Professor Vaughan, of Michigan University, thinks he bas discover ed the origin of cholera infantum. It is, according to his theory, the result of poison generated by germs in the alimentary canal. He has extracted and tested in the lab- oratory the specific poison in ques- tion, and hopes to be able to pro- dace an antidOte with which the patient may be inoculated. He calls the poison tyrotoxicon, and finds it in cheese and all products of milk. Brooklyn Eagle.

Hardie'S Murderer.

Saves, the Indian captured last week near San Carlos, has confess ed to the killing of Hardie, in Fucker canon. He described the circumstances connected with the killing so closely that there is no doubt of the truth of his being the murderer. He had three bullet holes through his body when cap tured and was fearing death when making this confession. He also asserted that he had killed four other men while with Kids band. He will, as soon as he recovers, be turned over to the civil authorities at Florence, where he will be tried for the killing of Reynolds in that county. The official announcement has been made from headquarters in San Francisco that Saves killed Hardie and that 1t was the Kid who fired on Dr. Haynes. This comes from the lips of General Miles and should set at rest the question of who killed the unfortunate lawyer. .-Prospector.

Destruction and Peace.

There is hardly a military man in
 the world who will not sympathize
 with Prince Bismarck's declaration to the Kissingen veterans, that ''no indemnity can compensate for the misery and expense caused by the new methods of warfare" Since the last great war ragged in Europe the art of destruction has advanced with giant strides. The magazine gun and smokeless powder, the
 pneumatic gun with it's projectile charged with the deadliest of ex- plosives, the modern field piece sending it's projectile with such an initial velocity and muzzle energy that it's shell goes straight and cer- tain to it's mark, instead of travel ing uncertianly over the arc of a
 circle-all these invention will so increase the death-rate in battle be- tween armies that, as Bismark says, "every one thinks we'll before be- ginning a war" As for sea-fghts, it is impossibly to understand,
 granting any degree of equal eff ciency between contending crews, how either of two vessels shot into by the heavy naval guns of the present could survive. Both would probably go to the bottom. The inventors of ordnance, explosives, and projectiles have been the most efficient allies that the Peace Soci- ety has ever had.--New York World.

Granada is Terrified.

Granada Nicaragua, Sept. 25.- Twelve thousand people, terror stricken by earthquake shocks and continued rumblings of the ancient volcano Momfacho, have fled from the city since Sunday.
 Internal sounds resembling dis tant thunder were heard on Sunday morning. Almost immediately the earth heaved violently and has con- tinued to vibrate at brief intervals ever since, shattering nearly every house in the city of 15,000 souls.
 Granada was built at the base of Monfacho, which has been consid- cred extinct for centuries, no erup- tion having taken place since the discovery of the country.
 There is now daily dread lest the long-closed crater should open and bury the town Tn lava aud ashes.
 A heavy shock came on Monday morning that caused immese dam- age, cracking walls in all parts of the city.
 It was felt at Managua, River, Masays and other towns, sixty to seventy miles distant.
 Other shocks, equally heavy. fol- lowed, though no damage has been done outside of this city, where there is hardly a house that does not threaten to fall.
 A wild panic seized the residents. Every one made desperate efforts to leave the city. Those who had been unable to get away by railroad, car riage or cart, or on foot to neigh boring towns or haciendas, are liv- ing in.abject terror.
 The vibrations have been from northeast to southwest, and those of the heaviest kind numbered half dozen, though minor tremblings have been innumerable.
 One-story adobes cracked from ceiling to floor. The firmest struct- ures of masonery have also been injured. Ten thousand people have left the city by railroad trains alone. The Government is running trains out of town as rapidly as the facilities will permit. There have been no cases yet of falling walls or any deaths consequent upon shocks.

The trade of the great interior keeps its magnificent headway, but trade on the three coasts, Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific, is visible slack ening. Gross railroad earnings for June show the smallest advance for they year, rates are being cut east and west of Chicago; shipments are falling off, and splendid net earnings in May do not prevent a general and widespread conviction that economics are needed in the administration of the roads and widespread differences impending in the management of rival lines Philadelphia Press.

