A Washington County Farmer Sold for
Dissecting Purposes.

Rather remarkable disclosures were
made in Philadelphia, last week. The
body of Thomas Munce, wealthy farmer
of Washington county, who left his home
in the early part of July last has been
found picked in the dissecting room of a
university. 1t had been sold to the college
by some one connected with the morgue.
A family in the city identified it. The
discovery was made by Findney. The de-
ceased's watch was in the pawn Office,
where it had been pledged by one William
MLemb, who was driver of the coroner's
wagon Munce was found drowned on the
morning of July 3:d, and M'Ewens remov-
ed him to the morgue on the same day.
On the 9th it found i is way into the col
Iege. M'Ewen has been arrested, and the
investigation is being further pushed.
The deputy coroner states that he holds
receipt Of the superintendent Of the city
burial ground for the body. 1t appears
that at the time of the inquest the deceas-
eds name was not known.

Marrow Escape from Death.

The Savannah (Ga.) NeaoS and AdUertiser
prints the following /: A letter has been
sent from Key West to Bishop Verot de-
scribing the wonderful escape from death
of Sister M. Theophilus, who was struck
down by lightning in the convent at that
place. "We hastened," says the cores
poadent "to lift and lay her on the bed.
Never had any of us seen a corpse look so
frightful as she did. The froth flowed
from her mouth, her eyes were CLASSY and
turned black, and her countenance was
black and blue. During this time we re-
doubled our prayers. A deep-drawn sigh,
accompanied bya convulsive trembling,
assured us that our poor sister was not
dead. 1t being the feast Of the Holy Soap
ular, we placed one on her head, and began
TO recite the Litany of the Blessed Virgin.
In less time than it takes me to write it to
you, my lord, the frightful black hue on
her countenance disappeared at the touch
of the scapular This was ray of hope to
animate our courage. On removing her
collar, we beheld Depicted on her neck
and breast the lightning flash which had
dazzled our eyes so at the moment of it's
occurrence. 1t formed red line, about
fingers width, burnt into the skin and
flesh, but stopping just under the scapular
she wore We uttered cry Of wonder and
gratitude Finally the priest arrived. and
likewise the physician, who hastened to
afford her the assistance in his power
~ do not understand" he said, show
she was not instantly killed, for she re-
ceived stroke capable of killing ten per-
sons" The sister finally recovered, and
the physician was SO impressed that he had
his entire family baptized.

Outrages in IoMa.

Dubuque, Iowa, August 19.--The Herald
to-day publishes the following " Twenty
five miles south of this city is an orphan
asylum established in 1864 for the care of
orphans not over 1s years of age. 1t has
been under charge of the Lutherans, Rev.
j. M. Schneider being the warden, who
always stood high, and enjoyed the con-
fidence of the entire community. About
five years ago his wife died, and it appears
that not long afterwards he commenced
systematic course of attacks on little girls
under his charge. The first victim, as far
as known, was a girl 10 TO IA years old,
who had been driven to the asylum by the
unhappy domestic relations of her parents.
For causes not assigned by Schneider, she
was turned out of the institution, and
taken to live with some respectable people
in the country, to whom she related her
story. The people expressed great indig-
nation, and made considerable talk against
Schneider, but citizens generally main
tanned that man of his high morality
must be innocent, and no attention was
paid to it," The Herald then mentions
other cases with great particularly, similar
in character to the above.
Three weeks ago, one of the girls, named
Bertha Nelles, aged Is, went to the matron
and said she wanted to leave the asylum,
but refused to assign a reason. Being
closely pressed and threatened with punish
ment if she did mob give the reason, she
finally confessed that it was on account Of
Schneller's conduct toward the girls, and
then related the particulars. The matron
promised to inquire into the matter, but
the warden on that day was absent. On
his return the matron called on him and
asked for her pay, as she proposed to leave,
and, on his asking the reason, she told him
what she had heard. He was dumb for
moment, but finally confessed all, and
promised that if she would stay and take
care of the children he would himself leave.
| By her advice he went ON at once to Ga
lena, sought an interview with the Rev.
Mr.. Klentwood, Lutheran minister at that
place, and president Of the asylum direc-
| tory, and to him confessed all. This gen.
tleman was Mortified at the revelations, and
demanded that Schenller should at once
resign and leave. This he did, and the
Rev. Mr.. Rembold, of Bellevue, one of the
directors, took charge of the institution.
Schneider is at this time probably on the
ocean. His victims, as far as can be as
certained are, six girls, from eight to four
teen years of age.

e5g Up to the present time the Menon-

9B Up to the present time the Menon-
ties in Prussia, a religious sect numbering
over 200, 600, have been excused from doing
military duty on the ground Of their belief
that war was cardinal sin. 1t has recent
1y been declared, however by the German
cabinet that they must hereafter do militia
ry duty along with those who have no
scruples about shedding the innocent blood
Of their fellow men. This decision being
promulgated, the members resolved to come
to this country in body. 1t is stated that
the Northern Pacific Railroad Company is
trying to induce them to settle on their
lands. 1t is also stated that the Jews Of
Romania have resolved to leave their
country in body, on account of the per-
secution they have suffered, and to form one
or more colonies in the West These peo-
pie are chiefly farmers, and are represented
as being as enterprising in their business
as their brethren in other countries are in
the various pursuits of merchandising.

