TWO BRUTAL BURGLARS.
They Bind a Young Lady and Stab
Her in the Face and Body.

Thomas F. Egan, a printer. living at
15S East Fourth street, New York, went
out with his wife Saturday night leaving
their niece, Miss .Nelsle Cunninghs m,
aged nineteen, alone in the house. Soon
after two burglars entered the parlor,
and when Miss Cunningham screamed
one ruffian stuffed handkerchief in her
mouth and the other bound her with a
clothes line. Having tied her so she
could not move, they removed the
handkerchief, threatening to kill her
if she made noise. They then de-
manded information as to where Mrs.
Egan's jewels and money were, but Miss
Cunningham refused to tell them, when
one of the rufians struck her in the
face. Still exasperated by her refusal
to answer their questions the other
burglar stabbed her several times in the
arms, face and hands with a penknife.
The lady became insensible, when the
robbers, fearing they had killed her, fled.
Miss Cunningham was found in a state
of insensibility by her uncle and aunt.
Sunday she became partly paralyzed and
was unable to speak The police ar
rested John r. Camp, man of bad
reputation, and Miss Cunningham re-
cognlzed him as one of her assailants.
They have clue to the other.

The trouble in the Cincinnati Repub.
lican camp where the differences of the
German and the Prohibition Republi-
cans have split the party upon the nomi-
nation for Mayor, is the natural result
of the sheltering of two antagonistic
elements in one fold. 1t is not the first
outbreak of the kind nor will it be the
last. The trouble will eventually spread
throughout the country and become a
factor in other than city elections. For
years the Republican managers have
cOntriEed to hold both these factions by
always promising and never doing aught
for either, but the increasing size of the
German Republican element has made
it holder and more aggressive, and it now
takes occasional opportunity TO dictate
affairs in the party. This rouses the
Prohibition Republicans, and split, as
in Cincinnati, is the inevitable result.

Petrifed Sea Foam.

Editor MerRiRg Nesos; One of our geo.
logically informed citizens mentioned to
me the other day that he had found in
one of the piles of ballast on the Bay,
west of the Exchange, two or three pieces
of this rare petrifaction, and that he was
satisfied there were more pieces in the
pile. If so, some lucky fellow may find
"a nugget" when the stones shall be re-
moved, as lapidaries value them highly
as singular gems, when cut, polished
and set. The first mention of this
curious mineral is found in the ''Epodes
Of Kratos," 16, Lib. iv, in which he
sings the birth of Venus Aphrodite, who
was created from the foam of the sea,
according to old GrecIan mythology; q
poetical legend crystallized by the ia
nous statue of "Venus rising from the
Sea, carved from block of this pecu-
liar calcareous composite, by the cele-
brated sculptor Praxiteles. These
stones are found on shores near which
are banks of the anthoid mollusks,
known in the animal kingdom as poisson
daniel, which, like its protoplssm, the
oyster, creates its own rough shell, and
the delicate pearl within. First found
on the Island of Cytheres, Verne dis
covered, subsequently, fine specimens of
this rare and beautiful lapis on the
southern coasts of Australia, in the
Corea, and in the Sandwich Islands. on
his first voyage around the world in 1896.
Since, it has been found, it is said, in the
West India islands. When cut and pol.
ished with oval face, and clear set, the
gem refracts the light, exhibiting beau
tifully the primary colors, while from
the centre ray is reflected as brilliant
as the CLEAN OF the diamonds phe-
nomenon seen by surf bathers on a
bright sunny day in the sea foam on the
beach. AS the gem has rarely if ever
been seen in Savannah l suggested to my
friend to leave his specimens on exhibi
ton in the Georgia Historical Library,
which he thanked me for, and said that
he would do so this morning. 1t will

DEATH OF A NOBLE INDIAN CHIEF
John Chupco, Chief of the Seminoles,
one of the five civilized tribes of the In
dian Territory, died on the 18th of Feb
ruary last, at Wewoka, the capital of the
Seminoles, of pneumonia, in his sixtieth
year. John Chupco, or Long John, as
his fellow-soldiers in the Union army
used to call him, was born in Florida.
and came West after the surrender of
the Seminoles under Billy Bowlegs, John
Jumper and other noted Chiefs, in the
early part of 1850. He was Princi-
pal Chief of the Seminole Ma.
ton continuously during the last fif-
teen years, and a protesting Christian.
He was like father to his people, wise
in the council, the friend of the widow
and fatherless. and earnest in the wor-
ship of God, When the rebellion broke
out, he wisely and periodically joined
the Union forces, and served all during
the war, amid great suffering to his peo-
pie, who were driven from their country
by the Confederate forces. Physically,
he was one of the finest specimens of his
race-six feet seven inches tall, straight
as an arrow, and of dignified and courte-
GUS bearing. In him the people have
lost one Of their best friends, a wise
counselor and most prominent man.

ment; whereas the creditors do not &C
cept the Riddleberger bill and denounce
its provisions as arbitrary reputation of
a third of the debt, half the funded in
terest and an equal amount of the cur
rent interest. If there is no more repu-
diation in his measure than in the one

bons" why are not the creditors as well
satisfied with one as they are with the
other?

from politics, if such services as his

he responded, and then continued: 1T
looks as if they were afraid to fight
Conkling at Washington. Why, we
were not afraid of him at Chicago, and
we defeated his candidate" And all
the other anti-Conkling Republicans
were terribly respondent until the news
of Robertson's appointment reached
them, and then they were exuberantly
happy. Senator Wagner heard the news
in the corridor of the Kenmore Hotel.
He tossed his beaver hat to the ceiling
and invited all in to take drink.

A great deal of curiosity has been ex-
cited over the fact that the subscribers
to the last Grant fund have declined to
give the object of their charity the
money outright, but have preferred to
put it in the hands of trustees to be
invested. the income only to be given
the ex President. The question natu-
rally asked is why have the donors done
this, especially since they give the donee
power to dispose of the property by will
The reason is plain. Grant has had half a
dozen fortunes given him and yet is
always hard up, and, as he has to be
supported by his friends, they are getting
tired of the constant drain upon their
purses. Hence, to protect themselves,
they have arranged this fund SO that the
great national pensioner cannot run
through it. They evidently think that
Grant and his money are too soon parted.
