DEATH OF THE DouBLE-HEADED
BABY,
From the Boston Post, July, 19l


We mentioned in our columns
yesterday the presence in Boston of
most remarkable child, the off
spring of Joseph and Ann Finley.
1t presented the remarkable as well
as unprecedented phenomena of two
heads, four arms, and two legs, and
all upon a single body. The girl
for such was its sex-died last even
ING at No. 6 Bowdein St. The first
half or head breathed its last at
five and the second shortly after
eight o'clock. -
The many thousands in the Mid
die and Western States who have
seen this marvellous eccentricity OF
nature will learn of its early death
with segret. The child-or children
as it would almost seem proper
to allude TO the phenomenon-had
enjoyed excellent health from her
birth, nine months ago, until within
two weeks,at which time one exhib.
eted signs ofillness. This, however
was but temporary. 1t recovered
and was bright and playful.
Since reaching Boston,a few days
since, the other-or the other half
was taken sick and died yesterday
afternoon, as already stated. The
two portions of the body were SC
intimately connected that the death
of one rendered the other inevitable
The spectacle was equally novel.
strange and unparalleled.
Upon one end of the body repos
ed the head of the dead infant; up
on the other that of the live one
with eyes still bright and curious
and its lungs in full breathing or
der. All that medical aid could ac-
complish was DONE but it was found
unavailing. The child died in the
presence of its parents. The corpse
presents the appearance of two in
fants asleep.
Apparently they escaped the or
dinary suffering incident to death,
for the countenances had the eX-
preston of repose. The disposition
of the body is not determined upon.
Several of our physicians were desir-
Gus last evening of having it open
ed for examination. 1t is doubtful
if the parents will consent. They
reside in Morrow Co., Ohio, and
live upon a farm.
They have other children, but
none have exhibited any unusual
developments. Nor can this extra
ordinary departure from the laws OF
Nature be accounted for. In Phila
delphia, where all medical Solon:
undertook to solve the problem
nothing whatever was brought tt
light. E
The child was looked upon will
amazement and interest, but all at
tempts to account for its existenc,
: were futile. 1t is regarded as NOR,
of q curiosity than the Siames'
twins, and most certainly the spec
tacle was more pleasurable to thu
eye. 7M --fs
The child was shortly to have
been exhibited to the public, ant
would doubtless here, as elsewhere
+ have attracted throngs of visitors
The parents were especially devoted
to the little marvel, and their sorrow
is orieyouS.

AMERICAN VICTORY IN A FOREIGN
LAND

Comodore Rogers after waiting
for an apology from the Coreans fol
their piratical and treacherous at
tack upon American vessels, on the
10th landed on Kong Noe, took and
destroyed the fort and munitions
On the l1th the American forces
took another fort, and then stormed
and captured the stronghold. AL
together, five forts have been taken
The troops which defended the va
rious forts are reported as number
ing eleven thousand. In the attack
on the citadel there was desper
ate hand-to- hand fight. The Amer
leans captured four hundred ant
eighty one pieces of ordinance, very
many small arms, and fifty flags
After the engagement the dea6
bodies of two hundred and forty
three Coreans were found around
the citadel. The Loss on the par
of Comodore Rogers was three
killed and nine wounded. The killed
were the gallant Lieutenant MCGEE
who was first inside the citadel
killed with bullet and spear; mar
inc Dennis Lannahan, and landsmar
Seth Allen. The wounded Ameri
cans are all reported out of dangel
and doing well.
It is hardly possible that thu
Coreans will be contented with thi:
defeat, and will probably contin
ne the contest. Its standing army
is reported at 100000, and may ye
give the gallant American Como
dorc considerable work.

THE CONTEST.

The contest is not between Judge
Reed and Mr.. Critchfield, but be
tween the Wooster and Millersburg
"rimg' and Mr.. Critchfield. We
have never known a more bitter
vindictive personal opposition III
any political contest than this against
Mr.. Critchfield, and one so uncalled
for. The best men in the Demo
cratic party in the District have
taken hold of the matter and are
fully determined that this corrupt
and fraudulent ''ring" shall be bro
ken up.-ShreUe MerrOr.

MAuCH CHUNK, April 19.-The meeting of
the Board of Arbitration opened at o'clock
this morning, and Is still in session. 1t is ru-
mored that Judge Elwell, the umpire, has de-
cided the question of interference and control
of the mines in favor of the operators.
The Board of Arbitration-Prospec of
Resumption.
Special Despatch 10 the Evening TeleqrUph.
MAUCH CHUNK, April 1s.-The Board of Arbi-
tration met this morning at 9 o'clock. The de-
cision of the umpire was given, very fully cover
ing the entire question of interference by miners
in working mines, and was strongly against the
miners. This is considered quite point gained
by the operators. After the decision was rem
dered the board adjourned to meet at the call of
the president. This vetoes resumption for the
present in the Schuylkill region and parts of
Lehigh and Carbon, and there is little prospect
forIwork commencing al Scranton or at Wilkes
barre.
The Wilkesbarre Coal and Iron Company's
men will probably go to work this week. 1t is
hard to say whether or not any good has been
accomplished by this meeting of arbitrators.
The only question submitted to the umpire was
that of interfering with the working of mines.
Local arbitration is gaining ground. 1t is pro-
bable that arrangements will soon be made for
resumption in one or more of the districts.

