Killed by Kocll's I.ymph.

New HAVEN, Conn, February a.
George M. Bradley, who was the first pa
tient in this country to receive lymph in
ocnlation, died to-day, and q son OF Prof.
Blake, another lymph patient, who had
been under treatment for nearly two
months, is at the point of death.
Bradley was man but little over 30
years of age, and was not in an advanced
stage of consumption when he began re-
ceiying the treatment. Previously he
was not confined to tho house, but during
his treatment he had been. During the
past few weeks he suffered intensely, as
the treatment had distressing effect upon
his tlrost. making it difficult and ex.
tremely painful for him to take any nour.
ishment. His physicians state that his
death was undoubtedly FASTENED by the
condition of his throat as his strength
disappeared very fast because of his ina
bility to take food. He had been receiving
the injections since very early in Decem-

Stopping a Train.

!.
The following story is told by B.. W.
Vedder, locomotive engineer now in
st. Louis; "When the Kansas Pacific
was first opened the Indians were very
hostile, and there was constant fear that
they would wreck the trains. That they
did not is due to their ignorance of the
iron horse and of the best methods of de-
stroying it. One of my fremen had an
experience with the Cheyennes that he
will never forget. He was on the road
near Fort Wallace when he saw that the
Indians had cut the telegraph wire and
knew that he might look out for squalls.
They were never satisfied with simply
cutting the wire, but chopped it into inch
pieces with their tomahawks to effectually
stop the mysterious messages. As the
train came near q large patch ofsunfow.
ers, which grew on both sides of the
track, over one hundred Indians rose up,
stretched a strong rope across tho track,
braeed themselves and prepared to
receive the shock of the locomotive.
AS was afterwards learned, they had
taken rawhide strips, braided them to-
gether, and, with force of fifty at each
end of the rope, thought they would be
able to stop the train. The instant the
locomotive struck the rope the air WAS
full of Indians. They were thrown in
all direotionu, Some were jerAed clear
across the train, and mors than dozen
were killed or seriously injured. This
was the last attempt made for years to
stop the trains"

The Southern Farmer says The cause of
thesloW price of cotton IS agreed to on all
ssides asa consequence Of an. immense in
crease Of acreage during the past year
Many tenants, sas well as landlords, are
holding their cotton for better prices.
Now let the edict go forth from the high
:sSest Alliance authorities in the Southern
States to all the sub, Alliances urging that
the acreage in cotton for the present year
sbs reduced at least Is to 20 per cent, and
Esthe acreage in food crops be proportion
gately increased. a combined action of
this: sort tHould be almost certain to raise
the price Of cotton from two to four cents
s:psr pound by the. first Of May, and every
& farmer who can hold his cotton this long
would get the advantage of it. Il would
sorsconrse, raise the price for the present
yearin proportionate degree. This is q
sBork which the Alliance only can per-
Sforna, and .that;it can perform II success

The general storm movements organ

will grow in violence as they sweep
Eastward, reaching their worst between
the LIST and Sd, inclusive. On the South
side ofstorm areas, dangerous storms need

destructive rslset and snow billiards. are
apt to result. Prepare for the period to
end in one of the most general aud bitter
cold waves of the Winter. The wires
will suffer woefully during the perturba-
|. tions of this period. Mark our warnings
for heavy sleet. The cold will generally
relax, and much local storminess will
follow on and next to the reactionsry 9Th
and 7th.
The 18th is the central day of the next
regular storm period. This period will

After Thirty.nine Years.

a MI. Maull, who is connected with
:Halsey's mill, at the west end Of the city,
swallowed brass pin some thirty:nine
years ago. He was then nine or ten
years old, and remembers the occurrence
perfectly. He was playing with his sis.
ter and put the pin in his mouth to keep
it. In laughing he swallowed it.
Soon afterwards he had an an irritated
throat and chest, and coughing set in.
His symptoms were those of person in
need of Koch's lymph.
In coughing, yesterday, the pin came
up. It was coated with coating of hard
substance, resembling verdigris, aud had
become considerably enlarged. As soon
as Mr.. Maull coughed up the pin, he felt
at once relieved Of all pain in his chest
and throat, and is greatly rejoiced at the
result. He has the souvenir of his years
of suffering in vial.-Charleeton World,

Too Previous for PETER.

