BLESSING IN DISGUISE.

Georgia Young Lady, Who Had Lost the
Power of Speech. Receivers 1t as the Re-
suit of Excitement Incident to the Earth
quake.
NEW YORK, Sept. "a Savannah spe-
:ial to the Times says: A strange Incl
dent of last weeks earthquake shock is
the recovery of the power of speech by
Miss Mamie Martus, daughter of a re-
tired officer of the regular army. At the
close of the war her father was put in
charge of Forts Pulaski and Jackson. be-
low the city. While at the former fort,
the daughter, then bright, intelligent
child, had an attack of meningitis,
which left her voceless. The best med
ical skill was obtained, and the father
took his afflicted child travelling, but
nothing did her any good. She was
dumb, but had all the other senses.
During the Excitement of the first
earthquake shock last Tuesday night, she
in her fright attempted 10 call her bro
Their. He was frightened himself when
he heard her whisper his name. Since
then she has gradually regained her voice
and now talks with perfect fluency. She
says she was almost deliriouS with Joy
when she found that she could speak.
Her voice was low and her throat, sore
for three days, and she had trouble in
finding words to express her thoughts.
1t was much like learning new tongue,
except that she knew the words, but had
forgotten how 10 pronounce them. City
physicians are deeply interested in the
case. Their explanation is that the re-
covery was due to intense mental ex-
element.

IN THE MOUNTAINS.

The President and Party Resting After
Their Recent Long Drive - The Trout
Would Not Bfte-Preparing for Deer
Hunt-SOuveBirs.
SARANAC INN, N. Y, Sept. 9.-Little
had been done by the members of the
Presidents party yesterday beside rest
ing comfortably in the shade and recov-
ering from the fatigue OF their long car
rage drive. Toward shutdown the Presi-
dents guide persuaded him to make a
trip to Turtle Pond, in the belief that a
salmon trout or two might be beguiled
into taking the hook. For once Guide
Crouk's predictions were not veri-
fed Trout no longer rise to the
fly, and trolling win continue to
Weld unsatisfactory results SO long
as the water is as warm as it now is.
Mrs. Cleveland and Mrs. Folsom Dusied
themselves in the afternoon in affixing
their autographs to the birch bark
albums of the ladies whose acquaintance
they have made at Saranac Inn. The
covers and the leaves of these
albums are shaped like the leaf of q
maple or birch or some other forest tree,
and are bound together at the stems with
piece of ribbon. They make a souvenir
much sought after. If the necessary ar
rangements can be completed deer
hunt will probably take place here this
week, the President and his friends sta
tioning themselves at the various lakes
between here and Paul Smiths. The
guides all say that this is good hunting
ground and the President is likely 10 get
another buck. A fine buck was shot on
the opposite shore of the Upper Saranac
lake, within plain view of the Presidents
log cabin, bv Mr.. Charles f. Cutler, Of
New York, on Tuesday morning.

WHAT is IT Z?

Suspicious Smoke Seen OF Hilton Head
Ligh,-What Is 1t, Volcano or a Ship
on Fire?-Prof MendenhaIis Theory OF
o. the Earthquake.
SAVANNAH, GA, Sept. 9.-The keeper
at Tybee Lighthouse, at the mouth oil
the Savannah River, reports that be-
tween one and two O'Clock yesterday
afternoon an immense white column, at
first supposed TO be a water-spout, was
noticed twenty miles out at sea, in a
northcasterly direction, or apparently
twenty miles due east of Hilton Head
light, at the mouth of Port Royal harbor.
Glasses were leyeled on the mysterious
stranger, but it was SO far distant, and
the atmosphere SO hazy, that a good view
was impossible. The fact that it still
remained stationary at five O'Clock dis
PEELED the Water-spout theory, and at
that, hour the lighthouse keeper sionifi-
cantIy telephoned that the column had
assumed unmistakeable evidences OF be-
ing smoke of light color. peculiar to that
from volcanoes. No disturbance of the
sea is reported to have preceded
the appearance of the column, but the
people of the island are convinced that
volcano has sprung up. The smoke Is
visible from the cupola of the Morning
Ne,vs building in this city, and it is felt
certain here that it is either of volcanic
origin or arises from a ship on fire at sea.
AS it is forty mile cruise from this city,
it is impossible to lei arm anything definite
concerning the mystery. The first shock
of earthquake felt i'm this city Tuesday
night undoubtedly came from north
easterly direction, and this fact, coupled
with Prof. Mende nhall's theory, indicates
that the base of he disturbance is at sea,
somewhere off t he coast between this
city and Charl eston.

