a Tough Story.

Cleveland Leader.
A young man staggered into the
central police station last night shak.
ing as if palsied. lie leaned against
the railing of the office and had to be
carried to the turkeys room, where
he asked for lodging. He gave his
name as John Sullivan, a native of
Ireland, aged twenty-eight years. He
said he had arrived in New York, a
few days ago from the Isthmus of Pan
anna, where he had worked upon De
Lesseps' canal until he contracted the
Panama fever, the scourge of that land.
His home is in Chicago, and he was
making his way thither by aid of the
poor authorities in the cities along the
road. His condition was such that Lieut..
Johnson, summoned the district ply
stefan, who ordered the ambulance and
sent the mar t. the city Hospital.
Sullivan said that he had sailed from
New Orleans with a gang of $50 men
for Aspinwall, from whence they were
sent thirty miles into the interior aad
set a. work excavating for the canal.
The fever broke out among the men
and three hundred died, Sullivan and
forty-nine others only surviving the
ravages of the dread disease. Sullivan
and two comrades walked to Aspin-
wall, took a steamer to Kingston, ia.
maica, and walked to Port Antoine,
where they became stowaways in the
hold of a vessel bound for New York.
For six days they had nothing to eat
and drank the bilge water that lay in
the hold.

A Personal Collision Threatened
Between Gen. Gordon and Mai.
Bacon, Candidates for Georgia's
Gubernatorial Honors.
COurier-Journal.
ATLANTA, May 19.-The joint dis
cussion between Gen. John B. Gordon
and Mai. A. o. Bacon, candidates for
the G%overnorship of Georgia, which
was opened at Eatonton on Monday,
and continues in the leading towns all
week, has already developed features
of strong personality. Maj. Bacon,
who was for ten years Speaker Of the
Georgia House of Representatives, was
one Of the strongest supporters of
Gen. Gordon in both his canvasses
for the United States Senate. The re.
tirement of Judge Simmons from the
Gubernatorial race left what was sup.
posed to be a walk.oVer for Bacon.
The sudden appearance therefore of
Gordon in the race, backed by his ap-
peals to the soldier element, vas a sore
trial to Bacon, who regarded Gordon
as being under political obligations to
him. Bacon has made two previous
races for the Governorship. When,
therefore, at the Eatonton meeting
Chairman Nesbitt, in introducing Ba-
con, declared himself a Gordon man,
and further declared his belief that
Bacon had the right "to run as often
as he pleased" this was regarded as an
insult which Bacon resented with a
warm display of temper. Nesbitt tried
to explain, wi o. Bacon said: IL have
not been accustomed to such treatment
at the hands of gentlemen" Nesbitt
replied: "Then you are not accustom.
ed to the society of gentlemen" AS
quick as said, Bacon reiterated: 81
have lived among your own blood, and
associated with them that are of it,"
In Gen. Gordon's speech he referred
to the fact that Bacon resigned from
the Ninth Georgia regiment and kept
clear of bullets during the war. Ba-
con, in an excited manner, acclaimed {:
"Who asserts it, who insinuates it, who
repeats it after hearing me today, that
l ever resigned any public trust, either
in peace or in war, when | was physi-
cally able to serve, lies" All through
the discussion the greatest feeling was
exhibited. When the two gentlemen
met in Sparta yesterday there was mubh
curiosity to see what course Gordon
would take. Bacon opened by attacking
the resignation of Gen. Gordon from
the United States Senate. GordoL's
turn now came to hurl the lie, which
he did by saying: "There was a time
when l did not resign; there is a rec
ord that is unsullied even in the esti-
nation of the gentleman who has tried
to blacken my name before you. 1t
was made in a time that l didn't resign,
for my country needed me-" Gen.
Gordon repeated the charge that Bacon
had left the army during the war, and
wound up by declaring that 81 am
going to be elected, and my friend will
then get sicker than he did in 1862"
Here Maj, Bacon i%nterposed and said:
"Since he has lent himself to my enc.
mics to betray me, | absolve him from
all friendship" 1t is not believed that
this debate can go on without a per.
sCnal collision, as the two men are full
of mettle.

