MEMPHIS. TENN. July 23.-United
States Senator Sullivan. Of Mississippi,
together with couple of friends and
former clients. one OF them railroad
switchman, have been in town for two
or three days past, seeking the blood
of Editor NJ. ". Connolly, of the Com
merciai Appeal. In an analysis OF the
vote on Hawaiian annexation and the
causes behind Alabama and Mississippi
senators voting for it, Connolly stated
that "Senator Sullivan did so because
Senator Money did, Four days later
Sullivan wired an inquiry as to 1.-THE
author Of that lie about me-" In as.
suming responsibility for the editorial,
to which the senator was presumably
referring, Connolly concluded by de-
claring that it was a matter to be set
tied at close range. Sullivan came up
Thursday evening, and last night sent
note to the editor that he was here,
and would be Frequently on Main
street, near the hotel" Mr.. Connolly,
in reply, emphasized his opinion OF the
senator in pursuance OF the logic OF his
editorial on Sullivan's wired inquiry.
The senator kept close to his hotel all
day, and a sort of martial law prevail
ed about the hotel and the vicinity.
| This afternoon both were taken before
IA police magistrate and placed under
bonds OF s.. 800 each to keep the peace.
Sullivan left town shortly afterward'
returning to his home at Oxford. The
two did not meet, except before the
magistrate. when the senator content

VICTORY OVER THE AIR.
Discovery of Elements That Have Evaded
Analysis.

1t is within scarcely more than a
week that men Of science themselves
have appreciated the value of the new
key to some of natures mysteries
which has recently come into their
hands, writes the New York Suns
London correspondent. Prof. Ram
says wonderful discoveries, still in
complete, of unknown constituents of
the atmosphere, were all made pos
sible by the low temperature investi-
cations carried on within the past
three or four years by Prof. Dewar,
Lord Rayleigh, Prof. Ramsay himself
and other men of science. The lique-
faction Of oxygen, nitrogen, air, and
finally hydrogen, makes practically
possible the production of a degree Of
cold so disintegrating in its effects upon
all gaseous elements that several mar
velous secrets in chemistry and physics
have already been revealed, and the
possibility, even the probability, exists
that the new field of knowledge will
yield many more discoveries Of great
practical value.
The principal features of Prof. Ram
says discovery, made within tie past
week, is that the atmosphere contains
, at least two more elements than had
been known or suspected. The air we
breathe is by no means the simple mix
ture Of oxygen and nitrogen with a
| little carbonic acid which science until
within very recent years declared it tt
be. According to the laboratory reve-
lations made within the past few days
we must add. to the invisible mixture
not >nly <rgon, whose ~"escncf
was first detected only three years ago
and crypton, a discovery of last month
but two more supposedly primary ele'
merits, named by their discoverer, neor
and metargOn, respectively.

The haste in which the Southern
soldier volunteered his services for the
war with Spain may probably develop
into large amount OF waste, except
for the honor and satisfaction of the
opportunity afforded to prove his
courageous patriotism. Thus far it has
been the Northern soldier who has
reaped all the glory of the fight, and
it is the men from north Of the Ohio
who have been sent as reinforcements
to Shafter. The Southern regiments
certainly have reason to expect a fair
shake from the war department.-Me'

vaults are in every house and occupy
whatever remaining space there may
be in the patios not taken up by the
cisterns. The risk Of communicating
the water is great, and in dry seasons
the supply is entirely exhausted Epi-
denies are frequent, AMI the town is
alive with vermin roa,llcotS aud

