The following is the exact translation of Prof. Koch's paper in the Deutsche Jfedicinisclie Wochinschrtft of to-day, expressly secured for the Phila delphia Medical 2s'eics and The Dispatch. In view of the meaner reports which have previously been sent out concerning the new discovery it will be read with intense interest. The article begins: "In an address delivered before the Inter national Medical Congress I mentioned a remedy which conferred on tbe animals ex perimented upon an immunity against in oculation with the tubercle bacillus, and which arrested tuberculous disease. Inves tigations have now been carried ont on human patients and these form the subject of the following observations. To Prevent False Impressions. "It was originally my intention to com plete the research and especially to gain sufficient experience regarding the applica tion of the remedy in practice and its pro duction on a large scale before publishing anything on the subject, bnt in spite of all precautions, so many accounts have reached the public, and in snch an exaggerated and distorted form, that it seems imperative in order to prevent all false impressions to give at once a review of the position of the sub ject at the present stage of the inquiry. "The invtstig ations have been carried on under the direction by Dr. A. Libberts and Dr. Piuhl, and are still in progress. Patients were placed at my disposal by Prof. Bree ger from his polyclinic, Dr. W. Iievy from his private surgical clinic, Geheimrath Drs. Frantzel and Oberstabsarzt Kohler from the Charite Hospital and Geheimrath T. Bergmann from the surgical clinic of the university. I wish to express my thanks to these gentlemen. Tlio Origin of tlio Kemedy Reserved. "As regards the origin and the prepara tion of tbe remedy, I am unable to make any statement, as my research is not yet concluded. I reserve this for a future com munication. Doctors wishing to make in vestigations with the remedy at present can obtain it from Dr. A. Libbertz, Lueneburger fctrasse 23, Berlin, X. W., who has under taken the preparation of the remedy with my own and Dr. Pfnhl's co-operation, but I must remark that the quantity prepared at present is small, and that larger quantities will not be obtainable tor some weeks. "The remedy is a brownish transparent liquid, which does not require special care to prevent decomposition. For use, this fluid must be more or less diluted, and the dilutions are liable to undergo decomposi tion if prepared with distilled water. As bacterial growths soon develop in them they become turbid and are then unfit for use. To prevent this, tbe diluted liquid must be sterilized by heat and preserved under a cotton-wool stopper, or more conveniently prepared with a one-half per cent solntion of phenol. The Fresh. Solution the Best. "It would seem, however, that the effect is weakened by both freqnent heating and by mixture with phenol solntion, and I have therefore always made use of a freshly pre pared solution. Introduced into the stom ach the medicine has no effect. In order to obtain a reliable effect it must be injected sub-cutaneously. For this purpose we have exclusively used a small syringe sug gested by me for bacterialogical work. It is furnished with a small india rnbber ball and has no piston. "This Byringe can easily be kept aseptic by the use of absolute alcohol, and to this we attribute the fact that not a single ab scess has been observed in the course of more than 1,000 sub-cutaneous injections. The place chosen for the injections, alter sev eral trials of other places, was the skin of the back between the shoulder blades and the lumbar region, because here the injec tion led to the least local reaction, generally none at all, and was almost painless. One Result of the Experiments. As regards the effect of the remedy on the human patient, it was clear from the be ginning of the research that in one very important particular the human being re acts to the remedy differently from the ani mal generally used in experiments, namely, the guinea pig a new proof for the experi menter of the all-important law that experi ment on animals is not conclusive, for the haman patient proved extraordinarily more sensitive than the gninea pig. As regards the effect of the remedy, a healthy guinea pig will bear a sub-cntaneous injection of two cubio centimetres and even more of the liquid without being sensibly affected, but in the case of a lull-grown healthy man 0.25 cubic centimetres suffice to produce an in tense effect. Calculated by the body weight, one-firteenth thousandth part of, the quanti ty winch has no npprpciable eftet on the BUSINESS Men will find THE DISPATCn the best adertislng Medium. AH clauses can be reached through Its Classified Adi er tisement Columns. If yon want anything J on can set It by this method. guinea pig act powerfully on the human be ing. Symptoms of a Human Patient. "The symptoms arising from the injec tion of 0.25 cubic centimetres I have ob served after an injection made in my own upper arm. They were briefly as follows: Three to four hours after the injection there came'on'pain in the limbs, fatigue, inclina tion to cough, difficulty of breathing, which speedily increased in the fifth hour, and were unusually violent. A chill followed which lasted almost an hour. At the same time there was nausea, vomiting and a rise of body temperature to 39.Gc After 12 hours all these symptoms abated, the tem perature fell and on the next day it was normal. A feeling of fatigue and pain in the limbs continned for a tew days and for exactly the same period of time the site of injection remained slightly painful. The Smallest Effective Quantity. "The smallest quantity