ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.l
PHILADELPHIA, August 1.-Dr. Ernest
LaPlace, a celebrated French physician, ar
rived in this city to- night to take the chair
of Pathology in the -Chirurgical
College. Dr.LaPlace has been for several
years co-laborer with Pasteur in his lab
oratory, and is a personal friend Of DR..
Brown-Sequard. In an interview concern
ing the success of ex-Surgeon General w.
A. Hammond in experimenting on DR..
Brown-Sequard's so-called elixir of life. DR..
LaPlace said:
GAS yet 1 have no positive opinion with
regard TO DR.. Brown-Seluard's success, but
from an aprlori standpoint would give it a
fair trial. There is nothing improbable in
the theory, and an immense amount of posi-
bility. Looking at it from an analogous
standpoint, ] would be disposed to try it,
and try it with great deal of confidence of
success. There would be no danger attend
ing the experiments. The injection of such
a fluid as DIR. Hammond prepares, under
aseptic conditions, that is, conditions which
exclude the presence of micro-organisms,
would be attended with no danger to the
patient, and, possibly, the nature of said
injection would be such as to possess very
marked and heretofore unknown stimulative
and utilitive effect to the nervous system.
"Now, to prove eIperimentally that ami
NAL matter can be used with impunity
under the skin, Pasteur has for the last four
years treated several thousand patients
against hydrophobia, by the sub-cutaneous
injections of the specially prepared spinal
cord OF rabbits, without liberation or similar
results.
''This rejuvenation is not wild delusion.
Do not think for an instant of chasing it
with the absurd vagaries of the middle
ages. 1t has much in it to demand the at
tention of the scientist. DR.. Brown
Sequard is great friend of mine, and is
without doubt the greatest Psychologist in
the world. He is not in his dotage,
as many persons would have us believe, but
is intellectually in the prime of his life. and
his discovery of the magic life-giving elixir
is the product of such mind. 1t is no de-
lusion, no hallucination, but o well-bal-
anced, carefully y-thought-out problem. DR..
Hammond has established himself on no
far-fetched promise in assuming DIR. Brown
Sequard's theory, and an fairly confident
that the experiments, If carried out on care
fully calculated, scientific principles. will
be eminently satisfactory"

SOME CONFLICTING STORIES.
An Alleged Conspiracy to Boycott the G. A.
II. Encampmenr.


CHICAGO. August 1.-The Chicago Euen-
ing Journal this afternoon criticises Sc
verely the report furnished to papers by
the City Press Association of the recent
Grand Army of the Republic meeting in
this city 1t also denounces the G. A. R.
representatives themselves for alleged at
tempts to influence the pressi in the interest of
their boycott of offending railroads. Re-
garding the meeting of Department Com
manders Wednesday, which was held for
the purpose of considering the advisability
of adhering to their former recommenda-
tions of non-attendance, the journal says
editorially:
One of the most mlschievous parts of the
conspiracy to boycott, in which a few misguid-
ed Grand Army leaders have engaged, Is the
dissemination of false intelligence through the
press. They have apparently Obtained control
of some special reporters, and load the tele-
graph wires with fictions in regard to their
dOings. For instance, on Wednesday dispatches
were sent to the Milwaukee press II not else
where. absolutely stating that eight States
were represented in Chicago at a secret meet
ing of the kickers held that day, and a list of
the Department Commanders is given, as if
they were actually present The story is abso-
lutely false. But two Department Command
ers were in Chicago on that day-Martin, of
Illinois, and Brown, of Michigan. All the rest
is fustian.

Murderers Have One Piece of Luck.
rsPEc1AL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcHl
WAYNEsBURG, August 1.-The families
of Zsddock and Frank Clark, of Cumber-
land township, this county, whose names
have been brought into prominence on ac-
count of alleged implication in the murder
of William McCausland, of Allegheny City,
are reported to have become neirs to large
fortune. 1t is claimed that Paddock Clark's
wife is sister of a man named Shrader, who
died in Cincinnati recently, leaving an es-
tate OF Sl1, 900, 900. Shrader formerly re-
sided in Loudon county, Va, but went to
Cincinnati several years ago to assume pos
session of large fortune which fell to him
by entsilment.
A Cincinnati attorney visited the Clarks
a few days ago, and, notifying them of their
good fortune, offered to secure and turn
over to them the large amount on condition
that he be allowed 10 per cent of it. Be
lieving that his offer would result in his
receiving an undue share of the fortune,
they refused to accept it. 1t is understood
they have employed attorneys here to give
the matter attention.
