Mullen Leaves tu Consumption.

DR.. Quinlan, of Dublin, read before the
International Medical Congress at Cop
enhagen last year an interesting paper
on the medicinal qualities Ofthe MULLEN.
1t has attracted widespread attention,
and among the more recent articles
coDfrmatory OF DIR. Quinlan's statements
is one by Dr. Wilfert, of Cincinnati,
which appears in the last number Of TIE
Lancet and Clinic of that city. From
the results obtained in 127 cases of pull
monary consumption treated by DR..
Quinlian with mullen alone, he draws
the following conclusions, which are
condensed from bis original article, viz:
l. In The earlier and pretubercular
stage of pulmonary consumption, MULLEN
has a weight-increasing and curative
power greater than that of cod liver oil,
and equal to that Of Russian koumiss.
.. In cases where lubercles are estab-
lished or cavities exist, the MULLEN has
great power in relieving cOugh-a great
boon to cOnsumptives, whose weak
stomachs too frequently cannot tolerate
the usual cough remedies.
3. Phthisical diarrh9a is completely
obvated by the mulleiE.
4. Mullen has no power or effect on
the night sw eats of consumption, which
should be combated by atrop.a sulpbate
The method of using the mullen
which originated among the Irish peas
antrv, and was adopted 10y DIR. Quin,aE
inst as he fOund il, is as follows: Three
ounces GFtlia fresh green leaves, or about
ten times that much Of the drled,f are
boiled in pint of fresh cows milk
After boiling a moment the infusion is
allowed to stand and sine" for ten
minutes, when it is strained. sweeIoD, d.
and drunk while warm. This quantity
is taken twice or three times day., Ii
is generally much relished by the pa
tients, who regard itas pleasant article
of diet rather THAI as a medicine. The
smoke of the MULLEN leaves inhaled int
the respiratory passages relieves irrita-
ton and spasmOdic cough. . ..-.
DIR. Wilfert states that he has followed
DIR. Ouinlan's method in twenty cases d
undoubted pulmonary phthisis, all
more or less advanced, and all improved
during the administration of mullcin, no
other drugs being. used, These results
are certainly very encouraging. and
should be followed up. .... ...

Once or twice during the summer Vic.
tor brought her newspaper containing
favorable accounts of an invention of
Stephen Walker's-an improvement
tn It had been in operation in her mills
long before it was patented.
The paragraph stated that he had ac-
cepted an offer to superintend the erec-
ton of some mills in South America, and
was going far away.
And then the restraint she had put
upon herself suddenly gave away and
she fell down unconscious at Victors
feet, whe in all his alarm and anxiety,
did not dre@m of the true cause.
A few days after this she was engaged
in some household duties, looking very
beautiful in her morning dress of soft
muslin, when Victor's bright face ap-
peared at the window.

his shoulders and looking down into the
frank, handsome face with secret regret
that she could not love him as he de-
served TO be loved.
"And Nell," he continued eagerly,
"the men have been working like beav-
ers to get it finished and have promised
them haifholiday tomorrow and pic

THE PLYMOUTH PLAGUE.

Definitely Ascertained by Post Mortem En-
animation, to be Genuine Typhoid Fever
Measures for It's Suppression-A Hospi-
tai Established.
WILKEsBARRE, Pa, May ll.-Pollce
Surgeon French and DR.. Shakespeare, of
Philadelphia, arrived here Saturday night
to Investigate the Plymouth epidemic on
behalf of the relief committee of Phila-
delphia. Yesterday morning, accompa-
MED by several of the leading physicians
of this city, they went to Plymouth, ex-
amined the water supply and investigated
the theory advanced by the committee OF
Wilkesbarre physicians as to the source
of the epidemic. With this theory they
agreed, and in their opinion it is one of
the clearest cases of the method in which
typhoid fever is spread.
Early yesterday morning Jno. Williams,
a miner, aged twenty-one years, died
from the plague, and permission of his
relatives was secured for a post-mortem
examination, which was made in the
presence of dozen physicians from this
city and Plymouth. 1t was established
beyond all question that the epidemic was
one of genuine typhoid fever. The par
ticular tension of this disease-the ul-
ceration and perforation of the intestines
was remarkably plain. Saturday and
yesterday five deaths occurred from the
disease.
Active measures 10 prevent, and If pos
sible stop, the ravages of fever at Ply
mouth, were inaugurated this morning.
A large school house was fitted up as a
hospital. 1t is fitted up with the neces-
sary conveniences, and is in charge of a
regular corps of physicians and nurses.
A wagon load of medicine was forwarded
from the Wilkesbarre Hospital to Ply
mouth this morning. As soon as a patient
is taken sick he is to be conveyed to the
hospital. 1t is hoped in this way to pre-
vent the spread of the disease. It's a
fact that out of every FIVE who die from
the disease two die from neglect. There
were two deaths last night and several
new cases.

