AN ANATOMICAL WONDER.

A Man Whose Heart Is ON the Right Side Of
His Body.
SALISBURY, Md, August H.-Mr. q. Pritch-
ett, of Lakes district, Dorchester county, Is q
rare specimen of humanity in his anatomical
construction. He is suffering with pulmonary
diseases. and on the recommendation Of DR..
Jones, his home physician, came to Salisbury
this week to be examined by DIR. John 8. Full
ton. During the physical examination DR..
Fulton accidently discovered that the mans
heart was located on the right side of his body.
This greatly interested the doctor, but as his
patient did not consult him on this point. he
did not feel at liberty to make minute inves.
tigation. 1t was not, therefore, ascertained
whether the other vital organs were transposed.
The case is one of peculiar interest to the pro-
fession since it is so rare that less than 200 such
cases are on record.

TRUSTED TO THEIR HONOR.
That Was the Trouble In the Case of the
Black Diamond.

WASHINGTON, August 17.-Although
the report upon the seizure and escape Of
the British sealer Black Diamond has not
been made public at the Treasury Depart
ment, it is learned from the officials that it
does not show that the officers and crew of
the seized vessel were under parole to pro-
ceed to Sitka. While it was within the au-
thority of the Captain of the revenue cutter
TO place in irons every man on the Black
Diamond, and send her to San Francisco
with a powerful prize crew, such q course
was not regarded as necessary.
In cases occurring in former years seized
vessels have gone safely to port, the officers
having sufficient respect for the law, as en-
bodied in the presence of one representative
of the revenue service, to refrain from any
attempt to escape. Meanwhile, it is said at
the Treasury, that the revenue marine
officers will continue to seize vessels engaged
in taking seal illegally, leaving to the State
Department the adjustment of any inter
national questions which may arise.

CIVIL SERVICE CHANGES.
Some Radical Amendments to be Made to
the Present Rules.

The Present huteBs
WAsHINGToN, August 17.-Civil Service
Commissioners Lyman and Thompson had
m interview with the President to-day in
regard to certain contemplated changes in
the civil service rules. Commissioner Lyman
presented to the President a rough draft OF
the contemplated amendments, and, together
with Mr.. Thompson, discussed with the
President the probable effect of the pro-
posed changes and the reasons that induced
the commission to recommend them.
The President is understood to favor the
changes, and as soon as they can be properly
him at Deer Park. 1t is believed that one
of the rules as amended will place all chiefs
of divisions within the classified service,
and thus provide that when changes occur
in these positions they shall be filled by GER
tifcation from the commission.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM To THE DIsPATcH.l
.WAsHINGToN, August 17.-The death Of
Representative Laird, OF Nebraska, an
nounced to-day, emphasizes the gravity of
the situation in the body of which Mr..
Laird was a member, and the slight ma
jority which the Republicans will have for
the purpose of organization is discussed
this evening more than ever before. While
the Second Nebraska district is considered
surely Republican, there is always q chance
for defeat, and the Democrats are already
canvassing the possibilities.
Republicans are little alarmed, however,
as they have great confidence that the man.
agemelt of Quay and Clarkson, of the
National Committee, will prevent any re-
duction of the majority inithe House by the
loss of district which naturally belongs to
the party. They will insist on the sinking
of personal ambitions and factional quar-
rels, and the nomination of the most popu-
lar candidate available. that there may be
no doubt of the result on the ground of
weak selection.
The death of Mr.. Lard was announced at
the White House shortly before the depart
ure of the President for Deer Park, and was
a subject of conversation. The President
intimated that, while the election of Re
publican to succeed the dead Congressman
would really strengthen the Republican
majority, as one would doubtless be elected
about whose ability to attend the sessions of
the House there would be no question, that
result would not do away with the argu-
ment advanced in favor of a called session,
and he said that he had almost fully de-
cided 10 call such a session in the interests
of an early organization, and added that tine
extra session would probably be called
about the middle of October.

Reported Combination.
NEW YORK, August 1.-THE rumor of
a corner in diamonds, reported from Lon
don, was generally diseredited among the
leading jewellers to-day. One of the most
prominent merchants said that it was i'm
possible to make corner, as the capitalists
owned only the big diamond mines. while

the big concerns on TO the market. The
slight increase in prices is attributed to the
fact that nearly all the fine gems have been
sent to the Paris Exposition.

been in the city, and were going home.
There was an uncertainty in the boys

The Great San Diego Flume.

1t is claimed that the recently COM
pleted San Diego numo is the most
stupendous ever constructed in the
world. being only little short OF
thirty-six miles long. An idea OF the
gigantic character Of the work may be
obtained from the fact that the amount
Of lumber consumed was more than
nine millions of feet, or, allowing the
very considerable yield OF 1000 feet to
each tree, not less than 5000 trees were
required. In the course OF the fume
there are some 3l5 trestles, the long est
Of these being LOO feet in length,
eighty-fve feet high; and containing
one quarter of a million feet of lum-
Der Another trestle is OF the same
height. and 1900 feet long, the main
timbers used in both of these being ten
by ten and eight by eight, being put on
the ground and raised to their position
by horse power The number OF tun-
nels in the course of the fume is eight,
the longest which is 2,100 feet, the
tunnels being in size six by six feet,
with convex-shaped roofing; each mile
OF the humc required an average Of
one-fourth OF million feet of lumber
for its construction, and the red wood
used entirely in the box is two inches
in thickness throughout. "

Marvellous Courage.

In handsome mansion situated in
q lonely part Of England there resided,
few years ago. maiden lady OF con.
siderable wealth. writes correspond.
emit of the Phiads lphia Press. One
morning she was discovered foully
murderd. Her man-servant, named
Lee. was suspected, arrested and con.
victed on circumstantial evidence,
and sentenced to be hanged. So con.
elusive seemed the evidence against
the prisoner that no attempt whatever
was made on the part of the public to
induce the Home Secretary to exer.
else executive clemency. The day of
the execution having arrived, the
prisoner was led forth to suffer the ex.
treme penalty. The rope to be used.
the texture of which was sill and
hemp, had been, as is customary in
such cases, tested with the aid OF
sand-bags, and was not found wanting.
The bolt was drawn and the prisoner
was given drop OF eight feet The
rope broke. The prisoner walked, I'M
aided, up the steps leading to the
scaffold, and after the rope had been
fixed again and the moose adjusted the
bolt was drawn for the second time. |
The rope broke again.
Lee was by this time considerably
stunned. However, after the lapse OF
q few moments he again assembled, I'M
aided, the steps, and after doing all in
his power to allay the nervousness of
the hangman, assisted the latter in
once more fixing the rope. The pris-
oner placed himself on the trap-door,
the bolt was pulled, and the condemn.
ed man dropped once more out OF view.
The rope parted for the third time.
After considerable delay Lee once
more placed himself into the execu-
toner's hands. but that parsonage and
he other officials, Mortified at what
seemed Divine interpositiou, refused
o proceed further with the business.
The facts were reported to the Home
Secretary, who at once respited the
prisoner, condemning him to imprison-
nent for life.
Three years later a woman who was
Iee's fellow-servant confessed on her
ying bed that it was she who killed
Ter mistress. She declared that Lee
lad no connection whatever with the
flair, and stated facts strongly con-
rmatory to her confession.
Instances may possibly have occur

ical courage has been displayed, but

bravery ever played more conspicu.
