A CURIOUS CASE
A Locomotive Enginssr Dying from

Yeare Ago.


A Locomotive Engineer Dying from
Wounds which Healed UD Fifteen
Years Ago.
Canton, O., September 30.-Mr. Jacob
Reese. aged about fifty years, islying at
the point OF death at his residence on
Tenth street, this city. Mr.. Reese is
locomotive engineer by profession, but
has not followed that vocation for sew
eral years. Twenty years ago last month,
be was injured in Q collision on a rail.
road near youngstown, his engine
falling on him and fracturing both legs.
He soon recovered from hin injuries,
but lew years ago wasgreatIy troubled
by pains in one OF his limbs. The bone
seemed diseased. This was very strange,
as his limbs had all seemed sound for
fifteen years. The pains continued, but
he was finally relieved by surgical
operation.
A few months ago the other limb was
attacked in similar manner, and, after
consultation, the physicians told Mr..
Reese that aurputation of the limb was
necessary in order to save his life. He
refused to have the amputation per-
formed, declaring that he would rather
suffer death. He has suffered a thou
sand deaths since, his sufferings being
such as to cause many people to dread
calling to see him. Several watchers
have tainted while attending to him.
The bones OF his leg are decaying, and
the hesh is gangrenous. The surgeons
have performed several operations, near.
ly cutting his leg in two, but all to no
purpose. MIR. Reese steadfastly refuses
to have the limb amputated, and his
death Is expected at any moment. Tho
case is attracting considerable attention
among the medical fraternity,

A very clever theory is that il such
dernierressort is to come, that Grant, and
not Garfield, will be wanted at the
helm. Garfield has not the moral cour-
age to meet the storm which such pro.
ceeding would bring about. A victory
thus snatched from the Democrats
would not be tamely acquiesced in, and
q leader would be wanted with nerve,
courage and decision of character. That
such scheme is in contemplation OF
course would not be admitted now. On
the contrary, il would be ridiculed even
by Republicans themselves; but the
presence OF such leaders as have just
visited Garfield is not believed to have
been for social intercourse only. These
leaders are no hypocrites, and Garfield
knows they have no desire to call on
him to either patronize him or ask ia
vors. They mean business every time.
The visit, at all events, has caused a
great deal OF comment, and suggested
numerous reflections that the Republi-
cans are planning way to save them
selves from utter ruin. II Garfield
should be withdrawn, Grant could be
placed at the head Of the ticket by the
action of the National Republican Com
mittee, and majority of that Commit
tee wish he were now leading the battle.

Der 1881. The most important event
Of the afternoon session was Rev. Her
rick Johnson's discussion OF the method
Of securing a strong ministry. He
argued that there must be a deep con-
viction that a call to the ministry is
directly and decidedly from God, and
that none should enter the pulpit who
feel that they can stay out. He said
the cry Of too many ministers was pre-
posterous; that was q matter OF Gods
law, not Of arithmetic. The evening
session was devoted exclusively to dis.
cussing the progress Of religion among
the heather.

A CELEBRATED CASE,
Involving Fourteen Hundred
Acres of Land in st. Louis.

WASHINGTON, September 30.-Com.
missioner Williamson, OF the General
Land Office, to .day made report to the
Secretary Of the Interior on the cele-
brated Chauvin land claim case. The
claim embraces about fourteen hundred
acres of land in the suburbs OF St. Louis,
Mo-, and has been pending before the
Department for fifty years. Comnis'
sioner Williamson's action does not
finally dispose OF the case, as it now goes
to the Secretary Of the Interior. The
Commissioner reports in favor OF the
survey made in 1879, known as the
"Salamon survey" but while entertain
ing the opinion that the Chauvin grant
is properly located by the Salamon sur
vey, he does not approve it, because he
finds barrier to that course in the adj
verse opinion of the former Secretary OF
the Interior relative to another survey
OF the same land.

ATLANTA, GA, September 3O.-The
body of a man has been found in the
woods near Adamsville, Fulton county,
under circumstances pointing to MUIR
der and robbery. The bones Of the arms,
legs and head were stripped OF flesh by
dogs and crows and lay scattered around.
A small cord was around the mans
neck and a similar piece was found tied
to small tree, about two feet from the
ground. In the shoes of the dead man
were found his feet, which, being out OF

be eaten. He is believed to be a jewelry
peddler. who passed through the place
two weeks ago.

