2 AUGUSTA’S ANNALS. The Exposition Stockholders Organize Under Their Charter. 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 driving near the canal locks to-day was thrown from his buggy, suffering a broken leg and other serious injuries. He was con veyed down the canal in a bateau and taken to his home ou Battle Row, suffering terrible agony. The Katie arrived this afternoon bring ing a large cargo of freight and many pas 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 baby show to-da, which attracted many to Market Hall. ’ Hor e racing also chimed considerable patronage this afternoon. 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 Elson 43t ’ 8 Columbus Chapters. Columbus, Ga., Nov. 25. —The chain gang got one recruit from Muscogee Supe rior Court to-day. He was sentenced to four months for assault and battery. Nathan Davis was convicted o? keeping a gaming house, but is not yet sentenced. A recess was taken till Monday morning. The Guards’ library fair is still drawing large crowds. It has been decided to ex tend the time two days. It will take that time to dispose of the balance of the lottery tickets. The drawing comes off Saturday night. Pensacola's Fire Department. Pensacola, Fla., Nov. 25.—The inspec tion of the Pensacola Fire Department called forth eight companies. Their prac tice demonstrated that they were in a high state of efllc.ency. The insf>eetion was made by Commissioner VC. D. Chipley, President of the municipality. The son of T. E. Wells, of the firm of E. Saunders & Cos., sustained serious injuries to day by the fracture of his arm above the elbow. Tampa’s Clear Record. Tampa, Fla., Nov. 25.—There were no new cases of fever and uo deaths to-day. 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.

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 ern Caroliua railway, McClintock, of the Columbus and Western, and Kline, of the Southwestern railroad, went out on last night’s train. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Cheraw and Salisbury (S. C.) Railroad Company was held Thursday. The election of officers to serve the ensuing year resulted as follows: A. F. Ravenel, President; Di rectors: R. R. Bridgere, B. F. Newcomer, W. C. Coker, J. A. Leak, John Robinson, H. B. Plant, H. Walters, J. F. Divine, W. T. Walters. 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 ters, B. F. Newcomer, R. R. Bridgere, Thomas Frost, W. C. Coker, W. A. Corri gan, I. I. Lucas and H. D. Malloy. 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.

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. Atmore’s Mince Meat and English Plum Pudding at D. B. Lester’s. 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. 15!) Broughton street, Simon Mitchell.
