REMARKABLE RECOYERIEs.

The EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF AN At
TEMPTED SUICIDE IN NEwARK-THE VIC
TINS OF THE CENTRALIA ExPLosIoN-AND
THE WIFE MURDERER WHO HAMMERED
HIS HEAD IN.
The New York Herald says that there is
in Newark q still more singular case than
that of Carrutb, the Vineland editor. Car
ruth died ultimately, it is true, but his i'm
mediate recovery after the shooting and his
living some eight months following the
attack on his life constitute a marvel
in physical and medical science. The
Newark case is parallel with Carruth's, so
far as living with bullet in his brain, but
in other respects it Is still more singular. 1t
is that of John Huber, a Swiss, who, early
on Sunday morning, October 10Th, lodged
bullet in his brain, where it still remains.
1t appears John had had some trouble with
his wife over "piece" of property, but,
worse still, he was indicted by the grand
jury for an alleged ATTEMPT to criminslly
assault Miss Hauser, his wife's daughter by
q previous husband, and his trial was set
down for October 18th. The Saturday night
before that day Huber was in a saloon drink
ing, and was so
DEsPoNDENT OVER HIS TROUBLES
that he was sneeringIy advised to go home
and shoot himself. On arriving at home he
shot himself with q revolver The bullet
entered at a point three inches from the
right temple. Huber fell to the floor, but
was speedily removed to the German Ho--
pital. Here his case was regarded as past
hope. The wound was probed, but the bull
let could not be found. The doctors gave
him up. The Tuesday came, and when HUI
ber's indictment was called in court the
Judge ordered that a nolle prosequi be en-
tered In the case, remarking that Huber
had, doubtless, ere that been called to
AaF1 ~ N-.L a. ~. -
over which the judge himself presided.
Quite the reverse proved the tact, however.
Huber pulled through, and after remaining
four or five weeks in the hospital, finally
recovered so far as to warrant bis leaving it
on the oh inst. While in hospital Huber
was attended most devotedly by his wife,
as well a. by the hospital attaches. He has
been able TO move about, but within few
days adverse signs appeared in his case.
He complained of illness, and his wife ap-
piled for his readmission to the hospital.
The authorities insisted, however, that as he
had lett OF his own accord he ought now to
defrsy portion OF his expenses. Mrs.
Huber left and has not since returned.
THE cENTRALIA VICTIMS.
Patrick McGiee, the man who was the
most terribly scslded of all the victims OF
the Centralis explosion, at Bound Brook
except those who died, is another case of
marvellous lie tenaclty. w nen nrst Drought
to st. Micbaels Hospital, in Newark, 1t was
thought be could not live half day. He
has lived, however. and is now doing so
we'll that his recovery is fully expected.
James r. Hardy, another of the wounded,
Is, however, sinking rapidly. Thomas
Casey, James Mccarthy, Patrick Hayes,
Peter Sullivan. James Start and G. O'Toole
are doing we'll, and Thomas Kelly, James
Riley, Patrick Sheersn, Mike McDsrmot
and John keenan, were discharged and yes
terday resumed work at Bound Brook. This
article would scarcely be complete without
a reference TO one more most extraordinary
case of recovery-that OF Professor James
Garland, the musical genius of New Bruins
wick, VINO still lives, with prospects of re-
covery, despite the terrible slashing he gave
his throat and the hsmmering he inflicted
on his head after he had, as he supposed,
