WILLIAM JENNINGS, an American,
seventy-three years Of age, who had
gone to England to give evidence in a
trial in which the Jennings family seek
to recover possession of vast tract of
land in that country, was being driven
from the house of one relative to that
of another near Castleford, by Joseph
Jennings, who was also a relative, a
few days ago, and in some way fell
over the edge of the vehicle and was
killed by the wheels. The body was
discovered by stranger. Joseph
Jennings, who was apparently under
the influence of liquor, declared that
he was unable to say when or how the
accident had happened. The coroner's
jury returned verdict of accidental
death.

WHEN asked why drunken men 50
often escape injury by accident, ply
sician said that it was due to lack of
interest in their fate. In falling the
body is limp and lifeless, while that of
sober man would probably be very
nearly rigid. In case of the latter d
blow upon any part of the body would
be followed by an instantaneous con-
traction of the. muscles, having, per-
haps, nearly as much force as the blow
itself. 1t was stated by the physician
that often the sudden and violent CON
traction of the muscles caused by a
blow, furnished nearly half the force
exerted to produce the fracture of a
bone. A drunken mans muscles, it
was explained, would not respond in a
similar way to the shock Of a blow,
and he would naturally escape that
element of danger.

CHICAGO EAGLE.

WHAT is known as Leghorn straw is
raised on tie hills which rise on each
side of the rivers Pisa and Elsa, south
OF Florence, Italy. Its adaptability to
the uses to which it is destined de-
ponds principally on the soil on which
it is sown, which soil, to all appear
ances, exists only in this small dis
trict, out of the bounds of which the
industry is unknown. Any variety of
wheat which has a hollow, flexible
stem can be used for seed. The soil
must be titled and prepared very much
as it is for corn, but the seed is sown
five times as thick as is usual for other
purposes; this is done in the months of
December or February. When the
straw is full grown, and before the
grain begins to form itself in the ear,
it is uprooted and firmly tied in
sheaves the size of handful. Each
sheaf or menata, as it is called, is
spread out in the shape of fan to
dry in the sun for three days, after
which it is slowed away in the barns.
The harvest being over and the fields
empty, it is again spread out to catch
the heavy summer dews and to bleach
in the sun, during which process it is
carefully turned until all sides are
equally white.

Samuel b. Chase Marches Out of the
North Town with Great Vote
The Result in Detail.

The spring election is over, and the
result cannot fail to be satisfactory to
the people. Good men have been
chosen all along the line, with a few
notable exceptions. THE EAGLE has
especial reason to be proud of the bal
loting. Almost every candidate to
whom it gave its support was triumph
antly elected, Jacob Richards laid
out the cemetery representative for
South Town Assessor in great style.
Popular Sam Chase on the North Side
increased his majority to an unprece-
dented figure. Able, honest, and
brainy Ed Cullerton goes back to the
Council from the Ninth Ward by a
fine vote. Adam Meyer is grandly
elected in the Twenty-frst Ward,
William Eisfeldt is elected in the
Twentieth, Walter NJ. Pond in the
Eleventh, and John Powers in the
Nineteenth. To each of these gen
tlemen, struggling against heavy odds,
! and against the ISLANDERS of partisan
press, The EAGLE gave a gallant and
answering support. 1t congratulales
the people and felicitates itself upon
their success.

The escapade of w. H. Bennett, young
and prosperous merchant of this city, who
until now has stood well socially. About
q year ago Bennett married in Sterling and
soon removed here, where he engaged in
business. Soon afterward woman named
Morgan moved near his place of business.
Before long an intimacy sprang up between
the two. His wife discovered his pertidy
and charged him with it. He admitted it
and promised to do better. Each time,
however, he returned to bis paramour.
On Wednesday afternoon lie left his
home, taking all the money he had and
drawing his cash balance at the bauk. The
woman also disappeared on Thursday.
This morning Bennett returned to the city

here to his clerk, after which he disap-
peared, before those who were hunting him
knew of his presence. The wife has sworn
out warrant for the arrest of both, but
they have not been arrested. Bennett

