HE DENIES THE AGOUSATION.
Langcrman “’as the Defendant In the Fa-
mous Barbara Aub Case, When the
\Voman Confesaed That She
Had Committed Perjury.
NEW YORK, July 16.—Walter L. S. Lan-
german, who achieved such unenviable
notoriety in the famous Barbara Aub case,
is accused of having robbed a woman.
The robbery, according to the police,
took place at ,Warwick hotel, Fortieth
street and Broadway.
Langerman, if the story of the police
and the woman who now makes the charge
against him is true, is just as “gay” as
ever.
The fact that he came within a hair-
hreadth of going to prison for ten years
for assaulting Barbara Aub has apparent-
ly been already forgotten by him, they say.
The story of the alleged robbery is told
by Mrs. S. Maria of 150 West Forty-sixth
street. The latter is a pretty brunette and
does not look to be more than 26 years old.
With a friend, also a woman, she visited
the Broadway Garden last night and there
met Langerman and a male companion.
She knew Langerman well and had In t
him several times recently. The 'four

made up a party, and after a time, when
affairs began to get dull, the quartet pro-
ceeded to the Warwick.
The register at the hotel ShOWS that they
engaged a room at 11 o’clock, and the two
men and two women remained in it for
nearly two hours.
Many bottles of wine Were ordered and
served in the room, and time after time
the quartet of voices raised in laughter
rolled out from the doorway.
The party was a merry one until nearly
1 o’clock, when the time came for it to
break up.
A few moments before Mrs. Merle had
her pocketbook in her lap. It contained
S50, and, according to her story, Langer-
man, whowas in a playful mood, took it
from her.
The Money Missing.
She thought nothing of the action until,
the pocketbook having been returned, she
opened it and found that all the money
had been extracted.
Then there was a scene.
Mrs. Merle became hysterical and at
once charged Langerman with having stol-
en the money.
The noise made by the altercation
brought up the clerk and the proprietor of
the Warwick. The latter directed the clerk
to go for apoliceman, and the others start-
ed for the room.
Langerman, whose remarkable coolness
and iron nerve during his trial for assault-
ing‘Barbara Aub amazed everybody, was

Pointing a finger at Mrs. Merle and
raising himself up to his full height of

“If you have me arrested, I will make a.
charge against you of trying to blackmail

Then, before the woman could recover
from’ her surprise, Langerman and his
friend coolly walked out of the place. N 0
one thought of holding him.
In the meantime there had been much
shifting of places around the wine tables,
and while the confusion was greatest Mrs.
Merle stooped down and picked up a $5
bill and a $2 bill from the floor.
Both bills were badly torn and looked
as if they had been dragged hurriedly from
a roll.
Then, as there was nothing else to do,
both women took a cab and drove down to
the'West Thirtieth Street station house,
where in excited tones they acquainted
Sergeant Time with the details of the al-
leged robbery. The latter at once detailed
Detective Conway on the case.
With the two women Conway drove to
the Broadway Garden and established the
fact of the quartet having been there. Then
he proceeded with them to the Warwick
and interviewed the proprietor and the
hotel clerk. Afterward he began a search
for Langerman, but failed to find him up
to a late hour this morning.
Net only did the detective intend follow-
ing up Langerman, but ers. Merle also
promised to go to the Jefferson Market
court and formally swear out a warrant
for Langerman’s arrest.
Langerman's Statement.
Langerman was seen at his office, 174
Nassau street, at noon today. He did not
want to discuss the matter. and at first
declared that there was no truth In the
story.
It was simply, be said, an attempt to
revive the old story about his troubles over
Barbara Aub. Then he added:
“It is true that I did g6 to the Warwick
hotel with that woman. ‘ I knew her well
a long time ago. There was a friend with
me when I met her and another w0man.
We finally went to the . Warwick hotel,
where something happened. _
“While there this woman claimed to
have lost something like $10 and accused
me of taking it.
“She had no reason to accuse me, as
there were three others in the room at the
time. The woman had been drinking, and
perhaps that might account for it. I sup-
pose she did go to the police station and
make charges, but there was no truth in
them.”
It will be remembered that Langerman
was convicted in tho Aub case, but that

