On Friday the following dispatch,
relative to the Garfield -Morey letter
of last election campaign, was sent
to the country: A nolle pros was yes
terday entered in the case against
kenward Philip, Charles A Byrne,
Louis f. Post and Joseph Hart, in
dicted for forgery of the Morey let
ter Philip arose and said feeling
sure of his innocence after the indig-
mites he had suffered, he thought his
acquittal should come from a jury
after fair trial. On the prelimina-
ry examination the district attorney
had publicly said he had overwhelm-
ing evidence as to the guilt of the
man who wrote the letter, and then
and since he has been held up before
the public rs the writer, and he now
wanted that averment denied. Dis
trict Attorney Rollins said for the
purpose of having it recorded: Il
am thoroughly impressed with the
conviction that the forgery of the
Morey letter was a public crime of
exceptional gravity, and that whoever
perpetrated j. Or connived at it, or
was malciously or willfully concern
ed in its publication, is deserving of
severe punishment. But in the alb
sence Of evidence sufficient to show
that the defendants were parties to
the forgery, or had guilty knowledge
that it was forgery at the time they
published it, l am unwilling to pros
ecute this Indictment" The entry
was made and the case dismissed.

A TRAVELLER from the East says !;
THE Suez Canal is changing the eli
mate of the Red Sea and the Indian
Ocean. Alden, which is at the mouth
of that sea, enjoyed the other day a
regular rain storm, the first that has
occurred there in thirty-two centuries.
Showers fall in Alden on the average
once in three years, but they are puny'
sickly affairs. The late storm nooa.
ed the country and frightened the
natives, who had never seen a genu-
inc rain before, out OF their WITS
Ever since the Suez Canal has been
dug the climate of Western Arabia
has been modifying. and rains have
become more and more frequent,
ewing to a change of current and
winds"

GENERAL ITEMS,

A solid mountain of ine red, brown
and white sandstone has been discover
ed near Reagan, Texas, on the Texas
and Pacific Railroad Experts pronoIncs
the stone to be equal to any in America.
An aeectionate father in New York
was about to rob his son Of his coat
during one of the coldest days of the
past winter, with the intention of pawn
ing it for liquor. when he was arrested
and sent to BlackwelPs Island foz three
months.
George Birmingham lived il Afkan-
sas, and was prospective heir to farm
after the death of four persons. He
| became tired waiting, ard started of
to remove the distractions to bis title,
but was arrested after committing one
of the murders, and the remaining
three we're promptly relieved of the
danger which threatened them.
On Tuesday a week, while Mr.. Nc
Coy, from Gonzales, and his party were
penuing some cattle near Fort Ewell,
Texas, one Wright with his party rode
up. Wright shot and killed Mccoy,
whose party fed, leaving the field in
the hands of the Wright party. A man
uamed Petit was found dead in the
lake some days ago, and James Moore
is supposed to have been killed. They
belonged to the Wright party, which
has instituted reign of terror through
out that section.
The death of a boy at Decker, In
diana, who was suffering from rheu-
matism, was not caused by the intel
ligent drug clerk. His parents had
no faith in the doctors prescriptions,
and gave the patient homemade
sulphur bath. They seated him in q
chair, piled feather beds over him,
and burned lot of birthstone tinder-
meath. When they thought the dis
ease was smoked out the covering was
removed, but it was too late; the
the poor fellow had been smothered
to death.
1t is hard to believe, and yet it was
telegraphed to the New York World
from Worthington, Iowa, that a storm
at that place on Friday afternoon, the
18th inst, lifted the barn of John Pit
man, containing six horses, and car
ried it distance of half a mile with
out injury to the horses; and also
that two barns belonging to r. Baker
were blown distance of two miles,
but whether the latter contained any
horses or not is more than we can
say. 1t was certainly stiff breeze,
though very considerate one.
Ida Kelly, of Itasoa, Mimi, sent a
note to her lover, Sol Greismer, with
whom she had quarreled, asking him
to come on a certain night and elope
with her. Sol. was elated by the idea
of marrying her, partly because he
wished to triumph over her parents,
who had opposed the match. He was
under her window with a ladder at
midnight. She came down, dressed
as though for journey, and kissed
him. They sat down, at little dis
tance from the house, and discussed
the question which direction to take.
Ida was in Soils lap, with one arm
thrown about his neck, when with the
disengeged hand, che cut his throat
with razor. Havin gmurdered him,
as she supposed, she ran back to her
bed; but She wound was not mortal
1t is conjectured that she intended
his death to be attributed to suicide,
as she was careful to regain the letter
which had lured him.

