New York, Jan. 11.—The Her-
ald this* morning publishes the
following special correspondence
from Bluefields, Nicaragua:
I have visited Corn Island and
its fortifications. One hundred
men are now clearing lands to ex-
tend the fortifications.
The Nicaraguans have 500
pounds of dynamite and ten elec-
tric batteries. Mr. Donaldson,
formerly a United States army en.
gineer, located the dynamite mines
and fortifications and then left the
island for Managua.
Thus far the Columbians have
determined to contest every foot.
General Reyes says that "the prob-
lem" will be solved by dynamite.
There is a wave of subdued ex-
citement and expectation passing
over ns just at present, owing to
troops having come down from
the capital on their way to Corn
island.
The little steamer Lucy B,
owned by Mr. Herbert Y. Bing-
ham, the British consul of Nica-
ragua, stationed at San Juan del
Forte (Greytown) has been char-
tered by the Nicaraguan govern-
ment for an indefinite period to
carry troops and acting generally
as a little war ship.
If this little affair should re-
sult in an actual collision, the
Lucy B. may be blown to pieces
by the Columbian men-of-waj—a
risk which the owners seem wil-
ling to take. I have heard from
sources which may be considered
trustworthy tnat the Columbians
have really the first right to Corn
Island, but the island has been a
ground of dispute between Co-
lumbia and Nicaragua for years.
Mr. Bingham, the owner of the
Lucy P. distinguished himself by
his good judgment and diplomacy
in 1894 during the Mosquito
trouble on this coast.

feat could be performed he would

Ol j also. The chief was now satis-
fied, and, bending his head, he
received the fatal blow. Instant-
ly the bead rolled down into the
sand, but to the surprise and hor
ror of all present, the headless
trunk arose and walked alone.
Aimlessly, it appeared, the body
walked aronnd until it passed the

P. P. P., Lippman's Great Remedy, Save*
a Man From Becoming a Cripple.
Mr. Asa Airmons, a well -known
citizen of Jacksonville, Florida, was
afflicted by a terrible nicer. Medical
skill seemed unavailing in stopping the
ravages of the terrible disease. The
leg was swollen and intensely painful,
as the ulcer had eaten its way down
to the very bone. All medicines and
treatments having failed to effect a
cure, the doctors said the leg must
come off. Just when it seemed that
Mr. Ammons would become a disabled
and a crippled man, he tried P. P. P.,
Lippman's Great Remedy, and the re-
lt was wonderful.
P. P. P. SAVES HIS LEG.
" Jacksonville, Fla., July 1, 1895.—
Two years ago I had the worst ulcer
»n my leg 1 ever saw. It had eaten
down to the bone, and my whole leg
below my knee, and my foot was
swollen and inflamed. The bone was
swollen and painful, and discharged a
most offensive matter. My physicians
said I had necrosis of the bone, and
my leg would have to come off. At
this stage I commenced to take P. P. P.
and to bathe my leg with hot castile
soap suds. It began to improve at
Once and healed rapidly, and is to-dav

Etfect of Tobacco on a Snake.
In a book of travels written by
a Mr. Harrow we find this inter
eating bit of information: A Hot
tentot was seen to apply the
short end of his wooden tobacco
)ipe to the month of a snake
when the reptile was darting ont
his tongne. Death was instanta
neons, the effect almost like an
electric ehock; with a convulsive
motion that lasted only for a mo

ed itself, and then became still
And upon examination the mas
cles were found to be so contract-
ed that the snake felt a« bard as
if it bad been dried in the sun.

Eddie hoy.
The following from the St.
Paul Globe is one of the many
good endorsements:
"OS the Earth" with Eddie
Foy in his role of "Cluster,"
opened the week at the Grand
last night with a rush. The a
dience was large enough to cheer
the heart of any manager, and
sufficiently enthusiaetic to gratify
even the most self-satisfied of
actors.
The piece being an extrava-
ganza, with spectacular features,
has only enough of a dash of a
plot to form a framework for a
namber of specialties, and is suf-
ficiently elastic to permit of the
introduction of novelties of all
sorts, and this has been liberally
done. Eddie Foy, is as formerly,
the central figure, but he shares
the honors gracefully with Miss
Mary Marble, a petite and grace-
ful soubiette, who looks pretty
and saucy as a "good little sou-
brette should do," sings well and
dances cleverly; Miss Louise
Willis, who impersonates Luna in
pleasing manner; Miss Adele
Farrington and several other
members of the cast. Mr. Foy,
as usual, has a number of new
songs, among the best of which

His Head Was Off.
Dr. Loye, the French physician,
who has greatly interested himself
in the question: "What passes
in the head of a decapitated hn-
man being," writes the following!
remarkable story, which he says
was taken from the archives of
the Vienna courts: It was in the
year that Sharenbnrg, a well
known bandit, and four of his as-
sociates were caught and con-
demned to death. They were al-
ready on their knees ready to pay
the penalty of their bloody deeds
by submitting to the awfol fate of
decapitation, when Sharenbnrg
addressed the judge, aking that
his four companions might be
pardoned on certain conditions.
"If," asked the bandit chief, "I
am beheaded, I get np and walk
to the first of my comrades will
yon pardon himt" The jndge
tbonght that be was pretty safe in
complying with the request.
"Then," continued Sharenbnrg,
"If I walk to the second, the
third and the fourth, will yon
pardon them alsol'' The judge
are
"Say AuRevoir. Miss Marble's
singing of 'All Coons look alike
to me," and "By the sad sea
waves" accorded bar an enthusi-
astic reception. Miss Farring-
ton and Miss Willis also earned
much applause by their siuging,
and a quartette, composed of H.
Stewart Putnam, James E. Sulli-
van and Henry McCauley and
Archnr E. Deagon, found several
opportunities to add to the enter-
tainment.
The company is not lacking in
chat great essential to one of its
character, a chorus of pretty
girls with mnsical voices. The
costnmes are pretty and the scen-
ery handsome and artistic. Bs-
tween the second and third acts is
given an exhibition of the theatro-
graph, or animated photography,
which was received last night
with mnch applause.
