Rumored Outbreak.

New York, November 26.-The steamer
Prince Frederick from Port-au Prince, No
vember 20, arrived here today and brought
news of an uprising in Hayh against Hip
polyte. II is reported there are 5000 men
armed engaged in the movement.
At the Office of Rumhardt n Co., agents
of the Prince Frederick all knowledge Of
any instruction on the island OF Hayti was
denied. The captain Of the steamer had
reported at the office and said nothing
about it. There were ten passengers on the
steamer and It is thought some Of thenum-
Der started the rumor. None OF the pas
senQers could be found.

petween the proviso to Section 8
adopted by the senate and the pro-
viso certified to the house over your
official signature as the senate proviso
as it now appears attached toS. H. B.,
1877 in the secretary of states office.
1 had discovered the difference
several months ago but had never
had occasion to refer to them.
/ presumed the proviso, as attached
to the bill, was in your hand, but on
closer scrutiny l now see it was writ
ten by some one else, though / think
the signature is yours.
While you may be, in some sense,
regarded as officially responsible for
the variance between the proviso
adopted by the senate and that adopt
ed by the house, take pleasure in
saying that / have discovered nothing
that could justify any suspicion of any
graver fault than mere inadvertence
on the part of anyone in connection
with the certification OF the senate
amendment to the house.

OF the session would hold you cul-
pable for not having noticed an in
advertence of this kind IN the part Of

in justice to you, in case your official
action as to this proviso should be
brought in question to your prejudice

ness of breath, while the slightest ex-
ertion would start her heart to beat
ing with alarming rapidity. The
splendid physique she had when first
stricken down had been eaten and
sapped away until all that was left Of
il was a pale, emaciated, helpless, suf-
fering mass OF skin and bones, weigh
ing hardly seventy pounds.
Meanwhile the three physicians
who had vainly endeayored to stay
the progress Of the terrible disease
all of whom were leading physicians
in Mansfield, O.,-had been COM
PEELED to acknowledge that they were
absolutely impotent 70 cure her and
at last had given her up as an in
durable and hopeless case. There
upon she placed herself in the hands
of one of the most prominent and
successful physicians of Columbus.
He examined her carefully, particu-
larly her lungs, declared that she had
consumption and stated that he could
do nothing whatever for her as her
case was hopeless. Another promi-
nent and successful physician of the
same city was called in. He ex-
pressed the same discouraging opin-
ion and declared himself equally
unable to help her. That the suffer
ing woman and her relatives and
friends now we'll nigh despaired OF her
life is hardly to be wondered at.
At this critical juncture, when Miss
Jones had been confined to her bed
almost two entire years, being unable
most Of that time to raise her head
from the pillow, her brother, having
heard and read so much of the re-
markable cures DIR. Hartman had
effected and of the desperate cases he
had successfully treated, persuaded
his sister to place herself in the doc
tors hands and get the benefit of his
long and varied experience and ex-
ceptional skill. He was thereupon
called in and the wisdom OF the step
was made obvious in very short
time. He informed her that she had
scrofula and at once put her under
vigorous treatment. 1t was but a
very short time until she began to
noticeably improve. Within two
months the'awful sore that had af-
fiicted her for two years had COM
pletely healed up. But still her condi-
ton was a terrible one, showing plainly
to what low ebb she had been
reduced. Three months after DIR
Hartman had begun to treat her she
was still unable to speak distinctly
while her pulse was l40. Slowly, but
surely, she got stronger and better
until finally all her ulcers were healed
her lungs we'll, her cough stopped, hel
blood made pure, her pulse restored tC
its normal state, aud her weight re
stored to one hundred and thirt,
pounds. Nothing was now left to BE-
done except to straighten her crooked
leg. This the doctor now proceeded
to do with that orthopedic. skill tina
had made him famous the world over
Having had special appliance made

it there. 1t was an originally con

sNArcHED FROM THE GRAvEl
The Wonderful Cure of Matte Jones by DR..
Hartman, of Columbus, o.


