One rrcentjly tested is an' carth which preserves whatever it sur roiinds for an indctinitcj period. Era halminir can be done, it is -.iid, as it used to be done in Knypt. and food ran be ke;rt for years. The clay comes cheap. The doctors are deeply interested in it. 1 jit has been settled, announces the New York Tflcjrmn. that hobyy is obliged to ply the value r2M0of the cargo thrown otcrboard by the Missouri to save the Djanmark's'passenger. Of course the in surance men are never responsible for aijiy sentimental act of humanity. It's strictly bushier with them.1 A maritime authority says: - A aptaijn is justified in tlirowirig part of h t-arijo overboard in ie of a seven ciie, wl-n he considers itlnecesaary fo save his ship and the rest "f the vessel's cargo. The insurance on tie cargo ho!d and there is no question f regarding .the payment; But in the present case the circumstances were dif ferent. No such necessity existed and. while the general public may applaud hjtm, the owners of the fargo object to losing their property! I iagree with the Board of Underwriters that under these circumstances the firm cannot recover from them. Their only recourse will be to attach the Missouri fo their claims." This, continues the Tekynim, is a cheer ful sequel to such a heroic performance. If it has taken the Christian world 1889 jrears to find out that no provision exists for indemnifying life-savers on the high sjeas, it is time for the orld to cut its wisdom teeth. . . SOUTHERN SPRAYS, FBOlf VIRGINIA TO TKTAR, Items of Interest Gulled from Many Sources. - s NORTH CAROLINA. A man died near University station last week, aged 90 years, who never took any medicine nor never was inside of a rail road car. John B. Eaves, chairman of the State Republican Committee, was appointed collector of Internal Revenue for the Fifth District of North Carolina. George C. Eaton, of Cincinnati, a nephew of President Harrison, died of consumption at Asheville, aged 35 years. The remain were taken to Cincinnati for interment. At Asheville Policeman Bradley and Special Policeman Donovan were arrested on the charge of murder. Some days ago they attempted to arrest a negro, Wince Duffy, for a misdemeanor. Duffy resist ed the officers. The defendants say that several negroes assaulted the policemen. Bradley fired, wounding the negro Duffy in the chin. He escaped, but died Wed nesday morning. Bradley and Donovan have been committed to jail. Threats of lynching by negroes were heard. Ad ditional special policemen have been sworn in. SOtfTH CAROLINA. Major George W. Earle, who has lately made a survey of Darlington county, made his report to the county commis sioners. By his chart the county of Darlington as it now stands contains only 601 square miles. This is twenty-four miles less than the required area. There fore the bill creating Florence county ."ill have to be amended before it is legal. Jake Wright, a colored man living a few miles from St. Matthews, accidental ly shot and killed himself with an old musket. He had been out hunting and on his return leaned his gun against the house. Later he came to the door ; reach ing down he pulled the gun up to him, holding it by the muzzle. It is supposed that the hammer struck against the steps, .s it went off and the entire load of bird shot went into his head. FLORIDA. Patrick E. Murray has been appointed postmaster at Jacksonville, and Elijah A. Adams received the Lake City appoint ment. ; At Apalachicola some three million feet ?f lumber in the yard of Monroe & Co., was burned, and it was only by hard work that the mill was saved. The lum cer was partly insured. I A fire which started in a building on Bridge street, Jacksonville, early Wed nesday morning, consumed everything for an area of rive blocks, bounded by Hawk street on the west, Adamson on the north, Clay on the east, and the creek on the Vmth. At least sixty buildings were burned, and the most of them being of wood and the homes of colored people. Several of the burned buildings were oc cupied by business firms. The loss is es timated at $200,000. Insurance light. Mi GEORGIA. Not a single bid was received at Sa vannah by the receiver when the Savan nah, Dublin and Western Railroad was tillered at public sale. The minimum price was $.",000. It wil be put up gain ou July 2 without an upset price, ;:nd the highest bidder will get it. Tom Woolfolk, who is charged with the murder of his entire family, consist ing of nine persons, was placed, on trial 'Moudny at Perry. The murder was com knitted in Bibb county, near Macon, in 1S8G, and the case goes to Houston on a hange of venure. The case has been famous from the fact teehuinally this is AVool folk's fourth trial. Atlanta never misses an opportunity to V.dvertise herself. Her Piedmont Expo sition will open on Oclobcr T and con-, tinue until November 2. She has ar iani;ed for a friend Iv meeting -on Oct 20 between President Harrison and Presi