"In Darkest Africa" has met with a

1t is Not SO Bad as London's. but 1t Causes
Great Annoyance.
NNEw YORK, Dec. 26.-The heaviest, densest
fog that has obscured this city fo- years has
hung over rivers and bay all day. Traffic on
the streets has been much impeded and Oh the
rivers the ferry boats, tow boats and
smaller craft have been compelled
to move at a much reduced speed. Although
several large ocean steamers are due today
none have been reported from Fire Island,
the only arrival being the steamship bermuda
from st. Croix. Outgoing mail steamships
are employing extra caution and moving
down the bay with only sufficient way on them
to keep them steerable. An object, they say,
cannot be seen from the bridge Of steamer
more than SO yards away. All trains on the
various railroads are much delayed, but as yet
no serious accident has been reported.

Patrick Woods Strange Disease Seems
Battle Medical Skill.

Patrick Woods Strange Disease seems to
Battle Medical skill.
The case Of Patrick Woods, SAYS the New
York Tribune today, has evidently bafied med
icai skill. For over seven years his skin
has been growing harder and thicker
every day. and finally on December 10
the authorities Of Bellevue Hospital de-
cided to send him away to Randalls Island,
where he now is under the treatment Of DIR.
James Il. Healy. Woods had formerly been q
painter, but an attack Of something like rheu-
matism compelled him to give up work, US his
arms and legs became So rigid in a short time
that he could not trust himself on the ladders
or scGffoids.
He went to Bellevue Hospital November 10.
1884. Since then he has been under the treat
ment OF q number of doctors who have since
become prominent in the medical profession.
Their efforts and special study of the case have
done little if any good to arrest the progress of
the strange disease with which Ee was
attacked. DIR. Herman N. Briggs was then in
charge OF 1.-THE ward to which Woods was first
assigned, and since that time DIR. Carlisle, Dr.
Charlton, now of Savannah; DIR. Silver, now on
the visiting staff Of Governors Island Hos
pital; Drs. Nommack, Lingley, Maurey,
Greene, Williams, McAlpine. George Briggs,
Stone, Cooper, Flint and Pulley have studied the
case. Woods has always had o good appetite
and, strange to say. has never been treated
for any other trouble, not even q cold. Dr.
Pulley at Bellevue, who last treated him, said
his skin must now be at least an inch thick
His treatment has changed under the differ
emit doctors, but there is no record Of what any
of them used. For the last four months he has
boon rubbed daily with goose grease. 10 all
appearance Woods is a healthy man Of about
lS0 pounds weight. By moving bis legs of the
side OF the bed he could sit upright, and he has
n fui use of his fiupers lint ma he newer cam-
planned of pain or needed anything except
ordinary attention IL was decided that the
time devoted to him at Bellevue Hospital could
be devoted to acute cases with more satisfacto tory
results. The doctors think that Woods viii
live about two years longer.

How Wrestling house Got . Million,

from the fEhade Times
An interesting story is told how George West.
inghouse, the millionaire inventor, obtained
81, 000, goo when he needed it badly. When the
Westinghouse Air Brake Company WAS a new
concern the directors gave to Mr.. Nesting house
paper vesting absolutely in his hands the
power to nix the selling price OF air brakes Tho
object was TO cripple competitors. WHEN the
Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Conn
pany was in trouble Mr.. Westinghouse applied
TO the air brake company for a loan Of s5O0. 900.
His application was refused and mention made
OF the fact that he owed the air brake company
S65o,0O0.
At the next meeting Of the board Mr.. West
inshouse produced the paper giving him the
authority 10 hx prices. its existenee had been
forgotten, and the directors saw the impor-
tance OF gaining possession Of II. Attorneys
were consulted 20 ascertain what could lie
done. AL sad that tbs only thing would be 20
rake terms with Mr.. westingL Ihea he
asked what be would take for the paper.
He said 81 COZ, coo, stuck 10 the figure aud got
1t. The directors who refused the lean Of
s50o,ooo and then paid over sl.00o, 900 don's
like this story, but its truth rs yonchcd tor.

JOHN J. INGALLS,.
Kansas Man Thinks He win Re Senator
Plumb's Successor.

