lican national executive committee

Avenue hotel. The meeting was

of the other southern states.
The session of the democratic

AFGHANISTAN.

LONDON, Aug. 6.-The Times, in
its military intelligence column, this
morning, says the troops going to
India will be one thousand strong.
The force will be composed of three
companies from Chatham, three
from Portsmouth and three from
Plymouth. The Chatham party will
sail tomorrow. The Indian troop
ship, Euphrates, will sail tomorrow
with reinforcements.
The Times this morning saws the
news that Ayoob Khan was, up to
the first inst, at Sanghar shows
that he had retreated a short dis
tance and there is, therefore, little
fear of his pressing Gen. Primrose
hard before the arrival of Pharere-
both, of England, and the Indian
reinforcements are being energeti-
cally dispatched, and six battalions
of infantry and three battalions of
artillery will soon be passing
through the Suez canal. Without
counting the recent additions, the
total number Of troops occupied by
the Afghan war is 10000, of whom
10000 are within the the frontiers of
Afghanistan.
In the house Of commons this af-
ternoon Marquis Harrington, secre-
tary of state for India, replying to
inquiries said the government had
no information Of any special ex-
citement among the Mahommadians
in India. Doubtless he said,
"they watch with great anxiety the
course of events in the east. He
read a telegram from Cubul dated
the 4th inst, which says: "The
Candahar forces will march Satur-
day and the remainder of the army
will leave Cubul for Gundeamuk
Tuesday or Wednesday next.

DIR. TANNER.

New York, Aug. 6.-Dr. Tan
ner entered upon the last day of
his fast at noon. His pain is in
tense, and ever since last night
every move he makes either ins
duces emesis or causes evictions of
gas from his stomach. A chem
ical analysis Of the fluid from his
stomach, it is claimed, shows that
the fast has been honestly con-
Quoted. Every hour he walks around
the enclosure without assistance,
that spectators may see him. At 1
o'clock a. n. he was quite sick.
Fifteen minutes later he was lying
On his cot with his knees drawn
up to his stomach. He asked his
watchers to notice his breathing,
without giving his reasons therefor.
His respiration was found to be IA
to the minute and natural. He fell
asleep again, but soon after made an
effort to vomit, but brought up only
a small quantity Of matter. After
an hours sleep he again drew him
self up in heap. He soon after
had another attack Of nausea, vom~
iting mucus and water. The sug-
gestion that mustard plaster be
put on his stomach was secuted by
the doctor, who said nothing would
relieve his discomfort but beef, wine
and iron. He remained quiet
and comfortable until near
Z o'clock when be elected two
ounces Of water tinged with
bile from his stomach. He was
given a drink at 8:15, two and a-half
ounces Of water being administered,
which was the probable cause of
another attack of nausea and sick
ness. A mustard foot bath made
him quite comfortable again, hows
ever. At 10 o'clock he drank four
ounces of water, and then, deseends
ing to the lower hall, walked one
lap around it. He repeated his Pc
destrian performance at II and II
o'clock, and in the interval drank
three more ounces of water. At noon
he declared his condition good. Two
proposals of marriage and an offer
from Chicago lyceum manager for
the doctor to lecture through the
western states were among his morn
ing mail. A very large crowd was
in attendance.

YELLOW FEVER.

New ORLEANS, Aug. 5.-Dr. S
L, TroWbridge, U, S. Consul at
Vera Cruz, in a letter to the quar-
antine officers of New Orleans,
dated July 23rd, says: "For the in>
formation Of your honorable body,
as well as for the satisfaction
of the citizens of New Or
leans and facilities in commerce,
L take this opportunity of res
porting the high sanitary condition
of Vera Cruz At the present date
there is no case of yellow fever,
small pox or any of the diseases
catalogued by the national board of
health, as contagious or communis
cable in this city, nor is there on
the records of the civil register any
death from them for this year to
date: The death rate from all
diseases is less than has been re-
corded for any half year since my
sojourn in Vera Cruz, now eleven
years. In all that time vigilant Of
tcers of the board of health of
Vera Cruz, assisted by the authori-
ties, have labored intelligently and
kept the city clear and healthy and
L do not expect to be successfully
contradicted when I say that this is
and has been one of cleanest cities in
the world.

HORRIBLE CRIME OF A
MOTHER.

NEW YORK, Aug. GA special
from Americus, Ga, gives the fol-
lowing particulars of crime com.
mitted in Webster county, twenty
miles west of that place, On the
evening of August 4th. 1t states
that Woodson L. Gunnells, well.
to-do farmer, left home tc
visit sick neighbor, and
returning at 10 p. m, found
his wife and nine of ten small chill
dren in a horrible sleep from the eff,
fects of morphia administered in
lemonade by Mrs. Gunnells. There
is no doubt that she prepared the
fatal beverage and administered il
to the children and drank it herself
with fatal intent. Mr.. Gunnells
was married to this, his second wife
seven years ago, and has by her four
children; the other six are by &
previous wife, and as far as known
the stepmother has been dutifu'
and kind parent to them. Mrs
Gunnells is from a highly respecta'
BILE family. A note in the hand
writing of Mrs. Gunnells was found
under the morphia bottle, in which
she stated that she had deliberately
administered the morphia to the
children and herself with the inten-
ton of destroying them all, and
that she was not actuated by any
domestic trouble. Owing to the
lapse of time before medical aid
arrived, Mrs. Gunnell's case
was hopeless. She lay on
her back in bed in
an unnatural sleep, produced by the
fatal drug, and all efforts of the
physicians and sympathising friends
to restore her were futile. The
children's case was not so hopeless,
and by the unceasing efforts of the
physicians, some of them showed
signs of returning consciousness.
All of the step>children and some
of the younger children are now
thought out of danger. The young.
est, an infant of few months, was
saved by the fact that the mother
could not introduce enough fluid
down its little throat to destroy life.
Probably three of the children will
die. These three are presumed to
have drank more freely of the dead
ly poison than the others.
The dispatch concludes: Gail
the evidence taken negatives tie
idea of insanity, and points directly
to cool, deliberate determination
on the part of the hitherto euiet,
kind hearted lady to take away her
own life and that of her family, and
at the same time conceal from the
world the cause of her act.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Aug. s.
The opinion of Chief Justice Waite
and Judge Bond in the case of
Calvin Claflin and others against the
South Carolina railroad company
was filed in the United States circuit
court to-day. The opinion holds
that all the hypothecated bonds are
good; that the non mortgage bonds
are not entitled to the benefit of a
lien of second mortgage and are
an unsecured claim against the
company; that the first mort
gage coupons held by the syndicate
were purchased by them, not re-
deemed, and ale entitled to benefits
of mortgage; that the injunction
previously granted shall continue in
force until further testimony as to
amounts of several liens on the road
can be taken. In conclu-
sion, the opinion says com
plainants are entitled to sale
of the mortgaged property subject
to ascertained prior encumbrances,
but until such decree is prepared
the injunctions heretofore issued
shall remain in force. The opinion,
therefore, sustains the defendants in
the case upon the points named,
excepting as to granting sale, and
the status of non-mortgage bonds as
unsecured debts, on which two points
the views of the plaintiffs prevail.