at prices ranging from Is cents to 1917 cents;
the OK beef was to be sold to man whose name
lac did not know, who told him some weeks ago
that he wanted 200 pounds of beef of dead OK
for proper use; did not find the man, and in
driving through the market square saw grease
man and gave him the beef, as | did not want 1t
in my wagon; the side had been cut into four
pieces; he met Weitz yesterday and Sunday, but
talked over but little except business matters;
he thought the bone man took the other side; he
took two dead oxen to Weitz's about fortnight
ago, and one which died on the cars was
dressed for market; wilkins had nothing to do
with the OK killed last Tuesday, heard that q dead
OK was carried to Weitzs slaughter house yes
terday; did not offer the OK beef for sale on the
stand; knew we'll enough that it was not ft to
SELL sold the bull beef ror good meat; Weitz paid
Mr.. A. Monroe $10 for the OK, and was to have
the hide and tallow.
The jBrv returned the following verdict
'aThat George E. Temple came to his death on the
morning of Sunday, April 10, 1871 at $50 O'Clock.
That his death was caused by blood poison innocu-
lated into his system while dressing Tuesday the
town, dead OK which was taken from the yards of
the Boston and Albany Railroad and they further
ind upon the evidence that said animal was
dressed by said Temple for market while IN
the employ OF one August Weitz and that onehalf
thereof was conveyed to Boston in q market wagon
other half was conveyed to bone establishment in
this town. And for the better protection OF the lives
OF those engaged In slaughtering and OF the public
against the purchase of unwholesome meat, the jury
most earnestly recommend that the Board OF Health
of said town establish and enforce stringent regua
ton Of any dead creatures into the Aaughtering esta
blshments OF this town."

INTERESTING NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

Paterson, N. ~, Has Common Council
with Two observation-disclosures of the
Police.
The recent election riot in the Eighth ward of
Paterson, by preventing the election of ward
officers, was the cause of irregular proceedings
at the meeting of the Board of Alderman yester-
day afternoon. The Democrats claimed that the
outgoing Alderman for the Eighth ward, Peter
Kelly, had right to hold his seat until his sue
cessor was appointed, and submitted the writ
ten legal opinions of eX-Chancellor B. William
son and Courtlandt Parker in support of the
claim
The Republicans, however, objected to this
Interpretation, as it would deprive them of
their majority. When the board met yesterday
afternoon the clerks in accordance with his
previous instructions, refused to recognize
Kelly. and the Republicans moved to proceed
insisted on the reading of the legal opinions,
and q scene of great disorder ensued. At
length the Democrats elected Alderman Hopper
president, and the latter took the chair.
The Republicans elected Alderman Allen
president, and he at once ordered Hopper from
his seat. Hopper refused, and Allen then,
amid cheers and laughter, began to
read off the standing committees for
the year. The confusion at last tecame so great
that the Democrats resolved to adjourn until
evening, and President Hopper left the Chamber
with his adherents. The Republicans afterwards
adjourned to the first Monday in May. At s
o'clock in the evening the Democrats returned
to hold the meeting, but discovered that Mayor
Tuttle, who is Republican, had locked up the
Council Chamber and filed the City Hall with

DISEASED MEAT IN BOSTON.
A Butcher Fatally ga

A Butcher Fatally Poisoned-Investiga
tiOn at Notwithstanding Disclosures.
Boston, April 1S.-One week age to day an
OK which had died of disease or was trampled
to death in a cattle car while coming from
Albany to Brighton was purchased at the cattle
yards by Charles Bohn, who got team be-
longing to August Weitz, another butcher, and
conveyed it to a slaughter-house owned by
Walter l.. Wilkins.
George Temple, an employe of Mr.. Weitz,
dressed the OK. After the dressing Temple used
the towel with which he had washed the sides
of the animal to wipe the sweat from his face.
This intlamed small sore which he had on his
right cheek, and the Inflammation increased to
such an extent that he died on Sunday morning.
The investigation, which was closed at midnight,
disclosed some facts calculated to startle beef
eaters ia this community.
Two physicians testified that they attended
Temple, and that the symptoms resembed
those which were found in cases of blood
poisoning.
Simeon Sanderson, a butcher, testified that he
did not think there were more than foar or fve
butchers in Brighton who would dress dead
oxen. He thought every butcher in town
would carry to market cattle infected with the
hoof and mouth disease.
Charles Nutter testified that he had known
dead oxen dressed and carried to market with
The wife of the deceased, Mrs. Sarah Temple,
said:-The deceased has dressed dead cattle be-
fore for Mr.. Weitz, some two months ago and
and had sore throat for long time after and
was confined to his house a week. he told his
wife that the meat of this OK was not fit to
carry to market, and was no better than carron
she had not the least doubt but that his death
was caused by dressing the dead OK.
Charles Bohn, who works for Brighton but
chers, testifed:-That in going home last Tues
day he saw the OK at the yard at the car station
at North Brighton; then went to Albert Monroe
and bought IL for $40; told him Weitz would
pay him; went to Weitz and told him had
bought dead OK we harnessed Weitz's team
and got the OK; the OK was loaded by himself
Weitz, and another man; Weitz told him to
carry the OK to wilkins as he had no room at
his slaughter-house; another animal, bull, was
taken from the yards which could not walk,
and 90 was stuck in the yards;
when he arrived with this carcase the
other OK was nearly dressed; got up at
the next morning, and helped Weitz load
one side of the OK and the bull, and with nothing
else, drove to Boston, Weitz s0fd the bull beef
