IT'S IN THE AIR.

The Atmosphere Filled with the Germs
of Influenza - Its Spread In America
Predicted-A rescription for the Cure
of the Disease.
New YORK, Dec 19.-Dr. Edison pre-
diets that influenza, the disease which
has caused so much annoyance in Rus
STA, France, Austria, and even in little
Greece and Turkey, will make itself
equally obnoxious in America. The
doctor says that the disease, which most
people are inclined to attribute to the
atmosphere, is really caused by bacteria.
These germs of influenza were diffused
through the atmosphere and were not
brought over by the steamship.
This is Dr. Edson's remedy for the in
fuenza: Take a 10 per cent. solution of
quinine and spray the afflicted mem
brane freely and frequently. At inter-
walls during the day pill composed OF
three grains of quinine, one-eighth Of a
grain of camphor, and one-quarter of a
grain of the extract of belladonna. This
will have the effect of destroying the
bacteria and also aiding in building up
the debilitated system so that when the
disease has left other diseases may not
follow

A st. Louis Lad, Tortured Beyond En-
durance BY His Barbarous Father, Takes
the Latter's Life.
ST. Louis, Dec. 19.-.-George A. Glen-
ther, an aged man, was killed Tuesday
by his 16-year-old son Emile, who after
ward surrendered himself to the
police. Wednesday Charles Guenther,
an older brother Of the murderer, called
ct the office OF the chief of police to Sc
cure permission to interview Emile, and
told horrible tale Of brutality on the
part Of the murdered man. The sons
story brands the dead man as a fend in
carnate, who delighted in acts of inhu-
mainly toward his children, TAX
ing pleasure in torturing them by
methods practiced only by the
most barbarous. Among other cru
elites alleged was the claiming up
of the children in dismal apartments,
nude, and while in that condition
torturing them with all the savagery
practiced in the inquisition. Charles
Guenther's story in brief is as follows:
He says that in 1854, when he was Is
years of age, his father aad torture
chamber in the house in which
chains, whipping post, clubs, etc.,
made up the furniture. For
trivial otfense he was taken into the
chamber, and, if he resisted, was over
powered, stripped naked and chained to
post. One chain about the neck almost
strangled him. His father then took
needle and punctured him from head to
foot until the blood flowed freely. Then
the inhuman parent took bottle of
whisky and rubbed the liquor into
the wounds. The boy tainted at
he regained consciousness he
was still chained up and still
naked. He was released by his sister,
who was subsequently chained up for
the otfense> The boy complained to the
police, and the old man was ARE sted
and the story proved to be true. The
lad never afterward returned home.
Emile Guenther, the boy of 16 who
killed the old man, called on his sister
to tell the authorities what he had suf-
fered before he left home. It was shown
that he had been chained up for days at
time and had been beaten and tortured
in the most horrible manner He left
home when he was Is. Tuesday he re-
turned to see his married sister, and his
father, hearing that he was in the house,
came in rage and ordered him out. He
started to 60 and was followed through
the chamber by the old man. In fury
he picked up Ratchet and killed his
father. The stories of torture are cor
federated by the neighbors.
The boy Emile acts like an imbecile,
and it is believed that he has been
driven insane by the cruelty of his ia
ther and the tragedy of Tuesday.
Wednesday he failed to recognize his
own brother, and when he was appealed
to almost supplicatingly for recognition
there was a silly smile about the MUIR
derers mouth.

