Augusta, Ga., Nov. 25.—The stock
holders of the proposed exposition met en
masse to-night and adopted their new char
ter, after which $l,OOO was raised on the
spot to swell the already large fund. The
name, ‘‘The Augusta National Exposition
Company," was adopted after considerable
discussion. The next meeting will not be
held until January.
Robert Wntkiiis, of this city, while

sengers. .Several hunting parties, laden
with spoils of the chase, also came in on
b laid of her. The market is overflowing
with game in consequence.
Augusta had a novelty in the way of the

LITTLEWOOD S STRIDE.
He Must Coyer 91 Miles in 25 Hours
to Beat the Record.
Philadelphia, Nov. 25.—Th > largest
crowd of the week was in attendance at the
walking match to-night. Littlewood has
increased his lead over Albert, and the
point of interest now is whether or not he
will beat the filO miles record made by Fitz
gerald. The Englishman is in good condi
tion, and is confident that he will lower the
record. At W o’clock to-night he had covered
520 miles, leaving 01 miles to make in the
remaining twenty-five hours of the race to
succeed in his object. In the twenty-four
hours ending at it o’clock be covered 84
miles. Albei t and Panchot are in good
condition and will certainly pass the 500-
mile mark, and it is thought that Noremac
and Elson will also reach that point, but it
Will require steady work on their part to do
so.
At 11 o’clock to night the score stood:
Mill*. Lap*.
Littlewood 524
Albert 481
Panchot 463 9
Noremac 442

BLESSED WITH TWO MOUTHS.
Tet the Ladies Do Not Love Him for
That Fact.
From the New York Tim •*.
They have got a two-mouthed man up in
the Bowery. He is a blonde young man,
with a smooth face and a sort of sewer-gas
expression, who sits on a platform drinks
water with one mouth and simultaneously
smokes a cigarette with the other, and does
various other similar duets for the delecta
tion of the mob. Bis upper mouth is in the
fashionable locality, and constitutes a me
dium sized aperture immediately under his
nose and immediately over his chin. His
other one is underneath his chin. The lower
one is not good for much, as he has had
brass lit* fitted to it, and the two-headed
cow, who felt quite badly when he came,
has become reconciled after watching his
performances.
Otto Toljiefer is the man. In a talk with
him yesterday Otto did not exhibit that sat
isfaction over his unusual blessings that
one might expect. He said he was born
that way and couldn’t help it. His folks
were poor, and he supposed It was a sort of
congenital sarcasm on his parents, who al
ready had more mou t,hs to fill than the lar
der was equal to. When Otto talks he uses
his upper mouth and shuts the lower one
with his finger. This gives him a sort of
flageolet manner that is a little trying. It
seem as if he were playing conversational
tunes on himself. The luxurious vista of
ecstasies conjured up by the idea of two
mouths Otto does not fulfill. He cannot
eat, except with the upper one, and he can
not talk very well with either. Unless he
stojis up the lower one in speaking, he is
forced to talk to a whistling accompaniment.
This does not take place because the lower
one is jealous, but because the lower one
cannot help it. Moreover, the leak in
his tracheal bellows gives his
voice a strange and unreal
whispering sound like that of a sexton at a
funeral. Instead of having the fair sex at
his feet, as might ignorantly be expected,
Otto is a lonesome bachelor. That kissing
tendency which Darwin observed through
•11 the scale of organic evolution, beginning
with the sumlieams that kissed the sea, is
discoverable in quite a number of Otto's
friends of the feminine gender, but still
they do not adore him. Whenever, in the
process of courtship, he has kissed anybody
with his upper mouth the lower oiie has
whistled. This interruption iqipears to be
awkward and unpopular. His second mouth,
in fact, keeps close and envious watch on liis
first, amUthe sentimental bugle cal) spoils
all his tender plans. He is resigned, how
ever, and now uses it simply to smoke ciga
rettes with and play on a land of squeejee,
which combines the neurologic effect of the
mouth harmonica w ith a slow and lingering
death by the accordion.
