Everything at Ford's Hotel was going
along as usual yesterday, and the arriv-
Ing guests. or even the regular boarders.
could not observe any trace or inconve-
hlence from the fire OF the night pre-
vious.
The several chambers above the boiler
room evidenced marks of the recent con-
ffagration. but the remainder of the hotel
was perfectly free from smoke water.
or any other indications Of the fire.
Adjoining these rooms and running d.
Fectiy above the bOiler-room was an
open shaft. which acted as a fue in draw
ing the names and smoke TO the upper
stories. The fire was magnificently ham
uleo by the local fire department, and was
connned entirely to the few rooms adj
Joining the air shaft.
The regular and transient guests who
sought other quarters in their fright were
all back at the hotel yesterday, and last
evening nothing would have suggested the
disorder Of the previous night
Mr.. W. j. Blakey, one of the hotel
clerks. was asleep in a room very near
the shaft. He was awakened by the heat
ana smoke. and, Fastening into the hall
treasured the guests who were rushing
from their rooms.
The reports Of the losses on Wednesday
night were found TO be greatly exagger-
eted. The diamonds of Mrs Irwin Welsh
ger, thought to have been stolen. were
returned yesterday by one OF the gentle
men who was assisting them in the saw
ing OF their effects. The several pairs OF
trousers belonging to Mr. A ID. Lander
KIN, which were carried outside of the
motel. are the only articles now missing.
Mr.. A j. Ford sent the following letter
yesterday, as an evidence Of the faithful
services performed by the hremen:

CURE FOR CHOLERA.

The Cause of the Disease Proved To BE q
ro-Orgarism-The Coma Splrillum
of Koch.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 30.-A commune
cation appears in the current issue ot
the Medical News of this city by DIR.
David d. Stewart, clinical lecturer OF
medicine in the Jefferson Medical
college, the Importance of which car
not be overestimated, if the claims OF
the doctor and the result of labora.
tory experiments are substantiated
by experiment on man, and II
would appear from the facts ad.
vanced that these claims are in feiI
way to be realized. The cause of chol.
era has been proved to be a micro
organism, the comma spirillum of Koch.
This germ has it's seat in the lowe,
part of the small bowels. Any remedy
that has n prompt lactal effect on this
germ in doses less than sufficient to in.
jure the person taking it, that can be
carried to this part unchanged, there tt
exert its effect, would probably in
variably cure cholera if used in time
Various drugs have been suggested a,
specifics, but none have before fulfilled
these conditions. From several years
favorable experience with hydro
naphthal, benzole derivative, in
bacterial intestinal affections, DR.
Stewart reasoned that it might answer
in cholera. 1t fulfilled many of the
conditions. 1t was powerful antiseptic
quite insoluble, harmless even in very
large doses, and moreover, was related
to carbolic acid, to which cholera germi
are especially susceptible.

ILLEGAL BANKING

TOPEKA, Kan, Oct. ii. W. Brieden-

at Enterprise Friday on complaint of
the state bank examiner for doing an
illegal banking business.
There are other prominent men inn

thus raised in New York by Owens, and
the further sum of 81, 500 in Illinois by

IN AN IRON SAFE.
Precautions To Beat Grave Robbers Get.
ting the Osslfled Mans Body.

1'"A@AtNA
LocKPoRT, N. Y, Oct. 1.-The re.
mains of the late Jonathan II. Bass, the
celebrated ossified man and widely
known museum freak, were Friday
placed in their last resting place at
Glenwood cemetery. Bass, it will
be remembered, died at his old home
at Lewiston, on the banks of tho
Niagara, seven weeks ago. The remains
were brought here and rested in the
public vault until the great iron bur-
glar-proof vault which the relatives OF
the ossified man ordered was completed.
The remains were placed in this recep-
tacle Friday and securely locked. This
precaution was taken by the relatives
to prevent the body from being stolen
by enterprising museum managers or
ghouls for doctors to make an autopsy.
The new vault is made in such man
ner that, should it be carried away, it
would take days to break it open.
Physicians have besieged relatives of
the deceased for permission to make a
post-mortem and have offered large
ANms for the body, making excuse that
1t vas in the cause of science. All such
requests have been refused. A watch
has been placed over the vault at night,
and every effort will be made to thwart
any efforts of grave robbery. The will
of the ossified man was filed for pro-
bate in the surroGate's court here. He
leaves $1,000 worth of personal proper
~ and $500 of real estate 70 number
of nieces and nephews. No objection
to tt, will being probated has been
made as vet.

