2 RELATED TO THE LEPERS. KINSPEOPLE OP THE MIRANDAS FOUND IN FLORIDA. The Husband of the Diseased Woman Former 1 ; Lived at St. Augustine— He Was Last Heard of in Brazil Af ter Having a Wandering Life— His Wife a Stranger to the Family. Jacksonville, Nov. 26.— Philadelphia and New York papers of Monday ami Tu<>s day last had very sensational articles re garding two leprosy eases at the former city. It seoms that a Mi's. Miranda and her daughter, who had been shopping with rela J fives in Philadelphia, left there on board a steamer for Brazil, their old home. While on board, and be fore the steamship had gone very far the ship’s doctor pronounced what Mrs. Miranda thought to be a skin disease genu ine leprosy. They were then heartlessly put off the steamer at Newport News, de spite the poor woman’s entreaties to be allowed to go to Brazil, where two other children are. The Morning News representative re ceived u hint that Mrs. Miranda’s husband was a Floridian and at once set alxmt trac ing it up, and the following facts have boon gleaned regarding it. Lyeurgus Miranda, the woman’s husband, was a native of St. Augustine. His grandfather, Diego Miranda, was very wealthy at one time and the family were unite prominent. Beside large possessions at St. Augustine, he ow ned the "Miranda Grant” in Alachua county. His son, Silvario Miranda, married a St. Augustine lady, and four sons were born, Delaphine, Lyeurgus, Will’am and Frank. The two latter are in Florida. Frank being in command of the steamer Everglade, on the St. John’s river. Readers of the Morn ing News will also recall the facts of the deadly assault made on Frank Miran da in Savannah in August, while acting as mate on the steamer Drvul Clark. A negro hit him on the head with a big roek, and he was confined to the hospital for some time, life almost being dispaired of at one period. Delaphine went to sea years ago, and his present whereabouts are unknown. Lyourgas was of an adventuresome and daring disposi tion, and always said he intended living in South America, much to his mother’s dis tress of mind. Some twenty or twentv-five veal's ago he left Jacksonville in an En glish bark for a two years’ cruise. He af ter ward entered the British naval service, and was heard from at long intervening pe riods, at various points, prov ing that his roving disposition was being indulged to the fullest extent. The last heard from him was some years ago when he was in Brazil and running a steamer on the Amazon. A rumor afterward told of his death there but it was never corroborated. His father was killed in St. Augustine several years ago by falling down stairs, and his mother also died later. The family have dispersed, and almost the memory of Ly. urgus was for gotten When the relatives were found and told of the distressing condition of Lycur giLs' wife and child, they were greatly sur prised and pained by her terrible situation. They knew nothing of his marriage, how ever. and had never heard of M.rs. Miranda before. Mrs. J. C. Thomas, a sister of Lyeurgus’ mother, who keeps a millinery' stei ein St. Augustine, was seen and the extracts from the Philadelphia and New York papers i-ead to her. She was horror struck at her unknown relative’s straits and her tears attested her deep emotion. She said her people had lost track of the two elder boys almost entirely and this was the first news she had heard for years. She was very indignant at the treatment Mrs. Miranda received, but she (Rd not know how she could aid them. Several others, relatives and friends of the family, were seep, and they ali ex pressed great commiseration and sympathy for Mrs. Miranda in her affliction. Several said they would write to friends in Phila delphia and ascertain if anything could be done to help them. The facts in the case excited quite astir among the older resi dents, who knew the boys. THE COMING CONVENTION. Posters arc on* calling for a convention of fruit and vegetable growers of this State, together with the fruit commission turns North, to be held in this city Dec. 1, 2 and 3, under the auspices of the Florida Orange Auction and Forwarding Company. The growers are requested to send on a large display of their fruits, so as to show the dealers the full resources of the State, the idea being to establish a home market for all Florida productions, selling everything inside the State rather than sending to the commission men North, and realize, at times, little or nothing for fruit or vegetables. Excursion rates have been arranged on ali the railroads, and it is hoped a large attendance will be had. The people throughout the State are be ginning to see their need of a State Board of Health. Senator Whiddeu, of DeSoto county, who opposed the bill in the last Legislature, now says he