Poisoned by Bacteria.

Dubois. Pa. Aug. 1S.-Within the last
few days four deaths have occurred
among the Falls Creek tannery em-
ployees, two miles from this city. and
several others are reported very i'll.
Some time ago the tannery company re-
ceived the first invoice Of 100000
hides imported from China. The hides
were started through the process Of
tanning. and the liquor drained into the
creek. Not long afterward several head
Of cattle running at large died. and to
this date a score have gone to the bone
yard.
1t was discovered that the cattle
drank water from the creek. Some Of
the tannery employees were subse-
quently taken sick. and four have died
so far. Investigation revealed the fact
that the hides were infected with an
thrax bacteria. Only one man who has
been afflicted has recovered. The dis
ease proves fatal in five to eight days.
Considerable alarm exists at Fall
Creek over the fatal illness and possi-
bic spread of the disease. The matter
has been kept a secret as long as possi-
BILE, but it is understood that it has been
referred to the state board of health
and that an investigation viii be insti-

PRINCE HENRrs ADVERSARY.
He Is Count OF Turin, Prince Victor
Emmanuel of savoy-Aosts.

Paris, Aug. 13.-It is understood that
the very high Italian parsonage" who
claims the honor Of encountering Prince
Henri of Orleans is the Count Of Tu-
rim. Prince Victor Emmanuel, of the
house of Savoy-Aosta.
1t was intimated by Popolo Romano
on July 10 last that the Count of Tu-
rim had challenged Prince Henri to
duel after the latter had declined
challenge from Lieutenant PM, who
had been chosen by lot from among
the affronted Italian officers. But this
report was contradicted by The Figa-
ro's special correspondent in Rome a
day or two after who said there was no
foundation for the rumor, at least for
the moment.
Prince Victor Emmanuel was born at
Turin In 1870 and is the son of the late
Duke Of Aosta, nephew Of King Hum
bert, with the rank Of major in the
Italian cavalry.
His Intervention would bring about a
somewhat anomalous situation, for the
count, being the brother of the present

good an offer that if he could not prove
that Senator McLaurln had tried TO or
ganize a Populist party in South Caro-

WINGED from proof McLaurin had given
him that McLaurin largely prevented
Populist organization in South Carolina.
lie said he had done Senator McLau-
rim an injustice and would withdraw
from the race. Senator McLaurin shook
his hand and thanked him amid great
applause. Governor Evans said Sena-
tor McLaurin had invited him to go
into the Populist party with him, and
this led TO a heated discussion.
Senator McLaurin spoke with such
vehemence that he tainted on conclud-
ing. He was taken to his hotel, sad
the doctors insist on his resting for a
few days. Governor Evans and Sena-
tor McLaurin showed much feeling to-
ward each other.

Dcadwood Bankers Take State Rev
enue Warrants to the Amount of
$4,000 to Cover the Floating I'm

State Warrants.

Treasurer Kirk G. Phillips at Dcadwood
received S775, 900 in state venue warrants
Monday and placed them with the banks
of that city, the First National and the
American National each taking $50 500.
They will become due January l. i 1888, and
bear 3 per cent. interest. These warrants
were negotiated March IL, and were sent
from Pierre to Nermillion at once for the
governors signature, to lie forwarded then
to MIR. Phillips. They were delayed first by
snow blockades, and then by water and
washouts. MIR. Phillips received offers
from banking institutions of the Hills to
take S2S0,O00 of these warrants at the same
rate of interest.
This issue of warrants represents the
total floating debt OF South Dakota. War
rants TO the amount of 100000 will be due
on April I, but there is money in the treas
nry TO pay them. When it is considered
that Iowa has Il floating indebtedness of

South Dakota's debt of S75,0 900 appears in
