July 16, ISSt. | Daytona Journal: There has been until Ilatelv living in this town probably the oldest locomotive engineer in the United States— John l. Ecktnan. He commenced work as an apprentice on the Philadelphia. Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad Oct. i. 1*37. On Sept. 11, Dto, he took charge of his first engine on the -ame road. In all be had charge of 110 locomotives on seventeen different railroad lines in the Middle and Southern At lantic States. He was born in Phila delphia, July 20, 1821. One of the most remarkable features of his many years experience in rnnning locomo tives is that he never bad a bone broken or a joint dislocated, and never ran off the track I l,u ‘ three tirne=—the flr-t at Twenty-four I Mile Turnout, on_ the Petersburg and Roan ! "ke i:ai.'roa<n l't.',; the second near Atlanta, i June ri. lsjj. when he was dugout from under | his locomotive with shovels, braised considcr • -V but not seriously, and the last time near olimey, Oct. 4.185 H. In addition to locomo tives he has run saw mill engines and steam lioats, for which he at the present time holds a chief engineer’s license. FACTS ABOUT SUICIDES. ' XVnine* Afraid of Pistols, Used to Dls uppoiutments, and Not Anxious to Shuffle Off. ‘•The proportion of female to male sui cides Is about one to six,” said Coroner Merkle to a New ork Mail and Express reporter. “W onion are free from business cares and do not drift into intoxicating habits. They also take disappointments in love more philosophically than men. They regard a disappointment as a natural se quence; in fact, are disappointed if they are not so disappointed. A great many men do not expect it, and not being pre pared, are so upset that they generally resort to extreme dissipation or suicide. The greatest majority of women select poison as the easiest method of crossing the Styx. They are naturally afraid of a pistol, and would naturally scream and run il they saw one while seeking a destructive method. Next to poison they select hanging, and they almost invari ably make a bungling job of that, just as they do in attempting to cut their throats. \ cry often they jump from a window, and invariably scream; no doubt they shut their eyes when they take the fatal leap. The proportion of married suicides is scarcely large enough to admit the argu guinent that marital unhappiness was the main cause. On the other hand, it is ar gued that family ties tend to check suici dal intent, or rather execution. Being of a more refined nature than man, and less inclined to the tragic or heroic, woman naturally selects the easiest and less bar baric methods of death. Shooting or cut ting disfigures the hotly, and a woman wants to be beautiful even in death; and, besides, when she takes poison she has au opportunity to say a last word which she may have forgotten. It is argued by some that woman, being less courageous than man, selects the easier means of poison; but it is a question whether suicide is not more a matter of cowardice than of brave ry. Many hold that it requires no heroism to commit suicide, and no doubt the great majority ol self-killings are done in mo rn nts of intense frenzy and without de liberation. “The absence of deliberation accounts for so many failures, which are 30 or 40 per cent., and this is the strangest part of it. While attempts to commit other crimes may be resisted or disturbed the would-be suicide is rarely disturbed. The suicide almost invariably seeks retire ment, where he is free from prevention; yet he often fails. Of course, this is owing to natural nervousness, want of method and fright. It seems a paradox, but they are frightened at their own desperation". The extreme poor class furnish the largest percentage of suicides, owing probably to the trials and disappointments of their checkered lives. The middle class furnish the remainder; excepting tu a few In stances, and very few, there are no sui cides among people of wealth. Not hav ing to combat with the world, pride or position and a greedy desire to revel in t >e luxuries that wealth can purchase even for the miserable, is no doubt the cause of the scarcity of suicides among the wealthy class.” STOPPING A CATTLE STAMPEDE. Tli© Shrewd Trick of a Cowboy. “One of the smartest things I ever saw in my travels,” said a passenger from the West to a newspaper reporter, “was a cowboy stopping a cattle stampede. A herd or about six or eight hundred had got frightened at something, and broke away pell-mell with their tails in the air and the bulls at tbe bead of the proces sion. But Mr. cowboy didn’t get excited at all when he saw the herd was going for a straight bluff, where they would cer tainly tumble down into the canyon and be killed. You know that when a herd like that gets going, they can’t stop, no matter whether they rush to death or not. Those in tbe rear crowd those ahead, and away they go. I wouldn’t have given $1 a head for the herd; but the cowboy spurred up his mustang, made a little de tour, came right in front of the herd, cut across their path at a risht angle, and them galloped leisurely on to the edge of that bluff; halted, and looked arouud at that wild mass of beef coming toward hint. He was cool as a cucumber, though I expected to see him killed, and I was so excited l could not speak. Well, when tbe leader had got within a quarter of a mile of him, 1 saw them trv to slack up, though they could not do it very quick. But the whole herd seemed to w ant to stop, and when the cows and steers in the rear got about where the cowboy had cut across their