A Big Lawsuit in Which Ono of tho
Defendants Is in
an Asylum.
The Philadelphia Lodger of re
cent date had quite an article about
Dr. aud Mrs. Hnminell, victims of
the Labluh wreck, that occurred
ntar fialein In Nov. 1890. It will be
recalled that Mr. aud Mrs. Hamniell
were at Balem for somo time, until
BUfllclently recovered to proceed on
their bridal tour, upon which they
wero engaged at tho time of the
disaster on the- Southern Paciflo
Railway. Dr. Hamniell who, as
will be wen by tho arllclo below, Is
now Insane, mm exniuinvd at Salt m
by Dm. Richardson and Cuslck,
with especial reference to hi mental
disturbances, If any, from the lu-
juries received at the wreck, and
both physicians intimated that ho
would probably lose his mind.
It will bo seeu from the artlc'o in
the Ledger of Philadelphia that
their surmises were correct, which
is quito a compliment to the science
of the medical gentleman at Baltm.

Tho latest chapter In the domestic
drama, in which Dr. "Walter Ham
niell, a well-known physician of this
city, and Annie D. Ramboruer, the
flrt-t female graduate of the Phila
delphia college of dentistry, figured
so prominently several years agu,
was tho adraisslou several days ago
of Dr. Hammell to tho Insane de
partment of the Pennsylvania hospi
tal, as Insaue patient, while his wife
lies 111 at tho residence of Dr. Ham
niell's father, In Palmyra, N. J.
Tho paitlculars of Dr, Hammell's
marriage to Mias Ramborger, who
at that time was on the high road
of professional success, is still fresh
lu the minds of tho public. After
the marriage tho couple made a tour
of Europo and upon thelr return
went West, and It was while travel
ing through Orecon, on tho South
ern Paciflo railroad, that their train
was wrecked and b th were lujurid.
ISults for damage were subsequently
Instituted against tho company, the
amounts demanded being $20,003 in
each case.
While prepared to pay all ex
penses and somo compensation for
the Injuries received, the company
was not prepared to pay any such
amount as demanded and set on foot
an Investigation. Tho doctor al
leged that his medical practice,
which by reason of his Injuries ho
was unable to continue, was worth
$16,000 annually.
Counsel for the company claims
that an examination by an expert
physician appointed by tho railroad
company, revealed tho fact that
both tho doctor and his wlfo wero
feigning greater Injuries than really
existed as tho result of tho accident.
Friends of tho doctor deny oven
the suspicion of feigned ineaulty on
his part and contend that Iho means
of defense used by tho railroad In
prying Into his domestic n flairs bo
preyed upon him as to unbalance
his mind.

Mrs. Hammell was seen at the
homo of her husbaud's parents at
Palmyra, N. J., yesterday. Her ap
pearance certainly Indicated extreme
sufIerIng,"butHhe volunteered a dc
ncrIttlon of her Injuries and those
of her hutband, and their move
ments slnco tho accident. "After
the crash on tho railroad we were
taken to a hotel lu Balem, Or., whero
we remained for many weeks," she
said. "Wuilo there wo employed
attorneys and brought suit agalust
tho Southern Paciflo Railroad com
pany for $05,000. Wo then camo
East to secure expert advice and
treatment In my husband's case, for
sluco the accident he seemed slightly
demented, gradually growing worse,
until about ten days ago he was
taken to KIrkbrlde's, where the phy
sicians consider his case almost
hopeless. My own iujurlcH consist
of what the doctors say Is u perma
nent curvaturo of tho xpluo and I

brought agents and detectives of
the railroad compauy have dogged
our footsteps and this more than

on that basts would enlist hundreds
of good men of all portions lu our

all over the country. In several
statrs the sMver coinage issuo has
been strangled by common consent
of both parties, and there Is not suf
ficient confidence that tho People's
party will amount to much, so that
earnest friends of silver aro driven
to tho wall and denied any expres
sion of thclt views. Thero Is no
way for them to have a voice In mat

In Illinois aud tho Republicans In

WHERE IT COMES FROM.
Opium Manufactured by tho Chinese
From Raw Material.
Pittsburg, April 28. For somo
time it has bcoii noticed that tho
Chinese in this city wero turning
out great quantities of opium. Not
only did they seem to havo all they
wanted to smoko and uso for manu
facturing Into tho various forms In
which it Is used, but they seemed to
havo quantities of tho drug for sale. '
In fact, thero seemed to be so much
opium going through tho city In
various ways that the United States
authorities grew rather suspicious,
and at last becamo convinced that
tho drug was being smuggled into
tho city in somo manner. Last night
the United States levenue officers
determined thoy would go through
tho Chinese quarters in tho city,
hoping chance would throw In their
way somo oyidenco by which they
would discover tho methods of the ,
smugglers. A number of officers
were dressed in citlzeus clothes and
spent some hours going through tho
various quarters. Thoy went
through a good many dens before
thoy struck anything suspicious, but
finally ono of .tho officers, while
poking around iu one of tho houses,
called the attention of tho rest to a
quantity of tho crude material of
which opium is made. A further
search rovealed largo quantities of
this raw material. In a moment it
flashed on tho officers whero all the
opium was coming from. The "
Chinese had learned to make it from
tho raw material, thus escaping pay
ment of the high tariff on manu
factured opium. Tho officers are
making investigations along this
lino in all tho largo Eastren cities,
os It Is bolloved that this manu
facture of opium is conducted on a
wholesale scale lu several of them.
Thero Isevory indication that the
Chinese havo been carrying on a
largo and lucrative business ever
sluco the new tariff went into eilect.
VESSELS FOR EUROPE.

Of tho disengaged vessels the Brit
ish iron ship Andrada has been the
