THE MALARIA PARASITE.
II Has Eight Generations, and Their
Names Arc Something Shocking.
From the London Telegraph.

From the London Telegraph
In a paper read before the Royal So
ciety and published in The British
Medical journal, Prof. Ray Lancaster
suggests a set of scientific names for
the malaria parasite. That a complete
set is necessary is proved by the fact
that the creature is, so to speak, eight
different animals in succession before
a generation arises which, like its an
cestor, is able to infect humanity with
malaria. Here is a free rendering of
the genealogy. First there are little
needle-shaped organisms, which pass
into the human system through the
proboscis of a mosquito. Each of these
needles makes for red corpuscle and
gets inside. Then it passes into its sec
ond phase and becomes more or less
shapeless mass, which grows within its
red corpuscles until the dwelling is de-
stroyed and the inhabitant breaks up
into a crowd of Spores and so changes
into number three" These spores
enter fresh red corpuscles. changing
as the others did, on taking up resi-
dence, and breaking up like them after
a period of growth. This is repeated
for several generations, until the occu-
pant of the red corpuscle from some
unknown cause develops on a new line
and assumes a crescent shape. In this
fourth phase it fioats-male and female
for the first time-through the blood
to be swallowed by the malarial mos
quito that preys on man.
Having duly passed into the insect,
the sexes become spherical as a fifth
stage, but their children. in the sixth
transformation, are pear-shaped and
grow larger than any of their ances-
tors or descendants. This creature
pushes it's way through the wall of the
mosquitoes stomach and changes into
No. Z, a steadilygr growing ball, which
eventually increases to twenty times
its original diameter. This ball becomes
more and more complex. Within 1t ap-
pears a colony of cells packed closely
together-the eighth metamorphosis-
and in time these pour forth a crop of
the needle-like organisms with which
we started. They find their way into
the blood of the mosquito, thence into
the fluid which the insect apparently
pours into the wound it makes in it's
human victim, and so start once more
on their marvellous round. To the I'M
scientific mind the one CLEAN of salts
faction in the story is that the mos
quito must suffer as much as the man
during the career of the parasite. For
those who are interested in scientific
nomenclature Prof. Ray Lankester's
names may be given. They are for the
respective stages: "a Exotospore. (2)
Amoebula, 90 Enaemosphore "a Cres-
cent, (male andfemale), 60 Sperm

A Voting Telegraph.
From the London Chronicle.


There is only one reference to me-
chanical voting in the thirteen reports
on foreign pagliaments which have
Just been issued This occurs in a
memorandum on the subject of divis-
ions in the Reichstag and Prussian
Landtag. AS long ago as 1869 a motion
was introduced in the Prussian lower
house in favor of establishing a sys-
tenn called the voting telegraph. an
electric invention designed by the firm
of Siemens & Halske. Each member
was to have at his place a handle to
turn to right or left as he wished to
vote Yes" or NO" and this handle
could be turned only by the member
to whom the seat belonged, each mem
Der being provided with a special key.
The time for taking the votes of the
lower house would according to this
scheme have occupied less than two
minutes. There We're no practical oh
jections made to the machine, but it
was rejected, partly because no press
ing need existed for shortening the di-
visions, and partly on account of the
advantages of an oral process of vot-
ing.

THE CAR ROBBERY CASE.
TRIAL OF w. A. HOWELL BEGUN AT
WAYCROsS.

