Petrifed During Life.

MONTEREY, CAL, May 6-The death in this
city of William Libbets ended case which is
scarcely with parallel in medical history.
The deceased was a sufferer from dropsy, but
the peculiarly is that he was in a state of par
tial petrifcation. His body was as rigid as a
stone. the pricking of needle made 10 in
dentaton in the flesh, and all the powers of
sensation had disappeared Mr.. Libbets was
taken To the German Hospital in San Fran
cisco. and the physicians made close exami-
nation. and held many consultations to dis
cover the identity of the strange ailment
They finally pronounced ii case of myxode-
dema. In this disease the organs of the body
partially disappear or ossifv, causing a condi
lion similar to petrifcation.
No relief could be given to the sufferer, and
two weeks ago he was brought home to die.
The end came Yesterday.
A post morton examination made and
il was found that the only organs intact were
the kidneys. The deceased was pioneer
resident of this city, and siXtysiN years of age.

Something wOeNuIly Out of Gear

The Philadelphia Times says The Ten
nessee Coal and Iron Company tempts tate
ia sending an agent TO Europe with a ship
menf Of Alabama pig iron, TO be sold ia Bar
cel0na, Cartagena, Genoa. Antwerp and other
manufacturing centres. This corporation.
along with many Others. has been repeatedly
told that American industries cannot take
care Of themselves at home. aud to attempt to
take care things abroad By entering into open
competition in foreign markets Is n very dar-
ing proceeding. And il Is likewise exhilarat-
ing IN that it shows spirit 10 send abroad the
home surplus and dispose Of pig-iron bars on
the Continent just as carpets and wooden fab
ries have been disposed ofin England. Tariff
does not appear 20 enter into this proceeding
either, as Alabama pig iron Is now quoted at
50 ton delivered North. while Pittsburg can
do no better than $751; so aud Youngstown a
dollar higher. There is something wOefully
out Of gear with the multitude Of high prutec.
tive tariff claims when all this happens. and
il appears to be happening right along.

In MARYLAND, as in Delaware, were the Gov
ernor to die. the President ofthe Senate would
succeed 10 the gubernatOrial chair. Senator
John Walter Smith, of Worcester county, is
president of the Maryland Senate, and were
Governor Brown to die or 10 resign, the Wor-
cester county statesman would become his
successor as the States Chief Executive until
the next regular election after the vacancy by
death or resignation occurred.-C heStert0tcR
Transcript
Senator John Walter Smiths chance of
reaching the gubernatorial chair by this route
is verv slim. Gov Brown is surely not going
to resign, and, Judging from his robust ap-
pearanee, he will likely live to be centena-
rian. The Senator's chance of being Cover
nor is even more remote, Notwithstanding the
fact that he would make an excellent one.
Governor Brown is not going TO resign or die,
but viii likely be Governor until January,
1900. Candidates actively seeking the Demo-
cratic nomination are liable to so divide the
delegates to the State Convention that no one
will have majority. All of them, too, are
classed as either for or against what are termed
the managers, and the demand of the times
is for an Independent mana man VINO is
against no one, who is not a factionist, who
will unite. not divide the party. Many Demo-
Gratis think Gov Brown best fills the demand,
and believe the party viii turn to him when
the convention meets.
The Democrats of Maryland desire TO win
at the next election. Many of them have
personal preferences. Hayes, Rayner, Jones,
Smith. Judge Robinson, Judge Fisher and
Senator Hubner all have warm friends. But
as rule no man is first, last and all the
time supporter of any aspirant. Names and
locality are not cutting any special figure.
The great mass of Democrats want the strong
est man nominated-a man who will lend
strength to the ticket.
The contest this fall viii be the skirmish
preliminary TO the great Presidential battle
next year. and the Democrats mnst be careful
to make no mistakes.

A Great Movement.

The Atlanta Constitution says: The rush
10 the West bids fair to be equaled in the
next few years by the great movement 81
population southwark When the Chicago
Tribune a few days ago published an article
describing Southern condition in this region
The chairman Of the Merchants and Manufac-
turers Association Of Council Bluffs, Ia,
wrote TO the editor protesting against the pub
LEGATION OF such matter on the ground that IT
would injure the West. In reply the Chicago
paper stated that it had simply given the news,
without advising the Western farmers IN the
matter. IF our farmers think that they can dc
better by going South, says the Tribune. they
will unauestionably do so. Close observers
of the situation predict the largest interstate
movement of population that has occurred
since the exodus westward from 1870 to 1850
and il will come to the best advertised and
mosl inviting Southern localities.
