Prof. Virchow’s assistant, has made an
examination of the shreds of tissue taken

shreds contained bacilli, which was not

Mr. Pettus stated that the temperance
question had been fought over several
times in his couuty, and was now settled
to the satisfaction of all the people of

Montgomery county from the operations
of the bill.
Mr. Brewer thought the bill ill-advised,

THE QUAKER CITY EXCITED OVER TWO
FINANCIAL SENSATIONS.
Philadelphia, November 29. — The
failure of B. K. Jameson & Co. divided
the attention of the street this morning
with the startling publication of John A.
Baker, Jr.’s, gigantic forgeries. The gen
eral opinion seems to be that the failure
of Jamison & Co. will be worse than at
first reported. -The firm are said to have
been large borrowers lately, and several
financial institutions of this city are
thought to have been heavily hit by their
suspension. The failure has had no ap
preciable effect on the local stock market,
stocks being dull but steady. As yet the
firm have not made any statement regard
ing their position, and Assignee Thomp
son, said it would be impossible to give
even an approximate estimate of the
assets and liabilities.
No information in regard to Baker’s
enormous speculations will be made public
by counsel of the absconder’s family. It
is the general impression that Baker has
made good his escape from the country
and will not be apprehended.
State Treasurer Boyer today entered two
suits in the Common Pleas Court against
B. K. Jamison A Co. upon their bond for
$100,000, dated in June last, to secure the |
payment ot the Mate’s money, which the j
firm are said to have had in their posses- j
sion. In the affidavit, filed with the bond, i
Boyer avers that the amount due on the j
bond filed in the action and the judgment I
thereon is $25,000, that being the amount |
at this time on deposit with Jamison <£ I
Co. By the suit it 13 sought to hold, not I

INTERNAL REVENUE COLLECTORS.

Mr. Sayre called the attention of the
House to the provision of the hill which
he characterized as a radical measure. He
believed that the bill was conceived as a
temperance measure, and its effect, the
originators thought would be to preveut
the violation of the laws against
the sale of liquors on Sun lay. In this,
he thought, the measure would be inoper
ative, because the violation of the Sunday
laws was a secret hack door affair, while
on the other hand, the restaurant was an
open, public place, in which the violation
$1,198,616 on tobacco, and $1,301,550 on j
fermented liquors.
EARTHQUAKE SHOCK IN AUSTRIA. i
Vienna, November 29.—A series of ,
shocks of earthquake was tell at Gauners- •
dorf, Lower Austria, today. Some of the j
shocks were very severe. Houses oscil
lated on their foundations, and the spires
of churches swung to and fro, causing the
bells to dang. The inhabitants of the
town were panic-stricken and fled to the
open country for safety.
Berlin, November 29.—[Copyright,
1890, by New York Associated Press.]—
Dr. Von Gassier, Prussian Minister of
ecclesiastical affairs, replying in the Lower
House of the Diet today to an interpella
tion of Herr Graff, as to what measure the
Government intended to take to promote
the adoption of Prof. Koch’s remedy, de
clared that the aspersions cast upon cer
tain physicians engaged in using the lymph
had proved groundless. The finance min
istry, Dr. Von Gassier said, had placed at
the disposal of Prof. Koch sufficient funds
to enable him to continue bis inquiries and
prodndrtlre lymph. There was now good
ground to hope that the remedy would be
found to be efficacious in the treatment
of other diseases than tuberculosis.
Care had been taken to make
the remedy perfectly accessible to the
poor. In the course of time, the prepara
tion of the lymph would be intrusted to
competent, persons employed by the State.
A private gentleman had given 1,000,-
000 marks, the Minister stated, to be used
for the benefit of poor persous suffering
from tuberculosis. He had requested
Prof. Koch to make public only to a
limited extent the camposition of the
lymph, so as to ren er its imitation im
possible. Touching the present preparation
of the lymph, Hr. V'011 Gassier said that
Professor Koch and Liberts and Pfuhl had
been at work solely in procuring a supply
and had demonstrated that it could be
procured very cheap. Regarding the ques
tion of placing the manufacture of iympn
under the exclusive control of the State,
Dr. Von Gassier thought that a feeling of
satisfactio . would be experienced through
out the world if Prussia should set her
stamp upon the lymph, but the guarantee
must be given against financial or subsidia
ry conditions. The Government would
invite other nations to send representa
tives to study the use of the remedy in
order that they might apply it in their
own countries. Dr. Von Gasster’s state
ment, indicating as it does an intended
prolonged guarding of the secret of the
lymph, disappointed the numerous foreign
medical men assembled here. The Eng
lish group assert that it is hopeless to ex
pect their college of physicians to recog
nize the use of lymph, as it is against the
canons of the college to permit the applD
cation of a remedy the composition of
which is a secret. Dr. Kowalksky, the
leading Austrian army physician and chief
of the Institute of Bacherialogy at Vienna,
defends the guarding of the preparation of
the lymph on the ground that it is one of
the most powerful medicines discovered
and cannot be applied too cautiously.
Prof. Koch says If it were placed without
reserve iu the the haudB cf all practition
ers, more deaths would result from its use
titan ever were, caused by consumption.
Five pat'ents who were under treatment
by the Koch method have died in this city.
Two gir.s w ho were in an advanced stage of
tuberculosis and a child suffering from
brain tubercles died soon after the first in
jection, and one voting man died from
hemorrhage after having received several
injections. The fifth death was that of a
soldier who was under treatment for lnpus.
A limited company is being formed in
Munich, under Prof. Ziemsen, with a
capital of 2,000.060 marks, to establish a

