Michael Ternan, who for the past
ten years has puzzled the medical fra
ternity, died at Elmira Tuesday, Feb.
s. Mr.. Fernan was for many years
resident of the Tunnel, two miles north
of this place. In 1883 Mr.. Ternan failed
TO awaken from his usual slumber and
fer nearly ten years he has slept con-
stantly with the exception of on two
different occasions when he was awake
for short time. During this long term
of sleep he only partook of such nour-
ishment as was placed in his mouth
by his faithful wife and family. A
few years ago the family moved to FL
mira where Mrs. FernGn died four years
ago. Mr.. Fernan was visited by the
most expert medical scientists from
far and near, but all were bafIled as to
the real cause of his continuous sleep.

THE MARKETS.
Wall street Review.

New York, Feb. 1.-THE weakness Of
stocks pronounced today and permeat-
ed every department of the market.
The decline was quite uniform in the
general list and a few of the high
speculative specialties broke severe
ly. There was little support and prices
went off easily and rapidly, pronounced
dullness following every symptom Of
recovery. Few of the active stocks
escaped net losses of a point or more.
Much was said of the Cuban question
during the day but there was no spec
ific development that offered a new
motive for the selling. The bears took
advantage of the over-bought condi-
ton of the market and the rather
long-sustained effort to support prices
to make an aggressive raid. The stock
dislodged by uncovered margins in
duced quite a heavy liquidation. The
bears had no difficulty in covering at
the decline without any marked rally
in prices. The total sales were 1900
shares.

sis of the Canadian Tax Report.

VANCOUVER, B. c., July 19.-The
Bank OF British North America at
Dawson, the pioneer Klondike bank,
has sent an official report of the sea-
sons cleanup, giving the figures of the
inspector of mines representing the
Canadian Government.
The cleanup is placed at $1,000, 600,
the Canadian Government having col
lected roy yalties on 81 ,0CO, 900, or S4O0,
600 in cash, the royalty being 10 per
cent. There is the Government tax on
S3 600, 900 yet to be collected.
The cleanup would have exceeded
$40, 900, 900 if it had not been for the
threatened famine at Dawson, which
caused a stampede for Circle City, 50
that there were not enough miners to
work some of the claims.
Bonanza Creek is reported as dis
appointing, and there are said to be
only ten claims of consequence on it.
Eldorado is the richest creek and Do
minion second. Eldorado contains
the richest diggings in the world.
Benches on French Greek are very
profitable.
There are now $4,000 people at Daw-
son, and there will soon be 5O,O 900.
Living is terribly high still. A log
cabin rents for 81 900 a month, and
meat sells for Sl.50 pound. A com
paratively small amount of gold will
come out of the country next season,
perhaps five millions, according to
this report.

BOUND OVER TO COURT.
The Administrators on the Estate of
CoIored Man.

Some months ago f. N. Keith, of
Greensboro, who was a resident of
Winston several years agos was ap-
pointed administrator on the estate of
a negro man who was killed in Green's
boro by Southern train. The road
agreed to pay s1OO and settle it, which
was agreed to, and Mr.. Keith was
made administrator for the purpose of
winding it up legally.
On July Is, however, a warrant for
embezzlement was served on Keith
and the case was heard before Justice
Eckel. The wife, it is stated, charged
that Keith received $135, but accounted
for only 800, and that this amount
he has not yet turned over.
For defence Keith said he saw that
there would be some expense attached
| to the matter and he told the road he
| should have more in order to be able
| to pay his widow the amount agreed
upon, whereupon he was paid Sl35, ter
OF this to go as attorneys fees.
| After a long trial and much speech
making, Justice Eckel decided there
was ground for jury to work on and
he sent it to court

AFFAIRS At SANTIAGO
THE CITY TO BE GIVEN THOROUGH
CLEANING.
Provisions Are Scarce and High,
None Having Reached There Since
Surrender-The Red Cross So
cfety Doing Much Good

SANTIAGO. July 23.-General Tora1
has notified his troops that on the 24th,
in accordance with the terms of sur
render, the first division of the Span
ish army leaves for Spain. The Span
ish trans Atlantic line. which secured
the contract for Transporting the
troops, has notified Toral that the
ships in the West Indian waters will be
sent to Santiago promptly. 1t is not
expected however that any of the ships
will arrive tomorrow.
Orders have been issued directing a
thorough cleaning of the city of San
tiago. No provisions have yet reach
ed the port. There is great scarcity
with prices pretty high. The Red
Cross Society is doing much good
among the suffering classes. In ac-
cord ance with instructions from Wash
ington, only a minimum tariff will be
imposed. 1t is believed food will be
cheaper than ever in Santiago soon as
commerce is restored. General Miles,
prior to his departure for Porto Rico,
sent message to Garcia asking for
fifty Cubans as guides during the
campaign. Garcia had left, as the re-
suit of his disagreement with Shafter.
General Miles sent a message by a
special messenger to hunt Garcia up.
The result Is not known.
