What though I hear upon iny window-pane
The dreary dashing of December rain,
Au d all beyond my little, bright domain
i, dark and sombre in the night's oull reign:
Vet here are friends whose counsel and whose
store,
A lavish wealth, is freely given to me;
Nor do they frown, although I ask for more.
Unsatisfied with prodigality.
Mv books are friends and servants always true.
Though cold the world, their kindly pages
glow
With generous thoughts, while Fanc3 - 's genial
crew
Leap IT*in the lines, dull cares to overthrow.
And if I love some favored one the best,
No pangs of jealousy disturb the rest.

At a meeting of the congregation of the
Central Presbyterin Church of Atlanta, on
Wednesday evening, Rev. Dr. Leftwich was
present, and in a few remarks tendered his
resignation. His action was induced by the
course of the Synod, in sustaining the ap
peal of Mr. Block, in the well known danc
ing case. He said : “A church once most
©compact and perfectly organized is now di
vided. Once he had hoped the breach
might be healed under his ministry, but he
had been disappointed, and despaired of
such a result. In the face of the earnest re
sistance of friends, he had determined to re
sign. By this action he believed the peace
and unity of the church would be best pro
moted. He had no petty ambition to grat
ify. The greatest favor the congregation
could extend to him would be to extend a
warm and cordial hand to all who had with
drawn from the communion of the church. 1 ’

We learn from the Washington Gazette
that a United States engineering corps was
at Petersburg, on the Savannah river, last
Friday, looking after the navigation of the
river. The chief of the corps says he will
recommend to Congress that the river be
made navigable as high as that point, and
that the cost will be $150,000. The Gazette
'ays: “Petersburg was once a good sized
town, but now there is not even the evi
dence of this fact left. It is thought that it
will be revived if Congress will make the
requisite appropriation for improving the
river.”

Our State exchanges seem to have a
mania for recording only one class of items
at a time. A short while ago it was forest
fires, then it was the great storm, then It
was politics, then it was burning gin houses,
now it is weddings. In fact, a perfect
matrimonial tidal wave seems to be sweep
ing over the State.
Mr. J. L. Ilollifield, who was arrested in
Columbus Tuesday night at the instance of

SAVANNAH, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1878.
ESTABLISHED 1850.
The Hawkinsville Gazette records the fol
lowing criminal conduct on the part of a
most unnatural mother. It says: “On
Tuesday morning last as a colored man was
coming into Hawkinsville on the Hayneville
road, he heard faint cries of a babe issuing
from a pile of brush and leaves in a little
field inside of the corporation. The man
got over the fence, removed the brush, and
discovered a young babe, apparently born
but a few hours, wrapped in some old rags.
The man took the babe and brought it to the
court house in Hawkinsville, when the Sher
iff. County Judge and Clerk were notified of
the occurrence. Steps were at once taken to
finu the motherof the infant. A young color
ed woman, Lettle Mayo, was suspected of be
ing the mother, and Mr. Thos. L. Car-
rutbers, County Court bailiff, was intrusted
with the duty of finding her and ascertain
ing the facts in the case. Mr. Carruthers
took the babe in his buggy and proceeded
to the plantation of Capt. R. \Y. Anderson,
where the woman was found at the house of
her mother. When the woman was shown
the babe she appeared pleased, took it to
her bosom and nursed it. She gave no rea
sons for her lack of motherly care for her
offspring.”
Says the Sandersville Herald: “Colonel
Henry Taylor killed two hogs last week
whose net weight was eight hundred and
forty-six pounds. One two years old on the
24th of April last weighed six hundred and
fourteen pounds net; the other eighteen
months old, weighed two hundred aud
thirty-two pounds. This will prove what
extra attention to a few hogs will pay.
Every family should have one or two hogs
to be raised from the slops and garbage of
the kitchen.”
Buena Vista Argus : : “We are informed
that Mr. Clay Bell shot with a rifle and killed
a negro at Bell’s Mill, Webster county, last
week. We were unable to learn any particu
lars more than a dispute arose between Mr.
Bell and the negro about a dog fight, which
resulted in Bell shooting the negro. Bell
has fled the country.”