of the remedy which will affect the healthy hnman being is about .01 cubic centimetre, equal to 1 cubic centimetre of the one-hundredth dilu tion. As has been proved by numerous ex periments, when this dose is used reaction in most people shows itself only by slight pains in the limbs, and transient fatigue. A few showed a rise of temperature to about 38. "Although the effect of the remedy in eqnal doses is very different in animals and in human beings of calculated body weight, in some other qualities there is much simi larity in tbe symptoms produced, the most important of these resemblances being tbe specific action of the remedy on the tuber culous process, the varieties of which I will not here describe. The Really Important Feature. "I will make no further reference to its effect on animals, but I will at once turn to its extraordinary action on tuberculosis in human beings. The healthy human being reacts either not at all or scarcely at all, as we have seen when .01 cnbic centimetre is used. "The same holds good with regard to pa tients suffering from diseases other than tuberculosis as repeated experiments have proved, but the case is very di&erent when the disease is tuberculosis. A dose of .01 cubic centimetre injected sub-cnntaneously into the tuberculous patient caused a severe general reaction as well as a local one. "I gave children aged from 2 to 6 years one-tenth of the dose, that is to say .001 cnbic centimetres very delicate children only .0005 cubic centi metre and obtained powerfnl, but in no way dangerous reaction. The general reaction consists in an attack of fever, which usually begins with rigors and raises the temperature above 39, often up to 40 and even 41. Some of the Immediate Effects. "This is accompanied by vain in the limbs, coughing, great fatigne, and often sickness and vomiting. In several cases a slight icteroid discoloration was observed, and occasionally an eruption like measles on the chest and neck. The attack usually begins 4 or C hours after the injection, and lasts from 12 to 15 hours. Occasionally it begins later, and then runs its course with less intensity. "The patients are very little affected by the attack, and as soon as it is over feel comparatively well generally better than before. The local reaction can be best ob served in cases in which the tuberculous affection is risible, for instance, in cases where lupus changes take place, which show the specific anti-tnrberculous action ot the remedy to a most surprising degree. A Change In a Few Hours. "A few hours after injection into the skin ot the back that is, in a spot far removed from the diseased area on the face or else where the lupus begins to swell and to redden and this it does generally before the initial rigor. During the fever the swelling and redness increases and may finally reach a high degree, so that the lupus tissue be comes brownish and necrotic in places where the growth was sharply defined. "We sometimes found a much swollen and brownish spot surrounded by a whitish edge almost one centimetre wide, which again was surrounded by a broad band of bright red. After the subsidence of the fever the swelling of the Inpus tissue gradu ally decreases and disappears in about two or three days. The lupus spots themselves are then covered with a soft deposit, which filters outward and dries in the air. The growth then changes to a crust which falls off after two or three weeks and which some times after only one injection leaves a clean, red cecatrix behind. Several Injections Usually Required. "Generally,however,several injections are required for the complete removal of the lupus tissue; but of this more later on. I must mention as a point of special import ance that the changes described are exactly confined to the parts of the skin affected with lupus. Even the smallest nodules and those most deeply hidden in the lupus tissue go through the process and become visible in consequence of the swelling and change of color, while the tissue itself, in which the lupus changes have entirely ceased, remains unchanged. The observa tion of a lupus case treated by the remedy is so instructive and is necessarily so con vincing that those who wish to make a trial of the remedy should, if possible, begin with a case of lupus. The specific action of the remedy in these cases is less striking, but is as perceptible to the eye and touch as are the local reactions in cases of tubercu losis of the glands, bones, joints, etc Some of the Necessary Conclusions. "In these cases swelling, increased sensi bility and redness of the superficial parts are observed. The reaction of the internal organs, especially of the lungs, is not at once apparent, unless the increased cough and expectoration of consumptive patients after the first injections be considered as pointing to local reaction in these cases. The general reaction is dominant. "Nevertheless we are justified in assum ing that here, too, changes take place simi lar to those seen in lupus cases. The symp tt xns of reaction above described occurred without exception in all cases in which a turbercnlous process was present in the or ganism after aloss of 0.01 cubic centimetres, and I think I am justified in saying that the remedy will, therefore, in the future, form an indispensable aid to diagnosis. By its aid we shall be able to diacnose doubt ful cases of phthisis, for instance, cases in which it is impossible to obtain certainty as to the nature of the disease by the discovery of bacilli or elastic fiber in the sputum, or his physical examination. One of the Beneficent Features. "Affections of the glands attend tubercu losis of the bones, donbtful cases of tubercu losis of the