Otto is not a pleasant object to gaze at
excessively, and as a wall decoration he
would not succeed. The brass cap on the
unnecessary aperture in his windpipe gives
him a sort of Frankenstein look, and con
veys the idea of chamois-skin lungij and a
morroeco leather hsart. He does not look
at all happy, and in comparison with him
the armless wonder, as he passes a forkload
of tried potatoes to his mouth by aid of the
first and second toes of his right foot, is a
thing of beauty and juy for quite a while.
Women as Inventors.
From the American Manufacturer.
Up to Dee. 14,1880, there had been granted
to women by the United States letters
patent for 1,935 inventions. This is doubt
less a good many more patents than the pub
lic had thought had been grunted to women;
yet there really should have been more, and
there would have been if women would
think more. But then to do that they would
have to talk leas, which could not bethought
of for a moment. Seriously, the household
and other branches of women’s work fur
nish a iarge Held for the exercise of their in
ventive genius, and it begins to look as if
they would work it better in the future than
they have in the past. Neither should it bo
overlooked that they have invented many
useful things that have never seenjfrthe
patent office, and of which the world has
never heard. Woman is not in the habit of
proclaiming her achievements with the blare
of trumpets.
JESSE POMEROY BLIND.
The Young Massachusetts Fiend Ren
ders Himself Helpless.
Ho*ton Correspondent Mew Fork World.
Jesse Pomeroy, the notorious criminal,
now serving a life sentence, who made a
futile attempt to escape from prison Friday
night, lost his sight by the explosion of gas
in his cell. He is totally blind, and of
course helpless to make any farther attempt
to break out of the State prison in the
Charlestown District, where he will pass the
remainder of his day*. After Pomeroy had
tapped the gas main, he placed a blanket in
front of his cell and turned On the gas,
thinking he could get out of the way before
the explosion took place, but he made a mis
take in his estimate, and the force of the
explosion rendered him unconscious and
deprived him of the sense of sight.
On Aug. 25 Jesse Pomeroy made another
well-planned and desperate attempt to es
cape from the Charlestown State prison by
sawing through the bars of his cell. It was
purely by accident that the young murder
er’s plan was discovered, which was so cau
tiously matured that he would otherwise
have succeeded. On Pomeroy’s person were
found two fine saws of the best chilled steel
and a quantity of gelatine, which ho had
used to hide his work. As Pomeroy had re
peatedly boasted that the only ambition of
liis life was to kill his keepers and escape
from the prison, he has been kept a close
prisoner in a solitary cell in a remote part of
the building. His only visitor has been his
mother, who calls once in two months and
converses with her son through the bars
in the presence of a jailer
How Pomeroy secured the saws ami gela
tine is a mystery which worries the prison
authorities, and brings to mind the various
files, knives, saws and chisels he has lieen
provided with in times past. Pomeroy is
considered the most dangerous convict in
the prison, and for some time past lie has
been lodged in the strongest cell in the
building. When the addition was made to
the prison, a few years ago, this cell was
made of large blocks of granite, into which
were sunk steel bars and gratings of un
usual strength. The cell was designed for
Pomeroy for serving a life sentence, and the
prison authorities have frequently answered
the young man’s murderous threats by say
ing that if he could escape from that cell he
was at liberty to kill as many people as he
liked. Pomeroy has always replied that no
cell would hold him, and he would have the
keeper's life in good time.
On the night this plan was discovered
Keeper Winslow went his rounds as usual,
and while waiting to be relieved by the next
watch against the grating of the
window which opens from the corridor op
posite Pomeroy’s cell into the prison yard.
To Winslow’s amazement the groat inch
and a half bars yielded. He pressed liis
band against them and two of the bars fell
to the pavement below. The entire watch
was aroused, and they instinctively began
the search of the prison at Pomeroy’s cell.
By testing the bars in the little window of
the young murderer’s cell it wts found that
enough of them had been sawed through to
admit the passage of a man’s body.