Jonesboro News: “We observe that those
farmers who wear home-made jeans—who
make their owu axe-handles aud plow-
stocks—whose wives wear striped home
spun, are the ones who have corn and meat
enough for another year, who do not owe a
dollar, and who have their cotton crop laid
up for hard times, and their money out at
interest. Making everything at home may
not work well in theory, but it eertaiuly
end6 well in practice.”
Gainesville North Georgian: “ There is
considerable talk in Dahlonega of building
a railroad from that place either to Gaines
ville, Lula City or westward to connect with
the road from Marietta. Gainesville should
wake up to the importance of this project,
and not allow her material interests to suf
fer by losing this road. A narrow gauge
between the two places would cost but lit
tle, and would be a great advantage to jis.”
‘Reports reach us,” says the Albany
News, “of the death of Mr. Wm. Jaues, of
Calhoun county. Ilis body was found lying
near the root of a tree near Mrs. Ivey’s
bouse on Monday morning. It, is supposed
that he was thrown from his horse the Sat
urday previous. We learu no farther par
ticulars. Mr. Janes was a well known citi
zen of Calhoun, and leaves many friends to
mourn his death.”
Albany News: “In the Brunswick Council
the other day, action was taken concerning
the extending of the charter of the Bruns
wick and Albany Railroad, which expires by
limitation in February, 1879. It was stated
that an amendment to its charter was ne
cessary to its completion, and that ‘respon
sible parties have negotiated for its pur
chase, and will speedily couspleie the road
to Eufaula. But they will not do so with
out legislative enactment extending the
time within which to complete the same.’
In a short interview with one of our repre
sentatives, Hon. Jesse W. Walters, we glean
the information that the Legislature will
comply with the requests made in behalf of
the road. Now what?”
The Dublin Ibst tells the following story
of a negro babe having been burnt alive in
that town. It says: “On the evening of
the 20th inst., about sundown, the alarm of
fire was raised in the extreme south part of
town. The source of alarm was found to
be a negro cabin afire, on the place of Judge
Haynes. The wife of Joe Moore, who lived
in the house, had gone to the Judge’s, about
a quarter of a mile distant, to take borne
Ihe week’s washing of clothes, leaving her
three children (one an infant), in the house.
While their mother was gone the two older
children got to playing in the fire, which re
sulted in firing the building. When they
saw the house was on fire they had sense
enough to get out, but not sufficient to take
out the infant that was left lying in the
cradle to be roasted to death. No one
reached the scene of conflagration in time
to be of any service.”
Under the head of “Horse Swapping Ex
traordinary,” the Hartwell Sun says: “G.
and T. of this county one day last week
made a horse swap. G. became dissatisfied
and went back to T. for a rue, representing
that the horse he had got was not sound.
T. refused to rue, so G. got wrutby and
turned the horse loose, saying he wouldn’t
have bitn. T. sent the sick horse back to
G.: G. then sent him back to T. This
backing to and fro with the sick horse
was kept up two or three days, till
Saturday night. At dark the horse was
at T.’s. T.’s new horse took sick aud
died during the night. G. learned this and
concluded it would be better to have a sick
horse than a dead one, and struek out by
day Sunday morning to get the horse he
had tried so hard to return to T. T. had
come to the conclusion that be was willing
to rue and also started out early to capture
the live horse, thinking G. might take the
dead horse. But G. tailed him first-and
now has him in possession. Now, can any
body tell whose loss the dead horse should
be? Don’t all speak at once.”
Tiie Mystic Sounding Church
Bells.—Manitoba Lake, which lies
northwest of Fort Garry, and has given
jj titlejo the province formed out of the
Red River region, derives its name from
a small island, from which, in the still
ness ot night, issues a mysterious noise.
On no account will the Ojibways ap
proach or land on this island, supposing
it to be the home of the Manitoba, the
“Speaking God.” The cause of this cu
rious sound is the beating of the weaves
on the “shingle,” or large pebbles lining
the shores. Along the northern coast of
the island there is a long, low cliff of
fine grained, compact limestone, which,
under the stroke of the hammer, clinks
like steel. The waves beating on the
shore at the foot of the cliff cause the
fallen fragments to rub against each oth
er and to give out a sound resembling
distant church bejls. The phenomenon
occurs when the ga’es blow from the
north, and then, as the winds subside,
low, wailing sounds, like whispering
voices, are heard in the air. Travelers
assert that the effect is impressive, and
that they have been awakened at night
under the impression that they were lis
tening to church bells.—Helena (Mon
tana) Independent.
