STARVATION AT LOUISVILLE.
4 Young German Girls Fast of Fifth Days.
Special to Cincinnati Commercial.

4 Young German Girls Fast of EiffU DAYS.
Special to Cincinnati Commercial.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. 1.-THE story of
the starving girl, Minnie Siebach, is one of
strange mystery.
Sunday last Dr.. W. L. Leachman, one of
the best physicians in the country, visited
the house of Mr.. and Mrs. Siebach. They
live in small cottage on the north side of
Marshall, one door above jackson.
"Vell, vat is your psasness?" she asks. "If
you is a reborter please go away; We is pott
cred great deal lately by them.''
The German woman who met the visitor
at the door will permit him, if he be ply
sician, to examine the sick-chamber. This
privilege was accorded to DR.. Leachman.
The sick girl lay at full length on an ordi-
nary bed, the covering of which was neatly
reversed in part several inches above her
waist. Her arms were also at full length,
and her legs were stretched similarly. Ex-
animation showed fair temperature of the
body, but pulse of 131. Her feet were
cold, 80 cold that hot iron had been placed
against them. Looking at her hands, DIR.
Leachman discovered skin and bones, the

or less anchylosed. The eyes, when this
physician made his examination, were closed,
but the mouth was wide open. Respira-
ton was quick and labored, while in respir-
ing most pronounced noise could be heard
all oyer the sick woman's apartment.
"How long, madame" asked DIR. A4each-
man, "has it been since your daughter tasted
food?"

eyes, sir; no food, no wafer"
"Any medicine2" questioned the doctor.
mo sir. have tried even to force victuals
and drink down her throat, but she immedi-
ately throws everything up.''
The physician continued his examination
Her stomach appeared very hard, and when
he touched the spot over the lower lobe OF
her left lung Miss Siebach moved as if in
pain.
"There,' said her mother, "that part al
ways hurts her; it is the cause of her sick:
ness"
DIR. Leachman gave careful examination
to the spot again. SIT contains, " he said to
the mother, water or matter which has come
from water. Has she ever had lung feyer?''
"No nothing till this came on"
| At this uncture the girls frame, from tue
abdomen to the neck, moved up and down
with much force and frequency
The disphran was especially convulsive
and resisted with ease the physician's s
hand when placed upon it. But the
more remarkable occurrence was the sound
of her voice, which, increasing in pitch and
volume, gave forth noise like the low bark
ing of dog. The convulusive movements
lasted five minutes, and the barking dice
away with them. The physician bade Mrs
Siebach good-by, and promised to call again
which he did on Monday, when on the fifti
eth day of the fast, he found her in higl
fever.
Miss Siebaeh is not quite 1s, has bee,
pretty, and still retains small mouth an,
teeth which are as snowy white, well form
ed, and beautiful as woman ever possessed.
The case is indeed strange one.

Debauehes and Elopes With Young Lady
From Convent.
DENVER, Aug. 16.-The Tribune has a long
special from Messila, N. NJ, to the effect that
there was much excitement throughout
Messilla Valley over the elopement of Father
Theodore Rinalt, a priest OF. .Laevouees, and
brilliant and beautiful young lady, Miss
Margaretta Gracia, from the convent Of The
sisters Of Loretto, who recently entered the
convent at the solicitation of the priest against
the wiahes of her parents. After continued
scandalous proceedings the couple eloped
and were overtaken at small
hamlet, where the priest appeared en- dishabille
and was struck and would have been killed by
the uncle of the girl if officers had not inter
fered. The priest and girl were finally mar
ried. The former tells horrible stories abont
the bishops and other priests.

"Judge Taylor is the descendant OF an old
New England family, and perfect type of
the Western Reserve citizen. His father,
Elisha Taylor, came to Nelson, Portage
county, Ohio, from Massachusetts, in
1914. In the wilderness which constituted
the Reserve in those days. the sire built him
self and family humble home. In the
year 1928 Ezra B. Taylor was born, and his
early life was struggle with the limited
school facilities of the day for an
education preparatory to professional life.
He studied law with Judge Payne,
now of Cleveland, but at that time resi-
dent Of Garrettsville, Portage county, and
in 1916 was admitted to the bar and opened
up practice in Ravenna. Judge Taylor
remained in Portage county until 1862,
when he came to this city. He enlisted as
private in the One Hundred and Seventy
first Ohio National Guard in 1864, and grew
in popularity and merit so rapidly that near
the close of his service he was elected colo.

une1pired term. In October, 1876, he was
elected to the judgeship, which position he

dogs last night, that being the number of
unregistered CANNES unredeemed and there
fore doomed. During the week about thirty
unregistered dogs were captured, and all
had to pay the penalty of not being attached
to the necessary tags. No complaint can be
made that the dog ordinance is not being
enforced. Some complaint has been made,
however, of offensive smells from the cells,
in the hall basement, where the dogs are
confined. A MIRROR reporter was taken
into the dungeon yesterday afternoon by
officer Hunt and shown the condition of the
place. 1t was found that every precaution is
taken for the preservation of cleanliness, in
fact, nothing is left undone to keep the
place as pure as possible, and, instead of
censure, the highest praise is due for the
manner in which the law is being carried
out. The difficulty of the work was illus
