THE FIGHT AROUND MEMPHIS.

Memphis, Tenn, Aug 3.-Oficial re-
turns of the election for this county show
the straight democratic ticket to have
gone through complete by maiorities
ranging from 9l7 10 4,725. The average
falls about POO short of the maiorities
secured by the democrats in the Presi-
Dental election Of 1892 In the other
counties of West Tennessee, nearly all of
which have been heard from, the demo-
Gratis have held their own barely.
In some counties the fusionists have
elected this county ticket. while the dem
ocratic nominees for the supreme bench
have received large majorities This is
the case in Obion county, where the dem
ocratic supreme court gets a majority of
500. This indicates that the populists
have sacrificed the republican supreme
court nominees in order to get in the pop
ulist candidates for local Offices
in Maury county, Middle Tennessee. in
cluding the city of Columbia. the demo
Gratis have made gain of 300, which off
sets the loss in Shelby.
Hon. William II. Carroll chairman of
the state democratic committee. TONIGHT
figures that the democratic supreme court
candidates get a majority of 10000, which
is 5000 greater than President Cleveland
received in 1892 The returns now in,
however, indicate a still greater majority.
and there is no possibility that returns
not yet received from isolated counties
could defeat the ticket.

that the senators who have cared for this
interest were consulted. and that they re
luctautly accepted the schedule as the
best that could be had and agreed that il
would not be antagonized
If this schedule is finally determined
upon tomorrow there is always the
possibility of change AT the last mo-
ment-it is quite probable that the
remainder Of, the bill may be speed
lily disposed of aud there is a
hope that the full conference may be
had Monday, and the report made to the
Senate early in the week The most of
the day was consumed in a consideration
Of the other schedules, and there is now
pretty clear understanding as TO what
shall be done with the rest of the bill
RUMoRs OF REJECTION.
II is said tonight that the Louisiana
Senators and Messrs Allen and Kyle
the latter representing the beet sugar in
dustry, will not accept the proposed
schedule. If this is true il is not appar-
ent how the democrats expect
to pass the bill. There is no pro-
vision in the schedule for the bounty for
1894, and both the Louisiana senators
have declared that unless this bounty is
put in the bill they cannot support it. II
is probable that by tomorrow night the
situation will have crystallized into some
thing tangible and that the outcome will
be known with some degree of definite

HOW GRAvITATION VARIES.
Probably Caused by Subterranean
Comm otionx

From the Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin
That changes involving the disnla csmant
OF immense masses are going on within the
eartn Is one OF the suggested explana tons
OF some observations recently announced in
france. IL has been found at the Pare St.
Maur Observatory that the force of CRAWL
tation, or the weight of bodies. underpoes
daily variations. These are rendered SEN
sible by placing in the earth a tube CON-
tanning column of mercury balanced by
the pressure or hydrogen contained in a
closed vessel connected with the tube. and
registering by means of photography and
alterations in the level of the mercury
After all corrections have been made for
the erect OF change of temperature IL ap-
pears certain that certain variations in the
level of the mercury are only to be explain
ed on the theory that they are due to
changes in gravitation. These variations
last from fifteen minutes to an hour They
are, of course, very small. amounting at q
maximum to only one-twentieth of milli-
meter, but they may imply very great dis
placements of matter in the interior of the
globe.
1t has been suggested that similar exper-
tments should be conducted in the neigh
Dorhood of active volcanoes where lioui-
fled rock is moving beneath the surface
and other disturbances of the strata of the
earth are taking place.
Such facts these present to the imag-
NATION a very formidable picture of the gil
gantic connections that accompany the
slow cooling and contraction of the globe
on whose hardened crust We rear our edi-
fees. wondering when some of them are &C.
casionally shaken down by earthquakes at
the instability of planet that is apparent
ly so solid.

His Proof YVES short.

Henry w. Yount, fish dealer in the
o street market, was in thu Police Court
this morning on a charge of selling I'M
sound fish. The prosecuting witness in the
case was w. Calvin Chase, editor of the
Bee, who charged that he purchased a
bunch of trout at the defendants stand
more than a week ago and when the fish
were delivered at his house he discovered
that they were unfit for use. Mr. Chase
was one of the food inspectors under the
health departing nt for three years and
he knew something of the character of
fish. He went back to the stand and de-
manded the return of his % cents. The
clerk said to him IN - - IL I'll give
you back the money"
The defendant denied that the fish were
unsound and said that Mr.. Chase was the
only man who made complaint about the
fish although he sold about 900 pounds of
them He said that Mr.. Chase wanted his
money back and said the return of 1t would
end the case. .... ..--
The clerk who sold the fish and the
colored man who cleaned them told the
court that the fish were fresh when they
were sent to MIR. Chase.
Judge Kimbali told the complainant that
his proof was short and acquitted the de-

Dispensing With Legal FOrmalities.

Second Controller Mansur recently re-
ceived a letter from the German consular
agent here. in which he stated that 1t had
come to his knowledge that a soldier in the
regular army of the United States had re-
Gently died intestate and that his only rela-
tives living were two brothers. who resided
in Westphalia, He stated further that there
was due the soldier at the time of his DEATH
for services in the army, about 81 300: and
in view of the fact that a strict compliance
with the regulations of the department
would involve much time and expense, he
requested that so far as possible these for
malities be dispensed with. Controller Man
sur investigated the case and found the
facts substantially stated by the, con-
sular agent. In view. of the exceptional cir
cumstances of the case. he has directed that
the regulation which requires letters OF adj
miuistration in all cases of this character
where the amount involved exceeds $500 be
dispensed with and that the money be paid
to the German ambassador here for trans
mission to the rightful heirs.

And Then Proceeded to Raise a Brood
of Little Ones.
Stories have often been told Of snakes and
frogs In human stomachs. An instance in
regard to the habits of amin ais which -
even more peculiar. because 1t Is, perhaps.
the first of its kind, came to light here
about week ago, when a man with a nest
Of cockroaches in the interior Of his skull
presented himself to DR.. Johnson at the
Emergency Hospital for treatment Cases
have often been noticed where bugs have
entered the ear and caused circulating pain
by eating the delicate membranes and It's
sues OF the inner ear before they could be
driven out. But this Is the first case where
roach was permitted to remain IN the ear
long enough to lay its eggs and hatch its
young.
George Woods who was the patient a
young man of about twenty, is employed on
an oyster boat. Like many other boats this
one was infested with big black cockroaches
One night while Woods was asleep a roach
crept into his ear and lodged itself just far
enough inside to be out of reach Woods
felt 1t there the next morning but being
unable TO poke 1t out with his finger he
permitted 1t to remain thinking her roach
ship would tire of her quarters and move
out But the roach, either because II got
In head first and could not turn around and
get out or because it found the accommo-
dations exceedingly comfortable instead of
getting out. proceeded to make its nest right
there in the mans ear. Finally it started to
tunnel through the head. As 1t afterward
was shown on investigation, the roach had
eaten Its way through the channel to the
tympanum and through the drum itself
mere, IL seems, 1t gave up its investigations
and from some cause or other died
When Woods found that he was deaf in
his right ear he thought he had better have
the matter looked into, so he took adyan-
tage Of his boat being in Washington to 20
to the hospital When DR.. johnson washed
out the ear. in addition to the body of the
oerunct roach, number of little reaches
and some eggs, which had failed to hatch
We're removed. These reaches probably are
the only ones to enjoy the distinction of
having been born in the Uranium of a living
man. o
