LAKE DISASTER.
A Barge and Fivo Lives Go Down.
The Vessel Gets In a Trough, and Suddenly
Plunges Beneath the Angry Waves.
Buffalo, N. Y., July 24. On the pro
peller Alaska, which arrived in port this
morning, were two survivors of a ship
wreck in Lake Erie, on Friday night, who
tell a story of sudden disaster in which
five lives were lost. They were Captain
McCormack and Mate Hugh Deering, of
the barge Theodore Perry, which left here
Friday night in the tow of the steamer
D. W. Powers. The other boats in tow
were the B. B. Buckout, Senator Blood
and Wyandotte. The Perry and Senator
Blood were coal-laden for Saginaw. At
nine o’clock in the evening, when sev
enty miles off Long Point, in a north
wind, the boats were laboring in a trough.
At 11 o’clock the Perry opened on the star
board side forward, just under the deck
beams. All the crew but the cook were
on deck, and the captain ordered them to
save themselves. In three minutes the
Perry was under the water. The pumps
were only working five minutes, and be
fore they were sounded there was no
water in the boat’s bottom. She gave
way all at once. The crew* and a single
passenger were aft by the yawl when she
went down, but it all happened so quickly
that Mate Deering sa3 r s he could not
tell whether they got into the boat or not
Captain McCormack made an effort to
save the woman cook, who was in the
cabin, but the cabin washed off and she
broke away from him. He is certain she
was drowned. The captain managed to
get on top of the cabin,where he remained
until picked up by the Alaska. Deering
jumped over the weather side and clung
to the forecastle deck. Two officers
were knocked about by the sea for
twelve hours, and were ■ thoroughly
exhausted when sighted by Captain Wil
son and his men. Deering lay lifeless on
his frail support at ten o’clock yesterday
morning, when the Alaska saw Captain
McCormack’s signals, 'ftie crew consisted
of James Covert, Buffalo; Ben Kenieutt,
Saginaw; Charles Copely, Saginaw; Mrs.
Jane Wisminter, cook, Buffalo. Copely,
who was nominally Master, was a step
son of I. H. Prentice, of Saginaw, owner
of the Perry. The passenger supposed
to be lost was Neil McLane, of Saginaw.
It is not thought possible that any of the
missing were saved, as they could hardly
beat their way against the gale to the
south shore. The Perry was built here in
1855, and was rebuilt at Bay City the year
following. Captain McCormack says that
the disaster was so sudden that he doubt
ed if the crew, who were near the yawl,
had time to get to it.
DEFAULTER HARVEY.
Another Swindle by Which He Procured a
Pension for His Sister.',
Wilkesbarre, Pa., July 34.— While in
Washington, Oscar J. Harvey,the default
ing treasury official, acted as attorney for
a Mrs. Bronson, and secured for her a
pension, amounting to over $1,700. The
draft for the money was made out at
the Bub-Treasury in Philadelphia, and
signed by Pension Agent W. W. Davis.
Commissioner of Pensions Black, of
Washington, was led to believe that the
pension was secured by fraudulent means,
and on Saturday he sent Special Officer
Birtseye here to notify the banks not to
cash the draft. The draft was found in
the possession of Miss E. Harvey, a sister
vf the forger.
A Portable Telephone.
Brussels, July 34.—Colonel Renard and
Mr. Northomb have inveuted a portable
telephone wherewith telephoning is made
easy on open ground from anywhere to
anywhere by means of a copper wire
worked by a small but astonishingly pow
erful generator of electricity. In warfare
soldiers could carry the wire, and would
be able to communicate with
others by simply throwing the
wire on the soil and roll
ing it around a sword fixed in the ground
to form the circuit and then speaking
through a small box. The said telephone
also acts as a telegraph, and can be used
as a substitute wherever telegraph wires
are cut. Experiments made between
Brussels and Antwerp show the trans
mission to be so perfect that sound can be
heard even at several yards from the re
ceiver.
