"At one time Hoston declared to be the northern limit of it, and peared shi of | wardly. I country was equaly considered free from it, and now it has made its appearance there, The question naturally arises asto the cause. A good many answers to this question are given, but they are mostly of a lative character, President yarne, of Williams college, has written a letter in which he affirms that no answer is possible. The theory which once prevailed, which he had tanght, “that malarial poison is the result of vegetable decom- position, especially the decomposition pro- duced by stirring soils rich in organic materials, so that the soil can readily be acted upon by heat and sunshine;” needs, he now believes, from observations in various districts, to be itly modified. “Any one,” he says, “who as studied the subject in the west, will satisfy himeelf that malaria abounds where water i@oo sain | scarce for comfort: where, ifthe malaria comes from the soil at all, it must come from soil that ishigh and dry. He will be further confirmed in the notion that neither abundant water nor rich soil even is essential to the production of this malaria, when he finds it in the Rocky mountains, where the few streams flowing from melting snow are as pure as our New England trout-brooks, while most of the soil fs poor in or ‘ic matter, as it must be where little be- sides the sage-brush can grow. It is certain, therefore, that we have malaria in some places that are high and dry, where the soils are well drained and not highly charged with organic matter.” Its unusual prevalence in New Eng: land and other portions of the Atlantic border can not, he thinks, be satisfactorily accounted for. Its origin and dissemination are as myste- vious as potato-rot and other bughte which de- stroy vegetation, er as an epizooty among horses, which come without any known cause, run their course, and then disappear as myste- riously as they come. The yearly progress is eastward and northward; but President Chad- bourne thinks that in formertimes it “‘undoubt- edly prevailed to some extent where its pres- ence was not suspected. Now that attention is generally called to the subject. the physician recognizes the effects of malaria where they formeriy would have remained unnoticed, or would have been referred to some other cause. Admitting that the origin of malaria can not be accurately determined, there are two circum- stances in recent phases of our social life that may in part account forthe greater prevalence of the fever arising from it. Summer pleasur- ing is one of the circumstances to which we re- fer. Almost everybody now travels in the sum- mer months, or changes his residence during that period. The seashore, the mountains, the valleys, are all crowded with people from’ the cities and towns; and, as these people are unac- climated, as their habits are not so judicious as those of permanent residents, exposing them- selves continuously to night air and hot suns, sickness ‘very common among them. Every I Saline in the large cities knows how many families that have gone to spend the sum- mer in the country return in September ill with fever. A great-many cases ofmalaria that have falien under the writer's observation have been contracted in this way. The stranger in any section is naturally much more susceptible to Jocal influences than those who have always lived there, and hence malarial fever may very natnrally appear among strangers in places where it has scarcely been known before. An observing countryman once said to the writer: “We never get fever and ague, but city people who come here are continually falling sick with it. They are fond of moonlight rides and moonlight sails, and night air, everybody but city people knows, is bad for the health.” It is certain that fever is frequently contracted by town-people in country places, and it is just possible that the apparent spread of malaria may be largely due to this fact. A great many people in the city of New York are suffering from it, and we do not know a case of malaria occur- ring in the older part of the town that did not have its origin in the way we have mentioned. The gther circumstance to which we referred is the ‘greatly increased use of ice-water. This will probably strike many persons at first as simply fantastic, but there are some good scouts for the theory. Every one is aware of he disagreeable flavor of ice when melted, and has detected in it the evident presence of Frozen water seems to hold particles or substances which do not obviously affect the taste when the water is ice-cold, but which become nt as soon as the tempera- tore Is helghtenea. Whether thisearthy matter ig unwholesome or not must fet ee upon its character; and this is exclusively within the province of the chemist to determine. We wish simply to suggest the possibility that malarial poison may lurk in ice-water, in view of a recent occurrence in England. In 1879 a sanitary commission was rs Sap by Parliament to in- quire into the water-supply in many urban dis- tricts in England. Some significant facts were elicited by the commission. In alittle village in Yorkshire the health of the inhabitants had aiways been good, and especially free from z: motic disease, until, owing to a failure of the water-supply, the vil were forced to make use of the ice which had collected on a little stream on the outskirts of the village. They melted the ice and used it for drinking pur- pees and shortly afterward a low malarial fever me prevalent. Of course, it can be said that this was probably due to the character of the water in the stream, and of this fact the re- port does not speak. We have had instances in this country