Dispatches from Rio Janeiro received in cipher by the newspaper Novidades at Lisbon contain important and deeply interesting facts about the political upheaval reported there as having occarred on the 18th instant. From the information contained in the cipher telegrams it is undoubtedly correct that tho provisional government found itself confronted by a very formidable and active opposition, among the members of which were numbered many sol diers, a good contingent from the nayy backed up by several officers from both branches of the service, while numerous citizens also joined in the revolt in favor of the monarchy. These banded together and paraded the principal streets, giving full aggressive show of their sentiments, and very serious fighting resulted. The revolt was not suppressed until the morning of the 20th instant, when the regu- larly organized troops overcame and dispersed the mouarchists. The provisional authoritics arrested quite a number of leading participants in the revolt. , The Brazilian imperial family attended mass in the Lapa convent and visited the chapel in which is deposited the heart of Dom Pedro I, the father of the imperial exile. Dom Pedro and the ex-empress of Brazil are in Oporto, The ex-empress is still indisposed. The London Times’ Lisbon correspondent reports that English and Portuguese bankers have within the last fortnight greatly reduced their remittances to Brazil. FATAL STREET RIOTS, The Brazilian journals just received in New York bring news of several riots that have not found their way to publicity. Besides those in Meranhao and Para, of which an-account has been given, there was another in Bahia, There the people and the authorities hesitated tweuty- four hours about giving their allegiance to the republic, There was somo rioting in the reets, and the result was that five people were killed and several wounded at Pernambuco. Jose Marianno, aman of great influence, pub- lished a manifesto demanding that the province be constituted an independent state, separate from the government of the United States of Brazil, He continued holding meetings to that end. The provisional government has deter- mined to continue the pensions formerly paid by Dom Pedro out of his private income. ‘The army, which at the time of the revolution num- bered 14,000, is to be increased to 20,000. The resistance by the monarchical party in Rio was from the first more serious than reported, The Novideds of Lisbon publishes, under date of December 5, the following interview with Mr. F. Geodel, a Belgian, who was per- sonally acquainted with the Count d’Eu: “Lhe Brazilian republic is far from having the sta Dility that it 18 thought to have in Europe. Au by y the colored men, but also by many other ements that Europe does not know of. ght-tenths of the population of Bahia are imperialist, notwithstanding the republic was accepted there,” ——___—-ee—___ THE CiVIL RIGHTS LAW. Fifty Well-known Texans Arrested for Violating It. AUnited States grand jury Indicted about sixty-two citizens of Fort Bend county, Texas, uuder the civil rights act, on a charge of run- ning Ferguson and six other colored citizens out of the county. Beside this twenty-six citi- zens of Richmond were indicted by the same jury, charged with murder. This charge grows out of the late Richmond riot, which resulted in the killing of Sheriff Garvey, Blakeley and Frost a few mouths ago. United States Marshall Dickenson arrived at Galveston Tuesday night with about fifty prisoners from Nichmond, ‘twenty of these are under indictment for murder, and they cannot be admitted to bail unless by consent of the judge of the court. There was no trouble in_ securing bail for those who could be bailed, Twenty or more of the wealthiest men of Fort bend county came down with the prisoners in order to provide the necessary bail, which aggregated over 1,000,000, ‘Those indicted for murder and still in cus- tody embrace some of the leading white citi- zens of Fort Bend county, all of whom are con- fident of an honorable acquittal when their cases are tried. eo Engaged to One, Eloped with Another. ‘The elopement and marriage of Miss Lillie Teed, a prominent young society Indy of St, Joseph, Mo,, and Arthur Harlett of Wellsville, Mo., is announced, The young couple started out Sunday evening fora buggy ride and were not heard of until Tuesday morning, when the young lady’s parents received a telephone mes- sage from Leavenworth stating that they had been married.

An Apnapolis special to the Baltimore Sun Says that the state steamer, Governor Thomas, Capt.

In Buchanan's gambling house, in Kansas City, just before daylight yesterday morning an unknown friend of Jesse James attempted to avenge the death of the famous outlaw on Bob Ford, his slayer. Ford has been around Kansas City for several days, and on Christmas eve eame over from Richmond, Mo., where he had been visiting Bis parents. He went to the Windsor hotel and left his revolvers in his With party of friends he went to Buchanan's faro bank about midnight and took a seat at a faro table, Early m the moraing he noticed a number of friends of Jesse James in the room, but he refused to leave. While he was intent on the game un unknown man grabbed him by the neck and struck at him with a knife as he hissed: “You bloody mur- derer, Pl cut your throat.” Tho knife went through Ford’s collar, but did not draw blood. He was on his fect ina moment and ————_+e+-______ it occurred in a church near Shaw- Christmas eve and several per- shot. The row occurred over a mis- Christmas 125 150 impcrialist movement not only will be supported | which the body of Mrs. Cheek was taken, the officers spent some time trying to find the doctor, haying ascertained that he lived at No, 459 Q street, where his son keeps a grocery store. This son said he was unable to tell where his father bad gone or what time he would get | back, The warrant for Dr. Beall’s arrest’ was sent to police headquarters and Detectives Raff and Carter were detailed by Inspector Swindells to see that the party accused of re- moving Mra. Cheek’s body from the grave was captured. These officers lost no time in be- ginning the investigation, and before midnight they had located the doctor at the home of his brother, Evart Beall, who lives on a farm not far from Washington Grove, Montgomery county, Maryland) The detectives learned thet the doctor left the city in the horse and buggy that played such an important part in the grave robbery and arrived at his brother's house late that night, Yesterday merging the officers took an early train and went to Washington Grove. One of the residents of that locality volunteered his serviees and the trio arranged to surround Evart Beall’s house. Detective Carter, who is 8 dignified looking man, was selected to ap- pear at the front door of the honse while the countryman and the other detective were to come through the woods to the rear of the house, As the latter were approaching the house they noticed @ man who they thought was Dr. Beall HIDING BEHIND THE PIG PEN in the rear of the house. The man was at- tired in seedy looking clothing and wore a slouch hat. He was watching Detective Carter, who was walking in 2 leisurely way along the plank walk to the house. About the time the setive reached the door the man turned and started for the woods. He, however, soon changed his course when he saw Detective Ra and the countryman within a hundred yards of him, VANISHES IN A BARN. Turning, he ran in the direction of the barn and disappeared. When the detectivesreached the barn they found both doors locked, One was locked on the outside and the other was fastened inside with a hook. The officers had no authority to enter Evart Beall’s barn, as they onlv had a Police Court warrant issued in this city, Dr. Beall’s father, who occupies a small house near his son's residence, came out and made no denial of the doctor's presence at Evart's house. ‘The old man walked over to the barn and asked William to come out, if he was there, but William did not come, ‘The ofticers were finally permitted to enter the baru and search the hay, but if the doctor was there he was too far beneath the hay to be found, The presence of the oilicers at the Beall resi- dence uttracted a crowd of people, who dis- enssed body-enatehing in all its phases, he officers finally concluded that they would have to return home empty handed aud went to Evart Deall’s residence. Evart ex- tended to the officers an invitation to stay to dinner, but they declined with thanks. He “treated” to cake and wine and de- tectives then came back to Washington.