Washington Gazette: “A most laughable
affair occurred at the bank Tuesday night
about one o’clock. The young man who
rooms there (an affable young conductor)
was unwell, at d called Mr. Franklin up
stairs. This gentleman supposed from the
alarm given that a bank robbery was about
to be perpetrated, and summoned a posse
composed of Roberts and Jarikower. All
armed themselves to the teeth and took po
sitions in front, to the rear and at the side
of the bank. This was all done in a noise
less manner, and not a sound was made until
the pistols were drawn on—a sick man.”
Says the Atlanta Gmstitution of Wednes
day : “ Yesterday afternoon a gang of about
fifteen tramps entered the yard of a residence
on Collins street by way of the back gate,
and demanded of the cook something to
cat. The cook stated that she had nothing
to give them, and requested her unwelcome
visitors to leave. This they refused to do,
and the cook then attempted to tackle the
entire mob with the business end of a broom.
A fight ensued, in which several of the in
mates of the house took part. The police
were called in, and the entire party arrested
and carried to the station house, where cases
of disorderly conduct were made against
them. These tramps present rather a hard
looking appearance. In a short conversa
tion with one of them, our reporter learned
that those who are in limbo are only the
forerunners of a large number who are on
the road coming this way. During the next
few days something must be done to insure
Wfety.”

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF WAR.
Washington, November 29.—The War
Department report, jast issued, gives the
total strength of the enlisted men of the
army at 24,761 men. Referring to the em
ployment of troops as a posste comitatus, the
Secretary says that he is clearly of the
opinion that the President ' should
be left free to employ the national forces
in aid of process of the Federal courts
whenever he deems :it necessary ; but, if
such use is to be limited to cases where (as
declared by the act above quoted) it “is ex
pressly authorized by the Constitution or by
act of Congress,” then it is respectfully
submitted that Congress should give very
careful attention to the enumeration and
specification of cases in which such use of
troops is to be permitted.
The report mentions that it is to be hoped
that the attention of Congress will continue
to be given to the problem how best to im
prove the navigation of the Mississippi. The
importance of the subject can scarcely be
over estimated, and large speculations are
being made in the improvement of the
mouth of the river, which give it added
prominence.

Diphtheria is a disease which springs
from the growth of a real fungus on
some of the mucous surfaces of the sys
tem, more generally of the throat. It
may be spread by contact of the mucous
surfaces of a disease with those of a
healthy person, as in kissing, and is to a
limited degree epidemic. From the local
parts aff. cted it spreads to the whole
body, affecting the muscular and nervous
systems, vitiating the lymph and nutrient
fluids, and producing paralysis. As soon
as the bacterium or fungus appears in
white patches on the throat, it should no
more be neglected than a bleeding gash or
a broken arm, and there is almost as little
need of a fatal termination of one inci
dent as of the other.
It has been found by actual experi
ment, both in and out of the human sys
tem, that this bacterium is killed by
several drugs, the safest and most certain
of which is chlorine water, diluted with
the addition of from one to four times
the volume of water. This wash is
harmless, even when swallowed, and is
pretty certain to arrest the disease. The
great cyclopedia of Ziemessen on the
practice of medicine gives the highest
place to this method of treatment.
To keep the patient well housed and
warm, with additional flannel clothing
if necessary, and to keep the system well
nourished and the bowels open are mat
ters of nursing often neglected; but with
care iu these respects and early applica
tion of the remedies., above suggested,
there is no need of the disease proceed
ing to a fatal termination, or even to the
debilitating illness and painful cauteri
zations which go together in its later
stages. As to the origin of diphtheria,
the weight of testimony is that it be
longs to the class of filth diseases, but
further than that its source is not clear.
Families which would be scandalized
at the suggestion of untidiness, are
attacked, while others of filthy sur
roundings escape.
This simply shows that our sense of
cleanliness needs cultivation, so that we
may discriminate between what is offen
sive to the system and what is offensive
to our falsely educated tastes. The far
mer’s wife, to whom the closed and
carefully-dusted parlor or the preter-
naturally scrubbed lioor are the essentials

cre IN NEW CALEDONIA.