They were held in place bv gelatine, col
ored by the bits of steel filing so that it
could not be detected. There was no dust
or bits of iron to lie seen, and the work had
been done as carefully as it must have been
done noiselessly to escape the ears of the
watchman. Pomeroy was at once searched
and two steel saws were found secreted in
the lining of his prison jacket. He was
furious at the discovery of his plot and he
declared that if they had given him time to
saw one more bar in the corridor window he
would have killed the watchman and made
good his escape. To do this would require
the help of confederates outside before he
could have scaled the high prison wall
which surrounds the yard.
The prison officials believe that all this
had been arranged and that Friday night
hail been set for his escape. It is also the
opinion of the keepers that Pomeroy’s aged
mother, who is devoted to her son, supplied
him with the saws and arranged the other
details of his expected escape. Miie has
been a constant visitor ever since her son
was imprisoned, eleven years ago, and has
been suspected of helping him in each of his
other almost successful attempts to break
out.
The first attempt to escape was made some
nine years ago. Then Pomeroy was em
ployed in the brush factory and spent his
leisure moments in loosening a boulder of
r.ck that mode at the same time the outer
wall of the prison and the outer wall of his
cell. Soon after this Pomeroy was placed
in a solitary cell and began to loosen the
bare with a piece of iron wrenched from his
bed. A little later the murderer had con
trived to pick the lock of the cell door with
an instrument made from the steel which
sha: ed the instep of his shoes. A plot was
then discovered whereby Pomeroy and two
other prisoners were to kill the keeper and
escape over the roof.
About three years ago it was accidentally
discovered that Pomeroy had hollowed out
a place in the seat of his stool and had swal
lowed the bits of wood to avoid detection.
In the hole thus made the murderer laid
secreted a cold-chisel and covered it over
with putty of the same color as the stool.
This chisel was to be used in digging the
way out and then to kill as many keepers as
came within reach. The prison authorities
think that Pomeroy has been busy with his
last attempt for a year or more.
Jesse Pomeroy, when scarcely 12 years
old, began to develop the disposition of a
fiend. From time to time he decoyed little
boys, varying in age from Bto 10 years, to
lonesome spots in Chelsea, where he hound
them to trees, whipped them with cudgels
of wool and cut them with nis poeketkniie.
On the testimony of seven boys he was sent
to the reform school, but lie had hardly re
gained his liberty when he murdered Katie
Curran, a child of 13 years, at South Bos
ton. The body he buried in an ash-heap, in
the cellar of his mother’s house. Ho was
then 14 years old. -
A few months later he decoyed a little
boy named Horace Milieu out on the marsh
es at South Boston, and cut his body into
pieces with his pocket knife. The injuries
were made so as to prolong the torture as
long rs possible. The body was hidden in the
smouldering ashes of a (dam hake. These
crimes Pomeroy has confessed, and the citi
zens of Chelsea and South Boston declare
that he is the murderer of at least one other
little child, and has practiced his inhuman
tortures ou many others.
LEPERS IN PHILADELPHIA.
A Woman and Her Daughter Afflicted
With the Disease.
From the New York San.
Phh.adki.phia, Nov. 20. — The two lepers,
mother and daughter, about whom there
has been so much comment during the past
two weeks, came into the office of the Board
of Health yesterday of their own accord,
and were sent out to the municipal hospital
for contagious diseases in the hospital am
bulance. When the unfortunate woman
raised her veil her face presented a dreadful
appearance. It looked as though it had l>oen
scalded. The skin wus drawn and contract
ed and seamed with wrinkles. Tho hands
and arms which she displayed wore covered
with a shiny skin, which was also cracked
and seamed. The little girl, who is only
about 12 years old, did not seem to boas
laid as the mother, although her face
showed plainly that she was suffering from
some skin disease. Both mother and
daughter were neatly dressed.
The woman said that her name was Isa
-1 Kill a Miranda. She declined to give any
definite information about her family.
When the poor woman told her story, her
voice choked sometimes by sobs, and tears
flowed from her eyes. She is a native of
this country, and al>out twenty years ago
married a native of Brazil. They lived
hero for ten years and then went to Brazil,
taking their two children with them. Since
that time they have lived in that country
most of the time in Para. Two other chil
dren were born to them. The woman’s hus
band, who died several years ago, was Cap
t un on a boat that plied up and down the
Amazon, and the woman says that what
THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1887.
ever the nature of the disease is with which
herself and daughter are afflicted, she is
positive it is the effect of poison.