Reed and his late Rivals.

Some time ago we warned the
 President, the Secretary of State
 the chairman of the National Re
 publican Committee, and all other Republican Presidential aspirants that if Mir. Reed got what could be called a vindication in the late cleo, ton, he would have a first mortgage | on the Presidential nomination ot 1892, and they had better deal with the giant while he was still in their power. To do their political saga city justice they recognized the em- ergency and made some offort to meet 1t, but their measures were half hearted and proved futile. Thel administration denied MT. Reed the use of the navy yards at Kittery, the chairman ofthe Nation al Republican Committee knocked MT. Reeds pet force billin the head and as MT. Reed was going in strong for more protection, the Secretary of State went into an adjoining dis trict and preached the new gospel of less protection.
 MT. Reed won a handsome vic tory over all his enemies. The Maine election was not really a contest between the Republicans and the Democrats, for the Demo- cratic party in that State is in a hopeless minority it was contest between the fayorite Republican candidate for the Presidential nom- ination and the field, and the fla vorite beat the field and won in a canter, The only significance of the Maine election is thati abolishes the President and all the lesser as- pirants. and it strikes out Blaine and inserts Reed as the other name of the Nam from Maine.
 This result is becoming apparent in may ways. Republican papers all over the country are accepting Reed as the great man of the party, and as the strongest Presidential candidate, Reeds grip on Congress has been strengthened a Reed lit erary bureau has been put in opera ton. and Harrisom, Blaine, Quay and Alger, not to speak of Sherman Allison and Cullom are already dis tanced Tn the race for the cup of 1892, which will be dashed from the winners lips, whoever he be. in November.-National Democrat.

At very recent date corn in Chicago was 364 cents, per bushet, and on the same day buyers at Hut crimson, Kansas, were paying 264 cents, leaving a margin of 10 cents per bushel for hauling and other expenses. The published tariff rate from Hutchinson to Chicago is 134 cents per bushel, which on the face of it leaves 3 cents per bushel against the buyer, to say nothing of handling charges, commission, and shrinkage.-Railway Review.

The clove tree was introduced in- to Zanzibar about the year 1880, and it's cultivation now forms the chief industry of the islands ot Zanzibar and Pemba. The chief supply of cloves is obtained from these islands. Consul Pratt, who has lately written a report on the c,ove-culture of Zanzibar, says that ten-year-old plantation should produce an average of 20 pounds of cloves to a tree. Trees of twen- ty years frequently produce upward of one hundred pounds each.

Thought She'd Drop In.

A busy Chicago housewife hat just dusted the furniture and was about to wash the windows, Wher there came a violent ring at the door bell. A faded-looking woman carrying a green parasol and a bag that puckered like tobacco sack, walked in when the door was open ed, and, refusing to give her name, entered the parlor.
 "Would you object giving me your name?" said the housewife, when the strange woman had seat ed herself.
 "Never mind my name"
 "Will you please state your busi- ness?"
 "Never mind my business"
 "Well, but why am 1 honored with this visit?"
 "You'll find out soon enough"
 "I should like to find out now, if it will not be putting you to any unnecessary inconvenience"
 "All right. My business is not very important to be sure, but per
  haps you might take some little in- terest in it. Your name is Mrs. Natterson, I believe"
 "Yes."
 "Ah, hah. How long have you known your alleged husband?"
 "My alleged husband?"
 "Yes."
 "Ihave been married three years" "That is, you think you have been married that long,"
 "Isurely do not understand you" "Oh, it's matter of no conse quence, but as I happened to be in this town and more especially as l chanced to be passing, l thought that I would drop in and tell you that this man Natterson married me in Massachusetts some five or six years ago. I forget which. But it amounts to nothing, you know" "Merciful heavens, madam, you horrify me !"
 "Oh not necessarily, I assure you"
 "Is it possible that I have been deceived?"
 "Well, it looks rather that way" "And have youcome here to claim my husband?"
 ooh, not at all. I just happened to be passing and thought I'd tell you. Please don't think for a mo- ment that I want him. It is true that men are rather scarce in the East, but even if they were ten times scarcer than they are, I shouldn't want that fellow. l have had quite enongh of him, I assure you. Just happened to be passing and thought I'd drop in and tell you. Hope I haven't put you to any inconvenience. Good day,"- Arknansas Traveller.

