The old man was ordered to point out the hiding place of his money. He denied having any, but one of the men told him if he repeated that story his head would be blown otf. He then took them to his sleepingroom and tore up the carpet under the side of the bed next" to the wall and brought about §1,200 in bills. Three of the men were about to leave when the leader told them he knew there was more than that in the house. The old man denied, it.
The oookstove was filled with wood, and soon a redhot lire warmed up the room. The,men then took the old man and held biffi over the flames after removing the lids, burning his feet and tlie calves of his legs terribly. He remained obdurate. Again they held him over the stove until the pain caused him to faiut. Thej' then seized Mrs. Shonbrick and threatened the daughters with indignities, but all denied knowledge of any more money in the house.
Tlie men then took the old woman and held her over the flames until she was terribly burned. She refused any information. Again they raised her over the stove when she screamed that she would tell where the rest of the money was hidden. She was then so badly burned that they were compelled to carry her. She directed them to the cellar, where, under a barrel was concealed over §4,000, which they took and hastily left the house.
TWO
PHILADELPHIA, March 5.—The Philadelphia schooner Angie L. Green, Captain Lee, from Jacksonville, Jan. 20, which was believed to have been lost at sea, has just arrived at this port. With her arrival came also tidings of the safety of the schooner Joel F. Sheppard, Captain Welscli, which was also given up for lost. Captain Lee fell in with the missing schooner Sheppard oil Feb. lb, in latitude 35,50, longitude 09.04. Her forestay sail, jib and two tri-sails were all the sails that remained, and Captain Welscli reported having experienced severe weather.
Provisions were supplied to the vessel, and they parted company on tlie afternoon of that day, Captain Welsch requesting to be reported as all well. Her agents here, when notified of her safety, said that they had not expected to hear of her again. The Sheppard was bound to Boston with coal, and has been out since Feb. 4.
Not Long Out of a Job.
W YSIIIXGTON, March 5.—Within two hours alter Mr. Ransom of North Carolina ceased to represent that state as a senator, he had qualified as United States minister to Mexico. The ceremony took place in the room of Assistant Secretary Uhl, at 2 o'clock yesterday. Mr. Ransom will leave for home at once to put his personal affairs in shape, and will return to Washington the course of three weeks to receive his instructions before going to his post. William Crichton of West Virginia appointed secretary of Legation at Rio, also took the oath of office yesterday.
Wanted to Fight.
RICHMOND, Ky., March ft.—Richmond had a street battle yesterday evening between looal policemen and Tom Graves, a mountain desperado, who was drunk and wanted to fight. He drew a pistol and fired as lie rode through the principal streets. Officers chased him, and a running battle took plac«. He was shot in the head, back and shoulders, but rode a mile before falling from his horse. He was captured and taken to jail, where death awaits him.
CeusuN ltureau Ceases to Eii^t. WASHINGTON, March 5.—The census office ceased existence as a bureau yesterday, and hereafter, until the work of the eleventh census is completed, will constitute merely a division of the interior department. The division now consists of 90 clerks, three special agents, with George R. Donnell of Mississippi, the former clerk chief of the bureau, as division chief at a reduced salary of $2,000.
Insurrection in Jamaica.
NEW YOKK, March 5.—A special dig patch to The World dated Kingston. Jamaica, March 4, says: President Hyppolite and M. Fouchard have had conference since the rocetit row in the cabinet. The president accused Fouchard of treachery. A lively war of word* followed, Fouchard finally escaping from Hyppolite's clutches, and is actual Ij organizing an insurrection.

W. C. COUP DEAD.
The Oldest Showman iu the United States Passes Away. JACKSONVILLE, Fla., March 5.—W. C. Coup, the oldest showman in the United States, who has been critically ill at St. Luke's hospital for several days with pneumonia contracted at Tampa during the last cold snap, died yesterday. His son, W. C. Coup, Jr., arrived from Chicago Sunday in time to witness his father's death. The remains will be embalmed and shipped to Chicago.