path I was surprised to see them stop and commence to nibble at the grass. Then the whole herd stopped, wheeled, straggled back, and went to fighting for a chance to eat where the rear guard was. You see, that cowboy had o|>ened a big bag of salt he hall brought out from the ranch to give the cattle, galloped across tbe herd’s course, and emptied the bag. Every critter snif fed that line of salt, and, of course, that broke up the stampede. But l tell you it was a queer sight to see that man out there on the ledge of that bluff quietly rolling a cigarette, when it seemed as though he'd been lying under two hun dred tons of beef in about a minute and a half.” ONE BAPTISM ENOUGH. A Curious Question Which Excites Chester Methodists. Chester Methodists are somewhat exer cised, says the Philadelphia Record , over anew phase of the question of baptism as presented ny a somewhat singular local church trouble. Several members of Trinity M. E. Cbureh, of which Rev. Thomas E. Kelley is pastor, became converts to the plan of baptism by immersion, after the Baptist fashion, atid proposed to satisfy their con victions by a rebaptism. The pastor of Trinity Church had given his permission, and Rev. M. McClelland, pastor of a Bap tist church, had tendered the use of the pool in his church for the ceremony. All arrangements had been made, and in an ticipation of the event a large crowd of curious people had gathered about the Baptist church building, at Second and Penn streets. It was therefore a general disappointment when it was announced that the baptism had beeu postponed on account of the serious opposition of two of the high officials of Trinity church, who declared that if the attempt were persisted in by the consent of the Method ist pastor, the church members would be turned out and the preacher presented for trial for consenting to an unlawful act. The Methodist discipline recognizes and permits baptism either by immersion, sprinkling or injuring, and it was under this provision that the pastor and the members who desired rebaptism were aet iug. 1 appears, however, that there is a subsequent provision in the discipline, as follows: “The rebaptism of persons known to have been previously baptized is incon sistent with the nature and design of bap tism as SPt forth in the New Testament.” Tbe question at issue is whether this is an absolute prohibition. The members who desired to be baptized by immersion now threaten to join tbe Baptist Church. The affair has createdAnnsiderable feel ing in Chester MethodiWcircles. The other day a woman fell into that pel lucid stream, the Irwell, near Manchester, she was rescued alive, but subsequently died. An inquest revealed the interesting fact that the cause of her death was not drowning, as had naturally been supposed, but poisoning by swallowing the waters of the river. This is a pleasant idea. There are two ways to become rich now-A days, and these ways are directly opposite: One is to be honest and industrious, and the other dishonest and lazy. The combinations cannot be churned, - POP-GiLVS IN POLITICS THE COUNTRY ENJOYING THE lulu befohe the storm. A Few Congressional Conventions the Only Skirmishes of Yesterdav —Flori- da's Republicans Hopelessly Split— The Tags at the Purses of the Clerks In the Government Departments Be ginning to Tell. Washington, July 25.—Mahone is straining every nerve to prevent the ex tra session of the Virginia Legislature, which a constitutional majority of its members has asked the Governor to call for the purpose of passing a constitutional redistricting bill for the fall election, llis emissaries have labored in vain with sev eral of the men who signed the request for an extra session, seeking to induce them to withetraw their names. Failing in this attempt, Virginia Democrats now say, that they fear that Mahone will influence Gov. Cameron to postpone issu ing the call for the Atra session ot the Legislature until so late in the fall that no change in the Congressional dis tricting can be made before the election, and so the Headjusters will make their point. On the other hand, the Readjust ers say that Gov. Cameron will issue the call tor an extra session of the Legisla ture within a few weeks. W. E. Bims still considers himself a bigger man than old Mahone and refuses to be reconciled. Chairman Barbour now says that there can be no doubt that Cleveland will carry ' irginia by tin old-fashioned Democratic majority. EXTRACTING THE SOAP. Government Clerks Already Contribu ting to the Republican Corruption Fund. NN a.shington, July 23.—The reasoning which concludes that a government clerk will be helped rather than hurt by with holding contributions from the Republi can campaign fund, does not seem en entirely satisfactory to the average gov ernment clerk. Although father Clapp’s squeezing committee has not established Us headquarters yet, contributions, more or less voluntary, are beginning to flow in. this revives the drooping spirits ot the squeezing committee. One of its members said to-day that the committee expected to receive SOO,OOO lront the clerks this year. This is less by *40,000 or foO.OOO than the estimated receipts lrom the Jay Hubbell assessment of 1880. This member of the committee vol untarily contributed the information that the scrub women and laborers, in fact all employes receiving less than SI,OOO a year salary, would not be expected to contri bute this year. Of course they could if they would, but it would not he exacted of them. Florida Republicans Split. Jacksonville, Flw, July 23.