skin and similar cases will be easily and with certainty recognized, in cases of tuberculosis of the lungs or joints which have been apparently cured, we shall be able to make sure whether the disease has really finished its course and whether there be still soms diseased spot from which ifp ytpywoi' PITTSBURG, it might again arise as a flame from a spark hidden by ashes. "The circumstances are somewhat differ ent in phthisical patients, who constituted the largest number of our patients. Patients with decided pulmonary tuberculosis are much more sensitive to the remedy than those with surgical, tuberculous affections. We were obliged to diminish the dose for the phthisical patients, and found that they almost all reacted strongly to O.002 cnbic centimetre and 0.001 cubic centimetre. An Increase in the Amount. "From this first small dose even it was possible to rise more or less quickly to the amount that is well borne by other patients. Our course was generally as follows: An injection of 0.001 cnbic centimetre was first given to the phthisical patient, and from this a rise of temperature followed, the same dose being repeated once a day until no reaction could be observed. We then increased the dose to 0.002 cubic centimetre, until this was borne without reaction, and so on, increas ing by 0.001 or at most 0.002 to 0.005 cnbic centimetre. This mild course Beemed to be imperative in cases in which there was great debility. By this mode of treatment the patient can be brought to tolerate large doses of the the remedy with scarcely a rise of temperature. But tbe patients of greater strength were treated from the first partly with larger doses and partly with frequent ly repeated doses. Here it seemed that tbe beneficial results were more quickly ob tained. The Action in Certain Cases. "The action of tbe remedy in cases of phthisis generally showed itself as follows: Cough and expectoration were generally in creased a little after the first injection, then grew less and less, and in the most favorable cases entirely disappeared. The expectora tion also lost its purulent character and be came mucous as a rnle. The number of bacilli decreased only when the expectora tion began to present a mucous appearance, they then entirely disappeared, but were again observed occasionally until expectora tion completely ceased. Simultaneously the nightsweats ceased, the patients' ap pearance improved and they increased in weight within from four to six weeks. "Patients under treatment for the first stage of phthisis were free from every symp tom of disease and might be pronounced cured, patients with cavities hot too highly developed improved considerably and were almost enred, and only in those whose lungs contained many large cavities conld no im provement be proved. Objectively, even in these cases, the expectoration decreased and tbe subjective condition improved. These experiences lead me to suppose that phthisis in the beginning can be cured with cer tainty by this remedy. This statement re quires limitation, in so tar as at present no conclusive experiences can possibly be brought forward to prove whether the cure is lasting. A Possibility of Relapses. "Relapses naturally may occur, bnt it can be assumed that they may be cured as early and quickly as the first attack. Oq the other hand, it seems possible, that, as in other infectaons diseases, patients once cured may retain theii immunity; bnt this, too, for the present, must remain an open question In part, this may be assumed for other cases when not too far advanced, bnt patients with large cavities who suffer from complications caused, for instance, by the incursion of, other pus-forming micro-organisms'IntV the cavities, or by Incurable pathological changes in other organ will probably obtain lasting benefit from the remedy in only exceptional cases. Even such patients, however, were benefited for a time. This seems to prove that in their cases, too, the original tuber culous disease is influenced by the remedy in the same manner as in the other cases, but that we are unable to remove the ne crotic masses of tissue with the secondary suppurative processes. "Of greater importance, however, than its diagnostic use, is the therapeutic effect of the remedy. In a description of the changes which a sub-cutaneous injection of the remedy produces in portions of the skin affected by Inpus, I mentioned that after the subsidence of the swelling and decrease of the redness the lupus tissue does not return to its original condition, but that it is de stroyed to a greater or less extent and dis appears. Changes in the Diseased Tissue. "Observation shows that on some parts this result is brought about by the diseased tissue becoming necrotic, even after but one sufficiently large injection, and at a later stage it is thrown off as a dead mass. In other parts a disappearance, or, as it were, a necrosis of the tissue seems to occur, and in such ca:e the injection must be repeated to complete the cure. "In what way this process of enre occurs cannot as yet be stated with certainty, as the necessary histological investigations are not complete. But this much is certain: That there is no question of a destruction of the tubercle bacilli in the tissues, bnt only that the tissue inclosing the tnbercle bacilli is affected by the remedy. Beyond this there is, as is shown by the visible swelling and redness, considerable disturbance of the circulation, and evidently in connection therewith, deeply seated changes in its nu trition which cause the tissue to die more or less quickly and deeply according to the extent of the action of the remedy. A Review of the Result. "To recapitulate, the remedy does