MIR. NIoRAN's BIG ARM.
A Swelling that Puzzled all the Doctor
and Finally Caused Death

A Swelling that Puzzled all the Doctors
and Finally Caused Death.
BALTIMORE, Jan. PA case of death
from some mysterious cause is at present
greatly puzzling the physicians of this
city, VINO cannot understand why Mr..
Peter Moran's left arm should grow to be
the exact size or his body and then cause
his death. On a warm afternoon in the
summeEOf 1874 Mr.. Moran attempted 10
slip on his coat after a short nap in the
front parlOr Of his residence in this city.
The coat went on easily with the eXcep-
tlon Of the left sleeve, which hitched at
the biceps and positively refused to be
pulled into its proper position. In his
examination for the cause Of the delay
Mr.. Moran discovered that his left arm
between the elbow and shoulder was con-
slderably swollen. a day passed and the
swelling increased. Mr. Moran became
alarmed and sought the advice of a physi-
clau. The peculiar swelling could not be
explained and no remedy was prescri bed.
The arm continued to increase in size
until about three years ago. when Moran
was compelled to abandon its use. In the
meantime several doctors had been con-
suited in reference 10 the swelling. Some
said that it was a formation of fat; others
maintained that it was a fatty tumOr.
He refused, when informed that il was a
tumOr, 10 have 1t cut out, and the swell
ing went on. The arm became as large
as his thigh and he was compelled to put
Dc In a sling. Then it grew until it had
attained the size of his body around the
chest and added nearly 100 pounds TO his
weight. The swelling extended to his
chest muscles and at times acute pains
tnrU1hed through his breast. About
Christmas the pains were felt in the
region OF the heart and constantly in
creased in their intensity. At IL O'Clock
last Friday night he gave a sudden gasp
and expired. Undertaken Dagger called
yesterday and had 10 take special meas
urements for the coffin on account of the
size Of the arm, which after death was 40
inches in circumference. The swelling
extended from the aTmpit, being largest
at the biceps, and gradually tapered TO
the hand, where it ceased altogether.

Three Republicans who May Defeat His
Reelection.
CHICAGO, Jan. 26.-The Illinois Sena-
torial fight at Springfield is becoming
hotter as the days go by. The friends of
Mayor Harrison say that, although he
has given official notice of withdrawal, he
Will never leave the track until he sees
plainly that his election is impossible.
They say he is the only Democrat that
can draw votes from Logan, and that the
struggle will be between Harrison and
eN-Congressman &. b. Farwell. 1t is
claimed that Senators Sittig and Ruger
aDl Representative Mcmillan, all of
Chicago, will not support Logan,
but would vote for Farwell. The
reason given for the antipathy of Nc
MILAN to Logan is the threat of the latter
to wreck the Inter- Ocean, on which he is
employed, and the Senator's opposition 10
the confirmation of W. f. Curtis, former
manager Of the paper in question, and
McMillan's friend. as Secretary of the
south American Commission. SIttig and
Ruger have minor grievances. 1t is also
reported that il the Republicans stump
tor Farwell some OF LOgaD's supporters
in Southern Illinois will swing to Con-
gressman Morrison. The great struggle
will be between Logan and Farweu on
one side and Harrison and Morrison on
the other. Mr.. Farwell said to-day that
he was doing all he could to induce his
friends to support Logan, and thought he
would succeed. He would not say that
be himself was a candidate.

AT THE STATE CAPITAL.
Schurz's ArriYal-The Money for Schools
Heard COunty's Prisoners,

