Shocking Condition of r Woman in Phlla<
clelpbia—.A Horrible Disease.
From the St. Louts Globe-Democrat.
New York, August 21.—The subject of
leprosy, the scourge of Scriptural times,
and its appearance in this country, and in
crease of late, has been widely discussed
by the medical and lay press, but np to
the present time detailed accounts of cases
have very rarely appeared. The follow
ing case, which in every particular is typ
ical of the disease, was seen bv a Glooe-
Democrat correspondent recently while on
a visit to Philadelphia, and it is under the
treatment of Dr. Van Harlegen, who has
treated a larger number of leprosy patients
than any other American physician, aud
has written much on the terrible disense.
Mrs. Phcrbe Moore, forty years of age,
was born in Pennsylvania of German pa
rent age. She had always enjoyed good
health. She was married at the age of
seventeen and lived for ten years with her
husband in Philadelphia, bearing him taro
children, both now living and healthy.
She went with her husband to Brazil four-
teen years ago and settled in Para. Her
husband, a few years after, became captain
of a steamer trading at the head waters of
the Amazon rive A ,
The patient made her first voyage up
the river three years ago. From this time
her tr ubles date. While on this voyage
she and her husband and officers of the
steamer took dinner on one occasion with
the natives in the great South American
forest. The strange and peculiar food
which was served made the whole party
sick, and the patient attributes her disease
tc tnis indiscretion.
About two weeks later her husband was
seized with the symptoms of berri- ierri,
and survived only three weeks, dying
while on their remrn trip down the river.
WhlJ was sick his w ife began to »b-
servJH® C/first symptoms of her present

-lir^le- i ro*' snjsyvwsrr, ‘
gion of the liver and kidneys, sevep- at
tacks of headache, accompanied with high
fever and swelling of the extremities.
Such were the first manifestations of the
disease. These symptoms lasted several
months after she returned to her home .in
Para.
Meauwhlk other symptom: i-vgrn !■:•
show themselves. Blotches ol a whitish
color appeared on the face, which disap
peared after awhile and were followed by
pigmented patches of a putplish color.
These patches soon appeared on every part
of the body. Attacks of rednesa like ery
sipelas were of frequent occurrence.
Festering sores appeared on the soles of
feet and in the palms, one at a time at
first, subsequently in crops, which soon
sprend to other parts of the body extend
ing over large surfaces. The toe nails
were also affected: one nail fell and was
reproduced five time*. The patient’s liair
>oon fell out and left her totally bald, In
addition to which the scalp was a mass of
running ulcers, left by the sores already
described.
Her face became disfigured and de
formed in a marked degree, so that when
she returned to thia country none of her
friends or relations recognized her.
When first seen by the doctor her con
dition was so marked and characteristic of
leprosy that he recognized the disease at a
{ ■lame. Her face presented the peculiar
eonine expression of the disease. There
were marked deposits in the eyebrows
which were thick and hehvy. The nose
waa thickened and broadened. The lips
were greatly increased in size and color
less. Indeed, wherever her skin was not
pigmented by the disease it wasof a pearly
white color. Beyond this she had scarce
ly a spot on her body that was not
■ore. She was given quinine and nux
vomica (strychnia). Under the use of
these medicines, and the most careful
hygiene, she improved slowly for a few
months, then gradually became worse, all
treatment began to fail, and in a few weeks
one orbit suppurated out, and the other
eye could only perceive the difference be
tween light and darkness. The voice soon
followed the sight. 8he can at present
neither sec, hear, smell or speak, and yet
seems strong. It is thought she may live
some time—perhaps over a year. She has
been isolated from all persons, anil ia only
seen bv the doctors and nutses. There is
no chance of her recovering. No treatment
has been discovered which can cope with
leprosy. _______

The Scenes that Followed the Shooting—A
Match Saves the Life of Mr. Mid*
dlebrooks—Something of.tlie
Malones and Tylers.
The Jasper vendetta was the theme of
conversation yesterday.
Since the railroad shortened the path
into Jasper, Macon haa felt a deeper inter
est in the affairs of that county, and when
the news of the awful tragedy of Thursday
was received a sympathy went out to the
good people of the county, and their deter
mination to put a stop to such lawless acta
waa applauded.