Such recent experience as that of Chi
nese mission will suffice for our present
purpose. 1t is reported that during the
late disturbances in southern China con-
sequent upon the French expedition to
Tonquin a small Wesleyan mission station
at Fatshan was at the mercy of riotous
mob. The chapel was wrecked. The hospital
for days was menaced and was hourly ex-
pected to fall, but here for the first time
the rioters appeared to hesitate. Some Of
the sick were removed before their eyes !;
others, they knew, could not leave the
building. They constantly threatened the
assault, yet the blow never came, and amid
their angry menaces the doctor was al
lowed to pass freely to and from the hos
pital. A finer touch that which COM
PEELED a kindred feeling between
this rabble and its foreign benefactors

nese mob probably did not include many
acute controversialists in theology, but it
did, as a whole, recognize the presence of
that charity which is rightly regarded as
| the essence of religion.

Across the rough ploughed land the

string of rosary beads in the snow, fell
closer and closer together.

PROFESSOR EIHU THOMSON has a
paper in the Electrical Age, in which he
says that some people die because of their
having blown out the gas, and asks: "Shall
we therefore condemn gas burners?p The
Professor is not sound in his reasoning.
If man does not have intelligence sufi-
cient to get off of railway track when a
train approaches, and is consequently run
over and killed, it is no reason for con-
deming railways There is very broad
distinction between dangers of which we
know and may avoid, and those of which
we do know and cannot avoid. Thus, no
man can tell just when and where Give
wire" may fall or cross another, and there
fore no man can tell when and where he is
in danger froE. "live wire" Hence the
necessity for requiring electrical wires of
all kinds to be well put up, and that all
other securities against accident in the use
of the electrical current, reasonably neces-
sary, shall be adopted.

ship has been SO large, and made up so in
discriminatory that the police have had
little difficulty in penetrating into the
very heart of the councils. Now, however,
the secret work is confined to the few, and
these are chosen witha care not heretofore
exercised. Outside of this political Or
ganization with its ramihcations
reaching into every State in Europe, there
are the radical Nihilists, whose activity is
confined to Russian territory only, and
who are the ready agents Of cruelty and
assassination. The leadership of the Nj
hilists is absolutely pitiless; the quality
of mercy has been banished from their
hearts. We need not be surprised to hear
all this winter that both the organiza-
tions are actively at work, the first upon
the more legitimate lines of revolutionary
hopes, the other upon the plane of the as
sassin, and with the sole object of striking
terror to the hearts of the ruling classes.

A NEW LIST OF FREEHoLDERs.

On Saturday we stated that public
spirited citizens were in consultation con-
corning a revision of the list of Freehold
ers proposed by the Trustees as board
for the drafting of new Charter. The
RECoRD-UNIoN then stated that if the re-
vised list appeared to be an Improvement
we should publish and approve it. AT
that time we said, and now repeat, that the
RECORD UNION takes no exception to any
citizen, assuch, named by the Trustees-that
all of them are estimable citizens, and that
any criticism made by this Journal is d.
rected to the balance, the grouping and
the general strength of the ticket as a
whole.
Several of the citizens named upon the
Trustees ticket have declined to run, and
revision therefore becomes necessary. The
ticket that is now presented for consldera-
ton, and which is the result of conscien-
tious and long consideration, appears to US
to be considerably stronger and much
better balanced than the original. While
it does not reach the ideal, nor is it likely
that could be attained, because of declina-
tions, it is a fairly representative, strong
and safe list. The gentlemen named upon
it, the REcoRD-U UNION believes, can be
intrusted with the important duty
of Charter building, in perfect conf
dence that they will bring to the
work their best energies, and that they
will labor to inform themselves thoroughly
upon the subject of municipal government.
The names proposed, and in the selection
of which we believe neither political bias nor
social prejudices at all entered, are as fol-
lows: Representing knowledge of and COM
potency in legal matters, Hon. A. P. Cat
lin, Hon. S. Scion Holl, Clinton L. White,
Matt F. johnson. Representing expert
ence and engineering skill that mus. be
given to all questions of street grades,
street work, levee building, drainage and
sewerage, VIM. F. Knox, c. E. Grunsky.
Representing sanitary affairs, DR.. Wallace
A. Briggs. Representing mechanical sub
jects, Jabez Turner. Representing navi-
cation, trade and commerce, realty values,
financial problems and general public
interests, Hon. F. r. Dray, T. B. Hall, P.
E. Plat, S. S. Southworth, Aug. Hebron,
G. NJ. Mott, Capt. Thos. Dryer.
We believe that here is list the Trus-
tees can approve in their revision. with
the full concurrence of the mass of the
people. We are distinctly to be understood
as not having personal candidates in this
matter, nor as in any way impugning the
capacity of the Trustees to select. But
we do say that public interests are always
best conserved by second thoughts, and
that better results always flow from frank
and deliberate consideration of such mat
tiers as these. The REcoRD-UNIoN there
fore has no hesitation in saying that the
"Citizens' Ticket" which we have anal
wed above, is one that ought to command
the support of the people, and so believ-
ing, this journal advises its adoption,
being, as whole, the strongest and best
balanced ticket yet presented.