Terrible Brutalities—Mien, Women
and Children Slaughtered Without
Jlercy—Scenes of Horror.
The revolt of the natives of New Cale
donia, which was at first supposed to be
suppressed, was still in vigorous pro
gress at last accounts. A visitor to the
scene of one of the early massacres
writes as follows to an Australian paper:
The government road, made by convict
labor, took us only about six miles, and
then commenced a series of mountains
and gullies, stiff even to an Australian
stock rider. Some of the cultivated flats
in the valleys, with a little silver thread
of stream winding through them, looked
truly beautiful in the early morning. It
was hard to connect such extreme beauty
with scenes of awful barbarity. But
there is no mistaking the fact that we
were approaching the massacre ground.
The stench and the innumerable hawks
and ravens told us what to expect
shortly, and my companion's face
indicated a desire to come to close
quarters with the murderous ruffians.
What a sight! Unburied corpses of wo
men and children hacked in pieces, and
the birds, dogs, and even pigs, feasting
on the dreadful debris. There lay what
was left of the bodies of Madame Kandell
and her three little girls—Augustine,
seven years old; Louise, two jears old,
aud Tricotte, two months old, with their
little brother Vincent, five years old. A
few yards further on were the remains of
M. Mostini, with his five children—four
girls and their little brother Earnest. All
so young. There, tied up to a verandah
post, were the remains of what had once
been a young, handsome women and a
fond mother—now such a fearful thing
to view. Not far distant lay what were
supposed to be the remains of a gentle
man well known in Maryborough.
TIIE BOIZOT FAMILY.
The fate of the family was a very sad
one. The father had already succumbed
to the blows of the bludgeons and axes
carried by the assassins, w r hen M’me
Boizot, although mortally wounded, was
able to drag herself to the house of
neighbor. One of her children, a little
giri, had received a blow on the head
from an axe, and another on the arm,but
her wouuds were not desperate. The
other child, a boy, had not been touched.
A liberated convict employed in the
house, and who had escaped the vigi
lance of the Kanakas on their first ap
pearance, proposed to M'me Boizot that
she should allow him to take the two
children, one of whom, tne boy, was, as
has already been said, uninjured, and
the other, the girl, capable of being
cured of her wounds; but the poor moth
er strained the children to her breast
with the energy of despair and refused
to be separated from them. “We will
die together!” she cried. The man,
much against his will, was compelled to
depart alone.
A few moments later the assassins re
turned, and the poor little children were
killed in their mother’s arms. A hideous
scene of savagery must have followed,
as the bodies were discovered frightfully
mutilated, the limbs of one of the chil
dren having been actually torn apart. To
this episode attaches another of a less
horrible kind, but singular enough. A
New Hebridian employed in the house
lied on witnessing the massacre ot his
employers. He was followed by a dog.
At the end of the day the pair arrived at
Bourake, where a detachment of marine
infantry was posted. The man, ignorant
of French usages, not answering to the
seniinel’s challenge, “Qui vive,”
THE REPORT OF A RIFLE WAS HEARD.
and the faithful dog fell dead. Under
standing that the same fate awaited him
if he advanced further, the New He
bridian passed the night in the bush, and
at daylight he found refuge with the sol
diers. The details of the assassination
of M’me Langlois and her children are
harrowing in the extreme. They are
rendered more heartrending by the fact
that they were given by a child of the
elder victim, who succeeded in evading
the murderers. Concealed in a compara
tively thifck bush, she saw a Kanaka
kill, successively, her mother, her
brother and her two sisters. It was un
doubtedly in the camp of transportation
that the most stirring scene in this ter
rible drama was enacted, and Mons.
Leca, the chief of the camp, is its chief
hero. Mons. Leca, his wife and two
children had just sat down to breakfast,
Mr. Henderson, of Sydney, a settler at
Bouloupari, being their guest. During
the meal a Kanaka called Paita, who was
in the habit of coming to the house, pre
sented himself at the door of the eating
room, and, after depositing his arms on
the verandah, entered. Having greeted
the inmates, he received a fig of tobacco
from Mons. Leca, for which he expressed
his thanks, and at once left. Mons.

