DEATH OF CLARA REINMANN.
The Untimely End of Promising Musical
Career-A Sketch of Her Life.

The Cincinnati Enquirer, OF yesterday, gives
the following account of the life and death of
Miss Clara Reinmann, formerly of this city, and
who is we'll remembered here.
Many Cincinnatians remember the pleasure
they experienced some years ago IN listening
to the charming voice OF NJ ISIS Clara Reiuinann,
an Indianapolis girl who gave premise of bril-
liant future in The line of her rofesslon, which
promise was dlmmed by the cloud that enveIoped
her mind, rendering her hOpelessly insane. The
unfortunate woman, to whom death WAS n well
come guest, died yesterday afternoon in Long
view asylum, of which institution she has long
been an iumate. She was born in Indianapolis,
her father being wealthy citizen there. The
beauty of her voice was recognized by all, and
She nad numerous calls for concerts. Her talent
was SO evident that she was sent to Berlin,
where she studied under Stern aad Erich. Her
appearance IN frequent concerts gained her snch
favor that in 1877 she received the offer OF an
engagement from the ROYAL Opera-hOuse, About
che same time she likewise received an offer to
become one Of the solosts at the sengerfest
that was then held in Louisville. Being desi-
T0us OF gaining fame and honor in her own
country, she came home, and created furore.
At that time the beauty of her person was only
eXeelled by the wondrous sweetness of her voice.
Mad. PAppenheim, who OF the sololsts
with her at Louisville, promised that she should
become member of her company, and that
they would sing together IN concert during tue
summer months. That promise WaR never kent,
and therein originated the first mental trouble.
Then her father failed in business. ana moved to
this city. Reyerses followed in ra pd succession.
she engaged in concert tour through ONO
anu NeHluckl lHHb prOb6u uiSaSCTOuS' oHo
became deranged, and was sent to Longview,
from whence she was discharged in a few months
as cured. After that she sang "a few times.
After the Cincinnati sBngerfest of 1879 the Ger
man Teachers Convention which met here held
pleasure affair In the GEOLOGICAL Garden. She
was requested to sing, and began OF Schubert's
never-to-be -forgotten melodies. In the midst of
it her voice tremblsd and she burst into flood
of tears, unable to proceed. Being asked why
she wept, she said, in tones of deepest grief that
she could not sing that song, as it reminded her
OF former days of happiness Soon after that
she became hopelessly insane, and was removed
TO the asylum from whence she is now liberated
by death.

LocKPoRT N. Y, April 21.-One of the
most remarkable cases in the practice of OBJ
the medical PROFESSIONALS occurred at Ran
sonville. this county. The facts came to light
this morning, and are briefly these: Over
year ago lady named Harrington, residing
at Ransonville, was stricken with complete
paralysis of the body except one arm and
was entirely unable to move 1t was sur
prising that she lived to this time. But
more marvellous occurrence was her giving
birth to a healthy child a few days ago, while
entirely alone, and, strange to say, owing to
a lack of feeling of the paralyzed body, was
completely unconcious of it until appraised
by Others, who found her later. The afflicted
lady fingered several days, but finally died.
The babe is still alive and healthy. These
facts are authentic, and physicians never
heard of another such case.

Electric;tv as a Motive Power

New York, April 23.-Prof. Henry Nor
ton, of Stevens's Institute of Technology, de-
ivered a remarkable address this evening,
in which he showed by experiments that by
simple Continuance, and at slight expense,
electricity could be used as a motive power,
not merely to propel street-cars, but to run
the most complicated kind of machinery.
The energy stored in box cubic foot large
could take car full OF passengers from one
end of New York city to the other. He
claimed that the contrlvance might exceed
in value the invention of the telephone, as
the secret of applying electricity as a motive
power has hitherto been sought in vain.
