A Man Dying of Ultra Chambers Com

Hartford, March 31-The medical pro-
fession of this part of Connecticut are deeply
IN crested in case of human CHAMBERS which
has resulted in death an6 as there has long
been dispute regarding the possibility of
death from the disease when communicated
from beast to man, the case will probably at :
tract wide attention. Two weeks ago Orris S d.
Todd, farmer, who lived on the Wilmington
road, In Tolland, purchased a horse of an itin-
Grant trader. Believing that the animal had
cold, Todd began to treat it in various ways
one OF his methods was to blow smoke into the
horses nostris. This treatment caused the
animal to sneeZe. A week or so ago Todd wa s
taken sick. The symptoms were at first be-
lieved TO be those of pneumonia. Later they
assumed those of rheumatism, being followed
by swelling of the joints, and breaking out of
the face DIR. johnson of Mansfield had
charge OF the case, and was satisfied that it
was an actual case Of CHAMBERS communicated
from the horse A consultation of physicians
was held a day or so ago, and they were of the
same opinion as DR.. johnson. Medical aid
was unsvailing, and the sufferer died yester-
day Local physicians say that deaths from
primary CHAMBERS have for some time been
known to their profession. but the Todd case
establishes the fact OF the similarity Of the
characteristics OF ultra CHAMBERS in man and
beast.

of the first direct steamship line between
Sweden and the United States will sail from
Gothenburg direct for New York. Now, for
the first time, the American exporter may ship
his goods on board steamer at New York,
and have them carried by that steamer directly
to Sweden without transshipmont. Now the
thousands OF Swedish emigrants may 90 on

this steamer sail directly to Americs. This
direct communication must naturally and in-
evtably incroase the export of American pro-

Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1884-11-11

Editor Morning Net0S: The statement
published that the cOlored preachers have
taken occasion to bewal the election of
Democratic President as punishment
from God upon the colOred people for
their SINS" and a misfortune to their race
is so surprising that it seems TO me to
deserve more than a passing notice. At
all seasons of the year these colored
churches are appealing to the white people
Democrats Of Savannah to assist them in
building churches and in paying their
church expenses. In several localities l
have myself furnished without rent the
ground on which their churches stand,
and | know that other Democrats
have pursued as liberal and kindly
a course. Our organized white churches
are constantly assisting these people in
their religious work, and our educational
boards are defraying the expenses of the
education of their children with funds
raised by the taxation of property almost
entirely owned by the whites. Our DIS
Densar:es furnish them medicines, and
our physicians do a generous work for
their sick.
In view of these facts, which are as
well known to these cOlOred preachers as
to any one else, say that it as surprising
that such stuff as | have called attention
to should be preached from their pulpIts.
No colored minister, uttering such I'M
truths as these, is fl TO sit in the pulpit OF
a house of God; and the sooner the intel
ligent colored people of this city rebuke
these unworthy political mouthpieces OF
sectional and race animOsity, the better
for the welfare of the cOlored race.
There is not truthful and intelligent
colored man in the South who does not
know that the best interests of his people
| are to be promoted by the requirement OF
the confidence and respect of the white
people of this section.