—As an ticipated the Republican party of Florida was swallowed last night bv the Indepen dent snake. Pope and Greeley were in dorsed by the negro element. The con vention was very disorderly and in con stant uproar. Dennis, of Alachua, kicked strongly against the fusion. Much dis gust is expressed among leading white Republicans, many swearing that they will never support the ticket. Cheney refused to serve as Chairman of the ex ecutive Committee. Bisbee has lost ground by favoring the coalition. The Democrats are well pleased with the action taken at Tallahassee. Some lead ing Republicans predict the disintegra tion of the party in Florida on State Is sues. Claims of the Prohibitionist*. Pittsburg, July 25.—Gov. St. John has accepted ttie Prohibition nomination for the Presidency. After the adjournment ol the convention last night the California delegation, on behalf of Dr. McDonald, gave a banquet to the delegates. The leaders of the convention, in an interview to-day, claim that they will poll 1,000, 00 A'otes, and probably carry Kansas tad Maryland, and so throw "the election of President into Congress. West Virginia’s Democracy. Wheeling, tV. Ya., July 25.—The Democratic State Convention yesterday nominated E. Wilson for Governor, Pat rick M. Duffy for Auditor, and Alfred Coldwell for Attorney General. The reso lutions indorse Cleveland and Hendricks and the national platform. 308 Ballots for Congressman. Sedalia, Mo., July 25. — The Democratic Convention of the Sixth District last night nominated John L. Heard for Con gress on the three hundred and ninety eighth ballot. An Ex-Speaker Put Up, Chattanooga, July 25.—The Demo crats to-day nominated lor Congress on the thirty-fourth ballot John R. Neal, ex- Speaker of the State Senate. A Kentucky Congressman. Louisville, July 25.—J. E. Halsoll was nominated tor Congress by the Dem ocrats of the Third District yesterday. An Honor for Greely. Washington, July 25.—The Army and Navy Register to-morrow will say: “That some high honor should be awarded to Lieut. Greely for his able services in the Arctic regions, and his wonderful per sonal pluck in managing to survive until relief reached him, seems to be univer sally expected. The idea we have heard most favorably commented on is that he should be given the rank of Colonel in the Signal corps of the army. The creation of anew office for him would not be too great an honor in view of his distinguished services, and as the present official organization of the corps is plainly fragmentary and incom plete, next winter would be a good time to pertect it and to give Lieut. Greely the highest rank in the corps, next to that of the chief officer. The Labor Statistics Commissionership. Washington, July 23.—The President to-day definitely determined not to ap point Mr. Jarrett to be Commissioner of Labor Statistics. The man who is to have the place is said to have been determined upon, although his name is not to be an nounced for the present. A private tele gram sent from this city to-night stated that William Holbrook, "of Illinois, was the man selected. The acting Secretary of the Interior said to-night tiiat he was not aware that Mr. Holbrook had been selected for the place. If Mr. Holbrook is not the man, it is thought to be either Fehrenbateh, of Cincinnati, Humphrey, of Pittsburg, or Powderly, of Scranton. Randall and the Ordnance. Washington. July 23. —Representative Randall has calle.-; his special Committee on Ordnance to meet in this city on Wed nesday next. Tht> members of the com mittee are Messrs. Crisp, of Georgia, Burns, of Missouri, Reed, of Maine, Hiscock, of New York, and Phelps, of New Jersey. Mr. Randall shows a dispo sition to make himself thoroughly familiar with this subject. A room has "been pro vided for the committee at the War De partment, and all possible assistance will be rendered to the committee by the Sec retary and Gen. Beuet. The Alabama Claim*. Washington, July 25.— The Ceurt of Commissioners of Alabama claims to-day transmitted to the Secretary of State"for his certification a list of awards numbering 606 cases decided in favor ol claimants, and 266 cases in which judg ments have been rendered for the United States. The aggregate of awards to claimants is $2,719,193. The judgments were promptly certified by Secretary Fre linghuyse . to the Treasury Department, where the awards will now be paid. The Naval Hospital*. Washington, July 25.— Surgeon Gen eral Gunnell, of the United States Navy, has not decioed to make a tour of inspec tion along the Atlautic coast. Indeed it is probable, in view of the limited appro priation, that the regular annual Inspec tion of the naval hospitals will not be made by the Surgeon. General this year. Lynching Probable. Albany, Ga., July 25.—Aaron Coach man, a negro, who attempted rape upon Mrs. Wilson near Blakely on Saturday, was caught eight miles from Gordon, Ala., and lodged in Blakely jail last night. The other searching parties have been sent lor, and he will probably be lynched upon their return. Two Swung at New Orleans. New Orleans, July 25. —Victor Elay, for wife murder, and Kendrick Holland, colored, for killing his mistress, were hanged here to-day. A Foul-Mouthed Woman Is even worse than a foul-mouthed man. No one need be foul-mouthed if they will use Sozodont and rub it in well. Don’t spare the brush and spoil the mouth, as some parents do with their children when they withhold the rod. SAVANNAH, SATURDAY, JULY 26, 1884. ATLANTA’S LAST FOOT RACE. Rome Charge* a Put-Cp Job and With draws from the Contest. Atlanta, July 25.