At u prohibition meeting at Alexandria tltia
rcth, Her. Dr. Psrhcr repeated his ventes -f
the incideot, which eroked from Mr. Darla an
Indignant reply under date of Auguat 19, and
which la' printed in the Picayune to-day. He
characterises Dr. Parker’* aUtement aa untrue
ftud continues:
“I had a eonraruatlon with Mr*. Chapia at
the dinner table, and atated In raricn* forma
ipy objection* to the remedy which the tem
perance union propoe* for the rice of intem
perance. To her public lecture I ll.tened at
tentively. It waa a powerful exposition of
the rice of intemperance and of It* ovll con-
eeqnencee. At the cloae of her lecture I took
a Beat by bar, and expteaaed my concurrence
in all ahe had eaid. She had not uaed the
word prohibition, and my Indoraemcnt did not
po to thatextent, aa, according to my view,there
were adequate remedica which I preferred.
She oxpreaaed herself gratified at my concur-
rence In her lecture, and asked mo to enroll
my name In her book. Till* I decilnd to
do. She thon offered to mo the badge
which ahe wore, and upon my dednlng that
alao, ahe naked mo to take It to tny wife, of
wlioee aympany with the organization ahe rep-
reaented, ahe had I teen made aware by Mb*
Willard. I didn’t and could not object to be
ing the medium through which *ho would
aend the badge to my wife, and ahe pinned it
upon the lappel of my coat. The letter to
Governor Lubbock waa written fonr days be
fore I heard the lecture of Mr*. Chapin, and
waa freah In my mind, aa a dolllwrato exprea-
Blon of opinion when I went to tlioaeaahoro
camp ground*, and that letter contained noth
ing inconalatent with the approval of atrongoat
expression* against drunkciuieas.”
Mr. Davl* took the badgo homo to hi* wife,

In hla Utter to Colonel T. It. Lubbock, Mr. Davl*
did not advocate the us* nor fbror the aaleof li

the government may Interfere with the private and
domestic affair* of the cllUen under the pretense of
a patamal car* fbr the morale and good order of the
people, n* deplored the evil of Intemperance, hut
finlinded the Texans that they already had “local

liberty and moral reaponslblllty would be to eradi

would be mors fatal than that fbr which It waa of
fered as a remedy.
Doubtless the letter did have mnch Influence In
the election. Aside Horn It* staid doctrines, it
waa written by one whom the people of the noth-

who U loved by them fbr hts domestic virtue* as

When I got near enough tha tent to be hoard,I
shouted mit: ’Cheer up, Greely; we’re boro
with two chips to save you.’ The back of the
tent had been blown down, and f had to cut my
way in. The poor frdlowa were lying on tire
ground In their elreplnglrag*. juat alrlo to move.
I gave them each a drink of whisky and a bis

Colwell to Grealy and laid that he was a mem

EATING HUMAN FLESH,
Norman’s Mysterious Tal* of tha Greely
Expedition,
From <t» Chicago Herald.
Thero hat always been men or lee* tnyplery
inrrouiidlng th* Greely expedition, and the true
history of th* awful mouthi passed In theoretic
regions will probably never tornado known. So
many charge* and countercharge* have been
made and refuted that the general publie la un
decided whether to accept lieutenant Ore*.
Jy’a record, or the storir* told by the adherenta
of Llontenant Kiallngbury. Thero I* now in
Chicago a bluff, hearty Newfoundlander named
Norman. II* la a man about forty-flvo yuan
ofag*, of Una physique, and boar* th* marks
•f great exposure to wind and weather In his
countenance. Captain Norman waa loemaater
of tho Proteus when it bore Greely and hla
party to Lady Franklin’* bay In 1W1. Ho held
tha aame position In the Neptnno under com
mand of W. M. Beebe tho following year,
when the provision* were cached at Capo
Sabin*. Do did not accompany tho Proteus
and Y’autlo In IMS, when the former foundered,
owing lo the Jealousy of lha American consul
*t Bt. Johns, lie was a member of the final
relief expedition, however, end acted ae ice-
master of the Tbetlx, which was the flagship
of the smell squadron. To him belong* Hie
honor of being first to discover the Herring
enfferere, and, in fact, he remained in their
tent with them alone for nearly an Hour before
others of the expedition reachod the epot.
Captain Norman la reluctant lo talk about the
expedition, but he Is supposed lo know as much
at the history ol It os any one not a member of
It. The other night, while playing cord* with
a party of gentlemen, the captain thawed, un
der the Influence of e bottle of rich claret, end
re laud seven) dreumstancee which have nev

