IMPORTUNING DELEGATES. Candidates for Positions on the Democratic State Ticket Here in Force. Tlie Friends of Colonel Gray Positive that He Will Head the Ticket—Chances of Other Aspirants, The delegates to the Democratic State convention began arriving yesterday, but there will not be much of a crowd in the city until this afternoon. The candidates are all here, and were about the hotels yesterday afternoon consulting the first arrival of delegates; but very few came in before evening, and then there was no such crowd as was expected. General Mauson, the “war horse’’ candidate for the nomination for Governor, arrived during the morning, and divided his time during the day between the Bates House aud Grand Hotel. He is relying mainly upon the ‘ ‘war-horse*’ cry for his success, and seems to be quite hopeful. There is more reliable strength, however, in the support of Colonel Gray’s candidacy, and, from the indications, it seems that he will be nominated on the first ballot, /tidge David Turpie will go into the convention with a good support, hut there is nothing to indicate that there is any chance for his nomination. •JL) will probably get the solid Marion county vote, and several of the southwestern counties will give him some support: but it is doubtful if he will get more than 230 votes in all. The feeling seems to prevail that Gray is entitled t o the nomination. It was promised him so ur years ago, and all who were in that convention that are now delegates will, to use a phrase that has become popular politicians, endeavor “to deliver the goods.” There are many delegations that have been instructed for him, and his support is firmly of the •rst-last-and-all-the-time kind. There is still much quiet talk about the nomination of Senator Voorhees, bat it has not yet developed into a pronounced boom. Col. Gray, when asked last night if ho had heard of the talk about the nomination of Voorhees. replied, “Oh. yes; I have heard it for years.” He seems well satisfied with his prospects, and last night the talk was all in his favor. There were some symptoms of a revival of the Hendricks boom during the evening. The advisability of urging the nomination upon him whs quietly discussed among a few of the politicians, but it did not result in any determination. Congressman Stotzenburg is a “dark horse’ aspirant who is likely to remain in the shade. THE LIE UTEN AN T-GO V EKNORSHIP. There are several aspirants for the nomination for Lieutenant-governor, but the most spirited fight for it is being made by James H. Willard and Col. I. B. McDonald. Senator Bell, of Fort Wayne, is spoken of with much favor, but he is making no effort to get the nomination. The owl statesman, th.e Honorable James W. Cabbage, feels that the nomination is due him as a recognition of iiis illustrious statesmanship,and ho is in the field as a candidate. Colonel McDonald’s success will depend upon the defeat of Colonel Gray for Governor, Willard has made a rather vigorous canvass, and hie chances for getting the nomination are regarded as very good, as, with the exception of Cobbage. ho is the only avowed candidate from the southern part of Hie State. Major G. Y. Menzies could get the nomination if he desire 1 it, but lie told a Journal reporter emphatically last night that lie wae not a candidate for it and did not want it. Charles Jewett, who was one of the Democratic leaders in the last Legislature, has been mentioned as one of the aspirants for the place, but he says that he is not a candidate, for the verv good reason that he believes there is no cfance for his nomination; be sides, he is a candidate for re election to the Legislature, and there is nothing more honorable, he thinks, than to be a member of the Indiana House of Representatives. However, if the nomination for Lieutenant governor should be tendered him. Jewett thinks that he might accept it Senator Bell says tluit lie is not a candate, as lias been announced, but he wants to bo chosen one of the delegates at large to the Chicago convention. There is some talk of nominating General Manson for Lieutenantgovernor, but if there is no change in the aspects of the situation last night, the ticket is likely to be headed by Gray and Willard. •John E. Lamb, the congressman from the Eighth district, is being urged for the nomiua tion by his friends, but it is not known that he is a candidate. Lewis Jordan, of this city, came out as a candidate yesterday, but his appearance hi the contest failed to create any great sensation or develop any form. THE STRUGGLE FOR RV.PORTISK. The most spirited contest is for the nomination for Reporter of the Supreme Court. John W. Kern, of Kokomo, and Willis G. Neff, of Greencastle, are in the lead, but Kern seems to have something of an advantage in his claims and in his geographical location, which figure prominently as considerations. Neff is well known in the party, and his friends will give him a strong support. He is disabled for life from the effects of an accident which happened to him two or three years ago, and