—The much talked of twelve hours go-as-you-please foot race, open to the State, occurred here to-day at the Walking Rink. The entrance from Rome, consisting of Aycock, Piper,Ebling, White, Whitmore and Birmingham, refused to start, giving as the reason for their refusal that among Atlanta’s entries was a man by the name of Orr, who they complained was a professional, and whose real name was Cox. The complaint was heard by the judges, who decided that Orr, or Cox, could not be barred. The Rome men then donned their citizen clothes and left the track. The following walkers then faced the score ready to receive the word go: Sheridan, Miee, Prater, Seel, Orr, Mur phy, Fain and Wilson, of Atlanta, and rord, Harris, Haskins, Jacobus and Farmer, of Maeon. The start was made at a good pace, which was kept up all day, and was in many re spects an interesting contest, as all the men put their legs to their best speed. At 8 o’clock the only men remain ing on the track treading the sawdust with determination were Sheridan, Pra ter, Orr, Seel, Ford, Harris, Haskins and Farmer. Nine o’clock found Seel out of the race lor good, and when the contest ended at 10 o’clock the score read as fol lows : „ Miles. Lavs. O" 66 * or<l .-: 63 9 Sheridan Prater. 58 9 Hams , .57 8 Murphy 54 5 Hoskins -j 1 fed 53 9 farmer . r t 2 Mize ... * r t i £•“ 30 •Jacobus t) Wilson . u The prizes offered were S3OO for the first, S2OO for the second, and SIOO for the third. The attendance was large during the entire day, and the closing hours of the match found the warehouse densely packed. The door money is estimated at $2,000. This in all probability is the last foot, race in Atlanta. the Athletic Base Ball Club, of Atlanta, plays its second game with the Browns, ot Augusta, here to-morrow afternoon. STEEL RAILS BELOW PAR. The Official Organ of the Manufacturers Thinks that ltoek Bottom has been Touched. Philadelphia, July 25.—Referring to the recent break in the price of steel rails, the official organ of the American Iron and Steel Association to-day says: “There is a rock bottom for the steel rail price somewhere, and it is probable that the Pittsburg company reached it. One thiug is certain, there are mills that cannot run with profit at the Pittsburg price and must stop making rails if they can’t get a better price. \\ o seem to have reached a crisis in steel rails, the outcome of which must be an advance in prices if all previous ex perience is of any value. It is worthy of remembrance that tne condition of our steel rail trade is not a fair indication of the general condition ot our iron and steel industries. It is wholly exceptional. No other branch is as much depressed, be cause in no other branch has there been manifested tbe same ten dency to overproduction as in this. If we could have been contented to make Bessemer steel in this country by the slow methods that prevail in Europe, tbe output per converter and per turn in roll ing mill, we would not have glutted the market as we have done, but we had to beat all creation, and now we must check up and go slow like the English steel makers.

Half a Hundred Laborers Set Upon a Half-witted Girl wlio Wanders into tlieir Midst. Pittsburg, Pa., July 25.—The details of the robbery and outrage of Lizzie Bradley, a demented young woman, in a camp on the bank of the Mononsafaga on Tuesday evening, are horrible anffliave created great excitement here. After be ing decoyed from home on Sunday by a man named Kennedy, who deserted her in the woods, she wandered aimlessly about till she came to a laborers’ camp, composed of Hungarians, Irish, French and negroes, located near West Elizabeth. Her experience was so ter rible as to be almost without a parallel. When found on Tuesday she was uncon scious. Her clothes had been torn from ner body, which was covered with cuts and bruises. Her jewelry, valued at SSOO, was missing. The men fled at the ap proach of her friends, but detectives have been working hard on the case, and this afternoon five men were arrested for com plicity in the outrage. Twenty armed policemen in two four-horse wagons left for the camp at 10 o’clock to-night to ar rest the others, fifty men in all. The feel ing against them is intense. The young woman is still living but is in a critical condition. AX EXPLOSION ON THE RAILS. Four Lives Lost as tbe Result of the Bursting of an Engine's Boiler. Allentown, Pa., July 25.—The rear part of the boiler of an engine drawing a freight train on the Lehigh Valley Rail road, near Whitehaven to-day, blew out and killed four persons who were riding on the engine. The victims are J. H. Hassel, the engineer, brakeman Hassel, a son of the engineer, fireman V. Arm bruster, and E. Smith, telegraph operator. Smith was night telegraph operator at Mescopec, and was riding on the engine to his hotel at Whitehaven when the ex plosion occurred. The bodies of the en gineer and firemen were found torn to pieces in the woods, one hundred yards from the wreck. The remains of Smith were found under the tank of the locomo tive, horribly mangled. The explosion occurred in a lonely place, and nobody was left to notify trains in either direc tion. Shortly after the accident a long train of coal, ran iuto the exploded engine. The locomotive of tbe coal train was badly wrecked aid covered with broken cars. Twenty cars were scattered in dif ferent directions and broken iuto kind ling wood. Michael Green, engineer of the coal train, was seriously and perhaps fatally injured. The rest of the crew escaped by leaping lrom the train. A Dismal Future Before Edwards. Atlanta, July 25.—Dr. J.