Texas Republican on Negro Rule


 Texas Republican on Negro Rule.
 We hope Senator Ingalls, anc other persons of his kidney have read, marked and inwardly dsgest ed tbe circular issued from the head quarters of the central Republican executive committee. Houston, Tex It is interesting reading as coming from Southern Republicans at 8 time when Northern Republicans are trying to revolutionize our cleo tion system in order to give the ne- gro greater political power. This circular begins with red hot pro- test against the 'audacity, arrog- ance corruption and treachery of the negro leaders and their follow CTS as a result of which It declares that Republication in Texas has be- come a stigma upon American citi- zcnship, reproach to our civiliza- ton and a course to our country" Appealing to the white Republi- cans of Texas, it asks: "Can you and will you so far forget your sa- cred duty to yourselves, your chil- dren and your country as to sit by silently and submissively and allow the ignorant and degraded to turn back the hands of our civilization, to gnaw with venomous tooth at the very beart of our liberty. to pol lute the purity of our American cit izenship, neutralize your suffrage by bartering away their owD, and destroy every sentiment fpure and lofty patriotism which has created republic Tn this broad land of our?"
 The circular declare that "the time has come to meet the terrible and gigantic evils of negro dominalion in our State face to face, and array in solid phalanx against the arrog- ance, corruption and treachery of the negro leaders" and proposes as a remedy "that all Republican pri- maries shall be conducted and par tlcipated in by white Republicans alone and exclusively, thus depriv- ing the negro leader of his power of makingnominations and selecting delegates and of delivering the suf- frage of his followers to whomso- ever bids the most"
 Of the Republican State conven- tion, September 3, the circular says that "althought sailing under the name of Republicanism, it was nothing but ship manned by pi- rates, bent upon an errand Of evil and mischief, and deserves the ab- horrane and contempt of every true Republican" The circular concludes with an appeal to the white Repub- licaps of the State to "shake off the yoke of negro domination and shat ter the letters of the negro politi- cian."
 We hope Messrs. Lodge and Rowell have not overlooked this valuable campaign document. Pos sibly they would like to attribute it in the interest of the force bill. National Democrat.

The production of steel in this country during the first six months of this year is given by reliable authority as approximating very closely to 8O0,O0O tons. This is said by the same authority to be 225,000 tons or more in excess of the production for the same period last year. This indicates a very healthful condition of the steol-rail trade for the year so far, and the indications are that that activity will be continued.-American Man ufacturer.

Simple as hay rake, yet sound as yearling colt" is the comment of the New York Sun on the following extract from an essay read by a young: lady at Farmers Institute "After congress has done all it can and ought to be done after legisla- lures have done all they can; after farmers alliance have done all they can, the farmers prospects will de- pend upon the farmer himself, the attention he gives to every detail of his work, the thought, the brain he devotes to it."

Ariz0Ra's Brave Days of Old.