In EnalHnd they now have special breed of goats for the dairy, and an association has been formed, the best animals registered in flock book, and general improvement determin- ed on. In fact, an illUstrauion of q celebrated da'ry goat, recently appear ing in an English paper. showed such a capacity of udder as to compare flvorably with some cows nov in our dairies. And why should nut the goat be given useful place among our domestic animalsi If it cal be 50 improved as to give large quantities of milk, it will largely contribute to the assistance of those who have no facilities for keeping COW, while their prolihcacy will place them with in the reach of all. There is a v,ry foolish prejudice against the goat Its flesh is even superior to mutton, pUs- sessing gamey flavor, in which the sheep is lacking, and if the males are castratcd at an early age, fatted. and sold at about year old, we venture to predict that once the public is educated tot the value of the meat there will grow up a demand which will not be easily supplied, As to the flesh of the kid, it ls excellent. The goat being herbuceouS, and living on the same food as the sheep, should destroy all prejudice that may exist. The she goat sometimes gives aS much as six quarts of milk. if they are su- perior milkers, and the milk is not only rich in cream but in all the ele- ments that form comple;e food. Butter is not made from goats milk, bat some of the richest and best favored cheeses are produced from it. We predict that ere long we will be- gin 10 import strains of good milking goats from Europe.-Farm, Field and Stockman.

A Mexican living near Warmers Lake brought in word on Saturday evening that the body 0: an Ameri- can had been found in the fields near his place, in an advanced stage of de- composition. Marshal Roche and Coroner Smith went out to investi gate the affair and to recover the body. The man had apparently been dead more than q week, as the flesh was q mass of rutrid matter, upon which myi isds of worms were hold ing gluttnnous carnival. Coroner Smith examined the body and em
 ptied the pockets, finding a small bo,
 tie of laudanum, from wl.i' net enough had been taken to produce any harm to even :I child; and le = ter written from Tombstone, con- mencing with My Dear BOb," and signed by Otto Peterson. He wore brown cloth pants and vert of good quality, white shirt and Panama hat; his cuffs contained buttons with an anchor device upon them. Grasses aud weeds had been gathered fer . bed and he was lying across it with his hat shading his face as though he had goke to sleep in that position, never again to awaken to the sorrows of this mortal existence. Mir. Smith could not remove the body and in spite of the offpnsiyeness of the task he gathered the remains into q coffin and buried them. There is no proof that the man committed suicide, the bottle ot laudanum being the only suggestion that he had taken his own life. and yet it was quite apparent that but few drops, if any at all, had been taken out of it. Unless the let ter succeeds in establishing his iden- tity it is probable that the world and his friends will never know who the stranger was that walked out under the shady trees one bright :! orning and never returred.-Citizen.

Yoir in Miller's canyon, is also clean. A small feeder, about a half mile below the main reservoir, needs lit- tie cleaning, as the banks of the cut are caved slightly.
 The big tank on Contention Hill is clean.
 Our samples for anal:'sis were taken First-City Water Works, from the well at Watervale.
 Second-Sycamore Water works, from the reservoir as the water enters the pipes coming to Tombstone. Third-Huachuc Water Company There being three feeders in the mountains. he sample Was taken from the tank on Contention hill. The chemist to whom this water is sent, has DO Knowledge of the various sources.
 Our recommendations are that the tailinge of the Rattlesnake mill 1e scattered further down the canyon at a lower level. We think this would be safer.
 As to the Sycamore, WI think the water from the spring ought to be
 
 connected direct y by an iron pipe with the mai pipe leading to town, and the u: F ot the reservoir be dis continued till put in better shape. From what we have learned and noticed during our examlna, ion We reiterate the recommendation of the grand jury that an inspec i'm be made twice each year, of the various feser- voirs and tanks. We would suggest that about the first Of May, before the beginning of the dry season, an about the first of October, at the cltse f tho rainy season, are the proper times.