of sickners oka pee by the use of impure ice; it needs, indeed, no parliamentary commission to convince us that impure ice is unwholesome. But the apprehension excited by the report is, that ice supposed to be pure may contain the seeds of malarial poison. Another instance cited by the commission does not affect the question of ice, but of the quality of water in use; it may, however, as well be mentioned. A number of troops stationed at Dover obtained their water-supply from artesian wells, but, the supply falling short, they were obliged to draw from a source outside the town— one which troops stationed without the town had been somunomed to depend upon. It had always been noted that troops stationed out- side of the city were subject to malarial fever, while the troops within the city escaped; but no sooner did the latter begin the water usually furnished the form<z, than fever broke out amons them. This simply shows, as far as Je pee, Sa took ot pare and im water; and, as change of is disturbing to many sons, ourarmy of summer travelers may often y the seeds of malarial fever by snaking. from. wells that do not in the same degree those habituated to it from infancy. We think it tolerably certain that the greater lence of malarial fever is, at least, par- jally due to the immense increase of summer journing, and possible ion of ice in ut we leave both ions to the consideration of persons nae ape of the kind their special traveling and summer that the greatly extended consum} recent years is an exciting cause; who ly. quitos have Breen lately arrived in this state from Tammed into one side of ing to hold B bia.” wanted eal bad We don't know whether he in danger of getting ‘'ydrophobia” Dut he was about the maddest and Johnny Bull we ever saw. z ‘ E Fd i F i : i HY 4 il g fi F I i: 4 | i i H F 5 i i iH H 2 Eg Ei fst i ts: town. entertained about the ability of the road to complete the new lines in time for the centen- tial, but Mr. Smith ts now will be no obstacle in the way of accomplishing that object.

OFFICERS ELECTED AND ADDRESS ADOPTED BY THE GATHERING aT UTICA. The Anti-Monopoly Conference met yesterday ‘Utiea, N.Y io wet Hon. L. E. Chittenden was made tem. chairman. The report of the committee ‘on permanent organization, which was adopted, constituted Gen. Alex. 8. Devine, of Chemung, president, and provided a long list of vice presi dents. ceived from ex-Governor Seymour, gretting his inability to address the convention mse | of poor health. A long address was presented and adopted, setting forth the enormous growth of railroad interests in wealth and power, much | dy’s of the wealth gained by corrapt practices of stock watering and oppressive tariffs and used to corrupt legislation for the perpetuation of their grip upon the industry of the country. The New York state senate Is deseribed ‘as being the creatures of the railroads, and many of its mem- bers are denounced by name as being entirely the property of or largely influenced in their | votes by interests identified more or less with | the railroads. The address says: “When public sentiment looks upon buyingan election a crime, and professional lobbyists like A. D. Barber an Edwards—who, together with Senator Sessions, are now under indictment for bribery during the late senatorial contest—are regarded as sovial partahs, to be avoided by all decent citl zens, it is probable that fewer senators like M. Sessions will be seen at Albany, and representa. tives like Messrs. Husted and Alvord will cease to be leaders in the assembly.” Mr. ConkLine AGaIN IN Po.itics.—A New York letter says: & republican state convention will be issued next week. There is a strong pressure from the stalwarts to that effect. The friends of Mr. Conkling reiterate that he will be a delegate, | and that it is more than probable he will even be called to ee They claim also that he con- trols the New York delegation, eighty in num- ber, but this is probably an extravagance. The anti-Conkling faction find themselves in a some- what em! position in connection with the President's i If they could only be assured what the result of that would be, they would have no difficulty in trimming their sails accordingly. As it is, they are afraid of show- ing their hands in too marked a manner against the ex-primate, whose star, in the event of the President's decease, they half suspect would be once more in the ascendant; and yet, as they are on the record as administration or anti- Conkling men, it will not do, as a matter of self- interest, to betray any hesitation in livi to that record. The facile character avers of the average New York politician has always been proverbial. The nice calculations to which he thus resorts, when the loaves and fishes are at stake, would do no discredit to a Chinese juggler or the three- card monte men at Coney Island.” Dirgct To Yorkrown.—Mr. Smith, the gen- eral manager of the Chesapeake & Ohio rail- road, says that the road to Yorktown will be completed in time to carry passengers to the centennial. Allof the bridges and nearly all of the heavy work on the line have — been completed, or soon will be. The road w be finished, Mr. Smith says, to Newport News atthe same time. Cars will be run thro from Louisville and Cincinnati direct to York- For some time serious doubts have been tisfled that there tion a greater success, and was really the great- est drawback to the project anticipated. eee eee oe eae TRAIN ROBBER SHOT BY 4 COLORED SOLDIER. tr as, oom The Some ee ‘om Topel Says: The e n- ger train that artived here at 2 p.m to-d Tint a gang brought intelligence to headquarters a gang of train-robbers had boarded last night, just after dark, at Grenada, Col.

