tons Regarding the Patients Diet-Craving
Food, then in Commissions
? Cincinnati Enquirer.
VINCENNES, md, Ang. 10.-One of
the most remarkable cases with which
the medical men of Southern Illinois have
had to contend is that of Everett Terry
fourteen-year- son of Farmer Terry
of Grove township, Sullivan county. Re-
Gently the youth, with q number Of COM
panIOns, went bathing in the EmDarrass
river. Terry prided himself on his div
ing abilities. After making q long dive
he told his companions that while under
water he had swallowed something He
soon became deathly sick, went home
and took TO his bed Several days later
he was seized with commissions of the
most violent nature, and his sickness
! took the most peculiar phase. DR.. Max
well was summoned and was puzzled with
stliss condition of the patient. Between
stne
HOURS OF FIVE AND SEVEN
in the morning Everett is able to take
medicine After that time his stomach
ewill retain neither liquids or solids until
y clock in the evening, when he seems
to crave for food, and partakes of milk,
.meat and soup with apparent relish.
Thirty minutes after eating the patient is
attacked with smothering spells. He
smacks his jaws, winks his eyes with
lightning rapidity, and then becomes
unconscious. Commissions become more
intense, and finally he grows so violent
that it requires the combined strength OF
three men TO hold him on pallet. These
fits continue until about clock, when
he gradually grows calmer, eventually
dozes off to sleep, and slumbers until
daylight. His spasms are of several
varieties, namely:
CATALEPTIC, EPILEPTIC AND TETANIC.
In his commissions he initiates the voices
of animals and birds, the whistle of a
locomotive and many other sounds.
s,.aFor four days he was denied food of
safly kind. On the third day of his star
YaTion the head of a reptile of some kind
was seen in his throat, but all efforts to
secure it were fruitless. The doctors
disagree as to the nature of the case and
cause of disease. Some aver it is dis
organization of the nervous system,
while others claim that the boy swallowed
a serpent, lizard or frog. Despite all
theories advanced, the mystery is as far
from solution as it was a month ago.

1t IS said that a large number of fine
cattle have died of splenetic fever near
Clarendon in Donley county. The dis
ease was introduced there by her1 of
southern yeariings, which were turned
loose on the range. So far the loss has
been heaviest to farmers or small stock
men. The large ranch owners do not
suffer SO badly, as they have their best
stock in separate pastures.

THEIR AWFUL RITES.
Human Lives offered ns a Sacrifice After
the Death of an Aged African King.

LONDON, July by late advices
from the west cost of Africa tits learned
that most revolving sacrifice has just
taken place in the interior.
A few months ago the old king of
Eboe died, and, as is customary traders
from New Calabar went up to pay their
respects TO the new monarch. On their
arrival the traders found the
"Ju Ju" rites performed ON the death
of the native king, still in progress,
and about forty victims have been
sacrificed. The old king was still
lying in an open grave large enough TO
accomOdate nine of the departed
rulers youngest wives, who had been
murdered in the most cruel
manner. Each OF them had
her ankles and wrists broken,
so that she could neither walk nor
crawl. In tins manned condition, and
suffering most cXcruciating pain, the
poor creatures were placed mt the bot
tom OF the grave, seven of them living
side by side. The Kings body was then
placed on them IN a transverse direc-
uon. Then the two remaining women
were LAID 10y his side.
They were left without food or water
to wait for death, which. however, it is
sad, did not come until after four or
five days of intense suffering. In the
meantime four or five men were sta
toned around the grave, armed with
clubs. ready TO knock backward any of
the women who, despite their tOrturcs
and their pam, might manage TO crawl
to the side of the pit.
la other parts of the town other hu-
man sacrifices were taking place. Sus-
pended from vaUOus trees We're the
bodies OF several mon. They. too. were
undergoing agouzng deaths, holes
having In most eases been lTred
through their feet near the ankles.
Through these holcs ropes were drawn
sud the men tied 10 a hgh tree, bead
jOwnwnward, and lcit 30 die.

CROWD AT THE LAKE.


The weather yesterday was just the
kind TO send out to the lake after a
breath of fresh air the hundreds who
during the week are penned up in the
dusty shops and scarcely less caplei.s-
ant offices. The sun was hot and
blistering, but there was brisk and
pleasant breeze across the fields where
there were no rows OF buildings to i'm
pede Its course. The crowd began to
pour in that direction early in the day
and the stream continued to increase
in volume up to clock of the after
noon. Many stayed until late in the
evening and enjoyed moonlight ride
on the lake. The various refreshmcnt
booths and means of amusement were
quite generously patrOnized. Most of
the crowd, however, were evidently
out for fresh air and rest. BY far the
larger number sat around upon the
benches, rolled upon the grass, or took
their ease upon the decks OF the steam
ers, drinking in the enjoyments afforded
by air, water and the splendid music of
the band. The Casino Opera Contrary
gave Plnaiore at the new Ramona The
alter, but though they gave anexcellent
entertainment 1t was slimly patrOnzed.
The entire rolling stock OF the Street
Railway Company was pressed into SER
wee, and every car was crowded nearly

