awoke in a hcspi^a! ward with a new
mind, through which vague, imperfect,
ghostly, framentary visions were ilit
ting in confusiDg disorder. These
ghostly figures se-?med familiar and
the lost man, the stranger to bimself,
clung to these tern shreds as the shadows
of his past. Out of i?, all he has
eagerly tried to identify eisiseJf or his
past history. He has but partially succeeded.
A tew incomplete passages
from his past have been established m
his mind and he is safely on the way to
finding himself.
The pitiful spectacle that the lost
man presented was one of absorbing
interest to the phy iclans and psycologist
His case i3 not. one without precedent,
but of sufficient rarity of occurrence
to make it the subject of great
f study. Outside of fiction few extraordinary
instances have been presented.

self is one that but few of the pb\sicians
in Atlanta have seen,
A VICTIM OF APHASIA.
The lcs' man, who was yesterday
discovered to be na:i>ed Dara^nn, is the
victim of a species of aphss;a. Th;s is
an infirmity that attacks tbe delicate
machinery of the b::ain. It is often a
natural infirmity, bat ofcener produced
by a powerful b.ow on the brain.
Sometimes it aest::oys tbe power of
speech, sometimes memory, sometimes
sight. In this instance memory bas
teen locked up, but it is hoped not en
tirely destrojed.
^It is onlv within tbe last few days
.^4C*thai, the hospital physicians have
agreed that Draughn's silence /?as cue
result of aphasia". His reticecce in
speakicg of himself was attributed to
guilt and the physicians declared that
he was shamming It is no v.- apparent
to tbe most indifferent observer that
his memory is suspended. Since it bus
been discovered that he has aphasia
the interest in bis case has multiplied a
hundred fold. It has attracted the attention
of every pby=ician in the city
w and Is tbe gossip of the streets.
9*- His condition has been extremely
^ puzzling to tbe novice; in fact many
veteran Dbvticians have regarded it
with wonder. But lew of mens bare
ever met with similar instances, save
within the medical record?, but all are
familiar with the theory of aphasia.
The patient a: tLe hospital has passed
through many stages of re coven,
first the power of speecn, which fur
three w^eks was inactive, was restored.
Then his faculty of ouserving c*me
back and he became thoroughly cognizant
of everything transpiring about
him.
DID NOT KNOW HIMSELF.
He was in the strange predicament
of not knowing who he was, and feeling
a keen sensibility of the importance
of knowing. Time and time again
he stated to the 2ity detectives that he
would give half of his possessions to
any one that; would tell him who he
was.The
spectacle of the stranger trying
to master his past was a most impressive
one. He v\ as like a ch:la learning
its first lesson, tie went about the task

to the questions of physicians, detectives
and'others and tried bard to answer
every question.
A gentleman supplied the detectives
with a long list of naims of ppople residing
at Winston and SaieD, X. C. It
had been learned tfcPt Draughn bad
once lived there, but without ass:stance
he could not n-inje 5s:rile.ris;

Iclinite patience Is required in talking
with Draugbn. lie puts his ideas
j inio words with the greatest dilliculI
ty and frequently he falls utterly to
j make himself understood, lie uses his
j words in the wrong place and stems to
I he unable to choose the proper words.
HIS NAME DISCOVERED.
Yesterday morning he talked with a
number of patients at the hospital con
ceming his "name. Suddenly he rushed
jimo the room adjoining his, wnich is
occupied by Mr. Hanks, and cried enthusiastically:
"I have foiled my lather's name and
11 do believe it's mine, too. It's Draughn
j ?Emit Draughn, and he's in Germany.
I believe that's my name, tco."
He was jubilant over his discovery
I and told of it in the most excited man|
ner to all who came near him. Later
| iu the day a li-.dy whose hu^ba^d had
| become interested in the esse called to
| see the stranger and continued his dis|
covery. She stated that she knew him
| in Salem, N. C. Full confirmation is
| expected by Chief Connelly today. He
has written to parties in Winston aDd
| Salem ard expects to bear from his
communications today. He received
several communications jesterday. One
:ro:n Richard Travis says that, judging
from the picture published in Sunday's
Constitution, the man is T. A.
Sanner, of Tremont, Pa. A picture
! was also sent, which was accompanied
by a letter Saying that tbe man was
named Paane.'l" and that he disappeared
from Atlanta five or six years ago. The
picture resembled The one Chief Connolly
has so very much that the chief
was'ltd to believe that they were of the
tamp nprsnn.
| Draughn is about as vigorous now as
he ever wes and he assists the nurses
at U.e hospital- He is a goud-humored
iellow and frequently laughs at what
is said to him with keen appreciation
ot humor.
Dr. >V. S. Eikin was aekfd about
such cases &rd said:
"Ii is a kind of apbasia, and is caused,
doubtless, by a clot of biocd settiing
over the centre of thesecseof memory.
In such cases the patient may gradually
recover, the blood being absorbed by
nature. Trephining is the remedy used
in very fxrre*me cases. This is a very
c'ehcate operation and in zll casts uan?*-rous.
Of this case, 1 know prac'icaily
nothing, but I should judge tha*, ir
t'ime he will come into the fu.il possession
of all his faculties."

