The Brown.sequard ElIxlr

CLEVELAND, o., Aug. 12.-Within
a few days the public will in all proba-
bility have settled conviction CONCERN
ing the Brown-Squard elixir. The
question of the efficiency of restoring
lost energy and building up, was sub
mitted to-day to jury; as intelligent
as probably could have been selected.
1t was not a jury of twelve which is
considered sufficient for the ends OF
Justice, but a tribunal of thiTty-two
ladies and gentleman and that their
verdict might have weight in the scien-
tific world, special care was taken in
their selection. The first considera-
tion was that they were to have some
positive ajlment. The next considera-
ton was that they were to be persons
general physical health. DR.. Brainard
is conducting the examination.
He has made extensive eX-
periments on a large number of
selected sheep, killed in his presence
! and after selecting the parts he desired
for the experiments, retired to a jury
of twentY-four men and women of the
most intelligent class. One was tele-
graph operator who was suffering from
| paralysis. It was arranged that they
should make written statement of its
effects and tomorrow afternoon they
will submit their reports.
In a large number of the
cases two reports viii be required
upon receiving the statement. Dr.
Brainard will compile concise report
| of the experiments. He feels that his
scientific reputation, in a measure, is
involved. If the experiment is a com
plete failure the report will say so and
| If it is followed by the full assurance OF
success, that fact will be duly set forth
It is probably the finest test ever made
| in systematic manner. as each
one of the jurors was treated by in
jections of the fluid taken directly
from the sheep by DR.. Brainard in
their presence.

SHOOTING ARRAY.
Judge Terry Shot by United
States Marshal Nagle.
Damage to Forest Fires Will
Amount to 100000.
A Complaint Against the Rock
Island Railroad.
Will Accept the Proposition
Kilrain Arrested.

LATHRoP, Gala, Aug. 14.-Upon
the arrival of the Southern Overland
train here at $50 this morning, United
States Supreme Judge Stephen G. Field
and Deputy United States Marshal
Nagle walked into the depot dining
room for breakfast, and sat down side
by side. Soon afterward Judge David
S. Terry and wife came in also. They
were proceeding to another table, when
Mrs. Terry, evidently recognizing JUS
tlce Field, did not sit down, but retired
to the train for some unknown pur-
pose. Before she reached it, however,
and as soon as she had left the dining
room, Judge Terry approached Justice
Field and STOPPING over him, slapped
his face: At this juncture Deputy
Marshal Magic arose from his seat and
shot Judge Terry through the heart.
As he was falling the deputy marshal
shot again, but missed him, the bullet
going through the floor. Both shots
were fired in very quick succession.
The judge never uttered a sound
after being shot. He had hardly fallen
when Mrs. Terry rushed to the side of
his body and threw herself upon it.
Then ensued a scene of widest excite
ment; people rushed from the dining
room and others rushed in. During
| this time Justice Field and Deputy
Marshal Maggie retTeated To a sleeping
| car where they were securely locked
within. AT times Mrs. Terry would
call upon the citizens to arrest them.
| Before the train pulled OUT Constable
| Walker entered the sleeper and was
carried away on board the train. He
| informed the spectators that he knew
his duty and would perform it. Dur
| ing the time the train was standing al
the depot, Mrs. Terry was running
| wildly alternately from the body of heI
husband to tie sleeper demanding ad-
mlttance that she might slap Justice
ging that they be detained and have
their examination. Previous to the
entrance of Constable Walker into the
Sleeper, Sheriff Purvis and deputy Of
stanlslaus county had already takeI
charge of Deputy United States Mar
shall Maggie.
After the shooting, Deputy United
States Marshal Maggie backed VI
against the wall of the dining room
and warned everyone not to arrest hin
saying he was United States marsha
in the discharge of his duty. There
was no semblance of an at
tempt to modest him at am
any time. Constable Walker tool
Deputy Nagle from the train at TRACY
and proceeded with him to Stockton
where he is now in Jail. District At
torney White ordered the arrest o
Justice Field upon his arrival in San
Francisco, and telegraphed the ordel
to the Sheriff of San Francisco.

