Samoan advices by the steamship Mar
lpOsa state that affairs on those islands
remain quiet. On June 25th the German
gun-boat Wolf left Apia sarbor for
JOliuet, on Marshal's islands for the
purpose Of bringing back King
Malietoa and tine three chiefs
placed there by the Germans two
years ago. The Germans declare
that their action IN bringing Malietoa
to Samoa is voluntary on their part and
not the result of the Berlin conference.
They declare they will do all in their
power to restore the same condition OF
affairs as existed previous TO the banish-
mento of Maletoa. The Germans declare
they will favor Malietoa ior king and
Tamasese for vice-king.

Dr. Mueller an Australian physi-
clan, has successfully treated mum
bcr OF cases OF snake bito with strych-
MIA. This he has done on the hyp0the-
sis that the poison affects the nerves,
weakening and paralyizing them
i'm fact, that the venom is moi, after
all. a poison i'm the common sense,
and does not directly cause any
change Of tissue. Its effect is simply
produced by the operation Of dynamic
force-that is, it suspcnds the action
of tho nerve cells for a longer or
shorter period. Hitherto all antidotes
have been administered on the theory
that the virus affected the blood, and
the most successful results have come
from the administration Of alcohol,
which seemed TO maintain the strength
Of the sufferer until the poison was
eliminated by natural means.
DR. Mueller's theory at first sight Is
at variance with the fact that the
blood in case Of snake bite does actu.
ally change. but his explanation Of
this change IS that the pulmonary
capiilaries, through which the blood
cofpuscles pass when going to the
lungs to exchange the carbonic acid
OF eifeie blood for fresh and life Civ
ing oxygen, have lost their power
They owe the tensIon-the healthy
cO.tlacting power-to the influence
Of the vaso-mOtor nerves, and when
the latter are paralyzed the corpuscles
lose their power, 80 TO speak. squeezing
out by the superiluous carbonic acid,
and leaving the corpuSc.es free TO take
up oxygen. Thus the corpuscles pass
through the lungs unchanged, carry
ing back TO the heart blood as full Of
carbonic acid as they brought from il,
and they themselves absolutely die,
bursting in consequence Of this load OF
carbonic acid. Dr. Mueller's remedy
is the injection OF strychnia by means
Of the hypodermic syringe, the appli-
cation Of artificial heat, and the in
reference with the tendency of the
patient TO sleep. He thus sets up
rival dynamic force which fights il
out with the original poison. and il
the antidote is applied IN time gener
ally with success. s.-London Hospital.

Points.
Especial TO the Times.
FREDERICKSBURG, VA, August a.
The Democrats OF this city met last
night and elected delegates to the STATE
Convention. The delegates were elected
by ballot, and although no special effort
was made in the interest of Colonel
Beirne. it was evident he was the
first choice Of the party of this place for
the Governorship. fredericksburg. un-
der the call Is entitled TO six delegates.
Inc following gentlemen were elected
last night: Nessrs. X. b. Merchant.
Charles w. Edrington, II. F.. Crismond.
+. ID. Cole, Terrence McCracken and
William A. Little. Jr.
Before the meeting il was generally
understood that the radical temperance
advocates. aided by the Biptist ele-
ment. would secretly oppose the cleo
ton of Belrne delegates. because of
Colonel Beirne's manly fight against
Dr. Hawthorne. who took an active
part IN the prohibition fight here sew
eral years ago, and the sequel proves
the correctness OF the assertion. To-
day representative OF the Lance inter
viewed the delegates elect wi tn the fol-
lowing result: McCracken and Little
are pronounced friends of Colonel
Beirne. Edrington prefers Beirre as
his first choice. while Merchant of the
Star, Prohibitionist, rather coDceals
his preference. Crismond and Cole.
two prominent Baptists. are undecided.
Mckinney is Coles first choice. while
CresmOnd is for the most available man.
The fact is that n quiet effort has been
at work TO down" Beirne on account
of his relations to Hawthorne. and be-
cause il is thought he is partial to the
Catholic religion.
BRADY MAKES AN ANTI nAHONITR AP-
POIHTMEST.
The fisrce fight which has been going
on recently between Col. Woltz. OF the
Free Lance, and the white MahOneite
Republicans over the division collector
ship under Collector Brady was deter
mined to day by Collector Brady noti-
flying Mr.. Colbert. VOLTS candidate,

time they will see it in the TINES. This
Is a splendid victory for Volt, and is a
fiat contradiction of the report that
Brady was appointed by President Har-
rison with the understanding lhat, be-
sides his chief deputy and deputy for
Petersburg, Malone was to control the
rest of his appointments. The Lance
folks are very happy TO- night. and when
this announcement is read by the Re-
publicans for revenue only they Will

Crops Destroyed In Nelson.

LEXINGTON, August 2.-On last Tues
day evening the most destructive RAIN
for many years fell in this county.
The creeks were from hill to hill. and
large quantities OF wheat. oats. ana
hay were swept of. Much of the cror
of tobacco and corn was entirely d.
stroyed. The roads in many places
impassabie-bridges. culverts, &C.
washed away. Tue prospect for farm
ers another year is sad and gloomy, in
deed.
Owing to so much rain the corn and
tobacco has been badly worked. and
what was left by the flood cannot make
over half crop.
Political matters are quiet, though
the Democrats are determined, aud
mean to WIN il possible. They are satIs-
fled that the floods. poor crops. @c.' are
evils enough for o,e year, without De-
