 Bitten by the No1ious Vermin-Iis
 Blood Poisoned and Loclktayv Appre-
 hended.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 28.-A young man who appeared to be enduring dreadful agony stag gered into Bellevue Hospital yesterday after noon. His eyes were starting from their sockets and his tongue hung from his mouth His head, right hand and right arm were ter ribly swollen. After great deal of trouble it was ascertained that he had been bitten by number of rats about the fingers of his right hand. He gave his name as Robert Car ter, 33 years of age, stableman by occupa- tion, and residing at No. 222 East Twenty-fourth street. Captain Kiernan, the clerk, on seeing the frightful con- dition of Carter, without delay led him into the third surgical ward A Aphysician was summoned, who, after an examination, gave his opinion that the man was suffering from rat poisoning and that he was in a crit ical condition. Fears were entertained by the surgeons that lockjaw would set in. Different antidotes were given to the pois- oned man without avail He was lying last night in an unconscious condition
 For some time past Carter noticed that sev- eral of his horses were annoyed by rats while eating at the feed box in the stable. Day af- ter day the animals were bitten about the mouth by the rats.

The Crusade Against the Hebrews-A
 Protest Against the AntI-JeyvIsh Sem
 timent.
 BERLIN, Nov. -2S.--One of His Maiesty's
 chaplains continues to hold anti -je wish meet ings notwithstanding the deplorable events which have recently taken place. Some six ty leading gentlemen of the capital have is sued manifesto in which they gravely cen- sure the agitation set on foot by this semi socialist preacher. The manifesto calls Herr Suckers agitation a most humiiating at tempt at.renewing medieval prejudices against Q class of citizens who in Germany have been specially distinguished for creditable achievements not only in commerce and trade, but also in every department of sci ence, art and politics. The manifesto pro- ceeds to point to the peculiarly disgracefu1 character of these doings when occurring in the country of Leasing and Kant and direct ed against the descendants of those who be- slowed the knowledge and worship of one God on the pagan world. In the concluding passage it is plainly said that if the masses should ever be affected by the envy and hatred of the preacher the only practical consequence would be despoilment and robbery, and this at time when all the many divisions formerly existing in Germany have been broken down in order to create unity. Amongst the names under this man. ifesto appear those of Herr Von Fercken- brock, the chief burgomaster of Berlin and many years speaker of the German Parlia- ment Herr Contrad, the president of the Berlin corporation of merchants, together with all the other non-Jewish members of the corporation; Prof. Mommsen, the rector of the Berlin University; Professors Guish, Veretow, Weber, Wattenbach, Draysen, Hoffman and Lerchhoff Herr Rickert, the leader of the Liberal party in the Prussian lower house; Dr. Warner Simens, PriYy Councillor; Engel, chief of the statistical board Rev. Dr. Lisco and many other emi- nent deputies, jurists, judges, clergymen and merchants.

A Water Famine-Iron Mills Obliged to
 Close.
 READING, Nov. 28.-An extensive water famine threatens east Pennsylvania. The long drought of the autumn, closely followed by intensely severe weather, closing all the streams and springs, is the cause. The Phil adelphia and Reading rolling mill, in this city, and many other iron industrial estab- lishments are closed in consequence Far mers are driving stock for miles to water, and water for household needs is hauled in barrels. Wells are dry for the first time in fifty years, and streams which were very low are ice-bound, threatening to remain so all winter unless there is thaw. The earth is very dry, and freezing hard. The anthracite coal country is suffering, and the extensive iron ore washeries must be shut down The SchuYlkin valley is also suffering more or less Water costs fifty cents barrel in many localities, counting the cost of labor to haul 1t. All grist mills woolen mills and forges dependent upon water for power must shut down, throwing hundreds out of employment The supply pipes furnishing this city from the leading sources are running no water and the citizens are alarmed at what may prove the worst famine they have yet experienced

who1e Fami1x Poisoned.