THE CALL,

And What the Guests Did During Their
stay-Garheid, Grant, Conkling and
Logan "ao Up STAIRS to Smoke"
CLEvKLAND, September 30.-Concern-
ing the meeting of Stalwarts at Gar
fields home Tuesday night, many things
have come to light that are not all rel
ished by the Republicans A Cleveland
reporter approached Garfield at his home
while he was waiting for Grant, Conk-
ling and Logan, and said:
General Grant, Conkling nor Logan
did allude to you in their speeches to-
day, and as the matter is likely to excite
comment / ventured to speak to you
about it."
The news was
Evidently Unpleasant to Garfield,
but he passed il off by saying that he
didn't know anything about it, and i'm
mediately stepped in out OF the cold.
At half-past eight o'clock the party
arrived, and DIR. Robinson, with much
ostentation, assisted them from their
carriages. Grant first shook Garfield's
hand. Then Logan took hand in both,
with about as much formality as il it
was their first meeting with the Men,
torite. Then proud Roscoe, with his
head high in air and his gloves on,
reached out his hand. Garfield looked
like bdshf,d school boy, and humbly ex-
claimed, in tones that lacked heartiness:
Senator, 1 am indeed glad to see you.'
Conkling, with all the grace and formal
ity OF a society caller, replied: "Gen-
eral, am glad to see you in your
home"
Garfield presented the guests to his
wife and mother.in-law, and the instant
he was at liberty he stepped behind
Conkling, and, approaching Ames Town
send with look OF anxiety on his face,
Whispered Something in His Ear.
The latter replied With much emphasis.
apparently telling him that it was all
right after all.
The guests went up stairs to lay off
their coats, and Conkling stopped at the
head of the stairs to converse with
Grant, closing with some sarcastic re-
mark that made the latter smile grimly.
Townsend tackled Conkling as he came
down stairs, and conversed in an ami.
mated manner, but Conkling, who
seemed hardly to agree with him, shook
his head occasionally.
After lunch Garfield led Grant, Conk-
ling and Logan upstairs. What was
said in the remarkably short space OF
time that they were absent will perhaps
remain unknown. Grant said to press
reporter that 1t was not political con-
ference, but that they went up merely
to smoke.

THURMAN's OPINION.

Republicans on the hun in Indiaua-A
Democratic Triumph Assured-The Sit
uation In Ohio-The "Business Mems
Scare"
COLUMBUS, September Ex-senator
Thurman has just returned from his
campaign tour in Indiana In an inter-
view to-day he said:
"The situation in Indiana is encourag-
ing in the highest degree. Mr.. Hen
bricks, Senator Mcdonald, Mr.. Landers
and all the Democratic leaders, who
know the people as well as any men
know them, and who are able to form
better judgments than outsiders, say
there is and can be no doubt OF Demo-
cratic success. My own observations
confirm their positive assurances"
"Are the people stirred up?" the Sem
ator was asked.
"They are being induced and are be-
ing talked to as no other people ever
were since the world began. There are
More than Two Thousand Meetings
Week.
Both sides are putting forth every effort,
butthe Democrats have the Republicans
on run. / didn't speak with single
Democrat i'm the State but that could
name Republicans who were going to
vote for Hancock. Nothing but cheating
or corrupt use Of money can take lndi.
ana from the Democrats, and l do not
believe that the honest people OF the
State will tolerate such thing or per-
NIT it to be DONE"
The Prospectsin Ohio.
In response tn an inquiry as to what
he thought OF the Democratic prospects
in Ohio Senator Thurman said:
"The Republicans are defeated in Ohio
to-day. 1t is simply a question of wheth-
or they can save themselves by the free
use OF money for the next two weeks or
by injecting false and fraudulent issues
into the campaign. l do not believe
they can.
The Business Mems Scare.
"This so-called business mems scare Is
bosh and stale trick of party leaders
repeated oeer and over again. 1t is de-
serving only of ridicule. Business Is
not the creature OF party politics in this
country. 1t is too great to be infiuenc..
ed by q change Of parties. 1t runs and
regulates itself by its own inherent
force, greater than parties or party pol.
itics. 1t can't be affected by the defeat
or election of any man or set OF men.
To attempt to harness it to the Repuo-
lican car shows that Republican leaders
are not statesmen, but demagogues.
The whole movement is beneath the
contempt OF intelligent men. The only
evil that can happen to the business
men of the country is to be thus mis-.
represented to serve the purposes OF
politicians in whom the public have lost
confidence"
Democrats here are giving odds in
their bets on Indiana and on the elec-
ton of Hancock.

Order and Life, "in which he considered
the relation OF order to life In general,
and especially the relation OF ecclesias.

tiana The essay was Q plea for high
intellectual culture for the strengthen.
ing OF the Presbyterian ministry apart
from the regular duties of the pastorate.
In discussing the subject, Rev. DR..
Calderwood took issue with DR.. John
son and said: "The law of supply and
demand does apply to the supply Of
candidates for the ministry, and It will
continue to 30 supply
Do or Say What You win"
DR.. Calderwood added that in Scot
land, where nothing is known OF sup.
porting candidates during their study,
there are candidates that the church
knows what to do with. He thought
the one great key to supply Is the min.
istry itself. II the ministry is consecra.
ted to the preaching Of the gospel As the
one work that is the noblest that can
engage human effort, the young lie all
around will catch the infection.