is convinced of his error. The Jacksonville business men are nearly a unit on the question, and probably there is the same feeling throughout the State. VN WHOLESOME FRUIT. Dr. J. C. Kenworthv, City Health Officer, had the captain of a Jamaica fruit schooner arraigned before the Mayor this morning for offering for sale unwholesome fruit. The cargo of the craft consisted of 1 .TOO bunches of bananas, fully one-third or more of which were more or less decayed. The stench in the hold was fearful. The Mayor held that as the quarantine officer at May port had passed the vessel he had no jurisdic tion. The doctor, however, compelled the Captain to haul off into the stream as soon’ the good fruit was sold, and the decayed bananas will be dumped into the ocean. Dr. Kenworthy was rather indignant over the release of the Captain, as he said a few car goes like that woidd lie sufficient to produce an epidemic, as the fruit was in such a de cayed state. There is some slight comment on the grand jury’s somewhat lengthy * Tease of life.” They have been in session now four weeks and five indictments have been presented. Judge Loton Jones, says that his court, the Criminal Court of Record, will convene ou Monday night, provided the Circuit Court is adjourned by that date, so he canjhave the court room. If not, he will postpone the opening one week. This term wiu be de voted to the hearing and trial of the tax license cases. AMENITIES OP JOURNALISM. Soma Gossip About the War Between the Sun and World. New York, Nov. 26.— New York has sel dom witnessed a more bitter journalistic fight than that which grew out of tlio re cent contest for the District Attorneyship, and which was peculiarly bitter between the Sun and the World. 1 believe it is in “Bleak House” that Dickons satirizes the American propensity to personal journal ism, but even his vivid imagination could hardly have conjured up any more vigorous terms than those which were exchanged with such prodigal freedom in the recent campaign, when Charles A. Dana und Joseph Pulitzer actually seemed to have each other by the throat and to be hissing and sputtering “Judas Iscariot,” “Ananias," “Hungry Joe” “Wandering Jew,” “Coward,” “Traitor,” “Poltroon.” and other endearing terms perhaps not altogether creditable to American, or for that matter, to Timbuctoo, journalism. The tiattle was, of course, directed by Charles A Dana und Joseph Pulitzer as generals-in-chief of the opposing forces, hut as a Napoloon, a Wellington or a Grant has his Mai-shal Massena, his charging Murat or his fiery Sherman, so these journalistic rbieftains had in one case Chester S. Lord, nf tne Sun, and CoL John Cockerill, of the World, as managing editors to carry out the orders and plunge into tne fire and smoke of the butte, destroying the bubble reputation from the cannon’s mouth A few months ago there was a report that Mr Dana had very courteously tendered Mr. Pulitzer the use of his private box at the Metropolitan Opera House on the occa sion of a particularly crowded house, but if this incident actually occurred it was some time previous to the election fight, and now there seems to be genuine personal feeling, r specially on one side, and the two editors hardly speak as they pass by. Still it need excite little surprise if there should prove to be less personal animosity than might be supposed utter the recent bitter duel of words. The rank and file of the two papers main tained pleasant relations all through the fight. Reporters are like soldiers on a picket line. It would be childish to quarrel with the pickets of the enemy simply because they are attached to different forces and be cause their chiefs are trying to checkmate each other on the field. Gen. Grant, like every other General, knew that his pickets fraternized with those of the enemy, and ho himself once received a very respectful salute from the Confederate guard after t.liev had ascertained who ho was from the Union pickets. When it comes to actual work, reporters will strain every nerve to beat each other, but in off hours, or when they are, us it were, merely on the picket line, like the soldiers who exchanged whisky and tobacco, each side leaving their arms against a tree, they fraternize, exchange compliments, good natured or derisive, drink together, and to the casual beholder, seem the liest of friends, as indeed they are in many instances. Editors iaugh over the shots they give and receive. In the days when the World was owned by Manton Marble, and the gifted Ivory Chamberlain was its chief edi torial writer, the paper often contained the fiercest invective against the Tribune as well as the most caustic personal criticism of Mr. Greeley, and yet Mr. Chamberlain and Mr. Greeley were personal friends. There was never a more