JOHN MARTIN, THE '.IRIsH Pc.


New York Herald
A cable telegram of March 30, an
nOunced the death of John Martin,
member of Parliament for Meath. He
had been ailing for some time past, and
became seriously i'll in consequence Of
the excitement produced by the recent
death of John Mitchell, who was his
brOther-n-law.
John Martin was born in Loughorne,
in the county Of Down, Ireland, on the
Sth Of September, 1872, and was con-
sequently sixty-three years of age at
the time of his demise. He was the
eldest son of Samuel Martin and Jane
Harshaw, both natives of the neighbor-
hood and members of Presbyterian
families settled there for many genera
tons. About the time of his birth
his father purchased the fee
simple of the large farm which
he had previously rented, and two Of
his uncles having made similar invest +.
ments, the families became prOprietors
of the town land on which they lived.
When young Martin attained his
twelfth year he was sent to the school
of DR.. Henderson, at Newry, where he
first became acquainted with John
Mitchell, then attending the same semi
nary as q day scholar. HI -.ext
studied as an extra student Of Trinity,
College, Dublin, and a year after the
death Of his father took out his degree
in arts. In 1888, being then, at the
age Of twenty years, he took up his
residence in Dublin and devoted him
self TO the study of medicine. He sub
sequently made extended tours In
America and on the Continent, having
meanwhile succeeded to the family
property In LOughorne. On the Occa-
sion Of the seizure by the British Gov
eminent Of John Mitchel's newspaper,
in 1913, Mr.. Martin, who up to that
time had not presented himself promi-
nently In Irish politics, stepped
forward while the bOldest seemed
paralyZed, and assumed the response
bility Of supplying the place of the ex-
tinguished United IriShnsaIl, by starting,
at his own expense, the Irish FeLOR.
Of course, his paper was soon seized IN
turn, and he himself arrested, tried
and sent to keep company with Mitchell
in Van Dieman's Land, where he spent
six years IN enforced exile. Since his
return to Ireland his history has been
that of the national agitation. But
for his unceasing efforts even the
Home Rule movement would not stand
to-day in the position it occupies. In
the year 1868 Mr.. Martin married the
youngest sister Of John Mitchell, and
IN the same year he and Mrs. Mar
tin sailed for New York on a visit to
their friends in the United States and
Canada. 1t was during Mr.. Martins
absence the memorable LOnGford cleo
ton took place, which brought him out
prominently for a seat in the British
Paliamant. In December, 1869, Mr.. |
Martin was elected to Parliament from
Meath, and took his seat in the House
of Commons, where, though he never
cast a vote, even his opponents ac-
knowledged that upon any question
that concerned the honor or welfare of |
his native land, he was the Member
for all Ireland

The rasoally extravaganza in the

Robson Is well Illustrated in the re-
cent voyage Ct the POwhatan, Just re-

lancous cargo Of assorted merchandise
which WI pay no duties. 1t was de-

Lisbon to replace the stupid old Admi-
raj Case. In England when such
changes OF command are made, the Of
fcers travel like other people, by regu-
lar lines of public transportation,
if practicable, entailing but a
tridiag expense. This, however,
would not suit the prodigal Secor,
and So the side-wheel steamship Pow
hatan was despatched at an enormous
cost to the country. For the voyage
over 1900 tons Of coal were required,
costing from five 10 seven dollars per
ton, and this was but a single item Of
the expenditure. On the way home the
Powhatan was for three hours taking
wine over her sides at Medeira, and the
friends Of Robson, hIeasurer Babcock,
Boss Grant, and other influential peO-
pie viii doubtless have opportunity to
test the quality Of the cargo. But surely
they might make their smuggling ex-
petition less expensive to the country
than that Of the Powhatan.

TIKI; BLACK HILLS.
E,roa. Jenny ut C.leyenne-What he Says
Of the New EldOradO.

CHEYENNE, W. T., Oct. 16.-Prof. Walter
B. Jenny, chief of the geologist expedition
to the Black Hills, and assistants, returned
here to-day. He spent five months III the
hills, and made thorough examination OF
the whole country, and mapped it from Belle
Fourch to the south fork of the Cheyenne
river. He reports gold fields extending forty
miles north from Harney's Peak, and twenty
miles wide, that contain gold in quantities
that will pay from $3 to $5 per day to the
man; that there are bars in a number of
streams that will pay much more than that.
The water supply is ample for working pur-
poses, and the fall sufficient to carry water
from the top Of most of the bars, and all of
the tailings to be readily disposed of. The
gold is coarse scale, good, and easily separ-
ated from the gravel and sand. The Profess
sor has with him an ounce of coarse gold that
two men obtained in Spring creek with 10
hours labor. An assay of this gold shows it
to be $40 fne-worth $40 43 coin to the
ounce.
Prof. Jenny corroborates Gen. Custer's re-
port concerning the hills, and says they will
support thousands of men when the govern
ment opens them for settlement. The val
leys are all adapted to agriculture, and the
hills and canyons to stock raising. The rain
fall is plentiful, and the timber abundant.
His official report will be made from New
York, probably before Congress meets.

