scholar attending Friendship Congrega
tional church. The orgafi used there was a
small one. and in company with a friend he
hauled it away on a dray one night and
secreted it in a low dive. Later he found a
purchaser and sold it for about one-third its
value. The instrument was sold and shipped

GAILOB WOULD ACCEPT.
If Elected a Becond Time He Would
Not Refuse the Bishopric.
Atlanta, Ga., June 18.—Alluding to
Rev. Gailor, a Nashville dispatch received
in Atlanta says: “To some friends here,
when asked about bis intention if he should
be elected a second time, he said publicly:
‘I would not dare to refuse a second call
from the diocese of Georgia. I do not be
lieve, however, that they will elect me.
They understood my motives too well to
again tempt me to leave Sewanee.’ Dr.
Gailor believes that in refusing a second
call to Georgia he would be placing himself
in opposition to clerical work for a secular
calling

ROW OF THE ALLIANCEMBN.
Editor Burgess Again Goes for the
Opposition In the Order.
Atlanta, Ga., June 18.—W. H. Burgess,
editor of the Alliance Monthly, who, with
State Secretary Burk, has several times
taken occasion to express his views concern
ing the Harry and Larry ring in no uncer
tain terms, furnishes the press with the fol
lowing card, which explains itself, if any
thing ever did: “The Constitution says that
charges are to be preferred against Burk
and his right band man, Burgess. In this,
like a great many other things, the
Constitution got things mixed. The
tacts are these: Home time ago I preferred
chargee against H. C. Brown. They were
chargee against Mr. Brown for lying. The
president of our local alliance ruled that
Mr. Brown was not a member of our lodge,
and, of course, I had to withdraw my
charges. As soon as it is decided that Mr.
Brown is a member of the alliance to which
I belong the charges shall be renewed, with
an abundance of evidence to establish the
charges. There may be a sensation, but the
charges will come from the other side.”

LABOR AND THE FAIR.
The Government Asked to Recognize
the Eight Hour Law.
Chicago, Juue 19. —The joint commit
tee of the trades unions of this city have
decided to send a letter to President Harrison
asking that in all work done by the federal
government in connection with the world's
fair the eight hour law be recognized, all
disputes settled by arbitration and not less
than the recognized minimum scales of
wages for the various trades recognized in
this city be paid.
a letter to congress.
Another letter has been ordered sent to
Samuel Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, asking him not to take
any action on the request from the labor
oougress branch of the world’s fair auxiliary
for assistance in organizing the world’s fair
labor congress in oonnection with the fair
until the committee can furnish him a re
port of labor’s unsuccessful efforts with the
local directory in behalf of a minimum
scale of wages.
WORKMEN WARNED NOT TO FLOCK IN.
A circular has also been is-ued to the
workingmen of America and Europe warn
ing them not to come to Chicago in the ex
pectation of getting plenty of work and
higher wages in connection with the con
struction of the world’s fair building. It
points out that the buildings are all to be
constructed within eighteen moDths and
that wages are likely to be lower instead of
higher because of the surplus of labor
already here.

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, JUNE 19, 1891.
HUNG ON TO THE POLICY.
AN ATLANTA INSURANCES AGENT
IN A BAD LIGHT.
The Paper Bent to Him to Make an
Entry on it—ln the Meantime the
Budding Covered by It Burned—A
Jury Decides in Favor of the Plain
tiff.
Atlanta, Ga., June 18. —L. E. Gwinn
today obtained a verdict against the
Williamsburg City Fire Insurance com
pany and \Y. W. Haskell, its agent, under
circumstances which seriously reflect upon
the agent. Gwion’s store was badly dam
aged by fire some time ago. On lookiug over
his papers he missed one of his insurance
policies, but remembering that it had been
turned over to Haskell that an entry might
be made upon it, be called on the agent to
produce the document. The latter denied
knowing anything about the policy, and re
peated the denial when Mr. Gwinn, return
ing, produced the check for the premium
money paid upon it and renewed his demad.
On the trial evidence was produced, showing
that the policy had been sent to Haskell to
have the entry made upon it and that it
was seen in his hands after the fire. It was
also stated on oath that Haskell remarked:
“ him, he set the house afire, and we’ll
save this much for the Williamsburg city,”
chucking the policy into the safe as he
spoke.
FBENOBMBN ON TOAST,
Africans Kill, Boast and Fat M. Cram
pel’s Expedition.
Paris, June 1L —The natives of Matonga
have massacred, roasted and devoured the
French expedition from Loango under M.
