Shot by whitecaps.

SPRINGFIELD, KY, Dec. 1.-TWO masked
men forced entrance into the house of
Thomas Edgington between II and o'clock
this morning and in the presence of his
wife and five children, shot him dead. Edg-
ington jumped out OF bed when he dis
covered the men in the room and was
grabbed by one of them while the other
put a bullet in his brain. Edgington had
been anonymously warned several times by
White Caps about abusing his family. 1t
is thought that the White Caps intention
was to give Edgington a severe thrashing,
but upon meeting with resistance they
killed him for fear of being recognized.

THE NEW DIPHTHERIA CURE.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-Of particular in
terest at this time is a report made to Sur
geon-general Wyman by DR.. ]. j. Kin
youn. the Marine Hospital surgeon. who. at
the invitatton OF Professor Roux, investi-
gated the methods employed at the Pasteur
Institute Paris. in the preparation or the
new cure for diphtheria- DR.. Kinyoun says
that after spending a month at the insti-
tute he had seen sufficient 10 enable him 10
form an intelligent estimate of the value
OF the discovery. There Is he says. still
more TO be said in its favor than was
claimed for 1t by Professor Roux in his
paper the subject before the interna-
tional congress of hygiene and demonogra-
ply held at Buda-Pesth in September. The
report gives In detail the steps necessary
in the preparation of the serum anti-toxine,
which include, first. the preparation Of the
toxines of diphtheria; second. the immuni-
zation of animals; third, preservation and
conservation OF the serum. The manner
OF producing Immunity in the animal, the
report says, should be performed In one
or two wayS-by Injections Of the toxines
or by fnoclations of the bacilli. The
former method has been found to be the
best. and at present is the only one in
use in the experiments of Professor Roux
and Dr. Martin. Animals Of all kinds are
used, but now they use the horse, as II
has been found to be the most satisfactory
II stands the process of immunization bet
ter and gives serum stronger than any
other large animal in the same length OF
time. besides furnishing a larger amount
of serum. OF the whole number OF cases
which came under DR.. Kinyoun's observa-
ton teighty-two) about per cent. died. The
statistics show that there has been a grad
ual diminution of mortality since last May.
The report, continuing says: The eff
cacy of the serum IL better shown In les
sening the cases where trachectomy Is re-
quired. The mortality under the usual
conditions OF diphtheria has, from 1890 10
1884, been some hing frightful TO contem-
plate, fully IS per cent. of the little pa
tients having succumbed. Since the COM
mencement OF serum treatment the death
rate has been lowered TO less than 47 per
cent. and the cases upon which tracheot-
omy must be performed fewer and
fewer. Diphtheria paralysis is rare, pneu-
monias are less frequent, and, although al
bumnaria exists in nearly every case of
several days duration, fatal cases of nephri-
It's are gradually becoming less frequent. 1t
is now possible TO immunize the reagents to
disease. Unfortunately. the immunity is
not OF hong duration. The length of time
in which it is thought to be protective is
six weeks. The future possibilities in this
condition cannot be overestimated, as We
have in the serum the almost absolute
preventive of epidemics of diphtheria''