The streets are wider than in the
older part Of Havana and will admit
two carriages abreast. The sidewalks
are narrow. and in places will accom-
modate only one person. Tho pave

but easily broken and unfit for heavy
traffic.
Tho streets are swept once day by
hand. and. strange to say, are kept
clean. From its Typographical situa-
ton the town should be healthy. but it
is not. The soil under the city is clay
mixed with lime. so harl as to be al
most like rock. It IS snQucntly Y i'm
pervious to water and furnishes q
good natural drainage. The trade
wind blows strong ana fresh. and
through the harbor runs stream Of
sea water Of not less than three miles
an hour. With these conditions no
contagious diseases, if properly taken
care Of, could exist: without them the
place would be veritablc plague spot.
Besides the town within the walls,
there are small portions just outside,
called the Marina and Puerta de
TERRA, containing 1000 or 1900 inhab-
itants each. There are also two sub
urbs, one. San Turce, approached by
the only road leading out Of the city,
and the other, Catano, across the bay,
reached by ferry. The Marina and the
two suburbs are situated on sandy
points or spits, and the latter are sur.
rounded by mangrove swamps. The
entire population Of the city and sub
urbs, according to the census Of 1887,
was $1,000. It Is now estimated at 3o,-
900. One-half of the population con

the cost about $40, the price that it is pro-

rapidly as possible. Subscription cards
pledging the subscriber to pay $40 for a
membership card, to date from the compile
ton of the work, have been circulated. They
are transferable and a number of men have
taken cards expecting to turn them over to
some worthy young men. Half of the sub

the work and half after it is completed. The

been undertaken largely on the faith of the
directors in the work and the support it will

OLD CHARTER CONCERN
RECEIVER FOR CITIZENS INsUR-
ANCE COMPANY OF EVANSVILLE.
Inability to Collect Assessments on
StOck-The Headquarters
in This City.

The Citizens Insurance Company. of Ev-
ansville. one of the oldest institutions TAX
ing fire risks in the State. went into the
hands of a receiver yesterday. The applica-
ton for receiver was made in the Marion
Superior Court by Attorney H. H. Latta,
who represents James T. Layman and
Louis Ellis. the plaintiffs. The receivership
was created by Judge Harvey, of Room l.,
Superior Court, who appointed the Marion
Trust Company to take charge of the COM
pany's business.
The complaint on which the receivership
is based alleged that the company has no
money with which to pay losses and that
unless receiver was appointed, the COM
pany's property would probably be levied
on to satisfy claims. 1t is understood there
are claims aggregating $4,000 against the
company.
The present officers of the concern are
James o. Parker, president; F. w. Cook,
vice president; A. W. Emery, treasurer
and William Downey, secretary. The COM
pany was organized under a special charter
in 1882. For several years the main office
of the company was at Evansville, but for
the last five years the concern has been
transacting the bulk of IT'S business in this
city. The office is at No, q South Meridian
street. Greensburg was at one time the
company's headquarters, When the concern
was first Incorporated, It's capital stock was
to be 100000. The stockholders paid in 10
per cent. cash and gave stock notes for the
remaining 80 per cent. Much of this indebt-
edness was never collected. In the last few
years assessments have been made on the
stockholders. but the officers have not been
successful in collecting all Of these assess
ments, many of the stockholders refusing
to pay. All the officers of the, company were
willing that a receiver Should be appointed
They say that all claims win be paid in full.

plaintiffs, are directors. of the company.

MILWAUKEE,. Wis, Aug. 1.-THE cham
pions won their first game here this season
to-day defeating the Milwaukees in a
twelve-inning contest by timely batting in
the last inning, when McFarlands triple
and Nichols long fly to Weaver sent in
the winning run. For ten innings neither
side scored a tally, Rettger and Foreman
simply being invincible. In the eleventh and
twelfth the Hoosiers landed hard on the
Brewers pitcher. In the final inning the
locals were as lacking in stick work as
the Spaniards in gunnery, Lewee and Rett
ger striking out. More brilliant fielding and
perfect team work has never been witnessed
on the diamond, and the errorless support
given Rettger was worth going miles to see.
Lewee, Daily and Shoch made phenomenal
stops and throws. Only two errors were
charged against the visitors. and they were
made by Captain Allen, but did not affect
the result and he said Stewart helped to put
the locals out of the game The magnificent
pitching of Rettger and Foreman elected
shouts of approval from the 1000 people
present.
In the eleventh inning Allen opened with
a single, which Foreman and Hogriever
duplicated and Allen recorded the first
tally Foreman was caught at the plate
when Stewart hit to Rettger, and Hogriev-
er was nipped at third when Stewart drew
throw to second by an attempt to steal,