not kill the tubercle bacilli bnt the tuberculous tissue, and this gives us clearly and definitely the limit that bounds the action of tbe remedy. It can influence living tuberculous tissue only, and has no effect on dead tissue, as, for instance, necrotic cheesy masses, necrotio bones, etc, nor has it any effect on tissues made necrotic by the remedy itself. "In such masses of dead tissue living tubercle bacilli may possibly still be pres ent, and are cither thrown off with the necrosed tissue, or may possibly enter the neighboring and still living tissue under certain circumstances of the tberapntic activity. If tbe remedy is to be rendered as fruitful as possible this peculiarity in its mode of action must be carefully observed. "At first the living tuberculous tissne mast be caused to undergo necrosis, and then everything mnst be done to remove the dead tissne as soon as possible, as, for in stance, by surgical interference. Where this is not possible, and where the organism is unassisted in throwing off tbe tissue slowly, the endangered living tissue must be protected from fresh incursions of the parasites by continuous applications of tbe remedy. A Peculiar Characteristic Explained. "The fact that tbe remedy makes tuber culous tissue nicrotic and acts only on the living tissue, helps to explain another peculiar characteristic thereof, namely, that it can be given in rapidly increasing doses. At first sight this phenomenon would seem to point to the establishment of tolerance, but since it is found that the dose can in the course of about three weeks be increased to Continued on Sixth PageJ, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1890 TWELVE BLAINE'S PET PLAN. The Secretary of State at Wort on a Reciprocity Eeport. KEEPIXG HIMSELF IN SECLUSION To All hut the Diplomats- From South American Republics. TEEATI WITH BRAZIL IS PREPARATION tFROH A STAFF COimESrOJTDEST.l Washington-, November 14. It is said that Secretary Blaine is hard at work upop- anannnal report, which will contain an elaborate review and further recommendar tions in the support of his pet scheme of international reciprooity, which will mpre than ever impress his personality on the public. He is secluding himself from the public to a great extent and is devoting nearly all hiu time to the work on his great plan, which, it is said, he believes will be the salvation of the party, and which will certainly make him the great man of the party, if it is snccessfnl. He. would prob, ably prefer the fame of having developed onr trade on the American continent and given a new impulse to our national pros perity to that ot being President and might not object to both. HOLDING DIPLOMATIC LEVEES. Within the past two weeks he has bad the east dining room at his house fitted up as an office and coasulting room, and many times a day he has received visits there from the diplomatic representatives of the Spanish American .Republics. He has denied him self to other (jailers and has devoted himself to conferences with these diplomats, and it may be assumed that these conferences have not been fruitless, since all parties to them have had practically the same object in view. The presence at Washington of Mr. Pit kin, Minister to the Argentine Republic, and Mr. Conger, Minister to Brazil, is not without significance. There are reasons why negotiations with the Argentine Fed eration might be conducted at Buenos Ayies, and this makes it important that our Minister theve should confer personally with the Secretary of State after having been in conference with the Argentine Government. The negotiations with Brazil have probably advanced further than with any of the others. Senhor Salvador de Mendonca, the Special Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to this country from Brazil, has gone to his capital, taking with him some important papers. He will be absent no longer than' is required for him to get there, hare a treaty signed and get back again. A TREATY WITH BRAZIL. Before Congress has been in session a month, the Senate will , probably have a treaty with Brazil to consider. The orogress of friendship and association with Peru and Columbia is satisfactory also, bnt Chili is not as cordial in its love of the United States as are some other Spanish American nations. In Cuba, there is a tremendous agitation of the question of reciprocity with the United States. Just what is the disposition at Madrid is yet to be found out. There has been a change of cabinet there and the new Spanish Minister here was presented to tbe President to-day. Tbe United States Minister to Spain, Mr. Grubb, is on his way to Madrid, having full instructions in his carpet bag. The Governor General of Cuba has called the Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, the Economic Society", the Union of Cigar Mannfacturers and the Board of Trade of Havana to thepalace and conveyed to them a communication from the Government at Madrid, asking them to send to Madrid, in union with the Chamber of Commerce at Santiago de Cuba, a delegate representing each body, to give the foreign office the views on the subject of negotiations for reciprecity with the United States and con fer on the subject ENTHUSIASTIC POIt RECIPROCITY. These commercial bodies will net upon this request, and throughont Cuba there is great enthusiasm in favor of reciprocity. A Havana paper, discussing the complaint of the Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs that the Havana commercial bodies were injuring the chance of making good terms with the United States in a treaty, by show ing their eagerness and the necessity for such a treaty, states that they cannot tell Mr. Blaine anything about