The Malones and Tylers have lived in
the county since the' earliest settlement.
They were hardworking and provident
people, honest in their dealings, and when
not crossed were peaceable. The Malones
especially are said to have been high-
tempered and high-strung, clever and hos
pitable, and true as steel to their friends.
It is related of one of them that many
years ago during a term of the Superior
Court, the presiding judge threatened to
send him to jail for contempt. He arose
and in a determined voice said: “No, yon
will not!” and that ended the matter.
Both families lived in the western portion
of the county, and were thought to be on
good terms with each other. A former cit
izen of Jasper said yesterday that if there
was any old feud between the families he
had.npver.heard of it.
FURTHER PARTICULARS
of the fray which has brought the fami
lies into prominence were received yester
day from the Teleoraph’s correspondents
st Monticello and Fiord la. These cor
roborate the account published yesterday
except as to the face slapping. It wss
Young Tvler who was struck instead of
Young Malone. One of our correspond
ents is of the opinion that whisky entered in
to the difficulty, as frequent visits were made
by some of the participants to a bar-room
on the opposite side of the river in Butts
county, the prohibition law befog in full
effect in Jasper.
As slated yesterday, the scene oi the

SROOllKO .1 MAI) DOG.
Olllcer llnrnsa B-ia |\ t hrilling Experience
of thitt Kind.
Atlanta, u '" ' ugust 24.—Patrolman
Barnes, oiut/t! dice force, had rather a
novel exp* riL’wv tins morningwhen called
upon to ahoot a mad dog.
A lady residing on Whitehall, near the
city limits, in a most excited manner tele
phoned to police headquarters, and asked
that an ofiicer-bc sent to her assistance at
once. She stated that there was a mad
dog in her yard, and that for safety the
various members of the family had to
climb trees. Officer Barnes was dispatched
to the scene on lmr-e!mck. When he
reached th; r*fnt designated, he found
he entire neighborhood in a cyclone ol
excitement I he officer was told that the
dog was iu bam, where it was engaged
tearing up verything hat was within its
reach, and that soon after going into the
barn, the ddorhad been dosed, to keep him
until the officer arrived. Patrolman
Barnes was cautioned to be careful and
not open the door too wide, or the dog
would attack him and tear him to Dieces.
The patrolman adopted the suggestion and
opened the door a few inches in the most
cautious manner. lie first inserted the
point of his pistol thronga the opening
and then took a peep at the inside of the
building sows to see the dog and fire upon
him without trusting any of his body on
the inside of the barn. He saw the dog
several yards apky, lying on the floor of
the building, apparently as if resting or
sleeping. Talftqg good aim he pulled the
trigger, aud then jerking his pistol back,
pulh d the door aud closed it. There was
no yelp or.other.sound indicating that the
dog had been hit.*
As soou as mb eicitement caused by the
first shot was over the door was opened
again Cautiously only for a few inches,
and the d irw^s seen lyiDg in the same
position as’ before. Another shot was
tired and the result, was the same. The
policeman that! ventured to open the door
wide. andrtltrh& doimr so found that the
dog was hpt vinly dead, but was stiff and

."A’CHtcd it to Mr. Malone. lAiif'"flhtiday
ir.xp parties met and in an altercation
which ensued Malone struck Tyler iu the
face.
THE BEGINNING OF THE END.
Early Thursday morning Sam Tyler,
uncle of Messrs. Ed. and Albert Tyler,
went to the association, and not finding his
nephews there, went to the home after
them, and aoon all three went to the
grounds in one buggy prepared for the fray.
In a short while they met the Malone
brothers, Walker and James, and in the
first quarrel Sam Tyler attempted to draw
his pistol, but it was wrenched from his
hand by James Malone. Friends imme
diately gathered around, and after' quiet
was restored and Malone returned the pis
tol. In a few minutes the quarrel wag re
newed and almost in an inslunt James fell
desd, pierced by two balls in the breast and
one in the head, and Ed. Tyler £ell by his
side with two balls through his bowels.
Then Sam and Albert Tyler started off to
run, firing aa they ran, and after running
about twenty paces Sam fell dead with two
bullet holes in his back.
HIM WATCH SAVED HIM.
