I ATLANTA, GA, April 25.-B. ]. Roop, a
prosperous faymer and miller, lived on a
hill on Botchie creek, six miles from
franklin. The creek rose SO rapidly Sun
day night that it lifted the building, which
started down the stream with Ieoop, his
wife, three children and negro servant,
farmer and miller. The house finally
struck tree and went 10 pieces.
A flash oi lightning just then enabled
Roop to see his family sink. He grasped a
mattrass and foated down until he struck
another tr.e, on which he remained until
morning. Two bodies were recovered.
Accounts from the interior-away from
railroads and telegraph-report the storm

WAsulSTos, April 25.-Mr. Sunset Cox
is not having the entire monopoly Of the
speakeBhip contest Within a week Mr..
Randall has opened bureau here. His
private secretary has been kept busy
writing letters TO new members and repre-
sentative men in the Democratic party in
different paris Of the country. Mr.. RAN
dali brings TO his aid varied ex xperience
as politician and political leader. He
has many. enemies in his party,
however, more than he Is probably
aware Of. SO far as can bedefnitely ascer.
tanned he does not claim TO have more than
sixty votes pledged to him. Mr.. Cox
claims as many, but then his claims are
based mostly on The strength Of his imsgi-
nation. "What Is very evident" said q
prominent Pennsylvania Congressman this
morning, "is that in the contest for Speak.
ership next winter there will be u large
number OF unpledged new members who
are not 80 fast about pledging themselves
to support anyone. They do not appreciate
the advantage Of tying themselves up TO
some one they do not know except by
reputation. Besides X new member IL
generally reiormer, and he Is on his
guard. He believes nothing, and pretends
to know everything; he will accept au in.
vitation TO dlnner without giving the mat
ter due consideration. As rule, however,
he ends by doing just what he is told, only
be doesn't know it. He imagines he Is
shrewd, as he Is often told he is. Apparent.
ly he manages everything, but in reality
he manages nothing. This unknown
quantity OF new members will keep
the Speakership question a matter OF spec.
ulation up 10 the last minute. The best
wire.puller will win. Mr.. Carlisle is won
deriully mute in this respect. He told me
the other day that he should not ask sin.
gle man to vote for him. He would like 10
be Speaker, but he would not farm out the
committee craftsmanship for votes. Mr..
Carlisle's honesty may stand in his way,
and 1t may secure him the place he seeks.
The Kentucky Legislature meets on the
the same day Congress assemblies, and will
commence ballo,ing for successor to Sena.
tor Williams. MIR. Carlisle Is considered
a candidate. Afew weeks ago Representa-
tive Blackburn made proposition to Car
Isle to support him for the Senate II he
would give up his candidacy for the
Speakership. Carlisle refused. He said he
had no right to entertain 4 proposition
OF this kind; that it looked too much like
q bargain, and as he did not own the
Legislature OF his State or the members Of
the rext House, he could not enter into q
compact that would be virtual disposi-
ton Of their actions in advance. Black
burn has since become more opposed to
Carlisle than ever. r..

CLEVELAND, April 25.-Cleveland Is not
behind other cities in curiosities natural
or otherwise. There lives in St Clair
street a young man, to all outside appear.
ances the same as other people, who is
afflicted from time to time with attacks Of
somnolence, which last from eight to sixty.
five hours. The young man, Mathew Mul.
cahy by name. lives at No. 50 St. Clair
street, and is sober, industrious person.
He is twen,y-one years OF age and employ.
ed at present at Worswick & Co. His sister
who was questioned with regard to the
matter, said: Matte, as we call him, has
been subject to these espells for almost three
years. Ot course wo were much alarmed at
the appearance o. the first attack, aud i'm.
mediately summoned medical assistance
Remedies were administered, but with no
effect. He finally awoke from his protract.
ed sleep and seemed TO be as well as ever
Oa the second appearance OF the malady
HE sLEPT YoR THIRTY HOURS.
After that his health was not very good,
and the spells would appear more frequent.
About the 4th Of July, 1881, think, be
had his worst spell, aud DR.. Capener was
called. He was at loss to account for the
strange ailliction. Matte is great lover
OF books and never enters the house with.
out picking up paper or some kind OF
reading matter. He is also very fond OF
and ANIMALS, and will fight for them, when
they are abused. Outside the house he
always appears happy, and will sing and
whistle while at his work, but as soon as
he enters the house, all this passes away,
and he Is very quiet and reserved. While
persons outside may speak freely to him on
the subject Of his strange ailment, we dare
not even mention 1t in his presence. He
Is at present at EIyria, where he Is attend
ing to some work for the firm by which he
Is employed, and will remain there two or
three weeks. Mother isvery much wor.
ried about him." Iy.l ngu.,|
DR.. Capener, who was asked Tor an ex.
PLANTATION Of the young maA's malady, said:
u was first called to attend young Mulcahy
about the I'd OF July, 1881. He was then
asleep, and he did not awake for sixty.fye
hours. He was extremely cold. andit was
IMPOSSIBLE TO AWAKEN HIM.
He opened his eyes once, but said nothing
and did not seem to recognize anybody or
anything. His skin was very dark, and
the eyeballs contracted to apainful degree.
I next waited upon him the 26th OF the
same month, and the spell lasted two days.
On September % l was again called, and
from this sleep he did not fully recover
until the 2Sth. On awakening from these
sleeps his pulse was very slow and be was
very nervous and slightly delirious. l
treated the case by leeching, local depletion
and nerve tonies, and recommended cold
sponge baths. II isa csss the like oiIwbich
has never come under my observation
during my long practice, and is one which
1t Is not in the power Of any physician to
fathom. In other respects young Mulcahy
is healthy, industrious young man Of eI-