the man for the sake of his father, the

CHIEF OF A NEIGHBORING TRIBE,
accompanied him to the door. While
the two were in conversation Paita re
sumed his arms, and at the same moment
Monsieur Leca perceived on the platform
of the camp a considerable number of
Kanakas, armed with axes and native
weapons. He asked his visitor what the
men were doing there. Paita replied,
‘ They came with me. ” Monsieur Leca
was much struck by the attitude of the
Kanakas. They were silent and present
ed a sinister appearance. Without hesi
tation Monsieur Leca took immediate
measures to repulse an attack. This at
tack was imminent. There was a kiosh
at the end of the platform which served
as an eating room for the overseer of the
convicts in camp, and where they were
then taking their morning meal. M.
Leca went to these men ana gave them
orders to retire to the room in which
the arms were kept, and to pre
pare for any eventuality. lie recom
mended them not to pass through the
midst of the aborigines, but to reach the
room by going round the building. Hav
ing himself gone the way he had indi
cated, he arrived opposite the platform,
where he saw a horrible spectacle. The
two overseers, less cautious than their
chief, had not understood his fears. They
had passed through the midst of the
Kanakas, and now lay dead. Leca was
about to enter the armory when he saw,
standing immovable at the door, with
axe raised, a Kanaka, prepared to strike
him down. Him he killed with a shot
from his revolver, and entered the room.
A nailed up door separated him from
the sails a manger, in which were his
family aDd Henderson. The door he
forced. What a sight met
HIS HORRIFIED GAZE.
His wife and children, his guest Hender
son massacred, and the three wretches
who had done the deed completing their
business after their horrible and invaria
ble fashion. Armed with this Chassepot
rifle, he charged the wfeDffioa, and killed
tiiein bayonet. Far from allow
ing himself to uc ”_ rn5lir *ffed by, the hor
rible spectacle he had witnesseu, lIZ
ergy was aroused to the extreme. He,
on the instant, improvised a system of
defense, determined, as far as possible,
to avenge the death of his dear ones.
Through two openings, which he had
made in the doors, he fired first from one
side of the room then from the other,
and ere long the Kanakas, who numbered
one hundred and fifty, recoiled before
this man who appeared to multi
ply himself. The savages now
had recourse to fire, which was laid to
the two extremities of the building,
and Monsieur Leca soon saw that if
he would not be burned alive he must
at once make his escape. He opened one
of the doors, but it closed again quickly.
The Kanakas stood on each side of it,
axes in hand. Time pre sed, however,
the fire was making very rapidly, and
the refuge of the hero would soon be
nothing but a furnace. Through the
holes made in the door Monsieur Leca
passed his revolver, fired right and left,
left and right, and forced his enemit s to
retire once more. Then collecting a
good supply of cartridges, he locked up
the arms-chest, opened the door and ran
out. He beat a retreat backward, threat
ening with his Chassepot those of
THE SAVAGES WHO APPROACHED HIM.
But the assassins evinced no desire to
measure their strength with their adver
sary any longer, and soon ceased to mo
lest him. They possibly had another
reason for abandoning the contest. The
building was burning so fast that any
delay would deprive them of the power
of pillaging. 3Ionsieur Leca ran to the
convict camp. There he found twenty-
six bodips stretched out. “ Are you
all dead ?” he shouted, and to this
appeal one of the apparent corpses
raised himself a little. It was a con
vict who had been merely stunned
by the blows of the Kanakas. Mon
sieur Leca and the injured convict
turned their steps towards Tomo, where
they arrived some hours later without
having been molested on the way. As
soon as the assassins had completed their
work of pillage, they took themselves
off to the Hotel Mostini, where they oc
cupied themselves in pillaging and
making themselves drunk. Two came
upon the scene described at the convict
camp, and found a horrible state of
things. The overseers’ building w as in
ashes. At the entrance of the verandah
lay the half-charred bodies of the over
seers, Macquin and Gesland, who had
lost their lives through failing to follow
the advice of their chief. At the other
extremity lay the corpse of Henderson,
with outstretched arms and upturned
face. In the other cases the dead lay
face downward. Under the verandah,
too, were the half burned bodies of three
convicts, and in the dining room those,
half consumed by fire, of M’me Leca
and her children.
