denly Regnins His Health and Sight.
CHICAGO, Jan. 7.-Charles L. Ream,
who came to Chicago from Pittsburg
about year ago, has had an experience
which borders on the miraculous. He
became paralyzed in June, just as he
was preparing to return to his old home.
His limbs were twisted out of shape, his
neck was turned awry, he became totally
helpless from disease, and was for period
stone blind. But this was not all. At one
time animation seemed entirely sus-
pended, he was pronounced dead and
preparations were made for his burial.
Today Ream is able to walk the streets
of Chicago, apparently as well as ever.
The only noticeable changes are that his
eyes are little weak, and he is obliged
to wear glasses when he reads. His re-
covery is due to the efforts of his friend,
Professor Carl Yorra, an artist living in
the same house. Professor Yorra volun-
teered his services out Of compassion, af-
ter doctors had given up the patient.
He subjected Ream to a course of treat
ment which he designated common
sense treatment, namely, hot air baths
and alkali powders; the former produce
perspiration, while the latter neutralize
aCidity of the blood.
Thursday night the professor was read
ing to his patient when Ream suddenly
exclaimed: RI can use my right arm.
He Strengthened it, and moment later
cried out: My sight has come back. 1t
was indeed true, and the unfortunate
young man found all his lost powers re-
stored

SENATORS
Devote a Day Discussing I'M

TALK0F CLOSING THE GATES
dr. Chandler Advocates Stopping All
stoerage Traffic for oae Year

ChoIera an Imminent Dnngor-He says It
would BE Cowurdly to Lay the Respous-
ibility Oh the President - Flippancy
Deprecated 90 Pension bills In the
House Other Washington News.
WASHINGTON, Jan 7.-Yesterday's
session of the senate was given up ex-
clusively to the discussion of the bill on
, the subject of quarantine regulations
and its co.relative measure-the bill to
suspend immigration for one year. Mr..
Chandler, Republican, of New Hamp-
shire, spoke for about three hours, devot-
ing most of his argument to the last
mentioned bill, although the other was
really the one that was up for discussion.
To this latter, however an amendment
was pending to authorize the president
to issue proclamation suspending i'm
migration from countries where cholera
may be prevailing.
Mr.. Chandler treated this proposition
as an act of cowardice on the part OF
congress in imposing responsibility upon
the president instead Of taking that re-
sponsibility itself. He was assured by
Mr.. Frye, Republican, of Maine, that
the incoming president was not q mau
to shrink from responsibility, alluding
to Mr.. Cleveland's position on the sub
ject Of the New York senatorship. This
provoked laugh, and Mr., Chandler
DEPRECATED the Maine senator's bringing
his witicism into serious subject. He
went on, in the course Of his remarks, to
speak of the recent entertainment given
by the North German Lloyd Steamship
company to the Grid Iron club and
made some sarcastic allusions to the lib
erality Of that company to government
officials travelling in Europe, He advo-
Gates stopping all steerage traffic for one
year.
Arguments against the quarantine bill
were made by enators Mcpherson, Dem
ocrat, of New Jersey, and Platt, Republic
can, of Connecticut, Mills, Democrat, Of
Texas, Dolph, Republican, of Oregon.
Many amendments were offered, some
of which were agreed to, the others 60
ing over until today when the bill comes
up as the special order.

GAINESVILLE, o., Jan. 7.-Grace Will
son, who has settled with the heirs of
the late D. Edgar Grouse for 81 100000
was born near St. Clairsville, Belmont
county, o., 35 years ago. Her first hus-
band, Wilson, and one child dying, she
went upon the dramatic stage, where
she became fayorite with Grouse, and
they were married. His parents refused
to recognize her and the couple separated
at the end of two weeks, she going
to England at his expense. A child was
born. The mother got a divorce from
Grouse and married Siegbert Nosterlitz
a wealthy Australian. He is also dead,
leaving his wife child, for whom she
is endeavoring to get a big slice OF
money with the NOsterlitz heirs.

A DISASTROUS FAILURE.
An Ohio Fishing Firm Goes Under-Lia-

An Ohio Fishing Firm Goes Under-BiR-
bilities Estima ated at s25O,OOo.
SANDUsKY, Jan. THE most disas-
trous failure that has occurred in this
section of the state in many years has
been announced.
Wickham & Co., of Huron, this coun-
ty, one of the most extensive fishing
concerns, have gone to the wall with
liabilities approximating S250.000. The
announcement of their trouble has liter
ally paralyZed this community for the
time being, for, while the fisheries and
packing houses of the concern were To-
Gated at Huron, ten miles from here, it
was here that its banking business was
transacted, and it was virtually regarded
as a Sandusky house.
Although it now transpires that the
firm has been embarrassed for some
time past, the knowledge was carefully
concealed, and the first intimation Of
the condition of the affairs was when
John w. Wickam, Jr., the head of IL :
firm, offered for record preferences in
the form of mortgages aggregating $78.-
900, while a telegram from Cleveland
announces the fling of mortgages in
that county aggregating $150,000. The
mortgages are given in consideration Of
unpaid promissory notes dated from
1890 forward
Among the preferred creditors are
large number of Sandusky persons and
estates, ranging from $1,000 downward.
The local banks are all heavy holders Of
Wickham & Co. paper, but are amply
secured on every piece by Endorsement.
For number of years the fishing busi-
ness has been on the decline and the
season just closed was especially I'M
heavily for Toledo concern that is
badly involved,

Another Firm Goes to the Wall.

TOLEDO, Jan. I'D. Y. Howell & Son,
big fish dealers of this city, have failed
with liabilities placed at 800, 900 and as
sets at $1,000. They were the oldest
fish dealers in the city, having estab-
lished business in 1865. Among Mr..
Howell's indorsers were H. G. Post a.
Co., Sandusky, and Wickham 81 Co.,
Huron, who have failed for $3.50, 900
The failures have connection with each
other and the firms in indorsing each
others paper had arranged matters in
such way that the failure of one would
entail disaster to the other.