About four years ago they both ate of a
Brazilian plant which is very poisonous. In
that country they have a root which much
resembles a potato, but the effects of which
on the human system are deadly. One of
these roots was cooked by mistake, and the
woman and her child partook of a portion
of the dish before the error was discovered.
They afterward became sick. The disease
seemed to take a deeper ami deeper hold,
until they were reduced to such straits that
it was determined to send them both to this
country for medical treatment. They have
relatives in this city, and to them they
came about two years ago, and here they
have lived ever since.
Mis. Mirande says that she has been un
der the care of Dr. Van Arlingen, but was
never told the exact nature of her disease.
She does not know now positively just what
it is. Her condition ana that of her child,
she said, has much improved since they
have been here, and about three weeks ago
she determined to return to her home in the
city of Para. She has two grown-up chil
dren there, one of whom is a young wo
man who is married, while the other
is a boy 19, who is learning to be a pilot.
Her youngest child, about 5 years old, is
also there. All these are perfectly healthy,
and have never displayed aßy syptoms of
the disease.
Mrs. Mirande left this city, and went to
New York, where she took passage on a
steamer for Brazil but she did not know
the name of the vessel. Hardly had they
got well out at sea when the ship’s physi
cian found out what was the matter with the
two passengers, and the Captain determined
to land them at the first opportunity. The
vessel put in at Newport News, and the
sorely afflicted woman and her little girl
were obliged to disembark, being told that
under the circumstances it would be impos
sible to put them ashore in a Brazilian port.
She determined at once to come back to this
city, and arrived at Broad street station
yesterday mornjng. Heartbroken at not
being permitted to go back to her home,
filled with misgivings that she would not
see her other children any more, and know
ing that she had a disease, whatever it was,
which would cause all to shun her, she con
cluded not to go back to her friends, but
to let the health authorities attend to her
case.
The fact that lepers had been in this city
was made known to the Board of Health on
Nov. 1, although they had probably left at
that time. Dr. Fora, who was then seen,
gave it as his opinion that leprosy was not
contagious unless a person came into actual
contact with the sufferer or handled the
clothing. In liis report of the cases to the
County Medical Society, Dr. Van Arlingen
says: “Leprosy is indeed contagious in my
belief, and in that of the majority of ob
servers, but contagious in a slow and uncer
tain manner.”
POOR ROSA MARTENS.
Insane, Married, Insane Again, Re
covered, Deserted by her Husband,
Dead.
From the New York Sun.
Rosa Martens, a young black-eyed Jewess,
was brought to the insane pavilion of Belle
vue Hospital on Aug. 9 last suffering from
melancholia. She was beginning to im
prove when, in a few days, an elderly man
came and took her away, contrary to the
advice of the doctors. In less than a week
the patient was returned to the hospital by
Frederick Arndt. She said that she had
lieen married to Arndt three days before.
Her disease became more pronounced, and
she tried to choke herself to death. Dr.
YVildinan said that under the circumstances
marriage was the worst thing that could
have happened to her.
Arndt is 20 years old, and is a briiker em
ployed by Charles Egler, at 255 Third
avenue. Arndt lived with the Eglers, and
according to them was nearly crazed about
his sweetheart. He said that when he was
absent from her she would become uncon
trollable, but when he was with her she
would be jierfectly rational. He did not
want to postpone their marriage, on account
of fear of making her condition worse, and
he was afraid of what the consequences
would be if he married her. Armlt was
finally convinced that marriage would dis
sipate Rosa’s insanity. Marriage had the
contrary effect, and, after being taken back
to Bellevue, Rosa was taken to Blackwell's
Island Insane Asylum. She improved, and
about fiva weeks ago Arndt obtained her re
lease from the asylum and went with her to
board at Philip Bauer’s house, 139 East
One Hundred and Tenth street. But in three
days, for some unknown reason, he deserted
her. Rosa became despondent. She said
that since her husband had left her she did
not care to live. The Bauers thought of re
turning Rosa to the asylum, but they felt
that Arndt might appear any day, and did
not like to take the step.