pathetic la nit nt, never a more remarkable editorial, than that which Mr. Chamberlain wrote for the World on the death of Mr. Greeley, a wild outburst of grief, a touching revelation of self-reproach for not having more deeply sympathized with Mr. Greeley ou the death of his wife and in his other sore trials—the manly grief and teal's in print of one of the most schol arly of editors taking the reader into his confidence in the momentary disregard of editorial forms. And I believe it was the attention which this remarkable editorial attracted that led Mr. James Gordon Ben nett to retain Mr. Chamberlain for editorial duties on the Herald at a salary of SI,OOO a month. In the very hottest of the recent fight the opposing managing editoi-s of the Sun and the World would casually meet every morning at about 2:30, or just after the pa pel's had gone to press, and laugh over the progress of the contest. The Press Club, in Nassau street, is a great resort of newspaper men at about that hour. There in the cafe sat Col. Coekerill, a man of about the me dium height, with gray eyes, refined and handsome features, with character and abil ity very clearly depicted thereon, cool in temperament, but courteous in manner, a natural leader, who likes a foeman worthy of his steel. He is refreshing himself after a hard day’s work with a bottle of beer and some crackers and cheese. Near by sits Chester S. Lord, tall, soldierly-look ing, with closely cropped hair and an impe rial, clear blue eyes like his opponent, a man of cool temperament, keenly jvatching every move on the newspaper chess-board, ignoring it or checkmating it with a good natured laugh, and enjoying tho fight, huge ly. He is sipping a single glass of gin and milk and partaking of a chop, and in the meantime exchanging compliments with his adversary. Col. Coekerill says: “Well, Brother Lord, what is the latest thump?” referring to the possible contents of the forthcoming issue of the Sun, Or Mr. Lord says: “Well, Colonel, what do you think of our latest gun '” Then there is a pleasant interchange of opinions, with such remarks as: “That was a good ohe,” “I had to laugh at that,” 1 congratulate you on your splendid paper thismoridng,” “We are digging in the nest we can,” “See xvhat we shall have about you people to-morrow,” “I know it will be good,” “Our ammuni tion has not given out.” or similar remarks, attended with shouts of laughter. Tho two antagonists, after a pleasant conversation, separate and tho next dav their verbal thunders shake the political world of New York, anil the reader would suppose these two gentlemen would shoot each other at sight. It suggests the story of the green countryman involved in a law suit who was lost in ndmiration of his lawyer’s prowess with the tongue. “Gosh all firelocks!” beexclaimed, “didn’t rny lawyer give it to that other one. Why he took the hide right off him and hung it on a fence, but”—with a mystified air— “what knocked me into a heap was to see my lawyer go off arm in arm with the other one and take a drink together.” Simi larly it would have astonish?d some fierce partisans to see these lawyer-like journalists exchanging compliments not merely after the fight, but in the very midst of it. Chester S. Lord managed the campaign for the Sun with especial vigor from the morning that Mr. Dana came to him and said: “You had bettor turn on the bat teries.” They were promptly turned on. Mr. Dana, white-haired, but as vigorous mentally and phvsically as ever, would come out into the large room occupied by the managing editor, city editor and the reporters together, and, looking at Mr. Lord with a quizzical smile, would say: “Well, my boy, now are you getting on:” “Oh, we’re keeping our end up,” was the laughing reply. Chester S. Izard, who was in immediate command of the Sun forces, was born in Romulus, Seneca county, N. Y., where his father was a Presbyterian clergyman, after ward serving as a lighting chaplain in the civil war. Young Izard was graduated from Hamilton College, wrote for the Utica Herald in 1660, later became city editor of the Oswego Advertiser, and in I*B7l secured a position as n reporter on the Sun, from which he lias risen to his present post of managing editor, being at the time of his promotion only 150 years of age, the young est man in that positio i on any of the great metropolitan journals. Oscar Willoughby Riggs. Pasteur’s Cure in Russia. From the iAtndon Daily Ne we. The director of the Odessa Bacteriological station has favored me with the following notes of the last twelve months’ operations for the prevention of hydrophobia under the Pastcurian system, five hundred and twontv-one patients, some of whom came from Turkey, were inoculated, and thirteen died. The director divides the patients