BODIES IN COLD SroRAGE.-The pc
lice of Louisville yesterday afternoon
found thirty bodies in cold storage in a
warehouse directly across an alley from
Wathen's ice cream factory on Eighth
street. The corpses were being kept
cold by pipes run under ground from the
ice cream factory. 1t was discovered
that the bodies had been stolen from
indianapolis, among them being that OF
relative of the late President Harrison.
The Louisville police went to work at
once, and after some difficulty forced
their way into the warehouse. Thirty
bodies were counted. The chief of police
of Indianapolis was quickly notified OF
the discovery, and he wired the authori-
ties of Louisville that he would go to
Louisville this morning, accompanied by
relatives of the dead persons and would
make an effort to identify the bodies.
Members of the faculties of the various
medical colleges at Louisville deny any
knowledge of the presence of the bodies.
The owners and attaches of the ice cream
factory refuse to talk, except to say that
the bodies were not stolen, and that
their presence will be accounted for in a
perfectly legal way.

typical of South Africa, at which can be

"needle to an anchor" This store is
situated in valley nine miles from the
nearest railway station and about twenty
five miles from the nearest town. Mr..
Larson says 81 am favored with the
custom of farmers within a radius OF
thirty miles, to many of whom have
supplied Chamberlain remedies. All
testify to their value in household
where doctors advice is almost out OF
the question. Within one mile Of my
store the population is perhaps sixty.
OF these, within the past twelve months,
no less than fourteen have been abso-

A TERRIBLE RECITAL.

DIR. William Lee Howard of Baltimore
has returned to his home after an absence
of five months, part Of which was spent
on the coast of Newfoundland, and tells
graphic story Of the hardships endured
by fishmen there. DR.. Howard said:
'I have learned this summer of one Of
the hardest medical practices in the
world. 1t is the work OF the little hospi-
tai ship Starthcona. The storms along
the dreary stretch of coast from st,
Johns n. F., to Cape Childey, at the
opening into the Hudson strait, toss this
little steamer about like a cork as she
makes her two months trip, bringing
hope and cure to the men and few
women who are driven by need to fish
on these bleak and inhosbitable shores.
This barren land is inhabited by nearly
1000 persons while from 1000 to
25, 600 persons, sail to it every year in
June and July to fish for cod. Yet
there is not a single physician or surgeon
to be found in all its thousand miles.
That is, there were no doctors until the
Royal National Mission to- Deep-Sea Fish
ermens sent little sailing vessel-the
Albert-there under DIR. Wilfred Gren-
fell This first visit to the unfortunate
fishermen discovered suffering and
horror beyond the ken of the average
man. Wounds no matter how severe
were treated by squirting tobacco juice
into them and binding tightly with an
old rag. They found one man whose
little child had both feet frozen. There
was nothing in the whole settlement
with which to help her, and before long
both feet began to exhibit gangrene,
and when the Albert returned to st.
Johns she carried back the story of
how the father had been forced at last,
being in utter despair and knowing
that it was the only hope of saving the
child from death of torture, to take a
hatchet and cut off the little ones feet.
What plights the fishermen may find
themselves in is shown by the case
of one Oliver, who, with his wife
and five children, had just man.
aged to exist through the winter,
finding himself utterly destitute
when spring came. He had no dogs
left to travel with and no ammunition to
hunt. All that he possessed in the
world was an old jackplane and trout
net. He travelled for many miles over
snow and ice afoot till he reached the
house of Norwegian settler. He begged
him to let them have some food, but the
settler, good-hearted man, was unable
to give up any. The next settler, too,
said that he would have to starve him
self if he shared what little he had. This
was not selfshness, but Stern necessity.
The poor fatherwent on l2miles farther,
faint with hunger, butspurred on by the
thought of the starving ones at home.
Again he received the same reply. All
were as destitute as he was himself. He
dragged his way home again, sent his
wife and two older children away, and
then killed all the rest with an axe, after
which he blew his own brains out with
the last charge left in his gun. This is
the misery that the little Strathcona is
helping to relieve every summer.