Frank Middlebrooks,i a nephew of the
Malone brothers, had a large silver watch
in his left vest pocket. A pistol ball
struck the watch, tore jthejinside to frag
ments and bent the heavy case inside out,
the ball lodging in his pocket. This is the
second time Mr. Middlebrooks, who for
merly lived in Macon and was a clerk in
D. J. Baer’s store, has marvelously escaped
ith his life.
The number of shots fired was at first
put down at thirty. Our Floviila corre
spondent, who happened to be on the
ground at the time the tragedy occurred,
says it is the opinion of qute a number of
people that between fifty and one hundred
shots were fired. It is a marvel how the
people escaped being struck with the flying
bullets. ,
THE SCENES
on the grounds which followed the shoot
ing cannot be described. Consternation
seized the people, especially the women
and children, and they ran hither and
thither screaming ana wringing their
hands, while it was almost impossible for
them to approach the prostrate bodies so
formidabUi was the cordon of men around
them. Very few of the people had any
foreboding of the storm, so busy were they
with the proceedings of the association,
and whin the fusilade was ended they
could form no idea of what caused it or
who was hurt. The inquire “Who’s shot?”
uassed from lip to lip and yet no one could
answer.Finally the crowd that had gathered
around the dead men gave way that the
bodiea could be removed.
THE BODIES LAID OCT.
The first body takcp up was that of
James Malone. It was carried into the
church where but a few moments before,

'h Mimculoufi Escape from
Death.
Atlanta, August 25.—A little boy had
a most miraculous escape thia morning.
Mr. John L. Dorsey, an ex-member of
the fire drpartiLcui, lives cs Emmett
street, near Gray, in the rear of the Geor
gia Pacific shops.
There is a well in the back yard that is
on the line with a division fence, being
used by the family next door.
Mr. Dorsey has five children, among
whom is a seven-year-old lad named
Clandie. This morning Claudie attempted
to climb the division fence, and being near
the well, put one foot upon it He slipped,
lost his balance and fell headforemost into
the well, which is thirty feet deep and con
tains ten fret of water. The curbing of
the well ia brick and two buckets are used
to draw the water, one being at the bottom
when the accident occurred.
When falling he screamed loudly and
his cries were heard by Mrs. Fairy Lang,
who lived near by. Mrs. Lang rushed to
the well, and looking over saw nothing at
first, but in a few seconds she saw the boy’s
head come out of the water, and she cried
ont to him:
“Catch hold of the rope.”
The boy reached ont with one hand,
made a desperate grab, and caught the
rope. With wonderful presence of mind,
he took the rope in the other hand and
Btid j
“Now pull.”
Slowly the woman began to pull the boy
and the bucket to the surface. The child
weighed about sixty pounds and the bucket
of water about twenty. Mrs. Lang was not
strong, but with super-human strength she
continued inch by inch to bring the boy to
the top of the well. The lest pull was
given and the boy stood upon the ground,
pale and frightened, with blood dripping
from a wound on the head and a lacerated
hand hanging by hit aide.
In falling he had struck the back of his
head on the bucket at the' bottom of the
well, receiving a deep and ugly gash, and
hia hand had become mashed and cut in
some way.
Dr. W. A. Childers was sent for and he
dressed the wounda end stated that with
proper care any serious consequence could
be averted.
A little child ran over to the railroad
shops and told Mr. Dorsey of the accident.
He ran noun as uuickiy aa possible ami
found the boy able to tell the store him
self.
Mrs. Lang, whose heroic efforts saved
the boy, wes completely exhausted when
she saw the boy was safe, and came near
fainting white being led to her home.
The little boy's escape from death was
certainly miraculous.

Jacksonville, August 26.—[Special.]—
To-day has been a quiet day in rather a lone
some looking place. The little yellow flags are
floating out more numerously than ever and
approaching closer to the business portion
of the city. It is said that several cases have
occurred in the outskirte of the city, among
the refugees camping out, but nothing can
be learned about it to-night.
It la said that the government has taken
charge of the railroad between here and
Waycross and will run one train each way
daily between here and Camp Boulogne.
Passengers esn then go there and after ten
days go North. But most of our people pre-
fer the city to the terrors and discomforts of
the quarantine camp. One case, it is report
ed, will be brought in from there to-night.
THE FATIENT8.
Mrs. H. B. Bebee and daughter have
passed the critical stage of the disease, and
are now almost convalescent.