dent Diaz of the Republic of Mexico, lieu. Joseph E. Johnston and Gen. W. T, Sherman will also be prcent on that occasion. VIRGINIA. Gen. Jubal A. l!arly paid his first visit to Winchester since the war on Wednes day. Numbers of old soldiers, and many citizens paid respects to the Gtu tial. Ou Monday last a coroner's inquest vas held at Staunton on the lxxly of William Bush, who died near Waynes boro on Saturday in violent convulsions, l ite evidence resulted in the arrest of Ida Buth. his widow, and Peachie At- ! kinsou. charged with causing Buhs death by administering rough on rats and arsenic in his food. This hat! been go ing on ;-ince May 23, when Bush noticed his first queer feelingi On Saturday ar senic was added to the roughon rats "with fatal result. Intimacy between Mrs. Bush and Atkinson was suspected, and the motive was to get Bush out of the ivay. Atkinson is 18 years old and Mrs. Bush 23, with three children. OTHER STATES. The gamblers of Louisiana have offered to pay the State debt $12, 000, OtH) for a fifty year license. Twenty factories, with the aggregate capital o'f 1,500,000, have been estab lished in Florence, Ala., a town of some 2,500 people, during the seven months just past. It is now reported in Louisvile, Ivy., that an English syndicate wants to buy up all the Kentucky distilleries. The scheme, if carried out will be a gigantic one. -for in the. 5th Kentucky district alone there are over one hmndred distill eries, with a daily capacity of 70,000 gal lons, In 1887 the sum of "4,788,000 was paid for taxes, and in 1888 6,288,000, while distillery property throughout the State is valued somewhere near 25,000, 000. A special from Biloxi. a thriving town of Harrison county, Miss., on the Gulf coast, says that that town suffered severe loss by tire, all the busines part be ing wiped out. The loss in 100,000; in surance 2.00. The fire was incendiary. The citize-n held an indignation meeting and appointed a vigilance Cjommittee to dcte;t "the incendiary and' punish the plunderer., who were at work during th fire. There was no tire apparatus there but a hook and ladder. Mobile was tele graphed to for help and sent an engine and hose truck on a special train, arriv ing, however, after the fire was gotton urn.--:. r.-Mrol. SELECT SIFTINGS. George Washington's name is found twelve times in the New York city di rectory. The theory of the eclipses is said to have been known to the Chinese before 120 B. C. M Zoar Bridge, Conn., has a horse that, in drinking from brooks laps up the water like a dog. The cattle of the most valuable herd in the Northwest are given homeopathic treatment exclusively. It is said that during a series of twenty one years there has been only one drought extending over the whole of Kansas. Astronomy was cultivated in Egypt and Chaldea2800 B. C. ; in Persia,3209;, in India, 3103, and in China, 2952. The invention of stereotype printing! belongs to William Gid, a Scotch gold-l smith, who first designed this method at Edinburg, in 1736. A remarkable subterranean waterway! has been discovered at Salamonie Stone Quarries, twelve miles north of Hartford! City, Ind., and is thought to be the out- let of a cave. The newest feature of personal adorn- ment is made up of hairs from the tail of the African elephant, made into watchi guards and bracelets. The elephant isj now becoming so scarce that his relics, are said to be very fashionable. It is stated that the following lang-j aages are spoken on the main street of! Deadwood : English, German, French, Italian, Chinese, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, Scandinavian, Russian, Irish, Spanish, Hebrew, Sclavonian fourteen, with possibibly a few overlooked. Old Christ Church, Alexandria, ofj which one George Washington was some) time a vestryman, had twice a woman-i I sexton. Jn 1776, Susannah Edwards; seated the congregation, "each according; to his dignity." From 1810 to 1821 aj Mrs. Cook held sway, and it is said wouldU lock the people in their pews and patrol the aisles in a most martial manner. She was also a terror to such as infringed the: decorum of the place. So it is no won-; der she was retired upon a pension long before her usefulness was past. Signals Among Primitive Races. R. Andree has lately been collecting in formation as to the use of signals by primi tive peoples, and the facts he has brought together are summarized in Science.' It appears that American Indians use rising smoke to irive signals to distant friends. A small fire is started, and as soon as it burns fairly well grass and leaves are heaped on the top of it. Thus a large column of steam and smoke arises. By covering the fire with a blanket the In dians interrupt the rising of the smoke at regular intervals, and the successive clouds are used for conveying messages. Recently attention has been called to the elaborate system of drum signals used by the Cameroon negroes, by means of which long messages