'MISSISSIPPI INUNDATED.
Rivers Over Their Banks and a Bigii‘lood
Threatened—Reported Fatalities.
WEST POINT, Miss, April 8.—Thc danger
of a big flood 'is increasing. The Tibbee,
'Squawnchie and Towu creeks are higher
'than ever known. Many houses have been
washed away and four colored families are
reported drowned. The Tombigbee river is
above all previous high water marks, over-
flowing its banks, the water spreading out
over the country on either side, doing great
damage. Railroad tracks have been washed
out for miles all over the state, and innu-
merable bridges have been carried away.
Bridges Washed Away.
CARROLTON, Miss, April 8.—It has been
raining for three days and the damage done
is incalculable. The Georgia Pacific has had
five bridges destroyed. No trains have
passed over the road since Monday. The
iron bridge across the ,Big Sandy at this
place was washed away. It will be at least
a week before railroad trains will be run.
Corn will have to be replanted.
Aberdeen Under “'ater.
ABERDEEN, Miss, April 8,—The river
here has overflowed its banks for the first
time in many years. Several streets in the
city are already submerged, and the people
are greatly alarmed. It is still raining, and
unless a change for the better occurs soon
the damage will be almost incalculable.
Seven Lives Almost Lost.
OTTUMWA, 1a., April 8.+High water has
swept away one span of the new $75,000
bridge being built across the Des Moines
river. Seven workmen went down with
the timbers, and were only rescued with
great difficulty, all being badly injured.
THE COURTS T0 DECIDE IT.
Connecticut’s Disputed Secretaryship of
State Case Dockcted for Trial.
NEW HAVEN, April 8.—Judge John M.
Stall, of the superior court, has decided the
demurrer of the defendant in the quo war-
ranto suit of John J. Phelen versus R. Jay
Walsh, for the ofiice of secretary of state,
overruling it and thus placing the case on
the docket for a trial on the ' issue of the
facts. The demurrer was practically a plea
to the jurisdiction of the court alleging that ~
as the legislature has not yet adjourned, the
power of declaring the election of either
candidate for the office was yet in the hands
of the general assembly and not within
reach of the courts.
Judge Hall, interpreting the decision of
the supreme court in the Morris-Bulkeley
case and applying it to. the present suit,
says that the general assembly has refused
to make a declaration, and has persisted in
the refusal since the decision of the supreme
court was rendered, and that the courts as
a co-ordinate branch of the government ca
now perform their functions. . -

SAN . FRANCISCO, April 8.—One of the
rarest and most delicate surgical operations
ever performed in this city was that to
which A. Baehm, a patient at the city and

scope, ' or small electric light, was thrust
into the thoracic cavity, and in the illu-
mination the‘action of the heart and lungs
was plainly visible. :