Dr. Solace Mitchell reports all of the pa-
tients at the Sand Hills hospital as getting

only two or three who are very sick. He
also reports that the work of building the
additions to the hospital is progressing very
slowly.

He Complains That the Full Reports Are
Not Given to the Press.
New Orleans, August 26.—The Times-
Democrat special from Jacksonville, Fla.,
uys: The board of health reported forth*
6 o’clock bulletin Friday evening eight new
eases of yellow fever. Several hours after-
warJs more new cue* were reported and the
tu!!ct!z ?*•"" *o the Washing
ton authorites wu fourteen new cases.
Among tboee reported on Friday were n Sis
ter of Charity at St. Luke’s hospital, L. M.
McArthur, Henry Williams, Andrews, a
prisoner at the city jail, Dr. R. 0. Wakefield,
R. O. Sigoalo, a six year old boy from East
Jacksonville, W. Eva Thornton 14 years old,
Csirns, little girl from Eut Jecksenvi le, a
daughter of Mrs. H. B. Bebee, who
wu reported the day previoue, and
George Ellis. Lack of confidence wu again
illustrated by the fact that u eoon u t ri-
(lay’s report wu given out a number of peo-
pie left the city, and yesterday many more
left. There waif talk yesterday morning of
suspicion! cases that were not reported. One
cue is that of a city oIBcial who hu been
confined at a prominent physician’s house for
several days, and no one is aUowed to see
him. Btill no report is made.
DOZENS OF SUCH CASES
are given reporter* and the feeling crested
thereby certainly does not tend to itllay the
panicky feeling of the people. They want
to know'the worst and be prepared for it,
hot certain onea in authority prefer to work
in the dark.
It would seem that Premdent Mu. hell ii
in favor ot giving the widtit publicity to all
sewi, but it seems that newspapers are not
held ill much eiteem by one or two other*.
If these concealed cs-n are yell, w fever,
then some one is eriniinilly responsible. If
not the public should know the exact facts
in the mailer, for concealment and loss of
confidence would create a panic that would
be very pernicious in its effect. One gentle
man was cruel enough to suggest as an ex
planation of the action in suppressing the
names of victims that u aristocracy were
catching it they did not like their names
mingled with the canaille, Tom, Dick end
Harry, and perhaps newspaper men.
Friday morning wu delightful, with a
cool breeze from the ocean, bnt the
sun was shining down rather too hotly for
the peace of those who were watching for a
daily crop of microbes. A special train
carried the representatives of the city and
other authorities to Orange Park Saturday
morning to meet the authorities of the
counties south of here to confer regarding
the quarantine. There wu a rumor yester
day that several cases of fever appeared at
the Boulogne quarantine camp.
A St. Augustine dispatch says that Ed
Sabin, a dry goods merchant of Jackson
ville, hu been at that place endeavoring to
seenre sufficient patronage to establish]
A DIRECT LINE OF STEAMBR8
from Charleston to Fernandina snd St. Au
gustine, and that the merchants heartily
indorsed the scheme, pruniiniug almost their
entire patronage. Mr. Sabin had also visited
Pa!nika, and the merchants there indorsed
the movement in a substantial manner. The
delay and annoyance caused by freights
coming via Palatka would be avoided, and at
present no Jacksonville freights are allowed
m Palatka or St. Augustine. It would nec
essarily be a great benefit to the St. Au
gustine trade. Mr. Sabin hu received the
asfurance from the steamship lines that the
steamers would be put on immediately, pro
vided they obtained a sufficient guarantee.
In two weeks SL Augustine would probably
be connected with Northern porta.
It is reported that ia carfull of Jack
sonville refugees wu turned back from
Waycross by the Georgia health authorities
and prevented from going to towns where
safe asylums were oflered. The people here
this evening are rather indignant overthe re
port u they think such action smacks of in
humanity. Dr. Neal Mitchell wu seen lost
night ana sold, regarding the rumored tuning
back of Jacksonville coaches: “I would
•ay that this board hu received no notifica
tion of such action, and I understood that
the advisability of establishing an absolute
quarantine wu considered on Friday. It
such restrictive measures were deemed nec
essary and adopted, the health authorities
of this city should have been Immediately
notified." The weather wu damp and cold
lut night, with prospects fair for a good
crop of new cases to-day.
