NEW YORK, 1cSoBa2 2g.-eTlre aernH has
en- astonishing story of % league between
Che keepers of bagnios and the police Of the
city. dt states that almest all the houses of
Gil Same iB the upper part of town have
aelegraph connections, and all telegraph
offices have policemen detailed from the
metropolitan department for duty. Three
weeks ago young lady was decOyed from
Boston, and after searching Tor her in vain
ehrough the medium of friends, her mother
and sister arrived in New York on the fif
Geenth instant They traced the unfortu-
Gate giTl to bagnio on West Thirty-frst
street. Her sister last Friday went to the
place in carriage, and obtaining admis-
sion, asked TO see her sister. The prOcuress
ordered her OUT and when she refused to
Ieave, summoned q messenger of the tele-
graph company, who fetched Policeman
Rowland to the house. He instantly took
sides with the procuress, and ordered the
lady out OF the house and emphaticaIly told
her she should not have her sister The
visitor doubted his being an officer. and he
pulled back his coat and showed her his
shield. The lady then asked for his pro-
section. iu protect you by putting YOU
out" he said; come, you have no business
here The lady demonstrated, and toI6
him she would not leave until her sister
went with her. One of the wretched in
mates Of the place, sympathizing with the
woman, whispered in her ear: . Hall bed.
room, second floor, back" She made for
the door, dashed it open, and her sister was
standing in the middle of the room weeping
bitterly. Both sisters then walked down
into the hall and left the house unmolested.
when they were going away from the
house, the policeman was closeted with the
OpreSs in the front DarlOT of the dnu The
girls story is that she first met the pro
Guress while walking in the street in Bos
ton, and was seduced by her brilliant prom
ises to come to New York with her The
two policemen detailed at the telegraph
station have been ordered back to post
duty, and the public is wondering if this
is all the punishment Rowland is to receive.

INTERESTING OLD DOCUMENT.
Historic Names on n Deed.

From the Knoxville Chronicle.
The late James III. COwan was one Of our
oldest and wealthiest merchants. he died
leaving a large landed estate. His title pa
pers include deeds executed in the last CEN
tury, and some of them bear historic names.
Mr.. Perez Dickinson and Jam s d. COwan,
while engaged recently in examining his t.
tie papers to ascertain the boundaries to GER
tain property in East Knoxville, found a
deed which is Of interest, because of tho au-
tographs and associations it bears. 1t was
executed in 1899, to Mr.. James II. Cowan's
father, and the attesting witnesses to the
deed were Andrew Jackson and Hugh Law
son White. Both names were boldly writ
ten and are as plain to-day as on the day
they were subscribed. Andrew jackson af-
forwards, as is well known. became twice
President Of the United States. His assO-
ciate was, as is well known, estimable to
East TennesSeeans. He became a Senator
in Congress, and in 1926 ran for President
against Martin Van Buren,. 1t is not often
that deeds unimportant in character contain
such distinguished names either as grantor,
grantee or attesting witnesses. A President

STEAMBOAT ACCIDENT.
Collision on the Tennessee RiVer-OnI


Boat Wrecked.
The steamers Converse aud Last Chance
collided at Bells Landing on the Tennessee
river, about forty miles above Chattanooga,
on the night of the 9th inst, the former
coming down and the latter going up. The
Chattanooga Times says:
The collision was caused by the officers
Of the boats failing to correctly understand
the signals. As near as we were able to
learn the facts, the Converse on approaching
the landing, which is situated III a sweep
ing bend Of the river, discovered the Last
Chance, and blew for the right. The latter
boats whistle string was foul and she an
sWered with a single whistle. This misled
the officers of the Converse, who attempted
to pull to the left, when the boats collided,
near the South shore. The Chance struck
the Converse on her starboard side forward
of her boilers, cutting her nearly in two.
The Converse careened from the force Of
the blow, and swinging round, drif,ed
against some drift wood near the shore and
sunk. Her bow lies about eight feet under
water. Her starboard boiler is covered
with water. The stern of the Chance was
broken and sprung an ugly leak which was
stopped by the crew with raw cotton.
The Converse is about seven years old.
She was built for the upper Missouri trade,
and was bought by the Roane Iron Com
pany, about a year age. She was owned
when sunk by Capt. Glover, her command
er. She was valued at $1,000, and was
without insurance.
There were fortunately no lives lost.
When the boats struck, the stove in The pi-
lot house of the Converse upset. The as
sistant pilot, who was at the wheel, staid at
bis post, and the first pilot secured the stove
50 that no serious damages occurred from
this source. Several of the crew jumped
overheard and swan ashore. Capt. Glover
was the last man off his vessel, and by his
presence of mind contributed greatly to pre-
vent more serious result.

PERIODIC disorders.

The prOxysmal msladies which are character
lied by heat and cold, prevail extensively at this
season, and it is curious fact that in many parts
of the country where they are prevalent, other
diseases, that bear 10 general resemblance to
fever and ague, or remittent fever, assume pc
riOdic type. Thus, in many sections infested with
chills and fever, rheumatism, neuralgia, hysteris
diarrh9a, etc, sometimes become intermittent,
thereby indicating that they have been engen-
dered by the same poisonous exhalations which
produce the first named disease.
In all these masked cases Of aguc-for such they
areas well as in the regular iutermittents, the
most safe and reliable remedy that can be admin
quinine nor arsenic are needed Both are in the
highest degree dangerous, and are sure to leave
sad traces Of their poisonous action in tho sys-
TEN, whether they arrest the paroxysms or not.
In many instances ali the sO-called specifics of
the Irregular" matera medica utterly fail to
"break up" intermittent and remittent disorders.
But the great vegetable tonic never fails. The
spasm Of the minute blOed-vessels which causes
the chill, is the result OF nervous weakness, pro-
duced by the facilitating operation of an IN
wholesome atmosphere, and the tone and vigOr
given to the nervous system by the Bitters, en-
able 1t to throw of the disease. The wiser pol
icy, however, rs TO anticipate attacks of this ma
ture by arOusing all the latent energies of the
body at the commencement OF the moist and chill
ly season with this Incompatible antidOte. BY
pursuing this course, mtermittents, remittents,
rheumatism, collie, biliOusness, dyspepsia and
pulmonary affections NAV always be prevented.

COMPARATIVE BARMLESSEESS OF
IMPROVED WEAPONS.

A rather curious result is obtained by
comparing the effects of infantry fire during
the last two European wars, with the NUM-
'bers resting on analogous investigations be-
fore the introduction of the modern im-
movements. Thus in the early part Of this
century, when European infantry used To
blaze away at each other with smooth bore
muzzle leaders at a distance Of 80 yards,
the usual calculation was that one ball hit
in 100, or about six per 1000. When the
worst breech-loaders were opposed to the
hest muZzleloaders, as in 1866, the effects
of the former rose Just $50 per cent, as IN
stead of SIX the hits then become 10 to goo.
As soon, however, as breech-loader met
hreecb-loader, as in the FrancO-German
war. the hits fell back to the same point at
which they had stood in the days OF Brown
Ress and her sisters, or six per 1000. From
this it would appear that, great as has been
the revolution which improved arms have
introduced into the whole character Of
modern tactics, the actual amount OF de-
sfructjon, as far as infantry fire is concerned,
is very much the same as 1t was sixty years
ago,
