CHICAGO. July 4.-The body of an un-
known man was found in the extreme
northern portion of the city this morning
near the artesian well. lying with his face
in the mud, with cut in the back of the
head. and his throat cut from ear to ear.
The body was stark naked, but the clothes
of laboring man were found near. The
police at first believed laborer had COM
mitted suicide. but subsequent investiga-
ton revealed the fact that the man had
been murdered and taken to that spot. his
clothes removed and others placed in the
vicinity to conceal his identity. He was
evidently no laboring man, but had we'll
shaped hands and the cleanly appearance
of his person except whore his body had
touched the mud, indicated that he was
rather professional gentleman than an
ordinary workman. No clue has yet been
obtained

PRESENCE OF MIND.

Many railroad accidents are pre-.
vented by presence of mind on the
engineers. The Car Builder relates
the following as among the recent evi.
dences of presence of mind on the part
of locomotive engineers:
A passenger train on the G. B. & @.
road was rounding sharp curve, just
under a piece of tall timber. The
watchful engineer saw tree lying
across the track 60 feet ahead of the
locomotive The train was running at
a rate of 35 miles an hour, and TO
check its momentum before reaching
the obstruction was cut of the question.
The engineer took in the situation at a
glance He threw the throttle wide
open, the engine shot ahead with the
velocity Of an arrow, and with such
tremendous force that the tree was
picked up by the cow-catcher and flung
from the track as if it had been a will
low withe. A man with not so cool a
head would have made the best posi-
bic use Of those so feet in the way of
checking the speed of the train. That
would have caused disaster.
Bradford, an engineer, was bring
ing an express train over the Kanka-
kee line from indianapolis. As the en-
gine shot out from the deep cut and
struck short piece of straight track
leading to bridge, herd of colts was
discovered running down the road
The distance to the river was only 100
feet Bradford knew he could not stop
the train, and also knew that if the
colts beat the locomotive to the bridge
they would fall between the timbers,
and the obstruction would throw the
train of, and probably result in a
frightful loss Of life. 1t took him only
half second to thinl of all this. The
other half was utilized in giving his
engine such a quantity OF steam that it
covered that 100 feet of track in about
the same time that bolt of lightning
would travel from the tip of lightning
rod to the ground. The colts were
struck and hurled down the embank-
ment just as they were entering the
bridge.
Butler citizen. [volume] (Butler, Pa.) 1877-1922, 1880-01-28

of the action Of the lungs He said,
"My hands," when one of his hands
was raised so that he could see it, and
, it was bathed in ice-cold water. His
hand was placed lIy his side, and he
said, Useless, useless :" which were
the last words OF the divine assassin.
Col. Conger gave Serg't Corbett a
singing reprimend, and said to him,
why did you shoot without orders ?"
The Sergeant took the position of
soldier, saluted the Colonel, and, with
right hand pointing upward, said
God Almighty ordered me to shoot !"
At this reply the Colonel mellowed
in his manner, and said: II guess he
did" and then dropped the subject.
Col. Conser Immediately started for
Washington to apprise the authorities
of Booths capture, and Lieutenant
Baker and the escort remained to bring
the body as soon as life was extinct.
4 neighborhood physician was called,
who gave it as his opinion that Booth
could not survive much longer Col
Conger started for Washington little
after sunrise, and Booth died in about
fifteen minutes after he left. The
body was sewed up in saddle blanket,
placed in one-horse wagon, driven
by negro, and taken across the coun-
try to Belle Plain, where the party ar
rived about dark The tug Ide was
waiting, the body put on board and
she then steamed up the river for
Washington. The capital was reached
about daylight in the morning, and
the body delivered to Secretary Stan
ton, who ordered it placed in the navy
yard Here it was kept one day
for Identification and the evidence of
various parties taken.

4 .SHREJTD CLERGTNAN.