The Doctors Fail to Agree to It's Nature
But Think Precautionary Measures the
Safest COurse-An COnvalescent.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 9.-The war be.
tween the doctors as to whether the dis
case at Biloxi was yellow fever or not.
RACES as warmly as ever. although the
sickness has disappeared. DIR. Holt,
president of the Louisiana Board OF
Health, one of the experts who pro-
nsunced it yellow fever, made a long
speech before the Board, in which be Sc
verely handles the physicians of the OPP
position. He gave complete diagnosis
of the case, declaring that the two sick
persons, who had died of the fever, had
died with black vomit, and that their
bodies turned yellow and presented other
evidence that confirms the yellow fever
theory. He declared that Biloxi
physicians had made only a superficial
and careless examination of the
cases, but he made no allusion TO the re-
port of DR.. Godfrey, of the United States
Marine Hospital service.
DR.. Godfrey has arrived here from b.
loxi. He adheres to the belief that the
disease was not yellow fever, but he gave
the mayor of Biloxi the advice of Sur
geon-General Hamilton that the cOnva-
lescents should be kept under supervision
for six days, and all the precautions taken
to prevent q spread of the disease, after
which quarantine and other restrictions
could be abolished. Popular and medical
circles are still divided as 10 the charac-
ter of the Biloxi fever. Whatever it was,
however, it is ended, as there are no new
cases aud the sick are well again.

a BRILLIANT OPENING.

The st. Louis Exposition Opens It's DooFs
at the Beginning. of It's Third Season TO q
Throng of Nearly Twenty Thousand Peo-
pie Former Displays Eciipsed IN
the Beauty and Extent Of Exhibits.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 9.-The opening OF
the third annual Exposition of st. Louis
last night was agrand success. Never IN
the history of the association have the
naves of the great structure been SO
crowded with representatives OF the
highest circles of society, and the ex-
CARNATIONS, ooh, how loyely!" "Isnt
that just beautiful" ETC., were heard on
every side.
Long before the opening hour the
pavement in front of the great building
was thronged with ladies and gentlemen
waiting for the doors to open. No one,
not even exhibitors, were allowed to en-
ter, as a rush would have certainly been
made if the doors had been opened.
The employees engaged at the various
exhibits were admitted at the Thir-
teenth street entrance, SO as not
to retard any of the preparations still
going on, but all others were excluded.
At seven O'Clock the arcade on Olive
street was illuminated, and at precisely
eight O'Clock all the front doors were
opened and the rush began. For an hour
q constant stream OF humanity
passed through each of the three
entrances, and it is estimated
that nearly twenty thousand people were
present during the evening. The crowd
was critical one, who knew what had
appeared at the previous exhibitions, and
were competent to judge of the compare
tive merits of the present one. That the
Exposition of 1856 is far in advance OF
the predecessors was the opinion of all,
and expressed without hesitation.
Such a decision, in view of the fact
that the arrangements in many
cases were incomplete, is certainly en-
couraging, and is an assurance OF contin-
ued success during the season. In few
days, at farthest, every exhibit will be
completed, the electric lights working
perfectly and all the machinery running
smoothly. Then, and not till then, can
fair comparison be made with previous
efforts or the expositions of other cities.
Few people imagine the enormous
amount of detail work necessary to be
done before great exposition can be
considered in perfect running order. and
the almost impossiblity of e Perfect
opening, but the opening last night was
nearer perfect than ever before.

AN AFFLICTED FAMILY.

Notification of the Adage That "Sorrows
Never Come AlOne"-The Affections of
the Streeter Family.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. 9.-In theif
great sorrow and multiplied Affections,
the family of the late James Streeter, re-
Gently residents of this city, have the
sympathy of hundreds of their old neigh
bors and fellow-citiZens who knew them
here when they were a bright, united and
happy family. The old saying, "Soriows
never come Alone" seems to he expert
fenced in the storm of affection which
has fallen on the family in the
last few months. On the night of the
Carlisle Munford shooting Miss Jennie
Streeter, one of the daughters,
who was sitting in the car when
Carlisle commenced his indiscriminate
bombardment, received bullet in the
breast. The wound was very painful
one. and she suffered long and acutely
from it. At the time the shooting &C.
Cured the father was lying dangerously
i'll at his home in this city, and when the
wounded girl was taken home she insist
ed, with great self-possesson, that the
news of the accident be kept from her
fathers knowledge, fearing that any
shock might hasten his death. The he
roic Girl continued to bear her pain in ST.
lence, out about month ago death
claimed her parent. Miss Streeter recov-
cred after her fathers death.
The family a week or two ago removed to
their old home at junction City, Kan. It
was to another of their daughters, Miss
Salie Streeter, that the gifted Writ
Walton vas to be married. To-day had
been set for the wedding day. Instead
of being able to be there to claim his
bride he was three dsyS before brOurfl
to the fated house to die. The accident
by which Mr.. Walton lost his life, in the
wreck on the Santa Fee, happened only
about twenty miles from Junction City,
and he was taken at once to the residence
Of his affianced, where he died.
