TWO VERY OLD WOMEN. Ono of the Two Remaining Revolu tionary Pensioners. A dispatch from Canisteo, N. Y., to the New York World says: An interesting monument is Mrs. Phoebe Travis, of Travis creek, an aged lady who smiles cheerfully from tho shadow of her 104 years, and hopes to see. tho twentieth century come in. She is contemporaneous with the State of New York. She saw it in its infancy, when its cities were unbuilt, its farms and garden patches the'primeval forest, its railroads undreamed of, its highways few, its streams clear and abundant and leaping with trout. Her life has -been an eventful one, and she remembers it well. Mrs. Hester Ann Hayes, her daughter, can supply from per sonal observation tho missing links for the past 70 years. Mrs. Travis was born on Christmas day, 1783„in Dutchess (now Putnam) county, New York.. She was married to Ama'sa Travis Dec. 14, 1800. In the month of Slay, 1801, they movod to Bergen county, New Jersey, residing there about five years. In 1805 they moved to Sheshequin, Pa., and remained there about one year. From there they proceeded to Howard, Steuben county, N. Y. Her son Charles, now 81 years of age, was a babe as they came through ‘•Chimney Narrows,” near Corning, N. y. the river‘having overflowed its banks and covered Q>e road so the horses’ feet could not touch the bottom. For a few seconds they were in imminent peril; “but,” she says, “I held my babes, one in each arm - one a year and tho other three years old— and my husband reined the horses safe to Jund.” They proceeded through an almost unbroken wilderness until they arrived at Campbolltown, where a small clearing had been made. They reached Bath, which contained but very few houses, crossed the Conhocton river at Kanona, before there was any evidence of a village, and arrived at Mr. Vaughn’s, upon the farm now occu pied by Mr. Chamberlain, near Kanona, that being the last ••chopping” until they reached Howard. They occupied a place which had been in tho possessic nof a Mr. Hovey. He had chopped about three acres and had put up a log house, which had only one gable-end 1 warded up; a floor hail boon laid except around tho fireplace. There was neither ceiling nor doors. Mr. Travis had to return for another load of goods, so they put up a quilt for a door and rolled a barrel on the bottom of it to keep it secure. Here she remained alone with her babies until the return of her hus band, with no neighbors within milos of her. During tho night she had the cry of the panthers for a lullaby. The couple remained in this place about one year, and then removed to Howard Flats, where they lived from 1800 to 1818. Mrs. Travis was a woman of wonderful genius and physical energy, and literally provided for and sustained a large family by her own labor, while her husband was felling the forest trees and clearing a place for a home. She cut and made the coat worn by Seth Bice, tho first Supervisor of the town of Howard. Knowing her superior abilities as a spinner and weaver, Judge Hornell said to her that if she would weave a piece of cloth to compote for a premium at Bath and it took the premium, lie would make her a present. She made the cloth; it took tho premium at the fair, and the Judge gave her a two-year-old heifer. In 1818 she moved into Canisteo and re mained there nearly four years. They then went to Travis Creek, in" the southeastern part of Caniste, about ten miles from the village where Mrs. Travis still resides with her daughter. Mr. Travis died Sept. 16, 1858. She was tho mother of twelve chil dren. Two boys and seven girls grew up to manhood. She boasts of fortv-six grand children living and six dead, 115 great grandchildren living and eighteen dead, and twenty-five great-great-grandchildren liv ing and six dead—making a grand total of 210 descendants. Mrs. Travis remembers perfectly the death of Washington, but she was never his nurse or his retainer. She travels, like a sensible old lady, on her own reputation, and it is no figure of speech to say that she is the pride of this section of country. Another dispatch from Washington C. H., 0., says: There is nothing like n good, fat (tension to make an old widower attract ive to the female mind, and there are few things equal to a good, fat pension in mik ing the male mind active in recollecting ser vices that were nevir performed. When the. government made pensioners of all tho sur vivors of tho war of 1812, with their widows, there was a great lush of youthful women to the arms of aged survivors, and the govern ment is still paying the expenses for this hurst of marital generosity. Everybody remembers the ease of the fictitious English vessel which was supposed to have arrived off the Maine coast, and tho large number of pensioners who were quickly created bv the Governor’s call for troops, but this instance is not nearly so comically interest ing as that of the widows, who patriotically joined themselves to the aged when Undo is.un tied a pension to the aged’s coat-tails. A ease in point is Mrs. Mary Casey, a widow of the somewhat late John Casey, of the Revolutionary war. She is now old enough to be willing to have nothing said about her age, but she was only 16 when she took upon herself the n&hie of Casey and promised to love, honor, obey and spend the pension of the 78-year-old veteran of the Revolution. When the Revolutionary war broke out Mr. Casey was living among tho mountains of Virginia, and was among the first to rush lorth in defense of liberty and independence. After the war was concluded Casey set tled in Kanawha county, Va. Ho lived as a planter for many years, and became well known throughout the neighborhood. Mm. Casey, whose maiden name was Cox, says that her husband was about TH years of ago when be came on a trip to Jackson county, o.,and that upon this occasion they met for the lirst time, and wero shortly afterward married. After the old soldier’s death liis widow returned to Ohio, where it became necessary for her to toil for a living. One of her sons is in the regular army, and is said to be a handsome, well-built fellow. Mrs. Mary Casey, of Washington C. H.. and Mrs. Tilton, of New Hampshire, are said to tie the only Revolutionary war widows now living. Mr-s. Casey is remark ably healthy, and may live for many year.