Postmasters-Other Capital Notes.
WASHINGTON, Sept 3.-An official Of the
Coast Survey has been sent to Charleston
TO make soundings of the harbor and ada
cent coast in order TO see whether any re-
markable depressiOns or elevations of the
bottom Of the ocean have been caused by
the earthquake.
The Acting Secretary of the Treasury has
issued a circular calling the attention OF
all officers and employees Of the Treasury

. The Government counsel in the telephone
suit are buslly engaged in preparing an
answer to the demurrer fled by the Bell
Telephone Company i'm their Columbus
case, and their brief is practically completed.
The arguments will begin September 20,
and the Governments case will be pre-
scented by Messrs. Thurman, Lowry aud
Chandler.
Secretary Bayard is indisposed to make
any statement for publication respecting
the official report of Consul General Porch,
of Missouri, upon the conduct of Mr.. Sedg-
wick in the City of Mexico, which is very
prejudcial to the latter gentleman. 1t is
evident, however, that the Secretary prefers
TO accept Mr.. Sedgwick's personal expIana-
ton of the matter as the correct one, and
while lie may not publicly criticise the pre-
viOus acts of Consul General Porch, yet it
is understood at the department that it will
not be permitted to pass unnoticed.
The White House is confronted and sur
rounded by a large scaffolding which is

library is occupied by an army of
boOkwOrms, while the carpets are up in

acted in the departments until the Presi-
dent returns, which will be about the 20ih

ICt-CREAM POISONING.
A Common-Sense View of Last Summers
Picnic CaIamities,

Picnic Calamities.
Early in the ice cream season the
young mans fancy, already turning to
thoughts of the inevitable expenditure
for his best girl, was solaced with nu-
merously reported cases of wholesale
poisoning by the seductive but demon
alizing compound. At one picnic in
New Jersey PA persons were made Sc
riously ill-one of them dying; in
Michigan 143 others suffered from
symptoms of irritant poisoning, and in
Coles County, H., some fifty more
were doubled up by the frigid luxury,
| besides in many other cases in which
smaller numbers were affected.
1t will be readily understood how
these occurrences were treasured up by
the thrifty escort to point a moral and
| adOrn a tale which should efectually
and economically answer any sugges-
ton of ice cream indulgence. The
chemists and analysts were also called
on to heighten the horrors, and while
one found in the gelatine a Pandora s
box of hitherto unsupported ills,
another discovered in the milk new
and deadly poison whose lethal potency
was indicated in the awe-inspiring
term "tyrOtoXican." Still another of
fered lin explanation of these toxic
phenomena" statement that vanilla
has long been recognized as a prolific
source of poisoning, causing train of
symptoms which the French authorities
call ''vanillism."
A prosa;c coroner's jury has knocked
the underpinning, so to speak, from
beneath all these scientific theories
and eXplanatiOns-so far, at least as
the New Jersey case is concerned.
The jury finds that plain, every day
'poison was placed in the ice-cream by
some one unknown" and reward of
one thousand dollars is offered for the
detection of the guilty person.
But while this may be accepted as
the solution of the Pottersville poison
ing, it opens up fresh difficulties. 1t
is simply incredible that wholesale
prisoners exist in such numbers as
would be necessary to thus account for
the many cases which occur every
year; or that. if there were such peO-
pie and in such numbers, they would
display their murderous activity only
in summer, and then uniformly select
ice-cream as their vehicle. A COM
nonsense view of these eases would
indicate that the so-called poisoning"
is, in fact, nothing more than cholera
morbus, resulting from gorging upon
an unusual and heterogeneous mixture.
in which the ice-cream plays only its
natural part. 1T is to be noted that
these ''poisonings" always occur at
picnics, festivals, or similar affairs,
under conditions which outrage every
ordinary law of health, and more eS-
pecially those of the digestive appa-
ratus.
To a level-headed doctor the wonder
should be not there are so many, but SO
few, serious results from such indul-
gence in indigest;ble substances. And
the equally level-headed houSekeeper
will wonder why, if gelatine, milk and
vanilla extract possess such poisonous
properties as the chemists allege, they
do not manifest them in the buildings,
iellies, etc, into whose composition
they enter equally with ice-cream.-

Freak of the EarthauaRe.

Aspeeial report from Mount Pleasant,
opposite Charleston, says sink near the
German Church. which on Tuesday was
perfectly dry sand, is now full of fresh
water. Near Shell street there is cabii
occupied by a eolored man that is com
pletely surrounded by yawRing ehasms
which extend through the earth's sur
face for tea feet and over. All around
this there are sinks of fresh water and
masses of mud, with queer looking soft
substances that have never been seen be-
fore. 1t is contended by many thai the
mud and other substances found around
ths village are volcanic matter.