POST OFFICE RETURNS. Returns received at the Post Office De partment from 159 letter carrier post offices, which produce nearly one-half of the postal revenues, show that the gross receipts for the quarter ended June 30, 1884, were $5,169,052 or $350,316, 5 7-10 per cent, less than the receipts from the same offices during the corresponding quarter of the preceding year. Upon this basis the receipts from all post offices during the quarter would aggregate $10,000,000, and the receipts for the year would be about $2,000,000 less than the receipts for the previous fiscal year. Sixteen offices show increased re ceipts. The diminution is attributed to the reduction of the letter rate from 3 to 2 cents, and the result of the year's busi ness, which is better than was expected, is highly gratifying to the financial officer of the Post Olliee Department. FINANCIAL CRASHES. Suspicious Fact* Developed in tho Har rison Rank Failure. Indianapolis, July 25.—There are some astonishing developments being made concerning the failure of the Har rison Bank. The bills receivable in the hands of Judee Lamb, receiver of the suspended bank, are estimated at less than $3,009 in value, while the cash assets amount tosll9.

London, July 25.—A Paris dispatch states that orders have been telegraphed to tbe French officers in command in China not to grant China any further delay, but to occupy Foo Chow at once if the demands of France are not satisfied. A DIFFERENT story. Paris, July 25.—The Shanghai corre spondent of Le Temps says that France has allowed China until July 31 to reply to the demand of France for an indemnity. Negotiations between Prime Minister Ferry and Tong Pao, the Chinese Minis ter, in regard to the indemnity demanded by France, have been suspended, the Chi nese representatives adhering to the last offer of 20.000,000 francs. M. Ferry has conceded China eight days’ delay. If, in the meantime, an agreement is not reached, the French squadron will seize Foo Chow. A FRENCH REVERSE.

IRELAND'S POOR GUARDIANS. London, July 25.— Public opinion in Ireland has been oftended by the action of the House of Lords in rejecting tbe bill reforming the system of electing Poor Guardians in Ireland. This bill passed the House of Commons. Apropos of this, the chief Conservative editors met the Marquis of Salisbury and Sir Stafford Nortbcote at the Carlton Ciub and had a long conference with them. The same matter was made the subject of an inquiry to-day in the House of Com mons by Mr. Parnell. Premier Gladstone, in reply, said that ho would be unable to introduce the meas ure in the House of Commons again this autumn in order to force it through the House of Lords. Mr. Parnell thereupon gave notice that he should ask Premier Gladstone to re consider this decision in view of the dif ficulty constantly experienced of obtain ing from the House of Lords legislation beneficial to Ireland. Lord Rossmore has written a letter to the Orangemen of couuty Monaghan, Ire land, in which he enjoins them to remain indoors upon the occasion of tbe national meeting at Monaghan Aug. 15, leavi-.g to the governmen t the responsibility of deal ing with the bitterest enemies of the em pire, with whom it has entered into an infamous compact.

HARD ON THE CULTIVATORS. Cairo, July 25.— The Minister of Fi nance, under orders from England, has issued a circular insisting on the payment of the tax arrears now outstanding. This will compel cultivators of the soil to sell their crops standing. In the case of the cotton crop it will have to be sold three months before harvest, and at a sacrifice of 40 per cent, its nominal value. It is believed that the object of the circu lar is to prove the Egyptian conference an ineffective way out of the existence of widespread misery in Egvpt, and thus lead it to acknowledge the necessity of an important reduction of the rate of taxa tion. A TRIBE AGAINST EL MAHDI. The Kabba-Bish tube has declared against El Mahdi. SUAKIN BOMBARDED. Suakin, July 25. —The rebels maintain ed a heavy fire upon the city last uight. Two Egyptian soldiers were wounded. The French Constitution. Paris, July 25.—1n the Senate to-day Prime Minister Ferry denied that revision of the constitution was an e^ectora. de vice. He said that 330 constituencies de manded the adoption of the measure, and its passage was required now. It would be declared to be impolitic to leave such a politic weapon to the extreme Left, from whom the government was ever-increas ingly separated. M. Ferry said that the vote of the Chamber of Deputies on the bill was a sufficient guarantee that it would be kept within the prescribed lim its. The Cabinet, he asserted, would not consider any departure from the ministe rial programme in relation to the bill. The Czar’s Visit to Warsatv.

Conley took first plaee, Teemer second and Gaudauer third. A Train Falls Through a Bridge. New' Orleans, July 25.—A special trom Vicksburg says: “A construction train on the Vicksburg, Shreveport and Texas Pacific Railroad fell through a bridge over Alligator bayou to-day, killing the engineer and fireman.