SOLD BIBLES AND STOLE HORSES
A man whom the dispatches describe as
mild-mannered and soft of tongue has
been playing a most remarkable game
on the unsophisticated farmers of Penn
sylvania. This wicked person sold
Bibles by day and stole horses by night
Such a combination was never known
before in the Keystone State. This man
had the Scriptures at his tongues end.
He quoted literally from the prophets
when selling horses which he had taken
from the stables of some unsuspecting
granger. Some of those who had bought
Bibles from him were amazed, as they
testified in the magistrates court that
'such a Christian-appearing man" was
an accomplished horse thief. This pur-
loiner of other mems horses was, it is
stated, can exemplary Bible-class teach
er." He not only sold the Scriptures,
bat expounded and interpreted them as
we'll Young women, who had sat at
the feet of this Gamaliel, gave him tie
highest sort of character when he Of
fered his stolen goods for sale. Enter
prising papas, who would have dis
trusted amy other horse dealer, asked o
questions when their daughters told
them that this particular dealer was an
expert in the Scriptures. They paid
the money and rejoiced that they had
the privilege of meeting a Bible scholar
who sold fine horses at half their value.
Now there is mourning among the farm
ers. They are short of cash and have
been compelled to return to their right
full owners the horses which the pious
Bible student let them have alta bargain.
What shall be done with horse thief
who masquerades in the garb of an ex-
FOUNDER of the ScriptureY If his pun
ishment fits his crime, he will have
abundant leisure in the future to study
the Coed Book and to regret that he did
not practice those precepts which he ex-
pounded so glibly for the instruction OF
devout Pennsylvania lasses.- baltimore

Factors Say 1t Is on Account of Rail-
road Rates.
The naval store factors of Savannah
are being drawn by a strong current
in the direction of Fernandina, and
may land there unless the railroads
make freight rate concessions on naval
stores from Florida points to Savan-
nah.
Instead of shipping their stuff to
Savannah it is stated that Florida OPP
orators are shipping to Fernandipa be-
cause of the fact they can obtain Sa-
vannah prices in that market and save
the freight to this city.
Discussing the situation yesterday a
leading factor on the Bay said it sim
ply means that local factors will move
from Savannah unless the rates on tur-
pentine and resins are cut down to
bring the stuff to this market 1t is
better for the railroads to lose a part
of the freight, he said, than the wharf
age they collect annually on naval
stores here. Unless the roads cut rates
so as to bring the stuff to Savannah
the factor expressed the belief that
the movement of these products will
be entirely diverted from Savannah,
and the factors will necessarily have
to follow it.
1t is not understood there will be
any aGsiSn on the part of any organ
lied body here. 1t is claimed by naval
stores men to be a matter for the rail-
roads to look out for themselves.

THIS PARTICULAR BRAND
The Heroes of savannah.

The following lines, written by Mr.. P.
J. Malone, We're printed in the News
and Herald soon after the close of
the Civil War:
They have passed from our midst, and
we give them the need
In the wreath consecrated to heroes
by Time
The remembrance of loved ones whose
hearts beat to bleed,
AS grand as rehearsals in Epic sub
lime.
They have gone from our midst; but
r we think of them yet,
And young flowers ore them their
fragrance yield;
Who could. with the. soult of a hero,
forget
The death words of Barlow, Boys,
die on the field?"
mo, never give up, though your Col
onel be killed
There are others-there's Jackson.
the Stonewall, to Lead"
And a shout rent the air, and the
ranks, again filled,
Rushed onward to victory DER dying
and dead.
We think of Claud Wilson, so eloquent
brave,
When sheet lightning dealt out it's
cataract wrath,
Who hurled back it's fury, and sunk to
his grave
In the quiet of victorys desolate
path.
And Willis and Habersham, true as the
steel
They welded, when marshaling, SER
red and staunch,
So young, yet, so brave!-could we
speak what we feel
We would canonize Crane, and i'm.
mortalize Branch.
The young year may come and the old
year may 60
And frosts nip the flowers that over
them wave,
Still neer but with life shall our tears
cease to flow,
When the stars of our children guard
DER their graves.
