Steele, the man* who ia suffering sojfrom an injection of the Brown-Scquard elixir administered by Dr. Taylor ia in a terrible condition. He will sue for damages. Steele is an almost helpless paralytic with a large family dependent on him for support. He has made a bare living by taking orders for coal since being stricken by paralysis two years ago. Last Saturday evening, while hobbling home w.th the assistance of a heavy cane, he was halted by Dr. Geerge K.Taylor, a physician who resides at 317 Linn street, The doctor led Steele into hisoQlce, where he injected a portion of the Brown-Sequard elixir in each hip without Steele knowing what it I was. Steele suffered intense agony, but was told he would soon get well. The agony was so great that ou Monday he sent for Dr. WatsoB, of John street. In an interview yesterday Dr. Watson, said: "I found the inside of bnth of Steele's thighs terribly inilamed, swollen, and in a mottled condition, as if gangrene had set in,though it may prove only blood poisoning. That is badenongb, however, and may cause the man's death. STILI- ANOTHER VICTIM. Last Sunday the same doctor injected some alleged elixir of life into the hack and legs of John E. Hei-ing, a wood carver, living on Halstead *' et, Camp Waahing- " • . who as ulUici. >1 with spinal disease, ileising became atllicted with burning pnins, followed by violent chills,and his stomach refuses toreiaiu food. Only the applications of lotions eases his pains. He will also sue for damages. A dozen cases are reported to day where the patients who tried tbo elixir are in a dangerous condition. Folden Weir, the decrepit colored man at liifi Court street, who was operated on with the elixir a week ago by Dr. Longfollow, and wh«)so wouderful recovery was carried everywhere by the Associated Press, is again bedlast. On the limbs where the inclusions were made, large cakes, half tho size of a man's hand and very hard, have formed, and the muscles and tlesh are very sore. Poultices have been applied without relief. I)r. Langeubeck, the chemist, who supplies nine-tenths of the elixir used in the city, says the fluid spoils speedily and is a deadly poison after a short time. In two hours it is a rank blood-poison, and those who use it run fearful risks. It is reported that the physicians at the workhousa nave experimented indiscriminately, the result being a shocking state of afl'airi. People here aro greatly worked up. and th« whole business is not only dead, but leaves a stench behind. After the shooting Deputy United States Marshal Nagle backed up against the wall of the dining room and warned everyone not to arrest him, saying he was a United States officer in the discharge of his duty. There was uo semblance of an attempt to molest him at any time. Constable Walker took Deputy Nagle from the train at Tracy and proceeded with him to Stockton, where he is now in jail. District Attorney White ordered the arrest of Justice Field upon his arrival in San Francisco, and telegraphed the order to the Sheriff of San Francisco. He had hardly fallen when Mrs. Terry rushed to the side of hie body and threw herself npon it. Then ensued a scene of wildest excitement. People rushed from the dining room and others rushed in. During this time Justice Field and Deputy Marshal Nagle retreated to a sleeping car, where tney were Becnrely locked within. At times Mrs. Terry would call upon the citizens to arrest them. Before the train pulled out Constable Walker entered the sleeper and was carried away on board the train. He informed the spectators that he knew his duty and would perform it. During the time the train was standing at the depot Mrs. Terry was running wildly, alternately fi'in the body of her husband to the sleep. demanding admittance that she 1111,.'t slap Justice Field's face, and at the si.uie time begging that they be detained anu bave their examination here. Previous to the entrance of Constable Walker into the sleeper, Sheriff Pnrvia and a deputy, of Stanislaus county, had already taken charge of Deputy United States Marshal Nagle. Latkrope, Cal , Aug. 14.—On the arrival of the Southern Overland train here at 7:30 this morning United States Supreme Justice Stephen J. Field and Deputy United States Marshal David Nagle, walked into the depot dining room for breakfast, and sat down side by side. Soon after ex-Judge David S. Terry and wife came in also. They were proceeding to another table when Mrs. Terry, evidently recognizing Justioe Field, did not sit down but retired to the train fur some unknown purpose. Before she reached it, however, and as soon as she had left the dining room, Judge Terry approached Justice Field and stooping over him slapped his face. At this juncture, Deputy Marshal Nagle arose from liis seat and shot Judge Terry through the heart. As he waa falling the Deputy Marshal shot again but missed him, the bullet going through the tloor. Both shots were fired in very quick succession. The Judge never uttered a sound after being Bhot. WNEY-AT-LA W, BKOOKVILDH, PA. House Block. Oct, 1.1889. WXEYS-AT-LAW, Bkookville, Pa. C,Z.