An exhange, writing of the effect
of alcohol upon the brain, Gays -
when brain substance is placed In
alcohol it loses its water and its mo-
bility of particles, and becomes more
solid and firm. The question here
arise: Is this possible with the living
brain? Is it possible, tasks the Pop
uiar Science .Monthly) that in cases OF
delirium tremens, so much alcohol
has been CONSUMED that by its diffu-
sion through the brain it has robbed
nerve-matter Of its mobile character,
and consequently of its power to
throw off the products of its life
functions? That alcohol may in this
way act on the brain of the inebriate
is an opinion which, as yet, can hard
ly be demonstrated directly, but ex-
periments made seem to render it
highly probable Brain substance
derived from an OK was placed in a
diluted solution of alcohol at the
temperature of the blood, viz, 100
degrees Farenheit. When the liquid
was drawn out after few hours, and
filtered, the fltrate threw down q
white deposit of matter which the
alcohol had dissolved out of the
brain.

In regard to the Raber murder IN
Lebanon county, dispatch, under
date of the 18th inst, from Lebanon,
SAYS: One year ago Charles Drew,
Frank Stichter, Henry Wise, Israel
Brandt and Josiah Hummel were
hanged for the murder of Joseph Ra-
Der in the northern portion OF Leba-
non county in order to secure the
insurance money ON his life, amount
ing to $1,000. An important sequel
has Just been made public in the con-
fession of Brandt and Hummel, two
of the conspirators, who requested
their spiritual adviser, Rev. George
F. Trabert, and counsel, Colonel j. p.
S. Goblin, not to furnish the same for
publication until one year after their
death. Brandt was the hotel keeper
at whose inn the conspirators met and
conceived their scheme. He charges
that the project was broached by Hen
~ Wise, who effected the assurances
on Raber's life, and that George Zech-
man, who was tried and acquitted,
was the most active one in carrying
out what Wise had planned. Brandt s
reason for requesting that his con-
fession be withheld was that it impli-
Gated Zechman, and hence he desired
delay of year in its publication.
Hummel states that Wise was the in
stigator of the scheme and used his
utmost endeavors to interesG others
in the project. Zechman met Hum
mel at Wise's house and made ar
rangements for the insuring of Raber
and then working him out of the
way. Five persons had insurances
On Raber's life and Drew was the
man selected to do the job. Zech-
man and Wise sent Hummel to Drew S
house to order the killing of Raber
upon a certain day, but he failed to
find Drew at home On the next
day Hummel went TO Brandt's and
asked the latter whether Drew would
do the deed and was told that it
would be done that week. Drew
wanted 1,500 for drowning Raber,
but the sum was considered too high,
and Hummel felt that as far as he
was concerned the project was aban-
doned. Zechman, the only one of
the six conspirators who escaped the
law, five having suffered the penalty
of death, is now engaged in farming
in Upper Bern township, Berks
county.

Can this be true! "Pasteur states
that. at a farm near Senlis, cattle
which had died of carbuncular fever
twelve years ago were buried at a
certain spot within walled garden.
Some specimens of the soil were after
that lapse of time lixiyiated and con
centrated, and some guinea pigs in
occulated with the matter thus OBJ
tanned died soon afterward, develop
ing all OF the well Unmarked symptoms
of carbuncle. Seven sheep were al
lowed to pass a few hours a day at