Convicted Murderer Lynched.
Omaha, Neb.,July24.—About fouro’clock
this morning a mob broke into jail at Ne
braska City and took therefrom a con
demned murderer, Lee Shellenberger, and
lynched him. This action was no doubt
caused by the fact that a few weeks ago
Quinn Bohannan, another condemned
murderer, was assisted to escape from
this same jail through the connivance of
one of the assistant jailers, as is alleged,
and is still at large. The assistant jailer
is under arrest. David Hoffman, who was
legally executed at Nebraska City on Fri
day, made an ante-mortem statement that
he saw the assistant jailer let Bohannan
out of the jail.
Rewarding Bravery.
Dublin, July 35.— Michael Davitt and his
wife attended a meeting held yesterday at
Bodyke and presented medals and money
to the girls who bravel} 1 assisted in the de
fense of their houses during the recent
celebrated eviction at this place.
Now She’s Gone for Good.
New York, July 34. —Gertrude Bee
craft, aged seventeen, of 367 West Forty
seventh street, was rebuked by her
mother Friday night for staying out late.
She took rat poison last night and died,
after much suffering.
A New Invention.
Cincinnati, July 24.—Harry B. Cox, a
young electrician, with a laboratory at
Fern Bank, near this city, has invented a
trumpet by which ordinary sounds can be
carried for miles, and which is designed
for use at sea.
Killed by a Rattler.
Oakland, 111., July 24.—While cutting
oats yesterday, a farmer named Johnson
was bitten by a rattlesnake, from the ef
fects of which he died. He was binding
oats, when he ran into a large nest of rat
tlers, and succeeded in killing fourteen of
them before he was bitten. Other parties
who came to his assistance succeeded in
killing eleven more.

THE WAYS OF BATS.
How the Strange Creature* Are Brought
Up and now They Live.
The habits of bats, while difficult to
study, are most interesting. Generally
one or two are produced at a birth, the
young clinging to either male or fe
male, and one at least being carried
about in the air. There is good author
ity for believing that the female not
only cares for its young, but is enabled
to provide it with milk from its pectoral
milk glands. The little bats cling to
ithe parents in various ways. The male
iof Cheiromeles torquatus has a nurs
ing pouch in which it holds them, so
[relieving the mother, and sometimes,
[while the mother holds the young, the
male places himself before her so that
they are perfectly screened and protects
ed. The largest of the bats are the so
called flying foxes, specimens of which
are often landed at San Francisco and
shipped East. The face and head much
resemble those of the fox, the eyes be
ing large and lustrous. They are es
pecially common in the Indian penin
sula, and occasion so much damage in
some of the islands which contain large
fruit orchards that the planters are
obliged to cover the trees with nets.
The bats are extremely large, and when
seen hanging from trees pre
sent the appearance of black
fruit or seeds. Often as
many as one hundred will be seen
clinging to the same tree, and so pow
ful of penetrating is the musky odor
which they exude that their presence is
announced long before they are seen.
These bats are famous for their habits
of intemperance, and a party of drunk
en ones is often met with. Their con
dition is due to their love for the toddy
which they obtain from the chatties of
cocoanut trees. So intoxicated do they
become that they are often found at
the foot of a tree sleeping off the effects
of their debauch, and soon fall victims
to the vice. Temperance lecturers
often use the argument that man of all
the animal kingdom is the only one
that takes to the flowing bowl, but
bats, monkeys and elephants are cer
tainly exceptions. Some of the small
bats nip and bite when attacked or
taken, but to human beings the odor is
in many cases quite sufficient to drive
any but a collector away. This is par
ticularly noticeable in the bat known
scientifically as Cheiromeles torqua
tus. The body is almost naked and
the odor so strong, overpowering and
offensive that people have been ren
dered sick while merely making a
drawing of one. —San Francisco Call.

INVALIDS 1 lOTEIsSUtUCU INSTITUTE
No. 663 Main Street, BUFFALO, N. Y.