She obtained a place as nurse in Sixty
second street on last Friday, but sho came
back to the Bauers on Sunday morning very
much discouraged. That evening she was
found vomiting. Yesterday morning at
ti:3o o’clock Mrs. Bauer took a bowl of oat
meal into Mrs. Arndt’s room and found that
she was dead. There were evidences of ar
senical poisoning.
The case was reported to the East 126th
street police as a suicide. The Bauers say
that they have not the means to bury Rosa.
They do not know that she has a relative or
friend besides her husband. When Arndt
left his wife, he is reported to have said:
“You shall never see me again. I will
commence anew lile far away from here.”
Rosa was born in Berlin. Previous to her
insanity she was a saleswoman in a picture
store in Ninth street.
The Discovery of Quinine.
] \‘om the St. lA)Uis Globe-Democrat.
They would have little to boast of over
the Sangrados of the past. The use of
"bark” in marsh fevers revolutionized the
practice of medicine, but the best results to
be had from this priceless treasure were not
possible until Pelletier and C'nventon dis
covered and separated quinine from the
crude bark in 18i!0. There are a number of
principles, mostly possessing a part of the
virtues of quinine, to bo obtained from
Peruvian (cinchona) bark, but none of them
approach it in potency. There are vast
populations subject to malarial influences at
the present time, and among whom the
properties of Peruvian bark ana its products
nave never boon known. Among the swarm
ing millions of China, as near as can be as
certained, the anti-periodic properties of
arsenic have been utilized for centuries. In
Hindoostan malarial fevers do much damage.
Next to cholera they are probably the most
destructive of the diseases there to be
encountered. Since the recent introduc
tion of the culture of the cinchona tree, the
use of alkaloids derived froin its bark has
mostly superseded the native remedies.
These were opium, camphor, black and red
peppers. Opium has certainly considerable
power over these diseases, and it is probable
that the Chinese also utilize these virtues.
The native nurses in India do not give any
anti-periodic before the third day of a fever,
knowing that the disease is quite likely to
cease spontaneously if the functions of the
skin and bowels are carefully attended to for
a few days. This may not appear to be very
good practice to those who are accustomed to
see an intermittent broken up with the great
est certainty by the use of a few doses of
some anti-1 wriodic. It is claimed, however,
for the Indian method that a fever allowed
to terminate by simply encouraging the
natural functions is much less apt to re
lapse than one that is broken up with qui
nine or the other preparations of “bars,”
without attention to the skin, kidneys or
bowels.
Macakoons and taffy are now the toothsome
medicines by which the most nauseous of reme
dies. cod liver oil, may be taken into the system.
A single macaroon or a square of taffy is made
to contain a tablespoonful of oil, but so com
pletely disguised that children eagerly swallow
the sweet* without suspicion, while their elders
gratefully commend this most successful experi
ment in the interests of medicine.

Local and General Gossip in Railway
Circles.
The name of the Blue Springs, Orange
City and Atlantic (Fla.) railroad is to be
changed to the Atlantic and Western.
W. J. Craig, Assistant General Freight
and Passenger Agent, of the Port Royal aup
Western Carolina railway, was in the city
yesterday.
Supts. Starr, of the Port Royal and West

The new Atlantic and Gulf (Fla.) is to
lie surveyed at once, and the Orlando re
jsirter says it will start on the east side of
the St. John’s river, about opposite Jack
sonville, crossing the river at Mount Royal,
and leading westward for Apopka City,
through which it will run. from thence
the t'ourse will be southwest, until Naples,
on the Gulf coast, is reached, which will
probably bo the terminus of the road.
The annual meeting of the stockholders of
the Cheraw and Darlington Railroad Com
pany was held at Florence, S. C., on Thurs
day. The annual reports of the company’s
officers were submitted and accepted. A
dividend of $1 50 per share on the 7,842
shares of the company’s stock was declared,
payable on and after Dec. 15, 1887. The
following officers were unanimously elected
to serve through the ensuing year : A. F.
