cd for his capture. This amounts to
81, 100, of which the Wisconsin Central
contributes $1,000, the Milwaukee, Lake
Shore and Western 81, 900, and the town
of Belleville, H., where Fleischbein
lived, 500. Originally $1,000 more
was added to this, but the Mil
waukee and Northern, which offered $500,
and the Post-office Department, which
offered $1,000, withdrew their offers
shortly before Holzhay's capture. There
are now five claimants for the money,
viz: Deputy Sheriff Glode and Justice
Weiser, who arrested Holzhay; the
constable who thumped Holzhay into
inconsistencies when he was struggling
with the officers, and Landlord 0'Brien
and his son, who notified the authorities
of Holzhay's suspicious looks and ac-
tions. The two railroads interested
stand ready to pay over thu money just
as soon as the conflicting claimants set
tie division among themselves.

A RARE DISEASE.
Tape-Worm Ova Develops in The
Human Liver.
Tho Organ Drained by Modern Sur
gical Operation.

BALTIMORE, Nov. GA rare and
serious disease, which is known as
hydatid cyst of the liver, is being
watched with great interest by the pro-
fessors, doctors and medical students at
the city hospital. The patient is o
German, John +. Bersenbruch, and he
is forty-four years Of age. His disease
is due to tho ova Of peculiar kind Of
tape-worm which inhabits the dog and
other animals. The ova finds its way
into the stomach OF man in drinking
water, thence it is carried to tho
liver by the blood vessels. The
egg Is about one-hundredth of an inch
in diameter, and the parts which de-
velop it are found in the water on the
ground and stick to the surface of veg
etables, and thus it is possible in eating
vegetables uncooked TO take these ova
into the body. The animal from these
ova, however, is not developed in man.
The eggs once in the stomach of man
increase at an enormous rate. From the
stomach they are absorbed by the blood
vessels leading to the liver. Here the
ova form cysts, or little bags, around
themselves, like the caterpillar in its
cocoon. When this cyst is taken into
the stomach of dog it devel-
ops into the full-grown hydatid, which
is one-quarter of an inch in length,
with q head one-sixteenth of an inch,
furnished with numerous little hooks
and suckers. Bersenbruch was admitted
to the hospital in October 25, 1889. He
was laborer, and had complained of a
dull but severe pain in the right side
last spring. He had wasted away and
lost nearly forty pounds of flesh.
The doctors in the city hospital
diagnosed his case on Novem-
ber 1. Prof. Charles f..
Bevan, in the presence of Drs. j. w.
Chambers, Thomas S. Latimer, w. r.
Smith and John Branham, performed
what has up to the present time proved
very successful operation. Prof. Be-
van made an incision in the wall of the
right side of the abdomen just below the
pus was taken from the mans liver. The
method of removing the hydatid cysts is
by means of draining the liver, which
operation is of very modern surgical
art. The pain Of the patient before the
operation was intense, the tumor in his
right side having extended his liver
nearly fifteen inches. The great pain
seemed to leave him shortly after the
operation, and he now appears to be re-
covering from his terrible disease. 1t is
O curious disease, and should the man
recover the operation will be recorded
in the annals of surgery as one of tho
remarkable cases of this era

LONDON, Nov. 25.-A letter from Stan
ley, dated South End of the Victoria
Nyanza, September 3, has been received.
In it the explorer speaks of the treach-
cry on the part Of the rebels against
Emin's government. "Far away, our
own people, tempted by extreme wretch
edness, sold our rifles and ammunition
to our natural enemies, the slave
traders" Stanley graphically relates
the details of his trip from the wilds Of
the interior to the verge of civilization.
He tells of his own sickness and of the
enfeeblement and death of many of his
force. Several fights with the famous
dwarfs and other natives are recounted.
The dangers are many and varied.

A NEW CABLE.
Direct Communication Between the
United States and Central and South

Direct Communication Between the
United States and Central and South
America.
New YORK. Nov. 21.-The French
Cable Company has been granted
official authority by Secretary of State
Blaine to land cables at Charleston, S.
c., connecting this country directly by
wire with Hayti, San Domingo and
Cuba. At Hayti the new cable will con-
meet with the wires of the West India
French Cable Company, running to
Martinique in the French West India
colonies, and thence to Venezuela,
opening up direct telegraphic commune
cation between the United States and
the Republics of Central and South
America. The work of laying the cable
has been in progress some months, and
the company expect to be able to land
its cable at Charleston soon. The new
cable is part of a project long in con-
temptation to unite the various French
cable companies wires and establish
continuous telegraphic system by their
lines all over the American continent.

London Gossip.
LONDON, Nov. GA curious story
connected with the Brazilian revolu-
tion is obtaining currency in diplomatic
society. Dom Pedro was, it is said, him
self the prime mover in his own deposit
tion. He had endeavored to resist his
son-in-law's active hostility to the
anti-clerical party, and had other
reasons to be dissatisfied with him.
Furthermore His Majesty was by no
means ignorant of the popular move
ment He felt that if he should out
live the Republican advance his
daughter would be unable to cope with
it, moro particularly under the perni-
cious guidance of her husband. He,
therefore, like a wise and philosophio
monarch, anticipated the inevitable, and
thus at least saved the prospective
bloodshed which he felt would have
come with resistance, If not in his time
certainly in that of his successor. Hence
his easy and calm acceptance of the
situation.

MosHERvILLE, Mich, Nov. 21.-On
Monday Mrs. Nathaniel Strang, of Jack

and begged piteously of her friends and
the physician to save her life.
