ISrtCIAL TILEOUAil TO THS DIErATClT.l
Meadville, August l.SeymourHitch
cock and wife, Sarah A., alias Hugie, were
arrested in this city this evening bv Post
office Inspector Kasli, charged with usiug
the mails lor purposes of fraud. Their
scheme was to place an advertisement in a
"Western newspaper, among others a Chi
cago matrimonial paper, to the effect that a
widow of 35 desired a Western correspondent,
with a view to matrimony. The dupes who
answered these advertisements were drawn
into a loving correspondence, helped along
by the picture of a handsome young woman
which wonld be sent in due time.
The object was to work up an engagement
of marriage, get a ring or other presents,
and last of all, a remittance ot money with
which to go to the "Western lover. "When
remittances were received, the dupe would
get a receipt signed "Sarah A. Hitchcock,
per Seymour Hitchcock," which generally
wound him up.
They have operated in Oneonta, N. Y..
Erie, Ashtabula, Oican, Meadville and
other places. Between March and July
they received through the Oneonta postoffice
money orders to the amount of $100 and 19
registered letters. To-day was the first time
in seven weeks that they have called for
their mail here, and the invoice amounted
to 14 letters. The same number are waiting
them in the Ashtabula office.
Hitchcock, who since coming here has be
come a prominent member of the State
Street M. E. Church choir, admits his guilt
and says his wife assisted him under pro
test. Doth are in jail.

sided in Loudon connty, Vu., but went to

by entailment.
A Cincinnati attorney visited the Clarks
a few days ago, and, notifying them of their
good fortune, offered to secure and turn
over to them the large amouut on condition
that he be allowed 10 per cent of it. Be
lieving that his oner would result in his
receiving an undue share of the fortune,
they refused to accept it It is understood
they have employed attorneys here to give
the matter attention.

SOMETHING IN IT.
The Views of Another Eminent Physician In
tbe Brown-seqnard Elixir ol Life
No Poaslblo Harm Conld Re
sult From GlYlnff It
a Trial.
IITECIAI. TELEORAM TO TBI DISrATCH.3
Philadelmia, August 1. Dr. Ernest
LaPlace, a celebrated French physician, ar
rived in this city to-night to take the chair
of Pathology in the Medico-Chirurgical
College. DrLaPlace has been for several
years a co-laborer with Pasteur in his lab
oratory, and is a personal friend of Dr.
Brown-Sequard. In an interview concern
ing the success of ex-Surgeon General W.
A. Hammond in experimenting on Dr.
Brown-Sequard's so-called elixir of life, Dr.
LaPlace said:
"As yet I have no positive opinion with
regard to Dr. Brown-Sequard's success, but
from an spriori standpoint 1 would give it a
fair trial. There is nothing improbable in
the theory, and an immense amount of possi
bility. Looking at it from an analogous
standpoint, I would be disposed to try it,
and try it with a great deal of confidence of
success. There would be no danger attend
ing the experiments. The injection of such
a fluid as Dr. Hammond prepares, under
aseptic conditions, that is, conditions which
exclude the presence of micro-organisms,
would be attended with no danger to the
patient, and, possibly, the nature of said
injection would be such as to possess very
marked and heretofore unknown stimulative
and utilitive effect to the nervous system.
"Now, to prove experimentally that ani
mal matter can be used with impunity
under the skin, Pasteur has for the last four
years treated several thousaud patients
against hydrophobia, bv the sub-cutaneous
injections of the specially prepared spinal
cord of rabbits, without ulceration or similar
results.
"This rejuvenation is not a wild delusion.
Do not think lor an instant of classing it
with the absurd vagaries of the middle
ages. It has much in it to demand the at
tention of the scientist Dr. Brown
Sequard is a great friend of mine, and is
withouttloubt the greatest physiologist in
the world. He is not in his dotage,
as many persons would have us believe, but
is intellectually in the prime of his life, and
his discovery of the magic life-giving elixir
is the product of such a mind. It is no de
lusion, no hallucination, but a well-balanced,
carefully-thought-out problem. Dr.
Hammond has established himself on no
far-fetched promise in assuming Dr. Brown
Sequard's theory," and I am fairly confident
that the experiments, if carried out on care
fully calculated, scientific principles, will
be eminently satisfactory."
SOME CONFLICTING STORIES.
An Allcscd Conspiracy to Boycott tho G. A.
R. Encampment.
Chicago, August 1. The Chicago Evert
ing Journal this afternoon criticises se
verely the report fnrnished to papers by
the City Press Association of the recent
Grand Army of the Republic meeting in
this city. It also denounces the G. A. K.
representatives themselves for alleged at
tempts to influence the press in the interest of
their boycott of offending railroads. Re
garding the meeting of Department Com
manders Wednesday, which was held for
the nurnose of considering the advisahilitv
of adhering to their former recommenda
tions of non-attendance, the Journal says
editorially:
One of the most mischievous parts of the
conspiracy to boycott. In which a few misguid
ed Grand Army leaders have engaged, is the
dissemination or false intelligence through the
press. They have apparently obtained control
of some special reporters, and load the tele
graph wires with fictions in regard to their
doings. For instance, on Wednesday dispatches
were sent to the Milwaukee press, if not else
where, absolutely stating that eight States
were represented in Chicago at a secret meet
ing of the kickers held that day, and a list of
tbe Department Commanders is given, as if
they were actually present. The story is abso
lutely lalse. But two Department Command
ers were in Chicago on that day Martin, of
Illinois, and Brown, of Michigan. All the rest
is f nstlan.

that the people living in the vallev

and have not returned. The employes of
the Universal Wringer Company, which
draws its power from the reservoir, have not
worked for several days, believing that the
shops would be swept away.
The storm has been generally disastrous

Chicago, August 1. The Chicago
World's Fair Committee held a meeting
this afternoon to devise ways and means of
securing the coveted location of the World's
Fair at Chicago. Mayor Cregier was elected
Chairman, and Thomas O. O'Nell Secretary.
Over 200 leading citizens and millionaires
of Chicago were in attendance, and tbe
meeting was a most enthusiastie one. The
following resolution was unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, That, whereas tbe recent-Centennial
celebration in New York teceived very
propcrlyand with Chicago'shearty concurrence
the distinct recognition of Congress, and of
the chief officers of tbe Government, Imparting
to it a national character; and a like recogni
tion and substantial aid having been extended
to the World's Fair in Philadelphia also with
Chicago's cordial co-operation in and ont of
Congress therefore tbe West feels justified in
insisting upon Its turn now, and upon tbe loca
tion ot the next great fair In its commercial
metropolis.
An Executive Committee, consisting of
35 of the leading citizens of Chicago, was
appointed. Governor Filer and Senator
Cullom were added to tb? General Com
mittee, and the Mayor was also authorized
to add to the General Committee representa
tives of the cities of the Western and
Northwestern States in the- ratio of not ex
ceeding one far each 10,000 population.