Last week it was learned at the central office of the associated charities that there are in various parts of the city many families of very worthy persons who ar2 in distress for the actual necessities of life and for whom no pro- vision had so far been made. A benevolent lady of Le Droit Park obtained a list of sixteen such families—the most of whom live in South Washington—and forthwith issued a call for contributions of pound packages of food “for the Christmas of the poor.” Forty-two of the ladies of Le Droit Park and vicinity responded promptly and liberally with offerings of tea, coffee, sugar, bread, flour, beans, potatoes, crackers, rice, hominy, &c., and one lady con- tributed sixteen fat chickens, one for each | family. ihe day before Christmas the accumulated store of food was carefully divided, according to the wants of each family, which had been devermined beforehand, Sixteen large baskets were packed full to overflowing, and three of the otticers of the Le Droit Park subdi the associated charities made the distributi It is doubtful if there could be found in all this city any more deserving or more needy fainilies than those who received these timely ts. Many of the cases were extremely sad ones, and if all the contributors to this simple charity could know the happiness it brought to the htingry and helpless oues who were visited by it. they would certainly feel amply repaid for the trouble it cost. The second basket de- livered brought to light what was perhaps the saddest case of all, It was known beforehand that the husband was out of work. The lady who went with the baskets knocked at the door of a _middic-aged woman whose hands were found to be completely paralyzed and helploss. “I have brought ‘ou a few things for your Christmas dialer, Urs. Blank,” said the vis. itor, “Thank you,” she said calmly, “you are very kind. Please come in. As the heavily-laden basket crossed the threshold she burst into tears, and as soon as she could speak again said: “You must excuse mic, madam, but I haven't had a thing to eat for two days!” andin another moment, it is aid, her visitor was crying with her. ‘The house was clean, neat and orderly. The helpless woman could not work; she would not ask for help, and so she simply suffered in si- lence—a type of many such, In the sixteen families visited, of which fif- teen were white, there were twenty-seven adult persons and forty-seven children.

Hughes, late demonstrator of clinical medicine in the Jefferson medical college of Philadelphia, de- scribes the symptoms of the influenza as fol- lows: “The onset is sudden, with a chill, fol- lowed by fever, the temperature reaching 101 to 105 degrees, a quick compressible pulse and severe shooting pains in the eyes, frontal sinuses, joints and muscies, The chill and fever is rapidly followed by chilliness along | the spine, with pains in the throat or hoarse- ness, deafness, coryza, sneezing, watery eyes anda very irritating cough, sometimes be- coming bronchial. The tongue is furred, there is anorexia, epi distress, nausea, vomit- ing and often diarrhwa. The complications are often lobar or catarrhal pneumonia, which add to the gravity of the attack.

Swann of the Rue Casti~ chemist, during a conversation on inf ewid: “It seems to me as if every wase has yielded to the epidemic. “A. _feseriptions have been for it, and most of our customers have had it in a mild form. Some of them have taken simply doses of quinine, but, notecly, hypopbosphite of quinine, In ail such cases the patients have escaped it altogether or have bad im a very light form, not lasting more then twelve hours, It is taken as_a preventive, in doses of two pills a day, of one grain euch, because they are equal to two grains of piain quinine. It appears also that quinine ix taken during the con- valescent period, and when administered with food it will never disagree with the stomach, From the prescriptions we have made the treatment for the epidemic appears to be purgation and soporit Quinine and anti- pryine are generally used.” Dr. Hogg, the Champs Elysees chemist, was next visited. In answer to the same question his reply was: “Quinine and antipyrine. We have done nothing but attend to influenza pre- scriptions, Our employes have worked from 3 o'clock in the morning until 11 o'clock at night. 1 have three men constantly employed making cachets, I think that mild weather is better than cold and snowy blast to decrease the epidemic, for there are fewer chances in mild weather of having catarrhal accidents, ‘The prescriptions are about the satne for every- body. If I were ill 1 would take antipyrine. As for preventive doses, they are all hutmbags, An epidemic of this sort will have its ran, no matter whether one tries to prevent having it ornot, So far quinine and antipyrine is the general prescription. — (tee Naval Surgeon Hugg Found Dead.
