- From Our Regular Correspondent
+ The case of diphtheria in the village
recently mentioned by the writer, was
that of Nellie Anderson, daughter of
; John Fl. Anderson, who, after five days
of great suffering, passed away. The
disease was of the malignant type, and
the afflicted family were obliged to see
their loved one hurried away to her
grave without the consultations of the
ordinary funeral services. She was 16
years of age.
Mrs. Fanny Pray, wife of VIM. Pray of
Maiden, Mass, who spends the summer
season in their fine residence in Lyman,
was bitten in the wrist by her poodle
dog about two months ago, and though
the wound was quite painful, for awhile
it improved so that no trouble was ap-
pretended therefrom; but recently the
effects of the bite have assumed an
alarming aspect. and she has gone to
New York for treatment, accompanied
by her husband and family physician.
The revival meetings in the Free Bap-
fist church in Lyman, are continued with
encouraging interest.
Mr.. Reuel W. Kicker has an apple tree,
each half of which bears every alternate

Louisiana Democrats VIII Run
but One Ticket.
The Two Rival Factions Come
to an Agreement.

They Decide That Primary Election
Shall BE Held by the White Demo-
Gratis, and That the Ticket Receiving
the Largest Number of Votes Shall Be
Declared the Regular Ticket
New ORLEANS, Feb 22.-The confer
ence committees, representing the two
factions of the Louisiana Democracy,
came to an agreement Friday night, by
which the two tickets Sor state officers
nominated in Baton Rouge, in December
last, shall be submitted to vote of the
white Democrats of the state, cast at
primary election, the ticket receiving the
largest number of votes to be declared
the regular Democratic ticket, and voted
as such at the general election in April
next, and the other to be withdrawn.
This proposition virtually originated
with the Foster faction. 1t has already
been accepted and ratified by the Nc
Emery faction, but the Foster faction
will not declare its position upon it until
later on. The agreement also provides
for the selection of state central COM
mittee to supersede the rival bodies
which are now in existence. The con-
ference committees will meet again, and
it is regarded as certain that the PROPOSE
tion will be ratified. The date of the
primaries will be set far enough off to
give both parties an opportunity of max

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-The worlds
fair special, comprising five of the most
magnificently equipped and luxuriously
furnished trains ever put on the road by

ASTOUNDING DISCOVERY.
Three Naked Children Found Locked In a
Cold Room without Food.

Cold Room Without Food.
New YORK, Feb. 22.-Dr. Schultz, of
the Presbyterian hospital staff, made an
astounding discovery in an East Side
tenement Friday night. He had been
called to the tenement, 356 East Ninety
eighth street, to attend a young girl who
had been severely beaten by her father.
HIS prospective patient lived ON the
fifth floor, and while the doctor was
passing through the hallway on that
floor he heard moaning. The sounds
seemed to issue from a room next to
that to which he was going. After at
tending to the injured girl, the
doctor investigated the matter. He
burst open the door from which the
sounds came, and pitiful sight met his
gaze.
Leaning against a stove, which had
apparently been innocent of fire for
many days, he saw babe not more
than ten months old, without stitch of
clothing upon its emaciated body. Its
eyes were half closed, and it was moan
ing with pain.
A few feet away another naked child,
boy less than two years of age, lay Oh
the floor unconscious. Crouched in
corner, nOu 1df lIOIll ul6 ndll uOOT, WAS
a negro boy about eight years old, de-
void of clothing, like his companion in
misery and close by his side, as if to
keep the warmth in his wretched body,
was large rlastiff, who feebly wagged
his tail as the doctor entered.
The surgeon questioned the negro, the
only one of the children old enough to
talk. but the little fellow was so weak
that he could hardly gasp out dozen
words.
From what he did say, however, was
learned that the three children and the
dog had been locked up without food
since Monday night.
The boy said that a man had taken
them to the room where they were
found, stripped them of all their clothing
and locked the door upon them. The
children We're turned over to the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children, which will investigate the
matter.
The whole affair is shrouded in mys-
terry, as the tenants of the house in
which the children We're found say they
know nothing of the case and were not
aware that the children We're in the
room where they were found. The
white children found, from their APP
pearance, seemed to be of Italian parent
age.

