Robber in a Sleeper.
A most extraordinary disease, ex­
tremely infectious and resembling
smallpox among human beings, has
broken out among the statues in the
Egyptian room of the National mu­
seum here, says an Athens (Greece)
correspondent of the New York
Times. A few’ days ago the distin­
guished politician and archaeologist,
Mr. Stephanos Skouloudes, noticed
some strange green marks on one of
the bronze statues of the famous
Egyptian collection presented to tht
museum in 1881 by Mr. Detnetrios, of
Alexandria. He at once communi­
cated his discovery to the curator,
who called in experts to examine the
statue in question. They pronounced
the marks to be due to an infectious
complaint, to which bronze is liable,
and which gradually spreads from
the surface of the object affected to
the inside, till the whole crumbles
away into dust. The other bronze
statues in the same room were then
inspected, with the result that they
w.°re all found to be more or less
tainted with the disease, while five i
of them had taken it in a most ag- I
gravated form. These five are the !
statues of Anta, the goddess of war;
of Maout, wife 0/ Jupiter Ammon; |
of Isis, and two statues of Osiris, one
of them of the greatest value. Worse 1
that that, the infection has spread !
to the Mycenaean room, which con- 1
tains the results of the late Dr.
Schliemann’s excavations in 1876.
There a dagger, which was found in
the fourth and finest of the six
tombs, has fallen a victim to the mal­
ady. Altogether about fifty statues I
are badly affected, and the loss will
be enormous unless the plague can
be stayed.
A
leading
Athenian
chemist pronounces the cause of the
malady to be the presence of salt in
the bronze of which the statues are I
made, and his remedy is to extract j
it by means of baths. Mr. Momphe- 1

L ouisville , Ky., Dec. 30.--Conductor
J. D. Keene, of the north.bound New
Orleans and Cincinnati express on the
Louisville & Nashville road, had a des- •
peíate encounter with a train robber |
early today us the train was nearing'
I South Louisville. The conductor, who
was shot by the robber over the left tem­
ple, is confident he killed or mortally
wounded the intruder with a bullet from
a Winchester rifle.
The train reached this city at 3:20 and
at 1 o’clock a special train of one coach
and an engine with [xdice and a number
of Louisville & Nashville employes left
for the scene of the hold-up. Keene said
that while he was passing through tin*

and caused considerable excitement.
Conductor Keene was removed to a
hospital. His wounds, however, are not
serious. He is said to l>e the strongest
man in Louisville, and was at one time
national champion in several amateur
athletic classes
No trace of the robber had been found
up to noon, although n night watchman '
in the vards of the Southern Railway re
ported that about daylight he found a
man bleeding and lying along the tracks
at Third and K streets. The man said
he had fallen from a train, and according
to the watchman’s statement two men
came along at this time and carried the
injured man away.