Ravenel, President; Directors: W. T. Wal

The Tavares (Fla.) Herald says that those
who nave sneered at Maj. Abrams’ railroad
schemas have accused him of promising to
“build a railroad to every man’s backdoor.”
However this may be, he is surpassed in
this respect by the projectors of the Lees
burg and Lake Region railroad, the scope
of which is thus outlined by the
Commercial “The scheme contem
plates a railway connection for Leesburg
with all parts of the lake region. The road
is to encircle Lake Griffin and pass south
from here along the western and southern
shores of Lake Harris to Astatula, .with
possible extensions to Montverde, on Lake
Apopka, and Clermont and Minneola, on
Lakes Minnehaha and Minneola.” This
caps tho climax of all proposed railroads,
and, in its proposed tortuous windings, re
minds one of the nursery * 'ain of cars
which runs around all over the floor, with
no definite route or location in view.

Lincoln-Hamlin Combination.
From the Washington Critic.
“What’s in a name!” has been a question
sufficiently unanswered for centuries to still
remain a subject for discussion, and what is
in two names should have a double interest.
If you don’t think so, take two names as well
known us any in American history and look
at them. They are Lincoln and Hamlin.
Nothing peculiar about them as they stand,
but set, them up differently and see what
they are.' For instance:
HAM LIN
LIN COLN
Read up and down and then across.
There’s something in that, isn’t there?
Now again:
ARRA-HAMLTN-COLN.
Can you find two other names of two
other in6n whose official lives and whoso
names combine as these do?

Mrs. Cleveland's Diamonds.
The ladies have doubtless read much of
the handsome diamond necklace of Mrs.
Cleveland, and while we wouldn’t for a
moment insinuate that any lady envies its
popular possessor, still many would take
pleasure in at least looking at it. A coun
terpart of this glorious string of gems, with
its lovely and dazzling pendant, can be in
spected in the jewelry establishment of Mr.
M. Sternberg, 157 Broughton street, who
will take pleasure in exhibiting its charms
to every lady who will honor him with a
visit. The necklace in question is to be
raffled, and in the interval it can be seen
and inspected as above. Besides the neck
lace, there are still many articles in Mr.
Sternberg’s treasure house that are worthy
of a visit, and the proprietor and his atten
tive salesmen will take especial pains to
show their immense stock of Jewelry, Dia
monds, Silverware, Art Objects, Bronzes,
etc. There is no obligation to buy what
ever, and Mr. Sternberg will be equally
happy to show through those who do not
wish to buy as those who do. Everybody
shotdd see the Diamond Necklace, as it is
certainly a superb collection of brilliant
gems. Our holiday display is now arranged
for inspection. Respectfully,
M. Sternberg,
157 Broughton street.

We are Thankful
For many things—for Thanksgiving day in
particular—for our success in commanding
and holding so large, influential and well
satisfied a patronage. We feel that we tried
hard to deserve what we got. We believe
our many patrons will gladly yield us credit
for what we have achieved. Like Oliver
Twist, however, we are willling to “have
some more.” There are many whose wants
are yet unsupplied. There are many yet
only partially supplied. We await all these.
Our stock of Clothing, Overcoats and Fur
riishings seem still undiminished, notwith
standing the heavy inroads made upon. it.
We try to keep everything replenished and
up to the mark. Our Overcoat counters
have been struck heavy, but there are
plenty left. You <*au never get enough of
a good thing. Our jiatrons appreciate this,
for we have been careful to provide only
such clothing as would be a credit to seller
and buyer. Our prices are low and there
isn’t room for any complaint that we can
see. The Big Golden Arm beckons all
to come under its protecting influences.

Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup should
always be used when children are cutting
teeth. It relieves the little suffer at once; it
produces natural, quiet sleep by relieving
the child from pain and the little cherub
awakes as “bright as a button.”
It is very pleasant to taste. It soothes the
child, softens the gums, allays all pain, re
lieves wind, regulates the bowels, and Is the
best known remedy for diarrhoea, whether
arising from teething or other causes. 35
cents a bottle.
If you wish to economize, buy your Gro
