BERLIN, Feb. 26.-At last nights
meeting of the medical society Prot.
Liebrich detailed the prescription for the
preparation Of his new tuberculosis cure,
az follows: Two tenths of a gramme of
cantharadine, four-tenths of a gramme
of hydrate of potash, or three tenths Of a
graume of hydrate of natron. These in.
gradients ought to be weighed exactly in
a one-thousand cubic centimeter of water
and then warmed in a warm bath until a
clear solution is obtained. While the
warmth is maintained water should be
gradually added until it reaches the mark
when the solution becomes cold. Cold
water should be added until the whole
amounts to exactly one litre.

ing the murderer of ''Carroty Nell' in
the W~hitechapel district ten days ago,

Census Bulletin on Aluminium.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The census
bureau in q bulletin on the subject OF
aluminium says: This interesting
etal has at last reached a stage of
actual production, and the United
States is now one of the leading pro-
ducers. The all important feature of
the industry at present however, is
an effort by new processes to reduce
the cost of making the metal. Promi-
nence is therefore given to a concise
and very exact resume OF the methods
of extraction OF aluminium and their
results for II number of years with
other valuable information leading to
this ~. The product for the
Gems, car 1889 was AZ, 46S pounds.
inciuulng aluminium in alloys valued
at $94, 335. The principal sources OF
aluminium have heretofore been cryo-
lite from Greenland, and imported
bauxite, but recently discoveries of
bauxite have been maze in Arkansas
which will no doubt lead TO more
extensive use of the domestic article.

I'D Neil Must Hang.

LINCOLN. Neb., July 1.-The SUI
preme court has handed down the long
looked for decision in the Neil case
Neil will have to hang October 9. 1891.
The main points in the case were
whether the jury should have visited
the scene of the murder without the
prisoner; whether such viewing of the
premises was evidence, and whether
the evidence admitted as to the finding
Of the body OF Dorothy Jones was part
OF the resgesta, and whether the jury
was legally empanneled. Neil's at
torneys contended that he had not
waived his right to go with the jury
to the premises, and that he could not
do so. The state contended that he
had waived his right and did so.
Judge Cobb hands down the following
opinion:
at Is not my purpose to discuss the
question or questions of law. 1t is
enough to say that the statute empow-
ers trial court in its discretion to
send jury to view the scene of the
commission OF the crime when the ac-
cused is on trial for its commission.
Doubtless the primary feature and the
sole object of such view is to enable
the jury, by the location of the
grounds, buildings, fences or other in
animate objects at and near the scene
OF the acts constituting the crime
which they are investigating, so to
better enable them to apply the facts
TO be stated to them by witnesses.
Whether the sight of these immediate
objects is to be considered as evidence
before the jury is question not deemed
important to decide in this case, and
1T is not decided. 1t is not suggested,
nor am | able to see that by this in
struction the plaintiff in error was or
could have been deprived of anything
which could have tended to his favor
or benefit. 1t is not suggested in the
record or brief that the evidence fails
to sustain the verdict. The judgment
of the district court is affirmed"

LONDON, July ,. Tho Telegraph,

the harvest ih Russia this year is like

draws n harr owing picture OF the re-
suits of the continued drouth. Prices

Throughout the western, central and
the greater portion OF southern Russia
the outlook is dismal. Ministerial re-
ports say that the winter crop in south
and east Russia persisted by frosts.
Famine is a ready visible in the faces
OF the peasahtry OF Kostroma. Disease

is oatmeal mixed with tree bark or
similar ingredients. In Kuson among

CHEROKEE, Ia, June 30.-Governor
Hoies arrived in this city Monday
morning, and after surveying the
flooded district issued the following
proclamation to the people OF the state:
To the People OF the State OF Iowa
You have heard OF the affliction which
has fallen upon some Of the towns oil
our state. have made "A personal ex-
animation OF the facts in this city by
coming here and going over the flood
district and find that at least seventy
five families hare lost everything and
some twenty-five more have lost most
OF their household goods and much OF
their clothing, while their dwellings
have been greatly injured by the flood.
In addition to this loss OF homes and
furniture and clothing the county mt
large has suffered greatly in the loss
OF nearly every bridge, both iron and
wooden, within its limits. A careful
estimate places the number Of families
which require help at once ut 100,
thus making population Of about five
hundred that requires for u considera-
BILE length OF time TO be cared for by the
charity Of our people. In addition To
the above many of the surrounding
towns have suffered greatly and who
will necessarily be compelled to APP
peal to the people OF the state for aid.
In view OF this calamity | recommend
that the mayors OF the several cities
OF the state and all other churitabiy
disposed persons Immediately take
steps to organize proper committees
TO solicit aid for these unfortunates
and promptly forward to David II.
Bloom, mayor OF Cherokee, for dis
tribution among those Of the city who
have suffered losses and such persons
rs may be named by the proper au-
thorities OF other towns which havo
suffered from the same calamity. All
contributions so forwarded will be
faithfully applied to the purpose for
which they are sent. Let contribu-
tions be prompt and liberal.

progress dispute arose between two
witnesses named Jim Mitchell and
Oscar Plunket, They soon drew re-
volvers, creating the greatest confu-
sion in the court room, the spectators
lodging behind doors and under
benches to escape injury. The men
instantly opened fire upon each ether
and kept it up until both had been
mortally wounded. AS all the parties
are we'll known it has caused intense
excitement.

other passengers Mrs. Maggie McVic-
prs. who will tomorrow, at Rochester,
Mimi, be married to one OF the wealth.
lest merchants OF that city, Mr.. Arthur
Morton. This marriage is the result
Of VOWS spokea ~wenty years ago, but
which were interrupted by misun-
Outstanding occasioned by the loss of
letter in the mails.
In 1872 Arthur Morton and Miss
Hartley lived on the north side in this
city and were engaged. Their parents,
however. considered them too young
to marry. 1t was agreed that young
Morton should go west and if at the
end of three years he was able to sup
port a wife and they still loved each
other, the wedding should receive pa
rental sanction. In the mean time the
two lovers were not to correspond for
Two years. Morton went to MINES tn
and for two years worked hard to pro-
vide n home for the woman he loved.
He prospered fairly and acquired u
very comfortable property. He then
wrote to Miss Hartley, apprising her
of his condition and Offering her his
hand. At that time Miss Hartley lived
in Milwaukee, which fact Mr. Morton
knew, but in directing the letter the
youth from force Of habit wrote Chica-
go instead of Milwaukee.
The young lady, still faithful, waited
for the letter, but at the END of the
third year become discouraged. She
yielded to the opportunities of Mr.
John McVicars and in 1875 married
him. In the meantime Morton waited
for a reply to his letter and as none
ever came he accepted it as a fact that
he had been rejected. He did not
pine away even after the marriage of
Miss Hartley. About six months after
Miss Hartley became Mrs. McVicars
she received through the dead letter

fore by Morton. In spite of the fact
that she was a wife. she wrote to her
first love telling him that while she
should be u faithful wife, her life
would have been pleasanter had she
received the letter in time
Three years ago Mr.. McVicars died
in this city, where he had lived for
ten years, and about year ago Mr.
Morton and Mrs. McVicars began COR
respondence. The romance ends in
the wedding which has been postponed