Not a Hospital, but a pleasant Remedial Home, organized with
A FULL STAFF OF EIGHTEEN PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS,
And exclusively devoted to the treatment of all Chronic Diseases.
This imposing Establishment was designed and erected to accommodate the large number of invalids who visit Buffalo from
every State and Territory, as well as from many foreign lands, that they may avail themselves of the professional services 01
the Staff of skilled specialists in medicine and surgery that compose the Faculty of this widely-celebrated institution.
A FAIR AND BUSBNESS-UKE OFFER TO INVALIDS.
We earnestly invite you to come, see and examine for yourtclf, our institutions, appliances, advantages and success in curing
chronic diseases. Have a mind of your own. Do not listen to or heed the counsel of skeptical friends or jealous physicians, who
know nothing of us, our system of treatment, or means of cure, yet who never lose an opportunity to misrepresent ana endeavor
to prejudice people against us. We are responsible to you for what we represent, and if you come and v.isit us. and nna that
we have inisrepresented, in any particular , our institutions, advantages or success, we will promptly refaud to you
all expennea of your trip. We court honest, sincere investigation, have no secrets, and are only too giaiS to enow ail
interested and candid people what we are doing for suffering humanity.
NOT ALWAYS NECESSARY TO SEE PATIENTS.
By our original system of diagnosis, we can treat many chronic
diseases just as successfully without as with a personal con
sultation. While we are always glad to gee our patients, and
become acquainted with them, show them our institutions, and
familiarize them with our system of treatment, yet we have not
seen one person in live hundred whom we have cured. The per
fect accuracy with which scientists are enabled to deduce the
most minute particulars in their several departments, appears
almost miraculous, if we view it in the light of the early ages.
Take, for example, the electro-magnetic telegraph, the greatest
invention of the age. Is it not a marvelous degree of accuracy
which enables an operator to exactly locate a fracture in a sub
marine cable nearly three thousand miles long? Our venerable
“clerk of the weather” has become so thoroughly familiar with
the most wayward elements of nature that he can accurately
predict their movements. He can sit in Washington and foretell
Wliat the weather will bo in Florida or New York as well as if
several hundred miles did not intervene between him and the
places named. And so in all departments of modern science,
what is required is the knowledge of certain
p si'tpw. From these scientists deduce accurate con-
UISNS UF elusions regardless of distance. So, also, in rncdl
_ cal science, diseases have certain unmistakable
nitrite signs, or symptoms, and by reason of this fact, we
UioLiiOL. have ix'en enabled to originate arid perfect a sys
the naturo of chronic diseases, without seeing aud personally
COMMON SENSE AS APPLIED TO MEDICINE.
It is a well-known fact, and one that appeals to the judgment of every thinking person, that the physician who devotes
hts whole time hi the studv and investigation of a certain class of diseases, must become better qualilled to treat such
diseases than, he who attempts to treat every ill to which flesh is heir, without giving special attention to any class of diseases.
Men, in all ages of the world, who have become famous, have devoted their lives to some special branch of science, art, or
By thorough organization, and subdividing the practice of medicine and surgery in this institution, every invalid is treated
bv a specialist—one who devotes his undivided attention to the particular class of diseases to which tho case belongs. The
advantage of this arrangement must be obvious. Medical science offers a vast field for investigation, and no physician can,
within the brief limit* of a life-time, achieve the highest degree of sueeess in the treatment of every malady incident to humanity.

