REASONABLE RATES. Pvogsrss of llic Country Town. An eastern man traveling west warn had occasion not long since to stop over night in Springfield, O. Springfield has a population not far from 32,000. To the man who thinks there is no city in this country but New York. Chicago or Bos¬ ton, as the case may lie, Springfield is of course a mere rustic village. The stranger stepped into the street from his hotel in the evening. What he did or did not expect to see he does not say. But what ho did see was a city as brilliantly lighted as the finest streets of New York itself. An “opera house.’ 1 so called, was near by. He entered and found it as elegant and splendidly appointed as many of the best eastern theaters. One of the most popular plays of the win¬ ter in New York wafe at that time being performed upon its boards in a manner which would MUve been credit¬ able to the theaters in New York. The eastern man opened wide his eyes in astonishment. How much had New York to offer in the wpv of city advan¬ tages that this country town out in Ohio did not posses^ He has not answered the question satisfactorily to himself yet. Springfield is only a type of the grand young towns throughout the country. While New York was lighting over the bill for electric street cars many small cities had already for years possessed a splendid system of rapid trails'' of this kind. Being newly laid out, their streets are not narrow, crooked and dingy, like the older thoroughfares of eastern cities, but are broad, clean and beautiful. Every such town has its free public library. Where are there such in the older cities? Invention and modern progress have steadily pressed forward to the aid of the country town. Villago improve¬ ment societies are making it u joy forever. Roads are becoming solid and beautiful, noble trees line the streets of the country town, tiny parks in front of every dooryard are bril¬ liant with flowers. In many village streets there is not so imiqh as a scrap of paper to bo found. Elec. make the night of the village as bi. J.ilL'. as that of the great city. Fruits and vegetables all come to the market with the fresh flavor on them. In towns of a few thousand inhabitants water works supply pure water in abundance. Ere long there will be electric lights in pri vate houses. * sii\t§ _ Each town hits its own tasteful artistic “opera house.” Some of thefe village public halls are gems of beauty. Here the great lecture, the concert,Ajie popular play are given exactly a^fney are in the city. The public schools are better than they are in the hig,-oity, for they are out or politics. Modern inven tion has made the city yield up its trims ures to the country, and co-operation, combination, is the magic that has wrought it all. The village has the ad¬ vantages of the city, and pure air, blue sky and green trees besides. Yet another ingenious and important adaptation of electricity is a device for making it ring the chimes on church bells. This seems so reasonable an in¬ vention that the wonder is nobody thought of it sooner. However, H. F Atwood, of Orange, N. J., appears to la* the first man who has made the idea practicable. Put into words, which do not tell a tithe of the trouble it has cost Mr. Atwood, he has attached electrical wires to the various bells which ring tho chimes. The other ends of the wires are attached to a keyboard similar to that of a piano or organ. The player sits quietly down to this keyboard, which is fixed near the church organ, and plays the air to be rung out by tho chimes. Each touch upon the keys completes the cur reut which acts on the hells, and up in the church tower they ring the air tire organist plays upon the keys a hundred feet below. A phonographic attach¬ ment enables the player to hear the bells playing, so that he can give the expres¬ sion he wishes to the music. MR. SMITH’S NEWSPAPER. Washington, June 2l>.—Secre¬ tary Hoke Smith’s efforts to rim the Interior department and a newspaper at the same time bid fair to involve him in serious trouble. His ambition to supply liis Atlanta paper with “scoops” has embarrassed him several times, but Saturday he had to answer to the President for his journalistic enterprise. In the forenoon Secretary Gresh am was glancing over the New York papers: in one of them he saw copied and dulv credited a Wash ington special to tlm Atlanta Jour nal. It stated that Minister Blount would return from Hawaii just afe soon as his resignation wiis accept- j ed : that Secretary Smith had re ci ived a letter from Minister Blount, and further that the Presi dent and cabinet entirely approved all that Blount had doqe. Seero tary Gresham called the President’s altenti in to the dispatch. I When Secretary of the Interior entered the Cabinet room yester-; dav, smiling and gracious, the President pointed out the article to him and asked him if his paper i had published such a dispatch, Mr. Smith read it, hesitated and finally remarked that Ins “you* g man,” meaning thereby his cor¬ respondent, must have been indis¬ creet enough to include in his dis¬ patches some things intended for private conversation. The Presi¬ dent advised the Secretary to be more careful in keeping state se¬ crets from his “young man,” and there the incident terminated.— New York Commercial Advertiser. SLASHED WITH A KNIFE. Thomaston, Ua., July (».