CUTS IN PAssE EGER Rates.
Danger That the Fight Now on in the
West Will Spread

Danger That the Fight Now on in the
West viii Spread.
CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-The Tires tomorrow
will say: There is danger that the cut
in passenger rates inaugurated by the Pan
Handle road will spread over much more
territory than it now occupies. The Ohio,
Indiana and Western road makes the
threat that if these rates are not
soon restored it will adopt rates
between indianapolis and all western
poin on a basis to correspond with the
Pennsylvania's Chicago rate Such a step
Will, in fact. be necessary for the prOtec-
ton of the in ere,ts of the roa |, and beyond
doubt the Ohio and Mississippi, and all lines
leadl G westward from Cincinnati, Louis
vile and India ap lis will be forced to the
necessity Of taking similar action.
NO TELLING WHERE IT WILL END.
''If the ball is set rolling in that direction
there is no telling where it will stop. Pass
enger rates viii be SO demoralized tnat
Chicago west bound roads will find it diff
cult to keep out Of the Fl hit. The threat
ened reduction by the Ohio, Iudiana and
w estern will cut t @ rate via Peoria to
points competitive with the Chicago lines
and may lead to a general pulling down of
rates IL all directions unless measures are
speedily taken to to c4eck the spread of the
epidemic.
Although it is claimed that the scalping
Of mileage tickets is at the bottom of the
| trouble, it is generally believed that this
outbreak is in reality part of a boycott
scheme inaugurated by the Pennsylvania
and Louisville and Nashville against the
Monon and Ohio a d Mississippi roads
on account of the failu of the last
named Dads to use the Louisville bridge.

WOOD HE STOMACH.
A Woman Had Eaten Two Pounds {
Wood and Long Rag.

Woman Had Eaten Two Pounds of
Wood and a Long Rag.
A case which is likely to attract the pro-
found attention of the medical minds of the
state has been developed in Birmingham.
Ala.
Mrs. j. j. Murphy, the wife of laborer.
died recently after a short illness with some
disease of the stomach, the nature of which
physicians we're unable to determine. After
uer death DR.. Stoves, who had been her
a tending physician for two weeks prior to
her death, obtained the consent of the dead
woman's husband to make an autopsy, to
ascertain the disease from the effects of
which she died. He accor iingly opened
the stom ch ard found most surprising con-
ditionS. On each side there was a mass of
nbrous matter, and on the rigdt side a
large rag was wrapped up in the fibrous
material.
DR.. Stoves removed the entire stomach
from the body and made a close examina-
ZION. 1t was ascertained that the fibers
were of wood. The mass as take i from
the stomach was then weighed aud tipped
the beam at exactly two pou IDS. Then the
question arose, how did 80 mucl wood get
INTO the woman's stomach. and how long
had it been there befo. death ensued
Mrs. Murphy, two we ks before her de-
mise, summoned DIR. Stoves aud complained
Of the most excruciasiug pain in her stom-
ach. She said she had been suffering
from these pains for years and she was at
loss to kno@ what they were attributable
to. She mentioned incidentally thai she
had been a great snuff dipper for many
years. DR.. Stoves made an exa nj Iatlon.
but could discover no symptoms of disease
and told her so. He administered soma
medicine, thinking it would give relief, but
II did not have the desired effect.
I woman 500 began get worse. and
about week ago bega t. sink Dr.. Stoves
called in DR.. Davis, and the two had a co -
suItauon and made another full examina-
ii m, but could not discover tae nature of
her trouble. An operation was di cusssd.
but the lady was 50 eal that tue chances
were she would die under the ife. and
this had TO be dropped. The physic ans did
all they could for ner, but to no evail. and
Wednesday afternoon, about $3.50 O'Clock.
she died.
The only reasonable theory that can ac-
count for the appeara &C OF the two pounds
OF wood in the stomach is that at various
times Mrs. Murphy swallowed small pieces
OF her SNUFF brushes. and that the mass was
the accumulation Of years. Tue presence of
the rag amid the wood cannot be acc unted
for. 1t was two or three feet long and
closely imbed led in the wood.
