnco W'nt Not ol tho Old Fash
ioned KluiW-Tlio Wonthor
LnrEdr Hosponslblo.
Altogether yesterday was one of tho
quietest Foutths of July tho city ha3
had for years. Tho weather was in
part responsible for this.
In the morning it was so Intolerably
warm that it was hard to Unci any
person who had ambition or energy
enough to celebrate In tho old-fashioned
style. At noon down came the rain
nnd hail and at 3 o'clock there was an
other shower. These had the effect of
cooling the atmosphere, hut also kept
hundreds from lcnvlng their homes.
The elements interfered nt a very In
opportune time nnd practically broke
tho back bone of the celebration.
At night the heavens were lit up In
all directions by rockets and the snap
ping end hissing of crackers was heard
on every hnnd. A good deal ot satis
faction was tal&n by tho persons who
conducted these private exhibitions for
were they not celebrating the glorious
victory at Munlla as well as the glori
ous Fourth.
Notwithstanding the weather the
various plcn'cs about tho city attracted
good sized crowds and us a rule were
quite successful.
All of the shops, mln"s and mills
were closed clown and only a few of
the merchants of the city were unpat
riotic enough to keep their places of
business open,
THOUSANDS ATTENDED IT.
Success of tho l'lcnlc of tho Church ot
tlin Holy Cross.
Laurel Hill park attracted tho largest
crowds yesterday, and Rev. W. P.
O'Donnell. pastor of Holy Cross church,
Bellevue, Is correspondingly huppy. The
picnic conducted there was for the
benefit of the church fund, and will re
alize close to 12,000 profit.
At 9 o'clock In the evening about one
hundred and ten tickets fewer than
6,000 had been sold, and pleasure-seekers
were still coming In. Of this num
ber 3,900 were ndult tickets for which
an admission fee of 23 cents each was
charged. The children had to pay 15
cents. The refreshment stands, merry-go-round,
dnnclng pavilion and games
were liberally patronized. The Law
rence orchestra furnished the music.
At C o'clock a chorus of 150 children's
voices under the direction of Prof.
Haydn Evans sang the "Star Spangled
Ranner," "Amerlcn," "O Erin, a Tear
nnd a Smile in Thine Eye" and "Bring
ing Liberty to Cuba." Eacli singer had
a small flag and waved it to the time
of the music. Their voices were we'l
trained and the singing was highly and
deservedly praised.
The rain put a damper on the games
that were scheduled. The base ball
game in tho forenoon between two local
clubs of Junior players from Bellevue
was the only event of an athletic na
ture. ,