"a
TOPEKA, KAs., February 2.--It is said
that the Alliance leaders are already be.
ginning to talk of Senator.elect PETER as
an Alliance or Third Party candidate for
President in 1892. Speaker Pro Tenn
Marchatt remarked that such thing
would not be at all out of the question.
Said he: "Kansas is going to be the
leader of the Alliance movement. The
election of United States Senator and
FIVE Congressman before the party lisa
year old is q greater victory than was
ever achieved by new party in any
State. It puts Kansas in the front in
this great movement, and this State may
be called upon to furnish the Presiden-
tial candidate. If Kansas names the
leader in 1892, it is probable it would be
United States Senator PETER.

Drew StraWs for the Wife.

W1LKEsBARRE, Pa, January 20.-A
romantic event has come to light here. It
IS repetition of the old tale:of Enoeh
Arden, but with q somewhat different
ending. In 1883 William Evans and
Maggie Williams were residents Of Tam.
aqua. schuylkill County. They fell in
|. love with each other, and In course of
time were married. g Evans, who previ.
ously worked in the mines, had little
capital, and after his marriage started o
amall mercantile business: he did not
succeed very we'll, and becoming disconr.

Inthe meantime two children were born
to the couple. The. husband promised
that he would send for his wife and chill
dren as aoon as he made q home for them
in the West. For two years Evans work.
ed in the mines of Colorado. He sent
money home TO his wife every month.
Then he fell sick and wss taken to 9 hos.
pital. Thst's tho last his wife heard Of
him until some months later, when she
received paper apprising her of her
husbands death. ~
Upon receipt of this news Mrs, Evans
removed to Wilkesbarre and kept house
for her uncle. She was q good looking
woman for her age, and in the spring of
1889 married John S. jenkins, and both
lived happily together. On Friday Mrs.
jenkins heard. q knock at her front door
and sent her oldest girl to open the door.
A%welI. dressed man stood in,the doorway.
He said to the little girl: "Is your NAM.
ma in3 and is ehe all alone ?" The little
miss responded: Yes, mamma is in and
all alone" The gentleman then walked
in. Mrs. Jenkins recognized the man at
once as her husband.
She tainted, and after she recovered
she explained the situation. The hus.
band said it was all his fault he should
have kept tup his correspondence with
his wife. He had been sick, but: recoy.
cred; ! the Evans who died was another
man. :55s 3.
In the evening Mr.. jenkins came home
and his surprise was great. "What are
We going to do now, wife ?0 he asked.
"Indeed, I don't know" said Mrs. Jen.
kins, 81 always did love my first husband
and I love you, too. don't like to give
either Of you up.''
After q long discussion of the situation
the men agreed that two husbands we're
too many for one woman, they would
pull straws for her. The woman agreed.
Evans won. Husband No.2 at once
packed up his belongings and moved out
of the house. Mrs. Evans still retains
possession Of his child, but with the
fathers consent. Early this week Evans
will remove his family to Denver. The
affair has created no little excitement

the educated and religious was recently
exhibited in the case of Mrs. Rebecca
Byrnes, Of Helena, Ark, lady noted
for her intellectual 4 attainments and
pious life. One morning, arising in
what seemed her usual health and spirits,
she summoned her children to come to
her.
One son was residing in Topeka Kan,
one in New Orleans, two daughters we're
married and living in Sedalia. Mo-, but
obedient to their mothers call, they
came at once, though ignorant of the
reason of their summons. When all
were about her the lady informed them
that she had a dream, in which her hus-
band, who had been dead for nearly ff-
teen years, had warned her that she had
only ten days more of life. She sent for
her children to bid them goodbye, which
she proceeded to do with much calmness,
but with the air of ore who had not the
slightest doubt that she was already dy-

such perfect confidence in 8 dream, but
all to no purpose, for the lady persisted
in asserting that she would depart from
earth on such a day and exactly at a
certain hour.
Her pastor demonstrated with her, and
even brought the seyerest censure to
bear on her superstitious credulity, and
at last Mrs. Brynes ceased to speak of
the matter, 30 tast her family had begun
to think that she had conquered her
fancy. She continued In good health
and pursued her usual daily life, but Just
before the hour she had predicted would
be that of her death she sought her chill
dren and bade them goodbye, then
seating herself quietly in an arm chair,
expired just as the hour was struck. The
physicians declare that her death was
