MENINGITIS IN A COLLEGE.
All Exercises Suspended for Three
Weeks as a Precaution.
Baton Rouge, La., Feb. 3.—The follow
ing statement is made to tho public to
night: “At a conference between Gov.
loster, \\ illiam Garig, vice president of
the board of health, Col. J. W. Nicholson,
president of the faculty, and Dr. J. J.
Bu.anzton, surgeon of the faculty of the
university, it was deemed best in view of
the fact that three deaths from menin
gitis have occurred among the cadets
recently, to suspend all exer
isos until Feb. 26. The medical
ana university authorities unite in tho
belief that there is no occasion for fear,
put it is thought best to have a thorough
investigation conducted by competent ex
pert authorities so as to allay all appre
hension on the part of students and pa
trons. These are the first deaths oocur
-uie on the present grounds

DYNAMITE IN THE DISH.
Grewsome Crime of a Crazy Russian
Officer of Customs.
St. Petersburg Correspondent London Tele
graph.
A shocking tragedy of a most remark
ble character is, reported from Vilna.
Ivan Klakwitz, a customs officer of highly
respectable connection, became convinced
that his wife was in leaguewith a neigh
bor to aid’Uje latter in a lawsuit which
was pending against him. There was ap
parently no justification for the charge.
Tile lawsuit was triad tn the local courts
last week, and Klakwitz lost his case. Ho
addressed the judge in an excited manner,
and after making a rambling statement
implicating bis wife in an intrigue against
him, he left the i ourt room.
Later in the day, however, he professed
rggret to his vvi fo for his baseless insinua
tions and hasty temper, and asked his
neighbor and his wife to dine with him en
famillei Thinking it better that a con
ciliation should take plaoe, the neighbor
accepted, and a social evening was
arranged for. At dinner there were pres
ent Klak witz, bis wife, his two daughters,
aged 19 and 17 years respectively, a young
son, aged 11: his wife's mother, and his
neighbor and his wife.
The dmnfer passed off very pleasantly
until the third course, when Klakwitz
rose, and, ordering some more champagne
to b<? opened, said.that he wished ail
present to drink a toast to a special dish
he had prepared as a surprise for this
agreeable occasion. He then left the
room, and Within two minutes returned
bearing in his arms a large dish covered
with a dinner, cover, and . placing it
quickly on the table, ho lifted his glass
on high and snouted, ”To our next meet
ing.”
He had scarcely spoken these words
when a dynamite bpmb, which had been
hidden under the cover, exploded, and in
stantly killed every one in the room with
the exception of the servant girl and the
youngest daughter—the latter living,
however, only long enough to tell exactly
what had happened. The servant died
within two hours.
The unfortunate people who were the
victims of this insane frolic were sfcnpiy
blown to pieces, and the wails or the
room in which they were sitting were
partly blown out. The explosion was
heard for half a mile.
PRESIDENTIAL PARDONS.
Examples of Clemency Denied—Limi
tations of the Function.
Washirgtori Letter in Boston Transcript.
The most frequent forms of crime of
which pardons are asked are counterfeit
irig and stealing from the mails. Appeals
in such cases, however, usually fail. Mr.
Cleveland's indorsement on an applicant
recently made by a jail-bird convicted of
making false money reads simply: -‘De
nied. Oounterfeitingmust be suppressed.”
On the paper submitted inbehaifofa
man sentenced for stealing letters from
the mails the indorsement again reads:
-‘Denied. Offenses of this kind are far
too common, and the public good, in my
opinion, demands severity.” Using the
post for fraudulent purposes is a fault sel
dom pardoned. A mall robber's recent
petition fob releaso from prison is in
dorsed with the-words: “Denied. Such
crimes are becoming alarmingly fre
quent.” In another case unfavorably de.-
cided the indorsement reads: “Shoot
ing at revenue officers must be dis
couraged.”
There are now about 1,500 individuals,
sentenced for violations of the laws of
the United States, scattered about in
forty odd penitentiaries in various parts
of the country. The government sadly
needs more prisons. It owns at present
only five penal establishments—t.vo peni
tentiaries in Washington State and Utah,
and jails at Washington city, Portsmouih,
Ark., and Sitka, Alaska. Besides these
it rents a few jails in Indian Territory
and Oklahoma Territory. The institu
tions mentioned being insufficient. Uncle
Sain is obli ed to make use of those be
longing to the states. A bill was passed
by the last congress establishing three
federal prisons big enough to accommo
date 1,500 guests, but the necessary
clause appropriating money to build
them was omitted from the law by acci
dent.
