THE ELIXIR OF LIFE.
An Experiment Made at Galveston with
Only Partial Results-AnOther
Trial Wanted.
Special to the Gazette.

GALVESTON, TEX, Aug. 16.-The
Brown Sequard elixir has been tried in
this city. The experiment was made by
Dr.. Cary A Wilkinson, surgeon and
chief physician of st. Mary IS hospital, a
few days ago. The patient the doctor
described as a superannuated young man
who came into his Office and said he felt
as old as a man of seventy.
1.-the treatment which he had been
subject to - the doctor said, ''did not
seem to have the desired result, and
determined to try the elixir to test its
pronounced efficiency and famIiarize my
self with the technique of the operation
Having procured the elixir from healthy
lamb, with the assistance of DR.. Samuel
A. Towsey 1 gave the young man sub
cutaneous injection. The application was
not followed by any immediate
favorable results. again saw
the young man the day after the
administa alton of the elixir. and in re-
ply as to how he felt answered that he
felt better, but whether it was the result
of the injection or from other causes
am not prepared to say. will, however,
say that am a doubling Thomas as TO
any real or permanently efficaciOus re-
suits from this much talked of remedy,
and before arriving at any definite
conclusions as to its merits
must give it further trial.
This propose to do as soon as can get
a number of thoroughly healthy animals
from which can get the elixir in all its
purity. 1 will then make an experiment
of some of the old chronic cases l have
under my treatment in the hospital,
watch it's effects, and Their be
able to speak more intelligently as
to the efficiency of this new re-
juvenator. The young man whom 1
treated is so thoroughly convinced that
he has been benefited by the injection
that he is seeking on his own behalf to
procure the elixir for second injection,
but thus far has failed. -
As far as could be ascertained, this is
the only application of the elixir made by
any of the medical profession in the
city. There are several of the more
progressive members of the profess
sion who are anxious to make
experiments if they can procure healthy
animals, while the older and more con-
sentative members, as one expressed it
last night, regard it as an ''arrant hum
bug - There are any number here who
are willing to have the elixir injection if
it will produce results so graphically de-
scribed in the various accounts of the
press.

CHICAGO, Ill, Aug. ia special
from Hersey says: &C. G. Schege of this
city, who claims to have discovered that
Tascott is serving a term for horse steal
ing in the Michigan state prison, is in
dignant at some of the statements in the
newspapers in connection with the affair.
He maintains, with considerable vehe-
mence, that when he went to
Chicago to consult with the
friends of Smell, the murdered
millionaire, he discovered indisputable
evidence that there is a ring in Chicago
who are interested in keeping the matter
quiet, and that he will disclose this evil
dence within a short time. He also de-
clares he has new proof that the man in
Jackson is Tascott He is now in receipt
of letters from parties, who, before the
published accounts, refused to assist him
but are now anxious to take hold. -

heavy rains yesterday and last night
weakened the structure and caused the
wreck. The track will be blocked for
sixty hours.

The Judge Tells Why He Assesse the Maxi
mum Punishment,
NEW YORK, Aug. 16 .-Eban S. Allen,
the defaulting ex-president of the Fourth
and Grand street ferry railroad company,
who pleaded guilty to two indictments
one hundred thousand dollars worth of
stock of the company, was sentenced by
Judge Gildersleeve to-day to seven years
Imprisonment at hard labor on each
charge, the maximum penalty for the
offences.
Allen looked pale and downcast. When
he reached the courtroom he was met by
his counsel, Lawyer Eustis, and his
brother, Elmer L. Allen. Lawyer Eustis
tried to cheer Allen up but did not suc-s
coed very well. The courtroom was
crowded at IL o'clock when Judge5si1-
dersleeve entered court. When asked
what he had to say why sentence Should
not be pronounced on himAllen turned and
looked at his counsel but did not utter a
syllable. MIR. Eustis after some de-
liberation said there was nothing
to add to what had already
been presented in regard to the previous
good character of the prisoner. Ju dye
Gildersleeve, then addressing Allen,
said: ''Mr. Allen, you pleaded guilty
to two indictments. 1 am informed by
the district attorney that although other
charges could be preferred against you,
none other than those to which you have
pleaded will be preferred. l have re-
ceived letters from a number of friends
of yours, and many persons have been to
see me with regard to your case, but af-
ter very careful consideration OF the
whole matter, taking into considera-
ton that punishment should be
inflicted on you on the charges
which are not pressed, I see no reason
why 1 should not impose the maximum
penalty. The sentence of the court is
that you be confined in the state prison
at hard labor for seven years on this
indictment, which l hold in my hands,
and under the other indictment that you
be also confined at hard labor for seven
years, to begin at the expiration of the
first term. - Allen turned sickly pale
as he was led back to the pen. He
looked around the room but none of his
friends except his brother were present.
Even his wife, whose extravaganza is
said to have been the cause of her hus-
band s ruin, failed to come to court.