The deceased was born in Pennsylvania in 1S26. He started his first show in 18513, and traveled through Missouri, and as the people in that region were bitter against the northerners, his road was rather rough, an he found it hard work to keep tlie aggregation together, finally the show had to be abandoned.
His second show was the first one in Mexico, and tilings were moving smoothly until they arrived at a point between Matamoras and Monterey, where a number of bandits swooped down upon them and captured the whole outfit.
In his third circus venture he had the late P. T. Barnum as a partner. The .show traveled in wagons until Mr. Coup determined the feasibility of ears, He designed and had built the first circus car which was run out of New Brunswick. N. J., and 10.000 people witnessed the loading. He was in partnership with Barnum for six years, when he again went out of the circus business.
In 18?:j he built the first Madison I Square Garden and opened with the "Congress of Nations." The costumes cost .$40,000, and 1,500 people were employed in the production. This he ran for four years, after which he went into partnership with Henry Reiche, an animal dealer, and started the Aquarium. Each invested $300,000. A dispute arose about keeping open on Sunday and the partners could not agree. Coup then borrowed money, purchased ?ome horses and made $750/000 in two years and started his famous $500,000 circus, which was wrecked on the Wabash railroad. He got $115,000 judgment against the road. He then starred a liorse and dog show with Professor Buckley.
Contest Growing Interesting. BOISE CITY, March 5.—The ballot for United States senator was exciting although there was but a slight change. Sweet's 19 had agreed to dissolve at 6 o'clock last night if there was no action. The result was a last heroic effort to get the Populist support. McCarthy, the chairman of the Populist caucus, was wron over by a telegram from Senator Peffer urging him to support Sweet. The ballot resulted: Shoup, 20 Sweet, 19 Claggett, 12. Then came a test of strength on a motion to adjourn. It was carried by the Shoup men by a vote of 2? to 24. The Sweet men have not given up the fight.
Failed to ltegain llis Health. Los ANGELES, March 5.—Samuel A. Browne, Sr., of Kalamazoo, Mich., the well known horse owner and breeder, died hero yesterday. Mr. Browne had been suffering for several months with lung trouble, and after having had several hemorrhages, came to Los Angeles a few weeks since for relief. The trouble had, however, progressed too far, and he sank steadily until yesterday, when a severe homorrage carried him off

BROOKLYN, Feb. 25.—If the conclusions of modern science are correct, mankind are indebted to remote ancestors much lower in the .".nimal crcation than themselves for a very dangerous and not infrequent disease. It were quite enough to provoke violent protest to be held morally accountable for the sin of the reputed father of tlie race, but to be made liable to bodily pains and penalties because a per-

son happened to have a simian or still lower grade forefather is sullicient to make one wish either that evolution were not true, or, if so, that useless organs, as in the caso of tlio tail, for example, had disappeared when thero was no further use for them in the bodily economy.,
Usefulness Outlived.
Unfortunately tlio vermiform appendix of the caecum was not evolved out of existence, and in ceasing to bo useful it became vory troublesomo. In surviving its function as a portion of the intestinal canal it became a menace to health and a constant source of danger. Tho danger was also much increased by the circumstance that tho symptoms accompanying disorders of tho appendix would direct tho attention of tho physician and patient to other portions of the body rather than to the seat of the troublo. In this disease the pain is usually felt in tho neighborhood of tho umbilicus, next in frequency is complained of in tho epigastrium, very infrequently in the region below the umbilicus, and least often of all is it felt iii the appendix itself. This circumstance has been responsible for many errors which havo been made in determining the character and location of the trouble.:.
The inflammatory lesions of tho appendix were formerly comprehended under the terms typhlitis, perityphlitis and paratyphlitis. The first was defined by Albers as inflammation of tho ciecum itself, the second as inflammation of the parts immediately surrounding tho ca cum and the third as inflammation of the postperitoneal tissue of the ca:cuin. Grisollo understood the true pathology of the disease and published his views in is:i9, but those of Albers got into the medical textbooks, and tho correct view was disregarded for over^ half a century until brought to light and| verified by Dr. Fitz of Boston and Dr. Mc Bumey of New York.