-, to come. Mrs. Abigail Tilton, the other and, it is believed, the only other Revolu tioimry war widow,'receives a pension from both the State and national governments, amounting in ail to about &JOO a year. A MISER STARVES HIMSELF. Fearful Sight in the Filthy Garret of an East Sldo House. From the New York World. Amid the most squalid and filthy sur foundings imaginable the police and health officers yesterday found a gaunt and hoary headed old miser, starving hiinselfjto death, in a garret at No. 123 Cannon street. The house, which is midway between Stanton and East Houston streets, is a two-story white frame structure, ownod by John Matthews, of No. 12ti Sheriff street, and is occupied, on the ground floor, by the Old No. -if Live Oak Association. The second floor is occupied by Mrs. MeArdle, formerly the wife of Francis Ciarke, the famous okl time President of the association. In the basement lives a Mrs. Grossman, who works out by tiio day. The most interesting, and at the same time most objectionable, tenant is the old miser, who has boon persistently starving himself for twelve weeks past, until now ho is nothing but a skeleton. liis name is Ju lius Weisbaden. Ho is about 75 years of are, tall ayd yellow-skinnod, with long and matted white hair, shaggy eyebrows and unkempt gray moustache and whisker*. He tins apparently not bad a bath in ninny moutiis. The old man lias been the sole oc cupant of the'garret for upward of two years, but it is only within the past three months that his strange und filthy habits have become noticeable. Only once in the Must three weeks bus ho boon visible to tho other occupants of the house, and that was one morning when ho crawled out to the hydrant, or sink, in the hall to get some water to drink. Many a time tho kind hearted women in (lie house essayed to fetch him something to t at, but on all occasions i he would keep the door locked and decline all nourishment. Naturally his mode of living resulted in sickening odors emanating from his rooms and pervading the whole house. Tho occu pants repeatedly made efforts to get into his room, but in vain, until at last they notified the police. Roundsman Flanagan visited the place Saturday, but was denied admission, and tho following day ho again went there, accompanied by several officers. They were about to force onen the door when the key turned, a couple of bolts were drawn back and the old miser stood before them, looking for all the world like an appa rition of Rip Van Winkle. When he beheld the officers in uniform he quaked from head to foot, whined like a child and staggered backward towards a big battered trunk. He fell upon his knees and hugjjed the trunk, exclaiming, in a feeble and guttoral voice: “What do you want here* You can’t come in here. This is mine, all mine!” Then he became more composed as lie no ticed the peaceful intentions of the officers and fell upon the floor. He soon recovered, however, and in answer to the officers’ questions said that he was not starving, and that he had all he wished and money too. To prove this last assertion he pulled from a corner of tho trunk a roll of bank notes and also several bank books, which he flourished in the officer's face, hut quickly hid them again. Seeing that the man was not in need of funds, the officers withdrew and told the residents that they could do nothing. Last evening .Airs. McArdle wont to police head quarters and reported the case to the health authorities, who will make an investigation to-day, and the old miser, who is almost a corpse, will be removed to tho hospital. The reporter last night visited the place. Strangely enough the door was open, hut the room was dark. A lamp was borrowed, and a strange sight greeted the eyes of the visitors. On an old chair near the door sat the man bolt upright and fast asleep. Ho wore only a filthy shirt and a pair of duck trousers. The long, gaunt and b!a< ’: fin gers of his hands were intertwine, i md restqd in his lap, and he looked as if -n death had already claimed him. Several louds calls and stamps upon the floor f ailed to awaken him, and he only opened his eyes widely on being rudely shaken by the shoulders. “What do you want? Robbers! Murder! Go out! Leave me alone! It’s all mine!” he exclaimed in rapid succession. But he could not move from Iris chair. Beside him was a board on a barrel serving as a table. On this were a glass half full of stale beer, a little old kerosene lamp without oil or chimney and a few dirty kitchen utensils. The floor was bare and dirty. The only other furniture in the room was an old lounge, an antiquated clock on the wall, and a huge trunk in which he is supposed to have his treasure. In a closet was a dirty mattress on the floor, with a box under it for a pillow, and this was the old man’s cot. In this closet was another large trunk that was locked, strapped and hound many times with a rope. When the visitors entered these rooms the old miser was almost beside himself, screech ing and gesticulating, and making signs for them to leave, which they were glad to do after a hasty glance. For a number of years before coming to his present hovel he lived at No. 