Cases of Cholera Constantly Cropping Out In tbe \ illageg of France—A Cor vette from Marseilles Finds no Haven of Refnge—A Discredited Allegation That a Cholera Death Has Occurred on the Mississippi. Pari£, July 25.—Isolated cases of cholera continue to be reported in various parts of France. A woman living at t ourbevoie, a village only a few miles from Paris, was seized with sporadic cholera Thursday. She was at once con veyed to a hospital and her lodging was thoroughly disinfected. No apprehension of further cases is believed to exist in the community. Two cases of cholera have occurred at Narbonne and St. Nazaire, a village not far from Toulon. Two deaths from the disease have occurred there. One of these deaths was ot an especially pathetic character. An unknown woman was seized with the dread disease while passing along the street. She fell prostrate to the ground and expired immediately. A _ pitiable case is reported from Mar seilles. An old woman of over 70 vears was missing for several davs. The police at la6t forced an entrance iuto her lodging and found her hotly upon the floor in such condition that she must have been dead for some days. An examination proved that she was a victim of cholera. She had lived almost exclusively on fruit. The corvette Argantina, which was re cently at Marseilles, desired to take on coal at Gibraltar. The English authori ties there forbade this and threatened to fire unless the vessel at once departed. The Argantina thereupon proceeded to a port in Portugal and began coaling, but the inhabitants of tbe port became panic stricken and compelled tbe authorities to rdcr the immediate departure of the un fortunate vessel. Where the Argantina is to find fuel enough to enable her to return to La Plata appears to be an insoluble problem. The condition of affairs at Arles is de plorable in the extreme. The water sup ply has been entirely cut off owing to an accident in the hydraulic apparatus and numerous funerals of cholera victims have been conducted by men who were generally drunk. These funerals have, moreover, beeu greatly retarded by the fact that carpenters refuse to make coffins tor those who die of cholera. Nearly all the bakers and butchers have left the city. The supply of food is consequently scarce and difficult to obtain. The panic through out the city is simply indescribable. The epidemic appears to be extending. One death has occurred at Saintes Maries de la Mer. Tbe inhabitants of that town want to expel all refugees from Aries. In six different villages of the department of Bouches du Phone from one to two deaths have occurred. In Vint Miglia, Italy, there have been 10 deaths. In the debato in the Chamber of Deputies yesterday, in regard to the French law in regard to cholera, Paul Bert described France as after Spain and Turkey the most backward country in Europe, so far as sanitation is concerned. There were fifteen deaths at Toulon last night. Five occurred in the hospital. It is feared that the stormy weather will in crease the epidemic. Six thousand peo ple have left Toulon In the last two days. The number of ueathßat Marseilles last evening was sixteen deaths. .Between 9 o’clock and noon to-day there was only one death from cholera at Marseilles. There is a large falling off in the number of cases. A steamer with cholera aboard arrived oft Huolya,in Spain. The populace was. panic stricken and fled into Portugal. Reports from Marseilles and Toulon up to 5:30 o'clock this afternoon showed that the condition of affairs in those cities was steadily improving. The Councillors of Arles who fled from the city at the ap proach of the cholera are to be prose cuted. In Marseilles at 6:50 o’clock to-night seventeen deaths from cholera bad oc curred since 11 o’clock this morning. The weather was cooler. At Toulon thirteen deaths from cholera had occurred during the day up to 6 o’clock to-night. There were three deaths from that disease at La Sicone to-day, one at Draguignar and one at La Roquebru sanee. Complaints are being made at Marseilles that measures of precaution against the spread ot the cholera have been slackened and that the work of dis infection is not sufficiently thorough. TROUBLESOME INCIDENTS. A number of undertakers were arrested who were selling clothing and bedding which belonged to victims of the epidemic. Only 300 persons are at work in the arsenal at Toulon. Seven thousand work men are usually employed there. At the lazaret in Luganscaty the attendants secreted the keys to the wine cellar. Wednesday, at 12 o’clock, after having got at the spirits and indulged freely, they assaulted the Sisters of Charity atid ministers, but a tierce resistance was offered. Soldiers were called, and suc ceeded in suppressing the outbreak. Several travelers who were there in accordance with the quarantine regula tions were wounded during the disturb ance. An order has been published at Metz that all persons wriving from France at ports in Alsace and Lorraine, without having certificates of health, will be expelled from the country. At Marseilles 38 deaths occurred during the 2 4hours ending at 9 o’clock to-night. At a meeting of the Extreme Left to night, it was unanimously decided to send a deputation of nine members of the Chamber of Deputies, headed by M. Clemenee, to Toulon and Marseilles to in quire into the cholera epidemic. The del egation invite the aid of others similarly interested. At Arles two doctors, who had arrived from Marseilles to-day, entered the prin cipal hotel. The proprietor, who was about to leave, said to them; “Here is the key. lam going to leave. Do