“Yes, sold he, at ho lighted a fresh cigar

strips of flesh had boon cut from Lieutenant
Klsllucbnry’s thighs, jnvt as a butcher cult a

hut thero’s no use of going into particulars.
Yon can’t Judge of men in their condition os
yon could if they wero In civilization. Just
think of It, going for months withont having
water to wash their faces in. Tho men, how
ever, ail protested they had not eaten human
flesh and boosted that some of them had died
of starvation rather than rreort to such ex
tremities. When I told Commander Schley
the condition In which some of the bodice
were found ho told me to keep the matter u
qnlet as peasible and not let the men know
anything about it. The bodies wero taken
aboard Alp and placed in eicohol. A wooden
bell wu placed on llonry’s nock and two
wooden aileka mads to represent hb arms.
Clothes were wrapped around thou to conceal
tho deception, and In thb wsy ho wu buried
on Governor’s Island. An attempt wu mado
to observe tho utmost secrecy in the matter
and when Portsmouth wu reached no one wu
allowed to see the bodies end the survivors
thomselroe were taken uhore to the nary yard
and surrounded by a cordon of untinals so that
no one could approaoh them without perniit-

cy that mado people think that something wu
wrong, and which finally caused a portion ol
the truth to leak out."

WAsmrarotf, August 17.—Tho few resi

Ohio "Y,” who were np and on the street at
B:20o’clock thb mommg, witnessed a singular
and startling scene. It wu no less a spoctaclo
than that of a train of cars leaping from tho
track and rushing with the speed of lightning
and tho crash of a thunderbolt through a
brick honso. In an instant the train and notiao
were in a heap of ruins and tha track for somo
distance b Ittered with debris. The train to
which thb accident occurred was train No. 4,
coming from the west, duo hero at 8:20. About
0:20 it came thundering Into the city over the
Metropolitan branch, end at the citrve, nearly
a mile sway from the "Y,” began whbtllng

wero not put on.
The sir bmkM, it wu stated, did not work
and the engineer began blowing bb dbtreu

Macon, G*., Angustl9.—[SpecialJ—Mr. W.
II. Burden, of Barden, 8mfth & Ellis, owned
a fine Ayrshire cow that recently became sick.
He tried every veterinary surgeon in town,
and finally ho became dbgnsted and decided to
try those most Ignorant.
In hb rounds he ran upon Silas Leonard, the
sage of Wolff Bow, and Bllu examined the
cow.
"Huh I W’y, I know w’at do matter wld de
cow, bou," said Bllu. “Bho done lo*’ her cud.
I’ll fix her.”
"All right,” replied Mr. Burden, “go ahead
and see what you can do."
Bo Silas went in search of materisb for end
making. "I hatter hare or leotle fodder, some
green grass, tome hair out o’ de cow lick, an’
piece o’ manifolds,"
8o away he went and securing a dozen bain
from tho “cow lick” of a deceased steer, and a
S lcco of "manifolds," he wrapped them
ghtly with some blades of erbp green gnu,
and then covered that with some
strips of fodder, rabbins the ball with usafm-
tlda, and then forcing the cow to (wallow the
big bolus.
In fiftcon minutes the cow ate a backet of
boiled peas and bean mash, fed down a grass
plot and lowed for more.
But ero long ahe took sick again, and Silu
wu sent for,
"Well, she ain’t loss her end dis time, hits
de pain in de head,” sold he, and went away
for a remedy.
Meaiiwhilo, Mannel, the 3:30 a m. bugler,
eamo along, and he decided tho cow had
stomach troubles, and he went to work and
got her to improving.
But unfortunately the cow died, and now
Mr. Burden favors a school for educating cow
doctors, and Sites, the sage, and Manuel, tho
bugler, each has his own private opinion of
tlio other’s skill.

CHICAGO, August 20—A week’s trading that has
been marked by a camion next to cowardice closed
on the board of trade today. The explanation of
the status of affuin is the crowd’s lack of a leader

bulls or benis. The wheat pit urns extraordinarily

operators manifested an Inclination to look on and
await developments. This was the character of tho
speculative market, the pit being downed moat of

quantity of spring wheat for export, but the scarcity
of vessels prevented business. However, 108,000

under yesterday’s closing: prices were