Persia, relating a shocking instance of I
swift and extreme veDgeance cn the 1
part ol'the Shah's government, at the 1
instance of Minister McDonald, in be- <
half of the Amt-rican missionaries. ]
One of '.heir number, Iiev. E W. iSt.
Pierre or Oroomia, while riding home j
from (he couunty late in the eveniDg,
when within a little more than a mik< i
of the town, was halted and seized by '
some rullians, was dragged him into i
adjoining woods and treated him in a <
most unmerciful manner. With Ore- <
arms and swords pointed at his breast, i
he was forced, under the threat of in- <
stant death, to surrender all the money :
and other valuables whtch he had about
him and more was demanded under <
penalty of his life. Having no more to I
give, Mr. St. i'ierre told them to kill <
him at once, If they intended to, as he .
was a Christian and not afrid to die.
Then they roughly treated him again 1
stripping him of his clothing in the bit- <
ter cold, and left him half dead, saying
that if he moved from where he was in i
so many minutes he would be shot, t
When the time had exi ired the outraged
man dragged himself to the road and t
finally reached home in a deplorable
condition, where he was kindly cared i
for. The facts ot the case were immediately
reported to the American i
Minister at Teherana. who promptly i
laid it before the Prime Minister with
a most urgent demand that prompt and s
vigorous measures be taken for the ar- ;
restand punishment of the cirminals j
who had so brutallv maltreated his
countnman. The Prime Minister re- j
ported i hat no effort would be spare d to i
bring the malefactors to punishment,
and immediately telegraphed a peremp- r
tory order to that effect to the proper t
/ xfr.ni.jla at The answer Collie
quickly that bis orders had b^en obejed; j
that tbe robbers, four in number, who r
proved to be notorious outlaws, bad c
been captured after a stout resistance ]
aud put*to death. This summary and
sanguinary ending or the affair was at i
once r^portei to tbe American legation a
by tbe .Prime Minister, which thankea
him for his prompt action in the mat- r
ter, and 'hen put in a claim lor dam- c
ages for Mr. St. Pierre. c

Washington, Feb 21? Less than
tour score Representatives were in
their seats to-day when the session cf
the House was opened, but Deputy
Sergeant-at-Arms Ilill asserted that a
voiiDg quorum would be on hand in
the course of the day. i
Bland would not say fhat the bill
would be disposed of, however. He
said a number of amendments would
De offend to his seigniorage bill, and
upon them, of course, debate will follow
under the live minute ru'.e and he
x>uld not s;:y when a vote would be
reached.
Attar lirdvcrsi'i] the reading oi the
journal. Reed suggested that a report
was ia order from the Sergeant at-Arms
respecting ?actions under the order
:o arrest absentees so that the House
might know how the poll stood. ColDnel
Snow thereupon reported that all
ibsentees were either in the city or en
route hither, except the sick and excused
ones, and seven who have been
sent for by authorized deputies.
Reed: ' Has the gentleman from
Ohio, (Johnson-) who is reported In a
Cleveland telegram this morning to be
so defiant of the authority of the
House, been sent for V "
The Speaker: " The Chair is iuformed
that a deputy has been sent to
irrest him."
(Johnson is quoted as saying he
ivould not regard a summons to re;urn.)
Reed : "Are any of the Representatives
here under arrest ? "
Scow : There have been no further
irrests "
Feed : " 1 should like to ask, why ?
fou had no difiiculty in arresting half
i dozen Republicans."
Snow. '' Mr. Speaker, I would like
iorneini'urraation. Ami expected to
trrest members upon the floor of the
ilouse V "
The Speaker: "The Sergeant-atIrms
is expected to exechte the war ants
presented to him. "
The Sergeant at-Arms retired to car y
out bis instructions and the committes
were called for reports.
When the list naa oeen couciuueu,
31and asked unanimous consent that
nembers under arrest be excused with*
mt being brought before the bar of the
louse.
BeedI shall have to object. Our
numbers were paraded here in front,
md we want to see yours. "
The Sergeant-at-Arms, not being
eady to report, Bland moved to go into
ommittee of the whole on his bill to
oin the seigniorage of the Treasury
iiver bullion, and on that motiOD.deuanded
the previous question.
Without a division on ordering the
>revious question on his motion, 5.'and
al:ed for the yeas and nays, and they
vare ordered. The vote resulted :
Teas, 15H ; nays, 11?nine lfss than a
[uorum. The following .Republicans
:uted with the bulk of the Democrats
n favor of the motion of Bland: Bowers
f Caiiforn'a, Broderick of Kansas,
:unston of Kansas, Uartmon of Monana,
and 'Wilsc-i of Washington?5.
Uso the following Populists : Baker
f Kansas, Bell ot Colorado, Ilowen of