BACTERIA OF THE MOUTH.
One Preventive to the Entering of Disease
Germs to the system.

One Preventive to the L uterinG of Disease
Germs to the system.
1t has long been known that warmth
and moisture favor the development
and growth of microbes. The mouth
furnishes these conditions to peculiar
degree
All germs that float in the air are
liable to find a lodgment in the mouth
and nose. Here they may remain, and
as most of them are not harmful under
any circumstances, they give no indica-
ton of their presence; and even when
noXious germs are thus lodged in the
mouth they may produce no symptoms.
If swallowed into the stomach the
juice there contained may cause their
destruction and disorgan2ation If for
any reason their vitality is not thus de
stroyed, they may be absorbed in the
system. 1t is possible that even then
they may be destroyed or eXcretod, and
give rise to no disease. 1t is after their
entrance into the system, however, that
their presence is apt to be manifest.
The danger of their entering the sys-
TEN, it should be made clear, is in
creased when the mucous membrane of
the digestive tract is broken at any
point, When the skin or mucous mem.
brance of any part OF the body is
broken, one is perhaps considerably
more liable to absorb germs Of all sorts.
At a recent session of the Academy of
Medicine of PARIS, NJ. Val!in, in con.
sidering the treatment of influenza,
recommended as Il preventative measure
of the greatest Importance, antiseptic
cleaning of the mouth, nose and throat.
Many people now use, as part of their
toilet, Il spraying atomizer containing
some harmless ''antiseptic" solution.
The practice is to be commended as a
cleanly one and in addition it has a
considerable germ-llilling power
Under some circumstances a frequent
spraying of the throat and nostrils with
such an apparatus might well be the
means of preventing infection from
disease like influenza and diptheria
1t is unnecessary to say that brush
ing the teeth is an excellent mode of
rendering the mouth antiseptic, and
that as decaying teeth furnish excel
lent lurlling-places for germs, they
should be promptly attended to.
A physician gives it as his belief,
based upon repeated observations, that
solution of boraX and salt in water
used to lave the mouth and tonsils will
sometimes prevent children in house
infected with diphtheria from contract
ing the disease Youths Companion.

Between SherifT-s Posse and Colored
Plantation Hands-Two CoIored Men
Killed and Several Mortally wounded.
CLARKsDALE, Miss, Oct. 3.-Sheriff
Harris, of this place, was notified early
Sunday morning by Deputy Fitzgerald,
of F'riar's Point, to at once organize an
armed posse and proceed to the planta-
ton of Mr.. j. X. Wilkinson, large
planter, west of Bobs, a small station
eight miles south of this place, to put
down an insurrection among the colored
people in that locality against the
whites
Sheriff Harris promptly complied,
and in short time had an armed posse,
consisting of twenty-seven men from
this place and Friar's Point, moving to
the scene.
Authentic information has just been
received that two colored men were
killed outright and nine captured, and
are now on the way to Friar's Point
heavily guarded.
In addition to the two men killed, sew
eral are said to be mortally wounded.
The blacks took to the brush and are
still out, all armed. None of the whites
are reported hurt.
From confessions made by some Of the
prisoners, it is learned that they have
organized an order among themselves,
comprising the whole neighborhood
with passwords and grips, with the
avowed purpose of killing the whites.
The greatest excitement prevails. The
colored men are thoroughly organized.
Mr.. Sessions, manager of the planta-
ton, was fred upon three times Satur-
day, but was not hurt. The town is
without telegraphic facilities and the
Wilkinson place somewhat in the inte-
rior, therefore news is somewhat scarce.