the condition and needs of Cuba that he does not already know. It says Mr. Blaine is now better informed upon the snbject of Cuban industry, trade and commerce than is the Government at Madrid; that he possesses all the informa tion on the snbject that is to be bad and fully appreciates the situation. It says further that Mr. Blaine has in his power to practically destroy the Cuban sugar indus try. Lightner. A MINISTER'S DOWNFALL. In a Washington Police Court as an Habitual Drunkard. -SPECIAL THLEUniSI TO THE DISFATCB.l Washington, November 14. Melville C. Brereton, who has been occupying a room in the house of Dr. James E. Dexter, on C street, was arrested last night by Policeman Groffand locked up at the Sixth Precinct station on a charge of being an habitual drunkard. The prisoner was at one time a chaplain in the army and was also a lieutenant commander in the navy. It is also said that he was once the paster of a church in this city. This morning he appeared in the police court and pleaded guilty to the charge against him, "but if you let me go this time," he said, "I will "leave tbe city. I have made arrangements to go to Salfz burg, Pa., a prohibition town, and with your Honor's permission I will go to-day." Judge Miller told him that he had been before the Court before, and it would not do for him to go off and get drunk again and say he forgot to leave the city. The Judge added that he would give him the permis sion asked, and accepted his personal boad. SENATOB INGALLS HOPEFUL. Ho is Confident of Re-KIection and Quotes Scripture on nis Case. IBrBCIAI.

The De partment of State has received a dispatch from Itamdn O. Williams, Consul General at Havana, enclosiug a translation of the announcement in the official journal of the fact that the Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, Chairman of the Economic So ciety, Chairwau of the Tobacco Growers and Manufacturers' Association and the Chairman of the. Board of Sugar Planters of Havana, have been called to the Palace of .Instructions from Madrid, and requested to appoint a committee to go to Madrid and re port personally the views of these corpora tions upon the negotiation of a reciprocity treaty with the United States. Mr. Williams also encloses the transla tion of an editorial from La Lucha, a lead ing paper ot Havana, regarding the action of the Spanish Cabinet at Madrid as follows: Air. Canovas del Castillo, according to tbe telegrams received from onr agent in Madrid, considers the petitions addressed him from this island asking for tho negotiation of a treaty of commerco with the United States as Imprudent because tending to encourage the Yankees to be tbe more exacting. It would seem almost incredible for the Premier of the Spanish Cabinet to discourse in such a man ner. Can Sir. Canovas believe that it is possi ble to hide from tho United States the gravity of the crisis brought on by the new tariff of tho great Republic T The United States is admira bly acquainted with everything relating to this island. They know its economic, financial and political condition in a most exact manner. Even the geography and topography of Cuba are known in the United States much more than can perhaps be supposed. A highly respected gentleman has said that in tbe offices of the Federal Government there exist data with refcrenco to the cost of the island, showing that its most important parts have been surveyed and sonnded. Mr. Blaine, the present Secretary of State, is just as well informed of the affairs of Cuba as if he lived and labored among ns, or had lived on the island many years. Our export and import trade, the state of our agricultural, commercial and Indnstrial wealth, yield of our customs, are all known to Blaine. The exposition of the Cnamber of Commerce ot Havana and Santiago de Cuba, the report of the Cigarmakcra' Union and the opinions of the Havana press upon the great questions now agitating us are all read in Washington a few days after being printed in this city. Moreover, tbe Secretary of State does not even have to order the trans lation of those documents, because they are sent to him from here already translated. Blaine knows everything. He already possesses that which onr Govern ment is in want of. namely, facts and data demonstrative of the real straits of our com mercial relations with the United States. Has not a recent telegram published by us from Madrid told us that the Government has re quested the Spanish Consols in the United States to furnish it with Information of the same kind? The statistical information in tbe possession of iilaine is of so decisive and ful minating a character as to enable him to say to Spain, "Accede, agree, as is just to my policy of commercial reclDrocity, or I will sins: tbe sugar plantations of Cuba." And the day .of our prime industry, that of sugar plant inn is lost, all the minor industries mil be lost wiyi " Oar railroads, onr banks, our great commercial houses, our professions, onr In dustry, all live and flourish because we plant cane, make sugar and sell it to the United States, iilaine knows all this, and acts accord ingly. What does Mr. Canovas wish? That weshonld not talk so plain? Tbatwesball mutely cross onr arms? Tbatwesball quietly stand before the wave of misery now threatening to swallow us in its depths? No people, unless degraded and debased, can resign itself to lose, along with its wealth and happiness, its culture and civilization. Our campaign had to be under taken, and we have realized its ideal publicly and in the light of day. Our clamors are loud and energetic, though not so much as we would -wish, for the danger threatening tig aro great and imminent. Take heed. Mr: Canovas.

