A Puzzle for the Doctors.

n ALAit lVA tAt DOCtUI5s
Louisville Courier-Journal, March Zs.l
A most extraordinary natural aeci-
dent, and one for the discussion of ply
sicians, came to light a few days ago,
in which a needle taken INTO the foot
OF a lady nine years ago worked out of
the thigh of her third child, baby Of
one year. The lady in question is the
wife of Mr.. Harry Isaacs, the cigar
maker, who lives on Market steet near
Wenzel. At the time of the accident
Mrs. Igaacs was unmarried and was
then Miss Pauline Coblens. The
needle was encountered in a carpet
and penetrated her foot the full length
A physician was called in Immediately
but the needle could not be found,
although it was known to be in the
foot. She suffered great pain, and for
four months was unable to leave her
bed. During that period three physi-
clans made frequent attempts to ex-
tract the needle, and the knife was
used extensively; however, without
success. Miss Coblens was quite
feshy before the accident, but fell Of

A NICE CASE.

A very interesting law case will soon
come up for trial at CISCO concerning the
loss of some luggage which was stored in
the depot at that place. 1t appears that
some immigrants arrived at CISCO u few
weeks ago, and they carried with them the
usual amount of old boxes, chests and 9th
er articles of luggage. They arrived at a
late hour in the evening, and Immediately
hied themselves to relatives house, where
they spent the night. A storm came up
during the night, and the depot was COM
pletely demolished by the lightning. The
luggage likewise was transferred into their
simple elements, and the immigrants found
themselves on the morning after their ar
rival minus the articles which they had
carefully carried from their native land.
The question arises as to whether the rail
road company is liable for the loss sustain
ed. The luggage had been safely carried
to the point of destination, and the passen-
gers could have taken it away on the night
of their arrival. The loss was sustained
by lightning, and consequently there was
no neglect on the part of the railroad COM
pany. 1t is probable the foreigners will
have to invest in celluloid articles of APP

MARRY For MONEY.

their benefit, we are glad to be even the
instrument of inparting to them the knowl-

FAMILY RECoNcILIA TON.

The Onion family is, once more united
community, as the wife who arrived yes
tcrday refused to prosecute her husband
and sister for clipping. The details of the
affair are unnecessary, as the man and
woman were arrested last Sunday at Cable
and imprisoned in the county Jail at this
city on the same day. j. Onion and his
sister, law, Lizzie Walter thought that
they could enjoy life and happiness by
leaving the legal Mrs. Onion and the Om-
lom children at home in Minonk, Wood
ford county. and taking unto themselves a
new habitation. They acted on this idea,
and landed in Gable, where they created
the impression that they were man and
wife The deserted wife grew weary at her
husbands absence, an made inquiries as to
his whereabouts. This investigation led
the authorities to suppose that the guilty
pair would be prosecuted, and hence they
effected the arrest of the runaway pair at
Cable. Yesterday the wife reached this
city, and visited the jail. There she found
her liege lord in durance vile, and her sis
ter, the tickle Lizzie, also deprived of her
freedom. A reconciliation followed, as
the truant pair promised to reform and
stand the abuse and denunciation of the
wronged wife.
The parties were taken before Police
Magistrate Chopper, but as no prosecution
could be made without the assistance of
the injured wife, the prisoners were dis
charged.
They left the office in better spirits than
was the case on the arrival of the fugitives
last Sunday morning.
