ChaimeU by a Mormou Utah, Woman That Catholic Scheme. Prosperity Press and Reporter. A dispatch from Asheville, N. C. to the Charleston Newa and Courier, states that his eminence, Cardinal James Gibbons, was interviewed at Asheville concerning the Hot Springs Immigration Convention,and giyes to the p.iblie the following remarks of the Cardinal: “The Hot Springs Immigration Convention was no one sided affair. It was the creation of Bishop Becker, of Savannah, and Major John D Kelly, of New York, and its object was to people the sections of the South with hogpst, thrifty immi grants, in order to develop the un bounded resources and build up a section of country that has long been lying in a comparatively comatose state. l‘To this meeting at Hot Springs the clerg3’ and laity of all denomina tions were most cordially invited to ntplipip^te. The work was and is a great oqt), and the combined efforts of | claims if (,ho has any all our best people should be directed to the materialization of those plans which most effect and contemplate our country’s general good. It was not surely ^pd singly a Catholic movement to induce Cathqlic ijnmi gration to come to the Southland. The religious belief and inclination of the immigrant was not, and is not now, to he questioned, provided that ♦ic 1^ an inmij.-l, gV>ou ana law- T Notice has been published in the News apd Courier of the commence ment of a suit to escheat the estate of the late William Robb, of this city The escheator is, of course, the county auditor, Mr. Eason, who representec by Messrs Barker, Gilliland & Fitzsi mens. The property described as the sole property of the deceased is assessed for taxation at about 1110,000; that de scribed as the joint property of the deceased and Mr. Thompson is as sessed at about $20,000. The history of the suit is about as follows: Mr. William Robb came to Charleston many years ago and set tled here. He followed the business of a horticulturist and seedmau anr acquired quite a competency. He died in 1885, leaving a will by which he bequeathed to his surviving copart ner, Mr. Thompson, a life interest in all such property owned by the two jointly. The balance of his real estate and the remainder of the joint proper ty given to Mr. Thompson for life was directed to be divided between such persons as could establish a claim thereto under the intestate laws of the State. Soon after Mr. Robb’s death the es- cheator—County auditor—was inform ed that the deceased had died without lawful heirs, and proceedings to es cheat the property were instituted. These were resisted by a Mormon el der named Mure, living in Utah Ter ritory, and who claimed that his wife Jane Robb Mure, was the sister and consequently’ the legal heir of the de ceased. The proceedings in escheat were thereupon interrupted, pending the determination of this issue. The case was carried before the Supreme Court, where it was argued last De cember. The decission which was filed recently, directed that the es cheat proceedings should continue, and the claimant will have now the opportunity’ of traversing the inquest of escheat and of establishing her The State rests its claim on the ground that the claimant is not the lawful heir of William Robb,being an illegitimate child. Of course, if the wife of the Mormon elder can prove the legitimacy of her birth, she estab lishes at once her claim to the estate. On this ground the legal battle will be fought. < Messrs, B.n-ker.nillilnml A- Fitzr.iiu. rppre: • A TAB-EOr™***. A New Trust Formed To Control *t»e Price ofFFrwr. Sx. Louis, August 3.—Circulars have been issued by Alex. H. Smith secretary of the St. Louis millers’ as sociation, calling a meeting of the millers of Missouri, Illinois, Kansas Indiaua.Tennessee and of all the win ter wheat States, for the purpose or forming a flour trust. The meeting is to be held in St. Louis August 31st An agreement has already Been sign ed by all the prominent millers of St Louis. The St. Louis association have a capacity of 17,000 barrels per day. The agreement is very rigid in its stipulations. It is proposed to call the trust the “Central Millers’ Association,’’ the object being to secure to the members a legitimate profit in products. In italics will be found the following stipulation in the agreement: “Abso lute submission to the authority, of which the individual member is only an integral part. The power of the directors is made absolute. They’ are to fix the prices; may order a reduc tion in the output or the closing down of a mill; contract with brokers to act for the members of the association; credits are not to exceed thirty days; mills at points tributary to St. Louis, Detroit or Toledo shall not pay over current prices for same grades of wheat or flour in those markets, less two* thirds of tlje freight rate thereto. All sales less than car lots must he 10 cents higher than current minimum prices.” The trust proposes to control, absolutely’, the output, price and sale of flour in the territory it will govern. The circular lias been kept a profound secret until to-day, and the promoters of the project are very angry over its gaining publicity’. In the last issue of the Recorder we gave our readers an insight into the meaning that the Bagging Trust lasfor fheir. Now they’ have the Flour rust to submit to. Aiken County is not a wheat producing, or milling section, but our farmers use a great- deal of flour,and they will have to pay whatever tribute the Millers Trust of St. Louis sees fit to exact.