the best you can.” THE DEATHS. The total number of deaths since the outbreak appeared will reach 1,000. Five hundred persons who were attacked with the disease have been cured. The proportion of cures would be greater if those rendering assistance were better or ganized. Much prejudice exists among the lower classes against the doctors. Many are convinced that they have been ordered to spread tbe epidemic by admin istering poisonous remedies. Some force physicians to taste their medicines before they can be prevailed upon to take them. The doctors are often afraid to enter houses owing to the hostility of the occu pants. The Spanish lazarettos are overcrowd ed. and misery thereby results. Spain has notified France that the quarantine regulations will not be raised until cholera has entirely vanished from France. Ail patients, with one excep tion, in the Paris hospitals afflicted with cholera disorders are doing well. At Maurillon, near Toulon, fifty cases of cholera were reported yesterday. While the disease is decreasing in Toulon and Marseilles, it is increasing in the surrounding villages. THE FEELING AT PARIS. London, July 25 — The Paris corre spondent of the Standard says that a large number of those who recovered from cholera show that the disease is not of the same deadly character which some previous outbreaks have displayed. There is a considerable exodus of people from Paris who are apprehensive that the epidemic will reach the capital, but noth ing of the nature ot a panic has yet ap peared. The correspondent has never seen Paris so deserted as at present. English and American tourists, he asserts,love Paris a wide berth. Such a scare be con tends is altogether unjustified, as the capital is better cleaned, more abundantly watered and healthier than any other city in Europe. The government win send Drs. Klien and Gibbes to co-operate with the Cholera Commission in India. SOUTH AMERICA’S QUARANTINE. Buenos Ayres, J uly 25.—The Sanita ry Commissions of Uruguay and those of the Argentina Republic have declared their ports closed to vessels from Mediter ranean ports. A SUSPICIOUS CASE AT LIVERPOOL. _ erpooL’ July 25.—A man named O Bnen, one of the crew of the steamer St. Dunstan, which arrived at Liverpool from Marseilles last week having had two cases of cholera on board, took lodging in a densely populated quarter of Liver pool. To-day he was seized with choleraic symptoms and was forthwith isolated. CHOLERA REPORTED ON THE MISSISSIPPI. Washington, July 25.—Surgeon Gen. Hamilton, of the Marine Hospital Ser vice, has been notified by Sergeant Ames, of that service, that a child died on the steamer Annie A. Silver at Port Ander son, Miss., of what was supposed to be Asiatic cholera. The steamer was bound from New Orleans to St. Louis. The dead child belonged to a family which recently arrived in New Orleans direct from Toulon. Dr. Hamilton immediately telegraphed to New Orleans to have a thorough examination of the statement that the parties were recent ly front Toulon, and also to the Marine Hospital Surgeons in St. Louis and at in termediate points on the river to investi gate as to the facts of death, and to en force proper precautions. The doctor says that he don’t believe that death was caused by cholera, but he couldn’t afford to take any chances. In answer to the dispatch sent Surgeon Ames, at Evansville, Dr. Hamilton has been informed by that officer that his dis patch of this evening was based on a telegram received by him (Arnes) from the officer in charge at Nashville, which stated that a case of cholera had been put off the Annie P. Silver at Port Anderson, and that the vessel was then on her way up the river. Secretary of State Frelinghuysen has just received from Consul Carroll, at Pa lermo, a telegram stating that vessels front the United States not touching at Italian or infected ports are now allowed to enter Sicily. A SCARE SUBSIDES. Galveston, July 25. Quarantine against New Orfeans steamers has been removed, the yellow fever scare having subsided. CURED BY PRAYER. A Norristown Lady's Recovery from Consumption Excites Much Comment. Miss Justitia Ashton, of Norristown, says the Philadelphia Record, has been flooded with communications and letters, or inquiry ever since tho publication of her alleged recovery from consumption by means of prayer. These have come from all parts of the country, asking how the cure was efl'ected. Miss Ashton is cer tainly far better than she was, but it is claimed that she has not wholly recovered from her affliction. There are "many theo ries indulged in by those of her neighbors who scout the idea of Divine inter vention. Some say that her disease could have been nothing more serious than a throat affection. They assert that the attending physician’s diagnosis was incorrect, and that the disease could not certainly have been consumption, while there are many who believe that the doc tor’s treatment and medicine adminis tered were the cause of the speedy relief. However, a large number of Mi'ss Ash ton’s friends believe that her recovery is auother illustration of faith cure, and frequently refer to the affair to in duce less pious people to nay more attention to their religious wants. One lady in New York, in writing to Miss Ashton, states that she Is also af flicted with consumption, and wants to know how much time must he spent in praying and the manner of going about it. There are many congratulatory notes among the communications. AU urge Miss Ashton to keep on praying fervently, so that she may be entirely relieved from the disease. The lady herself attributes her