he uses crutches in walking. An objection which is urged in opposition to his nomination is that in the Fifth district, where he lives, the party has already been given more than it is entitled to. The Attorney-general is from Bartholomew county: a Supreme Court Commissioner, an Insane Hospital Commissioner, and a trustee of the Blind Asylum from Owen county; a State House Commissioner from Monroe, a State librarian and Insane Hospital Trustee from Morgart, ft congressman and Trustee of the Blind Asylum from Putnam, Keril, accompanied by a delegation of his fPlends from Kokomo, arrived yesterday morning, and. with his lieutenant, Oscar Henderson, editor of tho Kokomo Dispatch, looked after the delegates at the Bates House, while A. F. Armstrong and George D. Tate are his representatives at room No. Bat the Grand Hotel. The Kokomo fellows are “hustlers*’ and are confident that their man will succeed. Clark, of Martin county, is the most formidable opponent of Kern and Neff. W. S. O’Rourke, of Fort Wayne, is a can didato. and is working hard for the nomination. Charles E. Barrett and Thomas J. Wolfe, both from Sullivan, are making a fight for the place. As both cannot be nominated, neither is likely to be. Os the two. however Barrett is the more prominent as a candidate. Several persons are spoken of for chairman of the convention, but C. C. Matson, who arrived yesterday, and is stopping at the Denison, is mentioned as the one who is most likely to be chosen. Senator Voorhees has no desire to preside. Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks be made chairman of tho committee on resolutions, and he will address the convention. Alderman Bernliamer, of this city, wants to be the secretary. The new State committee will be organized on Thursday. Eb. Henderson, of Martinsville, and Thomas B. Byrne, of Evansville, who are aspirants for chairman, are here. THE DISTRICT MEETINGS. The meetings of the different district delegations for organization will be held this evening at 7:30 o’clock, at the places designated, as follows: First District—Auditor of State’s office, in the State building. Second District —Superior Court room No 1. in tho Court-house building. Third District—Auditor of State’s office. Fourth District —Superior Court room No. 2. Ffth District —Attorney general’s office. SixthJDistrict—Superior Court room No. 3. Seventh District—Criminal Court room. Eighth District—Consultation room of the Buprome Court, in the State building. Ninth District—Secretary of State’s office. Tenth District—Clerk of the Supreme Court’s office. Eleventh District—State Librarian’s office. Twelfth District —Supremo Courtroom Thirteenth District—State Librarian's office. At these meetings each district will select its

delegates to the national convention, to be held at Chicago, a presidential elector, and a member of each of the convention committees. ADDENDA. Bayless Hanna, “that grand old Roman,” is here. Senator Voorhees arrived early this morning and is stopping at the Denison. Reuben Daily, of tho JeftorsonviTTe News . is here, and is likely to be heard from before he leaves. James M. Cropsy, Frank Landers and Charles Bridges want to be the member of the State committee for the Seventh district. Thomas E. Garvin, whom William Heilman defeated for Congress in 1880, is here as a delegate from Vanderburg eounty. Senator R. C. Bell, of Fort Wayne, and Mr. Stotzeuberg are candidates for delegates at large to the national convention. The presence of Jason B. Brown, who came in early yesterday, may be accepted as an assurance that the convention will be quiet and harmonious. As the Hon. John Ferriter. irreverently called Metropolitan Jack, is a vigilant observer among the delegates, the party will doubtless be prevented from going to ruin. J. G. Shanklin, the ex-Secretary of State, and Harry Hodden, are here, as the representatives of the Evansville Courier and the Vauderburg county Democracy. Shanklin is one of the leading supporters of Turpie. If Kokomo Kern is not nominated for Reporter of the Supreme Court it will not bo the fault of his devoted limitcnunt, Mr. Oscar Henderson, who b giving all the enthusiasm of his vigo*ous young manhood to the cause of his friend. A rather boisterous dispute arose at the Grand Hotel, last night, between Auditor Laughlin and John 1). Lyle, of Bartholomew county, over the question of which was the best Democrat. Each endeavored to read the other out of the party, and there were some very loudly uttered accusations of a nature to cause peace disturbance. Lyle finally remarked that he knew what Laughlin wanted, which had a crushing effect. PERSONAL MENTION. Hon. Bay less W. Hanna, of Crawfordsville, is at the Bates. Senator Samuel B. Voyles, of Salem, is at the Grand Hotel. C. C. Woodmansee, the celebrated horseman, is at the Bates. Hon. Henry S. Cauthorne and Royal E. Purcell, of Vincennes, are at the Bates. Col. John S. Williams, of the Lafayette Sun day Times, is in the city, and will remain to attend the Democratic convention. Mr. George V. Parker, of