BISMARCK OF TO-DAY.
His Personal Appearance and His Ability
as an Orator.

Bismarck has grown old during the
last few years, his mustache is white
as snow, and his walk less erect than
i'll former years. but the power of his
face and the might of his eyes live
still the same as they were ten years
ago. When he sits down it is as if he
was on guard. his sword laid across
his knees. as formerly old Hagen used
to sit, and though he is no Hagen in
guilt and wickedness, he 10 a Hagen
in faithfulness, and, if need be, in
stern wrath. And he is on guard at
the gates of the Fatherland.
Bismarck, as everybody knows, is
not an orator. nearly $said. thank
God, he is no orator. His speech has
been likened to a forest stream which
tumbles over stones and roots. The
comparison is somewhat poor.
think know better, though a rather
technical one-namely, his speech is
like quicksilver drawn out. Take a
drop of quicksilver containing some
lead or zinc, put it on a pane of
glass and hold it slantingiy. The
drop swells and rolls, but presently it
stops, becomes thinner and longer, re-
gathers new strength to flow, becomes
thin once again, and so forth. Thus,
it is with the chancellor's words; first
half of a sentence comes out, then he
hesitates, stops, or utters short iuar-
ticulate sound. and goes on again. 1t
is evident that to speak is physical
exertion, but even when he is in first
rate form he does not talk fiuently.
But on closer observation the reason
appears very soon. The form of his
speech is improyised on the spur of the
| moment, but, unlike many fluent
! speakers, he does not use the first ex-
preston which may come to his mind,
| but while he is uttering the first half
of a sentence he is thinking of how to
shape the second half IN order to ex-
express exactly what he wishes to say.
| If he makes joke or a slight observation
he speaks quickly and without hesita-
ton. but as soon as he returns to the
serious treatment of a political sub
| iect this painfully accurate expression,
| the result of mental work, becomes
| again apparent, which shows that he
| endeavOrs not to say syllable which
| he cannot reconcile with his RESPONSE
/ BILE position. This is the reason why
his speeches concerning foreign poll
| ties. read like official diplomatic docu
ments, every word is carefully consid
cred.
| His voice is peculiar, high-pitchec
and not very powerful 1t has beer
called a thin voice, but this only ex
presses one of its qualities. Another
| is that it is so remarkably young tina
one would think it almost incredible
for a man of his age to possess such 1
| voice. If one does not see him while
he is speaking it is difficult to believ'
| that it is not q young lieutenant o
| twenty-eight who he is speaking
| (Which. by the way. is rather a pity
| since the snarl and the draWl of thu
German Iiautenant is proverbially de
| testabIe). But put in connection witt
this quality it can sound extremely
soft and fattering, and l should no
be surprised if in former years, wheI
| he was Ambassador, some of his per
sonai successes had been due just T.

Disastrous Fire.

WHEELING, w. Va. Aug. 13.-At 4
O'Clock this morning, two stables were
fired simultaneously in an alley in the
square bounded by Market and Main,
and Fourteenth and Sixteenth streets.
and were almost instantly ablaze. The
entire fire department was called out
and with some difficulty got the flames
under control. A few minutes before
the alarm was turned in, a man was
seen to run out of the alley and run up
Fourteenth street. His actions were
suspicious and he is known by the
police to be a man open TO suspicion.
This is the third time that similar
attempt has been made to burn this
same block which is one of the costliest
in the city. The circumstances recall
the events of ten years ago when niue
teen incendiary ires occurred i'll one
week and suspicion this morning points
to the same individual. The loss by
this mornings fire was about Sic, 900.

Insurance adjusters, representative

PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. 14.-The at
mosphere for miles around is thick
with smoke and cinders, and burning
brands are falling in showers. All the
northwestern country seems to be
burning up in forest fires. The smoke
has been 50 dense in Portland for the
last two or three weeks that for time
it was impossible to see far up the
street, and the sun and moon looked
like great balls of fire. In the harbOr
the smoke has had the effect of fog.
and steamers have been required to
blow their whistles every few minutes
to avoid collisions. It is estimated
that the total damage by forest fires in
the northwest this year will amount to
nearly S500,O00.