CONDITION NOT DANGEROUS.
The Principal Thing to Be Feared Is a
Sudden Change—Physicians Kept at
His Bedside Constantly—His
Relatives Notified.
NEW YORK, July 16.—Mr. Cornelius
Vanderbilt, Sr., will recover from his par-
alytic attack, so H. Walter Webb an-
nounced today. Mr. Webb said that this
information came from Dr. McLane and
Dr. Deiafield, who had held a consultation
at the bedside of Mr. Vanderbilt, in which
Dr. Janeway and Dr. Draper had taken
part. The consensus of opinion was that
Mr. Vanderbilt was not seriously ill and
would recover, although they could not
tell how long a time he would be confined
to his bed. One of these physicians is con-
stantly in attendance at Mr. Vanderbilt’s
bedside.
When Dr. Delafieid left the patient's
residence today, he said: “I think Mr. Van-
derbilt will undoubtedly recover, but the
hot weather is very depressing. His strong
constitution, however, is much in his ta-
vor. H0 is doing well, and all we fear is
a sudden change for the worse. If this
does not occur, there will be no danger.”
Mr. Webb also said that half hourly
bulletins would be given out at the Grand
Central depot. Dr. Seward‘Webb arrived
from Vermont at an early hour this morn-
ing. Many persons called at Mr. Vander-
bilt’s house to inquire about his condition.
Mr. Vanderbilt passed a good night, and
his condition was improved. .
Every precaution was taken by the phy-
sicians, Drs. Draper, Janeway, Delafield
and McLane, that their patient’s rest
might not be disturbed, and, if possible,
to prevent his illness from taking . a sud-
den turn for the worse. Dr. McLane, the
family physician, remained in the house
all night.
Mr. Vanderbilt occupies the bedroom on
the second floor on the Fifty-seventh street
side of his residence. His son, Cornelius,
Jr., who has been ill with rheumatism, is
on the third floor in the front of the house.
To prevent the street noises from an-
noying Mr. Vanderbilt a permit was ob—
tained to cover the three streets on which
the house fronts with tanbark. Workmen
were busy all night spreading the tanbark
and by this morning had covered the three
streets a foot thick with it.
Mrs. Elliott F. Shepard, Mr. Vander-
bilt’s sister, William K. Vanderbilt and
George Vanderbilt remained at the house
all night. Chauncey M. Depew, who is in
Europe, Dr. Seward Webb and his wife,
now in Vermont, and the Duchess of
Marlborough were notified of Mr. Vander-
bilt’s illness.
Mr. Vanderbilt’s Career.
Cornelius Vanderbilt, the eldest son of
the late William H. Vanderbilt, was born
on Staten Island in 1843. His father was
a man of very moderate means, who had
been sent there by the commodore to look
after a farm. Cornelius received as good
an education as he could get at the local
schools until the age of 16 years, when his
father obtained for him a position in the
Shoe and Leather bank of this city. He
was a conscientious worker, and the pres-
ident of the bank said of him some years
later that so exact was he in his accounts
it_ caused him endless worry if he Were
even a cent out in his balance.
Subsequently the boy went to the bank—
ing house of Kissam Bros., and not long
afterward, when barely of age, he became
assistant treasurer of the Harlem railroad,
owned by his grandfather, and eventually
treasurer. Having held this position for
about a year, he was made vice president.
in which capacity he served till 1886, when
he became president. Since he became
vice president, which was on the death of
the commodore, he has always been at
great pains to improve and extend the
Vanderbilt railroad system. He is essen-
tially the working member of the family.
He does not look upon sports and social di-
versions as his chief objects in life, but has,
on the contrary. always applied himself
closely to business and taken a personal
interest in the management of the many
railroad enterprises of which he is the
head. Not that he has always confined
himself to his desk. He has found time
for many other matters outside his re ular
work. In religious matters especia ly he
has been deeply interested, and he has
likewise done a good deal in the cause of
education. Vanderbilt hall at Yale was
his gift, and he has always been interested
in- Columbia university.
Besides having been a liberal contribu-
tor to churches, he has given large sums
to St. Luke’s hospital, the Metropolitan
Museum of Art and many other institu-
tions of various kinds.
At the age of 23 years Mr. Vanderbilt
married Miss Alice Gwynne of Cincinnati.
It would be dificult to make an exact
estimate of his fortune.
His grandfather left him $5,000,000,
which be doubled in a short time and aft-
erward came in for $52,000, 000 odd from
his father. By investment he has probably
more than doubled his fortune.‘so that he
has undoubtedly over $100, 000, 000.
The Healer on a Bicycle.
GUTHRIE, O. '1‘., July 16. —A man
claiming to be Schlatter, the healer, from
Denver rode into town on a bicycle and is

trailing gown of black and wore a curling
beard and long, flowing hair. As soup as
his identity became known a great crowd
gathered about the man, and since then
hundreds of people have constantly dogged
his footsteps.