Frances Ship of State Not Wreck.
Views of French Editors.
PARIS, Feb. 22.-The Republique
Franoais, in its comment on the resigna-
ton of the ministry, says that the mem
bers of the party of the Left are guilty
of more than blunder. The surprise
of the country, it adds, will be sur
passed by the general feeling of dissatis-
faction.
The Radical considers that it is i'm
possible to draw conclusion from the
succession of contradictory votes.
The Evenement does not believe that
President Carnot will accept the resig-
nation of the ministers, as none of Fri
days votes embodied new policy.
The Steele says: The country will re-
gret that the cabinet which has shown
competency in every branch of national
enterprise should be overthrown on q
question in which public opinion is not
Immediately concerned.
The Figaro declares that the country
is condemned to undergo new minis
terial combination without unity or
principle for its guidance. The new
combination, it says, will be no better
than the present ministry.
M Paul de Cassagnac's paper, L'Au-
torite, prides itself upon the part it took
in the defeat of the government. 1t
congratulates the members of the Right
upon their action.
The other papers express the belief
that the ministry will be patched up or
the chambers dissolved. Leading men
in public life incline to the opinion that
the former course will be followed.

CURED BY PRAYER.
A Young Lady Who Was Pronouced In
Curable by Her Physicians.


SAVANNAH, Feb. 22.-Eighteen months
ago Miss Emma Evans was thrown
from carriage while driving near
Perry's mill in Tattnall county. Two of
her ribs were broken and her spine was
SO badly injured that the doctors pro-
nounced her case incurable. From
then until Friday she had never walked
a step and at times suffered great pain
and frightful nervous attacks.
Some months ago she was brought to
Savannah by her brother-in-law, in the
hope that the physicians here might be
able to do her some good. Several ex-
perts were called in, but they decided
thatmedical science could do nothing
except to alleviate her suffering, and
that she would never be able to use her
lower limbs.
Saturday Miss Evans, who has all her
life been very devout, was silently pray
ing that her health might be restored,
when a strange sensation came over her,
coupled with the idea that her prayer
had been granted. So strong was her
faith that she essayed to rise and, find
ing herself able to do so, walked about
the room to the amazement of her rela-
tives. The case is one of the most re-
markable on record and has caused
great deal of interest

BERLIN, Feb. 22.-The kaiser having

that all the public may know who the
intending emigrants are, and their place
of destination. Agents are forbidden to
forward emigrants unless under writ

FRAUD CHARGED.
Sensational Suit Against the Cincinnati,
Hamilton and DAYTON Road

Hamilton and Dayton Road.
DAYTON, O.. Feb. 22.-In the COM
mon pleas court here Saturday Charles
N. King, of New York. brought suit
against the Cincinnati, Hamilton and
Dayton, the Cincinnati, Dayton and
Ironton, the Cincinnati, Dayton and
Chicago Railroad companies, G. w.
Fairbanks, Alfred Sully, Henry w.
Schumacher and others, to declare the
property and franchises now held by the
Cincinnati, Dayton and Ironton and the
Cincinnati, Dayton and Chicago COM
panies to be held i'll trust for the Day
ton, Fort Wayne and Chicago
company, and praying that the
mortgage executed by the Gin
cinnati, Dayton and Ironton company
to the Central Trust company, of
New York, be Cancelled, and that the
lease to the Cincinnati, Hamilton and
Dayton company be Cancelled; also, for
the appointment of receiver. The liti-
cation grows out of the recent settling
up of the aft 1irs of the old Dayton, Fort
Wayne and Chicago road, and its sale to
the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton
people.
The grounds of the suit, briefly stated,
is that the sale was illegal and it is
now sought to be set aside. Conspiracy
and fraud are freely alleged. The suit
involves the title to the railroads men,
toned and the deals with the transac-
tions of Henry S. Ives & Company, and
is rather sensational in character.
Gunckel q Rowe of Dayton; Harmon,
Colston, Goldsmith & Hoadly, of Gin
cinnati, and Bar & Decker, of New
York city, are the attorneys for the
plaintiff.

PARIS, Feb. 22.-The Catholic news
papers here publish an encyclical letter
from the pope addressed to the clergy.
The pope declares that any form of goy-
ernment is good provided it tends to
further the public welfare, and that it is
therefore the duty of all to accept the
legally established government and not
attempt to change its form. But it is
necessary, he says, to distinguish be-
tween established powers and legisla-
ton. The former must be obeyed, but
legislation hostile to the religion of God
can not be approved. The pope con-
cludes by expressing himself in favor of
the maintenance of the concordat, and
urging the union of all Frenchmen for
the development of the greatness of

LEGALLY MARRIED
After Living Under Delusion for
Twenty-Five Years.

SEYMOUR, Ind, Feb. 22.-On April
20, 1868, George Futrel and Minerva
Harrell were married. After four years
Futrel left his wife and two children,
and was not heard from for many years,
and his wife, supposing him dead, on
Feb. 16, 1870, was married to Elijah L.
Easton, of Carr township. this county,
with whom she has since lived, and has
six children by this union. A few
months ago she learned to her great sur
prise and horror that Futrel was alive,
and also married again, whereupon she
sued for divorce from him. The de-
cree was granted at the last term Of
court, and within the past week new
marriage license was taken out, and
Elijah L. Easton and Miss Minerva Har-