are sent from vil lage to village. Explorations in the Congo basin have shown that this system prevails throughout Central Africa. The Bakuba use large wooden drums, on which differ ent tones are produced by drumsticks. Sometimes the natives "converse" in this way for hours, and from the energy dis played by the drummers, and the rapidity of the successive blows, it seemed that the conversation was very animated. The Galls, south of Abyssinia, have druro.3 stationed at certain points of the roads leading to the neighboring States. Special watchmen arc appointed, who have to bent the drum on the approach of enemies. Ceochi, who observes this cus tom, designated it as a "system of tele graphs. " The same use of drums is found in New Guinea. From the rhythm and rapidity of the blows the natives know at once whether an attack, a death, or a festival is announced. The same tribes use columns of smoke or (at night) fires to convey messages to distant friends. The latter are also used in Australia. Columns of smoke of different forms are used for signals by the inhabitants of Cape York and the neigborinjr island. In Victoria hollow trees are filled with fresh leaves, which are lighted. The signals thus made are understood by friends. In eastern Australia the move ments of a traveler are made known by columns of smoke, and so was the dis covery of a whale in Portland bay. The report for the season at Monte ; Carlo, the notorious European gambling i resort, shows $3,200,000 profit for the j bank and sixteen suicides. At the International Exhibition of Botany, to be held in Antwerp in 1890, , will be celebrated the three-hundredth -laxiiversary of the microscope. AFTER THE FLOOD. RECOVERING THE DEAD. The Workmen Becoming More Accustomed To Their Work. JoHXSTOWN, Pa. The woik of recov ering the dead goes on with undiminish ed vigor, and as the workmen become accustomed to their ghastly finds, and the horrors of the scene become common place, they apply themselves more dili gently to their duty, and labor with a system that produces rapid results. A BT8T DELEGATION. The Altoona delegation ' has been one of the busiest and most useful ou the ground. They took charge of two of the leading hospitals, the Cambria and that under Dr. Robinson id Johnstown, and ran them up to Thursday morning, when they were relieved by the Philadelphia branch of the Red Cross society, under Clara Barton. They also have" been in charge of the wreckage above the bridge. B. M. Bunker, of Altoona, has had 6ixty men at work, aided by Dave Kirk, who is doing the dynamiting. Altoona pays all the bills for this work. This party of workmen liave done so well that a big blast of twenty-five dynamite car tridges at 10 o'clock loosened up the debris and made it possible to open up the mouth of the old channel. A WOMAN MISSIONARY KILLED. The gang of workmen have located a day express, which was swept away at Conemaugh. The ruins of the train lie one hundred feet from the western end of the stone bridge. Parts of the parlor cars have been found, as well as traces of the passengers. About 9 o'clock the baggage of Miss Annie Chism, of Nash ville, Tenn., was found. She was a mis sionary on her way to Brazil, for the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist church. Among her effects was a bible, and in it was a message to be filed at Altoona, and addressed to the Methodist Book Concern, at No. 20, East Tenth street, New York, announcing that she was on the train. Her watch, some money, and a Greek testament were also found. It is evident that many lives were lost ottfthis Irain more than at first supposed. The whole train- affair is still a mystery; at least the passengers have not so far been found and located. The body of a nicely-dressed lady was found, which was so much decomposed as i.to be un recognizable. The effects of Miss Chism were sent to Altoona. A SMALL-SIZED RIOT. There was a small-sized riot at a labor camp Thursday morning on account of there not being food enough fot the men, nor utensils to cook it with. Mr. Flinn, who is at the head of the labor bureau, made a speech to the men and stated that it was impossible to get the things down from the railroad, but that they would be gotton down as soon as possible. He also stated that they did not want men who expected to live on the fat of the land, and that this was principally a work of charity even though the men did get paid for their work. A few minutes after this, as Mr. Flinn was drinking some black coffee and eating some hard crack ers and cheese, two workmen come up to him and commenced to complain because they did not have soup and meat. This enraged Mr. Flinn, and after telling them that he thought he was as used to good eating as they were, he ordered guards to take the men out of town and not permit them to come back again. This seemed to have effect, and there was no more trouble. Twenty time-keepers from Pitts burg arrived, and