Mrs Garrett Dies From .Ahscpss
Which Reaches Artery After
New Treatment.
TEST is MADE ON RABBITS.
Effect of Doctor BarrowS's Specific
for Blood Poisoning Will Be
Tried Further by st Louis
Physicians.

Mrs. Alice Garrett. the first person in St
Louis to receive the Barrows formaln treat
ment for blood poisoning died at the Mis-
souri, Baptist Sanitarium at o'clock yester-
day morning. Her death was due to a
hemorrhage.
Doctor Walter r. Dorsett who adminis-
tered the formalin injections. said last night
that the death of Mrs Garrett was in no
wise caused hy the formaln treatment. as
when the abscess reached an artery the pa
tient was beyond medical aid.
Mrs. Garrett. who lived at No. SIS Barry
street. first received the new treatment on
Tuesday. She was suffering from blood
poisoning. and an examination discovered
the StreptoCoCCi germ.
On Tuesday evening Mrs. CARROTS condi-
ton was so low that it was thought ,dvis
able to resort to extreme measures and al
though but comparatively little was known
or the treatment. formain was used accord
ing to Doctor Barrow's prescription
AT the time OF the injection the patien,.s
temperature was 103lg. An hour later the
action of the formalin had reduced it a de-
gree and half Friday Doctor Dorset,
again administered the formalin. and Fri
DAY night the temperature was 90 and the
pulse lis. or nearly normal
With these encouraging syn7ntor,s &. ~
thought that Mrs. CARROTS chances for .
coVery were good. The end came s,,ddan1v
DOCTOR Dorsett said last night that when
the aoscess reached the artery the effect wa q
,he same as though the juguar vein had
been severed
Local physicians are greatly frto,as,o, L..
the formalin treatment and several ern.ri
mehts are under way TO test its efficiency.
Doctor rutherford b. II. Gradwohl has in
oculated rabbits with cultures obtained from
Mrs. CARROTS blood. and when the presence
OF the streptococci is ascertained they will
be treated with the formalin.
IN t'iiS manner It's effect upon the deadly
germ can be positively learned Otbor n,:'

MEADOWS FLAGSHIP
Four COnvicts From Yuma Attempt to Steal the Craft and
 Put to Sea.
But Were Unable to Navigate It Over the Bar at Mouth of
 River.

A telegram from Yuma dated March | 9, says: Arizona Charlie Meadows, with the assistance of band of Coco pah Indians. is whipping the brush about the mouth of the Colorado river, on both sides of the interna- tional boundary line. in search of four escaped convicts who a few days ago broke from the Yuma jail. "Ari- zona Charlie'' has not turned peace officer, but is making the search on his own responsibility. The convicts might have escaped and welcome had they not disturbed the yacht Ida, Meadows private yacht that was an chored at the mouth of the river. Making their escape the convicts fled down the river until they reached the Ida, which they boarded and at tempted to sail away; but the tide be- ing low they could not take the vessel over the bar. so contented themselves with carrying off everything that could be taken ashore. They got away with blankets and clothing, provis- ions and cooking utensils, guns, re volvers and ammunition, until the four outlaws were fixed to meet a brigade of the Mexican army.
 Meadows Indian swan ashore when the pirates boarded the yacht: then he ran a distance of more than a hun dred miles to Yuma to give warning to the owner of the yacht. Meadows set out at once. organizing his party of Indians as he hurried on horseback down the river. It was an easy enough matter to find the trail of the robbers, and he is now in pursuit of them.
 The yacht had been riding undis- turbed at the rivers mouth since last summer, when Meadows and George Fugard and a few others returned in her from a cruise of the Gulf of Cali fornia and a visit to Tiburon Island. The lde was to be the flagship of the fleet in which Meadows Tiburon Isl ands expedition was to sail to the isl and of the canibals. The expedition was abandoned temporarily on ac- count of opposition to it by the Mex ican people, who feared that it was a filibustering party come to annex Mexican territory to the United States.

The best evidence that the peopl, of the United States are prosperous i. embodied in the showing made by tho saving banks throughout the country
 In five years the number of deposit Ors in banks of this class has increased from 5, 200, ,000 to S6, 400, 900, a gain ot nearly quarter of a million a year.
 The ratio of savings banks deposit. ors to the total population is as one to thirteenth other words. out oi every bakers dozen, taking the aver age run of men, women and children, black, white, babies and all. the country over. there will be found al least one who has a deposit in some savings bank.
 Five years ago the total deposits of this class amounted to s1, 940, GOO, 900; now they foot up to the stupendous sum of g, GAO, 600, 900.
 The New York Commercial illus trates the significance of these figures by the statement that the 6. 400, COG savings bank depositors could buy the capital stock of the United States Steel corporation, the Western Union Telegraph company, the Pennsylvania and New York Central Railroad com panies, and still have left sum larger than the entire national deb' of the United States.

President M. B. Hazeltine and his co-workers on the board of directors of the Prescott free reading room are certainly deserving of great credit for efficient services they have given to- wards making the enterprise success. It Is purely an unselfish work. and has required a great deal of time on the part of those having the manage ment of it in hand. It is an easy matter for man to put his hand in his pocket and make a donation ac- cording to his means for the benefit of the reading room, but the officers have had to donate hours of their time to plan and work for its success, and the success achieved has been most remarkable. Efforts along the same line, as remarked by President HaZeltine had been made before and all resulted in failure after a few months. A room has been furnished for the present one and all expenses have been paid except the paltry amount of 5.60 for its maintenance, and in addition much of the literature required for it has been provided and paid for, for another year. It goes without saying that our people will donate literally for its support for another year, by which time the new public library is expected to be com pleted and reading room opened in connection with it.

MINING INTELLIGENCE.

\. Bartholdi has taken a bond on the copper property of Messrs. Mich ols, Olden and Weston. The property has a tunnel some three hundred feet long on it. and We know of no prop crty where there Is more ore in sight. { The tunnel Is driven in lime, show ing copper nearly the entire length of it The formation is not the same as that of the U. V, but is said to resemble that found in the Bisbee district Bartholdi has been very successful in his enterprise here and it need not be surprising if he handles this property quickly.-Reporter.
 A party of prospectors are prepar- ing to go into the Bill Williams Fork country, in the region of the recent rich gold strike. Considerable excite ment has been caused in the south part of the country by the recent strike of gold ore in the big dykes a short distance from Planet and the whole country is being staked out From present indications that coun- try will be the richest gold and cop per producing region of the territory. Gold has been found in all the ores of the big copper veins, but the recent strike is really the richest that has ever been made in that region. The original claims are held by Mexican locators, while the extensions and surrounding claims are held in part by Americans and MeXicans jointly The camp is but two or three miles from the river and water can be had readily for all purposes. There is no doubt that the mines will be picked up by capitalists within short time and the camp boomed for all it is worth.-MOhave Miner.
 The Bannie Gold company is ship. ping ore regularly now to the Val Verde shelter. The company has made some wonderfully rich strikes recently in the property, one of them consisting of a body of ore nine feet in width and of a good grade. The Bannie is very promising property and it is being very ably managed by W. J. Wilsey.
 W. C. Bashford returned from Kingman last evening. In regard to the rich strike which was reported in Mohave county a few days ago, he says very little is known yet as only one man had returned from the scene, that being Sheriff Lovin of Mohave coun- ty. He did not seem to think the strike was anything fabulous. He says there had been some very fine specimens taken out but the very rich ore struck was small The ledge which is about nine feet wide was sampled clear across and only went about S6 or S7 to the ton.