1T WAS ALL WRIGHT.

And they Arrested Him at Terre Hautei
But He Says It's All Wrong-The II diana
Express Robbery Traced HOrue to tho
Apparently Guilty Party.
BLOOMINGTON, IND, May ll.-All the
work of the detectives has resulted in
apparently fixing the guilt of the
recent robbery of the express safe, and
the murderous assault on the messenger
and baggage-mastcr, on VIM. Wright,
whose parents reside near Harrodsburg,
but short distance from the scene of the
robbery. Wright was short time ago
In the regular army, and was also cow
boy In Texas. He left his home In this
county on the day of the robbery, and
answers the description of the robber
in every particular. A photograph of
Wright taken two We" vs. ago was sent to
New Albany, and Peter Weber, the bag
gagemaster, feels confident that he is the
man. A dispatch has been received from
Terre Haute, announcing the arrest OF
Wright at that place. The City Marshal
of Bloomington started after him imme-
diately. He will arrive here to-day, and
Weber will be here on the noon train to
see II he can identify bin. If he is pro-
nounced guilty, the probabilities are he
will be lynched.
BLOOMINGTON, IND, May 12.-W m.
Wright was arrested in Terre Haute
Monday and brought here yesterday,
charged with the train robbery commit
ted near here two weeks ago. He says /:

The story is well connected, but docs
not agree with that of his wife or father.
The general impression is that he bought
a ticket to prove that he was out Of the
neighborhood, and that the letter from
Terre Haute was mailed by an accom-
plice, for it is not in his handwriting.
His manner is careless and he wants to
talk to everybody.
His doctors refused to let Weber come
up to-day, but 1t is thought he will be
here tomorrow to say whether Wrlgh

LOCATED AT WASHINGTON.

The New Catholic University to BE Located
at the National Capital-BishOp Ireland,
of Minnesota in Charge of the Project.
WASHINGTON, d. c., May lit was
officially announced in the Catholic
churches of this city, athigh mass yestcr-
day, that Washington had been selected
as the site of the new Catholic university.
A conference of Catholic church men was
held in Baltimore last week to decide this
matter, aud after mature consideration
Washington was selected. Bishop Ire
land, of Minnesota, who was deputed TO
select the ground and make arrangements
for the erection of the university, in
an address yesterday at st. Matthew's
Church, said this city was q good open
ing because it possessed greater literary,
scientific, political and philosophic adj
wantages than any other city in the coun-
try. 1t, as the capital of the Nation, was
the center of the social and literary life
of the country, and while other
cities had offered greater money
inducements to have the University
located in their midst, none could offer
the inducements which were peculiar to
Washington.
The nucleus for the establishment of
this university was thedonation last fall of
Miss Caldwell, of New York, of $500, 900,
which amount was accepted by the Cath
Ollie Council in Baltimore, and sum
added which will insure its erection.

Fatal Accident in a Tunnel.

TARRYTowN, N. Y, May 1.-Two men
were killed, two fatally injured and two
badly hurt in an accident yesterday at
Cut No. on the new aqueduct in Sleepy
Hollow. Fifteen men were working in
the heading, and others were at work
near the mouth Of the tunnel. Suddenly
there was terrible explosion and every
light in the tunnel was put out. The men
in the heading were stunned, but were
soon aroused by the cries of the others
coming through the smoke and darkness.
They fastened back to the breach
and found Michael QuIrn under
pile of rocks dead. Geo. HUI
bert had been thrown ten feet and his
drill, weighing 800 pounds, lay across his
chest. He was still alive but badly hurt.
Joseph Fesiua lay buried beneath a pile
of rocks, also badly injured. The others
were lying about all more or less serious
ly hurt. An Italian, name unknown, was
soon after removed, fatally injured. Hull
bert died at two o'clock. The Coroner at
once began an investigation, but after ex-
amining few of the witnesses it was adj
journed. 1t is supposed that one of the
blasts failed to explode, and in boring the
drill struck and discharged it.