Crampel. This expedition was one of a
trio, the other two being German and En
glish, bound for Lake Tchad, which lies on
the southern border of the Saraha,
considerably to the east of the
Lower Niger, and between it and
the great bend of the Kongo lies the
most extensive stretoh of unexplored coun
try in Africa. Denham and Claderton,
descending upon it from the north, dis
covered the great lake in 1823. More than
a quarter of a century later the great En
glish expedition, under Richardson, Barth
and Overweg penetrated into the region of
the Tchad, and in 1852 Overweg died on the
shores of the lake. Richardson also suc
cumbed, while their successors, Vogel rnd
Bearmann, met with violent deaths. Later
explorers were more fortunate. Rohlfs
reaohed the lake safely in 1865-’O7, and
Nachtigal in 1871-’72.
THE ILL-STARRED EXPEDITION.
Lake Tchad is about 2,000 miles due east
of the French possessions in Senegal, but
from the French possessions in Loango, just
to the north of the Kongo, it is distant
about 1.200 miles only in a northeast direc
tion. The French expeditions have there
fore made Loango their starting point. The
large expedition under M. Paul Crampel,
which has come to grief, started out from
Loango about a year ago. M. Crampel
ascended the Mobangi, the largest tributary
of the Kongo, into which it empties just
below the equator, with the intention of
reaching the most northern point in its
course. He was then to leave the river and
push in a northwest direction, over a dis
tance of 700 miles, tnrough the unexplored
territory between the Mobangi and' Lake
Tchad.
Until the news of the disaster to the
Crampel expedition was received to-day,
nothing had been heard from the party for
months past. It was supposed, however, to
be far on its way to Lake Tchad, and if
Crampel had been favored by fortune he
would have been able to place many tribes
in the unknown country in the basis of
Shari and on the outskirts of Bagirmi under
the protection of France.
MOKE FOOD FOR THE SAVAGES.
In December last, the committee on
French Africa was formed in Paris, for the
purpose of promoting exploration and
French trade in the interior of Africa.
Within amontn the committee had per
fected its plans, and the leaders of anew
expedition were on their way to Africa. It
was believed that the work of Crampel
would be robbed of half its value unless a
second large expedition was seut to estab
lish posts among the tribes with whom ho
was endeavoring to make treaties. The
new expedition is under the command of M.
Jean Dybowski, a lecturer at the Agri
cultural College of Grignon.
Stopping at Senegal, where forty-two
Senegalese soldiers, armed with repeatiug
ribes, were engaged as an escort, M. Dybow
ski and his four white companions sailed
south to Loango, where they arrived about
May 20. There they expected to hire a
large number of carriers, and were then to
maroh overland to Stanley Pool, where, fol
lowing in Crampel’s footsteps, they are to
embark on Frenoh vessels and steam up the
Kongo and Mobangi to Crampel's furthest
camping place on that river. Then they
will start overland toward Lake Tchad, in
the footsteps of the unfortunate Crampel.
Although the Dybowski expedition is much
better equipped in every respect than that
under Crampel, it is probably not sufficient
ly formidable to escape the fate that has
befallen its forerunner.
A SUBTILE POISON. •
What Ptomaine Is and the Foods 1*
Lurks in.
From the A r ew Orleans Picayune.
Three recent cases of poisoning by some
mysterious agent have called publio atten
tion to a subtile and most virulent form of
poison but reoently discovered by the medi
cal profession. “Ptomaine” is tbe name
given to this poisonous agent, which is even
at present but little known. Ptomaines, ac
cording to accepted theory, are alkaloids
generated during decay, and closely resem
ble tbe vegetable alkaloids, but owe their
origin to the putrefaction of animal matter.
While some ptomaines are very poison
ous, others are admirable antidotes to
known poisons. They are usually produced
in substances which, after brief exposure,
have been shut away from the air, as in ail
kinds of canned goods, or, more properly,
tinned foods; in sausages, the skins of
which keep the air out; in the viscera and
in buried corpses. There is no subject
in toxicology, or the science of poisons and
poisoning, which is just now of so much in
terest to professional men.
It has been scarcely ten years since the at
tention of toxioologista was attracted to
ptomaines. Yet the researches of Selmi,
who discovered and named ptomaines,
throw a curious light upon the obscurest
pages of the history of poisoning, those
which relate to the mysterious and fascinat
ing exploits of the Italian poisoners of the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It Is
now believed, indeed, that the ptomaines
figured potently in their noxious prepara
tions; because in Italy, according to tradi
tion, the famous and deadly acquett% di
Ferugia was a secret compound, prepared
by rubbing white arsenic into the flesh of a
pig and collecting the liquid which dropped
from the flesh.
HUMAN BRAIN IN A RABBIT.
Test to Discover Whether Hydropho
bia is an Actual Disease.
