A Mysterious Trpnk--what it Contained.

A few days ago well-dresse woman ar
rived at the Hudson River railroad depot,
in New York, having with her q large
trunk, which, after purchasing a ticket for
Chicago, she had checked to that point
The woman did not then take the train, and
shortly afterwards peculiar smell caused
somo curious employee at the station to
pry open the trunk, when it was found to
contain the body of a young woman about
1S or 20 years of age. There was no arti-
Gle Of clothing on her, and nothing where
by she could be identified. Of course the
discovery created great excitement, and
every exertion was made by the police,
who were at once notified to trace out
the mystery. An important clue was fur
nished by a boy named Alex. Parks, often
OF called Paddy, well known around the
depot. A woman who came to the depot
with the trunk, obtained Paddy assistance
in bringing and buying her ticket and pro-
curing check for the trunk. p, ari, d.. gli
Paddy observed that the truck bore the
name of Trip. The police Immediately
made inquiries and found that there was
but one carnan named Trip in the city,
but three named Trapp, one of whom has
truck such as that described by the boy.
This man was arrested but denied being
at the depot that day. His conduct and
manner strengthened the suspicion that not
only had the truckman who drove the truck
been secured, but that he knew more Of the
mystery than he dared to tell. He finally
informed the authorities that he had OBJ
tanned the trunk from house in Second
avenue, which was found to be occupied by
DR.. Rozenweig. The police then arrested
the doctor, and made search of the premi-
ses, when they discovered indications which
left no doubt that the woman had lost her
life by an abortion which the doctor had at
tempted to perform. The prisoner was
held to await further investigation. The
deceased has been recognized as a Miss
Bowlsby, Of Patterson, N. j., and when
the report reached that place, young man
named Conklin, who is supposed to have
been her seducer, committed suicide. The
affair has caused great excitement in that
city as both the parties are we'll known.

Official Integrity Rewarded by Remov-
al from Office. j r.aH .r.'

Every reading man in the State is by
this time thoroughly conversant with the
particulars OF "the Evans Fraud" and is
also well aware of the, fact, that if the
money is recovered for the use Of the State,
it win be solely due to the expose made by
JOSEPH M. MoCLURE, Esq, who was at
that time Deputy Attorney General. But if
they were astonished at the fraud which was
attempted on the State Treasury, they will
be still more surprised to learn that for
doing his duty as an honest official, Mr..
Mcclure has been removed from Office. The
question will naturally be asked, why is
this removal made, just at q time when his
knowledge of the facts in the case would
have been of great service to the State, if
there was really desirs to bring to justice
all who are in any way connected with this
swindle? Does it not look as though the
removal was made as punishment for his
having dared to interfere with the success
full prosecution of the fraud. -4crH
Very many who have previously been
10th to join in the widely spread opinion,
that Evans was only the tool of those high
In authority, will now be forced to accept
this view of the case. This view is also
strengthened by reference to the agree
ment entered into between Evans and the
Governor, in which the latter stipulates for
annual reports to be made to him under
oath. If these reports were not made by
Evans, the Governor was derelict in his
duty, by not calling for them If they were
made, it places him in still worse position,
as he not only concealed the fraud, but re-
moves from Office the official who was in
strumental in bringing the transactions to
public notice. If the Governor Of Penn
sylvania and his Attorney General reward
official integrity by dismissal from Office,
how can any man who has proper regard
for his own honor accept a situation thus
made vacant.

Accident At a Funeral.

The Chicago Tines publishes an account
of an accident at a funeral "The parlors
where the coffin was resting were exceeding
ly full Of people, so that the unusual weight
upon the floor caused 1t TO give way during
the address Of the minister, and precipita-
ed the whole crowd, coffin, minister and
mourners, into the cellar. The room below
was used as pantry or store-room and
dairy, and contained a number Of pans of
milk, jars Of butter, jam, preserves, &C.,
so that almost every one was accommoda-
ted with liberal daubing Of one or more Of
these articles. The Chicago lady, who in
formed the writer OF the catastrophe, was
particularly fortunate managing to get one
foot into jar Of butter, another into a pan
of milk, while shelf OF honey was deposit
cd in her lap. To add to the confusion, the
coffin was broken by the fall and the corpse
landed in barrel Of soft SOAP

THE Asiatic Cholera has made its ap-
pearance in many portions of Europe
In some parts of Prussia it has spread in
an alarming manner, and is making rapid
progress through the whole country. A
few cases have been reported in New York,
and great exertions are now being made
to clean and purify the filthy places in the
city. Persons in every part of the country
should see that cellars, cess pools, SC,
are properly cared for, as prevention is
much better than cure. 1i haf bng sI4s

"A Curious DIscoyery.