The Rev Mr. Lane, Of Kensico, is u
remarkably shrewd man. Having
been accused of kissing various ladies
belonging to his congregation, he
frankly confesses the fact, but as justi-
fication and defence, he alleges that be
has done all his kissing with a proper
motive and with only fraternal feeling
Mr. Lane is very smart. On the
fact, if he took issue, he would un-
doubtedly be beaten, if not out of his
boots, as the vulgar phrase is, out of
his pulpit. But by simply turning the
whole matter on 20 the question of
motive, he gets it on point in refer
ence to which he alone can testify of
his own knowledge; and how do they
expect to disprove what he says?
The husbands of some of these
women join in the pursuit of this
well-ntentioncd minister of the Gospel
What right have they to do this !?
They say the clergyman kissed their
wives. What of it Are not minis
ters privileged to bestow kisses where
laymen are not? If ministers are not,
then many of them have misconccp-
tion of their own prerogatives.
One point, curiously enough, is
brought out by the excellent and de-
voted wife of the clergyman. She
says, with emphasis, Vr Lane as a
man" This important consideration
appears heretofore to have escaped the
attention of both the male and female
members of Mr.. Lanes congregation
Indeed, it is a point often overlooked
by the devout members of churches in
regard to their clergymen until some
great development brings it forcibly to
mind
Having read what the women who
were kissed by their pastor have to
say, We should like to know now what
those-if any-who were not kissed
by him think of the man. They ought
to rally to his defence VIII they !?
If they do, unless he has kissed a
majority, the weight of testimony
ought still to be in his favor For our
part we give credit to his testimony,
believing he meant to do what he did
The view taken by the committee
appointed to investigate the charges
against Mr. Lane is of the most COM
prehensive character. They find that
he did the kissing that he was i'm
prudent; but that his conduct was not
immoral. That is to say, the kissing
other mems wives by clergyman is
not in itself immoral, but if done in a
way to be found out and to cause such
a scandal, it is imprudent.

SINGULAR CASE.

4 paper was read al a late meeting q
! the Clinical Society, London, By DR. G
! Wilks, of Ashford. on a remarkable
case Of lightning stroke, which oc-
cured on June s, 1873. 4 farm Ia
bOrer was struck by lightning while
standing under willow tree, close to
the window Of a she'd in which his
three fellow workmen had just taken
shelter from violent storm of rain.
His companions found the tree partly
denuded of its bark, and the patient s
boots standing at its foot. The patient
himself was lying on his back two
yards off, and though he was fully
clothed previously, he was now naked,
with absolutely nothing on except part
of the left arm of his flannel vest He
was conscious, but much burnt, and
his leg was badly broken. The field
around was strewn with fragments of
the clothing; the clothes were split or
torn from top to bottom, the cages
of the fragments being often torn into
shreds or fringes: they only showed
evidences of FIRE where they came in
contact with metal, such as his watch
and the buckle of his waist belt. There
We're no laces in the boots. The left
boot was torn and twisted into fantas-
tic shapes, but the sole was uniniured,
and there were no signs of fire upon it !;
the right boot had the leather much
torn and the sole rent and burnt. The
watch had a hole burnt through the
case, and the chain was almost entirely
destroyed. The stockings We're split
down the inner side; the hat was un-
injured. The patient stated that be
was struck violently on the chest and
shoulders, became enveloped in blind
ing light, and was hurled into the air,
coming down on his back, call of
crash, "and never losing consciousness.
The hair of his face was burnt, and
the body was covered with burns.
Down each thigh and leg was broad
crimson indurated band of burning,
passing along the inner side of the
knee, and ending below the left inner
ankle and the right heel; lacerated
wound, with a comminuted fracture of
the os calcis. The bones of the right
leg were fractured, and the tibia pro-
truded through the skin in the course
Of the burn. He was discharged
healed twenty weeks after the occur
renee DR. NVilks remarked on the al
most complete exemption of the ner-
vous system and on the probability
that the clothes being wet acted as good
conductors, and so diverted the cleo
tric current from the great nervous
trunks, thus saving the mans life.