The Indictment Based on a Box OF
Goldfish Shipped From savannah to
MONTGOMERY, Ala, and Found In
HOwcITs House at Waycross-A
lustrntinG the Methods of the
Thieves In Entering and RObbing
Cars without Breaking the Seals.
Waycross, Ga, April 29.-The Supe-
rior Court room has been crowded all
day, as the deepest interest is mani
tested in the now celebrated car rob-
berry cases undergoing investigation.
The state first put on trial w. A.
Howell. alias Doc Howell, who is
charged with breaking and entering
and stealing from a certain railroad
car property of the Plant System
Howell was represented by Toomer &
Reynolds, and the Solicitor Hon. John
w. Bennett, is assisted by Hon. Simon
w. Hitch and Hon. w. z. Kay. Mr..
Toomer undertook to quash the indict-
ment on a technicality. His conten-
ton was that the indictment did not
show the ownership by the Plant Sys-
tenn of the car alleged to have been
robbed, and further demurred at both
a felony and a disdemeanor being in
Guided in the indictment.
Judge Bennett overruled the objec-
tons and the case proceeded. Nearly
all the morning was consumed in Sc
curing the jury.
Howell is charged with stealing from
the car one box of Goldfish, which was
shipped from Philadelphia to Howe &
Co., Montgomery, Ala, and which
was checked short at MONTGOMERY
and subsequently found in the posses
sion of Howell at his home in this city.
Mr.. w. G. Hutton of Savannah, tes-
titled to the loading of these goods
in the car at Savannah
Mr.. Scott Howe, of Howe & Co., at
Montgomery, testified as to the short
age of the goods where they were re-
! ceived in their place. and of their
claim against the railroad people.
Mr.. l.. p. Battle, freight clerk of the
! Plant System at Montgomery, testified
that upon breaking the seal of the car
he found one box of Goldfish short, and
exhibited his records to substantiate
| his testimony.
Officer c, M. Highsmith testified as
| to the finding of the Goldfish at HowelPs
home. The box exhibited in court
| bears the name in stencil of Howe &
| 20, montgomery, Ala.
Mr.. Sam T. Wright, agent of the
! Plant System at this point, was sworn
to prove the ownership of this car and
property by the Plant System, and
Sheriff Mcclellan told of the arrest OF
| Howell.
| The most interesting feature of the
states evidence was the exhibition be-
fore the jury of a miniature freight
car, showing the exact methods which
the railroad people claim were en-
ployed to break into these cars with
out interfering with the seals.
| This miniature car was made by Mr.
Anderson, in the Plant Systems car
works and was by him exhibited to
the court and jury.
This case will probably consume the
| time of the court much of tomorrow
The outcome is watched closely by the
people all over this section, as upon
the verdict in, this instance will de-
pend the fate of the remaining cases.

tends from Cheraw to Savannah, and

nah.
Mr.. Peasants has the question of
changing the location of the passenger
office of the Seaboard under advise
nent. The room in the Sorrel build
in=. on the first floor at Bull street
and Bay street lane, is under consid-

Mayor Myers was asked yesterday If
there would be any opposition from the
City Council to the Confederate Vet
Grams establishing the monuments to
Gen. McLaws and Gen. Barlow at the
Bull street entrance to Forsyth Park,
where the foundations have been laid
He ansW cred that, so far as he knew,
there would be none.
There is absolutely no disposition to
interfere with the Confederate Veter-
ans" said the Mayor, and l believe
that Council will very willingly yield
to their wishes in this matter. l and
some others thought that some other
location than those selected would an
swer better. but we were not disposed
TO force the establishment of the monu-
ments elsewhere.
The question of the location was
left to the Park and Tree Commission
by the ordinance, and the locations
where foundations have been laid were
agreed upon by the Veterans and
delega ton from the Park and Tree
Commission. / pointed out to Capt.
Dillon and Capt. Chestnut that the
Veterans should know how the monu
ments will look when i'm place, and
that, If there are any adverse criti-
cisms of the effect, they would be di-
rected against those who established
the memorials. The commission
thought the ordinance mandatory in
its selection of sites at the Bull street
entrance to the park"
The Veterans Committee has gone
serenely ahead with it's preparations
for the unwilling of the monuments,
having answered the suggestion from
the Park and Tree Commission that
the monuments be placed in Laurel
Grove Cemetery with a brief state
ment that it was very well satisfied
with the Forsyth Park location Is al
ready chosen. Chairman Daffin of the
Park and Tree Commission turned
this communication over to the Mayor
when he received ii, and the Mayor
has decided that he would take no ac-
ton looking toward interference with
the Veterans plans.

