Mother and Son Relieved by Simple
ITIean*.
I write to state that last spring I gave
my back a severe wrench, which caused me
great pain, from which I could get no lelief
until I was induced to try Benson’s Capcine
Porous Plaster, which brought rest and
cured me. My little boj' bad a considerable
bronchial afft ction. I cut one of the Ben
son’s Plasters in two parts, and applied one
of them above his breast bone, the other
between his shoulder blades, and noticed on
the following dav his cough bad entirely
subsided. I have used the old style of Po
rous Piasters, and am convinced that Ben
son’s Capcine Porous Plaster is far superior.

DK&TH AKb WKSril I'tlOM,
The Corp*e* of Two Infant* Not In
terred tor Wan: of mean*.
Yesterday morning a report was circu
lated which occasioned quite a sensation,
that the remains of two children had been
found in a house in the southern part of the
city, having been there for several days,
and that the Coroner, Dr. B. F.
Sheftall, and the Health Officer, Dr.
J. T. MacFarland, had been notified.
Upon Inquiry it was ascertained that the re
port was well founded, and tbe following
facts were learned: Tbe bodies of the In
fants were found in the house occupied by
a colored woman named Mary Sloan,
corner of Hall and Jefferson streets. It ap
pears that the infants were bom dead on
Tuesday morning last and were properly
prepared for burial, but were allowed to re
main In the house until yesterday morning
because of inability to pay tor a coffin.
The parties whowere cognizant of the matter,
through ignorance, did not apply to the
city amhorilies for a pauper burial, which
could have been readily obtained. Yester
day, decomposition having set in, the pres
ence of the dead bodies in the house became
known In the neighborhood and created
quite an excitement. The Coroner proceeded
to the place upon notification, but on Inves
tigation discovered there were no reasona
ble grounds for suspicion of foul play, and
that under the circumstances there was no
necessity for an inquest.
We understand that the Health Officer
and Dr. Chisholm, city phjslcian,
also visited the place. Arrangements were
speedily made for the interment of the
bodies, and they were buried yesterday a;-
ternoon. Asa sanitary measure, it was or
dered that the house be thoroughly fumi
gated, which was done.
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.
A Debtor Captured in Transitu
and Settle* a Claim.
Some time last summer a Dr. J. C. Cloud,
of Jacksonville, Fla., had a small steamboat
overhauled by Mr. John W\ Tynan of this
city, and when the work was completed
paid part of the bill in cash and gave a draft
on a Philadelphia firm for the balance,
amounting to $200. The parties on whom
the draft was drawn were all right,but when
it was presented itw’as not paid; and we un
derstand was returned to Mr. Tynan pre
tested, with tbe intelligence that the drawee
had telegraphed them not to honor it. This
proceeding on the part of Dr. Cloud was
con.-ldered rather singular, and Immediate
efforts were made to collect from him the
amount, but without success, and the pros
pects of a settlement seemed rather unfavor
able. Yesterday, however, It was learned
that Dr. Cloud was in the city, en route to
Jacksonville, and measures were at once in
stituted to apprehend him and secure pay
ment of the money.
Constable Wetherhorn was provided with
a warrant and at ouce saiiied out in
search of him, and being successful
in his search, served the warrant, but
tue Doctor managed to reach the
Savannah, Florida and Western Railway
depot, and eluded observation for the time.
The officer was, however, determined not
to fail collecting the mouey If possible, and
kept a vigilant look out for bis mau. A
few minutes before the train left Dr. Cloud
was discovered in the sleeper, and very
gracefully settled up the claim, aud was
allowed to proceed on his journey.