This is the main is sue, and whether he be Catholic or uon-^atholic he will he truly wel comed and appreciated.” The foregoing remarks of Cardinal Gibbons, taken in connection with the facts already published concerning the Hot Spi'iigs Convention, prove that no mistake was made when the movement was branded as a Catholic Scheme. The (’ardinal admits, he could not help but admit, that “it was the creation of Bishop Becker, of Savannah, and Major John D. Keiley’, of New York,” but strives to make the publfp believe that Catholics will not be given a preference. Now, the originator of the immigration project, unfortunately for the (’ardinal but for tunately for the people of the South land, is on record regarding this mat ter. Bishop Becker says: “It seems to us that select coloniza tion of Catholic* in thp Southern States would, first, be of the greatest advantage to those who choose to come South ; second, it would advance the interests of those States; third, the railroad companies would have much more actua] work and the peo ple greater facilities than up to the present; fourth, the Church should take the initiative before others rush in and exclude forever from competi tion on any’ favorable footing the CuU.cjic. eltment.’ i The people of this State—excepting (.’apt F. \V.

There lore, uco<*i.iitlie thnmOR^rig io* gicians, wages should be higher in Mexico than here. Germany has a tariff for protection and England has not. Therefore, according to these logicians, wages; should be higher in Germany than in England. But what Is the fact ? Let ns learn from high tariff authority ?

William’s withered arm plays as con spicuous a part in political life as Byron’s club foot in literary life. Each is due to a similar cause and each has engendered an equal inveteracy; Byron hated his mother, William is not particularly fond of his, and the dowager, in turn, cherishes au aver sion to German physicians. When Byron, while bathing with Leigh Hunt in the Bay of Naples, pointed to his club foot and cursed his mother for his mortifying deformity,it was eommeqtary enough lounderstand that morbid genius which had at ouce Lucifer’s brightness and his ’’immor tal hate and study of revenge. ’’And so the Kaiser, whose warlike aspirations are the entertainment and terror of Europe, has his withered arm as a constant inspirey of hatred and of chagrin. To this has been ascribed his ha tred of England and the English; but it turns out that to the blunders of a German physician the Kaiser owes his shrunken arm. Says a writer in London Truth: Tlie left arm is not deformed, but withered, or rather dwarfed. The nerves which vitalize it were subject ed to great ami nrolouged pressure during birth, so thu_*he:r conducting power was destroyed, Hence the mus cles of the arm were parax/zed, and became wasted from want of use, and the limbs did not grow with tlie rest of the body’. The responsibility of this rests with the German doctors who officiated on theoooasion. a fact which FEVER IN* JACKSONVILLE. An Outbreak oi the Plague Feared.

Steadily increase tho pressure while you count 1—2—8, thou suddenly let go with a final push, which springs you Into an erect kneeling position. Re main erect upon vuur knees while you count 1—2, then throw your weight for ward aud proceed again as before. Re peat the process at first about five times a minute, increasing the rate gradually to about fifteen times a minute, aud continue It with the regularity of the natural broathiug, which you are imitating. If another person ho present, let him with the left hand hold the tip of tho tongue out of tho left side of tho mouth, with the corner of a pocket handkerchief, while with tho right hand he grasps both wrists and pins them to the ground above tho patient’s head. After treatment—When breathing first rcturus, dash a little cold water In tho face. As soon as breathing has been per fectlv restored, strip and dry the patient rapidly and completely, and wrap him in blankets only. Give hot brandy and water, a teOs^oonful every five minutes the first half hour, and a teaspoonful every liftcen for an hour after that. If tho limbs aro dry, apply fx-iction. Allow an abundance of fresli air, and let tho patient have perfect rest. Avoid delay. Promptness Is of the first importance. A moment lost may be a life lost. Waste no time in gaining shel ter. When gained it oftener banns than helps tho patient. Prevent crowding around tho patient. Ilowevor difficult this may be. It must bo enforced. Friends must not be allowed.to obstruct tho circulat ion of air, nor en- tho patient iu conversation when ing. Avoid attempts to give stimulants b% , fore the patient is well able to swallow. It helps to obstnict respiration aud may choko tho patient. Avoid hurried, irregular motions. The excitement of tho moment is almost sure to cause this in Inexperienced hands Just us a flickering candle, moved care* kwslv, goes out, so tho heart, when its beatings are imperceptible, needs but little cross motion to stop it. Tho move ments of rule three should therefore bo K rformed with deliberation and regu- lity. Avoid on, overheated room, and avoid giving np the patient too soon to death At any time within one or two hours you may bo on the very’ threshold of success, though no sign be visible. Frequently success has been known to. follow Laif aii. hour’s apparently useless effort. Rest and watchful nursing should be con tinued for a few days after resuscitation, or various chest troubles may ensue.