A medical man recently assisted in s n autopsy on a person blind from birth, and he sought to discover by scalpel and microscope the secret of the extraordinary delicate touch the* blind man had acquired during life. Sections perhaps a sixteenth of an inch thick were carefully sliced off the inner surfaces of the index and middle fingers of the right hand. Under a high power these showed, instead of a single nerve-trunk and artery and vein of the average man, a most com¬ plex and delicate ramification of nerve filaments, dainty and minute nerve twigs in immense numbers branching from the main stem.

Two Deputies Killed Outright, Two Fa¬ tally Wounded and Two Mysteri¬ ously Disappear. A special from Little Rock states that six men were probably massacred in the wilds of the mountains of Pope county Sunday. Two were killed out¬ right, two were fatally wounded and left for dead, and two have mysteri¬ ously disappeared and are either dead or being held captive by bandite. The killed are: Captain B. F. Taylor, of Searcy county, deputy United States marshal; Joe Dodson, of Stone oounty, deputy marshal. The fatally wounded are brothers, named Renfrow, of Searcy county. The names of the missing men are not known, but they are supposed to be deputy sheriffs from an adjoining county. The victims were all deputy United States marshals and deputy sheriffs, and the men who did the work are moonshiners of the boldest and most desperate class. The scene of the crime was a gulch or ravine in the mountains of Pope county, at a lonely spot, thirty-five miles from Russellville, the nearest telegraph office, and ten miles from M T itt Springs. The region is wild and isolated. It has for years been the favorite rendez¬ vous of counterfeiters and moonshin¬ ers and is a district in -which no law abiding citizen can live. The officers for a long time have been trying to break up the lawless¬ ness in that vicinity and many battles between them and the desperadoes have occurred. Captain B. F. Tay¬ lor, the richest man in Searcy county and a man of much prominence, de¬ termined to help the officers in put¬ ting down crime. He secured a com¬ mission as a deputy United States marshal and led the posse in the raid that resulted in his death. A few days ago a successful raid was made in the same locality, in which a dozen moon¬ shiners were captured and carried to Little Rock. One of them told the officers that at least fifty large distil¬ leries were operating in the same neighborhood. Taylor with hie posse located a large moonshine ontfit Saturday night and decided to make the raid Sunday. Proceeding slightly in advance of his men, Tayl oj was within thirty feet of the distillery when he was fired on from ambush and instantly killed. As Dodson ran up to Taylor he was also shot dead. Rifles began to crack in all directions and a volley w r as fired into the officers. The Renfrow brothers fell mortally wounded and lay by the roadside until later in the day, when a traveler named Pack came by. All traces of the bandits had disappeared, as well as two of the deputy sheriffs. The latter have not since been heard from. Pack hurried to Russellville with the news and the coroner, together with a sheriff’s posse, immediately started for the scene. It was not known by whom the crime was committed, but the officers believe the gang is composed of desperadoes led by Horace Bruce and John Church, two of the most dangerous characters in that lo¬ cality. in Captain Taylor was an ex-captain the federal army. He had served two terms in the state legislature and was noted for his bravery. Marshal Coop¬ er Monday afternoon received the fol¬ lowing telegram from the attorney general: “Washington.—Expenses of subject posse to executive approval, not to exceed 62,000, authorized; 6500 reward authorized for cap¬ ture and delivery to marshal of ail persons implicated in the murder. “McKenna.” MORE SOLDIERS SUMMONED. Spain Calls Oat Reserves for Cuba and Philippine Islands. At a cabinet council at Madrid, Monday, it was decided to summon the next class of 80,000 reserves, 27,000 of whom will be sent to Cuba and 13,000 to the Philippine islands. The minister, when questioned, de¬ nied that the council was occupied with the subject of colonial reforms or with political questions. y ICTI3I WAS NOT GULDENSUPPE. __ >ack Proves _ To >Inr<Jere<I Mrs. . -\j au By Be From Petersburg, Va.

In his speech at Manning, S. C., Colonel Irby made the statement that he had cheated Tillman into his nom ination in 1890. The circumstance created a sensa¬ tion at the time. Irby said: “I hatched Tillman. The truth of this whole matter is that Tillman and I joined teams in 1S86 after his agita¬ tion in 1885 for the purpose, first, to establish an agricultural college in South Carolina. On the question of college or no college, we were iuglori ously defeated. I * Tillman became disgusted and at¬ tempted to organize the farmers of the state, threw up the sponge, wrote a long letter to the people of the state expressing his contempt and retired to his home among the old hills of Edge field. “To get him back I originated the March convention idea a year before the convention was held and gave him the nomination on a silver waiter. On the question of nomination or no nomination in that convention we were defeated by one vote. I cheated the question of nomination, which saved Tillman, who was to be the nominee. The end justified the means, because persons opposed to nominations had not been invited to that convention and they had no right to control its deliberations.” FATAL FLAMES IN FLORIDA. Three Dives Dost By Fire In Fort Tampa City and Much Property Destroyed. At Port Tampa, Fla., Sunday after¬ noon, Marie, the fourteen-year-old daughter of Mrs. Frances Valdez, went to the kitchen to start a fire. She poured on kerosene, and instantly ' there was a deafening explosion, fol¬ lowed by the girl’s agonizing death cries as she ran from the room a blaz¬ ing mass. Mrs. Valdez at once went to her daughter’s assistance. While she was attempting to extinguish the flames her own clothes caught fire, and the two ran screaming from the house. Both were burned beyond recognition about their faces. The house caught from the flames, and was soon a mass of fire. A small hoy was burned in the house. The fire spread rapidly and five houses owned by the Plant Invest¬ ment company were burned, there be¬ ing no fire protection. ALABAMA COAL FOB MEXICO. Large Cargo Will Be Shipped From Pensa¬ cola to Vera Cruz. A Birmingham special says: The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway Company is loading a cargo of coal at Pensacola consisting of 500 tons, which which will be shipped to Vera Cruz, Mexico, to be introduced to the trade in that country, now being sup¬ plied by an English coal company. The discriminating duty on Mexican vessels loading coal at American ports having been abolished at the last ses¬ sion of congress, Alabama will attempt to get into the Mexican market with her product. will The Tennessee company, which furnish coal to the Louisville and Nashville Railway Company, which will haul the coal from Birmingham to Pensacola, and the Gulf Transit Company, which will handle it over waters, are uniting on the first ship¬ ment to the Mexican market. MUST FIGHT OR BACK DOWN. McDaurln Shoulders Responsibility for Everything Offensive to Evans. A Columbia, S. C., special says: It is a case of back down or fight be¬ tween ex-Governor Evans and Sena¬ tor McLaurin. While McLaurin has been sick a quantity of campaign litera¬ ture has been sent out from his head¬ quarters at Columbia. Several of these reflected on Evan’s character. The ex-governor declared a few days ftgo. at Kingstree, that unless Mc Laurin made a public disclaimer to tlie effect that he did not authorize or in¬ dorse these circulars he would hold him personally responsible. It was not expected that McLaurin would notice this, but Saturday night he issued the following card: *‘X am responsible for everything in the campaign that is offensive to Mr. Evans and he need not put himseJf to the trouble of making any inquiries, but may proceed when ho sees fit to hold me responsible. “Jons McLAunis." i This has created much gpeculation as to tlie outcome. j TO ESTABLISH KLONDIKE ROUTE.
