THEORY advanced by some friends
of Sir William Gordon Cumming, the
notorious hero Of the baccarat scandal,
is that he has inherited st. Vitus dance
from his mother and that the spasmodic
twitching of his fingers, which his COM
panions at Tranby Croft thought suspi-
cious and dishonest, was merely the
manifestation of that disease. This
theory would be an extremely tenable
one were it not. Tor the unfortunate fact
that Sir Williams Saint Vitus always
danced in his favor.

MARINE HOSPITALS.
An Interesting Report by the Supervis

An Interesting Report by the Supervis-
ing Surgeon General.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-Dr. John B. Ham,
ilton, the supervising surgeon general of
the marine hospital service, has completed
his report to the secretary of the treasury
showing the operations OF the service for
the fiscal year ended June 80 1890. This
was the ninety first year of the existence of
the service.
The report shows that in the 1872 marine
hospitals, and at the l20 other smaller sta
tlons at which hospital relief was furnished
there were treated during the year 5O,671
sailors, of which number Ii, 6S7 were treat
ed in hospitals. OF the patients treated in
hospitals, it is Of interest to note. saws the
report, as all index of the nativity of the
sailors employed on American registered
vessels, that is: GIG Of these were born in the
United States.
The report of work done in the hygeinic
and archaeological ]abratory at New York
embraces Investigations into the merits of
the cobra virus as remedy for cholera. In
the Psychological labratory, which is To-
Gated at the quarantine station on the Dry
Tortugas Tor the special investigation of the
cause OF yellow fever, and supplied with the
most recent and complete scientific
instruments and appliances, special work
OF this character has been carried on by one
officer of the service, the results of which
are still tentative. 1t is recommended that
the laboratory at New York be moved to
Washington and combined with the chem
ical laboratory now connected with the
bureau.
The report contains special description
of the origin, cause and termination Of the
'grppe' epidemic, and attention, with a
note OF warming, is called to the epidemic
OF cholera which has prevailed so extern
siyely in Asia Minor, Persia and Spain, and
which still exists in Japan. No epidemic of
yellow fever has been reported. but the
surgeon, general states the United States

ernmept sufficient funds to make Havana a
healthy seaport. Yellow fever is almost
always present in Havana and Rio de
Janiero, and those cities could be made
healthy if proper measures we're taken.
They are standing menace to the health
of the United States.

Replying to addresses presented to him
he said that he had done his part toward
the solution of the Irish problem
when he had the conferences with
Mr.. OBrien, and the subsequent de-

the difficulty was entirely the fault of
others. He held up his own mind on the

CAUSED BY LIQUOR.
Drink Causes Judge Warder, City At
torney Of Chattanooga, Tenn, to
Become a Murderer.
S. N. Fugette, Son-in-law Of Warder,
and a Prominent Young Business
Man, the Victim.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Jan. ia horrible
tragedy occurred here to-day. S. M. Flu
gette, cashier Of the South Chattanooga
Savings bank, was shot and killed by his
father-in-law, Judge J. A. Warden, who is
city attorney Of Chattanooga.
Judge Warder is shot in two places. One
ball penetrated his breast at the right nip
pie and the other took off the finger of the
left hand. p. ..~
Mrs. Fugette is the only child of Judge
Warder, and is shot in the right thigh; it is
avery dangerous wound. -. E. =.
From the evidence at the coroner's
inquest it appears that Judge Warder
came home at 1 o'clock in a very
drunken condition and imm ediately went
to Mr.. and Mrs. Fugette's room, where the
shooting took place as soon as he entered.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fugette lived with Judge and
Mrs. Warder on College street.
There were seven shots fired, five by Judge
Warder and two by Mr.. Fugette. 1t is said
Mrs. Fugette was the last person shot and
Fugette then fell dead, shot through the
heart. He was found with newspaper in
one hand and pistol with two empty
chambers in the other. Mrs. Fugette was
lying over him with her arms entwining
him, piteously crying for some one to save
him.
Judge Warder staggered to neighbours
house and is now there in a precarious con-
dition. Mrs. Fugette is also unable to
speak and what took place in the room
aside from the shooting is not yet known.
From evidence before the coroner's jury
it appears that Judge Warder frequently
came home drunk and abused his wife and
daughter, and the women would appeal for
protection to Mr.. Fugette. Such trouble
occurred late Saturday night, and Mr..
Fugette quieted his father-in-law. Mr. and
Mrs. Fugette have been married but two
years. have been living happy together,
and have a five months old baby. Mr..
Fugette was about twenty years of age,
popular and successful business man.
Mrs. Fugette is very handsome woman.
Judge Warder is one of the best known
lawyers in the state. For six years he was
United States district attorney for the mid
die district of Tennessee, appointed by
President Hayes. He was a brave and gal
liant Union soldier, and is one of the most
prominent of Republican politicians in this
state. He owns considerable property and
has large lucrative practice in this city
He is man of the highest culture, of most
polished and affable manners. His domes-
tic affairs were always supposed to have
been OF the happiest.
The affair has created great sensation
here and the opinion seems to be general
that it was the result of a crazy drunk.