Tne negative vote was made up of
Mtzhoover of Pennsylvania, Cobb of

lall of Minnesota. McAleer of Pennylvania,
O'Neill of Massachusetts,
'jgott of Connecticut-, Busk of Marymd,
Sickles of New York and Wolver
an or Pennsylvania?all Democrats.
At the announcement of the result, <
5 land moved a call of the House,
vhich was ordered. It showed 271. ,
members in the hall. The proceedings
naer the call were dispensed with and ;
nothcr vote began.
The second vote resulted: Yeas 15T,
iays 10. This was a loss of three from ,
he lirst vote ard twelve short of a
uorum.
It was stated at the desk (informally)
bat at the time the lirst roll call was i
aade, there were nine pro-silver Hep- (
tsentatives in the House or the corri- (
ors, who failed to vote. The addition
f that number to the vote would have
roduCfcd a quorum. ,
Bland made the motion to order a
all of the House, whereupon Reed in- i
srjected: "It seems to me tll.'it the_
I mice micrht". net.ter OCCUDV this timet:
a discussing the bill, than" in wasting
t as tbe gentleman from Missouri per
ists in doing."
McMlJlin (Dem.) of Tennessee; "And ]
then will tbe gentleman from Maine grte
to vote?"
lleed: ',When we get through." I
JlcMilliD: "And when will that be?"
Heed: "Why, when we have finished i
f course. The idea that these gentle- 1
3en have the tail of the situation in ;
heir hands before we shall be allowed
> debate the subject is all wrong. The
istom is for the body to debate a thing
ntil they get through with it. (Cries \
f "regular order.") That is what we j
re tryn.g to do; and it is a sname that
re can no: be allowed to do it. (He- ;
ewcd cries of "order.") by an impotent 1
cdy tb.it cannot furnish a quorum." c
At this point, speaker Crisp directed 1
le reporters not to take aote of the
ollcquy prcceeairg out ?f order. '
(ientlt-men cannot," he said, "make (
:atements out of order aad hope to j
et tnem in the record."
Heed remarked that tbe Speaker was ,
Qtirely correct aDd be hoped that- the
uling "would be enforced. 1
The Chair: *'It will be." f
On Hland's motion to order a call of 1
ie Huush, Heed asked for tellers and j
aving secured them, Hiand demanded '
lejeasaad najp, thus lhtroducicg a
ariation of the routine of filibusting
od slightly complicating thesiruation. ?
On the motion to order a call of the j
louse, the ve<is w>re 1G1 and the nays c
3; ami the call wa<3 begun. Another (
.vist was given the proceedings upon ]
us call of the House. When the ClerK ;
ad called the list of names once Bland {
;ked him if the presence of a quorum c
ad bten disclosed, and learning that t
I'i members had answered to' their r
ames, moved that farther proceedings j
e dispensed with. A division of the j
[ousf showed a large majority In fa- t
or of ti e motion, but Heed asked for r
Hers ana Biana demanded that the <
^as and nays be taken. The demand t
as seconded by a sufficient numoer c
cd Lheeaii of the roll was made.
By a vote of 17') to 21 the House votio
dispense with further proceedings
!;der the call and again the roll was t
tiled -or a vote on Bland's motion to 1
a into committee of the whole on his ^
?iguorage bill. It: resulted: Yeas 157; C
ay*. 4?the siuailest vote of the day. i
JiiaLd moved that tbe House ad- i
urn, but, Talbott (Dem.) of Maryland (
loved to amend by adjourning over to- f
Wuchmofftn's hirthdav. This c
JVliVH, TT UOUlU^WVu ^ m
i-oked a passionate declaration from c
land that until the democratic party 1
ould provide a quorum to do busiuess i
holidays. He then iE3ae the point that
in the"absence of a quorum a motion
to adjourn over a day was not in order
which point the speaker sustained, and
put Bland's motion. A division
showed 119 to 5G in favor of adjournment;
and when Reed called for tellers
Mallory (Dem.)cf Florida, demanded
the yeas and najs and they were ordered.
The motion w*s agreed to, yeas
140; nays 103?and at 4 p. in. the House