128 Sheriff street with a family named Matthews, At that time he was employed as a salesman in the coffee and tea warehouse of B. Fischer & Cos., 183 to 187 Duane street, with whom he was for twenty two, years until recently. He made a great deal of money on commis sions and saved it all. He frequently spoke to them of his past, saying he came from AVie.sbaden, Germany, many years ago, leaving his wife and two daughters behind. They were all wealthy, as were also his own family, but he had to leave the country, why, he would not tell. During the civil war he ifitimatod that he was a regular “bounty jumper,” from which souroe he amassed about $20,000. All this he saved, and most of it is invested in bonds. Somo five or six years ago he boasted that he had enough for life; but of late, becoming old and not so successful as formerly, he imagined he was going to become poor, and began de priving himself of all nourishmtnt. Three times a week he would call up some chil dren and give them 10c. with which to get u quart of lager beer. This lie kept in a stone pitcher and set it in a bucket of water to keep cool, and would drink a mouthful or two occasionally. This was all the nour ishment that passed his mouth for many weeks. He always paid his rent, however, which was $6 a month,'but grudgingly, say ing ho would move to cheaper quarters, but was afraid he might lose some of his things. On several occasions Mrs. McArdle, and others who chanced to peep into the room, saw the old miser counting over bonds and money. They saw him groping around corners of the room, and under the trunks and mattress and feeling with a broomstick under the floor, which had holes, while he patted tho sides of tho room with his hands. It is supposed that ho has money hidden in many little out of the way places, and those who know him best esti mate that ho ho has all tho way from $40,000 to $60,000. VILAS IN DISGUISE. Crude Method of Avoiding Recognition —Concealed With Iron Spectacles. The Milwaukee Sentinel tells the follow ing story: R. N. Austin, tho well-known attorney, and his wife returned yesterday from a lour weeks visit to Nantucket, where they had !een taking it vacation. On tiie same train through from the East was Postmaster General Vilas, who nrriveil at his home yesterday afternoon, joining liis family, who are spending the summer there. Mr. Austin is an old acquaintance of Col. Vilas, having several times appeared with him in the Supreme Court at Madison. Rut aboard the train tho Postmaster Gen eral was traveling in disguise—perhaps to avoid newspaper correspondents and public attention. So complete was his disguise i hat Mr. Austin h> sitated nearly twenty four hours lief ore speaking to his old acquaintance, loss he should find he was mistaken, and perhaps be bande I over to an officer at a way station asaconfld ‘ace man. S|ieaking about liis trip and the Vilas inci dent to a party of .friends, yesterday, Mr. Austin said: “We loft New York nboard a vestibule train on the Pennsylvania road at 9 o’clock Wednesday morning. At suppsr time I no ticed a man coming through our couch go ing to the dining car. whose general appear ance was familiar. He attracted no atten tion, however, except from myself. I eyed him and he eyed me. thought to myself, is that not Col. Vilas? Rut no, there was something about him that was foreign to the Colonel. Tiien 1 remembered. It was the absence of go!d-riramed spectacles. I had never soon Col. Vilas wear anything else. This man wore file ordinury specs, such as I am accustomed to wear,” and Mr. Austin put on a pair of ordinary glasses. “I inquired of the sleeping car conductor if tho Postmaster General was nboard tho train. He said no. Then I said, if lain not much mistaken, Col. Vilas is aboard tho train. ‘But I have been through the train and taken tho numesof everyonedorberths, and Col. Vilas’ name is not on the list,’ said the conductor. Then I became convinced that I must be mistaken. “At breakfast time this morning the man with the specs passed through our coach. He eyed me again'and I eyed him, until at last I determined to satisfy myself. I fol lowed him out into the vestibule and said, ‘ls this not Col. Vilas? If not,’ I said, ‘then you are his double.’ He admitted his identity and recognized me. We had a long chat together. I told him now’l had piuuy positively satisrted myself us to his Identity until the conductor threw me off the track. Ho intimated that he w s traveling ‘incog,’ but I did notask why. 1 ivas satisfied that it was to escape hews- ! |ia|ier correspondents, or for some equally , good reason. Ho said he was tired out. and i was gums hum i to take a four weeks rest." I THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, AUGUST 20, ISSt. MIEEINKItY. AK W lilllil JNEBY AT KROUSKOFF'S Mammoth Millinery House. We arc now offering immense lines of New Straw Hats, Ribbons, Feathers, etc., which are now being shipped daily by our New York buyer, and our Mr. Krouskoft’ who is now North to assist in the selection of the Choicest Novelties in the Millinery Line. It is astonishing but a fact, that we sell line Millinery cheaper than any retail store in New York. How can we do it? Cannot tell. This is our secret and our suc cess. Perhaps on account of large clearing out purchases or perhaps from direct shipments from London or Paris—but no matter so long as the ladies have all the advantages in stock and prices. We are now ready for business, and our previous large stock will be increased, and we are now offering full lines of fine Milans in White and Colors, for Ladies, Misses and Children in an endless variety of shapes RIBBONS, RIBBONS, new novelties added and our regu lar full line entirely filled out.