— Rome Physician. Th» French General's Fatal Impetuosity. Fighting with n Foreigner—The Coile In Various Countrios—Xtesenod from an O- tremely Embarrassing Predicament. There U no man living who has fought more real, hard, to the death duels toss CoL Monstory, the veteran disciple of the art of running one’s fellow man through the ribs. CoL Monsterv has fought duels In Europe, in Mexico, South and Central America and other countries whore the sword is the arbiter of the quarrel. To a reporter who enjoyed a chat with him the other day, the colonel explained why Gen. Boulanger's course in his recent encounter bad damaged his (Boulanger’s) reputation as a great soldier. “Gon. Boulanger.” said ho. In his brisk way. “from what l learn by the papers, brought about his defeat by his lack of coolness and consequent funr of attack, lie rushed blindly on his foe, losing nil of ftt-ttUcnco and SKUt tn tno desire to inflict injury. For an expert swords man to overcome such an attack Is aa easy matter He has only to wait coolly for his antagonist to leave an opening and then sail in. Boulanger's fatal Impetuositv in this instance is tbo best‘possible proof, to the view of any soldier, of his lack of ability to command. Kucha man mokes a good fighter in. ordinary warfare, but no commander. Ho is fitted to obey orders; to give them—neverl I have admired Boulanger until now, and looked for it things from him as a general. But my judgment ho has no discretion. His conduct in this duel justifies the supposi tion that In a great conflict', In which two K t arm led were engaged, he would act _ rocistfly the same way as he did in bis fight with Fioquot; he would hazard all on one desperate move, and os a result— lose. This, mind you, is the view of an old soldier, and I tell you it can’t be wrong. A hot hood makes a good fighter, but no general. ” Passing on to a general commentary on duoling, past and present, CoL Monstory expressed the keenest contempt for the average French duel of the day. It is the explicit understanding, ho salo, that when two Parisian gentlemen qf today decide to settle a quarrel with the rapier, the first- flow of blood, no matter by which re ceived, nhall end the combat. He thought tho existence of this understanding was tho French government’s pretext for ita recognition of dueling as a nat.lfinnl (q. Stitutiou. '• There are, of course, occasional excep tions to this rule,” he added, “and there Is nearly always an exception when one of tho combatants is a foreigner. A Frepciv- mnn will always kill a foreigner in a duel If he can, particularly If it is an English man. ’fills was the case in the famous duel between Mr. Dillon, an English Jour nalist, and the Duke do Grammont de Chartreuset, which took place in Paris eighteen or twenty years ago. The duke was a thorough master of the rapier, and the Englishman kr*sw nothing of the weapon. At the very first assault tho duko, by a skillful play, sent his adver sary’s sword flying from his hand. Ho then sprang like lightning on his un armed adversary and ran him through- fought today, however, the French ^rTourstT when ^tho^ddeTfa^ light with pistols. Firearms cannot be fooled with safely, and are much moro likely to kill than to maim. Tlicre was an instance of this in Paris a few weeks ago, when an artist shot dead at the first lire a journalist who had too harshly criti cised some of his pictures. “Wlieu a Frenchman who is challenged to fight a duel chooses pistols os tho weapons, ono may know he means busi ness. His choice of swords only means a little theatrical display and a reconcilia tion. It is evident, though, that tho Floquet-Boulangor affair was serious enough. Boulanger plainly meant to kill his adversary, and when Fioquot saw what he was at I liavo no doubt but that ho fought to kill also. No man con see another striving to tako his lifo and not return tho compliment. Between you and tno, I think Boulanger was in great luck. A mr.n who employs tho tactics he did la tho presence of a skillful swordsman will bo killed in nine cases out of ton.” With regard to tho code in other oot tries, Ool. Monsterey remarked that tl: men of Mexico and the Central American republics were the fiercest and most in veterate duelists. He recalled the famous duel of twenty years ago in tho City of Mexico, between CoL Garcia, an Ameri can, and CoL Mojca, a Mexican. Rifles wore tho weapons used, and CoL Garcia, who was lr.me, chose to fight sitting In a chair. Ho never rose from the chair, though, for tho range was short, and tho Mexican shot him dead at the first fire. CoL Moustery has in his studio tho rec ords of an instance where lie was ablo, on the shortest kind of notico, to extricate a truculent young man tropi an extremely embarrassing predicament. He was sib ling in his office in New York ono gloomy evening in 1871, when there was a nerv ous knock 0:1 tho door. “Como in,” cried he, and on tho invitation tlicre catered a young man, wlyj proved on inquiry to bo one Col. Cauzi. a soldier of the cays of Garibaldi, wba immediately began to un fold tho talo of his plight. Ho was andcr contract, it scorned, to fight at dawn with Gen. Fardella, ailso a tried and courageous veteran. Tho weapons to he used were sabers, and Canzi know about as much of handling a saber as ho did of cooking a Welsh rarebit. Ho necked sleep badly, and two hours was all ho had in which to lenm enough to save his Hfe. Those blessed two hours the colonel employed in teaching him two vicious cuts, either 0:10 of which, if well deliv ered, was calculated to cut off his adver sary in his prime. Ho was told to bid® his time, weai’ tho general out- by defen sive tactics, and then send his cut homo at tho proper moment. Canzi departe<l full of hope, and followed out his orders to tho letter. After twenty minutes of hard fighting, during which he syccess- fnliy repelled Fardella’s attacks, ho de livered one of his two cuts with such con scientiocs effect that the general’s sword arm was slit clear from elbow to waist, completely disabling him. Tho press of the country teemed with extended ac counts of tho affair, and Canzi was ever afterward regarded as a had man with tho saber.—Inter Ocean Interview.