they are now "hard at work getting the names of men employed. The force of 10,000 men will not be able to remove the debris in less than several weeks. About 500 of the laborers had no tents to sleep in, but word was received from Washington that tents were on their way. SKILLED LABORERS WANTED. Notices are pasted asking for carpen ters, stone-masons and bricklayers, but they do not materialize. TO CLEAN OUT THE RIVER. Dr. J. Guy McCandless was here in consultation with the State Board of Health and others, with reference to cleaning the river from Mineral Point to Pittsburg, wherever it is possible. He thinks the bodies oupht to be immedi ately cremated on the banks or in such places as they have fallen, thus relieving the river of its element of pollution. The gentlemen with whom he talked heartily coincided with his views, and will con-operate with him in the work, which will be commenced at once. RESCUED AUVX A mother and daughter were rescued alive, suffering from nervous shock and hunger. They were at once removed by the rescuers and placed in charge of friends. Both will recover, as neither was badly injured in a bodily sense. LIST OF THE LOST AT WOODVALE. The list of the lost at Woodvale makes a total of 242 out of a population of 1030. CLARA BARTON. Miss Clara Barton, President of lha Red Cross is now at Johnstown. The following cable message addressed to her was received from the Grand Duchess of Barden Carlruhe, June 6: Miss Clara Barton, Washington: God bless your work in the floods disater. Grand Duchess." tvilliamsport breathes easier. WiLLiAMsroRT, Pa. People breathe a little easier, now that all apprehensions as to further suffering with hunger have been discipated. Seven cars of supplies, brought up by the Secretary of the Com monwealth, are unloaded. All along the line of the Philadelphia A Reading track through the city de struction meets the eye, many cars having been lifted from the track and torn to pieces. The number of houses toppled into heaps of rubbish can't yet be stated, but it is quite large. Along the entire river! front, lumber and other drift are ilcd up as high as the bouses. A car oad of coal was carried a distance of five miles and left striking on top of a piece of the boom. Clothing is badly needed, as many -have lost all but what they ha on. Several large mills are still filled with homeless people, and 'others are J using freight cars and improvised starties 1 hje tents sent are welcome. A child was lkm in a saw mill occupied by a number of homeless people, the mother being entirely without necessary accom modations, and another very sick woman was (ound on the second floor of a build ing that had been flooded. She was there? without fire or other comforts. BLIND TOM THOUGHT TO HAVE BEEN DROWNED. Among those believed to have been swept away by the flood is "Blind Tom," the well-known negro pianist. He, with his manager, left Pittsburg ;j on Friday morning for Johnstown, and as they have not been heard of since, it; is thought they are both drowned. Being strangers, and one of the only a colored man, it is more then likely that if their bodies were recovered thev were unidentified. IN THE CUMBERLAND VALLEY. Cd.MBERr.AND, Pa. The flood in the Cumberland valley has jvassed, and the loss is estimated at 300,000. There is no loss of life. These telegrams passed between Gov. Beaver rind Capt. R. H. Pratt, manager of the Government .Iudian Training Schobl of this city : Gpv. Beaver: If my services, with 100 able-bodied, well-disiplined young Indian men capable of performing more than ordinary laborers, and my trained nurses, with six trained assistant Indian girl nurses, will be of any use anywhere in the flooden districts, use us. Can take rations and tents with us. Pratt, Capt. Gov. Beaver replied : CApt. Pratt: Advices from all parts of the State where distress prevails seem to indicate that they are well provided with labor and nurses. We are employing the unemployed of the the regions as much as possible for obvious reasons. Am grateful for your offer. The tables have turned in the Indian problem. Your generous offer I treat as a harbinger of the coming of a better day for the In dians and better relations between him and the white man. At the Tombs of Jackson and Lee, Confederate Memorial Day was ob served at Lexington, Va., Thursday with out) ceremony or special programme. The Ladies' Memerial Association, as sisted by citizens, profusely decorated Stonewall Jackson's grave at the ceme tery, and the tomb of Gen. Robt. E. Lee, Mausoleum Chapel, and Washington and Lee University. The weather was fair and there was a large turnout. It May be Yellow Fever. y Surgeon General Hamilton received dispatch from Surgeon Orr, at Delaware Breakwater, Del., stating that the Brit ish Steamer Baltimore City, from Ha vana, via Santiago I)e Cuba, for Phila delphia, arrived at that place Thursday with two suspicious eases of fever aboard.
