In connection with the restoration to life, by D’Arsonval’s method, of a man at Pitts- field, Mass., who had recelved 4,000 volts of electricity in his body, a New York Her- ald London correspondent saw Dr. D'Ar- fonval and obtained some particulars. “I am not surprised at the news,” sald the doctor. ‘The man was dead, no doubt; that is to say, respiration had ceased. I don’t know who the doctor could have been who applied my method. I have no ene who represents me in the United States, but the system is very simple, and the remedy consists in restoring respira- tion, “I discovered the remedy in 1887, when I immediately communicated the results of my investigations to the Institute De L’ Academie des Seiences. I commenced ex- periments with animals and restored life in this way six times. In regard to men I have succeeded fur times’ when they were Soeeen, ‘by electrigity, industrial or arti- ic “I discovered this by studying cases of death” by electricity. I found nothing, after the most careful examination, in the fungs, heart or head to explain the cause of death. It was a purely nervous action which caused death. Now, there is nection between the respiratory and the nervous system. .."Take the case of a toreador, for in- stance. He delivers what appears to be @ mortal blow back of the neck of the bull. The animal falls and everyone says that the animal is dead. This is really not the case. What the toreador has done 4s that he has touched the spinal column; that ts to say, a point known as the Noud vital de Flourens, so called from ita dis- coverer. The shock is communicated to the respiratory system, which ceases to work, and this is apparent death..

At the Back of Denmark’s Exclusion of American Meats. Officials of the Agricultural Department say that the meat and cattle exports from the United States to Denmark are inisiz- nificant in amount, and are inclined to be- lieve that Germany has induced the Danish government: to take the step against the American product as a method of making its exclusion from Germany more eftective. Without some such arrangzment, American cattle or meats find their way into the Ger. man empire way of Denmark, particu- larly since port of Copenhagen was re- cently made a free port of entry, whence the cargoes of ships may be distributed to other ports of the Baltic. It is recalled that- when Germany excluded American pork she induced the adjoining govern- ‘tents of Holttand, Belgium and Denmark to follow her exatpple by the threat that She would place aitkembargo on their swine to make sure that no American hogs came to her through the ports of her neighbors. Consequently Jt will be seen that vhe jatest Move of German inspiration, as it is as- | sumed to be, fs in accordance with her old policy, and the officials will not be sur- prised’ at the announcement, before many | weeks, that Holland and Belgium, which are as closely allied to Germany as Den- mark, have followed her lead. —-e-- xhting in East Africn. News has been received of fighting be- tween the Germans and the Wahehe tribe, The governor of German East Africa, Von Schele, telegraphed from Dares Salaam that on October 30 Kuirenga, the capital cf the Uhehe territory, was stormed and captured by the Germans. In the engage- ment, which lasted ‘several hours, Licut. Maass and eight Askaris were killed. The losses of the Wahehe were heavy.

By an explosion of coal dust yesterday afternoon in the Blanche coal mines, seven miles east of Steubenville, Ohio, on the Pan Handle railroad, seven men were killed and four badly injured. Those killed were Michael Rooney, Thomas Jordan, Thomas Tucker, David Rowlands, John Donnelly, Antonio Sattie, Mazzle Gesideo. The injured are Jose Rifle, Raphael Neckie, Jasper Lawrence and Thomas Mor- ris. Tucker, Donnelly and the Italians are married. Hundreds crowded about the mouth of the mine, where some tragic and sorrow- ful scenes were enacted. A rescue party, consisting of George Benbow, Nick Kemis, Arthur Ward, John Muter, John Stewart and William Davis, volunteered and went in after the bodies and brought them out. The sight of the dead men caused sev- eral women to faint. Prosecuting Attorney Cotton and Coroner Walkinshow of Wellsburg arrived shortly after the acciden$ and took cha of the bodies. They wilf conduct a rigid investi- gation, as this is the second accident of this kind that has occurred at thig mine, the other having happened on November 21, 1892, when three were killed and seven burned and injured.

A special dispatch to The Evening Star from Richmond, Va, dated November 20, says: Horace Cochran, 4 student at Richmond College, while on West Main street last night, suddenly became insane and caused great excitement in the neighborhood be- fore he was placed in the hands of officers. ‘The young man rushed up the front steps of a residence on that street, shouting at the top of his voice, and aroused the in- mates “and attracted to the scene several hundred people. He was taken to the police station, and a commission of lunacy will be held this a! ternoon to decide as to the young man’ mental condition. The trouble is thought to be the effect of a long attack of typhoid fever, from which Mr. Cochran not long since recovered. The student is from Loudoun county, where his parents are well known. He entered the college this year. den. + 0+ _____ WANT TO KNOW WHY. British Stockholders of the Central Pacific Railroad. Sir Charles Rivers Wilson,ex-controller of the national debt office, who sails today for New York from Liverpool, as representa- tive of the shareholders in this country of the Central Pacific railroad, sald in an in- terview yesterday: “I do not go to the United States with plenary powers to take action in case Mr. Huntington and his friends refuse to carry out my recommendations. It is difficult to get widely scattered shareholders to act in concert, but I am within the facts in say- ing that sixty per cent of the $68,000,000 of stock held in England, Holland and the United States are behind me. These holders of stock bought at $75 and upward, and for several years dividends were declared. Now their stock is quoted at about $15, and there are no dividends.

