RALLYING TO GLADSTONE.
THE MACON WEEKLY TELEGRAPH: TUESDAY, MAY 4, 188G.-TWELVE PAGES.
Public Sentiment Grow Ins In F.vor of
UU BUI.
Under date of London, April 27, Hon.
Thomas Power O'Connor, M. P., cables the
New York Star the following:
The home rule bill is going to pass the
second reading by a largo majority. It is
impossible to forecost what ntay happen
further on in the committee. But the sec
ond reading is safe, although the fight will
bo stubborn, and fruitful, possibly, in stir
ring episodes and exciting chances. Tho
number of Liberals who have decided to
vote against the second reading U now as
certained to be fifty. The estimated num
ber of ahtsentions is twenty. This leaves
a majority of fifty-eight for the second
reading-large enough to put a more hope
ful face upon the prospects of the commit-
tee stage.
The failure of Lord Uartington to carry a
vote of confidence in hit* own constituency
was a genuine surprise. A resolution of
confidence in Uartington, iuiplying no con*
fidence in Gladstone, was discussed by the
committee of bis lordship's association ’»**-
fere ho spoke at Rossendale yesterday, and
it was defeated. Acting upon their own de
liberate judgment, without the slightest
pressure from Gladstone, the majority
turned their backs upon their own political
leader, and declared against anything in the
remotest degree calculated to prejudice the
Premier.
A STRANGK AFFLICTION.
An Kntire Ship’*
Crew Gradually Become
lllind.
N*w Venn, April 27.—The hark Syringe,
of St. Johns, N. B., James Wright, skipper,
sailed from Brunswick, Ga., for Hamburg,
with a cargo of oil barrels about five months
ago. Her crew consisted of captain, two
mates, third officer, steward and eight sail
ors. They had not been long at soa when
all the officers, the steward and several of
the men were attacked violently with diarr-
braa. To this was added an itohing on the
soles of the feet and a numbness, which,
beginning at the feet, gradually crept up the
legs. Their sight was also affected, but not
sufficiently to interfere mntoriaUy with sail
ing tho Bbip. All these symptoms were
aggravated in proportion to the rank of the
sufferer. The captain and his brother, the
first made, were the sickest. The steward
and second mate came next, and then tho
third officer and the crew. The lost were
scarcely sick at all.
In dne course of time the Syringa arrived
at Hamburg, where the seoond mate was
discharged and a German takon in his stead.
After taking in a cargo of fertilizers, con
sisting of chlorides of potash and magnes
ium, Captain Wrigot set out for this city.
They had been at Bea but a short time when
all their former symptoms, which had dis
appeared while they were at Hamburg, again
manifested themselves, and this time in an

assert that the movement will assume unu
sual proportions when Gladstone takes tho
trouble to lift his voice in appeal to the
power that makes and unmakes ministries.
The resnlt of Hartington pilgrimage to his
rebelious constituency gives a foretasto of
what may be looked for by and by. if the
sition of the peers drives Gladstone to
upon the nation to rise against the
feudal lords.
In another direotion the popular will is
being manifested in n singularly effective
manner, l’eter Hylands, the Liberal men-
ber for Burnley, having turned against
Gladstone, 6,000 of his constitntonts visit
Gladstone's seat, Hawarden Castle, to ex
press confidence in the Premier ami mark
their sense of Byland's behavior. Theseand
similar signs, visible in various quarters,
show that an overwhelming majority of the
Liberal voters in the English constitnences
ore forming into lino behind Gladstone, in
readiness for tho coming fray; and that a
majority in Parliament will come to bis
support for the next stage of the contest.
The fate of the bill has always depended
upon the time servers. These men waited
to Bee bow the country would go before
committing themselves. Now they find
the constiluenoes, by ones and twos and
threes, pronouncing for Gladstone, they
have arrived at the conclusion that it has
becorno their duty to rally to Glad
stone's support and earn the grati
tude of the country by saving the bill.
Bright's letter exensing his non-attemlanco
at Hartinpton's meeting is unimportant. It
wiU cost Gladstone a single vote at most.
The frequency and Bright's attacks on the
Parnellites have created a widespread im-
iression that, on the subject of Irish legis-
alive .reform and in his hostility to
the Nationalist party, he is a monomaniac.
Bright, nevertheless, will not vote with the
Tories against the second the home rnlo
bill. The Karl of Derby's letter calls for
no comment. II fell flat. He ia no longer
of account in English politics and com
mands no following in either Houso. John
Bright’s son has promisej to vote for tho