Tbe Stereo-Panopticon Exhibition.
Owing to the many other attractions for
pleasure seekers, and to the bad 6tate of
tbe weather, the audience was not as large
as expected at the Btereo panopticon exhi
bitlon at the Masonic Temple Wednesday
night, brief notice of which was made yes
terday, but the entertainment was none the
less enjoyable to those in attendance. Thi
views displayed had evidently been selected
with taste, and represented those scenes
and places that were richest In historic
merit. Beginning with Glasgow, the specta
tors were carried in rapid and graceful suc
cession through the cities and towns
to the beautiful lakes of Scotland, Locbs
Lomond, Katrine, and Akray, to the Kas-
sccks, the famous “Silver S’rand,” and
their eyes were feasted with visions of that
noble scenery which,in song and in romanc**,
Scott’s writings have made immortal. Ooe
by one the views melted away, only to be
replaced by others more beautiful Edin
burgh, its castle and environs; the Holy-
rood Palace, with its quaint, castellated
double towers; Melrose Abbey, that dear
old ruin, which ministers to the pride of
the Scot, and furnishes a perennial charm
to the tourist: Abbotsford, the home of Sir
Walter Scott; Dryburgh Abbey,where his re
mains are interred,and other scenes familiar
to lovers of the great Scottish novelist.
Other views besides those historic were
given, some comical, adding zest to en
joyment by way of contrast, 6ome pathetic,
silencing the bum of comment and leading
to solemn thought. Especially beautiful
were those taken from Cole’s celebrated
paintings of “The Voyage of Life.” The
manager, Rev. R. M. Lockwood, added in
struction to entertainment by his interesting
comments upon each scene, drawn from a
mind richly stored with historic lore and
from personal reminiscences of his late tour
through Scotland this summer. We could
wish that tbe audience bad been larger, a6
well because the proceeds of the exhibition
go to the Wesley Monumental Church Sun
day School as for its intrinsic merits. All
seemed highly pleased, and especially one
lady, whom we overheard in passing out
say, “My two little girls spent the sea
son in Scotland awhile ago, and they love
its scenery 60 much that they made me
briDg them out to enjoy it over with them.”

A Kerosene Lamp Explodes in the
Hands ot an Intoxicated Woman,
Enveloping Her Person In Flames.
A terrible accident, which may be attend
ed with fatal reeults, occurred yesterday
morning shortly before 12 o’clock, on the
premises occupied by Johu Car-
cllf, on Whitaker street a few
doors south of York 6treet, which
created considerable excitement in the
neighborhood, and quite a crowd collected
in the vicinity. It appears that Carclif’a
wife, who bad been freely drinking, was
engaged In the yard at some work with a
kerosene lamp, which, It is stated, she had
lighted, and wa3 using near a furnace
where she was washtug or cooking.
About the time mentioned she seized the
lamp, and ligating her pipe from it, started
to cross the yard to enter Jhe shop, when
from some cause the lamp exploded and
the burning fluid was thrown upon her per
son. 8hs ran into the shop screaming,
where Carcllf was at the time. There were
a number of old umbrellas, rags and other
inflammable articles about tbe place, and
Carclif rushed to his wife, and seizing her
by the arm dragged her back to the yard,
where he endeavored to extinguish the flames
by rolling her on the ground. Before this
was done, however, the clothes were nearly
burned from her body, and her person, from
tbe waist down, was horribly blistered and
scorched. Carclif had closed the door of
his shop for the purpose of keeping out the
crowd, but the cries cf the suffering woman
caused seme to enter the place to render
assistance. Mrs. Carclif, who, it appears,
was frenzied with paiu, and was still under
tbe influence of liquor, charged her husband
with throwing kerosene oil on her and set
ting fire to her clothes.
A policeman had in the meantime arrived,
and Carclif was arrested and conveyed to
tbe barracks. Tbe neighbors gave every at
tention to tbe woman, and lotions and band
ages were obtained from Mr. Lewis Cass,
keeper of the City Dispensary, a physician
also being sent for. The condition of the
woman being found extremely serious, she
was carried to the Savaenah Hospital, where
she could receive better attention. Shortly
after reaching the hospital she recovered
somewhat from the effects of her
drinkine, and stated that she did not know
what she said when making the charge
against her husband, that “the old man
never did anything to her, and she was not
responsible for her raviDgs.”
An investigation showing that the acci
dent occurred as above related, the charges
against Carclif were withdrawn, and at
three o’clock in the afternoon he was re
leased from the barracks by Lieut. Howard,
then on duty.
Late last night Mrs. Carclifjwas doing as
well as could be expected, though tbe burns
are of a very serious character and the
chances of her recovery are unfavorable.