The pardoning power of the President
is above congress, which cannot curtail it
in any manner, because it is a part of the
constitution. Mr. Cleveland can remit
fines and penalties imposed under the
revenue laws. At the same time he can
not cause the amount of a fine to be re
turned after it has been paid into the
treasury. He raav, and often does, miti
gate a sentence of court-martial; but he
cannot change the manner of the punish
ment proscribed. For example, he could
not compel an officerof the army or navy
to pay a fine instead of undergoing sus
pension from rank. He can pardon an
offender before he is sentenced, or even
before conviction; but that is not often
done.
Etiquette has its place in the matter of
pardons. On one occasion Gen. Arthur
referred an application to his Secretary
oi War. The latter appealed for counsel
to Attorney General Brewster. But Mr.
Brewster refused to give it, because to do
so would be merely to advise the secre
tary as to what advice he should give to
tue President. Governors of territories
cau grant reprieves, but they can only
pardon with the approval of the chief ex
ecutive. A governing decision in the de
partment of justice is to the effect that
any district attorney may assure a par
don to a counterieiter who betrays his
accomplices and gives up his plates or
molds, together with all imitated paper
or coin iu his possession. In Massachu
setts a picturesque custom holds, one con
vict being released from prison by the
governor of the state every Thanksgiving
di une of the most notable pardons granted
by Mr. Cleveland during his former term
was that to Cyril T. Benedict, who had
charge of tue Adams Express Company's
office in the treasury here. He stole sev
oral thousand dollars. Ho was prose
cuted, sentenced, and served one year in
prison Then he was released, at the so
licitation of the company whom be had
robbed. The latter has since employed
him in another capacity. The fact thut
res poctable employment awaits a convict
on his release has some weight in obtain
ing his pardon.

JUST THE GHOST OF A TOWN.
- - , •
Fine Buildings, Graded, and Side
walked Streets and Not Ons Resi
dent to Break the Silence.
From the New York World.
Neche, N. D., Jan. 27 —A party of
archaeologists, just returned here from
the northeast corner of the state, tell a
curious story of the abandoned city of
West Lynne. The city is deserted, going
to decay; no traffic goes on in its streets
cr business in its stores. No homes are
in the dwellings. The streets are graded
and sidewaiked, and trees, shrubbery
and flowers are in the yards surrounding
the residences, but all is silence and
loneliness.
West Lynne Emerson, just
across the Manitoba line from St. Vin
cent. There, on two sidis of the Red
river, and within an area of four square
miles, are four towns—Emerson, West
Lynne, Wiuston and Pembina. West
Lvnne Is. on the west bank of the river.
The history of the place is one of the ro
mances of team building in tha boom
period.
When Winnipeg was the metropolis of
the northwest some schemers platted and
exploited a city on tho Red river at a
point where, they claimed, the great
Northwestern was to cross. Eastern
capitalists were becoming interested and
money was plenty. There was no sham
about the actual construction of that
town; jt was not another Arizona desert
farce, only in the minds and on the plats
of its projectors, but a substantial reality.
A man of Chicago, was
the agent. He sold lots at auction in
Chicago for #5,000 each. While he would
be selling a telegram would come notify
ing pf. the sale of a certain plat, and it
would be withdrawn. Then he would
sell ad oining lots at advanced prices.
Meantime the building was progres
sing. No hoard shanties, sod walls or
canvas shells, but handsome structures of
brick or lumber, thoroughly finished in
approved style. Aud to-day the town is
a handsome but useless monument to the
credulity of some and the hardihood of
others. From the day when the Carpen
ters left the buildings not a store had
been opened, not a dwelling occupied.
The party drove over the silent streets,
past handsome blocks of brick stories.
2-stories high with plate glass windows
and ornate facades, but all were tenant
less. There were residences in the town
which t ost #5,000, tastful and spacious,
indicating the people of refinement must
at some lime liave intended occupying
thorn. They are scattered in clusters on
tbi? or that addition, and surrounded
with trees and shrubbery, now grown
rank. The fences are falling to pieces
and the grass and weeds encroach on the
pavements and approaches. Tho town
is capable of holding a population of 20,-
000 people.
Across the Red river is a steel bridge,
built for railroad and wagon traffic, on
which no train or engine has ever rolled,
and probably never will. The wagon
track is used. The structure must have
cost #200,000, as there is a great deal of
piling and trestiework in the approaches.
A short time, ago a citi/cn of st. Vin
cent received a letter from a Louisvillo
(Ky.) man inquiring what property in
West Lynn was worth He said ho rep
resented the syndicate which had pur
chased most of it, and the investors
thought they had held it long enough
to sell and make a good thing, as the rise
in value, through the natural growth of
the place, must have made a tidy sum.
