PECULIAR CASE OF LOCKED JAW.

A LabOring Man Suddenly Stricken
Down-No Apparent Origin OF the
Disease.
The disease OF locked jaw is common enough in
the practice OF nearly every physician, but the
following case Is so peculiar IN its main features
that recital OF the circumstances Will be found of
more than ordinary interest:-On Thursday last
Heinrich Eenberger, carpenter by trade, while
at home for his dinner at noon, noticed that it was
only with difficulty he could open his mouth to
masricate his iood. He thought nothing of
it at the time and finished the meal. In
the evening, after the conclusion of his days
labor, he tried to eat some soup. but found it
impossible to insert the spoon in his mouth.
The soup was poured into cup finally,
and he succeeded In swallowing 1t, but he was un-
able to eat meat or any solid food. All night long
he sunered from shooting pains and occasional
convulslons, but 1t was not thought necessary to
summon physician. BY noon or Friday the pain
and the difficulty in eating had increased to such
an extent that ne was sent 10 st. Francis Hospital
in Filth street, between avenues b and G. During
all OF this time he had not lost consciousness and
on his arrival at the hospital he stated to the ply
having been cut or hurt at any time not even in
the slightest degree. careful examination was
made ,iS put not S marx Of any kind could be found
be traced. This TACT, as well as the acute
and sudden manner OF the attack, with
Constitute the peculiar features Of the case.
PirOg0G, the eminent Russian surgeon who ac-
cOmpanied the Russian army through the Crimean
war; mentions only eight cases in all his practice.
Larrey, surgeon to Napoleon l., who accompanied
the Emperor throughout all OF the NapOleonic
campaigns, mentions several cases parallel to the
above, but they did not all come under his per-
sonal observation. Indeed. so rarely does case
OF this kind occur that in all the hospitals OF New
York. where thousands OF patients are constantly
being treated, 1t Is not once IN year that q case
ike the above Is developed. When the reporter
visited the hospital yesterday the patient was
lying on his cot, his wife being in attendance.
The muscles OF his face, particularly those
used in masticating food, were stiff and hard,
as were also the muscles Ol the back and alb
domen. At the request Of the physician he en-.
deavored to open his mouth, but the effort caused
q spasm which seemed 70 make his whole frame
vibrate His body and limbs were rigid, so much
SO that in lifting him 1t was like raising log OF
wood One or two Of his lower teeth have been
fractured, and through this Orince tube is in
serted and liquid nourishment administered. The
treatment adopted is warm baths, IN which the
patient remains an hour Chlor0lorm is then ad.
ministered, and under its influence the muscles
relax. His condition Ia considered dangerous, but
not hopeless. The unfortunate man mas wife
and five children dependent upon him. He is said
to be strictly sober and Industrious and has always
eniOVeO the best OF health.

The Fenian Convention remained in session from
seven O'Clock p. M. on Saturday to nine O'Clock
yesterday morning, without any recess or inter-

constitution occupied them during the latter part
OF the night and most OF the morning. and it is be-
lieved by many Ol the delegates that the one adopted
is such as will In all probability, be lett without
change or amendment for several years. This will
be the means OF no inconsiderable saving OF time
and money, and some of the irrepressble law
makers will be deprived for time OF the pleas

THE STOCK SPECULATION
for the week opened buoyant and firm on Monday,
receding somewhat on Tuesday, and subsequently
growing dull and heavy up to the close, when the
lowest prices of the week were recorded. The
decline ranged from q to 27S per cent, the latter
being in Wabash, which seemed to be the point
d'apput for the bear raid, the reported loss OF
earnings in 1t being used argumentatvely to ham,
mer the rest OF the railway list notably as hereto
fore pointed out, Lake Shore being special object
OF attack. Outside Of Wabash the decline ranged
from z to per cent, the principal dealings being
in Western Union Rock Island Lake Shore Union
Pacific, Wabash, Pacific Mail, Northwest and st.
Paul common. The recovery from the lowest point
was only d to 4 per cent. Quicksilver was higher
ana advanced 2h per cent in the common and 2H

NELSON'S EARRINGS.

Implic alton OF Nobby Young Man
With tho Robbery of Leeb's House
His Papa and Mamma I'm Great Dis
tress.
From the Chicago Post and NALL
story has come to light which sets three de-
tectives, police captain and police justice in
PECULIAR LIGHT,
and which demands an investigation. These are
Flynn Flanagan and Chaplin, Ellis, the Police Cap
tain, and scully, the Justice. The house OF Henry
Leeb, merchant Of this city, on Aberdeen street,
was robbed on the 31st OF last month, while the
family was absent and among the things stolen
were one pair diamond earrings "a present from
Christine Nilsson), value 1920; one plain pair,
studs, SIS; one ring, $25; q silver ornament, SIS;
Mrs. Leeb's watch chain AMI medallion, $50; q
revolver and various articles Of minor worth.
The goods were tracked to pawnshOp on CLARK
street by Chaplin, and, from the description given
him by one OF the detectives, Chaplin picked up q
Foieys hail. and took him along. he called hun. a.
sell Ben Bentley. In his pocket was found
for the Christine Nilsson SN earrings. He had yarn
to account for tnis. He was taken to the pa wn.
broker, who recognized him as the youth who had
pawned the goods. From there he was locked up
in Q cell at the Madison street station, under
charge OF Captain Ellis. That night it came to be

House, and there was q great running to and fro
between the police station and the hotel by the

Ing he was brought before Justice Scully.
QUESTION OR TWO
asked and an answer or two given, and he was
discharged.
1t is held that there is no doubt that the young
man had hand IN the robbery OF Mr.. Leeb's
house. That he pawned the stolen goods IS cer'
tain beyond doubt. He was found with the
pawn ticket and was recognized by the pawn
broker. In view OF this the one OF the most
scandalous Imaginable. Mr.. Hesing's paper, the
Stddts Zeitung this morning says that Scully cap.
tain Ellis and the detectives were 'seen." That
is the term used for bribery which means that the
young mans freedom from punishment was
bought with money by his rich relatives. How
true this Is IL Is not possible now to say, but
THE FACTS
IN regard to the arrest and liberation are as here
given; and an additional circumstance is that at
the time none OF the detectives had word Of in

figure and leaving Off at 109X. The short interest
in the market has been the principal sustaining
influence, q consideration being at times during
the week paid for the use OF gold.
Foreign exchange was dull and weak, anticipat-
ing the early presence OF commercial bills drawn
against the new crops. The specie movement
hence appears to have stopped, the shipments
last week, although small, being mostly OF foreign
specie in tronsitu. The recent shipments OF specie
are stated to have paid but mere trine, and in
some cases scarcely that, leaving the question OF
profit In doubt. This confident expectation OF the
foreign exchange and gold markets concerning
future crop movements should be warning to
some Of the prevalent croakers who ruin in

There was good deal OF irregularlLy in com.

fiuctuating and uncertain than ever. There was
less speculative feeling, though in some OF the ia
vorite speculative commodities q large business
was done at constantly varying prices. AS rule,
however. there were fewer speculative ventures
than usual, while legitimate business corre-
spondinglv neglected and comparatively few CON-
modities sold with anything like The freedom Of
active seasons. There was In many cases fur
ther shrinkage OF values, which augurs unfavora-

OF the week there was sOme little improvement

of business though at time there any generally