From the Ohio State Journal.
1t does not often fall to the lot of a
newspaper reporter to hear so remark
able story as that which fell from
the lips of Miss Matte Jones, then of
Columbus, o., now Mrs. Wilcox, of
Coolville, O., in the presence of a
Journal reporter. 1t is hard to inn
agine a human being enduring long
such bodily tortures, and being brought
so near to the verge of the grave, and
yet not only living through it all, but
being finally restored to perfect health.
Certainly physician who can cure a
person so frightfully diseased and so
near deaths door as Matte Jones was
is man of rare powers as healer Of
human ills. And the physician who
accomplished this is none other than
DR.. Hartman, renowned throughout
the country, not only for his remark
able success as general physician,
but especially for his phenomenal
skill as an orthopedic surgeon. And
now as to the facts of this almost
miraculous cure.
1t was in the fall of 1884 that Miss
Jones was taken i'll. Previous to that
time she had enjoyed perfect health,
weighing l40 pounds and being in
every way well woman. One day a
little sore made its appearance on her
left leg. 1t had the pink color of a
bruise, and such she thought it to be,
therefore she paid no attention to it,
supposing it would soon pass away.
1t did not do so, however, but steadily
grew larger, assuming dark, purple
hue. Finally it turned into a most
painful running sore, which ate its
way through the flesh down to the
bone, leaving space aroundlt the
width OF mans hand, from which
the flesh was entirely eaten away.
She then suffered the intensest pain
but could get no relief. Three promi-
nent physicians and surgeons were
called in. They all united in calling
it an ill-conditioned ulcer, and pro-
ceeded to treat it as such. First they
poulticed it with slippery elm. In
stead of getting better it only got
worse and grew larger. Then they
put the suffering patient under the
influence of ether, and scraped the
bone. Neither did this do any good
On the contrary, the sore got steadily
worse, while the sufferings of the pa
tient can be better imagined than de.
scribed. After the doctors had scraped
the bone her leg began slowly to draw
up in the shape of square, and as nc
attention was paid to the crooked
limb it finally became so deformed as
to form right angle at the knee
Inasmuch as they could not heal the
sore 1.-The doctors decided that twas use
less to attempt to straighten the leg
Thesfollowing spring her throat alsC
became very much inflamed and sore
Ulcers appeared and did not stop un
til they had eaten their way through
to the outside of her cheeks, Inside
her throat become so swollen and I'll
cerated that she was : unable to swal
low food of any kind. Her nose als'
became liberated. By the time sum
mer had arrived she was suffering
with bad cough, had hIlsand nigh
sweats, and was afflicted with short

OIL INsPECTORs's OFFICE.

Some days ago the THE STATESMAN
published a letter from Inspector
Brown in which he called attention to
an error in the law as follows:
/ may further add that the proviso,
as it stands before the law, went to
the house of representatives purport-
ing to be an amendment by the SEN
ate to the bill which had previously
PASSED the house. But it is not the
amendment the senate passed. The
senate amendment contained the
word "oil." Not only was this word
left out by the secretary OF the senate
in transcribing the AMENDMENT and the
word zone" written in place of it, but
the senate amendment also contained,
as part and parcel of it, clause which
was wholly omitted by the secre-
tary of that body in certifying
the amendment to the house. This
clause omitted was the concluding part
of the amendment, and the omitted
words constituted fully hall the amend
ment adopted by the senate and the
material part thereof. The house,
therefore, never acted on the senate
amendment; even the mutilated frag-
ment of it that reached the house was
essentially changed in the process OF
transmission. The two houses not
having acted on precisely the same
matter as an amendment, the proyiso
incorporated in the printed law is no
mart of what was actually enacted,
and can be of no legal force or valid
ity."
This. of course, was a reflection on
the secretary of the senate; but sub
seouent investigation by Mr.. Brown
discloses the fact that the secretary OF
the senate is not responsible for the
error, and yesterday he wrote the Sec
retary the following letter:
Cant C. NJ. Boynton, Hamilton, Tex.