 moss retiring. Nobody noticed par ticulrly Fred Henry, of Bisbee, del egate to the Democratic Territorial Convention. If you questioned him he would merely say that he , was working now in the copper Queen mines and yet by inquiry among old timers, it would be dis covered that the little, quiet man had been a pioneer here, who from 1863 to 1879 Withstood every shock and charge of murderous red men, who for so many years strove des- perately to drive pale faces from their Arizona hunting grounds.
 The Battle Flat fight in the Brad shaws, south of Prescott, deserves to rank with Thermopylae and Bannockburn in point ot true cour- age and determined daring. Mir. Henry and four companions were prospecting for mineral. At four o'clock in the morning, when all nature was dark and still, a band of 15O Apaches, painted in their fierciest colors, made sudden dash upon the little camp expecting to sweep its unconscious inmates out of existence in a twinkling.
 But those savages had not yet learned the indomitable pluck of that white race which has peopled this continent and madeit the great est on earth. Grasping their arms, for they had better weapons than their assailants, the little group clustered together and, aiming by sound alone, drove back the first onset. When the next charge was made they had taken the most available stations among the jagged rocks about them. Down tumbled five Apaches at every volleY. Up the steep cliffs they rushed again and again, only to fly back, pierced with bullets and bowling with baf- fled rage.
 As the sun rose that morning, the undaunted pioneers, peeping now and then from behind their granite defences, could see dead and dying Apaches for long dis tance down the narrow trail, some still wriggling in mortal agony ]; many more stiff and cold and terri bly, mangled.
 Nor did the garrison itself escape unscathed. Shot and arrows had riddled them, despite their caution. One died of his wounds, when the fight was over, and all were laid up many a long day thereafter. But they maintained the unequal con test for nine and half long hours :; weak from loss of blood and the terrible tax on brain and muscle.
 Driven by modification that five should thus hold out against thirty times such numbers, the savages made one final effort to carry the camp. Again they were moved down with leaden hail, and at 1 30 D. m. the survIvors of this seemingly easy attack fled in terror, believing the pale faces to be supernatural spirits, against whom it were folly to long CT contend.
 There have been many such in stances of heroism Tn Arizona's early history, but doubt if such fearful odds were ever so long and so successfully resisted,
 And yet, when the Herald man said Come Fred, tell us about that Battle Flat fight" the latter simply remarked: "Yes, I was there," and became as dumb as. an oyster.- , Phoenix Herald.

THE SQUADRON OF EVOLUTION
Severe Punishment for DisobedienCe
mt Rio Janeiro.

New YORK, Aug. 5.--The story has
just leaked out at the navy yard to the
effect that while the squadron was
anchored at Rio Janeiro, June last,
Ensign Manning keyres and Junior
Lieutenant William Il. Il. Rush were
subjected to court martial for being ON
shore over night, and that for this both
were sentenced to suspension from duty
for two years. The reason for the heavy
sentence, as given by a prominent
officer, was that Rio Janeiro was at that
time inflicted with yellow fever. The
fever, as is we'll known, Is an infectious
disease, and much more likely to be
contracted at night than by day,
and for this reason the navy
regulations provide very stringent
rules in relation to shore leaves
in infected ports, the order being
that no member OF ships company
shall remain on shore after dusk. Dis
obedience OF this order means the likeli-
hood OF infection to the whole ships
crew.
There arc rumors of other troubles
having occurred on board ship, one of
cases being well known, namely, the sus-
pension OF Commander Howell on the
ground of disobedience of orders, in hav-
ing sailed his ship out of the harbor of
Toulon without permission. This case
still remains to be settled.

The conlerrees on the sundry civil bill
to-day considered some communications
submitted by Mr.. Wilson, of Washing
ton, for an amendment to the Port
Angeles townsite clause. The change
contemplated is to give those who have
made improvements on one lot Of land,
other than the one on which their resi-
denco is established, tho right to
purchase those lots at an appraised value
before the regular date Of sale. The
COMMITTEES is iavorably disposed to the
amendment, with n proviso excepting
those who settled prior to July, 1890.
The committee also considered u COM
munication with reference to the survey
of timbered lands in Washington. 1t is
desired by Washington that greater rates
he allowed, or that the clause which
limits the survey to agricultural lands
be stricken out. If this were done it
would allow the state an earlier oppor-
tunity to select school lands. which is a
point in ITS favor Senator Hale favored
the allowance of the greater rate for the
survey, and said that this would prob
ably be the sense Of the committee.