A COLD WINTER.
Changes Of Climate-A Cold Winter Pre-
dicted, Etc.
New York Times, 15th.]

New York Times, 15th.]
Every one remembers how prolonged and
intense was the cold of last winter. Such
weather had not been known in this city for
many years. The East and North rivers
were bridged over by the ice, water-pipes
were frozen in nearly every house in the city,
and the clouds contracted a confirmed habit
of showing upon the slightest provocation,
which they kept up until late in the spring.
The weather affected commerce, comfort,
and the temper of the people. Men noted
for their geniality looked gloomily al. the coal
dealers, and gentle women expressed fierce
longngs to kill plumber. Many sanguine
souls found consolation in predicting that the
extreme cold would be made up to us by the
excessive heat of the next summer; but they
were signally disappointed. Rather less than
the usual amount of the solar heat was served
out to us in July, while cold rains occurred
with daily regularity all through the month
to ignore the probability that we are to have
another winter which will be quite as cold
and at least as long as that of last year. The
signs all point in that direction. September
was cool, and October so far has been nm
comfortably chilly. The weather bureau
daily predicts, with depressing monotony,
areas of low barometer, and cloudy weather,
with falling temperature. That our winters
are growing longer, and our summers shorter
and cooler, has been noted for some years,
and the change had marked influence upon
animal and vegetable life. 1t is idle to spec
ulate as to the cause of the climatic change
which has brought about these results. Very
probably the early frosts of the present au-
tumn saved US from an epidemic of yellow
fever. If so, that fact alone ought to recon-
cile us to the discomforts of chilly October,
and enable us to bear with fortitude the cold
and plumbers of the approaching winter.

The Transactions of the Indiana State
Medical Society, 1875, contain a report on
trichinosis, by DR.. George Sutton, of Aurora,
Indiana, which contains the following alarm
ing observations:
From microscopic examination of pork
killed in Southeastern Indiana, we have found
from three to sixteen per cent. of the hogs
affected with trichina, the number of hogs
diseased varying greatly in different locali-
ties.
''That over five millions of hogs are slaugh-
tered and packed in the Western States, not
including those which are put up for family
use by the farmers that if four per cent. of
this pork is diseased, which we believe to be
a low estimate, we have two hundred and
twenty-one thousand four hundred and eighty
four diseased hogs put annually upon the
market; or, at an average of two hundred
pounds to the hog, forty millions two
hundred and ninetysx thousand eight hun
dred pounds of diseased meat, every ounce
of which, under favorable circumstances, is
capable of producing disease.
THAT from the cases of trichinosis that
came under our observation, and the post
mortem examinations, and the effects upon
the dog that was fed upon diseased meat we
have come to the conclusion that ninety per
cent. of disease produced from eating trichin-
Gus pork appears either as gastro-entlrltls, or
as a diarrhGa or dysentery, and not more
than ten per cent. as the fully developed form
Of trichinosis, in which the muscular system
becomes affected.
"That as diarrhea, dysentery, and enteritis
rank high as causes of mortality in the United
States, these diseases causing thirty-one thou
sand one hundred and tifty-three deaths in
1870, as shown by the last census reports;
and as we have seen that a large amount of
trchinous pork, capable of producing these
diseases, is among the principal articles of
food in our country; we think it more than
probable that trichinH have q much greater
influence in the etiology of this class of dis
eases than has been recognized by the pro-
fessiOn.
''That it is highly probable that, when the
fact becomes more generally known that SO
large percentage of pork is swarming with
trichina, capable of producing disease, it
may have an effect upon the use of this meat,
and consequently affect the sale, to some ex-
tent, of one of the principal articles of CON-
merce in the West"

UnShelled Corn.

Corn loses one-fifth by drying, and wheat
One-fourteenth. From this the estimate is
made that it is more profitable for the farmer
to sell unshelled corn in the fall at Is cents
than at 81 bushel in the following summer;
and that wheat al 81. .25 in December is equal
to $1.55 in the succeeding June. In cases of
potatoes-taking those that rot and are other
wise lost-together with the shrinkage, there
is little doubt that between October and June
the loss to the owner who holds them is not
less than 33 per cent