New York, June 14.—1n Dr. Loomis’
aboratory, No. 412 East Twenty-sixth
street, is a rabbit, and to-morrow a part of
the brain of Lawyer Richard S. Bartine,
who died at Asbury Park of hydrophobia,
will be injected through an incision to be
made in the rabbit's skull to a point between
the tough aud tender coverings of the brain,
and then the hole in the skull will be
closed up. Dr. Francis A. Abbott, Jr., pro
cured the bit of brain tissue, by which he
proposes to demonstrate whether hydropho
bia is a disease cr simply a subjective ail
ment. Dr. Abbott said today that he
would have no report to make on tne ex
periment until the first meeting of the
Academy of Medioine, in October.
SUBMARINE CA3LBB PULLED UP.
Queer Fishing W ith Propeller Screws
and Vessel Anchors.
Herbert L. Webb in Electrical Enoineer.
Submarine cables laid in shallow waters
are often exposed to greater risks and
rougher treatment than the great ocean
cables, which sometimes cost their owners
a small fortune in repair*. Not long ago
an ocean going steamship. In leaving her
dock at Jersey City, plowed up the soft
bottom with her powerful propeller, and
secured a costly and valuable catch
tn the shape of about a dozen Bub
marine cables, which enmeshed them
selves in the blades of the pro
peller so effectively that all the cables were
torn asunder and the ship bad to go into dry
dock to clear ber screw of the garlands of
iron, hemp and Kerite with which it had
become embellished—not to say embar
rassed. The learned judge who presided
over the argument as to whether the tele
graph compauy, which owned the cables, or
the steamship company, which owned tho
inquisitive vessel, was the aggrieved party,
decided in favor of the latter, holding that
a harbor is to be kept free for navigation
and that a steamer ts entitled to plow
through mud as well as water, cables or no
cables. If the cablos were thought to be
secure because they were lodged in two feet
of silt, why so much the worse for the
cables, or rather for their owners.
According to the learned juc’ge, ocean
steamers possess the right of w y through
the silt, even down to hard rock, and the
waters of a harbor for purposes of naviga
tion have no “bottom." This is cold com
fort for owners of submarine cables in har
bors, but by way of adding insult to injury
the very practical suggestion was made
that cables might be laid m a species of
submarine trench, and thus be kept out of
harm’s way when ccean steamers (or others)
find it necessary to "take the ground."
It is quite conceivable that the powerful
machinery of an ocean steamer should make
light work of gathering up and rending
into fragments a dozen or so of submarine
cables, but that a river tug should take to
the same game and twist some huudrei feet
or so of heavily-armored seven-conductor
cable Into a bunch of Gordian knots is a
little too much. The cable is the property
of the American Telephone and Tele
graph Company and serves to con
nect the pole line across Staten
Island with that running through New
Jersey, the cable crossing the Kills between
Linoleumville and Carteret. The tug
caught up the cable In the most approved
manner, according to the laws of harbor
navigation, snatched it from its quiet rest -
ing place in the Blit, and a stern battle be
tween the pugnacious propeller and the in
offensive and defenseless (though armored)
cable ensued. Needless to say the propeller
was victorious. The Iron armor resisted
vigorously, but it was never. intended to
withstand the attack of a river tug’s pro
peller, so. after a stout resistance, accom
panied by endless wrlthings and contortions,
it succumbed. The sea serpent itself
conld not have made a better
fight. If the cable was vanqnished,
Its enemy was also, at least for time, placed
hors de combat, for, so closely were pro
peller and cable interlocked in their deadly
feud,that the tugjhad to be brought to New
York and put in dry dock in order to separ
ate them. The snarl conrails about 100 feet
of cable, and bears strong evidence as to
construction. Few would believe that a
cable could resist long enough to be twisted
up into such hideous shapes instead of
breaking almost at once. The cable, wnich
is a seven conductor, Kerite make, has been
down for about five years and was found to
be in perfect condition when repairs wore
made. Indeed, the snarl testifies to that.
Not long ago Frank Stockton contributed
to one of the magazines a nonsensioal story,
in which a startling incident was narrated.
By a stroke of lightning a steamer bad
beon converted into an immense magnet,
and bad attracted to itself a submarine ca
ble, which held it fast until the cable ship
came to the rescue. This flight of fancy is
not altogether without excuse. There is a
story of an ocean steamship catching up a
piece of the cable in the North river, and
towing it all tbe way from New York to
Liverpool and back without discovering to
what mysterious cause the strange reduction
of speed on the round trip could be at
tributed. There is yet another story of a
Sound boat which fouled a submarine cable
in New York waters and towed a goodly
length of it to New Haven. There the
piece of cable wa cleared away, coiled
down on the dock, and subsequently sold
by the steamboat company to another
corporation whoss business it is to maintain
electrical communication between places.
That corporation put the cable into servioe,
aad (so the story goes) is using It at the
present time.
