it will be many days before the dread
effects of this catrastrophe will all have
been forgotten. Each week some new
horror is brought to sight and instead of
time decreasing tho records of destruc-

have in many cases followed the destruc-

tale is not all told.

No man should deprive his wife and
family Of good local newspaper. They
do not go out from home to learn the
news as does the husband and father, and
the paper serves to relieve the otherwise
lonely hours of his absence. 1t is the
worst possible economy to deprive the
family Of local paper.

REMARKABLE CASE.
Man Living and Perfectly Conscious with
Two Bullets i'm His Brain.

CHICAGO, July 31.-The case of Herman
Carman, a wealthy real estate man, who
made an unsuccessful attempt to commit
suicide yesterday afternoon, is regarded by
the doctors as one of the most remarkable
of the kind on record. Notwithstanding
the fact that the second bullet fired by the
man passed upward through the roof of the
mouth and penetrated the brain, he is con-
scious, and recognizes not only the members
of the family, but also the doctors and
others whom he has seen. He knows all
that is going on about him, and realizes the
enormity of his act.
Drs. G. III. Graves and Webster prObed for
both the balls this morning, and found the
first bullet, fired Sunday, lodged in the
thick bone about the ear; and the other,
and the one likely to prove fatal, was found
TO be in the top of the head near the skull.
The effect of this bullet has been to par
alive the right side of the body, and from
this fact the doctors know the exact l0cali-
ty of the ball. DIR. Graves says there is but
one hope of q complete recovery, and that
lies in removing o part of the skull, and
taking out the bullet from the brain. The
case is considered all the more remarkable
from the fact that during the two days Mr..
Carman carried the first bullet in his head
he partook heartily of food, and talked with
every one in way not to arouse the slight
est suspicious of the family.

DIR. EARP'S ECCENTRICITIES.
Two Opinions Held About the Reverend Gentle
mans Sanity-New Victims Discovered.

ANN ARBoR, July 31.-The Incarceration
of Rev. DR.. Samuel carp at the Battle
Greek sanitarium is the sole topic of con-
versation here, and there are two distinct
shades of opinion in the matter. The ma
jority believe that he is insane. or, at best,
a monomaniac, and point to many peculiar
facts in support of their theory Others
believe that the reverend gentleman has
been guilty of gross wrong. and that his
eccentricities were put on solely to aid
him in securing immunity when the ex-
posture came. Before leaving for Battle
Creek Dr. carp said that it was nobody's
business what he did with his money. but
he explained that he had Endorsed heavily
for his brother in Danvills, Pa, and that
brother dying suddenly had shifted the
responsibility upon his shoulders. Dr.
Earp's brother died in Danville, insolvent,
but investigation shows that the estate
owed the parson but 500. including all the
Endorsements.
New victims are being discovered hourly,
and 1T is probable that the aggregate
amount of DR.. Earps peculiar acquisitions
Will reach $4,000. The widows of the city
are victims to great extent. One old
woman saved $1,000 with which to
pay off a mortgage on her home DIR: carp
borrowed $500 of the amount. Mrs. Morris,
widow of the late Professor Morris, is an
indorser on Earp's paper for q large amount;
but the bank failed to notify her and she
is relieved of legal obligation. Mrs. Re-
becca Henriques is indorser for 81. 900 worth
of the carp paper held by an Ypsilanti bank.
Mrs. Kelly, a widow of very limited means,
mourns the loss of 500 loaned to the Doc
tor. 1t is reported that the Hobart Hall
fund lost $4,000. but this is probably due to
the fact that DR.. carp subscribed that sum
and never paid it.
What has become of the money! That is
the question. Recently handsome pulpit
was placed in st. Andrews Church. and
DR.. carp notified the vestry that it was the
gift of a friend. 1t transpires that he Dor
rowed the money and bought it. Elegant
curtains were furnished to Hobart Hall by
friend. DE-. carp was the friend, and
borrowed money paid for the curtains. A
plot of ground adjoining the church was
decided to the parish by friend. 1t isnow
certain that DR.. carp bought the ground
with borrowed money. However, these
are but trifles and would exhaust but a
1.-THE of the money raised by irregular
methods He has lived fairly well, but in
no sense extravagantly. and his family are
models of economy. DR.. Earps resigna-
ton has been demanded, to take effect i'm
mediately.

AFFAIRS AT THE CAPITOL.
The State House an Excellent Building for a
Summer Residence.

Governor HOvey, accompanied by his
private secretary, Mr.. Roberts, left for
Plaintield yesterday afternoon, and the
Capitol building would have been empty of
elected State officers but for the return of
Secretary of State Griffin from Danville,
and the presence of Clerk w. T. Noble, of
the Supreme Court. The building is the
coolest place in the city barring the ice
houses, and Custodian Griffin thinks man
could be frozen to death if he could be
kept sufficient length of time before the
ventilatOr fans. 1t was expected that the
work of regarding the grounds, for which
the Legislature made an appropriation of
$1,000, would be done this season, but there
is some doubt about it's being finished this
year, owing to the scarcity of funds. The
stone wall around the grounds. which now
only serves to reduce the effect of height
in the building, and to support the anatO-
mics of citizens who find it superior to a
double spring-mattrass on summer after
moons, will be removed. and the lawns will
be graded down to the street line when the
work ia finished