SOME OF THE CONVICTS
at the camp had on the approach of the
Kanakas concealed themselves as best
they could. Three of them thus suc
ceeded in escaping certain death. Two
of these were hidden in the bakery,
where they remained until the next day
buried under flour sacks. The adventure
of these tw r o men was singular enough.
They had hidden themselves close to each
other, but not at the same moment, con
sequently they were ignorant of each
other’s presence. Whatever fear he may
be suffering under, and however anxious
he may be to preserve his life, it is im
possible for a man to remain motionless
for twenty-four hours, especially when
his position is an unnatural one. The
two convicts were consequently obliged
to stir a little from time to time. At one
time a leg, at another an arm. When
ever one convict so stirred the other be
lieved that a Kanaka was at his elbow
seeking a fresh victim, and probably on
the scent of his place of concealment.
His neighbor was in like manner placed
in mortal fear w’henever his companion
in misery moved in his turn, and thus
were twenty-four hours passed in mutual
fear and trembling. The third convict,
of whom mention has been made, was in
irons in one of the buildings at the mo
ment of the attack. Seeing the fate
which awaited him should he show him
self, he hid himself under a heap of lime
after he had succeeded in disembarrass
ing himself of his irons. The Kanakas
came into the place where he w r as con
cealed, poked about amongst the lime,
but luckily missed the trembling con
vict. After the

Charge* Soon to be Brought Against
a Well Known Physician.
DEPARTURE OF THE ASSASSINS,
he joined some settlers, who were recon-
noitering, and was able finally to reach
Bourake. The death of Col. Galli-Passe-
bose seems to have created a great sensa
tion at Noumea when the news of it
reached the town. The following is an ac
count of the manner of his death: On
Thursday, July 3, at the moment when the
people on the quay were anxiously de
vouring the news brought by the trans
port La Yire, a report, as mournful as it
was unlooked-for, soon spread about the
town. According to this report, Col.
Galli-Passebose had been killed by the
revolted Kanakas. The first sentiment
w’as one of complete incredulity, but the
news was soon ascertained to be authen
tic. It was but too true that the military
commandant, Colonel Galli-Passebose,
had died at Oural on July 4, at 5 o'clock
in the morning, of wounds received the
evening before under the following cir
cumstances; It was known that a 5lons.
Bouton had succeeded in raising a small
body of mounted volunteers. Thinking
to meet this body on the road, the Colonel
left La Foa at 10 o’clock in the morning
and took the road to Bouloupari. At
about two j$jlometers from La Foa, and
on the old road from Ourail to Boulou
pari, there are some hills known as
THE RED MOUNTAINS.
The road which traversed these hills is
well suited to ambuscade. It is border
ed on each side by almost impenetrable
scrub. The telegraph line on this route,
which had been destroyed by the Kana
kas, had been repaired during the pre
vious evening. The Colonel found that
it had been destroyed again during the
night. A halt was made to effect fresh
repairs, and, as a matter of safety, the
Colonel sent on a liberated convict and
some Kanakas to reconnoitre. The party
had hardly left before they were back
again with the news that the revolted
savages were close at hand. The Colonel,
anxious to satisfy himself on the point,
was preparing to mount an adjacent hill,
when, at the first move of his horse, re
ports of firearms were heard right and
left of the road, and the Colonel’s thigh
and the lower part of his body were tra
versed from side to side by bullets. ‘‘Well
hit!” he cried, and these were the only
words he uttered before he fell from his
horse. After a vain search in the scrub
for the assassins, the party turned their
steps sadly back, carrying with them
their beloved chief, who, although con
scious, would, it was evident, soon suc
cumb to his wounds. At every few steps
the party were compelled to halt, so hor
ribly did the wounded man suffer. The
next morning, eleven hours after receiv
ing his wounds, the Colonel expired.
Xew York Tribune.
Another murder by criminal malprac
tice has been brought to light in this city,
and the manner of its discovery furnishes
a striking illustration of the way one
crime may be the means of revealing
others. Two boys who were playing in
some woods near Silver Lake, S* I.. on
September 15th, found the mutilated
body of a woman who had been the
victim of malpractice. The body had
been buried in a barrel, and was so much
decomposed that it could not be recog
nized. The crime remained a mystery,
but it brought to public notice the dis
appearance of a young woman of Sau-
gerties, N. Y., who was believed to hive
sought medical aid to conceal her
shame. Her name was Annie Hom-
meli. Her father visited Staten Island,
but he could not identify the body found
in the barrel as that of his daughter.