MELBOURNE, April 8.——The jury investi-
gating into the death of Mrs. Deeming, who
was murdered at her home at Windsor, a
suburb of this city, returned a verdict of
willful murder against her husband. Deem-
ing today shows the same characteristics
that have marked him since his arrest. The
verdict does not affect him in the least, and
he is defiant and insolent and appears ut-
terly without conscience and equally devoid
of fear. Those who have studied him close-
ly, however, think that his conduct is mere
bravado, and that when he finds the noose
tightening about his neck he will become
an abject coward.
All his known murders have been of wom-
en and children, and though it is said that
he has killed men, every one believes that if
he has he has done it through treachery,
striking them from behind in the dark.
Every dayevidence comes to light to show
the character of the man, and it is a matter
of surprise, cunning though he was, that he
should have pursued his career of crime so
long undetected. A man who worked with
Deeming ten years ago stated that he was
then known among his fellow workers as a
vindictive and treacherous character, and
that he went by the nickname of “the
demon.”
Deeming’s Mysterious Career.
LONDON, April 8.—A dressmaker of Lon-
don has identified the portrait of Deeming
as that of a man who, in the autumn of 1888,
was paying attention to her with a view to
matrimony. He showed great excitement
over the Ripper murders, of which several
were perpetrated in that year, and left her
company a few hours before the murder of
Mrs. Chapman, whose body was found in
Hanbury street, Whitechapel, on the morn-
ing-of Sept. 8, 1888, she having been ,mur-
dered the previous night. Several Ripper
murders occurred about that time in rapid
succession, the list of those mysterious
crimes having begun in Christmas week of
the previous year, 1887, with the killing of
an unknown woman near Osborne and
Wentworth streets, Whitechapel. If the
dressmaker is as correct as she is positive in
her recollection, Deeming was in London
during the autumn of 1888, when several of
the murders occurred.
0n the 7th of August, in that year, Martha
Turner was found dead, with thirty-nine
stab wounds, on a landing in the model
dwellings known as George Yard buildings,
Commercial street, Spitalfields. On Aug.
31 another woman, belonging also to the
unfortunate class and known as Mrs. Nich-
0115, was murdered and mutilated in Buck’s
row, Whitechapel. Then, on Sept. 7, came
the murder, with which the dressmaker
connects Deeming. Mrs: Chapman was the
fourth victim, and her body was found after
daylight on the morning of Sept. 8. Her
- throat had been. cut from ear to ear and
the body cut open as if by a dissector. The
heart lay on the ground and a portion of
the remains had been tied around the neck.
Like the Other women killed, she was a
dissolute character and lived in a wretched
and densely populated part of. the city.
There never was any doubt that her mur-
der was committed by the same man who
had perpetrated the other three, the vic-
tims all having been killed by a knife in an
identical manner. The police, it is well
known, were signally unsuccessful in their
efforts to detect the criminal.
He May Prove the Ripper.
The dressmaker says that the time Deem-
ing left her company on the evening of
Sept. 7 was about an hour before the time
at which the medical testimony at the in-
quest indicated that the‘ Chapman woman
was probably murdered. A few days after
the crime the man she believes was Deem-
ing disappeared, and she never saw him
again.
The Chronology of Deeming’s record, so
far as ascertained, agrees with the dress-
maker’s story. t is as follows: Frederick
Bailey Deeming marries Miss Mary James
leaves England for Cape Town, 1880. Deem-
ing joined by his wife (now identified as
Mary James) in Sydney, 1882. Deeming re-
ceived six weeks’ imprisonment for theft
1882. Absconds from Sydney on a charge of
fraudulent insolvency, 1880. Returns to
England (Aug. 11) and to Birkenhead, leav-
ing that place and his wife after the birth
of his fourth child, about four months after-
ward, 1889.
Deeming returned from South Africa in
the spring of 1890. He had a formidable
assortment of knives. Samuel Mercer, oi
Rainhill, who was well acquainted with
Deeming, says: “Deeming represented him
self to me to be a military man, and said
he had ‘fourteen scars on him.’ He Went
on to tell very glibly as to the engagement:
and hand-tO—hand encounters which he had
would not call himself a soldier altogether,
although he had said that he ‘had been
under fire.’
“Deeming showed me various weapons,
including swords, knives, spears and an as-
segai, which he said he had got from Zulu-
land. He particularly dwelt on a very
handsome sword, which was adorned with
silver anda band of gold, and which he said
he had ‘foughttwo hours for.’ He next
showed me a beautiful knife, with a sheath
of woven silver wire, and said it had be
longed 'to Cetewayo.”
The opinion that Deeming committed
several Of the Ripper murders is strength-
ened in public opinion by the dressmaker’é
statement, and the police are becoming
active in the case.