into threo groups, the better to explain the pro portion of fatal cases to the total number of patients dismissed as cured. In fifty-two cases the existence of rabies in the animals by which the patients were bitten was proved by trepanning. Of these patients one died. In twelve cases the ral/id condi tion of the animals was proved by the deaths of persons bitten by the same ani mals, but who were not brought to the sta tion. Of these one also died. There were 2bo cases in which the patients, all bitton by presumably rabid animals, hod manifested signs of hydrophobia. Of these seven died. Sixteen persons were inoculated as a pre ventive measure, never having been bitten by animals, rabid or healthy. Dr. Gaina lea, the director of the Odessa station, and an enthusiastic disciple of M. Pasteur, has been inoculated threo times, once in Paris and twice in Odessa, not for rabid bites, but, as he says, simply to give confidence to others. _ _ “Mister would you like to do a little suthin’ in the cause of sciences” “What science?” Terlitical economy.” “What can I do?” “I sjtose you haveheerd this discussion ’bout whether a man can live on 50c. a week?” "Yes.” “Wall, if you want ter encourage science, yon Jest let me nave 50c., aud I'll make the experi ment fur a week. ’ '—Chicago Sena.

Washington, Nov. 27.—Mr. Carlisle went over to New York with his son to night on private business. He will return in a day or two. Mr. Randall lias been here since Wednesday last, but he has not called on either the President or Mr. Carlisle, nor has he communicated to them in any way his intentions respecting tariff legislation. To his friends he says that the tariff must not be and will not be disturbed in the coming Congress. His plan of revenue reduction is to abolish the tobacco taxes and rejieal the sugar duties. SUICIDE OF A YOUTH. The Lose of Three Situations Believed to Have Caused It. Charleston, S. C., Nov. 27.—A sensa tion was caused here to-day by the suicide of a youth named C. G. Erchman, aged about 16 years, who was found dead in bed, poisoned by strychnine. Young Erch man was a son of a prominent druggist here and was well known. He had lost three sit uations recently, it is supposed bv reason < f his quick terri[>er, anti the theory is that the loss of these situations caused him to take his own life. He was at the theatre last night, and must have taken the deadly drug on his return home. He was not addicted to drinking, nor was he accused of dishon esty. CHARLESTON’S DAY’S DOINGS. What is Going On in South Carolina’s Chief City. Gov. Richardson is to deliver the address at the opening of the Dragoons’ Fair. The beautiful new home of Mr. Henry Frost, on the South Battery, received the finishing touches Saturday, and is now one of the most ornamental buildings in that part of the city. The congregation of the Citadel Square Baptist Church has put its appreciation of the services of its pastor, the Rev. C. A. Stakely, ui>on record in a most substantial manner. This recognition of merit has taken the substantial form of an exceeding ly hundsome gift, or rather a number of gifts, in the shape of a magnificent silvrr service, whicli was presented to Mr. Stakely on behalf of the congregation Saturday afternoon. An ingenious Charleston mechanic, has patented anew motive power, which promises to make a stir in the world of mechanics. The in ventor claims that it can be attached to any kind of shafting, and that its power can be so graduated that it can be employed in running any kind of machinery, however simple or complex. The invention consists of a double crank shaft, operated by the vi bration of a long lever. Two short levers are attached to the long lever near the end and pivot to the cranks in opposite direc tions. The long lever swings on a ring directly around the crank shaft, attached to the frame, on both sides of the cranks. The short levers connect at one end with the cranks and at the other with the long lever working directly under it, so that with a push from the long lever both the sh irt levers push in opposite direc tions and revolve the crank, which can he run at any rate of speed, fast or slow. The inventor also claims that his movement, “constructed so as to have two levers at tached to double cracks at right angles, will completely overcome the dead centre, and that, by vibrating both levers, the revolu tion is quartered. ” The principal part of the movement is in the leverage, regulating < lie power by whatever length is needed. The inventor claims that such a gear, run by electricity and applied to street cars, would not require more than half of the power now used, nor near so large a motor. The movement can be either backward or for ward, and works one way as well as the other. Weather Indications.