tho Philadelphia Times, formerly connected with the Indianapolis press, passed through the city, en route West for a short vacation. Capt. E. T. Johnson has resigned the position of special examiner, pension bureau, to engage in the practice of law at Atlanta, Ga., having been offered an advantageous partnership. A private letter from a former Indiunapolitan, now residing at Naples, says: “It did me great good to see young Charley Mayer in Naples. A native Indianapolitan always likes to see his fellow-townsmen, and to feel that the heart beats as warm as his for the goodly city far over the water. Young Mayer ‘did’ Vesuvius, Pompeii aud the lions in general, hut did not escape the enterprising hotel porter, who is in league with every livery-stable man, and persuaded Charley and his Illinois friends that there was no railroad to Pompeii and, therefore, they must take a two horse carnage. The two-horse carriage takes six hours to go and come over a most dusty road, through dirty suburbs, and costs twenty-five francs for four people: the railway (built in 1834) sends its cars by the express line in forty minutes—cost for four people there and back twelve francs. Lots of American and English are thus ‘done.’ I do not say this for Charley, who is gonerall y a \,' le awake fellow, but for future Indianapolitaiis who come over to this ‘furrain land.’ n Hotel Arrivals.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, TUESDAY, JUNE 24, 1884.

PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS. THE SENATE. Rejection of Mr. Ingalls's Proposition to Pay Pensions from Date of Discharge. Washington, Juno 23.—A resolution was adopted directing the committee on expenditures of public money to investigate tho recent defalcations in and frauds upon the Navy Department, and to inquire into the system of making disbursements aud purchases of supplies, with a view to determine whether it embraces sufficient safeguards against defalcations and frauds. The Mexican pensions bill was then taken up and consideration proceeded with, Mr. Plumb giving notice that, whether this bill be finished to day or not. lie would to-morrow move to take up the Atlantic & Pacific land grant forfeiture bill. The pending question in connection with the Mexican pensions bill was on an amendment by Mr. Ingalls, dating the pensions of Union soldiers from the date of discharge or disability, and extending to Oct. 1, 1884, the limitation of time to file applications for arrears. Mr. Sherman very much regretted to he obliged to oppose any proposition favored by Union soldiers, but he knew the soldiers themselves were divided about this proposition. His heart and his feeliugs were all with tho soldiers. He appreciated the value of their services to the country for generations } r et unborn. This proposition, however, affected the interests of all the people of the United States, not only soldiers, but citizens. The committee on pensions had not recommended it; the House of Representatives had not recommended it. It was based on the motion of a single senator. The Commissioner of Pensions had estimated that this proposition would involve the payment of $246,000,000. He asked senators whether this was a time to so greatly enlarge the demands upon the treasury. When the act of 18?.) was passed it was a time of great plenty, after specie payments had been resumed, and when the surplus in the treasury was fast accumulating and the treasury overflowing. That time was not this time. Our revenues were now rapidly falling off, a great shrinkage of values was going on, and securities which in 1879 were considered good, were now believed worthless. At a time which no one can doubt to be one of severity, we are called on to pay out these enormous sums. The mere amount would not deter him if there was a legal promise to pay; if the promise had been made by the United States to the soldiers that they w ould pay them from the date of their discharge to this time; in such case he would say, “to tho winds, with all considerations of severity upon the people;” but there was no law aud no moral ground for that argument to apply to pensions. No government in tho world could endure if it should attempt to pay all claims and arrears of claims arising out of its misfortunes. Mr. Sherman put himself on the broad ground that a soldier who lias for twenty years waivod his right to pension, either because he did not desire it, or was too proud to claim it, had no legal or even moral or equitable right now to embarrass his government. He believed the adoption of this amendment would be an embarrassing thing for the people of the United States. It would break down all restrictions on all sorts of claims. He would like to see the pension law so amended as to provide for the cases of hardships. He was willing to respond as quickly as any man to any reasonable demand of the Union soldiers; yet when an unreasonable demand was made for them, he would have the courage to vote against it, even at a risk of being misunderstood. Mr. Conger said