THE NEW SCIENCE,
HOW BACTERIOLOGY ‘HAS ADDED TO
THE WORLD’S KNOWLEDGE.
It Has Solved “'ondorful Problems for
Chemists—Millions of Annuals Saved
by Inoculation—Pastenr’s 537520“:—
A Revolution in Medical Science.
During the present century the
scientific world has watched the
growth of an entirely new branch of
knowledge, the fundamental princi-
ples of which have been elucidated by
workers is many different divisions of
natural knowledge, by chemists, phy-
sicists, botanists, zoologists and phy-
sicians. The elementary facts of “the
new science ” having been discovered,
the new data threw a flood of light on
the whole field of science, and re-
sults of immense practical value were
the immediate outcome of discoveries
which at first appeared to be of theo-
retical interest only.
It is a well-establised fact that a
man who has once suffered from a
given infectious disease is, for a. time
at least, proof against that same dis-
ease. A child, for instance, which
has had small-pox, scarlet fever,
typhoid or measles will not again for
some timefibe susceptible to 'any of
these infections. Pasteur, guided by
this fact, and knowing that even a
mild attack is a protection, concluded
that if it were possible to give an ani-
mal a modified form of a specific
malady caused by a specific microbe,
the animal would be in future proof
against the attacks of the same micro-
organism. '
After investigating the subject for
a long time he succeeded in vaccinat-
disease produced by a specific micro-
organism. He discovered that an old
culture of these microbes injected
into fowls gave rise to very slight
symptoms only; that the fowls soon re-
gained their health, and after recovery
resisted the action of the most virulent
bacilli. the injection of which would
otherwise have proved fatal. Turn-
ing his attention to anthrax, Pasteur,
in 1881. published his method _of
"vaccinating” animals against this
disease. Anthrax chiefly attacks
sheep, but not unfrequently proves
fatal also to horned cattle, horses and
man, and is one of the great scourges
in France and other countries, more
especially Russia and Australia.
Since Pasteur’s discoveries, agrio
culturists have learned. the value of
preventive inoculation against
anthrax, and have extensively ap-
plied this method. In France, for in-
stance, more than 2,500,000 sheep, 320,-
.000 head of horned cattle and 2,861
horses have been inoculated with
vaccine, prepared in the Paris Insti-
tute. The same institute in, 1888-1889
sent out material for the inoculation
of 1,000 elephants in India, and some
years ago the British government
sent several native gentlemen to Paris
to learn the way of preparing the
anthrax vaccines. '
The Russian government has estab-
lished in several parts of the empire
institutes where “vaccines ” are spe-
cially prepared. The Austrian gov-
ernment has resolved to found a simi-
lar institute, and lately sent to Paris
one of its most eminent scientific men,
Prof. Weichselbaum, for the express
purpose of learning the necessary ma-
nipulations. The system was intro-
duced two years ago into Tasmania,
and during the last Congress of Hy-
giene Mr. Park, head of the Veterina- .
ry Department of Tasmania, repeat-
edly assured me of its efficacy.
In England inoculations have been
carried out with marked success by
Prof. Pemberthy, of the Royal Veter-
inary College, who, in a lettter, tells
me that “ the process is most easy of
adoption,” and that “Pasteur’s system
has so far proved the best method of
protecting animals against anthrax.”
It has been proved that bacteriology
is the direct outcome, not of one
branch of knowledge only, but of .all
the divisions of natural science, bio-
logy, Chemistry and others. But
during its growth even, it shed the
greatest light on the sciences of which
it is and offshoot.
The first step in bacteriology was
made through chemical investiga-
tions; but, on the other hand, see
What the new science has done for
chemistry. It has solved for chemists
some of the chief problems connected
with putrefaction and fermentation—5
problems which were previously in a.
state of hopeless obscurity. Through
bacteriology chemists have learned
that each kind of specific fermentation
is due to a specific micro-organism,
which, placed under definite condi-
tions, produces definite chemical sub-
stances, and in this manner bacter-
iologists have discovered substances
the existence of which chemists did
not even Suspect. -- '-
Have not bacteriologists also revo-
Lutionized botanical methods by new
modes of cultivating micro-organ-
isms; by showing that every colony
of microbes has its own particular
aspect; by improved methbds of
staining, so that previously invisible
bacteria are now easily seen; by in-
venting photographio processes of
such delicacy that structures invisible
to the naked eye are now readily per-
ceived in the plate; and by enriching
the flora with countless new genera
previously unknown?
The men to whose genius we owe
the “new science ”'were merely seek-
ing for the truth, and had no practi-
cal object in view, but gradually»
gained this useful knowledge through
experiment—physical, chemical and
physiological. Hundreds of. human
lives saved from death through Pas-
teur’s treatment ; thousands of human
beings restored to health every year
through perfected systems of medi-
cine and surgery; millions of animals
protected against infectious disease,
edge gained by experiments on ani-
mala—The Nineteenth Century. "

PARIS, April 8.—Lebastard and Favre’, .
two of the anarchists arrested on suspicion
.of being engaged in 'dynamite outrages,
have been released. The pretext given is
that there is no evidence against them. It
is understood, however, that the real cause
of their release is that they have furnished
valuable information to the authorities in
regard to the anarchist plots, and that they _,
are turned loose in order to enable them to
ascertain more facts about the plans of

sacre. A machine loaded with explosives
has been found in the house of a manufac-
turer at Fourmies. It was fortunately dis-
covered before any damage was done. At

sive, and today the building took fire. With
the object apparently of drawing the firemen
away from the burning building falsealarms
were sent across the wires and missiles were
“Town at the firemen while they were at

curred, adding to the anxiety and excite-
ment of the public. Both fires were extin-
guished with much difficulty.