Preparallo 1 for Woik.
Clemsox College, Ftb. 22.?Four
hundred and eighty-three cadets have
reported for duty, and of this number
195 are new. The recruits are all in
one large company, in charge of Capt.
It. E. Lee, but as soon as they have
baen drilled sufiieiently well, eight companies
will be formed. Eich company
is to have about equal numbers of old
and new cadets. There will be two
battalions, each composed of four
I companies, and on Saturday afternoons
there will be regimental parauts, with
Mr. Shanklin, tutor in mathematics,
and Mr. Blythe, tutor in English, as
majors, and Lieutenant Donaldson as
colonel of the regiment. There is
some talk of organizing a brass band
among the cadets, and if tnis be done
the regiment, with the flag which Lieutenant
Donaldson presented to Company
C. for being the best drilled company
at Clemson, and the held music,
will present a very fine appearance.
President Craighead yesterday morning
divided the cadets of the college
classes into agricultural and mfchanical
students, and It was seen that there
was about an equal number in both
departments, and not as some had predicted,
a big majority in favor of agricultural
students are being given work
on the farm, garden and at the ban;.
The mechanical students as yet have
rinna hut lltTfM OTfirlr hilt. Will COffl
mence in a few days, as supplies of
lumber, etc., are being put in at the
shops for their use.
The professors are busy now examining:
and classifying the new cadets,
which will soon be completed, and the
recitation will begin. Physical examinations
are being held daily by I)r.
Redfern, but as yet no one bas been refused
admittance into the college on
account cf failure to pass the examination.
A good- many old cadets, and some
new ones, who received appointments
by the examination held in January,
have failed to put in their appearance,
and preparation is now being made to
1111 their places from those who have
t?e highest grades but failed to win
the appointments. Several have already
been admitted who came on at
the opening and remained, watching
for a cbance to enter. It is safe to say
Ctiat m a snort wane toe oarraciis wm
be filled with 600 cadets. Measurements
are being taken for the uniforms, 1
and in about six weeks all will be in
jeans. The laundry is doing very nice
work indeed, as good as any in the
State and the board is decidedly better
than it was last year, in fact. There is
perfect harmony among the cade's.
Tney have organized an athletic association,
with Mr. II. G. Ciiff as piesi- .
dent, and several baseball nines have
been formed, and during the coming
season Ciemson is going to have some '
very line games, not only among the 1
home teams, but with Furman Uni- 1
versity, Wofford College and others,
A few nights ago one of the new cadets
was passing the post of a sentinel. :
lie had on a very large, showy badge, 1
which seemed to be the pride of his
whole being. Having failed to give
the countersign as he passed; the senti- :
nel said, with a very stern look upon :
his face, " Give me the countersign." 1
"Oh, friend, I can't part with this," j
putting his hand over his badge, " my 1
mother gave it to me."?State.