CHICAGO, Nov. 29.-Joseph Palinight, an Italian fruit vender living on West Randolph street with his family, are all sick, the parents being at death's door. The doctors say they are victims of trichinse spiraIa which they took into their system some three weeks ago by eating ham sausage, of which they were very fond A microscopical examination of piece of the sausage revealed myriads of the dangerous parasite. This sausage was purchased of Arnold Bros, butchers, who made them of apparently healthy meat by peculiar process, the hams being corned and mashed instead Of cooked. It is very palatable to Germans, Italians and foreigners generally The physicians say if heated to a boiling point all the parasites would be destroyed, but taken into the stomach in about six days they begin to multiply almost indefinitely. Old and young wander about and pierce the lining of the stomach with mil lions of infnitesimal holes. The result is in hammation, nausea and loss of appetite. When the parasites pass into the muscles and flesh they cause dull pain like that of rheuma- tism. The patient is unable to retain food on the stomach and finally dies of exhaustion. Nothing can arrest the progress of trich- inae after it leaves the intestines.

attOns Concerning America m Shipping.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S-One of the ablest
 reports to be submitted to the President this
 year Is that of the Secretary of the Navy
 The report deals with measures of the high
 est importance to the country. His recom- mendations for rebuilding the navy, apart from purely military view of the subject, are of vital concern to our commercial in- terestG The Secretary sets forth the facts In the case with great force, and contends that the only true plan of relief is by first supplying the necessary means to rebuild the navy so as to enable it to encourage toward what there is left of our merchant marine endeavoring to regain it's lost supremacy The Secretary makes special reference to the condition of this particular interest, and says that from 1920 to 1860 American ships carried over 81 per cent of the ocean com merce between our own and foreign ports, and our tonnage rose from 5, 900, GOO to 8O,- COG, ,000 since 1861. Through the effects of the rebellion this has decreased, and now stands about 30 per cent. freight and per cent. of passengers, and giving the American $500, 900, GOO and foreign ships $9OO, COG, 900 on freight and passengers in ten years He further adds that at the ratios stated the farmers, planters, manufacturers and all oth- CTS engaged in industries will soon be at the mercy of foreign ship owners who impose on them oppressive burdens, and drain of money which will soon ruin them.

 Loss of Life.
 DENVER, Nov. 28.-The Leadville ChronS- cze of Saturday says: Sixty laborers were buried yesterday in snow slide near Chalk creek, on the Kokoma extension of the Den yer and Rio Grande road. About Il o'clock a. m. they noticed the pine trees trembling, and in an instant the slide came with a loud roar, tearing up the track for about quarter of mile and burying sixty men. John Dine was killed and nineteen other men bad ly injured and eleven others slightly so The slide carried the track over the heads of the men, and most of the wounds were probably caused by the iron striking them.

The Contest for the spenkersh1p.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.-The Post this
 morning prints the following:
 The gossip about the Speakership of the
 next House grows in interest and importance
 as the members of Congress arrive The
 general drift of the talk narrows down the
 contest to two candidates, and the long list
 of possible candidates first mentioned are be- ing dropped one after the other for reasons which appear potent to everybody but the candidates themselves and their friends For instance, Mir. Frye, of Maine, who loomed up as 8 formidable competitor for the place, is said to be desirous of stepping into the Hon. Hannibal Hamlins shoes, and the prospect that his hopes will be realized is spoken of as highly encouraging But if this contingency should fail there is another circumstance which is thought to be sufficient to put MT. Frye out of the field This is the fact that he halls from New England and es- pecially the State of Maine, which has had the Speakership for three terms This dis poses of Mir. Frye. Then there is Mir. Con- ger of Michigan. To his door is laid the charge of Senatorial aspirations, and it is admitted by those well acquainted with the situation of affairs in Michigan that his tween the Bagley and the Baldwin factions is very bitter, and their strength is so evenly balanced that compromise candidate will undoubtedly result. Here lies Congers strength He will come in as a compromise candidate and it is thought will be elected There remain, according to this way of look ing at the matter, but two prominent candi- dates, Mir. Burrows of Michigan and Mr. Kasson of Iowa. The former gentleman is already on the ground The latter has re- turned to his diplomatic post in Austria.
