MONEY TO BUY A GREEK TOWN.
Americans Propose to Dig for the Re-
mains of the Delphic Gods Temple.

mains of the Delphic Gods Temple.
From the Neto York san.
Bishop Potter invited number of gen.
tlemen interested in classical culture, some
of whom were wealthy, to meet Prof Nor
ton of Harvard college at the Episcopal
building in Lafayette place last evening
and hear him make an appeal in behalf of
the American school at Athens Among
those who accepted the Invitation were
Henry G. Marquand, Cornelius Wander
bilt, W. G. Howells, jesse Seligman, Will
lam F. Whitenouse, Roswell Smith, Samuel
Sloan, Prof. Botta, Prof. Ware, and lot of
other college men.
Prof Norton said that he had originally
intended to ask for but SIS, 900 to put the
American school at Athens on a permanent
basis, but that since he had left Boston he
had lear ed that permission to excavate the
site of the ancient Temple of Apollo at
Delphi had been obtained from the Greek
government. As the town of Castri is
built over the site, it is necessary to buy
out the inhabitants before the excavating
can begin, and to do this $75. 900 is required
He accordingly asked for $15O,OOO
Prof. Sloan of Princeton, Prof Merriam
of Columbia, who spent last winter in
Athens, and Prof. Goodwin of Harvard
followed up Prof. Nortons appeal, dilating
on the triumph it would be to American
scholarship to dig up the remains Of the
abode of the ancient oracle
When they had finished Bishop Potter
announced that Messrs. Sloan, Vanderbilt,
Seligman, Prof. Ware, and a fifth gentle
man 10 be subsequently, named would form
a committee to receive subscriptions A
little later he announced that Mr. Seligmcp
and Roswell Smith had subscribed 81 900
each. At this Prof. Norton got up again
and said he was sorry that Bishop Potter
had announced subscriptions of 81 900 to
head the list, as $4,000 ought to be the
figure to start with. He added that it
wasn't necessary to pay cash, but that if
ten gentlemen would guarantee the amount
to buy Castri he could at once avail him
self by telegraph of the permission OBJ
tanned from the Greek government. Sup
per was announced at this point, and not
much more progress was made toward the
purchase of the site of Delphi

ToRNApoEs AND CYCLONES.
An Expert OF the Signal Service Ex-
plains How They are Formed.
From the New 70 L World.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-Lieut. John P.
Finley, of the United States Signal Ser
vice, who is the tornado expert Of the estab-
lishnent and has published dozen books
on the subject, gave an explanation to q
correspondent of the tOrnadoes which swept
over Pittsbug, Reading and Brooklyn last
week.
They we're tornadoes," said the lieuten-
ant, and it is a mistake to call them
cyclones. Cyclones are storms of a very
different kind and belong to the West Indies.
The tornado is funnei-shaped column of
disturbed air, generally about 40 or 50 yards
IN diameter, which whirls round and round
upon an axis almost perpendicular and
sweeps across the country at the rate posi-
bly, Of thousand miles an hour. Its de-
structlve powers is terrific. 1t forms in the
upper air few miles overhead and works
down TO the earth. Its track is generally
not more than about twenty-five miles until
it disappears into the upper air, whence it
came.
'The tornadoes which struck Pittsburg,
Reading and Brooklyn were entirely sepa-
rate and distinct These tornadoes are
local, and only incidents of general Storm
The general storm last Wednesday began in
Eastern New Mexico, moved directly east
ward to Southern Arkansas. thence di-
ICNbiF AiOl bhOdobHdil W IulCuISdu anu
Northern Canada The diameter of the
general storm was about 500 miles. The
center of the general storm was between
Chicago and Grand Haven, Mich. Draw a
circle of 500 miles radius from the general
storm center and you will fiud that in the
southeastern quadrant of that circle lorna
does will form and will move towards some
point in the northeastern quadrant
" At o'clock Wednesday morning there
were sOutherly winds and very high tenn
perature along the South Atlantic coast
In Florida the temperature was over 70'
while III Pennsylvania it was below 3d.
The isothermic line for that day bulges up
ward at Chicago and drops violently down
ward through Pennsylvania and Northern
Virginia. The hot air south of the sother-
mic line was struggling to get northward,
and the cold air north of the line Yas strug-
Cling to get south. IL was this struggle
that caused the tornado. The cold air ulti-
nately prevailed. That is to say, on the
ground level the cold air crushed the warm
air out. The warm air was simply driven
from the earth to an upper stratum.
Normally the air is much warmer on
the earth's surface than it is skyward but
on the day of the tornado if you had got
into a ball on at Pittsburg and assembled q
mile or two you would have struck warmer
air as you went up. The line where the
warm and cold air came into closest con-
tact was the line where the tornado
formed"