Havana, August 10.-Late advices from
Lima Peru, report that serious accident
had occurred sixty miles from that city.
A body of earth, estimated at 10000, 900
cubic yards, fell from mountain side into
valley, severely injuring number of
persons and damming upa river above,
which had risen 100 feet above its usual
height.
Engineers were of opinion that the water
would soon burst its barriers, when it
would rush towards Lima, sweeping every
thing before it and submerging the lower
portion Of that city.
A disastrous fire has taken place in
Valparaiso, causing loss of $780, 900.
The towns of Petorea, Quillat, Liguna,
and Sernoche, in Chill, have been greatly

Rescued from Death.

SCRANTON, August 17.-At late hour
last evening Bellevue, a suburb of Scran-
ton, was thrown into state of the most
intense excitement, owing to the rumor
that two brothers named Kerrigan we're
suffocating in an old we'll fifty feet deep,
persons congregated at the mouth of the
well, some peering into the dark, deadly
recesses, while the women ran to and fro,
wailing and wringing their hands, exclaim-
ing that the brothers had perished. 1t
seems that Patrick one Of the brothers, de-
scended to clean out the well, and was
overcome by the noxious gas and tainted
away. His brother Michael almost by q
preternatural insight, learned of his con-
diton and hastened down to his assistance,
when he, too, tainted from the effects of
the foul gas. Some persons who saw him
descend, not seeing him return as soon as
expected, looked down the well, but no
sound or sign of life came up, and imme-
diately the news spread like fire upon the
parched prairie, until hundreds from the
city fiocked to the scene, yet no one volun-
teered to descend. Drs. Fisher and o.
Brien, of Scranton, happened to pass at the
time, and they cut down clothes lines,
from which cable was improvised strong
enough to draw Up two or three men.
At length a young man named Golding
volunteered to go down and snatch if pos
sible the perishing brothers from the jaws
of death. His conduct drew forth hearty
cheer. The rope was finally fixed under
his arms, and he was provided with an
other to fix around one of the brothers
Kerrigan. Slowly he was lowered, while
the multitude were mute in breathless sus-
pense. At length he was drawn to the
surface accompanied by Michael Kerrigan,
around whom he succeeded in fastening
the rope. Kerrigan was evidently lifeless.
| Golding, much exhausted, was lowered
again. He adjusted the rope around Pat
rick, but in drawing him to the surface the
moose slipped from his shoulders to his
neck and in this condition he was drawn to
the top when he presented all the symp.
toms of strangulation. His eyes were pro-
truding, his lips purple and the blood
oozed from his mouth. Restoratives were
promptly applied and both brothers carried
in an apparently lifeless condition to theil
homes, where they still lie in critica
state. The heroic conduct of Golding il
descending the poisoned well and saving
the brothers from an inevitable death by
breathing the subtle and noxious atmos
phere is highly commended on all sides.

az A few days ago lady in Reading,
was preparing some cake to be taken by
some members Of her family on private
picnic excursion, and for the purpose Of
seasoning 1t she purchased at drug store
some article which proved to be power
full poison. Fortunately, before putting it
into the cake she tasted it, and swallowed
little, and soon after became alarmingly
i'll, and remained SO for some time, the
services of physician being required. A
neighbor also tasted some of the poisonous
substance, which ate the skin from her
tongue. Had the poison been put into the
cake and eaten next day by the picnic
party, miles from home and from medical
assistance, the consequences would have
been serious.

Morals of Tyrone.

astorishment to see congregated there, sew

Passing still further up town, on Logan
street, all at once heard a woman cry out
at the top Of her voice for help Reaching
the place whence emanated tho shrieks, l
found that they were caused by a man and
wife, who were amusing themselves by
throwing stove griddles, dishes and chairs
at each other in promiscuous sort Of way,
at the same time indulgng in language un-
fit to be heard in christian community I!
These episodes occurred last Sunday. Can
not you send a few missionaries down this

An Uncomfortable Fix.

Mike Leach, cripple of Madison, Ind,
who has no use of his legs, was mounted
on his mule, which was standing on the
railroad track at the foot of the incline, the
other day just as three cars loaded with
stone, broke away from the locomotive and
came rushing toward him like the wind.
He used his utmost endeavors to get the
animal to move, but it did not see the use
of being in hurry and refused to bulge.
The more Mike howled and whacked the
more the mule stood still, and the more
imminent the danger became momentanly.
Finally, several men, seeing the danger,
caught the stubborn brute and pulled it off
by main force just as the train rushed past
to destruction.