Acute appendicitis is characterized from tho outset by severe abdominal pain. Coincidcntly with the attack of pain or soon after it begins nausea and vomiting re-
quently occur. In cases where these are
produced by indigestion and intestinal colic the nausea is moro apt to precede the pain than to follow it, as in appendicitis.
Tho sudden occurrence of sharp, colicky pains should always direct the attention of tho sufferer and tho physician to tho appendix vormiformis, and a watchful care should be kept over this treacherous organ. As soon as tho diagnosis of progressive appendicitis is assured the abdominal cavity should be opened and the appendix removed. To operate too early may bo to operato unnecessarily, but it is bettor to do so than to operate too late and henco unsuccessfully, f^one but surgeons of repute and of assffred skill should bo employed to oporate, for, though to remove tho appendix is not fraught with great danger when tho operator is skillful, it may well become so when tho surgeon employed docs not understand his business properly.
Peculiarities of the Trouble. Mild cases of appendicitis may recover without surgical treatment, but quite often mild cases develop if»to acuto and aro of course much more difficult to euro than if operated upon boforo tho troublo became intensfiod in its character. The disease may pursue a rapid course in some cases to a fatal termination in 36 hours from tho beginning of the attack. In cases which have been successfully operated upon convalescence will usually occupy about throe woeks.
Appendicitis is much moro frequent among men than women, though the contrary is generally held to be the caso. Tho reason that women are less liable to tho disease is probably owing to tho fact that in them the appendix has an additional source of blood supply in the artery of the appendicular ovarian ligament and is in consequence better prepared to resist infection than tho less liborally supplied appendix of the male.
In former times appendicitis was supposed to be caused by the presence within the vermiform appendix of cherry stones, grape seeds, lemon and orange pits, date stones, fish bones, pins, etc. So firmly was this idea fixed in the lay and professional minds that children wero carefully watched while eating fruit to prevent them from swallowing a stone or seed which would lodge in this "deathtrap," as the appendix was popularly called, and produce what was at that time regarded asan almost necessarily fatal malady. Tho same fallacy is still vory proyalent among nonmedical people, and to assign such an origin to the disease is much more common than to attribute it to its real causes. No doubt the presence of such foreign substances in the appendix might cause trouble thore, as they would in other parts of the intestinal canal where they found lodgment and could not bo expelled. The Instances in which appendicitis has been Induced by such lodgments in tho appen

j,0 appendix to rid itself
part of tho appondi:
of fecal matter—Is proved to bo wrong by the fact that fecal matter and even coprollths have been found in the organ when there was no pain or trouble with tho appendix at all.
A Home For ierobes.
Tho generally received opinion now Is that appendicitis is caused by micro-or-ganisms which are conveyed into tho ap
pendix by fecal matter or otherwise. These organisms may be and probably aro the same as those usually found in the intestinal canal, where their being present is not regarded as a source of danger. When they enter the appendix, however, it is supposed to lie altogether different, as the lower n-.-isti:!g power of the organ makes it peculiarly .-nl.ject to infection.
Among the evo)u. ,- ry changes taking place in appendix and lending to its ultimate iii :11: :arance may be alterations in the '!iarac"-r of its epithelial lining, which distinguishes it from the lining of the civesmi and render it liable to bacterial inl' ctiun. So far as the tissues of the appendi:-: are eos.cenied, a progressively lowered vital re.-'1st ing power would ho the first and most obvious change, resulting from the disusage of the organ and its downward tendency toward final elimination from the body as a u.-eless append age.
The conclusion is now regarded by nic ical men as being almost irresistible t!. infection is not only the principal and necessary cause of appendicitis, but mar it is also the primary cause. Some infectious mat'-rial enters tho appendix and becomes fixed there, owing to the vi ry iu ellieicnt expulsive power possess, I• lie part. The low vitality anil weak re-i, ,..^" power po.-.-e.-sed by the oruan eun-iMt ii a gooii field for propagating bacteria ,-i e, developing hoe conditions consunp the disua.se of appendicitis.