Kansas people are thinking more than q
little about the senatorial succession. and i,
those who are supposed to know all about 1,
correctly express the sentiment OF their fellows
the situation lie somewhat at,enuated and look,
like Ingalls,.
Il have no particular love for John J. In
gals said Kansas man 10 . STAR reporter.
but he is, nevertheless, the biggest man in the
state He is the only man we have whose
reputation has outgrown the SEQ
graphical boundaries Of tho country
ana he is the only man nov available who eau
sustain the prestige OF Kansas in the national
legislature. You may say that Ingalls, is not
popular IN the state, but your statement 10 not
true
ABUSED, But THOUGHT A GREAT DIAL on.
he has been and is being abused more or
Just the same. Kansas may have done much
than he can pay; his talents have done
more than little for the reputa-
ton OF Kansas. We have jumped on
him pretty heavily and we have said good
many things we cannot prove, but If John J.
two Out speee IGNORES S x make throne
our hats in the air and shout
for him as we have in the past Kansas
has soft place in her heart for ingalls,. and
when she is looking around for a brainy states
man she can { help seeing Ingalls,.
Next to ingalls, Es 9 possibility is J. r. Bur-
Ton OF Abilene. He is a lawyer OF prominence
and an orator OF the highest grade. There were
good many frstrate speakers at the trans
Mississippi congress at Denver, bat none of
them eXcelled Burton.
Some of the prophets think J. K. Hudson
has chance That may be so, for he would
not oppose Gov. Humphreys when that gentle
man tries to capture the senatorial prize from
the next legislature. Hudson is editor and
principal proprietor Of the Topeka Capital, q
thorough Grand Army man and snout and out
fighter.
THE KANSAS IcIcLE.
''George X. Anthony cannot be appointed.
he is not popular enough. We cali him the
Kansas icic.e.' He wrecked whatever political
chances he had when he was governor by call
ing out the militia to protect the Santa Fe
railroad property; Some people thought then
and still think tine property did not need pro-
lection.
George R. Peck is one of the best fellows in
the state, but no governor dare make even n
temporary Senator out OF him. He is general
attorney for the Santa Fe road and that is his
stumbling block.
''Ex-Governor Osborne and Ex-Represen.a-
tive Is. W. Perkins have also been mentioned
but not seriously. Mr.. Perkins lost his oppor-
tunlty when he left Kansas TO make his home
in Washington.
THINKS INGALLS, WILL BE SELECTED.
Looking the ground over without prejudice
think Ingalls, will be selected. As said before,
have no love for him, but i would like to
see him come back to the Senate, for two
reasons: because he is mentally the
biggest man in the state and because would
like to see him get even with some of those
people who thought he was dead and who
acted accordingly. If he does come lac will be

SHOCKED BIZ a,ooo VOLTS.

Milkman Williams Killed at Orange, N. J.,
by n Wire Pronounced to Re Harmless.
ORANGE. N. j., Dec. 26.-Frank E. Williams,
a milkman, was killed by an electric shock on
High street at o'clock this morning. An old
unused wire Of the district messenger
service broke during the night aud fell
across the wires OF the city lighting
system, which carry o current of 1900 volts
The weather this morning was very foggy.
While Williams was delivering milk the horse
went ahead and. coming in contact with
tho old wire, was knocked down. Williams
ran to his assistance and was struck in
the face by the wire, which he
grasped with both hands and held on to. No
person witnessed the actual occurrence. Will
Jams was taken to the residence of J. N. Rob-
bins and DR.. Bradshaw was called In. He
came too late, however, for Williams was be-
yond human aid. His body was taken to the
morgue.
Roundsman Drabelf found the wire In a
dangerous condition early in the night and no.
tilted the Essex County Electric Company. The
engineer of the company went to the spot and
made an examination and decided that there
was no danger.

ter, N. H., February 5, 1850, died in the hos
pital of the state prison at l0:l5 clock this fore

scarcely voluntarily moved muscle from the
time he was discovered i'll in his cell. He lay
in stupor in the hospital ali day andiast night,
the officers OF the prison wctting his lips with
cold water at intervals.
At about 7a8 this morning a marked change
was noticed III his condition and from that
time I've sank rapidly until he died. Death came
peacefully without h struggle. The body was
at once prepared for burial and telegram sent
10 the dead mans counsel, JAS. A. Edgerly OF
