A coNcLAvE OF DOCTORS.
Drs. Nadeau and widney Pronounce
six OF the Seven Doubtful Remains
Not Human-The Seventh that of q
Male Human Being


Yesterday afternoon DIR. J. P. Wild
ney, member of the State Board Of
Health, and DIR. H. Nadeau, County
Coroner, in company with DR.. Ross
went to the undertaking rooms Of Albert
Brown, to make an examination of the
remains pronounced by Drs. Ross and
Kurtz to be not human, and claimed by
DR.. Stern. Of Bakersfield. to be victims
Of the railroad accident which occurred
near Tehachepi ON Saturday, the Goth
instant. DR.. Kurtz being absent from
the city temporarily, the other medical
gentlemen were compelled to proceed
without him. They carefully examined
the remains Of the seven alleged victims
and the result Of their investigation is
contained in the following certificate,
signed by them
Los ANGELES, Jan. 27, 1888.
1--WE, in company with DIR. Rose, have
examined the burnt remains brought
from Tehachepi, and we pronounce six
Of them not human.
lSigned), H. NADEAU, Coroner.
j. P. WIDNEy, M. ID.
1t will be remembered that DR.. Ross,
ON his first examination, was in grave
doubt Of the character of one set Of re-
mains, which caused him to call in DR..
Kurtz TO go over all the remains with
him on Monday evening. At this ex-
animation they concluded that these
remains, like the rest, were not human.
The remains consist ip small portion
Of body very much burned, with none
of the distinguishing attributes which
made the other remains easily deter
mined as those of human beings. In the
HERALD of the Odd instant was pub
lished in full the ubts of DR.. Ross.
and the after conclusion of the two ply
sicans. Yesterday; however, the same
doubt took possession Of Drs. Nadeau
and Widney, and in consequence the
three medical gentlemen proceeded TO
cut the remains in every possible way.
After long. tedious and apparently
hopeless investigation, they at last came
npon cine which disclosed to them in
dnbitably that the remains were human,
and we're those Of male, They then
went over all the remains piece by piece
and with the result above stated,
The remains which were yesterday
pronounced to be those Of a man, were
taken out Of the wreck Of the express
car. They are supposed to be those of
tramp, as everyone who was killed in
that car has been accounted for. This
theory is the only one which car account
for the appearance OF this corpse in this
car, and bears out the theory advanced
that the accident was cansed BY tramps
who started the train down the grade
with view to robbing the express car.
All the remains will still be kept, so
that II any further investigation be de-
manded it may be had.

A TALENTED WOMAN.
A Brief Sketch of the Life of Mrs.
Matte A. Bridge Her Work, It's
Objects and Her Usefulness,


A very remarkable woman, Mrs. Mat.
tie A. Bridge, is at present visitor ia
our city, whittier she has come from
Santa Barbara proposing to deliver .
series of lectures on broad variety Of
subjects. Mrs. Bridge has come to our
city on the invitation of the Odd Eel
lows here, and HERALD reporter was
detailed to obtain brief sketch of the
lady's life, which has been one whose
recounting sounds almost like a
romance. In appearance Mrs. Bridge is
a splendid daughter of Eve. A hand.
some face lighted up by intelligent
brown eyes, added to superb physique,
wins admiration at first glance. Her
voice has that resonant musical timbre,
which gives promise Of being distinctly
heard by the large audiences she will
surely attract. Mrs. Bridge possesses a
magnetism of voice and Of manner
which augur well for the effect she will
produce upon her hearers.
Mrs. Matte A. Bridge was born in
the city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, but
npon her marriage to Mr.. Samuel l..
Bridge, removed to Florida, where her
husband engaged in banking. Upon
his death, which occurred six years ago,
Mrs. Bridge was left, with her young
son. almost destitute of the goods of

Magnetism the New Source OF
Health.

DR.. Edwin Robbins, the celebrated
Australian Electric and Magnetic Hea.
Ter, respectfully informs the public that
he has opened an office in the city OF
Los Angeles. DR.. Robbins discards the
use Of surgery, drugs, minerals and all
other medicines in his treatment and re-
lies solely on the powers of magnetism
An experience of several years in the
Australian colonies, San Francisco, Salt
Lake City and Denver, in which places
he has treated successfully thousands oil
persons, enables him to assert with con-
tidence that he can cure diseases which
have defed the application Of medical
science. Magnetism is the life principle
within US. The air we breathe is
charged with it. 1t is the vital force
emanating from all persons and that
which connects the soul with the body.
In support of this theory he cures acute
pains instantly, local pains in a few
days, and builds up the most shattered
constitutions in a short time. DIR. Rob-
bins, who has worldwide reputation
for his extraordinary cures Of all diff
cult and complicated diseases, possesses
power to relieve and cure all kinds of
diseases. DR.. Robbins diagnoses dis
eases free of charge without explanation
from the patient. If you wish referen-
ces, consult the patients now undergo

Another Story About II.
Wall Street News


1t was reported few weeks ago that
William X. Vanderbilt had suffered Sc
rfous losses from speculations in Wall
street. The report was eontradicted
on the authority of his father. who ex-
rihited natural anxiety to conceal
from the public the extent of "Willie's"
ipdiscretion. The fact is no longer de-
MED, however, that his losses We're not
only severe, but that they involved the
bulk of his available fortune. When
the true state of the case became known
to William II. Vanderbilt he had an
angry interview with his son. which
terminated in an offer 10 make the
latter an annual allowance of S70,-
600 provided he would pledge himself
never again TO dsbble in stocks. VIII
liam gave the pledge, but Insisted that
the sum specified was insufficient for
his support. and after considerable dis
cussiun il was increased TO Si00. 900. Ii
is also known that Mr.. Vanderbilt has
altered his will. so that, instead of hav-
ing absolute control of his share of the
property. William will only enjoy a life
estate, his children TO inherit the priu-
cipal after his death. These measures
have been taken with the entire concur
renee of the rest of the family, who be-
lievc that the prodigsl son has been
treated fully as well rs he deserves.

pulled out, but not a passenger got