Boston, Feb. 20? About two thous- {
and people gathere:'. on the common
! this afternoon to listen to addresses by J
} Morrison L. Swift, Herbert X. Casson j i
and other "Socialists-anarchists" as
they claim themselves. After hearing
the"sp?-eches,tfte crowd marcned to The
State House, where Swift and Casson |
were made delegates to visit Governor
Greeohalge. They demanded as they
| th?mselvfs put it, that employment *
j should be given to thecrowd w hich they u'
leu. The Governor intimated to Swift "
and Casson tha", he would do all in his ?
power to help the unemployed and j?
that he had no doubt that the Legisla
ture wcuid co something for the aec. ( ,
lie consented to come out and address v
thecrowa. lie saici to tr.e people mat p
personally he would do all he could ar.d /-,
thkt tie would recommend action by the
Legislature. -Still, he said, the Legislate
- hid no power to give work to the
uneiL ployed, except the works on which
the sh -wld be employed wese necessary S:
for th;- 'At-ceral socd. He insistt-d that I)
the lirsi duty of every citizen w.s obe- D
dience io the laws. If the ln^vs were Ci
not rigbr it w;-s the fault of tbe
people of Massachusetts net that of the
Governcr cr the Legislature. lie Slid
they were simply there to express the r?
will of the peopie. '7
After this Swift and Casson, followed
by a crowd of unemployed, went up to
lay their petition, which was coached p
in the term of demand, before the f!
Senate and House of Representatives.
On their return from the chamber,
Swift ascended to one of the little side
galleries and delivered a speech thit
sounded strangely out of place ia the
historic old bail. " .">'e will clean out
th* State House," be cried, "if we don't *
get what we want." gg1
The rabble, to: such it was, accepted
the declaration with enthusiasm.
Private Sec retary Thomas was stand- j.1:
ing near and at tbe enunciation men- 1
tioned, repaired hastily to the Governor
and reported the state of alT iirs. Gov- St
ernor Greenhalge grabbed bis hat aDd M
beaded for the scea? of actim. Mean- Di
while, however, Swilt had finished aod Di
had ascended the stairs and stood out- Cs
side the chamber doer awaiting R?pre- St
sentative Mellen, whom he desirtdto Di
introduce the petition. . Ca
The Governor mat him. ' Did you
state that you would clean out the State
House V" asked the Governor.
Swift cowered. "1 did,'' he half mut- .
tered, "but I stated that we would do
it with the ballot." This was absolute- pj
ly untrue. "7,
''You wish to qualify it in that way,"
continued his Excellency.
"Yes," replied the agitator.
"Well,"said the Governor, clinching ^
his hands' "I do not like that language 'r~
sir, ard it won't be tolerated. I warn t;1
you that I will hold you personally re- ua
sponsible."
Swift's bravado was all gone. He
quickly slipped out of sight ana min- T,
gled with the crowd. Previous to this
episode, Governor Greenhalge had sum- j~c
mGned Representative Mellen to his S*
presence. rr
"Mr. Mellen," he said, "I want you to ^
be on the side of law ana order."
"You will have no stronger fighter in Pp
the cause,'' replied Representative Mel- r:*
ten witn earnestntss. P ,
Meanwhile Chief Wade of the district
police had telephoned to police head- ^
quarters and at 2:30 o'clccfe, lifty bias ^
coats marched up Beacon street, and or;
taking the side entrance to the State F:1
House made a clean swath through the ;01
mob, straight to doric hall, where they
halted to await the orders of the chief
Wade. J"
These orders s'ere not slow in com- rr
ing. They were to clear trie State House p ;
and grounds of the intruders, who at
that time had become a hiissing howl- ue!
ing mob. This was but the work cf a 8e
moment, for the mere sight of the biue
uniforms ?.nd brass buttons was appar- n~
cntly enough to queli all an&rcnistic co.
tendencies. Before the blue coats the w*
mob melted away, out of the hall, down *Ta
the broad steps and on to Beacon street. .
There were some shouts of "Kill the
police," but the shouters to?k good care
to keep in the background. Ins crowd
gradually made its way back to the
Common and the State House once ,
more resumed its accustomed quiet. ?0'

ill is enthusiss-ic in his praise of

"right man in the

himself more fully Air. Bell said:
'Why, I mean just this. The pro:dings
of the Court heretofore have

justice the place has been what
ght be called a regular Derjury faery.
Judge Simonton did all he could
purify if, but somehow did not suc?d.
I am sure that by the time
dge Brawley presides at one or two
)re sessions he will clean it out comstely.
Now here is the situation," contind
Mr. Bell. " The deputy marshals