Mgmttfi . PAGES. BRUIN'S FATAL RIDE. A Bear, Struck by a. Train, Travels Safely on the Cowcatcher A DISTANCE OF SEVERAL MILES, Only to ho Hunted to Death at the Con clusion of His Journey. WHOLE TILLAGE AFTER THE BEAST IKPECIALTELEOnAM TO TUB DISPATCH.I Olcut Bun, Pa., November 14. This afternoon as the .Warren accommodation train on the Eldred and Southeast Branch Bailroad was passing through Wilder's Cnt, a deep and narrow passage through the rocks ten miles east of this station, En gineer Dan Elwood was surprised to see a bear coming into the cut at the west end, only 20 yards away. The bear appeared suddenly around the edge of the rocks and stopped on the track facing the engine. It seemed paralyzed at the sight of the locomo tive rushing toward it, and stood motionless until the engine was almost upon it, when it raised up on its hind feet. The train was running about 15 miles an hour through the cut, and instantly on see ing the bear on the track, tbe engineer shut down the steam. The distance between the train and the bear was too short for the speed of the train to be reduced much, and the pilot plowed under the bear, the sharp point passing between the animal's wide spread legs. This quickly threw the hind part of the bear ahead, and tbe animal fell with his forepaws and npper patt of his body forward on the cowcatcher. BRUIN TAKES A BIDE. Engineer Elwood put on steam again, and his fireman climbed out ot the cab window and ran along tbe gnard rail to the front of the engine and peeped around to see what had become of the bear. Bruin was lying on his stomach against the cowcatcher, his head nearly tonching the headlight. Both hind feet were safely planted between the lower bars of the pilot, one on each side of the tip, and bis forelegs were tightly hug ging the bars at the top. The collision had evidently not done any injury to the bear. It was plain that he did not intend to take any chances by vol untarily getting off the cowcatcher while the train was in motion, and be was guard ing himself well against being thrown off; so the engineer conclnded that he would run bruin into Olcut and trust to Inck tor the subsequent proceedings. Station Agent Dick Jacobs stood in the depot door at this place when the train came rolling in, and the sight of a bear clinging to tbe cowcatcher had such an effect on him that he stood as though rooted to the spot, gazing with open mouth and eyes at the extraordinary spectacle. As soon as the train stopped, the bear saw that its opportunity to escape safely from its perilous position had come, and it dropped off the cowcatcher and made a break for liberty. AN EXCITING BEAR HUNT. As the bear left the engine. Elwood began to shout lor somebody to get a gnn. The advance of the bear aroused Jacobs to the situation, and he rushed into the depot, slammed the door shut, dashed out of the rear door and tore up Dorr street, shouting! "Bear! Bear! Bear!" at the top of his lungs. In the meantime the bear, with Elwood and his fireman at his beels, ran across the street, jumped on one end of the long piazza of Long's Hotel, turned into Cady street and hurried away in the direction of Cady Creek, which runs along the eastern edge of the village. A crowd quickly gathered and followed thebear, yelling and pelting the poor beast with stones. The bar had gone but ashort distance down Cady street, when John Cameron's big shepherd dog bounded out of the yard and boldly pitched into bruin. There was a lively fight for a minnte, which resulted in the death of the dog. The bear then hurried on toward the creek, but at the corner of Cady and Water streets Lawyer Giles Beers met him with a double barreled rifle. The bear turned, on being confronted by Beers and the gun, and ran down tbe narrow alley leading to Gully's livery stable. BRUIN MAKES A GOOD FIGHT. The alley ends at the stable, and the bear found bis furtber flight suddenly cnt off. Beers followed the bear down the alley and tbe yelling crowd followed Beers. Bruin, finding that he was brought to bay, backed himself against the barn, raised on his haunches, and awaited his foes. Beers sent two bullets into the animal's .breast. The bear dropped to his feet and charged on Beers and the crowd, blood pouring from his wounds in streams. The crowd scurried back through the alley and, in tne rusn, John uarmody, 12 years old, was thrown down and trampled on, one ol his legs being broken. Beers managed to slip another cartridge in his gun before the bear reached him, and sent it clean through tne animal's bead, killing the bear in its tracks. The bear weighed 300 pounds. It was not until the bear had been killed that Engineer Elwood and his fireman remembered that a trainload of pas sengers were at the depot waiting for them to carry them the rest of their journey. The two railroad men were in at the death of the bear they had brought in on their cowcatcher.bnt, as tbe train was held nearly 20 minutes at the station while the chase was going on, the chances are that the bear hunt will be a dear one to the engineer and fireman.

