THE CALHOUN CASE.
The Post Mortem Examination Furnishes a
Retaliation of the Malicious Stories
Circulated.

DIR. John Chambers and Deputy Coroner George
O., where they made post mortem examination
Of the body of Miss Mary Calhoun. Mrs. VOL
colt, sister of the deceased, WAS at first unwill-
ing to turn over the remains, but finally did so
on condition that two physicians of her selection
would be permitted to be present. Drs. Ha,nil-
ton and Medbury, of that city, were chosen to
represent tho family, and Drs. DOoley and Lee
to look after tide interests of the Gale family,
DR.. Chambers used the scalpel and DR.. Wishard
took notes at mis- dietaton. The body was found
in a healthy state of nutrition, showing no evil
dence OF lack of n0uri shment. The face
was sunken aud hands ana feet
delicate, but the body was above the
average in healthy Indications. The lungs we're
the only organs seriously affected, the left lung
especially being excessively engorged, accom-
panied by pleuritic adhesion. 1t was decided
that death resulted from pneumonia, with a
complication of pieuritis. DR.. Hamilton made q
written supplementary report, closing with the
remark that the Idea OF death from starvation is
preposterous. 1t is undecided what course will

posi- norton Is sufficient proof that the sersa-
tional stories concerning the death of the unfOr-
tunate lady were without foundation, and is a
sufficient commentary on the conduct of certain
morning papers that have sought from the
first to bring unfavorabe criticism to bear upon
a worthy family. There nothing in the case
from the beginning to warrant the publicity
body of the deceased has been dragged from its
grave, us the result of the uuwarrantabe con
duct OF the papers referred to, that they Will
have the decency TO let the matter rest.

There are altogether too many places of the same naue in this great and glorious country. For instance, there are no less than thirty Washingtons. The postofics authorities at Washington, D. O., suffering from the oare- lsssness of people who misdirsct letters, have had to sond out to each of the other thirty Washingtons in the country for lists of the business houses in each. Letters from all over the country meant for the various Wash ingtens go to the capital, and, if the clerks there have full record of all firms in all places of that name, they are able to forward the letters to their destination.