The girl was believed to be dead, how
ever, and much indignation was
pressed in Saugerties against a wealthy
merchant in whose family Annie had
lived as a servant. Some weeks ago
James M. Fuller, the superintendent of
the detective agency at No. 841 Broad
way, learned that a girl, whose descrip
tion resembled that of Annie Hommell
had died in childbirth at an uptown
lying-in establishment. He began an in
vestigation of the matter in the hope of
finding an explanation of Annie Horn
mell’s disappearance. He was disap
pointed, as the girl who had died was
evidently not the one for whom he
sought, but he made discoveries which
have resulted in placing in the hands of
the police authorities a complaint which
is expected to implicate a well known
physician in the crime of malpractice.
A lady, said to be in good society in
this city, well connected, and engaged
to be married, is the complainant and
the chief witness. Betrayed last spring,
she consulted an uptown physician of
social and professional standing, and at
his house she submitted to a criminal
operation last month. Afterwards she
was driven to a lying-in hospital con
ducted by a woman in league with the
physician. There she remained during
October. There, she states in her afh
davit, she learned to know one Miss
Bush, formerly a servant girl ii
family residing in Forty-eighth street,
between Eighth and Ninth avenues.
Upon her, too, an operation
had been performed, from the effects of
which she died on October 27th. Im
mediately after her death the matron of
the hospital brought two men to Miss
Bush’s room, which w’as directly op
posite that of the complainant. Through
the half-open door she saw one of them
lift one arm of the corpse while in his
right hand he held a bright steel instru
ment. She did not see more, the matron
at that moment returning and closing
the door, but when, with what she had
witnessed upon her mind, she asked
what had been done with the body of
Miss Bush, the matron answered that it
had been taken away the night before.
All this appears in her affidavit.
C. W. Fuller, manager of Fuller’s De
tective Agency, said last night that
would be highly improper at the present
stage of the case to give too many facts
to the public. He believed that when
the persons were arrested a most startling
discovery would be made of the criminal
malpractice which has existed in this
city. Investigation has revealed the fact
that the physician conducted two estab
lishments in conjunction with a woman
for nearly two years, but that he has re
cently abandoned them, knowing that he
was watched. The house in which the
physician lived was a private dwelling in
a fashionable part of the city, and there
was nothing on the exterior of the resi
dence to indicate the business. It is be
lieved that the bodies of the persons who
have died there must: have been cut up
so as to occupy very little space before
they were carried off and buried.

■S a
mansion of Rev. Dr. M. A. DevVolf
Howe, Episcopal Bishop of the Diocese
of Central Pennsylvania, in Reading,
was entered by thieves early Monday
morning and plundered. The Bishop
resides on Centre avenue, in the northern
section of the city, where the houses are
separated by wide lots. The thieves
gained an entrance by forcing their way
through the north bay window of the
parlor and then opened the back and
front doors. Nearly all parts of the
house were visited, and the thieves, :
ing a noise in one of the bed chambers,
lqcked the occupant in and turned the
key on the outside. The thieves then
proceeded to the closets and pantry and
had a feast. A demijohn of wine was
emptied during their feast in the parlor.
Several hundred dollars “worth of valu
ables, including silverware and clothing,
were carried off. The Bishop was not at
home and the robbery was not discovered
until this morning.
P AIN in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure ; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain
is felt under the shoulder blade, and
it frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The stom
ach is affected with loss of appetite
and sickness; the bowels in general
are costive, sometimes alternative with
lax; the head is troubled with pain,
accompanied with a dull, heavy sen
sation in the back part. There is gen
erally a considerable loss of memory,
accompanied with a painful sensation
of having left undone something which
ought to have been done. A slight,
dry cough is sometimes an attendant.
The patient complains of weariness
and debility ; he is easily startled, hi§
feet are cold or burning, and he com
plains of a prickly sensation of the
skin; his spirits are low; and although
he is satisfied that exercise would be
beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try it.
In fact, he distrusts every remedy.
Several of the above symptoms attend
the disease, but cases have occurred
where few of them existed, yet exam
ination of the body, after death, has
shown the liver to have been exten
sively deranged.