At 7:30 this morn ing a terrific explosion of dynamite took place at the Caster stoue quarry, situated on tbe southwestern edge of this city across the rnn from the driving park. Three men were blown to atoms and four others were injured.

The third man, Archie Buri,;, was just going into the building when the explosion took place. George Fisher and Henry Wisekopf were the men preparing the blast. Fisher was hurled in the air 50 feet. His arms and legs were blown off, and all that was left was the blackened trunk. Wise kopf was blown fully 200 feet, and clear over the quarry to the east side His head was blown from his body, and was not dis covered unlil this afternoon, when it was found in a field with hogs rooting it around. His clothes were all torn off and his arms and legs were missing. To illustrate the force of the explosion, it can be seen that the soles of his shoes were torn off, and his trunk was horribly torn and blackened. Burkett's body was the least mutilated of the three, but his arms and one leg were torn away. Burkett was a young man with relatives at Decatur, Ind., and had only been here for a short time. Fisher was married and leaves a wife and two children, and Wise kopf leaves a wife and four children. Both families are left destitute. Jacob Custer, the proprietor, and several other workmen were iu tbe bottom of the quarry working at the time of the explo sion. George Fisher, a nephew of the man who was killed, was struck on the head by the flying debris, and badly injured. Samuel Watt was hit on the chin by a stone and knocked senseless. William Houk had his shoulder dislocated, and Abraham Kiplever had his hand and arm badly hurt. The' Coroner viewed the re mains ofthe' men who were killed, as the pieces ha3 been gathered up by an ambu lance and taken to his establishment, where they were made as presentable as possible for burial. The injured men are all doing well this evening, and will likely re cover. The blast was composed of 75 pounds No.1 Hercules powder,60 percent dynamite, and 25 pounds of giant powder.

Capture of a Seven-Tear-Old Italian Cracks man in Boston. ISPECIAL TELEORAJt TO THE DISPATCH.1 Boston, November 14. A 7-year-old burglar is an oddity, even in this age of freaks, bnt that was the age of a little Italian caught on Doane street by Patrol man Brown abont 1 o'clock this morning. The officer noticed three boys ahead of him, and thinking they were bunking ont, asked them where they lived. The lads started to run, but the little fellow was captured. He acted so suspiciously that the policeman questioned him closely, and upon searching his pockets fonnd harmonicas, quite a number of toy watches and two purses. He said these bad been given to him by his companions, but he would not tell where tbey got them; so, after ascertaining that his name was Pasqnale, he was taken to his home. This morning Patrolman Leary discov ered a broken window in tbe store of A. C. Voce, on Hanover street, and from the show window were missed a number of articles similar to those found in tbe boy's pocket. This morning tbe child confessed that he and his companions broke the window with a brick and stole the goods, but he main tained that he had taken but a passive part in the affair. He refuses to tell the names of his companions.