[■— ■■■■I. ■■■■ KitiGHrS DISEASE, DIABETES, and
KinHFV kindred maladies, have been very largely treated,
l\!Unu and cures effected in thousands of eases which had
nirrior? been pronounced beyond hope. These diseases are
UiohAotG. readily diagnosticated, or determined, by chemical
■howh*. analysis of the urine, without a jiersona) examina
tion of patients, ivtio can, therefore, generally bo
sticcessf all y treated at their homes. The study and
practice of chemical analysis and microscopical examination of
the urine in our consideration of cases, with reference to correct
diagnosis, in which our institution long ago became famous, has
naturally led to a very extensive practice in diseases of the urinary
organs. Probably no other institution in the world has been so
largely patronized by suffers from this class of maladies as the old
and world-tamed World's Dispensary and Invalids’ Hotel. Our
specialists have acquired, through a vast and varied experience,
great expertness in determining the exact nature of each case,
and, hence, have been successful in nicely adapting their remedies
for ktie cure of each individual case.
I These delicate diseases should tie carefully treated
I nSUTinU |by a specialist thoroughly familiar with them, and
I | who is competent to ascertain the exact condition
and stage of advancement which the disease has
made (whioh can only be ascertained by a careful chemical and
microscopical examination of the urine), for medicines which are
curative in one stage or condition are known to do positive injury
in others. YVe have never, therefore, attempted to put up anything
for genera! sale through druggists, rocommending to cure these
diseases, although possessing very superior remedies, knowing full
well from an extensive experience that the only safe nnd success
ful course is to carefully determine the disease and its progress in
each case by a chemical and microscopical examination of the
urine, and then adapt our medicines to the exact stage of the dis
ease and condition of our patient.

If OK3ERFUL marvelous success attained by our specialists in

To those acquainted with our institutions, it is hardly necessary
to say that the invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, with th«
branch establishment located at No. 3 New Oxford Street, London,
England, have, for many years, enjoyed the distinction of being
tlie most largely patronized and widely celebrated institutions in
the world for the treatment and cure of those affections which
arise from youthful indiscretions and pernicious, solitary practices.
We, many years ago, established a special Department for the
treatment of' these diseases, under the management of some of
the most skillful physicians and surgeons on our Staff, in order
that all who apply to us might receive all the advantages of a fuU
Council of the most experienced specialists.
•ii- - n We offer no apology for devoting so much
IffF H’-l-FR attention to this neglected class or disease*.
. believing do condition of humanity is too
Mfl APfll fIPV wretched to merit the sympathy and best
lIU HrULIMII. services of the noble profession to which w«
1 1 1,1 * belong. Many who suffer from these terribte
diseases contract them innocently. Why Hiiy medical man. intent
on doing good and alleviating suffering, should shun such cases,
we cannot imagine. Why any one should consider it otherwise
than most honorable to cure the worn eases of these diseases,
we cannot understand; and yet of all the other maladies wbfob
afflict mankind there is probably none atiout which physicians In
general practice know so little. We shall, therefore, continue, a*
heretofore, to treat with our best consideration, sympathy, and skill,
all applicants who are suffering from any of these delicate diseases.

a Hundredsof the most difficult operations known
OURSIGAL mo<iern surgery are aunually performed in th*
most skillful manner, by our Burgeon-special
fitJipTlPF tots. Large Stones are safely removed from the
I ntnl IIUL. Bladder, by crushing, washing and pumping ilium
■t 1 out, thus avoiding the great danger of cutting.
Our specialists, remove cataract from the eye, thereby curing blind
ness. They also straighten cross-eyes and insert artificial one*
wlien needed. Many Ovarian and also Fibroid Tumors of th*
Uterus are arrested in growth and cured by electrolysis, ooupled
with other means of our invention, whereby the great danger of
cutting operations in these cases is avoided.
Especially has the success of our improved operation* for Vari
cocele, Hydrocele, Fistulie, Huptured Cervix Uteri, and for Rup
tured Perineum, been alike gratifying both to ourselves and our
patients. Not less so have been the results of numerous operations
for Stricture of the Cervical Canal, a condition in the female gen
erally resulting in Barrenness, or Sterility, and the cure of which,
by a safe and painless operation, removes this commonest of im
pediments to tbe bearing of offspring.
A Complete Treatise on any one of the above maladies will b*
sent on receipt of ten cents in stamps.