A Snockxine Dovste MurpER.—A special from Fort Smith sa) A letter received here to- day by U.S. Marshal Dill, from Waldron, gives the following iculars of a horrible double murder in the Choctaw nation, a few miles west ofthat place: On Friday night Wm. Massingale was a guest at the house of John Stewart, who was to remain there all night. About 9 o'clock James Hobbs, a white man, and Ed. Fulsom, a Choctaw, came to Stewart's house and shot him seven times. Massingale started to run, when one of the assassins shot him in the back, kill him instantly. They then beat him on the head until it was horribly crushed and mutilated.” —————— Tue VicTIM OF 4N ATRocIoUs OUTRAGE.—A special from Pekin, Ill, says that the boy who was tied to the track and ran over on the Indianapolis, Burlington and Western railway has since died.

He holds that these terrible listurbances are neither more nor less than dis- charges of electricity; are, in fact, simply subter- ranean thunder-storms. ' The theory is a novel one, but is not without argument to sustain It, One is the argument of necessity; there is no other known cause that will fit the facts of the case. “Considering,” says our author, “the irre- sistible force, theunmeasured rapidity, the quick repetition and long duration of these storma, what known agent in nature, except electricity, is capable of producing at the same time such singular effects in the sea and such tremendous Paseo on land fi The effects yd the same ‘as those caused by atmospheric ing, which acts directiy upon the objects with which it comes in contact in its passage between the earth and the clouds; while the subterranean lightning of the earthquake has only a secon- effect upon terrestrial objects through the medium of the masses of earth or water upon which its direct force impinges; but they are in- finitely ter and more disastrous than the most violent discharges of the thunder cloud, pos record of earthquake disasters abundantly ws. It is noted in support of the electric pom | that violent earthquake shocks are preceded accompanied by great heat and an electric state of the atmosphere, the conditions most favorable to the development of thunderstorins, and it is asserted by many witnesses that the shocks are frequently preceded by a light in the #ky such as might be produced by an electrical discharge. Another point made by the Quarterly writer is that the most prolific earthquake countries are thore situated within the tropics, and that the centers of greatest disturbance are regions of yoleanic action, hot ings and lakes and other evidences of internal heat, “and science has pretty well proved that heat and electricity are convertible.” From these and other cireum- stances it is reasoned that “an earthquake is the result of discharges of terrestrial electricity ao- cumulated in the bowels of the earth, wi we know to be a reservoir of electric matter, whose extent and capacity we may in the future be en- abled to measure by the number and duration of earth convulsions. To the objection that the solid strata of the earth are unfavorable to the transmission of electric energy, it is answered that, so far as earthquakes have been traced, they appear to follow the lines of faults and fissures in the strata, and that certain towns which are noted for the frequency of their earthquake visitations are known to be situated over such fissures; the ay discharge cannot strata it makes Its way through the fissures. It is not, however, until it meets gh ance of deep, partially incoherent beds G gravel, alluviums, late tertianes and the like, forming the most perfect non-conductor which can be conceived,” that its energy is felt. cushion not only arrests the of the electricity, but compels it to force its out, if not vertically, horizontally, whenever reaches a weak or thin layer, where it can most easily break through and escape.” Thus the earthquake which overwhelmed Casamic- ciola, in Ischia, last March, exclusively affected. that part of the island of Ischia which consists of enormously thick beds of clay. Similarly the scene of the Chio earthquake, in the head month, ‘was the southeast corner of the islan consisting, as usual, of modern alluvial slightly coherent deposits. The central strip, or backbone of the island, of old limestone, sandstone and slate, scarcely suffered at all.” This seems to explain the well-established but. hitherto puzzling fact that earthquakes are felt but slightly, if at all, at the bottom of deep mines, however severe they may be on the sur- face. Mines are sunk in the rock and follow fissures filled with metal ores, which, it may be supposed, the elect: y passes readily and harmlessly until checked by the cov- ering clays and other earths of the surface, just ‘as the current in a telegraph wire gives no’ sign of its pressure until it is interrupted. Scientists have given more study, with less satisfactory results, to the sul of earthquakes: than to almost any’ other phenomenon. The theory that they are caused by electrical dis- o— ‘will no doubt receive careful stady, and may be finally demonstrated to be the true one; in which case the utilitarian modern thought will be at once toward fin control it and press it into service. knowl- of this giant-force is only in Its infancy as , but it is sufficient to make — almost power i is a powerful servant, = contd og is a destroying rer, how shatters mountains and ‘cies may in time be harnessed and led to turn machinery, and expend its energy in wi ork. aaneenrienaplisinaantitinss Dennis McMahon, aged 9 years, of Hobs N.J., drank a pint of whisky Wednesday and died almost immediately after. y J.