—At Bar¬ ker Springs, six miles from Thom¬ aston, yesterday evening Wylie Pollartl and Jeff Johnson cut Tom Moore seriously, and his recovery is doubtful. The trouble was a previous misunderstanding aroused by whisky drinking at a third par¬ ty picnic. Pollard and Johnson wore arrested aiul placed in tin* Thomaston jail. There were aboil* one thousand people present. The principal , speaker was C. H. Ellmg ton, president of the state alliance, from Me Duffy county. »► • -*• A Florida Land Grant. Washington, July 7.-1 n the case of Florida Central and Peninsular Railway Company, the secretary of the intei ior has affirmed the deci¬ sion ol the Secretary Noble hoMing that the grant of May 17, 1856, has not beer, forfeited by any act of the Florida Railroad Company, or his successors, and that no action lias been taken by the state denying to the company the bene¬ fits of the grant. He, therefore, re¬ voked the order suspending lists Nos. 2 and 3 of lands within the (iainsY*Jb* land district in Florida, selected on aeCt>,..'4_of Ma^ the grant made by the act of L7, 1856, and directed tin issuance otfLpa¬ tents thereon. JUSTICE B *MjT CHF0RDDEAD. Newport, I ".July 7.-Associate -Justice Samuel Blatchford passed quietly and peacefully away from earth at 7 :80 this evening. He retained consciousness until an hour or two before his death. There was no sudden change in his condition, simpl} a gradual slip¬ ping away which has been taking place for the last week. Arrangements for the funeral are not yet completed, but the body will probably bo taken to Washington for interment. Samuel Blatchford was born in New York. March 9, 1820; gradu¬ ating at Columbia College in 1837, and in 1842 was admitted to the bar. lie was a law partner of William H. Seward. In 1867 he became district judge for southern New York, and in March, 1V82, was appointed an associate justice on the supreme bench. • 4 * THE FLORIDA NORTHERN. The Florida Northern, or, ns it is better known, the South Bound, railroad’s extension, will lx* ironed from the junction at the crossing of the Central railrord to the chee river by the first of August, The entire line to its connection with'the Florida Central and Pen¬ insular railroad at Hart’s Road, Fla., will be completed, itissaid,by the fiist of November, though par¬ ties who are posted about railroad building say that unless the work is pushed more energetically it will be January or February before the trains are running over it. j The slow progress of the work ; of late is due largely to the fact that there has been some delay in the hands getting their money, i and they are working very reluct-; antly under the circumstances.; This is no fault of the builders of; the road nor of the contractors, but of the sub-contractor*. The, money has been forthcoming and has been paid promptly to the sub- j j contractors, but in many instances they have delayed in paying off their men, and in one or two cases j they have left their work. To relieve this difficulty the head contractors have recently taken , charge of the work, and the full force of hands is being kept cm ployed. Since this change was made everything is moving along | all right, and tho probability is that the work will be finished . soraewlure very near contract time.—9av. News. .

Washington, July G.-Ihe Vir¬ ginia Democratic Association, an organization which numbers in its ranks the most prominent Demo¬ cratic politician of Virginia, had organized a speechifying trip down the Potomac last night. The invi¬ tations issued included the Presi¬ dent and all the members of his Cabinet, from whom, of course, “regrets” were received, and nany other public men. Some of whom accepted. There was a curious tone of disappointment as to offices, running through most of the speeches. Hon. John Goode, Chilean Claims Commissioner who was a prominent candidate for the solicitor generalship, said that the campaign of the coming fall would have to be carefully looked after to see that the Old Dominion did not lag in the race. Virginia owed a debt of support to the adminis ation. Some of the listeners might have been disappointed in their expectation of office, but it should not be s.iid that any Virginian was a Democrat for revenue only. The Democrats should support their party on the Chicago platform to which they were pledged. Tne Sherman act was a cowardly make¬ shift, resorted to in order to secure the vote of the silver states in the last campaign. President Cleve¬ land had taken the only possible course by calling an e traordinary session of Congress. The Demo¬ cratic admiiiistation had been in j o ver only a few short months hut La l won the confidence of the peo¬ ple. They had saved #20, 000,000 already in pensions. This was not to say that the state of Virgin¬ ia was opposed to the payment of honest pensions to honest ex-union D..Jia«s, who had fought for the countryjgdiut pensions baldheadednese. it vriiM for After a speech from H. C. Man¬ sur, .of Missouri, second comptroller of wirrei.cy, Representative Enloe, of Tonnesee, made a short address, excusing himself from further ef¬ forts, as he had lost his voice asking for offices he never expected t> get. Representative Meredith of the Eighth Virginia District, and oth¬ er Congressman participated in the vocal exercises. GEORGIA CENTRAL. New York, July 5.