Inquiry developed the fact that if' the
land was in one parcel, it might be worth
#5 an acre, but. scattered as it was, It was
worthless. 'The buildings and other im
provements did not count at ali, as they
were of no earthly use where they were.
The town stands in aflat, sandy stretch,
where the overflow is so copious and fre
quent that no crops can be planted with
safety.
Across the river in Emerson is the cus
tom house, aud the business of thy dis
trict is conducted there. Even in Emer
son there is a tenantless brick block three
stories in hight, 375 feet front by 140 deep
comprising fourteen spacious stores, with
French plate-glass fronts and all the ex
pensive accessories of a stylish business
block. Eighty-five thousand dollars was
the outlay for that.
A MAGNETIC MAN.
Remarkable Peculiarity of a Man Who
Lives In Maine.
From the Lewiston Journal.
In the vicinity of Bond Hill, on a cross
road in Lewiston, Me., lives an old man
named Pierre Hubert Giguere. His abode
is with a young French Canadian family
who knew him when all lived in Canada
on the St. Francis river. This man has a
history as well as some marked peculiar
ities.
Let him tell his own story.
Born in Canada, he early enlisted in the
English army, and was sent as lieutenant
to India, where he fought in several miuor
rebellions. It was always said of him that
while he was brave he had reasons to be,
for he was impregnable. This was no
doubt caused by the fact that he possessed
then, as he does now, a remarkable power
the like of which a man in the eastern
part ot the state is said to possess. Ho
seems to be a magnetic person, and can
allay pain b.v the laying on of h inds, viz.,
he' rubs gently the parts affected, and
pain ceases for some time. He does not
understand the cause of it, but uses it
freely upon every occasion when he can.
Once, he says, in India an officer high
up in the service was wounded by a rifle
ball, which lodged somewhere in tne
man’s abdomen. Peter offered to tell the
do tors where it was, but was decliued
the chance by the stiff-necked physi
cians, who believed no more in his jug
glery than in that of the Sepoy magi
cians.
“I can make one of you tell where the
ball is,” said Peter. “Go ahead,” said a
doctor, laughing.
Peter walked up to a young physician
who was half-inclined to believe him,
and placing his hand upon the lad’s head
said. “Steep.”
The young man sank into a chair and
slept. Peter stood over him for awhile
and then sad: “Tell the doctors where
the rifle ball is ”
“It is in the cavity of the Jabdomen,
where it has fallen from the ribs. Open
the abdomen and you will find it on the
leftside. None of the intestine are in
jured.”
“Am Ia sepahal?”
“}Jo, you are a magnetic person, with
mesmeric powers.”
Peter says that they found the ball as
indicated, and that afterthat his prestige
was great. It was in India that he
learned the fluent use of the English lan
guage.
Returning to Canada later in life he was
engaged on a whaling ship as harpooner
and made money there. He has been in
the United States for ten years, though
he came here from Fall River only last
summer. He is about 80 years old and
goes about but little. His power to cure
headaches, toothaches and all minor
kinds of aches and pains is simply won
derful. He cannot heal his own woes,
nor can he cure his own iljs. As yet his
fame as a magnetic healer has scarcely
gone beyond his own neighborhood and
the shadow of Bond Hill. Ho has no edu
cation, and cannot Head or write English,
but in bis knocks about the world he has
picked up considerable information.
"Gloriousl old fellow; so her father
said yes when you asked him?” “Yes.”
“How did you put the question?” “Asked
him if he had any objections tome."—

THE GUBERNATORIAL FIGHT.
Turner, of Georgia,’Looming Up as a
Strong Candidate.
From the New York Times.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 28.—There are strong
indications hero that Judge Turner, who
has represented the Eleventh Georgia
district in congress for twenty years, and
is one of the strongest members from the
south, will figure in the next guberna
torial race. Judge Turner is not a can
didate, but he has hosts of friends
throughout the state, and there are in
fluences which, will* it is believed, make
him a strong figure in that race. ,
As it stands, the two avowed candi
dates are Gen. Evans and Speaker Atkin
son, both pronouncod anti-administration
men. Atkinson, who was a candidate for
the Berlin consulate, has developed into
the most rabid anti Cleveland ffikn in the
state, and Gen. Evans is endeavoring to
vie with him on that line. Neither can
be said to have any strong personal fol
lowing, though Evans lias the old soldier
element and the Methodist ministers, one
of whom he is. strongly committed to his
support, as against AtkihsOn. Now. the
administration is strong in Georgia, und a
man of Turner's prominence and ability,
backed by the administration, . would, it
is believed, win in the three-cornered con
test.
