a MYSTERIOUS AND HORRIBLE DIS
EASE.

4 family named Florence, living at Syl-
van Dell, near Cynthiana, Ky, is afflicted
tyith horrible disease Three members of
che family have already died from it, and
the four remaining members are just alive.
When the disease attacks the victim the
flesh dries and splits open. The agony of
the pain is enhanced by the insutferable
itching. To find relief, the patient claws
himself almost to pieces, digging IN ana
about the bloody assures in his body. The
features OF the young daughter after she
died were distorted III the most agonlZing
manner The lips appeared to be cut, torn
and cracked, as though the victim had
breathed fire. Great clots of blood hung
upon the mouth, and the eyes photographed
in their depths the last moments Of
irightful death struggle. These who saw
her die says she reared and pitched like
maniac, crying murder" as loud as she
could. The cause of the disease is un-
known,

SPECULATIVE GAMBLING IN NEWYORK
A New York correspondent of the San
Francisco Bulletin says that there are in the
former city 1900 brokers, or men calling
themselves such, and out of this number not
more than $50 are really engaged in selling
actual grain, cotton or stocks. The other 49,
$50 are only gambling on their own or some
one else's account. He instances man who
has for the last five years done nothing but
sell an imaginary lot of 100 bales of cotton.
He buys and sells it half dozen times 4
day when the fluctuations are heavy, and
may be seen buying strawberries at six dol
lars a quart when his days work is over.
He does not know one grade of cotton from
another; he probably never saw cotton
field or the inside of cotton mill, and 1T IS
doubtful whether he, ever sees any cotton
even in bale; but his calculations IN life,
his interest, his very being, are wrapped up
in that lot of cotton, which exists only on
paper. He is nothing but an inveterate
gambler, engaged in fleeing foolish people.
In reality he is not particle better than
the faro player upon whom the police might
pounce-but do not.

PERRY BELMoNTs PLUCK.

Bully.

How the Young New Yorker Amazed n Georgia
Bully.
Perry Belmont Is fighting cock. He is
very belligerent young man-nOt Extensively,
but defensiyely. People rather sneered at
Perry when he first got here. He was a
pOIo-and-tennis young man, cutaway-cOat
young man, rather blase. To be sure, he
was well educated. He had some culture
and some polish, and would perhaps sit pas
SADLY well for his pocket borough. Perry has
astcnished friends and enemies alike He
has acquitted himself admirably in commit
tee and in House. He has lived a quiet,
gentlemanly life outside the Capitol. He
dared to tell James G.. Blaine to his face
what no other man ever dared to say of him
before in such a presence, and yet on the
floor he is as quiet and unObtrusive as he is
in the drawing-r00m. Last night he came
down from New York. As the train moved
out of Jersey City he attempted to pass q
in mouth, poured forth smoke and profanity
in equal installments "HOw Nany more
times are you going through here?" he
growled you've been through twice"
81 may go through half dozen times
more" said Belmont, cOOlly and calmly. Il
shall go through as often as l please"
well, the next time you go through"
said the big Georgian, "Tll chock you"
"I think not" said Perry to the swelling
bully. "And, by the way, what are you
smoking i'll the ladies' car for?" BY dex
ferrous movement, without waiting for an
answer, he knocked the Georgians cigar
from his mouth and then passed quietly
on with: "We don't want any more smoking
or swearing in this car"
The Georgia bully was speechless with
astonishment When he recovered himself
he whistled softly and, turning to friend,
said: "Game, amt he?" and went in the
smoking car. Perry is not easily scared

AYouNG ARMY OFFICERS WIFE.
Tie Strange Story She Rplated in Resisting Suit
for Divorce.

The Strange Story She RpIated in Resisting Suit
for Divorce.
Capt Millard F. Goodwin, U.S.A., brought
suit in the Supreme Court of New York for an
absolute divorce from his wife, Kate B. Good
win, 20 whom he was married in November,
1876, at Fort Sedcn, New Mexico. A referee
reported in the plaintiffs favor. Judge Law
renee refused to confirm the report, the testi-
mony being unsatisfactory. Before Judge
Lawrence, Mrs. Goodwin's counsel moved for
counsel fee and a direction that she be allowed
to see her child, Clarence d. Goodwin, now in
charge of It's paternal grandmother.
The defendant denies the charges made
against her, except as to a Mr.. Henderson, to
whom she says she was introduced by her
husband with tho assurance that he was
trustworthy gentleman under whose guidance
she was TO act lie took her, she says, to what
he represented to be a frst-classs boarding
house in 9Th street, and the same evening in
duccd her to drink wine, which Immediately
made her unconscious. On rcganing her
senses she fed from the house at four o'clock
in the morning and went to the residence of
her husbands mother in Brooklyn, to whom
she told the whole story. She subsequently
learned that the house to which she had been
taken was one Of ill-repute.
Mrs Goodwin also makes counter charges
against her husband. He was graduated, she
says, in 1872 at West Point and was assigned
to duty at Fort Sclden. She was there with
her father, Major NJ. p. BuGum. She was
twenty years old when they were married,
and had no knowledge Of his habits of gam
bling and love of strong drink. She asserts
that he treated her cruelty, kicked her with
his booted feet, and struck her in the face
with bis ring and clcnched hand 50 as to dis
color her eyes. When they came TO this city
from the west, she says, he told her that if she
did not consent to a divorce he would kill her
Judge Lawrence reserved his decision upon
the motion, remarking that the evidence thus
far taken in the case, which was that of de
tectivcs" who claimed to have traced the
defendant to hotel in a strange NAME com
pauy, appeared to him very unsatisfactory.
The question Of the rank Of army medical
officers is creating some discussion in army cir
cIes. The Secretary of War holds that sery~ ce
in the volunteer service does not hold good in
computing length Of service in the case of
medical officers, unless they have served full
three years IL has been heretofore held that
all service should count equally.