-II. C. Collins made the following statement this morning in regard to the Georgia Central reorganization scheme: “The old plan of reorganization of the Central Railroad and Banking Company of Georgia has been abondoned, the committee consist¬ ing of Col. Phinizy, H. M. Comer and E. P. Howell, represent’d by their counsel, Mr. Adams, motion¬ ed Unit a member of the old organ ization committee look to adjust moot of the different interests in volved, especially that relating to the floating .winch was duo July 1st. No formal action was taken, and the meeting adjourned until tomorrow.” It was further stated at Hollins’ oftice that the reason for abandon ing the scheme was the opinion arrived at by tlw committee that the earnings of the company did not warrant the issuing of bonds to the extent formerly expected. The reorganization scheme which has been thrown over as imprac ticable had the approval of about 75 per cent of the stockholders and involved the issuing of bonds to the extent of $40,000,000 of which #15,000.000 were to be on preferred stock and $25,000,000 on the com men. It was estimated that this proposed bond issue would mon than cover the outstanding indebted toss. The old c mnnittee consisted of H. B. Hollings, chairman; Gen. Fitzgerald, Jas. Woodard, James Stillman, Jacob H. Schiff, of Kohn, Loeb & Co., Emanuel Lehman, E. E. Dennison, of Philadelphia, F. M. Colston, of Baltimore, and E. Rollins Morris, of Boston. ()t these, gentlemen onlv Messrs. lins, Fitzgerald, Schiff and Lehman were present. H. M. Comer, ident of the road and receiver, was made president with C. II. Fhin izy, Evan H. Howell and Samuel B. Adams, of Savannah, who came up from Savannah yesterday and VOL. 2-NO. ?. are stopping at the Fifth Avenue hotel. There was no quofa.it at the meeting this morning. An¬ other meeting may be held in a day or two. The road will be sold under fore¬ closure proceedings next Decem¬ ber if no satisfactery plat, has been put into execution before that date. The system covers 2,- 400 miles of road. ----• Two Tons of Itllorsi Chicago, July 5.—Accordingtoa special bulletin just issued by the postoffice authorities in this city there must be thousands of people scattered over the country that are waiting for the letter that never came, and lots more in Chi¬ cago that are wondering what has become of their expected advice from home. No less than two tons of misdirected letters are now stacked up in the basement of the office, ever}’ effort to determine th# exact destination of each one of the number having proved abor¬ tive. The failure to deliver so many letters directed to this city is attributive to the fact that every lodging house and flat that has anything over a single room to rent now dubs itself a hotel. There are two or three thousand of such alleged hotels in Chicago, and unless the street and number m given on the letter the carriers’ de¬ partment is simply helpless in the matter. 1 - Chloroform in Typhoid Fever. Dr. P. Werner, physician to the Gorman Hospital at St. Petersburg, has treated with the greatest suc¬ cess, so says Merck’s Bulletin, 180 cases of typhoid fever by using a the author was work of Behring on the microbi cide action < f chloroform upon tho baccillus of typhoid fever; but he was not familiar with the observa¬ tions of Dr. Stepp, of Nuremberg, who, in 1890, successfully admin¬ istered chloroform in cases of ty¬ phoid fever. Dr. Werner employed, as has al reudy been said, a one per cent so¬ lution of chloroform, the patients taking one to two tablespoonfuls every hour or two, night and day, without interruption, as long as the fever was at its height. As the disease abated, the dose was progressively diminished, al¬ though, even after the fever had completely disappeared, the medi¬ cine was cod tin ued for some time, several teaspoonfuls being given each day. In all the cases where this treat¬ ment was commenced before the tenth day of the disease, the most favorable results were obtained; the patients did not present the regular typhoid condition; the gen eral symptoms were limited to fe ver, with feebleness and want of appetite; the tongue never got in¬ to that coated, dirty, and loathsome condition so characteristic of ty phoid tever; the thirst, habitually so intense, disappeared in about two days, and the diarrhoea anti meteorism progressively diminish ed and soon disappeared altogthor. Bed sores were never observed, and relapses very rare, When the treatment with chlo roform was commenced late, the disease l eing already iu the third week, such extremely favorable re suits were not attained ; but, even in such cases, the treatment proved very useful, and was always well borne. Nevertheless, in four cases Dr Werner observed a jaundice, which in one instance wassuftic ient-ly pronounced to advise a sus pension of the medicine. Three of these cases were in children; the fourth occurred iu a young man. It might be remarked, in con elusion that the observations of Dr. Werner agree in every respect with those of Dr. Stepp. r I he treatment of typhoid fever by chioform ap pears to be deserving of the atteu tion of the practitioner, not only on accout of its efficacy, which has been proved by two investigators independent of each other, but also because of its great simplicity.— Scientific American.