Palace.

The first bill to come before the Reich

abolishing the tariff on raw sugar and in
creasing the duty on the refined article.
THE INDIAN MESSIAH.
THE FRAUD THAT IS I’RACTICED ON POOR
I.O.
Washington, November 29.—J. S.
Mayhugh, until recently special agent of
the Indians for Nevada, has written to the
Indian bureau upon the subject of th«
Indian Messiah. In bis letter, Mayhugh
says: “The prophet resides in Mason
X'alley, Esmerelda county, Nevada,
close to the Walker river reserva
tion. His name is not Johnson
who resides at Reno, but Capt. Jack Wil
son, known among all Indians by th*
Indian names of We-No-IIar, and also Co-
We-Jo, an intelligent, fine-looking Indian
about thirty-five years of age, who goes
into trances, or seemingly so, from twelve
to fourteen hours in the presence of large
numbers of Indians. L T pon his recovery,
he relates to them that he has
been to heaven and that the Messiah is
coming to the earth again and will put
the Indians in possession of this country;
that he has seen in heaven heap of Indians,
some whom are dressed in white men’s
clothes. He counseled the Indians not to
disturb the white folks, saying that a
blanket and rabbit skin that were put over
the moon by the Indians long ago, will
soon fall off and then the moon, which is
now a fire, will destroy the whites. The
Messiah is to appear on Mount Grant,
which is a very large mountain, held by
.he Indians to be sacred, and situated
about sixteen miles south of the Walker
river agency buildiDgs, and on the
west side of the lake. Here
is where the first Indians appeared,
according to the Indian tradition. May
hugh says he understands that various
tribes expect to send delegations to this
mountain, and he recommends that they
be allowed to visit the mountain to see for
themselves what truth there is in the
prophesy.
ENTERTAINING THE RRAZILIANS.
Washington, November 29.—-The Bra
zilian naval officers were taken down the
river to Mount Vernon on the United
States steamer Dispatch this morning.
They were accompanied by Admiral
Walker and Lieutenants Mason, Bucking
ham and Staunton. This evening the vis
itors were entertained at dinner by the
Metropolitan Club. Monday night Secre
tary Tracy will give a reception in their
honor at the Arlington. The party leave
here for New York Tuesday morning.
ANOTHER GIGANTIC TRUST.
Chicago, November 29.—A local paper
says: The threshing machine men of the
United States have caught the infection
from their brothers of the binders, and are
busily engaged in forming a gigantic trust,
which it is thought will rival in magni
tude the recently formed Har
vester Company. Negotiations are
now going on in this city
between the representative men of the
principal threshing machine works in the
country. It is known that a temporary
organization'has been effected and that
very soon articles of incorporation will be
filed, covering a combine with a capital
stock of at least $20,000,000.
RIDICULING STANLEY.
Paris, November 29.—Col. Chaillie
Long, the Franco-American chief of Gen.
Gordon’s staff during the Soudan cam
paign in 1874, in an interview, ridicules
Stanley’s early statements regarding the
conversion to Christianity of the King of
Uganda. lie calls the rescue of Emin
Pasha a philanthropic masquerade, and
generally questions the truth of Stanley’s
accounts of his journey. Col. Long pre
dicts that Stanley will be found to have
been guilty of imposture and disloyalty,
and challenges an answer his assertion.
