Almighty God on bis mission Of
rapine, murder and blood, and the

We could always tell By the stir,
excitement and fast walking on the

we're pressing q little too hard at the
front. The 9Th Of May was one Of
these exciting times. Tho rebs

poral came into Libby, notifying us
70 be ready to move at once. We
partially expected this and Of
course were - happy G prisoners
in their normal condition could be.
Not happy because VIC were going
somewhere unknown TO US but that
we were going to get out Of Libby.
Il was 4 big time for US from that
time until morning. When we
were taken out Of Libby prison, be.
ing five months to the day since our
little party captured at Missionary
Ridge wero put into Libby, it
seemed like 80 many years to us,
md yet there were Others there that
morning who had been in more
than twice that length Of time with
out ever setting q foot outside. II
was well for us We got out when we
did for Libby, like the confedefacy
itself kept going down from the first
day we went into IL.
In the prisons Of Macon Ga.
Charleston 8. G. and Columbia s.
G. we spent seven months more Of
prison life and it seems as though
we would be there yet had We no.

or rather nights, travel. Of these
we may say something some Other

Discussion of Malarial Fevers by Physicians
and Surgeons.

and Surgeons.
DETROIT, Nov. 14-At the afternoon ses-
sion of the National Health Association, a
paper was read prepared by DIR. r. D. Webb,
of Livingston, Ala, on the changes of types
of malarial fever in Sumter county, Ala,
from 1888 to 1888. The secretary then read
short papers upon malarial fevers DR. J. w.
Penn of Humboldt, Tenn, and DR. Thomas
F. Wood of Wilmington, Del, read papers.
A general discussion followed on the subject
of malarial feyers, Imperfect drainage and
hot weather were considered two of the most
fruitful causes of these diseases.
Col. George B. Waring, of Newport, r. L,
took the ground that the Potomac marshes
were not alone responsible for the malaria of
Washington, and urged the Importance of a
proper drainage system for that city. %. w.
Wright, health officer of Detroit, strongly
Endorsed tine necessity for thorough drainage
as a preventive to malaria. DR. Brice. of
Ontario, defended the bacterial theory, and
called attention to the necessity of examin-
ing the circulation of the ground air, as we'll
as the subsoil water.
The report of the committee on vital sta
tistics was read by the chairman, DR.. Elisha
Harris, of the State Board of Health OF New
York.
Medical Director Albert L. CHM of the
navy, followed with paper, claiming that
mere records of births, deaths and marriages
were not sufficient for sanitary purposes.
He said that reports similar to those of the
bureau of medicine and surgery of the Navy
Department are really needed. He.calleu at
.tention to the fact that Japan has already
taken the initiative in collecting such data.

VIcKsBURG, Nov 14-The theater tonight
was the scene of the unprovoked and cow
ardly murder of d. r. Allen by Frank e.
Starke The murderer, who had been dis
charged from the position of advance agent,
went into the dressing-room where Allen
and his wife were getting ready to go on
the stage. After having some words with
Allen, Starke drew a pistol but was disarmed
by Mrs Allen. He was then thrust out of
the dressing room into the hail. but before
getting there obtained his pistol from Mrs.
Allen. Allen followed Starke into the hall,
where the latter fired four shots
at him, two taking effect, one passing
through the heart. Starke was arrested and
jailed. Being interviewed, he admitted that
he had no provooation, and attributed the
act to his bad temper. He expressed no re-
greet. Allen lived in Booklyn; is fifty-fv
years old. Starke is a native of New York,
and twenty-five years old.

An Attempt to Drive Out the Smaller
Operators.
The Bears Monopolizing the Day and Tryin 9
to Hammer Down the Prices-A Big
Transaction in Hams.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal


CHICAGO, Nov. 14-There was noticeable
absence of the bull element around the wheat
pit to-day, and the bears utilized the occa-
sion to hammer down wheat to 971sc for
January. There was a week feeling at the
opening caused by the consideration of the
immense stock and the closing OF navigation.
Lester put in an appearance and sold wheat
right and left. He was ably assisted by
Smith and Mccormick, Schwartz and Dupee,
Stautfer and Dwight and Gillett, who are
supposed to be operating for Billy" Muir
ray. This influx of sellers caused rapid
decline. There was a check in the May OPP
ton when Poole, Kent & Co. bid $10411 for
more wheat than they could get, and the
market closed at $1.045s. On the CALL Hobbs
and Comstock were offering blocks of so, 900
bushels. McHenry sold early and was buy
ing later. Robson sold $4,000 bushels of
wheat at pop" and Lindblom sold early
and bought lightly later. The market is in q
very sensitive position, with downward
tendency, and the crowd who shouted
1.25 when wheat was a dollar are now whis-
pering 95c, and thinking of 90-cent wheat.
With large country trade and timorous
bears the market is in shape that good
nervy buyer could most any day advance
wheat one or two cents, and hence it would
be wise, were it possible, to watch Sid. Kent,
who, it is thought would like to get the
wheat which he unloaded on "a scalp" into
his possession again.
There were some large sales of May corn,
but the market recovered from the weakness
caused by them. The natural sympathy
with wheat depressed the price 5000.
Still the day closed with firm feeling at
the lower prices.
Over $1,000 hogs were received to-day, and
$1,000 are estimated for Thursday. The
prices were little lower and the quality bet
ter. Mess pork only went off 20@30c, lard
10@15c, and short ribs 5@1Oc. When the
crowd found that they could not break the
market they went over into the grain pits
and helped to break prices there. Norman
B. Ream did his best to break the market by
selling, but it did not avail. The idea among
to be to bear the market enough to shake
out lot of operators who are working with
small margins. The only transaction of real
moment to-day was the sale by the Chicago
Packing and Provision Company to Thorn
& Co. OF 100000 pieces of ham, so, 900 Novem-
Der at 77sc, and 10000 December at Sc. This
does not coincide with the views of Colonel
Favorite, who said hams would go to &c dur
ing November