ATLANTA, Jan. 2S.-To-day J. T. Lips
comb filed proof at the Executive office
OF the arrest of A. S. King, charged with
having been been implicated in the
murder of Bonner Barker, in Heard
county, for whom a reward of 500 had
been offered. John Smith and Aaron
Smith, who are charged with being i'm
plicated in the same crime, and for whom
rewards of $3.50 and 800 were ais o offered,
were arrested a short time ago by the
Sheriff of Heard, and they are now behind
the bars. The Sheriff being State officer
gets no compensation for his arrests in
the way of special rewards.
The contest over the office of the Sheriff
of OglethOrpe county has ended. John
Knox withdrew his claim, and the COM
mission has been issued to Edgar Max
we'll.
John POstell left to-day for New Or
leans, where he will be joined by Daniel
Callahan. There they take steamer for
Central America. 1t is possible that they
may take contract to build a railroad
of 800 miles in that section. The object of
the visit is to look into work which is soon
to be contracted for, and it is more than
probable that the contract will be given
them. Messrs. POstell and Callahan have
been in New York two weeks past with
the projectors of the enterprise.
Carl SchurZ reached here last night in
stead of to-day, as expected by those who
were to entertain him in Atlanta. In con-
sequence, a hotel porter met him at the
depot instead of a delegation of distin-
guished citizens. He was escorted by his
sable companion to the Kimball House,
where he is quartered. Arrangements
had been made to entertain him at the
Hotel Weinmester, and a banquet was
proposed for to-day. At 2 O'Clock to-day
Mr.. SchurZ was called upon by number
of prominent citizens and marked atten-
tiOn shown him. Tonight he
lectured and was introduced by
Mayor Hillyer. Gov. Mcdaniel honored
the occasion by occupying a seat on the
stage. After the lecture Mr.. Schurz was
banqueted at the Kimball House.
Treasurer Hardeman made returns to-
day of drafts on the Tax Collectors by the
State School Commissioner, and which
have been paid by the Tax Collectors, re-
turned to the Treasurer and receipted for
as money by him. The drafts amount to

NORTHCOTEs PHILLIPPIC.
Gladstone and His Advisers Declared
Set of RInnderara


Set of Blunderers.
LONDON, Jan. 2S.-Sir Stafford North
cote, in his speech at Exeter yesterday,
said that England had now become in
volved in disputes with Germany in the
Transvaal and elsewhere, but during the
time of Premier Disraeli England was on
the best of terms with Germany. Premier
Gladstone, by a series of blunders, had
placed the government in false position
with several of the colonies, by this means
showing that the government possessed
no great craftsmanship, The Cabinet dis
played want of harmony, without which
proper government was impossible. The
speaker described the explosions at the
Tower of London and the Parliament
buildings as wicked, unmanly and
cowardly Outrages, innocent child
rem and women being the principal
sufferers, and said that he was
sorry to perceive that the leaders
Of the National party had failed to de-
nounce the CHASTITY crimes. The greatest
danger, however, arose from the fact that
these repeated Outrages might induce the
present weak government to allow further
plunder. Sir Stafford cited as evidence OF
such weakness the admission of Premier
Gladstone that the Clerkenwell outrage
led TO the disestablishment of the Irish
Church

accident occurred this morning at the

panv, at Kingston. The shaft is now
about 900 feet in depth. a full force of
sinkers were at work this morning, aud
shortly before noon two Of them, Daniel
Eagau and Edward Devans, stepped into
the bucket and gave the signal for the
engineer to start the hOistup. He Obeyed,
and the bucket began swiftly to ascend,
but lust before the surface was reacned
the engineer discovered that pin had
dropped out of the reversing lever, ana
that he could not stop the engine IN
time. He was almost insane with terror,
knowing that nothing short Of miracle
could save the men from death, or injury.
The two men in the bucket, seeing that
something was wrong when 1t did mol
stop at the usual place, jumped as II was
drawn swiftly up past the surface. Eagan
fell short in his leap, and was hurled
down the shaft. His body was broken to
pieces by striking against timbers. De-
vans caught hold of some timbers and
was unhurt. The head house was wrecked
and the sheaye wheels broken to pieces.

dynamiters will be held in Paris in Feb
ruary, under the Presidencyof Rossa, Jr.,
acting in behalf of his father. Delegates
from ireland, England, America, Havre,
Boulogne and Antwerp will attend to pre-
pare a plan for future action. 1t is
thought that sensible notifications in re-
gard 10 outrages will be proposed and
probably carried. There is a growing
feeling among dynamiters against further
attempts on public buildings. Several
contractors for the private sale of toTpe-
does will be present at the meeting. Con-
sequently it seems likely that torpedOes
are to be purchased, and that the British
navy will become the next object of the