DR.. Deiipers Says u IL Imported frsm
Hoilnnd-How TO Prevent it.
WASHINGTON, April 25.-Dr. H. ]. Deti.
ners, Of Champaign, ILL.,. formerly OF Chi
cayo, one OF the principal experts Of the
Veterinary Division Of the Department Of
Agriculture, after brief visit to Washing.
ton, and a preliminary report OF the subject
Of Texas fever and pleuro-pneumonia,
leaves tonight for Texas, to be absent 4
year, to pursue further inquiries into this
important subject. Dr.. Detiners is Of the
opinion that he has located, beyond a
doubt, the origin Of pleuro pneumonia.
He considers Holland as the place where
pleuro.pneumoni now exists, and Is per-
petuated by Q local system Of inoculation,
and maintains that the disease, so far as It
has appeared in the United States, can be
traced either to direct importations
from Holland, or to indirect importations
from that country through Great Britain.
He thinks that the agriculturists, and
those representing commercial interests
generally, can not be too much in earnest
In efforts TO prevent the spread Of this
plague among cattle, and says ii 1t shall
once appear in the vast herds west Of the
Alleghenies II wonld reduce the value Of
land ten dollars an acre, and would make
the vast domains OF Texas almost worthless.
At present, in the United States, the disease
has been confined to comparatively narrow
limits east Of the Alleghenies, but II has
not been successfully stamped ont any
where except in Massachusetts,, by the
heroic process. The disease now exists,
he says, in Maryland. DR.. Detiners thinks
that the ultimate solution oil the question
Of the transmission Of the disease among
cattle by removing from onelportion Of the
country to another, will be that herds will
be slaughtered upon their native soil.

KATE KANE Ar LIBERTY.
Released ON n Technicaiity--She Visit
Judge Mnilory's Court. g'

,MiLwAuKEE, April q. 5.-The. habeas cor.
pus proceedings in the case oil Kate Kane,
the female lawyer who threw glass Of
water in Judge Mallory's face, ended to.
day by her discharge, Court Commissioner
Ryan, before whom the proceedings were
had, holding, that she had BEEN illegally
committed 10 prison. He said this after.
noon in announcing his decision: ut is
hardly necessary to say that this must be
decided upon the points Of law involved,
and that the decision in no. way touches
upon the merits OF the case. It seems
10 be universally conceded that the relator
has been guilty Of most fagrant and out
rageous contempt ofcourt, for which very
mild, reasonable penalty has been imposed
upon her. She has placed herself in a
position where she can claim no sympathy
upon the merits, and II the Commissioner
considers himself bound to order her dis.
charge 1t is simply because the penalty
has not otabeen legally enforced. No mat
ter who the offender nor what the oiiense,
the convicted person must be deprived oil
his or her liberty according to the forms of
The law, or the imprisonment Is illegal. 1t
Is better,for the public welfare that the OF.
lenders should escape thejust penalty OF
their crimes through technicalities than
that q loose habit OF depriying citizens
Of their liberty should grow up and be en-.
eouraged."
The case Is still exciting great interest.
The offender has had her liberty to-day,
and with bold front visited this morning
the Court room she so hagrantly disgraced
on Saturday. Judge Mallory apparently
took,no notice Of her. Late. this afternoon
the decision Of Commission Ryan was
taken before Judge Hamilton, Of the Cir
cult Court, on writ Of certiorari, and he
was asked to, set the decision aside and
order the rearrest Of the woman. Hamil-
ton is the grandson Of Alexander Hamil-
ton, Is an aristocratic old fellow who be-
lieves in the dignity Of the bench, and it Is
the general belief that, he will to morrow
order the woman back to jail as she refuses
10 pay her fine, tflT ri =