The Master workman Denies tho Con-4
spiracy Charges Made by Callaghan.
@ SCRANTON, Pa, Dec. 2O.-Hon. T.. Y.
Powderly furnished the local papers
with a lengthy statement Of his difficult
ty. with Hon. Edward Callaghan, Of
Scottdale, which led to the present pros
ecution for conspiracy. Mr.. Powderly's
version in brief is as follows:
The trouble dates back to the appointment Of
q committee OF knights OF Labor in the spring
Working,men as 1t came before the General
Assembly OF Pennsylvania. This com.
mittee was appointed by conven.
ton called by Mr.. Powderly. He heard
no more Of the matter until March g. 1885, when
he received letter from Edward Callaghan
saying that the committee neglected its
duty, and that the writer was reliably in
formed that members who stood high In TIE
order did not want the committees reports
published. In reply to this Mr. Powderly
wrote that he had not been before appraised
that the committee had neglected it's duty, ard
at any rate the matter was not in his hands.
In conclusion, Mr.. Powderly requested Mr..
Callaghan to give his authority for saying
that "members who stand high in the order do
not want the reports published asking
this under the seal Of the General Master
Workman. Callaghan refused to make known
his authority, but wrote Powderly scorching
letter, charging him with treachery and lying
and with conspiring to cause his (Callaghan's)
political downfall.
y Mr.. Powderly says that he knows
nothing of the present case except what
he has seen in the newspapers, but sup
poses that it is a renewal of the charge
of conspiracy. He does not know CAL
laghan, though that gentleman claims
to have met him in the Bingham
House, Philadelphia, April z, 1887. He
thinks that there is no doubt that his
name has been used by Callaghan's OPP
ponents, but he says he is not re-
sponsible for that. The libel is
not against Callaghan, but against him.
self, for, although he is thoroughly inno-
cent in the matter, he has been SUBJ
jected to persecution and damaging al
legations. Callaghan has even gone so
far as to write Mr.. Powderly that he
had made fool of Cardinal Gibbons by
lying to him and every one else. Mr..
Powderly has not yet been arrested.

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.

One Girl Burned to Death and Eight 9th
Detroit.
DETROIT, Mich, Dec. sO.-A shocking
accident occurred at the Tilden public
school Thursday evening while some
sixteen girls were rehearsing Christ
mas cantata. The costumes of the girls
were made of light gauze and trimmed
with cotton batting. One of the
performers had a wand with which she
accidentally struck candle, igniting
the wand. The flames were then COM
municated to the children's clothing and
all were burned more or less Bessie
Zeley was the girl whose costume was
first ignited by the wand. Immediately
the other girls gathered around her and
endeavored to extinguish the flames.
The result was that in moment
dozen terrified children were running
wildly around the room with
their clothes ablaze. A terri
BILE scene ensued; the panic
stricken children ran from the room
and rushed wildly through the building
calling for help, but none was at hand.
Finally, however, the janitor appeared
and dashed pals of water over some of
them. The janitor's timely appear
ance undoubtedly prevented the
disaster from being much more ter
rible in it's results. Jennie Lancashire
was carried to house near by, where it
was found every article Of: clothing,
with the exception of her shoes,
were burned from her body.
She fingered in the greatest agony
till death relieved her sufferings.
The number of seriously burned is now
put at eight, but it is not thought that
their injuries are necessarily fatal.

The Influenza Epidemic Makes It's APP
pearance In Several More American
Cities Ierchants Short OF Help Through
the sickness Of Their Employees.
BOSTON, Dec. 2O.-The European in
fluenza is q sad reality, and Bostonians
are beginning to realize that fact.
Ihe first case was reported about
9 week ago. Now they are num-
bered by the score in all parts
OF the city. The symptoms are similar
to those reported from the continent.
The victims complain of pains in the
head, in the back and in the legs, their
eyes and nose discharge profusely, they
experience considerable nausea, and
there is more or less rise in their
temperature. The havoc it makes in
certain quarters is almost amusing. R.
II. White & Co., a big dry-goods firm
had to allow forty of it's clerks to go
home Thursday on account of this sick
ness. Jordan, Marsh & Co., Shepard s.
Norwell and the other city traders are
undergoing similar experience.
NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-Physicians say
that the number of cases of influenza in
the city is steadily increasing. No sta
tistics are available as the Board of
Health pays no official attention to the
matter, the ailment not being of dan
gerous character.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 20.-There has
been a widespread epidemic of in
duenza in mild form in this city
for some time, and it is gradual
ly assuming the severity of the type
now prevailing so extensively through
out Europe. During the last three
days nearly 400 of the employees in John
Wanamaker's store have been excused
from work on account of illness, and DR..
William F. Morris, who has examined
several of them, says that their ailment
is milder form of the European NAL
ady.
DETROIT, Mich, Dec. 2O-The Rus
sian influenza has reached Detroit, and,
curiously enough. so far only bank en-
ployes are afflicted. This is attributed,
however, to the report that the
microbes travel in paper money,
and when the contagious paper has
been freely circulated in the city it is
expected the disease will become cpl
demic. The symptoms are different in
nearly every case. In some it produces
IAN all gone, tired feeling" as one ex-
pressed it, while in others the lining to
the nose, mouth and throat is affected;
still others have a cough. Lameness is
one of the general points in which it
shows up strong.

cases of influenza are reported in this
city. There is no doubt that the cpl
demic has reached here