AFFAIRS iN ALEXANDRIA Another Row ona Railroad Train, With r i Usual Disorder. Other Notes of Local and General In- terest to All Classes—A Foot Ball Team. Another of those rows for which the Jate trains from Washington have become famous occurred on the train leaving Washington for Alexandria last night at 11:39 o'clock. This time it was a white man, whose name could not be ascertain- ed, When Conductor Johnson went through the train collecting the tickets, he ap- proached this man, who was drunk, and asked fora‘ ticket. The man claimed to have a ticket, but refused to give it up or pay his fare. After some little talk the conductor stopped the train on the cause- way between the two bridges. When the train had started again the man jumped on the rear platform, when the brakeman Seth ~ put a off erg anda ee a su in wi several passen, part. The train was again stopped and delayed fully five minutes, when some kindly passenger paid the man’s fare. It seems, however, that the man did not know where he wanted to for he loft the train at the squth end of the Long bridge.

Cases Before Judge Kimball Early This Morning. There was a short procession of prison- ers in Judge Kimball's court this morn- ing, and the first prisoner to appear for trial was fortunate enough to have been arrested by Policeman McGuiré, who knew something of his character. Richard Smith, a colored man, was the victim, and he ad- mitted that he had occupied the sidewalk last night when he was under the influ- ence of liquor. . “He was drunk," said the officer, “and I found him lying across the sidewalk. But he 1s an honest, hard-working man and I've never known him to do this before.” The officer gave the man such a good reputation that Judge Kimball released him on his personal bonds. Next in line was a young white man named William Steele, against whom there was a similar charge. “Guilty, I guess,” was his plea, and he did not have to guess a second time. His appearance was that of a man who had been drinking, and, like the colored man, he had been found on the sidewalk. “Judge, your honor, if you give me until Saturday, I'll pay the fine,” said the pris- oner when the judge had fined him %. * “I can't do that,” said the judge. “I've stopped giving time.” : “I have $ in my pocket,” added the pris- oner, “but I want to take it home to mw wife and babies. I am going to get some more money Saturday.” The judge reduced the fine to $2, and the man paid for his release. “Guilty!” was the response of James Mc- Vey, an able-bodied man, against whom there was a charge of vagrancy. “Sut.” he added, “if given a chance, I'll leave the town.” _ = there about this man?” the a loafer and beggar,” answered Policeman Auguste, “and has been about South Washington for about ten days.” “I've been here just one week,” =he pris- oner sald, “and only stopped because I was sick and wanted some medicine. He was hetd for two weeks. Andrew Jenkins has managed to keep out of the way of the police since Emancipation day. That evening he had some trouble with a woman in Government alley, and Policeman O'Brien has been look- ing for him ever since. “He had the alley in an uproar,” said the officer. “*Twas all the woman's fault,” said the man. “She followed me and caused all the trouble.” “Five dollars.” Edward Brown, colored, who had some trouble on 2ist street last night, was also in the dock. “He had a fight over a dispute about five id a witness. t fault?" the court asked. ‘One was as bad as the other.” ‘Five dollars or fifteen days.” —— AY.

Robinson, the plumb: inspector of the District of Columbia, last evening at 6 o'clock. His death not wholly unexpected, as for some time he had been afflicted with a painful disar< rangement. The end came through the performance of a critical operation. Mr, Robinson's death took place at his home, on the College Villa subdivision, Tenley. town road, near Cleveland's old country place. Mr. Robinson was a life-long resi- dent of Georgetown. The Robinson hoine was the present Weaver house, at the cor ner of 324 and Road streets, where Core poral Tanner resides now.

Physicians, nurses and the general public journeyed in goodly numbers to the pure food exposition last evening, and samples galore, as well as the capacity of Conven- tion Hall, were tested by ‘experts. All survived the trial. The visiting exhibitors went on a sight- seeing tour this morning, inspecting the Ex- ecutive Mansion and a number of the gov- ernment departments. The management announces that all bread submitted in the competition on Saturday must be baked on Friday, and must be of white flour, as no rye or graham loaves will be examined. Sellman, West & Co. have aimed to com- bine four different exhibits in one, and serve, respectively, at each corner of their . cakes, wheat flakes, granulated tine and dainty cups of Tong Shing toa.

The following recipes are to be used by Miss Johnson at the lecture this afternoon: Shaddock Sherbert (Copyrighted). Cut six shaddocks into halves. Remove the seeds, and, with an orange spoon, take out the pulp.

Shree SRE SOME BEAUTIFUL PAINTINGS Admirers of the artistic and those who love color expression upon canvas have been thronging the rooms of W. H. Veer- hoff, on F street near 12th, and enjoying the exhibition of pictures and marbles just opened in the well-lighted galleries. The collection of paintings is notable in works by artists of extended reputation, con- spicuous among which are two excellent examples of Plockhurst—"Christ Entering Jerusalem” and “The Good Shepherd.” A portrait of a handsome woman by Ham- ilton Hamilton shows that he lost none of his color power by his temporary deser- tion of the palette for the etcher’s tools. Another striking canvas is “Morning on the Scheldt,” by George Bunn, and much attention is attracted by two other works from his brush— and “The City of Antwerp.” Bodenhausen is represented by “Faith” and “Hope,” both striking in their treatment, and Charles Messonier, son of the famous French artist, shows hereditary genius in the faithful delicacy with which he por- trays “The Card Players.” Two smail can- vases by Manuel Jiminez-Prieto are excel- lent. The entire exhibition is tastefully ar- ranged and well worth a visit by both con- noisseurs and amateurs. —_—— Another Knox Fire Suit.
