looking for Her Husband's Body-A A0thel
/ and Daughters Unsuccessful Search.
| Alfred Breslaw. An industrious German
mechanic, lived very happily with his wife
and pretty sixteen year. old daughter on
Master street, above Ninth, Philadelphia,
where he died suddenly of heart disease.
The neighbors found Mrs. Breslaw
in spasms, and carried her up stairs.
On the following day, when the wife and
daughter regained their senses, they found
that the dead mans body had been taken
to the morgue. Mrs. Breslaw went at
once. At the morgue they were told that
it had been taken to the potter's field
They consulted Mr.. Wendell p. Bowman,
and he began an investigation on the
third day after Breslaw died. At the
morguc he was told that the body had been
taken to the pOtter's field for burial. On
visiting the potter's field he found an old
man named Casey, known about the hos
pitfalls and schools of anatomy as ugly
Casey, who referred Mr.. Bowman to this
entry in a greasy notebook, which he took
from his pocket: "Breslaw, Dutchman
from the morgue. Planted in the trench
Casey pointed the place out, but the lawyer
saw that the Garth had not been disturbed
for weeks.
"The body must come out at ouce, j" said
Mr.. Bowman.
The old man said it could not be done
and made numerous excuses, but when
Mr.. Bowman threatened to have him ar
rested he confessed that tho corpse had
been taken to a medical college. Mr..
Bowman at once turned his attention
to the colleges. The widow and daugh-
ter accompanied him in his ghastly
search. At this season of tho year no
bodies are dissected, but a large stock is
laid in for the fall and winter. Armed
with authority to search the cOllege-vats
and quicklime pits, Mr.. Bowman and the
women began. At the first vat Mrs Bres
law tainted when body was dragged to
the surface and exposed for her inspection.
She revived in few minutes. Corpse after
corpse was hooked up without finding the
one wanted. At the end of two days the
receptacles of every medical college and
school Of anatomy in the city had been ex-
amined without success. The women,
worn out by the unnatural strain on their
nerves, became hopeless and favored
giving up the search, but MIR. Bowman
resolved to visit "Ugly" Casey once
more, believing that he had lied to him on
his first visit. Casey admitted that he
had sold the body at DR.. Keen's anatOmi-
cal school, in little street off Kent street
between Market and Chestnut. The
corpse brought s14. Casey offered to
assist in searching for the corpse, and an
hour or two later Mr.. Bowman, Casey
and Breslaw's widow and daughter stood
on the brink Of tho corpse receptacle in
DR.. Keen's school. They searched the
vats in this school, but the body was not
found. There search ended. 1t is be-
lieved that after Mr.. BOwman's first visit
Casey became frighted, secured the body
from the person to whom he had sold it,
and then buried it.

THE DUNKERS DIVIDED.
Innovations Which Have Brought q

Innovations Which Have Brought . Re-
ngioussect Into Court Of Equity.
There is now pending in the equity
court of Franklin county, Pa, a cOntrO-
versy between different factions of the
sect of Dunkers, the determination of
which will bo of interest to this branch of
the Christian church throughout the
country. OF recent years many i'll
nOvatiOns upon the Oid.time Gus
toms have crept In among these peO-
pie, tho younger portion of the church
insisting upon education and paid min
istry, the establishment of Sunday schools
and the like. They have also insisted that
they should be allowed to dress according
to tho customs of the times and be allowed
tho use of musical instruments in their
homes. At meeting of the annual con-
ference held at Lanark, Illinois, in 1880, i
resolution was offered cOndemniDg these
practices, but SO far had the prOgressivists
advanced that the resolution failed to
carry. Meanwhile in many of the cOngre-
cations there are serious discussions. So
bitter has tho fight grown in Franklin
county that they refuse to worship to
gether.
A bill in equity was fled by tho progress
sive party, i'll which they ask tho court to
determine that they arc those VINO prac-
tice the faith of the church and that they
shall be put into uninterrupted possession
of the church property They assert that
their actions arc in accordance with the
rules laid down by the annual meeting,
which they claim is the only court Of
judicature in the church. The defen-
dants claim that the plaintiffs have
departed from tho faith of the fathers.
They deny the authority Of the
annual conf: f:rence and insist that the Bible
is their only guide. Four days have been
already consumed in taking testimony and
the case is likely to occupy many weeks;
The town is full Of Dunkers, among them
being many of the most prominent men of
the church. Tho best legal talent in the
country has been secured and tho final
settlement of the controversy will doubt
less be by an appeal to tho court of last
resort.