KNOCKED DOWN BY A WOMAN.
Mrs. GoodsOn Used Bottle for n
Weapon and Then Administered n
Few Kicks.

Columbia, s. c., April 2s.-At Spar
tanourg last evening a genuine SEN
sation occurred at the Southern Rail-
way depot. A comedy looking young
white woman, by the name of Mrs.
Fannie P. Goodson, walked up to Mr..
Sam w. Wood, who was standing near
the baggage room, and struck him a
severe blow in the face with a bottle.
The man was instantly felled and lay
stunned for several minutes. When he
arose apd attempted to depart his as
sailant administered several kicks on
his person. An officer who was stand
ing nearby arrested the woman and she
immediately gave bond.
The blow received by Mr.. Wood was
very painful one, a cash being in
fiicted on his forehead over the eye,
and his head is considerably swollen.
1t is claimed by the woman that Mr..
Wood had been talking about her, and
she sought revenge with the bottle.
The case will be heard in the Police
Court tomorrow morning.

SAVANNAHIANS DON'T KNOW
Have Heard Nothing to show Mr..
Erwin Goes to COnst Line.

Have Heard Nothing to show Mr..
Erwin Goes to Coast Line.
Nobody in Savannah seems to know
anything of a plan for the elevation
of President r. G.. Erwin of the Plant
System to the presidency of the At
lantic Coast Line Company or the At
lantic Coast Line Railway. A report
that such a change would come with
the assumption by the Coast Line of
control over the Plant System has
been published.
President Erwin, when in Savannah
some days ago, said to representative
of the Morning News that he did not
know what he would do after the
merger. save that he would remain as
president of the Plant Investment
Company, possibly winding up its af-
fairs.
MIR. H Walters, who is abroad, is
president of the Atlantic Coast Line
Company, while Mr. w. c. Elliott is
president of the Atlantic Coast Line
Railway. 1t is not improbable that the
merger of the Coast Line Railway and
the Plant System would be followed by
the retirement of one or the other of
the two presidents, Mr.. Walters or Mr..
Elliott, and, in that case, Mr.. Erwin,
who has been so successful as a rail-
way president would seem as likely a
successor as any one who might be
named.
Mr.. ]. G. Knapp has been appointed

for the Atlantic and Birmingham at
Fitzgerald. He will enter upon the dis
charge of his duties tomorrow.

B. D. Evans presiding. Judge Evans
made an able charge to the grand jury;
in the course of which he complimented
the county officers very highly, by say
ing that from what he could learn Bull
loch has a model set of officials.
Hon. Joe Hall was widely advertised
to speak here at the noon recess yes
terday in the interest of Col. Guerry,
but did not show up. and nothing has
been heard from him. Hon. G.. R.
Glenn occupied the hour however, and
spoke encouragngly of the prospects
for education in the South, especially
as a result of the meeting of the Ogden
party in Athens last week.
He did not mention his candidacy in
his speech, and Bulloch is good fight
ing ground for any one of the commits
sioner candidates. 1t is conceded that
Estill will carry it for governor, and
there is no fight to be made.
A strong Query man stated yester-
day that if Mr.. Hall had come and
made his speech he would not have

A good many Estill buttons are seen

Judge Speer to-day appointed Leon S.
Dure receiver of the Rogers and Joiner
Commission Companyof the individual
members of the Rico Kaolin Mining
Company. The commission company
has done business of $4,000 in four
years.
It was recently discovered that the
Rogers and Joiner Company had accu-
luuiated debts to the amount of go, 900.
1t is the largest failure Macon has
known in several years. A leading
New York bank has $4,000 of dis
counted accommodation paper.
A bail trover proceeding was under
taken against Mr.. Rogers to recover
$50 tons of cotton seed bulls. the
plaintiffs claiming that he had pledged
the hulls as security for a loan. The
suit was dismissed on the ground that
he could neither give bond nor pro-
duce the hulls.
