most wonderful case he ever heard or read
Of.
A number of the medical fraternity de-
termincd to apply 4 galvanic battery to
the man. and special apparatus was pro-
cured. The battery was first applied to
his extrem;ties, but produced nothing
moro than the ordinary spasmodic action
Of the nerves. Them were NO signs of re-
turning consciousness. It was next applied
to the palms Of the hands and the sOles of
his feet, but the operation produced not
even \ tremor, and the patients almost
imperceptible breathing was not IN the
least affected. Occasionally, when not un-
dergning any test, his breathing will ap-
parently cease altogether, which for
time creates the impression upon the at
tendants that life has departed. He re-
mains in that condition for time, then
suddenly and without any apparent move
ment of the body, his respirative organs
slowly begin operations again. Several
times his death has been announced, but
he still breathed, and strange 60 say ho

Lying for Five Weeks Unconscious aud In
sensible to PAIN.
In Reading, DR.. Erdman has under his
care case Of supposed trance, which has
continued for five weeks, and which is at
tracting the attention Of the medical and
scientific men in this section of tho state.
The patient is John Gyumbere. He is
about As years Of age, robust, and appar-
emily perfectly healthy, yet he has not
been conscious, nor has he spoken for
thirty-fOur days. Yesterday he was sub
jectcd to the most trying tests, but they
had no effect whatever upon him. He lay
perfectly still, and his system male no
visible response to the ordeal it under
went.
Gyumbere arrived in Fogelsville, Lc-
high county, a stranger, about five weeks
ago. He asked Tor refreshment, was
served and he paid for it. He subsequent
ly took seat and fell into doze. An
effort was made to awaken him, but he
could not be aroused. He was shaken
and pitched around lively for while, and
then medical assistance was summoned.
The physicians failed to arouse him. and
as his home was unknown, he was taken
to the almshouse. Since then he has not
word or given any sign of life
except a slight yawn. He lies stretched
on his back on q low cot. Small doses of
liquid fluid have been poured down his
throat, but there has been an apparent life

ART TREASURES BURNED.
And the Marrow Escape of a New Ycrl
Young Lady,

And the Marrow Escape of q New York
Young Lady.
The New York Times of yesterday says
'TwO young ladies were in peril and valu-
able works of art, bric-a-bric, tapestries
and furniture were in danger of complete
destruction last night, at No. $40 Fifth
avenue, the home of Mr.. Thomas Rutter,
the Front street tea merchant. The house
is ono Of the finest on the avenue, and it's
value, together with the contents, is GER
tainly $500, 900. At 6:1j o'clock the elder
Miss Rutter returned from 4 walk, and
went to her apartments on the rear of the
third floor. Taking q match, she struck
it to light gas jet near one of
the windows. AS it burst into flame
the head Of the match broke off
and fell on the window hangings,
which were of tapestry. Miss Rutter
tried to put out the flames, but her cloak
caught fire. She lost her presence of
mind, and was rushing from the room
when her sister. who had heard her cry
when the match set fire to the curtains,
ran into room. stopped her. wrapped an
article Of apparal round her, and led her
into the corridor. An alarm was given
from signal box 5S3, just as Mr.. Rutter
entered the house. He ordered water to
be carried upstairs, but before any had
been taken there line of hose was
stretched to the third floor, and in ten
minutes the fire was ont. Just as the
firemen were about to leave, fire was dis
covered batween the ceiling of Miss Rut-
ter's and billiard room above.
This was put out in 4 few mo-
mcnts. Before the fire, Miss Ruttcr's
room was the prettiest in the house. Tic
walls were literally covered with paintings
and brackets, on which stood all sorts of
art treasures. Everything in the room
was destroyed, and an adjoining room, a
hall bedroom, in which were many art
treasures and bric-a-b -brac, was reached by
the flames. Below, reception rooms and
drawing rOom-an apartment 90 by 100
feet-were damaged by water and the fres-
Going will have to be replaced. The bill
lard room was slightly damaged. The
police estimate the loss at $1,000, but this
does not represent the actual loss at Mr..
Rutter's valuation. Many friends called
last night and congratulated the Misses

LEGACY or AFFECTION.