ca Churches. lis text w4s.
Il prsise you, brethren, that ye keep
the ordinances a. delivered them. -
l Cor. Il, 4
Every intelligent candid student OF
the Rlble," sad the speaker, "w5ll
admlt that these were tao, and oniy
ts0 ordinances originally Instituted ln
the Christian church" These tao
were baptism and the Lords supper
ordinances equally important and
equally binding Neither Is imtrinsi-
eally eihcaelous. each s supply symboii-
cal kegtrdlug them three facts are
clear from Cod word, namely. that
these ordinances are not temporary bat
permanent IL be perpetuated IA the
church until the second coming OF
Chnst, that they are NOT u be-
altered or mo- lied in any way as 10
form, order oy s.guhcance, that they
vino preserve the original ordinances,
keep them as they were delivered and
observe them IN tae form order and
sp.rlt which characterized their pfimi-
tive celebration, receive apostolic
praise and what IS far better divine Ia
Nor and bcnediction.
lhe speaker divided his sermon un-
der two heads. first, the distinction
~ tween Chr stian communion aud
chufoh c0innlstuipn; sccoud, the rcla-
uoh OF church communion tO baptism.
The word communion originally meant
intercourse between two OF more per
sons. Thus love 20 Christians. broth
erly communion l. one thing, and par
taking OF the Lord supper ls altogether
a different thing. 1t IS not "close COM
muniOn," but conditional communion
10" winch BaptIsts contend, and there
ls no element IN their view of narrow
ne,s, bisotry, seltishness or restriction
OF religious liberty. They take the
word ot God as sole authority. They
turn TO the Bible for authority for IN
FAINT baptism. They find none. They
discard the authority of priests, bishops
and synods. The attitude of Bapt,sts
has been misconstrued by confoundlng
Christian communion with church
communion. Keep this distinction
IN mind and we shall hear
less of bigotry and llberalty.
The Bible teaches that the or
der OF the ordinances of bap-
tlsm and communion were invar-
lably preserved. The early believers
were first baptized and then permitted
to partakc of the Lords supper. and
We have no more right to change the
order of positive law than we have to
abrogate the law itself. There is no
more authority for change in this
particular than there was for the
change OF immersion into sprinkling by
the Roman Catholics and the substitu-
ton OF unconscious children in the
place of processing believers rs subjects
OF Christian baptism. The law of bap-
iisn requires the act of immersion on
the part OF a believing subject. The
same law requires faith first. baptism
next and then the breaking of bread at
the table of the Lord. The speaker
cited many authorities, scriptural and |
others, IN support of this position, and |
that 1t would be uniustiii- |
able to swerve from II 30 much as a |
hairs breadth.

coaches, VAS made up 81 the Queen
and Crescent depot and left iAe depot
al o clock, one caI being occupied by
Sullivan and seven Of his friends and
the other by Kilraln and some Of his
friends. Al 6.50 the arrival of both
principals and their friends at the battle
ground WAS wired to this city.
kilrain rose about 9 a. IA. and ap-
peared bright and fresh. he Was ia
excellent humor and conyersed freely
With those whO came T. see him. He
remained in his room until about IL
O'Clock, when he went 10 the gymnas-
ium. where hc spent an hour. Al noon.
IN company with Mitchell, Murphy
and Pony" Moore, he breakfasted at
Moreau's restaurant ON Canal-st. The
party returned 10 thegymnaslunl about
= O'Clock. kllraiu's condition seemed
greatly improved and his eyes were
brighter and hls movements much
more active than yesterday. Mitchell
said: ''if sullivan don't lick him ia
twenty minutes he won't do Il IN
month";" Members of the Athletic
Club, some of whom were disappointed
1T kilra.n's appearance yesterday,
changed their minds and expressed as
tonishment at his physical develop
ment RS well rs the Improvement IN hIs
deneanor.
Last night Capt. Beanham, of the
field artillery, received orders from the
governor To have his command IN
readiness to move at Il moments notice.
At 3 O'Clock this afternoon the artillery
company, which numbers about
fifty men, assembled at the ar
mory dressed in fatigue uniforms
and armed with Springfield rifles. The
appearance of the troops at the aTmory
caused some excitement but no thing
is yet known of their intended arrange
ments.
Sullivan is the favorite so far as
heavy money backing indicates. The
non-betting element OF the community
seem to hope Kilrain Will win. Kill
rains friends demand ? TO / III betting,
but only 100 to 80 is conceded by the
Sullivan men, and this Is not readily |
taken. Kilrain's condition seems enig- |
matical.
The general idea among sporting |
men is that he is to lean and light, but |
Tom Allen declares he is too fat; |
though Allen is inclined To think the |
Baltimore man will win. Bets are be- |
ing made that Sullivan will win in less |
than six rounds.