Judge Turner has boen averse to go
ing into this contest, as he has his eyes
set on the chair now occupied by .Senator
Colquitt. His friends, knowing, this,
argue that to secure an election to the
gubcrnational chair will insure his elec
tion to the Senntg. They say that his
long service at Washington has naturally
kept him out of touch with the active
politicians of the younger school, and
that he will have little chance to succeed
Colquitt unless he does make somo such
move as the one they suggest. They be
lieve he would have practically u walk,
over as against Evans and Atkinson, but
point out that he must tight such men as
Colquitt, Northern Bacon, dußignon,
Hoke Smith, and perhaps Crisp in the
senatorial race. It is said to-night that a
letter was received from Washington yes
terday which says that Judge Turner has
taken the matter under consideration,
and, while he may not formally go into
the race, will let his friends go ahead
and work for him, which is all they ask.
THE BIGGEST WAR HISTORY.
Uncle Sam’a Story of the Great War
of the Southern Confederacy.
From the Philadelphia Record.
Washington, Jan. 27.—The biggest lit
erary work ever undertaken In America
is the military history now being pro
duced by Uncle Sam, undeg the title of
“War of the Rebellion, a Compilation of
the Official Records of Ihe Union and
Confederate Armies.” It is the largest
history ever published in the world. It
was begun just twenty years ago and will
be practically finished at the end of the
next fiscal year.
The whole work when completed will
embrace 120 huge royal octavo volumes of
of 1,000 pages each, and a gigantic atlas,
and the ultimate cost will be something
like $2,500,000. Each separate book in a
set is three inches thick and weighs from
fifty to sixty ounces, and the combined
weight of an entire set will be 520 pounds,
while the volumes, if set up in a row on a
single shelf of one’s library, would ex
tend a distance of thirty feet. 11.000
copies will be printed so that the edition
will ioms>rise 1,820.01X1 books of 1,000
printed pages, aggregating 1,820,000,000
pages of matter, exclusive of the atlas.
Cp to this date eighty-nine serial vol
umes have been published, and about f 1.-
800,000 has been spent in all branches of
the work, or about #20,000 per volume. The
printing and binding alone cost SIO,OOO
per volume, while the previous prepara-
tion of each volume for the printer's
hands cost an equal sum of $10,006.
A MOST COMPREHENSIVE BEKIE9.
Tho completed work will embrace four
series. The first deals in regular chrono
logical order with all the military opera
tions in the field; the second With official
correspondence and reports ot) both sides
relating to prisoners of war; the third
will cover matters not specially related to
tho subjects treated in tho first aud
socond, while the fourth will exhibit the
correspondence, orders, reports and re
turns of tho confederate authorities in tho
same line as those of the union officials
set forth in tho third series.
The method of treatment pursued
throughout is altogether impartial and
non-partisan. Nothing is printed in the
volumes except duly authenticated con
temporaneous records of the war, and
newspaper accounts and private reports
are rigidly excluded.
Tho story of this story of the war—the
most extraordinary history of the most
extraordinary war on record—is full of in
terest. The manner or its publication is,
in many respects, unique, and some of the
methods employed are peculiar to itself.
The first definite steps to execute the gi
gantic work were taken in 1874, when
congress passed a law providing the neces
sary means to enable the Secretary of
War to begin publication ; but some essen
tial preliminaries were gone through with
ten years before that date. Since then
the work has passed through many inter
esting stages; but it has all been so care
fully done as to be perfectly harmonious
and complete.
Every available source of first-hand in
formattoii has been ransacked, and con
tributions of official papers that do not
happen to be on file in the department are
being recovered from all parts of the
country. Many of these papers are auto
graph messages and reports written by
the officers in command of the various
armies and divisions engaged in tho
struggle, and altogether they form a
priceless collection.
MANNER OF DISTRIBUTION.
The distribution of the printed volume
as they come out is conducted on an un
usual plan, in accordance with a law of
the Forty-seventh congress passed in 1882.
Of the 11,000 copies ordered to be printed,
1.000 are set aside for the various execu
tive departments; 1,000 are reserved for
distribution by the Secretary of War
among army officers and contributors to
the work; 8,300 copies are being sent to
such libraries, posts, organizations and
individuals as were designated to receive
them by senators, representatives and
delegates of the Forty-seventh congress,
and the 700 copies over are for sale at the
war department (with a possible 500
more, owing to the death of original bene
fleiariea), at 10 per cent, above the bare
cost of printing, the proceeds to be cov
ered into the treasury. The books can be
had at the department by pur hase at
from 50 to 83 cents per volume, if bound in
black cloth, and $1 extra per volume if
bound in half Turkey. None cun be had
free on application. The eighty-nine
eerial parts already published can be got
