Nine Doctors an Il Mr. YOst.


Several days since Mrs. Yost received a
dispatch from Hot Springs saying her hus-
band was dead. She fastened to Cairo,
sorely stricken with sorrow, expecting to
receive his body here. Here she received
another dispatch, saying her husband
was not dead. These different dispatches
confounded her, and she fastened on to
the springs, to find out his situation for
herself. There the contradictory tele-
grams were explained to her. To all ap-
pearances, her husband was dead, and he
was laid out as dead person. But, after
the lapse of several hours, it was discov-
cred that the body did not grow cold, as
it should. A consultation Of physicians
was held, there being nine in council.
The majority insisted that Mr.. Yost was
dead; but one, DIR. Reed, insisted that
he was not dead. In Difference to his
opinion, two galvanic batteries were ap-
piled to the body, and Immediately it
began to show signs of life. Bringing the
dead back to conscious life was slow
process, but was eventually accomplished,
and Mr.. Yost has been gaming ever since,
until he is now able to partake of a fair
meal, converse, write, etc., and he ap-
pears to have better prospect for recov-
ering his health than he has had for some
months.

Bernard Doran was born in County
Tyrone, Ireland, 80 he says, on January
7th, 1878. He was married twice, the
first time eighty-one years ago, and the
second time seventeen years later. In
1889, when he was sixty-six years old, he
came to America, and two years after
ward went to live at tenement house in
New York, owned by Terrence J. Duffy.
In 1862, Duffy was in great need of 5000,
and Doran offered to give him the money
outright, provided Duffy would agree to
allow him to pass the remaining years Of
his life in the house rent free.
Duffy died a few years afterward, but
Doran finally lived on, Mrs. Duffy keep
ing the agreement her husband had made.
The bargain became worse one every
year, although the interest was taken
into account, and finally Mrs. Duffy be-
came insane. A new house agent was
employed some time ago, and he calcu-
lated that Doran had paid 81 40 year,
or with the interest added, $2066. After
making the calculation, he notified
