A REMARKABLE CASE OF
BLOOD-POISONING.
New York, Dec 27—D
George H. Atkinson, one of
the leading physicians of
Brooklyn, is lying at the point
of death. The disease from
which he is suffering, and
from which there is not the
slightest hop© of recovery, is
blood poisoning, contracted
while attending a private
patient in August last. The
patient was the victim of an
infectious disoaseand a painful
operation became necessary.
Kth r was administered and
while the patient was under
the knife he scratched the
first joint of the middle finger
of the doctor's right hand with
his nails, drawing blood. The
wound at first was apparently
insignificant, but toward the
end of November the doctor
began to suffer greatly. Two
weeks ago his right side be-
came paralizod and his mind
began to wander, and next
day only the left hand could
be moved. Since then he has
been under the constant care
of half a dozen of the most
distinguished doctors of the
country. Dr. Pierce said last
night that the patient's pulse
reached 100 and the end was
not far off. The case is con
sidered to be the most remark-
able that ever came to the
knowledge of the attending
physicians, as poison is not
expected to reach the brain
before a vear or more. There

Was only one case of a similar
kind mentioned in the books.
New York, Dec. 128—.T. W.
Catherine, master of the
steamer Ohattoochie, makes
the following statement. About
2:30 p. tn.. December 2(5, fif-
teen miles north of Winter
quarters lightship, I sighted
a three-masted schooner, un-

Washington, Dec. 27—Tho
secretary of the treasury sent
a telegram to the collector of
customs at San Francisco in
reference to Chinese immi-
grants. Tho following is a
copy:

and the crew wished to be
taken off. They said that
their boat was stove. I then
placed the steamer in sueli a
position as to s!¡eltor the
schooner as much as much as
possible and lowered a boat iu
charge of the second r/ficer.
The boat returned iiy about
an hour, failing to rescue any
of th e schooner's crow because
of the high sea which pre-
vented it getting alongside.
The second officer had received
injuries in tho boat, which
made it impossible to attempt
to rescue the crew Another
boat's crew volunteered to
make a second atte upt, They
were supplied with life-buoys
lines, and after several at-
tempts succeeded in getting a
life btiov on the schooner. The
*
first mate of the schooner se-
cured himself to the buoy and
jumped overboard, and was
picked up by the life-boat.
Tho life-buoys were now
broken and useless, and it was
impossible to get very near
the schooner on account of the
severe gale and high sea, ar.d,

and sleet and increasing wind,
which was drifting tli'2 ship

New Orleans, Dec. 20—The
street car drivers' strike con-
tinues, to the great incon
venience of tho public, and
more especially of business
men who live two or three
miles from trade centers. Up
to this hour about a dozen
cars on the Magazine street
line are the only ones that
have leached Canal street
from uptown. They are ac-
companied by squadsof police.
Early this morning cars left
the uptown stations of the
City Railroad collipai.y, but
were met by the strikers and
the cars turned around and
sent back to the stations. The
police seem to be in sympathy
with the strikers, and are only
inclined to interfere in cases
of personal violence.