J A few months ago signet ring, bearing
the monogram "P. BIZ was discovered
by fisherman in the entrails Of Goldfish
caught in Trinity Bay, N. F. The fisher
man, John Potter kept the ring in his pos
session until recently, when he was request
ed in letter from the Colonial Secretary to
send or bring the ring to st. Johns as he
received letters from family named Bur-
nam, in Poole, England, that the ring once
belonged to Paulin Burnam, who was one
Of the several hundred passengers of the
Allen steamship Anglo Saxon, which was
wrecked off Chance Cove IN. F.) in 1851,
the said Paulin Burnam being relitiye Of
theirs. The fisherman in whose possession
the ring was, brought it to st. Johns and
presented it at the Colonial Secretary's
Office. The man of fish was introduced to
a Mr.. Burman, whom the Colonial secre-
tary had sent for on the fisherman's arrival.
The ring was Immediately identified by Mr..
Burnam, who called il his mother wedding
ring, which she has always worn since her
marriage in Huddersfeld, England, in the
the year 1915. The ring was accordingly
given up to Mr.. Burnam who rewarded the
fisherman with bank notes to the amount Of
fifty pounds sterling. . org .7o'ad f'ia

A Remarkable Case.

James t. Anderson, young man twen-
ty-six years Of age, resides near Glenwood,
Iowa, and is the subject of a different ex-
perience from any other man in the world.
Three years ago he died from his neck
downward. His head, however, is alive,
and more vigorous and active, than before
the body which it once governed, ceased to
be vital. At the age of two years, James
father died, and his mother soon married
again. At the age of three years he was
tossed several times by an angry cow
Shortly afterward, while he was eating
bread and milk, rattlesnalSe Joined him,
and when the two had finished, his snake
ship made his bow and retired. AT five
years old horse ran away with him, and
made for stable across the entrance of
which was bar. The horse rushed in un-
der the bar, and his mother seized him just
in time to save his life. He grew up active
and strong, and was fond of athletic sports.
He became a good gymnast.
James, at the time of the accident that
left him with dead body and living
head, was fine, handsome young man,
He weighed two hundred pounds, and there
was not superauous ounce Of flesh on his
body. aa.i .tif.
One afternoon, when on visit to an un-
Gle at Glenwood, Iowa, he was exercising
on pole placed from one tree to another in
the back yard. He had on pair of gait
ers, tipped with patent leather. He swung
down from the pole by his feet the leather
slipped, and he fell. He struck his neck
just where it joins the shoulders. He was
bewildered, but perfectly conscious. His
body felt as though smashed to q jelly
He experienced horrible tingling; and
when the doctor came he told him not to
touch him, as his body was broken TO pie
ces. His neck was broken, inflammation set
in, and all thought his end was come. To
the surprise Of all, in few days he began
to mend. He was shortly after removed to
his step-father's house, where he still re-
sides. Time hung heavily on his hands,
and he resolved TO learn to write with his
mouth. BE accomplished this, and, as he
says in letter TO Mr.. J. X. Nutting, he
soon wrote "tolerably good mouth" He
is now trying to paint, and hopes by this
means TO earn something for his support.
He has been, and still is, tenderly cared for
by his sister, herself cripple, and speaks
in the highest terms Of his step-father, who
though poor man has shown him every
kindness.
His worst enemies are the flies which
buzz about his face. He holds leafy twig
in his mouth, however, and manages to
twirl It about in wonderful way, and
drive of his tormentors. The case is
without parallel, except that Of John
Carter OF England, who was injured in a
similar way, and who became o famous
painter.