there were many thousands of soldiers who had had no opportunity to present their claims within the time fixed in the act of 1879, and there was no reason in law or equity why they should be discriminated against The amendment of Mr. Ingalls was just and equitable, and should be adopted. Mr. Ingalls said it would be gratifying to the country to understand that Mr. Sherman held pensions were not a contract but a gratuity which the United States could give or withhold as it pleased. He called Mr. Sherman’s .attention to the fact that the Republican platform of Ohio, twelve years ago, and that of the Republican national convention of this year, declared for the thing which this measure embodied: yet the Senator from Ohio (Mr. Sherman) deliberately disavowed that declaration, and declared it was not binding upon the conscience nor upon the political action of those who may bo called on to vote on the question. Mr. Ingalls favored liberty of opinion, but if tho declarations referred to were to be declared by those in authority not to be binding, then it would bo well for the party managers to put up notice, as railroad managers did, that “passengers are not allowed to stand on the platform.’’ Mr. Sherman deprecated this introduction of party platforms to guide Senators in the performance of their sworn duties. When he remembered that the platform of the late Republican convention had been made up in a few hours’ time, on a sweltering hot day, by forty-two men suddenly called together, most of whom had never seen each oilier before, he did not think it should be called a guide for senators in the performance of their public duty here. He thought it an extraordinary spectaclo that it should be attempted to so make it a guide. He had as much respect as anybody for the opinion of his party, but it was the Congress of the United States, that, under the Constitution, must prescribe laws for our couutry. Our Democratic friends would be in a very sorry predicament if he should present to them their party platforms for the last twenty years as a guide for their action here—in fact, they were in a sorry predicament any way. But a senator of the United States must have some better guide than a hastily arranged party platform. He [Mr. Sherman] would not be afraid to go before any crowd of soldiers in the United States and make the argument ho had made to-day. He believed the judgment of the prudent, sensible, candid, and fair men among them would be with him. Mr. Ingalls’s amendment was voted down, yeas twenty-six, nays thirty seven, as follows: Yeas—Messrs. Allison, Blair, Bowen, Cameron (of Wisconsin), Conger, Culloin. Dawes. Dolph. Frye, Hale, Harrison. Ingalls. Logan, McMillan. Mahone, Maudersou, Miller of California. Miller of New York, Mitchell, Palmer, Pike, Plumb, Sawyer, VanWyck and Wilson—26. Nays—Messrs. Aldrich, Bayard, Beck, Brown, Call, Cockrell, Coke, Colquitt, Edmunds. Fair, Farley, Garland. George. Gorman, Groome, Hampton, Harris, Hawley. Jackson, Jonas, Jones, of Florida. Kenna, Lamar, McPherson, Maxey. Morgan, Morrill, Pendleton, Pugh. Ransom, Riddleberger, Saulsbnry. Sewell, Sherman, Slater, Vance, Vest, Walker ami Williams. Mr. Mitchell offered as an amendment the sub stance of the pension bill introduced by Mr. Cullom early in May, providing pensions for all invalid soldiers and sailors who were discharged from the army or navy of the United States after three months’ service in the war of the rebellion and for widows and dependent parents of deceased pensioners. Adopted. Thirty-two yeas, twenty seven nays, as follows: Yeas—Messrs. Aldrich. Allison. Blair. Bowen. Cameron of Wisconsin, Conger, Cnllom. Dawes. Dolph, Frye, Hale, Hawley, Harrison, Ingalls, Jones of Nevada. Laph&m, Logan, McMillan. Malume, Mundersoil, Miller of California, Miller of New York, Mitchell. Morrill, Pike, Platt. Plumb, Riddleberger, Sawyer* Sewell, Sherman and Wilson—32. Nays—Messrs. Bayard, Beck, Call, Cockrell. Coke. Colquitt, Fair. Farley, George, Gorman. Groome, Hampton, Jackson, Jones or Florida. Kenna, McPherson. Maxey, Morgan, Pendleton, Pugh. Ransom. Salisbury, Slater, Vauce, Vest, Walker aud Williams —27. * Before this was agreed to, Mr. Morgan moved to postpone consideration of tho bill until December, as lie saw, he said, the Mexican soldiers could not get a fair chance while this bill was being treated as a political measure. Lost Mr. Vest said the object of the majority of the Senate was evidently to kill the bill, not by a fair shot, but by loading it down with amendments. He could not vote for it as amended, feeling that the majority was influenced by the fact that the war wiili Mexico, which had shed so much glory on the American arms, was a Democratic war. Mr. Conger supposed it then followed that the war for the Union had been a Republican war. Mr. Vest said ho had not said so. Mr. Conger remarked that he would then say so on Ins account, After some further discussion, it was agreed, on the suggestion of Mr. Allison, to adopt the

