Tne Atmosphere FILLED with the Germs
OF Influenza - Its Spread In America
Predicted-A Prescriptlon for the Care
OF the Disease.
New YORK, Dec. 19.-Dr. Edison pre-
diets that influenza, the disease which
has caused so much annoyance in Rus
sia, France, Austria, and even in little
Greece and Turkey, will make itself
equally obnoxious in America. Tho
doctor says that the disease, which most
people are inclined to attribute to the
atmosphere, Is really caused BY bacteria.
These germs Of influenza were diffused
through the atmosphere and were pot
brought over by the STEAMSHIP.
This is DR.. Edson's remedy for the in
duenza: Take 10 per cent solution Of
quinine and spray the afflicted MEM
brane freely and frequently. At inter-
walls during the day pill composed Of
three grains of quinine, one-eighth of
grain Of camphor, and one-quarter Of .
grain Of the extract Of belladonna. This
will have the effect Of destroying tho
bacteria and also aiding In building up
the debilitated system 50 that when the
disease has left other diseases may not
follow.

BosToN, Dec. 20.-The European in
fluenza is q sad reality, and Rostonians
are beginning to realize that fact
The first case was reported about
. week ago. Now they are NUM-
bered by the scorc in all parts
of the city. The symptoms are similar
TO those reported from the continent.
The victims complain of pains in the
head. in the back and in the legs, their
eyes and nose discharge profusely, they
experience considerable nausea, and
there is more or less rise in their
temperature. The havoc it makes In
certain quarters Is almost amusing. r.

New York, Dec. 20.-Physicians say
that the number Of cases of influenza in

matter, the ailment not being Of dan
ger0us character.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 2O.-There has
been ) widespread epidemic Of in
fluenxa in mild form in this city
for some time, and II is gradual

DETROIT, Mich, Dec. 2O.-The Rus

curiously enough. SO far only bank en-

however. to the report that the
microbes travel in paper money,
and when the contagious paper has
been freely circulated in the city it is
expected the disease will become epi-
demic. The symptoms are different in
nearly every case. In some it produces

pressed 1t, while in others the lining to
the nose, mouth and throat is affected;
still others have cough. Lameness is
one Of the general points in which it
shows up strong.

ST. Louis, Dec. 19.-George A. Guen-
ther, an aged man, was killed Tuesday
by his l6-year-old son Emile, who after
ward surrendered himself to tho
police. Wednesday Charles Guenther,
IN older brother Of the murderer, called
at the Office of the chief of police to &C.
cure permission to interview Emile, and
told horrible tale Of brutality on tho
part Of the murdered man. The sons
story brands the dead man IS fend i'm
carnate, who delighted in acts Of inhu-
manity toward his children, tax
ing pleasure in torturing them BY
methods practiced only by the
most barbarous. Among other cru
elites alleged was the chaining up
Of the children in dismal apartments,
nude, and while in that condition
torturing them with ell the savagery
practiced in the inquisition. Charles
Guenthers story in brief Is as follows:
He says that in 1884, when he was Is
years Of age, his father had torture
chamber in the house In which
chains, whipping post, clubs, ETC.,
made up the furniture. For .
trivial offense he was taken into the
chamber, and, II he resisted, was over
powered, stripped naked and chained 70
. post One chain about the neck almost
strangled him. His father then took :
needle and punctured him from head to
foot until the blood flowed freely. Then
the inhuman parent took . bottle Of
whisky and rubbed the liquor into
the wounds The boy tainted at
the second application. and when
he regained consciousness he
was still chained up and still
naked. He was released by his sister,
who was subsequently chained up for
the offense. The boy complained to the
police, and the old man was arrt sted
and the story proved to be true. The
lad never afterward returned home.
Emile Guenther, the boy OF 16 who
killed the old man, called on his sister
to tell the authorities what he had suf-
fered before he lef. home. It was shown
that he had been chained up for days at
q time and had been beaten and tortured
in the most horrible manner. He left
home when he was Is. Tuesday he re-
turned to see his married sister, and HE
father, hearing that he was in the house,
came in rage and ordered him out. He
started to 60 and was followed through
the chamber by the old man. In . fury
he picked up hatchet and killed his
father. The stories of torture are cor.
federated by the neighbors-
The boy Emile acts like an imbecile,
and it is believed that he has been
driven insane by the cruelty Of his IA
ther and the tragedy Of Tuesday.
Wednesday he failed to recognize his
own brother, and when he was appealed
to almost supplicatingly for recogni tion
there was silly smile about the muir
derer's mouth.

The Master WOrkman Denies the ca
spsracy Charges Made By CallaGhsn.

The Master WOrkman Denies the Con.
spiracy Charges Mads by CaIlaghan.
SCRANTON, Pa, Dec. 9O.-Hon. I. v.
Powderly furnished the local papers
with lengthy statement Of his difficult
ty with Hon. Edward Callaghan, Of
Scottdale. which led to the present pros
ecution for conspiracy. Mr.. Powderly's
version in brief is IS follows:
The trouble dates back to the appointment Of
committee Of Knights Of Labor In the spring
Of 1851 to watch legislation in the interests Of
working men as It came before the General
Assembly Of Pennsylvania This CON-
mittee Was appointed by conven-
tion called by Mr.. Powderiy. He heard
no more OF the matter until March q 1883, when
he received letter from Edward Callaghan
saying that the committee neglected Its
duty. and that the writer was reliably in
formed that members who stood high in tho
order did not want the committees reports
published. In reply TO this Mr.. Powderly
wrote that be had not been before apprised
that the committee had neglected its duty. and
at any rate the matter was not in his hands.
In conclusion, Mr.. Powderly requested Mr..
Csllaghan TO give his authority for saying
thai members who stand high In the order do
not want the reports published" asking
this under the seal Of the General Master
Workman. Callaghan refused to make known
his authority, but wrote Powderly . scorching
letter, charging him with treachery and lying
and With conspiring to cause his (Callaghan's)
political downfall.
Mr.. Powderly says that he knows
nothing Of the present case except what
he has seen in the newspapers, but sup
poses that 1t is = renewal Of the charge
OF conspiracy. He does not know Cal
laghan, though that gentleman claims
to have met him in the Bingham
House, Philadelphia, April 7, 1887. He
thinks that there is no doubt that his
name has been used by Callaghan's OPP
ponents, but he says he IL not re-
sponsible for that. The libel IL
not against Callaghan, but against him
self, for, although he is thoroughly inno-
cent in the matter, he has been sub
jected to persecution and damaging al
legations. Callaghen has even gone 50
far as to write Mr.. Powderly that he
had made fool OF Cardinal Gibbons by
lying to him and every one else. Mr..
Powderly has not yet been arrested.