HIS FIFTH RIB WAS REMOVED.
John Hixson Of Linton, Ind, Saved by
a Wonderful Surgical Operation.
TrOtu the Nom York IVO,Jd

from the NetU YORK WOrtd.
WoRTHNGToN, IND, Jan. 14-John
Hixson, of Linton, is in a fair way to re-
cover from one of the most remarkable
surg cal operations on record. Tuesday of
last week DR.. j. A. Minnich, of this city
removed from Hixsons body almost all of
the fifth rib on the left side lying directly
over tine heart.
The operation was made necessary by an
abscess, which began to be apparent about
three wears ago. Hixson was then 81 wears
old. He suffered pains in his side and his
health declined, till a year ago, a protuber-
ance appeared on the left breast from which
pus exuded. Underneath, the rib Welded to
pressure with cracking sound. Last May
a small piece of bore worked through to
the surface. hixsou consulted DR.. Minnich
and was advised To wait. Ills condition
| became worse AID OF late has been so had
that his life was despaired of. DR.. Munich
| decided at length to use the knife
| HiXson was o. the operating table about
| an hour The rib, when exposed, was found
| TO be much decayed. 1t was removed from
its sheath and beneath it the action of the
| heart was visible A large abscess was dis
| covered and removed. Throughout the op-
Grafton the utmost care was necessary in
order that no injury should be done to the
] pleura or lining of the thorax, directly be
| meath which lay the heart, which shook
with its pulsatious the very membrane from
which the surgeons knife must remove the
unhealthy growth. Hixso 5 wife was
present during tho operation, and despaired
of the result when she realized the danger;
that must he avoided. Neverthelc s, th,
rib was removed successfully. Since thC
operation Hixson has reg dned his appetite
and has suffered little pain. To-day, sitting
| in rocsing-chair at his home he felt con
| tident that he could resume work within
| fe weeks.
Dr. Minnch is graduate of the Univer
sity Of New York of the class of 1856
Afterward he had ten years experience IN
the Indiana Surgical Institute. This is the
first time that he has performed this opera
ton. 1t is, indeed, a very rare one, though

ATLANTA, GA, Jan. 1S.-Georgia Floyd,
q colored woman, was found dead on the
floor of her room near the glassworks to-
day Her head was crushed in, apparently
by many blows with a heavy iron weight
which was found by the body. indicating a
most brutal murder. The evidence showed
that the crime was committed last night
after the woman had gone to sleep and i'm

rested
The superior court took up the divorce
docket to-day and 200 cases demand at
tention. There were ten verdicts to-day.
ONE OF CONSIDERABLE INTEREST.
On account of the prominence Of the
parties public interest was keenly drawn to
the ga of Mrs. Isoline Austell VS.. w. W
Austell, in which total divorce and per-
manent alimony are asked. A first verdict
was given. The libelant is a daughter of
the late Judge Lochrane, aud the respondent
is a son of the late Gen. Alfred Austell.
The libel alleges brutality, drunkenness,
cruel treatment and adultery.
A suit was filed in the superior court to-
day by Carrie Evans against the Central
railroad for damages on account of the
death Of her husband, George c. Evans,
who was run over and killed by Central

EVIL OMENs.
None of these missing sailing vessels was
of more than 800 tons burden, and carried
a crew of from four to fifteen men The
steamers, of course, were larger and re-
quired more men to WORK them. Except IN
a very few cases, none of the crews Of miss
ing vessels ever returned to tell the tale of
their vessels loss.
The fact that nearly all of those reported
missing bore either a man or womanS
name gives superstitious people chance to
talk. Three Of the vessels that were re-
ported missing last week bore the names OF
Individuals They were the schooner Ella
York on Nov. "A; the schooner E. NJ. Ba-
con. from the same port for New York ON
Nov. Is, and the brig L. w. q 7. Arm
strong. from Guadalupe for New York on
Nov. Is. The owners and agents have
given up these vessels as lost, and will in
all probe bility apply for their insurance in
short time.
The last ON the list of the missing is the
steamer SANTANA. She left New York on
Nov. % last for Hayti with a cargo Of pro
visions, and it was said at the time, arms
for Gen. HippolyJe. She was commanded
by Capt James and was manned by

Considerable interest is manifested in the
question of appeal from the Savannah
church. The judicial committee to whom
it was referred repor ed that it was not
properly an appeal and that they would not
so recognize it but suggested that the synod
consider the matter in an advisory way.
TECHNICALITIEs DISCUSSED.
Considerable discussion on technicalities
occurred, and it was finally decided to con
slider the matter as one of appeal and to open
the question for consideration, the point
being made that if not an appeal, it could
not properly come before the body. Upon
this hypothesis the synod discussed the mat
ter and Capt. Kingsbury made a strong
appeal for sustaining the appeal Mr.. Lind