JUSTICE FIKU»'S STORY. San Francisco, Aug. 14.—The southorn overland train arrived at the Sixteenth street station in Oakland, shortly after 11 this morning. Great crowds collected, telegrapic intelligence of the Lathrop tragedy having preceded the arrival of the train, and the sleeping car in which Justice Field was sitting, was at once besieged by United States officials and newspaper men. Justice Field maintained bis quiet demeanor and replied to a press representative when asked to narrate the particulars of the shooting as follows: "I can tell you the story in a few words. For the last few months all manner of reports, both public and personal, have reached me that J udge Terry had threatened to subject me to some form of indignity if he should happen to meet me. Thi» fact caused the United States M;rsl> ' >u decide to provide snch protection t lie could during my stay in this State. V> <•" I started for Los Angeles to hold couit, Deputy Nagle accompanied me. Ho seemed to be a quiet gentlemanly official, though I only met him twice while away from Los Angelos. He aeked me in that city when I intended to return and aoconipanied me, taking a. seat in the sleeping car opposite to me. We learned this morning that Judge Terry and his wife were on the train, but paid no attention to the fact. AVhen we arrived at Lathrop, we entered the eating saloon to get breakfast. I took a seat at the end of the table while Nagle sat on one side of me. "Terry and his wife came in the room soon after. Ah soon as she saw me she went out of the room, as I afterwards learned, returning to the car for her satchel. Judge Terry rose and I supposed he intended accompanying her. Instead of doing so, he walked back of me and struck me a heavy slap on the face. I was com pletely astonished, and seeing he was making ready to strike again, Nagle cried out: 'Stop, stop but Terry did not desist and as he was raising his arm a seoond time, Nagle shot at him, the bullet entering his heart. He fell to the floor, Nagle shooting a second time, but the second shot did not strike him. Deputy Nagle was arrested at Tracey and taken to Stockton to await the result of the inquest. That is the complete story, sc far as I am aware of the facts." NEVER BEFORE have we been so successful in clearing out all our Odds and Ends in SUITS, PANTS, and BOYS' CLOTHING.

J., August 15.—The tremendous seas this morning washed away the lieach from the Asbury avenue pavilion to the Uond Wave power pier, to a depth of 12 feet. The piling of the board walk at that point, and the pavilion were washed almost bare. The iron swinging gate that woiked the pump at the pier with power given by swinging in the waves, was bent double by the ocas. The gate weighed over half a ton. At ten o'clock while thousands watched llie work of beach destruction, I.. C. Craig, a 15- year old Detroit boy, was washed from the sluice box at. the sea eud of Wesley bake by an enormous wave, and carried into the surf, where he struggled despereatly. Finally he washed out to the end of a submerged bathing line, to whioh be clung for life. An attempt was made to launch the life boat by Hathlug Masters Slocuni, Clayton and Kittle. A big wave picked up the bout and dashed it between the piliug of the pavilion, crushing it to pieces. Meantime, lilt e Craig  for life with the big waves. Just as he was washed from his position ami 'ost to view, the bathing miisteis, with .u ies succeeded iii getting through I Ik mntainons surf, and saw the drowning boy beneath the water.

CE OF THE PEACE, San Francisco, Aug. 18. — The announcement that Judge David Terry had been shot and killed in a railway depot at Lathrop, C *1., this morning as the result of an attempt to provoke a personal altercation with Justice Stephen J. Field, of the United States Supreme Court caused considerable excitement in this city. The scene of the tragedy is b3 miles from this city by rail and is the breakfasting station for the Southern Overland train. The possibility of an encounter between Terry and Justice Field has been recognized ever since the imprisonment of Terry for contempt of court 10 months ago owing to the known temper of the man who killed United States Senator Broderick caused in the eaily days of California. David S. Terry was at one time Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of California and has always been a prominent figure in the political history of the State. The killing of Broderick caused at the time deep personal resentment against Terry by a portion of the people of the State, which threatened to terminate his career in California, but he always had a number of adherents and remained iu the State, though he has only once or twioe b. en before the people for any political position. He was married to Sarah Altbea Hill, who claimed to be the wife cf ex Senator Sharon, while prosecuting her claim against the Sharon estate. Tois brought hitn into a resentful attitude toward Justice Field, who last year rendered a decision io the! United States Circuit Court, in this city, denying her claim to be the wife of Siiaron. Mrs. Terry oreated a siere in court during the reading of the decision, charging Justice Field with briog corrupt, and as sb« refused to remain quiet Justice Field decided that she be removed from court. When • depu'y attempted to carry out tlie ordtr of the Court, she became involved in a personal qutrrel with that ofti.'itil and Judge Terry interfiled, drawirg a dagger from bis vest. He was disarmed aud both Terry and his wife were adjudged in contempt and committed to jail. Iu the umaol uu<- Justice Field went to Washington to resume hi* duties on the beocb, rcturiii 'g to this city six weeks The oflicUls started an exterminating crusade agaiis' ih« intruders with ordinary roach paste, which in known to be instantly fatal to tho Pennsylvania variety.

Philadelphia, August 15.—A new variety of cockroach has recently been in.- ported in the mail bags which arrived at the Philadelphia postofllce from a South American port. These insects differ from the Philadelphia variety, and increase in numbers more rapidly, and are generally a much greater pest. S on after the arrival of the vanguard the pesky things began to Overrun the postofflce, and but for vigorous measures would have been in full possession of the building. The importation amouuted to a baker's di /. n or so, but in a few days hundreds of tliem swarmed through the distributing room, and in a week they took possession of every dark or shadowy place on first floor. Their appetite wm something marvelous, and their digestion is surpassed only by that of the billy goat. The myriads which soon appeared began by eating up all the n'ght men's lunches, aud when that source of supply was exhausted they started on the mucilage on the backs of postage stamp?, and evea nttacked the leather mail bags. •'lie iiiMirani'.e firm ul Jnu.
