a v,ruient germ found in the soil, was dis

OF sulphuretted hydrogen gas about the
intruder in the tenement body. The skin
in this case was punotured in number Of
places at the autopsy. and when match
was applied the gas that escaped burned
with faint blush flame.
Palito Demarco, an Irishman with an
italian name, was the patient He was SO
years old and lived at 1872 East 1i2th street
He was a stonecutter employed at l4Sd
street and the East River. On Feb IL
he dropped big piece OF marble on his
right ankle and broke the ankle. Demarco
was removed to the Lincoln Hospital. On
Tuesday OF this week 1t was decided that
the leg must come of.
DR.. John Harpwell, visiting physician
of the hospital, was called in to perform
the operation. He was assisted by the
house surgeon, DR.. Elias, and the regular
hospital stan. Demarco's right leg was
taken on just above the knee. He died at
100 o'clock on Tuesday night.
The autopsy was made yesterday by DR..
Curtin, who is Coroner OGormans physi-
clan, The physicians who had assisted
at the operation were present. The autopsy
disclosed that Demarco had died Of the
disease not OF the operation.
This disease. said one OF the physicians
yesterday 'is exceedingly rare. On an
average one case is reported about
every four years IL Is produced by
powerful virulent germ found in soil.
Apparently the germ got into this mans
leg from the marble dust. The disease
means practically the presence of air
forming oorpuscles which produce de-
composition even before the victim Is dead.
The case has Interested a number Of
physicians who heard OF ii. A request
was made that the body be sent to Bellevue
Hospital for further examination. The
mans family, however, objected.
Several physicians who were seen last
night regarding the case said that the dis
ease. although a rare one. had been dis
covered some time ago. They expressed
their regrets that case having been found

Futures Upheld by the Courts.

The Chicago Board of Trade and
some bucket shops fell out over the
quotations of the former, and case
wa carried to the United States SUI
preme court which necessarily in
volved the nature of dealings in fu-
lures. Justice Holmes rendered the
opinion of the court, and siv members
of the court concurred in the opinion.
Justices Harlan, Brewer and Day
stoutly dissented.
Justice Holmes in wri ppin-
ion of the court met the l. ankly,
for he declared that the fact that the
contracts of the Chicago Board of
Trade are satisfied by set-offs and
by the payment of differences detract
in no degree from the good faith of
the parties" Although the seller of
wheat had not a bushel of the grain
he sold and the buyer did not want a
grain of the wheat he bought, yet the
contract between them, says the SUI
preme court. is good, legal and sound.
Justice Holmes went on to say that
"if the parties know when they make
such contracts that they are very like
ly to have a chance to satisfy them
in that way, and intend to make use
of it, that fact is consistent with a
serious business purpose This set
ties it. Futures have secured foot
ing in court, and they are no longer
gambling in the eyes of the law, what
ever they may be in ethics. Hartman

shop can no longer be outlawed, for
it is but an outgrowth of central

MORGAN NATIVE OF CLAY.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
Clay county is the native home of United
States Senator John r. Morgan. for
twenty years a member of the upper
house Of Congress, and distinguished as
the south's ablest representative.
Senator Morgan was born at Clairmont
Springs, located ten miles north of Ash
land, in a modest but convenient cottage
which was SO well built that it still
stands.
The springs at Senator Morgans old
homes possess properties remarkable for
the aid they render the treatment Of
disease. and are surrounded by scenery
that make them very desirable. They
are owned at present by parties living in
Ashland, who contemplate making ex-
tensive improvements of the property.
Among the minerals in the vicinity Of
the, springs to add to the value of them
are veins of pyrites xand beds of slate
which State Geel6gist Smith considers the
finest in the state.
The Eastern Railway of Alabama passes
through the springs. and the survey of
the Atlantic and Birmingham crosses that
division here. With the completion of the
latter road 1t is thought these springs will
become as popular as the famous Tate
Springs of Virginia, or Bowdon Lithla
Springs of Georgia.