OSWEGO’S CELEBRATION.
Proceedings on the One Hundredth An-
nivers'ay of .British Evacuation.
OSWEGO, N. Y.,_ July 16.—0ne hundred
years ago today the last union jack flying
on American soil was lowered at Fort On-
tario, and that post, the last to be evacu-
ated by the British, was yielded to the .
Americans. The event was celebrated on
an elaborate scale, and many prominent
persons were hereto aid in making the
affair a success. Military circles were rep-
resented by Major General Nelson A.
Miles, Colonel Sumner, commander of the
Sixth cavalry; Lieutenant Colonel Thomas
Ward of General Rutger’s staff and Gen-
eral Porter. ‘There were fully 20,000 vis-
itors in the city, among them senators, as-
semblymen, mayors and persons in all
walks of life. Six excursion trains reached
here from Canadian points. ' »
The parade embraced the entire Ninth
Unitgd States infantry, Colonel Lyster
commanding; the Ninth Infantry band,
the Rochester naval reserves, and separate
companies from Troy, Elmira, Bingham-
ton, Mohawk, Utica, Auburn, Rochester
and OsWego. The Fifth battery of Syra-
cuse was in line with seven cannon, and
18 G. A. R. posts, 7 bands and many local
civic organizatins participated.
General Miles was the reviewing officer,
and General Porter delivered the oration
at Fort Ontario in the afternoon.
The historical address was delivered by
Attorney George T. Clark of this city.
He graphically described the scenes inci-
dent to the rise and frequent falls of Fort
Ontario from the period of 1774, when it
was first built by Colonel Mercer, to the
construction of the present fortification.
The important part it played in the French
and American revolutions and in later
wars and the accounts of engagements
between whites and . savages, in which
hundreds were cruelly slain, were described
in choice and eloquent language.
DEATH OF JOSE MAOEO.
Messages Received In Philadelphia Say
Be “’as Murdered.
PHILADELPHIA, July 16.—Cable mes—
sages received here from Cuba confirm the
truth of the story of the killing of General
Jose Macao, brother of General Antonio
Maceo, the Cuban insurgent leader.
From the cable messages received the
killing of Macao was nothing more or less
than cold blooded murder. It would fur-
ther appear that something like a race war
has broken out in the insurgent ranks be-
tween the whites and the blacks and that
the shooting of Macao is the first incident
of this unfortunate conflict. Since the ar-
rival in Cuba of General Calixto Garcia
it is said that that leader and Macao have
- not been friendly. Macao resented the su-
perior authority conferred upon Garcia by
the Cuban junta in New York, and Gar-
cia was determined to assert hislsuperior
rank. '
When the last cargo from the filibuster—
ing steamship Bermuda was landed, Jose
Macco seized all the arms and munitions.
Garcia protested against this confiscation.
When the last cargo from the steamship
Three Friends was landed on the coast
near Juragua, Maceo marched to the sea-
board with 150 men and took possession
of the arms and ammunition.
As he was returning from the coast he
was ambushed and shot to death by men
who, it was asserted, were from his own
army. The trouble between the blacks
and the whites has been further accentu-
ated by the recent shooting after a court
martial of Manuel Gonzales, provincial
treasurer, his secretary and several subor-
dinates for the alleged shortage of $15,000
or more in the cattle tax funds. Gonzales
and the other men, who were shot by order
of Gomez, were negroes.
The Moore Tin Box Found.
EASTON, Pa, July 16.——The tin box
which contained the money, jewelry and
valuable papers belonging to Oscar Moore,
which was stolen from him while he
was a patient in St. Joseph's hospital,
Philadelphia, was found in a toilet rOOm
in the Lehlgh Valley depot here today.
All of the contents except the unnegotia-
his papers were missing.

All diseases come from germs. The germs

itself into the diseased spot and strengthen
it, and give it power to throw off the gems

is the theory. The facts are these—tens of
thousands of people have used the “Dis-

standing that if it didn’t cure, it should be
returne , and the money refunded. No-