The Nicsraguan TreatY's Friends In the
Senate in the MsjoTity.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-The Senate
closed its doors and resumed cOnsidera-
tiOn of the Nicaraguan treaty at 1880
O'Clock to-day. Senator Sherman modified
his amendment introduced several days
ago relating to discrimination which may
be made in charges for the use of the
canal. AS the amendment now stands
discrimination may only be made in favor
of the cOastwise trade of Nicaragua.
Senator Vance made a formal speech.
arguing that the Clayton BuIwer treaty
was still an obstacle to the ratification
OF the Nicaraguan treaty, and he moved
that further action be postponed
until after March 4. This motion
was the subject of a long debate.
Senators Bayard, Salisbury and others
upon the Democratic side spoke IN favor
of the motion, and Senators Morgan, Lap
ham, COnger and Miller of California, OD-
posed it. A motion to adjourn was made
at O'Clock and defeated. At 7 O'Clock
the question of pOstpOnement was put to
a vote, and half an hour was consumed in
efforts to secure a quorum. The absen-
tees were sent for, but pending the vote
another motion to adjourn was made at
1880 O'Clock, and carried. The vote upon
Mr.. Vance's motion to postpone further
consideration was the first test which has
been made of the strength of the treaty.
1t is said that when the call of the roll
was suspended by the adjournment the
negatives were more than twice as many
as those in favor of the motion, The re-
suit of the days debate and of this vote as
far as it proceeded were such as to give
the friends of the Nicaraguan treaty
strong grounds for hone of ultimate suc-
cess.
The general expectation is that final
action will be had tomorrow. The friends
of the treaty are hopeful, as they have
always been, that it will be ratified, but
the general belief is that it Will not be.

URIEL CROCKERs RELIEF.
Arthur Allows the Bill to Become a Law,
though DIsapprOving it,


WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-President Ar
thur to-day transmitted to the Senate a
message concerning the bill for the relief
of Uriel Crocker, of Boston. The Presi-
dent says:
The general statute provides for relief in
case OF the destruction of coupon bonds. In
my opinion this provision is sufficiently lib
eral to meet all cases of missing coupon bonds
worthy of favorable action, and 1 do not
deem it advisable 10 encOura ge this class of
legislation. The bill is not, however, so fl l-
grantly ineXpedient as to call for my formal
disapprOval, and have allowed it to become
law under the constitutional provision. con-
tenting myself with communicating to the
Senate, in which the bill originated, my dis
approval OF special legislation of this char
acter.
Upon the reading of the message in the
Senate, Mr.. Hoar inquired of the Chair
whether the constitution authorized the
President to express his disapproVal of
measures that he allowed to become a
law.
Mr.. Edmunds said he did not regard the
question as a parliamentary one, but the
constitution authorized the President to
give Congress his opinion on any matter
at anV time.

P1RTLAND, ORE, Jan. 28.-During the
past six weeks heavy storms have pre-
vailed throughout Eastern Oregon and
Washington Territory, and the loss OF
live stock is reported as very heavy.
Cattle and horses perished by thousands
from exposure and want of food. The loss
of sheep an0 hogs, however, is reported
as much greater. In Crook county, Ore
gOn, the report of the loss is very large,
but in Klamoth county, just south, the loss
is cOmpar atively light. The total money
value to stock raiSers is difficult
to estimate. The latest reports from the
settled region, east of the Cascades, are
that large numbers of persons frOze to
death during the late cold and protracted
snow storm. Numbers of persons during
the continuance of the storm are known
to have wandered off and perished. Most
of the bodies of such persons have been
recovered since the snow disappeared.
Very recent inquiries among relatives
and friends disclose the fact that many
persons are still missing, and that their
be no doubt as to the fate of these miss
ing persons. The precise number of per-
sons perishing will probably never be
known, but it is large.