Net a New Xroubit
Diseases of the appendix aro probah!-v-not more frequent than they were, hcri' fore unless the evoiut ionary process winch'the vestigial organ is undergoing muk»\. it mure apt to be diseased in modern linn This supposition is, however, very itnpr able, as the work of evolution is so MO*» performed and is marked by such ~-iLei increments of change that during the tire period comprised in the history ol -!iv human race the organ has probaiay uniiergone no appreciable change.
It is only within tho last six years th disorders of the appendix ha\c bie'i rei red to tho real seat of the trouble. Thoug as before stated, the true pathology of op pendicitis was known more than 50 yea ago, this knowledge did not become generally diffused, and physicians almost J.' variably in their diagnoses referred t..e trouble to the ca.'cum or adjoining pat"..This circumstance, it is quite obvious, accounts for tho frequency with which we havo heard of diseases of the appendix in recent years as compared with the paucity of mention previously.
Investigations on tho subject of tho ve:v miform appendix have led to tho opinion being almost invariably held by physiologists that the organ is a useless one, while, there cannot be any diversity of opinion as to its being a dangerous one. The science and natural theology of a few d--cades ago held the view that every species was of independent origin and every structure designed for use in tho organism in which it occurred. The student of comparative anatomy, however, who cxlvm.s his researches beyond a single species v. :Jl become awaro that there are structures tho animal economy the presence of whim cannot be accounted for or function item onstrated by the study of them in relation to the organism in which they exist. '1 he vermiform appendix of theca'cum, Irom ono to five inches in length and one-tntro of «ni inch in breadth, is in this eati :.'iy, and having survived its usefulne.-o it li..i become dangerous. liesjSing the Question.
Tho little rudimentary organ is not. .• however, without its uses, as it suppln tho advocates of evolution with a confirmation of their theory. Professor Drum mond in his recently published I o.ik, '"Tho Ascent of .Man," seizes upon t!•* appendix with avidity and parades it boforo his readers with evident pride as a. .?, piece of evidence which would cunvki them in an}' court of having a disagreeably close relationship with creatures of a r\ low grade in the zoological scale.
Appendicitis has been sometimes spol.i of as a fashionable disease, but why ii is difficult to say. Gout and niecrim weilong regarded as aristocratic disorders and. as conferring a certain kind of dignity*,*® upon the sufferer, as the first infemd rich wines and high living, and the sec ond prosupposod a highly developed nerv

No such reason, liowover, can he urged in behalf of appendicitis as a fashionable disease, as It is In truth equally at home iu tho palace or in tho hovel. Possibly its popularity may havo been duo to tho fact that the nomenclature of the dlseaso is only of re cont origin, and perhaps the mellifluous flow of the soft Bounding word as uttered by a lady may havo contributed to give tho disease a species of fashionablo notoriety.

"I never was able to prevent tho shells for pies which I baked before filling from puffing and rising in spots," said a housekeeper the other day, "until I learned tho sec rot from a pastry cook. When baking them for small, juicy fruits, like cherries, huckleberries or rhubarb, he covered tho shell before putting it in tho ovon with a piece of oiled paper, and put in bits of bread that wore needed to bo brov/ned, and In this way perfectly preserved tho evenness of the under crust. Tho fruit wns oookod separately and thickened slightly with cornstarch before pouring into tho shell. "Tho same cook advised tho sprinkling with salt of apples used in cooking, as it much improved their flavor and lessened tho amount of sugar needed to sweeten them. Ho frowned on any spices iu applo pies as utterly ruinous to their delicacy In tho lato winter, when the fruit is apt to bo rather tasteless, a little grated orange or lemon peel might be permitted, but tho generous i&ctoring with cinnamon, nutmeg, even cloves and allspice, practiced by some cooks, ho regarded as barbarous."