relief to prayer. This is rhe second faith cure case that has occurred in Montgomery county within a short time. A few weeks ago Miss Tillie Hollowed, who lives with her parents on Seventh street, above Main, Norristown, invited some church friends to visit her bedside and pray with her. In a few days she recovered sufficiently to go down stairs, after being confined to her room fer a period of five mouths. Her re covery since has been rapid. HIBERNATION OF REPTILES. Some Facts Not Generally Known. Charles C. Abbott, writing in Science, asserts that tlio hibernation of reptiles varies much according to the severity of the winter. Many turtles take refuge in the deep holes of ponds, and Dr. Abbott asserts that, in the severest cold weather, he has caught snapping turtles, the musk turtle and the box mud turtle in deep holes and about largo springs that dis charge their waters on level ground. As fish have been found partly eaten when taken In nets in mid-winter, Dr. Abbott concludes that the snapper takes an occa sional meal. At the same time he does not deny that the species found active in winter hibernate under certain condi tions. and that the other species of turtles hibernate. Snakes which live in water do not sleep so deep a winter sleep as do the black snake and others which frequent the uplands. The true water snake ( Tropi donotus sipedoti) may often be found in winter a foot or two beneath the sand of any spring-hole, and is not slow to swim oft when thus disturbed. This species and the common garter snake are the first to appear in the spring. The upland snakes may be literally broken into pieces without giving evidence of life, so thoroughly torpid are they. Toads and tree frogs, terrestrial and arboreal ani mals, are more sensitive to cold than the water-living frogs and salamanders. Frogs at the commencement of winter re treat to the bottoms of ponds and deep ditches; salamanders to the mud at the bottom of springs. All the kinds of frogs and three species of salamanders have been found in a hogshead sunk in the ground to collect the waters of a spring. They were slugeish, but not actually hi bernating. The Fatalist’s Terrible Test. The world is full of fatalists, says the San Francisco A 'ews Letter. It is an easy and comfortable belief. I have been told a peculiar anecdote on the subject. At a frontier post the officers mess was engaged in an ardent discussion. Wine had been freely partaken of, and, with one of my strange caprices of intoxication, there was philosophy at the bottom of the glasses. The Mahominedan religion was the sub ject of argument. Mussulmans believe in fate. Forthem a man’adestiny is written above, the time of his death is set, and nothing can advance it. Every one had something to advance or relate in pro or con argument. In answer to one of the officers who demanded to know of what use and to what purpose was rea son and its controlling power if we were born with the tag of our destiny attached, another—a new comer—arose and said: “Gentlemen, what is the use of discussion? Jlake a practical test of the question. Take me as the subject. Can a man wilfully dis pose of his life, or is the fatal moment chosen by a higher power? Try the ques tion tor me. Who will conduct the ex periment?” No one answered. Then some one proposed a wager. “Done,” was the answer. The subject drew a pistol, showed that it was loaded, and held it to his temple. “Twenty dollars. I believe? Who will pay if I lose.” He pulled the trigger, and the pistol missed fire. “A joke,” cried tne crowd. The fatalist smiled. He recocked the pistol, and with a steady hand aimed at a clock on the wall. He fired, and the bullet went right through the centre of the dial. “Apologize now,” said he; “1 have won the bet. 1 alwaysdid believe in late.” 15 Snrvlvors of the Gijon Landed. Madrid.

Earl of Wharneliffe, Baron Weu lock and Lord Edward Cavendish, Mr. Cyril Flower, Sir George Balfour, Mr Albert Grey and Mr. Charles Palmer’ members of the House ot Commons getber with More-ton Frewin, the delegate of the Wyoming stock growers, were present. The speakers urged that cheap, healthy cattle were obtainable through Canada and from the country nest of the Missouri river.

Baron Carlingford replied for himself and for Bight Hon. Ueo. Dodson, Chan ceJlor of ho Duchy of Lancaster. He said that they realized the extreme inter est and importance of the statements which had been made and the plea which had been urged, and they would bestow carefttl consideration on them. ■ refrumetl from saying, however, whether tho importation of cattle Into Great Britain from Wyoming would be consistent with the law. lie thought that it would be necessary to consult Canada before any slops could be taken.

He argued that Wyoming had done everything in her power to prevent infection. There was no possihlo reason why cat tle tYom that Territory brought by vvay of the great lakes should not bo admitted in Great Britain. All purties would be benefited if this was done. Mr. Dodson said that ho was ready to welcome cheap meat, dead or alive, if only it was proved to be perfectly safe. J. W. Barclay, member of Parliament, stated that at public meetings in For farshire his constituency had declared in favor of the admission of American cattle. Lord IV enlock, Albert Grey, member of Parliament, and Arthur Arnold, member of Parliament, spoke in support of the deputation. Baron Carliugford gave it as his opinion that tho conditions un der which the Privy Council might admit these cattle formed a question, the con sideration of which was beset with numerous difficulties.
