have become afflicted with strange malady,
and the little neighborhood believes that they

Louise, aged fourteen; Salle. aged eleven, and
Willie aged seven Residing near the Finks is
an elderly woman, who has been looked upon
with suspicion by her neghbors for some years,

the children. The latter say that the old
woman manifests herself ia the form of cat,

out of them. Next they weep and cry out that

these spells and their friends fear that unless
they are cured soon they will die. DIR. Hatfield,

he was dying, goodbye He was given consid.

Senator Chaffee and U. S. Grant jr., left the
house. Mr.. Chaffee said that the General was
sleeping quietly, and Gen. Cyrus Bussey, who
came out moment later, said that after
General Grants exhilaration, he became very

MEDICAL ASPECTS OF THE CASE.
But Little Probability that the General viii
Die from HemOrrhage.

A Journal reporter yesterday requested Dr.
John Chambers to favor this paper with his
views concerning the case of General Grant. as
outlined in the dispatches of the Associated Press
Doctor Chambers said that there was little dan
ger from hemorrhage in cancer of the throat
that death usually resulted from blood-poisoning
and general debility. 1t is a well-known fact
that in cancer there is widespread iniltration
and Inflammation of all the adjoining tissues.
Adhesive infammations involve and plug up the
arteries and prevent hemorrhage. To remove
those parts of the throat and palate apparently
affected would notremove the disease completely.
If in operating on such case there should be
violent hemorrhage, the attempt to ligate the
blood-vessel would probably fail, as there is so
little healthy tissue to be includedi in the ligature
The blood vessels themselves are diseased and
brittle
DR.. Chambers spoke highly Of Drs. Sands and
Shrady. The former is sole visiting and oper-
ating surgeon of the Roosevelt Hospital, one of
the wealthiest in New York. DIR. Chambers
thought Dr. Sands had shown good sense and

Judgment in refusing to talk about the case
Dr. Shrady is d general practitioner with
marked abilities in the special line OF surgery
He is the surgeon of the Presbyterian Hospital,
of which denomination he is a member Dr.
Chambers doubted, however, if he had shown
sufficient determination in warding off those
determined to keep the Generals mind agitated
to spiritual matters TO his physical detrl-
ment Both Drs Sands and Shrady he charac-
acteriZed cool and level-headed surgeons and
if they thought it not best to remove the
diseased parts their judgment was undoubtedly
wise. and would receive public and professional
support DR.. Douglas was the only specialist
in the case, and of him DR.. Chambers knew
nothing DR.. Chambers stated that while
he had seen many cases of cancer
of the lip in the Dublin hospitals,
they we're usually due to holding the short and
hard stem of clay tobacco pipes at one place
between the teeth and lips year in and year out
He doubted if the Generals habit of continual
smoking cigars was the direct cause of his
troubles but anything that acts as a constant
cause of irritation as tobacco smoke might do,
would give rise to the production OF an excess
of epithelial cells and tissue and these might
degenerate and assume the cancerous condition
The internal carotid artery has not infre-
quently been wounded by knives and the like
thrust into the mouth by accident, and often by
the short stem of clay pipe. 1t has also been
cut in removing the diseased and enlarged ton
sill. This is common operation, and there is q
special instrument for impalirg the tonsil,
drawing it forward and cutting it Off but
sometimes the carotid artery has been
included in the guilotine and has
been cut. 1t may be compressed
externally in the neck, and then ligatured. The
whole region involved is rich in blood-vessels
and nerves, and operative procedure is difficult,
and dangerous General cancer of these parts is
rare; perhaps such case might be met every
two or three years ia large city practice.
DR.. Chambers thought the description of the
nal in in cuffi-
GENTLY explicit as described in the press report
which was shown himi AL tho parts may be
seen by one, in their open mouth by the aid of a
hand glass. He thought General Grant most
courageous and determined sufferer; calm and
patient in waiting the issue of his case as
in his military campaigns. and that by this
frame of mind he had, no doubt done much to
retard the progress of his ma)ady

humor sick man. General at which the Gen
eral smiled.
ATOP NJ. Mrs. Grant, Mrs. Sartoris and sew
eral other members of the family were about the
sick mans bedside. DIR. Newman and ex- Senator
Chaffee were also present Dr. Shrady regarded
the ability of General Grant to exercise his
mental faculties and hands at the same time as
very hopeful, and was quite sanguine at that
hour that General Grant would pass compare
lively easy night.
Cyrus w. Field called about 9:15 Mr. Field
said HE (Grant) is a man of wonderful vitali-
ty Despite his low condition, he is able TO walk
across the room.'
At 1890 p NJ. the General was resting in his
easy chair, after having enjoyed the converse
ton of his family for half an hour. He had
taken nourishment with apparent relish. His
pulse was still steady, and his mind clear. He
had no pain.
About 0 P. NJ, Stephen B. Elkins called at the
house. and visited the Generals room, where he
remained until nearly 10 o'clock. He told
reporter that General Grant was inclined to be
talkative, but was discouraged by Dr. Shrady.
Mr.. Elkins said: I'm my opinion, the Generals
mind is perfectly clear his appearance
is about the same as week ago. ?
Mr.. ElLins informed the General that he
had received dispatches from prominent men

Brooksville Register The railroad
trustees visited Palatka last Monday, for
the purpose of closing their trade with
the Florida Southern, all of the party re-
turned Wednesday with the exception
of Mr.. Keithly, who visited Jackson
vile, to consult with ex-Gov. Drew and
others who are interested in this section.
From those who returned we gathered
the fact that the railroad company had
given them ten days more time to raise
the $4,000, and that the company have
commenced to grade and cut the right of
away on the three mile stretch this side
of Pemberton's Ferry, to a point where
their survey leaves the one coming to
Brooksville, and that if the trustees do
not by that time raise the funds, they
will proceed on their old survey TO a
point some three miles southeast of
Brooksville and establish a town called
New Brooksville.

One of Palatka's young men came near
meeting with serious if not fatal acct
dent yesterday. While padding small
boat near the City of Monticello the
wheels of that massive steamer began
revolving rapidly and the small boatwas
caught in the suction and was being
rapidly drawn to certain destruction
when the mate of the steamer discovered
the peril of the boatman in time to have
the engines stopped, thereby preventing
an accident that might have been serious.