Try it and be convinced.—Boston Home Jour nal ON RAIL AND CRQ3STIE. , Local and General Gossip in Railway Circles. The firet spike on the Georgia Southern and Florida railroad was driven Friday. l’lie Brunswick and Western will put on to-day a second line of sleepers between Cincinnati and Jacksonville. The Louisville and Nashville is having from one to two thousand feet of new sid ings put in at every station in Alabama. T. S. Cooper has been fleeted Treasurer and General Accountant of the Amerieus, Preston and Lumpkin railroad to succeed T. N. Hawkes resigned. Col. J. W. Sloss, of Birmingham, Presi dent of the South and North Alabama Rail road Company, it to resign on account of ill health and a desire to retire from active business. The work of laying the new heavy steel rails along the Decatur and Montgomery division of the Louisville and Nashville road is progressing finely. It will probably be completed in a few montus. The new Alabama Great Southern Rail way shops that are being built in Birming ham will fcethe largest in Alabama, with the exception of the Louisville and Nash ville’s. The mainshop will be 280 feet long, and will have asmoke tower 95 feet high. Such progress has been made on the Eutawville (S. C.) railroad that it is ex pected that the rails will have been laid across the Santee river bridge within the next three months. The five piers of the bridge have just been completed, the struc ture being regarded by railroad authorities as strong and substantial. The character of the work is similar to that on the railway bridge across the Savannah river at Augus ta and Savannah. The railroad earnings in South Carolina for September show an extraordinary in crease over the corresponding period of last year. The increase .varies from 5 to 200 per cent. Only one road tailed to show an increase in earnings. The net increase in 'earnings was $170,000, and tho net,per cent, increase 33 Uj per cent. Increase in passenger earnings, $16,350; increase in freight earnings, $161,435; in crease in tonnage, 62,543 tons. This is the best showing ever made in one month by the roads in that State. General Freight and Passenger Agent McDuffie of the Brunswick and Western railroad asks the Morning News to correct toe rumor that there is an impending breach between the Central and the Brunswick and Western railroad and the Savannah, Florida and Western people. The rumor started in Florida some time ago. and was in vestigated by the Morning News at the time without finding any foundation for it. Mr. McDuffie says that the relations be tween the Savannah, Florida and Western and the Brunswick and Western are per fectly harmonious. The celebrated injunction of the minority stockholders of the Northeastern railroad to prevent the Richmond and Danvillo from giving away twenty-one miles of that road to W. B. Thomas and associates was ar gued before the Supreme Court Fri day. The argument was conducted by Messrs. T. \V. Rucker, E. K. Lumpkin and IV. B. Burnett, of Athens, and J. H. Lumpkin of Atlanta, in behalf of the minority stockholders, by ex- Senator Pope Barrow for the Northeastern, by Hon. H. H. Carlton for W. B. Thomas, and by A. J. Cobb, for the city of Athens. The decision has not been given, but it is thought the injunction will be sustained. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Northwestern Railroad Com pany was held in Charleston Friday. The grass receipts of the company during the year were $554,252 91; operating ex penses, $394,419 25; total net revenue from the road, $159,833 60; ratio of expenses to receipts 71 16-100 per cent. During the past year the road lias moved 101,162 bales of cotton and 73,498 barrels of naval stores, as against 123,307 hales of cotton and 66,203 barrels of naval stores during the preceding year. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, A. F. Ravenol; dire, tors, R. R. Bridgers, W. T. Walters, H. B. Plant. B. F. New comer, C. O. Witte, Henry Walters. In con sequence of the large expenditures which are contemplated for the further improve ment of the road no dividend has been de clared on the capital stock. No action was taken in regard to the proposition to lease the road to the Wilmington and Weldon railroad, which was started last summer, and it is possible that the negotiations liaev elided as suddenly as they began.