ten minute rule for speeches to-morrow, and come to a vote on tho bill and amendments at 3 o’clock. Adjourned. TIIE HOUSE. Tlfe Sundry Civil Bill Passed Under Suspension of the Utiles. Washington, . June 23. —Mr. Hancock introduced a hill authorizing the fundingof the entire bonded debt of the United States in 2 per cent, fifty year bonds, whicli was referred. Mr. Randall, chairman ot the committee on appropriations, said lie was directed, by a unani mous vote of that committee, to move to suspend the rules and pass the sundry civil appropriation bill. He wished, first, to give the House an opportunity to vote on a few amendments, tho most important of which was that reported by the committee on expenditures in the Department of Justice, relating to salaries of United States marshals and district attorneys. Some opposition was made to the proposition to pass the bill under suspension of the rules. Mr. Morrison asked unanimous consent to be allowed to offer an amendment directing the Secretary of the Treasury to apply the surplus revenue at any time in the treasury in excess of $100,000,000, and not otherwise appropriated, to redemption of United States bonds, and when any of said bonds arc redeemable at the pleasure of the government, it will not he lawful to apply any portion of the surplus to the purchase of bonds at a premium. Mr. Randall joined Mr. Morrison in this request, but >lr. Hiscock objected. The reading of the bill was the proceeded with, and when it was concluded then thirty minutes debate permitted under tho rule was entered upon. Mr. Hiscock briefly explained the reason why he had objected to the Morrison amendment. There were about $138,000,000 unappropriated in the treasury; of this, $75,000,000 was in silver coin or fractional currency. The result of the amendment would be to force from the Treasury in gold, all available sums in excess of $100,000,000, leaving in the Treasury as reserve $75,000,000 in silver and $25,000,000 in gold. lie objected most emphatically to putting as a rider upon an appropriation bill legislation which might he as serious in its consequences as tliis. Mr. Morrison said the oeject of his amendment was simply to reach what was called the surplus in the treasury. The money in the treasury for the purpose of redeeming silver or gold certificates, or notes of banks which had gone into liquidation, and other funds in tlie treasury for specific purposes, was not counted in the surplus. As to interfering with the banks there was no such proposition contained in his amendment. It simply said that the money which was not needed in the treasury should be applied to payment of the public debt and that in paying the debt the Secretary of the Treasury should not go into tho market and buy bonds at a large premium while $200,000,000 of bonds were payable at the option of the government. Mr. Randall said the present Secretary of the Treasury lmd never gone into the market and bought bonds at a premium when he could buy them at par, and his conduct was a living apfroval of the position of thp gentleman from llinois. Mr. Potter protested against the clause of the bill appropriating $500,000 to enable the de partmeuts of government to be represented at the New Orleans Exposition, and denied that there was any necessity for this vast expenditure of money. Mr. Randall defended the appropriation, declaring that the Exposition was a great interna tional one, which celebrated the centennial of the first exportation of cotton. Ho hoped this appropriation would meet with the approbation of the people of the United. States. Mr. Itandall then offered an amendment directing tlie Secretary of War to sell at pulic auction the following arsenals: Allegheny arsenal, Pa.: Augusta arsenal, Ga.; Indianapolis arsenal, Ind.; Kennebec arsenal, Me . and Watertown arsenal. Mass. Adopted. Also, granting one month’s extra pay to House employes, which was adopted. Also, to strike out the provision that no speech shall he printed in the Record which has not been deliverad upon the floor of Congress. Adopted—l 62 to 17. Also, an amendment appropriating $6,000 for the heirs of tho late A. J. Herron, of Louisiana, member-elect to the Forty-eighth Congress, and a like sum for the heirs of the late J. T. Updegraff, of Ohio. Both were ruled out on a point of order. Mr. Springer then offered an amendment framed by the committee on expenditures in the Department of Justice, providing that. United States marshals and district attorneys shall be paid stated salaries. Mr. Springer’s amendment was adopted. It has been published, but does not now contain the published section regulating the employment of special counsel. At the suggestion of Mr. O’Neill, of Missouri, the proviso that c. nvict labor should be employed in erecting the unfinished portion of tlie United States penitentiary, at Deer Lodge, M. TANARUS., was stricken from the bill. A motion to suspend tho miles and pass the sundry civil bill was agreed to—yeas 180, nays 33. The Senate amendments to tho army appropriation hill were non-concurrcd in, and the House adjourned. Failures at Chicago. Chicago, June 23.