SUIT OF an Only Daughter to Break Hc
Fathers Will.
The surrogate of New York has sustain
ed the will Of Dr.. John Bishop. promi
nent physician, vino lived at No. 10 East
Eightieth street, and formerly lad an Of1ict
in Broome street. Dr.. Bishop was pos
sesscd of fortune of about $1OO, 600 when
his only child, Emilia A., in 1874 became
engaged to be married to Lyman w.
Briggs, the vice president of the Fidelity
and Casually company. Both DR.. Bishop
and his wife opposed the marriage,
especially the mother, and the de.
termination of Miss Bishop to marry
MIR. Briggs led to a family quar-.
rel. 1t was testified in the course OF
the contest that on the marriage day Mrs.
Bishop put Grape on tho front door and
kept it there for three days aftorward.
The cstrangement of the parents from the
daughter continued until 1878, when DR..
Bishop became SO ill that it was evident
he could not live much longer. On June
Goth he sent for his daughter and sought
Il reconciliation with her. June 2Jth,
and before the daughter returned for a
second visit, DR.. Bishop executed deeds
giving real property worth $50, 900 to
his wife, and also will bequeathinS
the rest of the property to the
wife. The will contained this clause {:
"To my daughter, Emilia A., wife of Ly
man w. Briggs, give my cordial love and
affection, and do earnestly advise her to
maintain always fi!ial love and affection
toward her mother, and thus secure in re-
turn what her mother will have it in her
power to Scstow." This was the only
legacy the daughter received, and when
DR.. Bishop died in July, 1878, she began
the contest on the ground of undue influ-
ence by the wife and of mental incapacity
and stimulants. The contest continued
gate, in his decision says: "This is
an only daughter pursued with an inten-
sity Of vindictiveness almost unparalleled
in the history of family quarrels, but
which in its progress contained features
which induced me, on several occasions,
to suggest an amicable adjustment of the
matters, because there appeared to be suf
ficent property for both, and that the
head and front of the daughters offend
ing was that she married a gentleman of
good intelligence, address and respectable.
ity against the Incorporate and ill.cOnsid-
cred opposition of her parents {; but my
suggestions were not heeded'' The sur
rogate finds that DR.. Bishop had as clear
an understanding of his relations to his
daughter and hers to her mother and the
legal force of tho provisions of the will as
to require him to sustain tho will. A suit
in e ejectment to determine the validity of
the deeds of DR.. Bishop to his wife is now
pending in the supreme court.

plan, however, to the stockholders
would probably be the allotment. There
is no great danger of the price of 80

the fresh issue. Those who would buy
it at seventy, with the privilege of pay
ing for it in three months, would be
very likely to make the profit out of the
operation that they calculate upon.

OUTCOME or The CAUCUsES.
Democratic and Republican Senators Cor
to CONCLUSIONS.


to Conclusions.
/ A caucus Of the Democratic senators
was held yesterday to act upon the report
Of the committee Of nine appointed to ar
range the majority membership of the
Senate committees. A number Of charges
Of minor Importance wcrc made. The only
conflict of opinion was in regard to the
composition of the finance committee.
Messrs. McPherson and Camden were
recommended to succeed Messrs. Herman
and Wallace. There was considerable
opposition to Camden on account Of his
being national bank president.
The selection was finally agreed to with
the understanding that it may yet be
changed. The committee was ordered to
complete the assignments for presentation
to-day notwithstanding the caucus had
been apprisedO Of tho refusal Of the Repub-
lican caucus to prepare list of the min
Ority members. There was no difference
of opinion as to the prOpricty and expedi-
ency of organizing the committees without
further delay. Although single objection
will prevent action on tho list to-day tho
election may be expected next Friday.
Malone has been assigned to several COM
mittee OH railroads and tho military COM
mittee.
The assignments Of chairmanships ~
finally agreed upon by the caucus arc as
published in the INTELLIGENCER yester-
day. The Republican senators also held
cancus, but no formal :lctiOn was taken.
1t was unanimously understood that tho
determination arrived at last Monday to
refuse to promote any organization until
the Republican vacancies are filled shall be
adhered to. The precise course to be pur-
sued was left for future action.
1t is now definitely understood that Mr..
Davis, of Illinois. intends to vote with the
Democrats, but the Republicans CONT
dently expect Malone will unite with them
and their four prospective colleagues in
the matter of organization, and that,
therefore, at an early day they will be
able with the aid of the vice president
casting his vote to rcOrganizc the Senate
and thereafter retain control of the COM
mittees and patronage.

lHE Kansas temperance executive CON-
mittee have issued an address congratulate
ing the people of the state upon the pro-
gress of the temperance cause. They say:
By the votes of her citizens, by tho de-
cision Of the supreme court, and by the ac-
tion Of her Legislature, Kansas has de-
clared herself forever free from all part
nership in the traffic ofintoxicating liquors
and now leads the world in the effort to
suppress by constitutional law the great
scourge Of the nations. Only by q prompt
aud vigorous enforcement of the laws can
we have right to hold the post of honor
in the great warfare with intemperance.
The passage of the amendment has been
followed by the enactment of a law that is
stringent in its provisions. 1t is note
worthy that this law passed the Legisla-
ture by large majority. The vote in the
Senate was 80 to Z, and in the Houre 100
to %, thus giving majority in both Houses
Of more than four to one.'
The correspondent of the London Times
at Berlin comments on the great increase
in the emigration to the United States,
and says "Whole villages are described
by local papers as migrating from Posen,
Prussia proper, and Schleswig. American
emigration agents, however, hardly dare set
forth the advantages Of the various states
which they represent, as they are warned
by the American legation that it would be
unable to help them if they should get
into trouble with the authorities. Mr.,
Wrandel, IN American citizen of Hunsa-
rian extraction, who two years ago was
forbidden to lecture in Berlin on emigra-
ton, has just been equally unsuccessful
on a second visit, designed to pursuade
the authorities Of the folly of impeding
emigration. 1t appears, however, that
the precautions against the exodus of
young men have been somewhat relaxed
in South Germany. The German govern
ment particularly aims to divert emigra-
tion from the United States.''
THERE was something Of prophecy in
the impassioned appeal OF the late Senator
Matt Carpenter before the electoral CON-
mission, when in powerful protest
against the reversal of the will
of the people of Louisiana and
thereby of the whole country, by that
tribunal he said I: 81 appear here for the

Or falsehood, or bribery, be induced or be
enabled to throw that state against him