tain Wright endeavored to ascertain the
cause of his mysterious malady.
He examined the food uml the cooking
utensils, bnt found nothing to which he
could attribute a poisonous character except
the tea. He was inclined to suspect that,
apparently, because thoso of the sick who
drank the strongest tea were the sickest.
He and his brother, who had the first steep-
ings, paid for the privilege of being sicker
than the steward, who had the second steep-
ings, while the crew, who had the third,
were comparatively unaffected. Before giv
ing up the tea altogether Captain Wright
resolved to try some experiments. lie had
two pet rabits on board, and, as they bad
eaten up all the potato parings and other
green things there were in the ship, ho de
termined to feed them on .tea loaves. One
didn't take kindly to this new diet, and re
fused to eat the tea lea res. The other did
eat and died in n few hours. Captain
Wright kept the other rabbit withont food
nntil it was willing to eat the tea leaves, and
when it did it also died quickly.
Tea was now tabooed, hnt, although they
gave up what seemed to bo the cause of
their trouble, the two Wrights, so far as
seeing wus concerned, grew worse instead of
better. A mist spread over their oyes and
blnrrcd their vision. They gradually be-
esme so blind that they conldn't take obser
vations or took thorn so badly that their
calculations were unreliable. As nobody
else on board knew anything of navigation
at all, the Syringa from this time forth was

HE HELD THE TORPEDO.
Olzak, N. Y., April 27.—Dell Iiankson
an oil well shooter, went to the new Kane
oil field du Saturday to torpedo tho Craig A
Cappcan well, which had just reached the
sand. He had jnst lowered a shell contain
ing twenty qnnrts of nitro-glycerine to the
depth of 100 feet in tbo well, whon ho dis
covered that the well was about to make a
flow. He knew that the force ot the
oil would carry tho torpedo out at the top,
and if it were thrown upward with tht
flow it wonld bo exploded in contact with a
derrick bam. If it escaped from the vol
ume of oil it would fall hack to the ground
und explode. In either case Branksou knew
that certain destruction awaited him and
Ihe property of his employers unless the
torpedo chuld be secured. With remarka
ble presence of mind he placed himself at
the month ot the well, and as the sholl
shot up on tho stream of oil he threw his
arm about it and held it.
Even then undue baste and lack of judg
ment might have proved fatal, bnt Usnkson
held the torpedo nntil the spirit of oil bad
ceased before he removed it from the well,
although he knew that only a few seconds
wonld elapse before the oil wonld be fol
lowed by a volume of gas and and a mass
of rocks from the depths. The instant the
oil ceased he lifted the shell from tho well
and walked carefully and steadily away,
carrying the torpedo in his arms. He
had scarcely turned his back when the
gas nnd rocks came ont of the well with
a rour and a rush. When all was over
Bankson replaced the torpedo in the well,
lowered it to the bottom and finished his

well shooters to be the most courageous in
the history of nitro-glycerine operations in
the oil regions—^work that necessitates the

to get his blindness cured. Dr. J. O. Tuna-
ley, whom he consulted, found the veins of
the Captain's eyes congested and tho nr-

brain mast also be congested, although
oven the visible symptoms were new to his
experience, and there was nothing to in
dicate the cause of the congestion and con
traction. The Captain conld bnt jnst seo
at the distance of eight feet an object which
eyes in an ordinary condition could dis

cumstances, and Captain Wright is now

Dr. Tansley, thinking with Capt Wrigb
that the tea leaves might be poisonous, took
a sample of them to Dr. Cyras Edson of tho
Health Department. An examination by
experts has shown the tea to be of very low
grade—the Nanki-and such as it is, it is
not even the best of its kind, as it consists
B rincipally of sweepings and spent leaves.
>r. Edson bos caretolly examined the eook-
iug arrangements and general domestic
economy of the Syringa, hnt has discovered
nothing to remove suspicion from the tea.
The teapot, for example, whilo an ordinary
tin affair, had nothing poisonous about it.