REFUSING THE REFUGEES.
Trains on the S., F. anil W. Witt Not Take,
tile Refugees A way.
Jacksonville, Fla., Angust 6.- Great
commotion wu caused this evening by the
report that the Savannah, Florida and
Western railroad refused to take pusengen
from this point, even on through tickets to
Northern points, mIicio towns had invited
refugees from this city to go. On In
vestigation the report wu found to
be true, only a mall car leaving
to-day. One passenger was thrown
oil the train at La Villa junction, u the con
ductor said that he had orders not to allow a
single pusenger to Uav* an th* train. No
cxpri-x: ssrttt nor ary ml.er i.m-knee will he
taken. It cannot be ascertained here at ynt
who Is responsible for the tyrannical rule-
Not only are through passengers pro
hibited, but all persona intending to go
to the quarantine station at Bologne or camp
8t. Mare’s are refused passage. This wiB
kindle the blase here in Jacksonville u soon
u the people become fully cognizant of the
matter. A niua masting will probablv be
called in the morning.
BLAINE ON THE MESSAGE.
He Pleads the Cause of the Railroads and
New England Trade.
Portland, Mb., Angust 25.—Blaine ad- -
dressed another public meeting here to-day..
In the course of his speech he said.'
I did not happen lo have an opportunity
of reading the full text of President Cleve
land’s message on the fiaheriee subject until
thia morning, and, with all due respect to
the chief exeentive of the nation, I must uy
that, considering all the circumstances
it is the most extraordinary document
that ever wu lent from th* White
House to the cspitol. Here are the
main facta of the issue between
Canada or the United 8tates, or, perlisps, to
•peak more exactly, between Great Britain
and the United States, in respect to the fish
eries. It wu our belief, and still is, that
after the articles of the treaty of Wuhing-
ton relating to the fisheries hsd expired the
Cansdisn government behaved in sn nn-
neighborly, unseemly and unjust manner to
wards our fishermen, in refusing
them rights which they had
enjoyed by long prescription. In
order to bring the government of
the Dominion to a just appreciation of the
subject, Congreu authorized the President,
in the spring of 1887, to adopt, at it* discre
tion, a policy of suitable retaliation, direct
ing, among other things, that whenever and
so long u American vessels were deprived
of commercial privileges in the ports of
Canada, Canadian vessels should be de
prived of like privileges in the ports of
the United States. This, if I may
indulge in appropriate slang,, wu
a genuine tit-for-tat policy, in which
ihe punishment wu admirably fitted to the
crime. President Cleveland declined to
enforce the policy, and allow d outrage
after outrage upon our fishiug vessels to go
unredressed. He wu bent upon some form
of negotiation with England, even against the
expressed wish and will of the United States
Senate, nd in defiance of the large share
in the treaty-making power which the consti
tution assigns to the 8enate. Finally, without
the consent of the Senate, and practically
against it’s protest, the President organized
n commission to frame a treaty that should
settle all points of dispute. He thus gave
what wu never intended by the consiitn-
H«*ss a partisan aide to an inter*national die*
ciuslon*. It wu never designed by the
founders of onr government that intercourse
with foreign nations should be conducted by
Republicans or by Democrats, or by Whiga
or by Federal*. It should only be by
the nation u n whole. Why should the rail
ways of the United 8tates, that annually
transport fifty millions of Canadian goods in
transit, be deprived of their business and
endure large losses on account of a sudden
whim ef the Pruident? Why should transit
from Dstroit to Buffalo and New York over
both American and Canadian lines of rail be
suspended when it bu no relation whatever
to the fiaheriee question? Why should
the large traffic between Quebec
and Montreal, on the one band,
and Portland on the other, by wbieh Port
land becomes the winter port of Canada, be
summarily stopped at the eaprice of the
Pruident, because of his chagrin over the
course of sn independent, but, u he consid
ers, refractory Senate? Is it the design of
the President to make the fishing question
odious by embarrassing commer
cial relations and commercial
exchange along three thousand miles of
frontier, and to inflict upon American com
merce needless, vexatious and perilous con
fusion of trade? If Congress will give him
the enactments which he auks he will give
them retaliation until they ere, “Hold,
aaough.”