THERE appears to be good reason to be-

THE EPIDEMIC.


There is general agreement among the
physicians at the East that the fatality of
the influenza has been greatly exagger-
ated. So, too, has its prevalence. Every
one having a cold is inclined to believe he
has the disease. The truth is, as discov-
cred by analysis of the reports of physi-
clans in New York and Boston, that pneu-
monia has been unusually prevalent this
winter; that there are many cases of epi-
demlc influenza, and that some of them
have proven fatal But the extreme cases
have nearly all terminated in pneumonia
or lung fevers. In the vast majority of
cases of influenza the patients are confined
to their houses but two or three days, and
not then in bed. Some instances are given
where the patients never ceased attendance
upon their business. DIR. Shrady, in the
Medical Record, says of the real influenza
that is epidemic:
1t partakes more of the febrile and nervous
variety than that of the purely catarrhal. The
increased temperature in the beginning of the
attack, with the severe pains in the head, back,
and lower extremities, are the leading phenom-
ena which are noted in the large majority of
cases. Only in comparatively few instances
are the coryzal symptoms the leading features
OF the seizure. This latter is, perhaps, fortu
nate circumstance. in view of the generally ac-
cepted opinion concerning the greatly exagger-
ated danger of bronchitis and pneumonia as
necessary complications. The proStration is
ottentimes extreme, but by no means danger
Gus, and readily yields to the usual remedies.
The after effects, the physicians agree,
are such as are indicated by feelings of
prostration and a lowering of the health
tone, but this soon yields to care of the
person and ordinary tonic treatment. The
remedies that appear to have found most
favor with the physicians of the East are
laxatives, anodynes, antipyreties and ton
les, with stimulating expectorants, while
for the headaches antipyrin and the
bromides are in most prominence. 1t is
likely that the epidemic will be of brief
duration. 1t shows no contagious features
and is not, say the medical faculty, to be
greatly feared, though no one should con-
slider its assaults matter TO be neglected.
While the best health conditions should
be studied, aud their conservation is the
only known preventive agency. the doc
tors are all agreed that it is not possible
to name any positive preventive, for those
are frequently attacked who are most
robust, and with whom the health condi-
tions are the best. These appear to be
the sum of the opinions of the Eastern
physicians as the result of their observa-
ton of the epidemic in this country. 1t
will be noted that there is much less con-
Germ manifest by our doctors than by those
of Europe, and this justifes the conclusion
that the disease is not so malignant in the
United States as in the Old World

THE general judgment of those compe-
tent to criticise by reason of long observa-
ton, is that the life-saving station and
crew at Ocean Beach, San Francisco, is
chiefly valuable as a fair weather orna-

failures of the crew to do duty, quotes