—The secretary of tho Board of Trade announced on’Change this morning that the firm of C. J. Kershaw A Cos. had evened up all their tradesand would settle all differences at their office. The firm has done a very heavy commission and export business, and are reported to have been on the long side of trie market, principally in wheat and corn. Tho firm began paying all differences in full, and claim that they will be able to make good all demands. Tho house is a Milwaukee one, and it has constituted a factor in what lias been known as “the Milwaukee crowd” in various heavy trades in the past, on ’Change and in the Milwaukee Board of Trade. Tho effect of the announcement and the decline in stocks caused the price of wheat to decline nearly lc. Kershaw denies that he has failed: he claims that his trades were in an unsatisfactory shape, and that ho has decided to close them. Lie says he will be able to meet all demands promptly. * The markets were badly depressed as an effect of Kershaw’s announcement, and there are rumors of more trouble in New York. The Brown & VanAusdal Manufacturing Company made an assignment to day. Liabilities, $110,000; assets, $200,000. The company is a manufacturer of cast iron wagon materials. The failure is due to inability to meet certain paper about to mature. A Threatened Biot. Uniontown, Pa., June 23.—Trouble is anticipated at Point Marion, a short distance from this place, between the forces of the Baltimore <fc Ohio, the Pennsylvania Central, and the Pittsburg, McKeesport Youghioglieny railroads. There is only room for one track at that point, and tho three roads are fighting for it. One hundred Irish and Italian laborers are already at the scene, and by to-morrow there will be between 400 and 500 men gathered there. When the opposing factions meet trouble will ensue.| Natural Gas at Steubenville. Steubenville, June 23. —An immense deposit of natural gas was struck, this evening, by drillers at the Jefferson iron works. Tho pressure was so great that the roar of the escaping gas was heard a quarter of a mile. The flow is estimated to be greater than at any of I lie wells yet discovered outside Pennsylvania. Killed by ait Explosion of Dynamite. Washington, Pa., June 23. —An explosion of dynamite, in Brady’s tunnel of the Hemphill extension of the B. O. road, fatally injured Roger Kane, and badly bruised and cut another brakeinan, whose name was not learned. Tho accident was caused by a blast not going off at the proper time. Seven years of continuous suffering bad rendered Mr. Wm. S. Fleming well-nigh hopeless, but. Atlilophoros came to the rescue. Hear him: “For seven years I have suffered with rheumatism, and for four mouths I was confined to tlie house, live weeks of which time 1 was helpless. Atlilophoros was recommended to me by Rev. ,S. W. Davis, and the best of what might be a long er narrative is, 1 am entirely well and about my business, aflei using two bottles.’’

The fire was caused by an explosion of gas in the boiler-room, and before assistance could be rendered tho flames spread to adjoining tanks and buildings, which were speedily eon suxned. Loss $15,000, on which there is small insurance. The track of tho New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio railway, for a distance of one hundred yards was destroyed, and passengers between this point and Oil City have to be transferred. Hugh Carr, superintendent of the refinery, barely escaped an awtul death by being enveloped in flames. Nicholas Young, a German, aged sixty-six years, who resided in Sandusky, 0., dropped dead in New York yesterday. Malarial Poison. Rome, Ga., May 23, 1883. With the hope that it will reach the eye of other sufferers, I desire to make a statement of my case aud my wonderful rescue from death from malarial blood poison by the use of the great.S. S. S. (Swift's Specific)/ In ISBO I came from the North to take charge of the gas-works in Rome, as superintendent, and after the overflow, which occurred in the spring following, I was very much exposed to malarial poison, and in 1882 found my blood so contaminated with the poison that I was forced to give up business. I was treated by the Rome physicians without relief, they advising me to go North, which I did. The doctors North told me that my only hope was to return to the milder climate, .and accordingly I came back to Rome, completely broken down and nearly a skeleton. My trouble finally determined in an abscess of the liver, and nearly every one (myself included) thought I was doomed to die within a few days. } In this condition l was advised by a friend to take Swift’s Specific, and I took it just as a drowning man would catch at a straw; but as soon as my system got under the influence of the remedy the abscess came to a point and burst, passing off without pain. In fifteen clays after this I was up at my work, and have since enjoyed excellent health. Every sufferer from malarial poison should take Swift’s Specific C. G. Spencer. Sup’t. Rome Gas-light Cos.