Nick's Monthly
The old orehardists understood we'll the
favor of fine apple, peach or pear and the
way OF handling such fruit. They have not
much to learn of modern skill, which, with
all its labor-saving inventions, must draw
it's re6nements of taste and careful art from
more leisurely times. Some of the tradi-
tional ways OF keeping fruit may be of use
to those who have no fruit rooms. The best
way is to pack it in stone or earthen jars,
with layer of bran, dried in the sun or
oven, in the bottom of the jar Only sound,
perfect fruit should be packed, either apples
or pears, and should come directly from the
branch and sun as dry as possible.
Put layer of fruit in the wide jar, hand
ling very carefully; pour bran over to fill the
spaces and cover all an inch, then more fruit
and bran, shaking the jar softly to settle the
contents Have the bran smooth at top, lay
in piece of bladder or oiled paper to keep
the air out, and cover close Keep in cool,
dry place. This is easier than canning, and
keeps flavor better for dessert fruit All i'm
perfect or bruised apples can be pared and
made at once into apple butter, stewed and
canned for pies. l never would sell apples
at 81 barrel when canned apples are thirty
cents gallon and apple-butter is eight cents
pound. Orchard regions need their can
neries and fruit-butter makers as regularly
as GARY townships have their creameries and
cheese factories.

Western Export association.

CHICAGO, Nov 1.-The Western Export
Association held session here, to-day, which
was unusually largely attended. The diff
ferenees which have existed between various
members of the association as to the capacity
of their respective distilleries were amieably
settled. The association took under consid-
Grafton the resolution offered by H. B.
Miller, president OF the association, provid-
ing that the prices fixed by the
association be maintained under all
circumstances and authorizing the
executive committee to use the funds
of the association, if found necessary to ac-
complsh that end. The resolution is con
templated in the event of an oyerplus of
domestic stock in any particular sec
ton. The dstiller it is claimed,
should be directed to produce alcohol
for export, the distiller to be allowed a bonus
sufficient to cover the difference between the
profits arising from the manufacture of do
nestle stock and alcohol
A resolution was adopted allowing dis
tilleries to run 30 per cent. of
their full capacity. Dr. Rush, of
Chicago, was appointed dstillery
inspector of the pool. The executive COM
mittee metsubsequently and adopted the re-
port of the committee on capacity, and rec
commended the admission othe pool of four
new houses in the place OF four burned dur
ing the year.

GEORGE EL1oT's MARRIED LIFE.
The saddest Tragedy on the Page of Recent
History.

Edward G. Towne in Boston Transcript,
Mr. G. w. Cookies book on George Eliot,
which he describes as Critical study of her
life, writings, and philosophy" has many
points of great merit, which thoughtful
readers will not be slow to find out As a
study it is far richer in material and more
fruitful in method than any other yet made
and for guide to writings which are them
selves 6 grand field of literature, it is ex-
tremely valuable.
But on one point of the very remarkable
life of George Eliot, Mr.. Cooke has given
from no fault of his own, not the true ac-
count but the false one put forth by ana on
behalf of, Mr.. G. H. Lewes. l had opportu-
mites, while living in England, to get first
hand testimony in regard to the character of
Lewes in his earlier life the real facts as to
his first marriage, in which he was more i'm
moral and profligate than his falthless wife
was and the truth as to the heart-wretched-
ness of George Eliot while trying to make the
best of the mistake into which Lewes by de-
ception had betrayed her. The assertion, so
much insisted on in various quarters, that a
rare happiness came to George Eliot from
what is called her marriage, is as contrary
as possible to the real truth, which was that
apart from her faithful efforts to make the
best of the case for everybody, she was one
of the most wretched and suffering of human
beings The true story OF her life has vet to
be told. The story that has been told for SO
many years, as to Mr. Lewes, never had any
truth in it, 1t was first used to cheat George
Eliot into relation which, with any sus-
picion of truth, her soul would have alb
horred; and it has been used ever since to
make current history tell lies favorable to
Mr. G. H. Lewes. George Eliot, when it was
too late, made the best she could of the false
position into which clever lies had be-
trayed her, but it was out of her own heart,
in the great story which is SO LARGELY her
autobiography, that she said, "There is
no compensation for the woman who feels
that the chief relation of her life has been no
more than a mistake. She has lost her
crown" The facts which are the key to the
true life of George Eliot l have on the au-
thority of lady of the highest character,
who lived in Lewess family at the time that
his first marriage was made unhappy" in a
way much more danning to the name OF
Lewes himself than TO that of his faithless
wife The circumstances were such as made
aclever lie about the situation very easy
and on that lie rested the marriage" OF
George Eliot with Mr.. Lewes. How she was
BETRAYED, how she tried to make the best of
it, and what her real life was. can be made
out clearly enough, when one has the key