Soon.” _ Why hurry with the hurrying
world? The “pretty soon” of New
Spain is, better than the “Now!
Now!” of the haggard States. The

day-long noon would not be broken.

New Mexico is the anomaly of the-

several centuries older still in a hap-
pier semi-civilization of its own. :It‘
had its little walled cities of stone be-

be; and it has them yet. The most
incredible pioneering the world has
ever seen overran ' it with the zeal of
fifty years ago; and the embers or
that unparalleled blaze of exploration.-
are not quite dead to-day. The most
‘ superhuman marches, the most awful .
privations, the most devoted hero-
ism, the most unsleeping vigilance'
wrested this bare, brown land 'to
the world; and-having wrested it,
went to sleep. The winning was
the wakefullest in history—the

Indians Idea. of Household Economy.
An Indian came into camp one
night and offered a beautiful blanket
for sale. He wanted $25 for it, and
while it was a marvel of curious beau-
ty, the officers thought they could
make the trade with $10. They offered
that amount over and over, but the.
savage declined, wrapping himself up
in it at last and striding out of cam .
But he came back just before be§~
time and took the $10 in great appar-
ent hurry. He disappeared with. the
money, mounted his pony, and gal-
loped away.
Early in' the morning he came back
before: half {the men were astir. He
had another‘filpnket which he wanted
to sell. It waif neither new or very.
handsome. Noifone seemed to want‘
it. The Indian, through the inter-
preter, begged for a customer on the
grougd‘that he needed the money to
buy tidbit for his children. .
“WhydOn’t you buy flour with the
$10 you got last night?” demanded
the captain. -
“All gone,” said the Indian, sadly.
“Gone where?” in some surprise.

“ Where did you 1th this blaket?”

Honiton Luge.
The utter disappearanoe of genuine
Honiton lace was imminent some ten
years ago. The long and minute
labor of the human fingers could not
compete with the cheap, rapid opera-
tions of the marvelous machinery in
the Nottingham factories; the. num-
ber of women who were versed in the
old secret of .Honiton lacemaking
began to diminish year by year, ‘ and
Honiton town itself was already
almost as , little associated practi-
cally with lacemaking as is Wor-
stead with the woolen manufac-
ture, or Axminster with that
of carpets, orStilton with that, of
cheeses. Then the "Devonshire ladies
came forward ;' ~ lacémaking became
fashionable in elegant drawing-rooms;
classes Were ~ formed for the teachipg
of the young idea, and a great impetus
was given by the annual offer of prizes
by the industrial section‘of' the Bath
and West: of England Agricultural
Society; These combined efforts have
resulted in an" active resuscitation of
a beautiful industry, and although-
the town of ,Honitgn‘ itself is no
longer the centre, the lace now made
and still bearing the famous _ old
name is pronounced 'to be quite equal?
to the product of the'palmy days of
the past. *Chambers’s Journal.
Ingenious Mulch-Making.
A clever‘society woman," who has
married .off six daughters in a most
satisfactory manner, says the secret
of her success lay in the fact that she
never opposed her daughters in any
fancy they might entertain for any
impecunious and ineligible suitor.
“That is just the way to make them
crazy about a man,” she says, “ N o,
indeed; I was Wiser than that. If ,
one of my daughters liked some y
who was undesirable, I made .a po nt
of thrusting his society upon her. I
had him to dinner, I had him to‘
luncheon. I had him at my house
every time I could possiblyarrango
it, and I took care every time he came -
to put him in some ridiculous position
before he left. That "was enough.
No girl admires- a man who makes
himself ridiculou‘sfin society. I never
had any further ".ttcublo.”—Bostonv