Jameson's Widow Makes Public Her Husband's Late Writ ten Statement DEFENDING HIS CHARACTER Against the Charge of Cannibalism Brought by Assad Faran. NOTHING GAINED CI THE LETTEB, A3 It Practically Confirms the Terribls Accusations AND MAKES AlATTEES STILL W0RSK 1BT DITSLAr'S CABLE COMPANT.I London, November 14. The following letter has been written by Mrs. Jameson, together with the enclosures which are re ferred to in it: "As the Emin Pasha Belief Committee appears to consider the duty of publishing my late husband's refutation of tbe cruel charges made against him by Assad Faran (which charge, long ago withdrawn, Mr. Stanley has now thought fit to bring for ward), devolves upon me, I present the doenments annexed, consisting of a Jetter of my husband to Sir William Mackinnon on August 3, 1888. so far as it relates to this horrible charge and Assad Faran's retrac tion, dated September 28, 1888. "I will only add that my poor husband died within a fortnight after the date of his letter, therefore he had no opportunity ot taking further steps to clear his character, which he at that time contemplated. Tours faithfully, Ethel Jameson. JAMESON'S -WRITTEN STORY. The following is the part of the letter re ferring to the cannibal story written by Mr. Jameson at Stanley Falls, August 3, 1888: IVm. McKlnnon, Esq., President of the Com g it tee or the hmin 1'asb.i lteller Expedition: "Sir As you will see by Major Barttelot's letter, Assad Faran, the dismissed Arabic interpreter, has written the most false and cruel statements about me after leaving Yambuya camp. As an officer of this expe dition, it is my bounden duty to clear my character from such statements. I will tell you now the simple narrative of the whole matter, whicb, much as it shocked me at the time, I little dreamed could be turned to snch use against me. My whole time since my arrival here has been taken up with the affairs of the expedition, and I have not had a moment to get the necessary papers signed by the witnesses of everything mentioned by Assad Faran, before a Belgian officer, as I mean to do and forward them to you. "Tbe facts of the case are these: On my return journey from Kasongo, the day after onr arrival at Biba Biba, the chief sent for me. On arriving at his house I witnessed a very curious dance performed by some Wacasn slaves. He informed me that thse people, having had a number of deaths among them, had gone away into the bush for two months, where no one had seen them, and returned to-day, having finished their medicine meeting. SACRIFICE OF THE SLATE GIRL. "Tippoo Tib, who was at tbe house, said: 'This dance is generally followed by a lot of people being eaten,' and be told me a lot of cannibal stories. I laughed, saying: 'Since I have been in the country I have heard many such stories, but I do not be lieve tbem.' Another Arab present, who had been very kind to me on my way to Kasongo, told me another horrible story, which I told him flatly I did not believe could happen in any country in the world. He, laughing, said: 'Give me a bit of cloth and see.' I only thought this was another of their plans for getting something out of me, and having some cloth of my own, as he had been kind to me, I sent my boy for a small piece ot six handkerchiefs, which I gave him. "Then followed tbe most horrible scene I ever witnessed in my life. Assad Faran even here cannot help lying. The whole thing happened so quickly that had I wished I could not have sketched it. I had nothing with me to sketch with, they all be ing in my house. The girl never looked for help. She seemed to know what was her fate, and never stirred hand or foot or head, except when she had to move to the place of execution. How the girl was obtained I do not know, hnt I will send you all particu lars signed by the witnesses as promised." DENOUNCING ASSAD FAEAN. Here follow a few lines respecting personal and famiiy matters. The letter then con tinues: "Assad Faran openly boasted he had swindled the English Government out of 300 in hiring camel drivers at Suakim. He told me on the road to Kasongo he had had a good chance there. When I asked him what it was, he told me that whoever was then in command had stopped all gambling, bnt be knew the places where It still went on, and that if he found any soldier inclined to gamble, with plenty of money, he used to take him to one of these places and watch who won the most; then he would slip ont, get a policeman and point out the man; the policeman catching the man with tbe money, and Assad and he dividing the spoils. "I told Assad he was nothing better thaa a low informer and a thief, and an English man or American would lynch him. It is a low brute like this whose word the Bel gian officers take, and who is allowed to de stroy my character. "T will write you more fully on this snb ject when sending yon the necessary papers. "James 8. Jameson." The following is the copy of Assad Faran's retraction of the statements made to tbe Belgian officers regarding the cannibal story, but he subsequently repeated it to Mr. Stanley under oath on March 4, 1890, at Cairo: "25th September, 1888. "I, As3ad Faran, lately interpreter with tbe Emin Pasha Belief Expedition, declare most solemnly that tbe story of Mr. Jame son buying a girl has been altogether mis understood by the missionary at Lntele. The story is entirely untrue. Buch a charge against Mr. Jameson I declare to be un founded. "Tbe six handkerchiefs given by Mr. Continued on Sixth Pane.
