to Get Pass to st. Louis.
Louisville Courier-Journal.
Two or three days ago a neatly dressed
but heavily yelled lady entered Mayor
Jacobs office and applied for pass to st.
Louis. She told distressing tale of how
she had been enticed into q marriage
about four months ago by man named
George Russell, The ceremony, she said,
was performed by Father Wanly, at the
residence of her mother, Mrs. Morris, on
Sixth and Biddle streets, st. Louis. They
lived together until about week ago,
when he brought her to this city, where
he said his folks resided. Upon their ar
rival he took her to Nine. Mitchell's
bagnio on Lafayette street, and left, say
ing he would be back in little while.
Failing to return, her suspicious were
aroused, and upon inquiry she was told
the real nature of the place.
She stated that she was almost pros
trated with the shock of learning his ,du-
plicity She lost no time in telling Nine.
Mitchell her story, and was told that she
was at liberty to leave, but, as she had
no home, might stay there till able to
get out of the city. She relunctlantly &C
cepted this proposition, but was unable
to learn anything of the whereabouts of
Russell AS last resort she came to
the mayor for assistance.
She told her pathetic story with much
apparent feeling, and with every appear
'ance of sincerity. She showed familiari-
ty with st. Louis people, and the mayor
was very much prepOssessed in her favor.
Before giving her the assistance she
asked, however, he determined to inves-
tigate her story, and requested her to
call again. She assented in an honest
straightforwarded way, and departed,
having his sympathies strongly enlisted.
7 Upon sending to Madame Mitchell, how
ever, he was informed that no such par
! ties had ever been seen there. Not sat
| isfed with this, he also telegraphed to
st. Louis to the recorder to learn if the
marriage of which she spoke really took
! place. He was answered yesterday af-
ternOOn that there was no record of it,
and that there was only one Father
| Wanly, and he lived in Wisconsin.
The neatly dressed and prepossessing
young lady was probably a fraud. In
spite of her appointment to call again
she had failed to do so up to last evening.
A class of medical students in Buffalo,
n. \. has had the good fortune to see a
very rare case in which the action of the
! vocal cords in the interior of the larynx
could be studied in the living subject.
The subject himself may be considered
fortunate in that he lives even with a cut
throat. The story is, that in crossing
mountains in Roumania he, with others,
was attacked by robbers. His throat
was cut but they only severed the wind
pipe without cutting the important
blood-vessels, and as he showed signs OF
life, he was hanged. Inasmuch, how
ever, as the Windpipe had already been
cut across he was able to breathe in sDite
of hanging, and thus he was saved from
death by hanging by the fact that his
throat had already been cut. This case
reminds US of the laws of grammatical
construction of a sentence by which two
negatives make an affirmative the
double attempt to kill saving life