Near tho hotel where he stopped is a
fancy tobacconist. Torrance was n good
customer, smoking good cigars and baying
from three to n dozen aday. Some months
ago an enterprising cigarette making firm
of Richmond, Va., gave ont to the trade all
over tho oountry photographs of tho girls
employed in the faatory. Nome of tbese
yoang women are very pretty of faoe and
figure.
In the photographs they are represented
daintily rolilng cigarettes, with their sleevei
turned up, revealing thoir shapely arms.
One of those photos, that of a roguish,
black-eyed, raven-haired brunette, caught
the evo and fancy of the bachelor.
Uo haci never noticed the fsnoy pictures
in the place before, and seemed to care
little tor female charms. The tobaoooniat
was thcretoro surprised when old Torranco
asked him if the photo was ouly a fancy
rictare or if the original could bo found
n Richmond. The tobacco man told the
oigaritte-girl admirer that tho r
were alt represented to be likenesses of
roung women actually employed in the
'factory.
Day after day Torrance stood before tho
window of the cigar shop and feasted bis
eyes on tho pretty picture. Finally he
naked the eigar man whether ho would sell
it. The latter at once mode the love-siok
bachelor a present of the photograph, and
tho old man put it tenderly away in tho
left breast pocket of his overcoat nearest
his heart.
This was ahont last Christmas. A few
days latter Torrenoo disappeared. The to
bacconist wonderod and wondered where
his good onstomor had gone. Ho did not
show nji again until earl; in February, when
one morning ho stepped into the tobacoon-
let's, his round fsoe wreathed in smiles, and,
ns he pickod-ont a o'g ir from hia favorite
box, remarked;
“Well, I’ve fonnd her.
"Found who?" ejaculated the cigar dealer.
“Why, fonnd the original of the photo
graph.’’
Then Torranco told how he had visited
Riohmond and qaietly watched tho stream
of girls tlmt poured lrom the gates in the
evening. Was he rewarded by seeing thq
bmnetto of tho photo? Ho was; he saw her
twice in one spot Ho rubbed his eyes, but
there, sure enough, were two of them.
Mr. Torrance followed at a distance aa tho
fac simile brunettes proceeded to n little
house in the snlmrb. He stood in front of
tho houso for uwhile after they had entered.
Ono of them finally came out, ami although
it was dark he stepped up to hor and, asking
her pardon, said he was looking for the Isdy
whose photograph he showed her.
“That is my sister,” she said, with a laugh,
we are twins.”
8ho would have nothing more to say to
him then, and he left. Next day ho con
trived to socare an introduction, and then
learned that the young woman whoso pho
tograph he had was to he married the follow
ing week.
From the time be saw the twins, bow
ever, Torrance was in love with both of
them. The photograph would have done
for “ono as well as t’other,” he said, and he
proposed to the “other ono.” She had taken
a liking to him, and didn’t mind becoming
an old man's darling.
Torrence is not yet married, hnt has gone
to St. Louis to provide a home and arrange
everything nioely for settling down with
tho pretty little “other one” for life. They

Fmokl. Folsom's Und. Confirms tho Htory—
llow th. Wooing 1’roxresaeil,
A Boston special to the Philadelphia
Preim say.: "Yen, I am tho uncle of Mist
Frances K. Folsom, who, according to ru
mor, is to be mistress of the Whtto House,
.aid Mr. li. F. Harmon, the State street
flour merchant, to-day. “Although mnch
that is insconrate has been published about
tho matter, there is no donbttbat President
Cleveland will mary Miss Folsom. It wi
not onr intention to annonneo the engage
ment till sorno little time befero the wed
ding, hut unfortunately it waa made pnblio
by a breach of confidence on the part
friends in Buffalo.
"I have just boon writing a letter to Mias
Frankie,” he added, “and it is now ahont
time for her to be preparing to return home.
She has probably learned something about
the rumor, afloat, but I’waa juat writing
her that the cat is ont of tho bog, and waa
giring her a little of the gossip she may ex
pect to hear on her return home.”
In answer to queries, Mr. llarmoci said
that there is not s particle ot tnth in the
statement that Mist Folsom’s expenses
abroad are paid by tho President. At last
accounts she was enjoying tho best of
health, and the prostration of hor mother
by fever at Genoa was the only drawback
to her European visit “Miss Folsom’s ao-
qnaintunce with the President forms a
ruin (ratio story," continued Mr. Harmon.
“Her X«tU)«r Wd» ono of Mr. Cleveland's
warmest friends. At » very early age
Frankie gave promise of gfefit beauty. As
a child sns was loved by evefy pn« who
knew her. When .csrccly kneo-higit i“®
was particularly fond of Unde Clove, a*
she called him, and in after years held him
as ono of her dearest friends and advisors.
Had her father lived 1 have no donbt he
wonld have been gratified at the marriage.
Mr. Cleveland was always very friendly
toward Miss Folsom from the time when
■he was a child.
“Abort three years ago hi* attentions be
gan to assume a more actions aspect. Al
though very reserved in manner, it became
evident that he now cared much more for
tha woman than he ever bad for the child.
When Mias Folsom and mother visited the
White House hut year there waa considera
ble talk ahont a possible engagement, but I
doubt it it was made then. You will have
to travel many miles to find a lady of greater
beauty and accomplishments than Miss Fol
som. She has sound common sense, is en
tirely unassuming in manner, possesses
none of the conceit snd hauteur of which
so many young ladies are victrm i, snd is in
every way worthy of the position she will
occupy.”
