~ rnsnnnd RodY or tho Athlete

from the Clsgellna OAiol Lodaer.
The autopsy on the body OF Robert f.
OdIun. the man VINO leaped into the East
river from the Brooklyn bridge. not only
showed that the fall had crushed nearly
an his vital organs. but also disclosed tue
fact that, in spite of his magnificent mus
culardeyelupmcnta and stalwart physique,
his hody waA far from sound. There wSs
q tubagcular deposit at the apex Of the
left lung, mis- liver had been ruptured
years before aud healed again, and one
kidney showed fatty degeneration, while
the 0tuer WAS fun OF cystic degeneration.
P1ut is % say, he was likely 90 become
constructive OF u die of kidney disease,
and yet O1lum was a man OF fine phy-
sique and rugged appearance. When
Garfield died the surgeons learned
that his digestive organs were
not i'm good condition, though
he was remarkably stong, healthy man.
lt was the same way with one Of The ath-
lctic, hardy desperadOes killed In the fight
near shelby, Ohio. "A year or so ago. In
fact. iJ Stems as " the doctors could dis
cover something wrong in the body Of al
most every strong, healthy man tuey get

H. a man who looks like a model OF physi-
cal perfection always q shell, fraud
upon the eyesight? Perhaps, after all,
the inyaiids are the ones booked for long
life. and the weak and puny are provided
with perfect internal organs. Let more
autOpsies be held upon dead athletes and
the truth be known. Perhaps, however,
the trouble is that organs unsOund under
a surgeons knife were well after all, ana
that strong men live 10 hale and hearty
old aye without suspecting the horrible
truth that their kidneys are iull Of cysts
and their lungs Of tuberclcs.

Attacked by an Eagle.

New YORK, Feb. 26.-While Hen
~ Conklin and Israel Plat, of Bah
ylon, L. l., were driving in the wood
near that village Yesterday, they
saw a large eagle in the branches OF
a tall tree, Conklin picked up a
le-barreled gun that was lying
in the bottom of the wagon, and
started for an opening where he
could get shot at the bird. He
discharged the contents of both
barrels at it.
The eagle, with piercing scream,
swooped down upon him. Conklin
started on a rnn for the wagon, but
his foot caught on projecting twig
and he was thrown to the ground
As he fell, the eagle landed on him
and planted its taloi.s in his leg. 1t
then began an attack upon bis body
with its bill. Conklin tried to get
upon his feet, but at every attemp,
he was knocked down by the
wounded and infuriated bird. Ii
almost stunned him with blow on
the back of his head from its beak
The bird fought desperately for
several minutes and Conklin was
getting exhausted when Platt came
to his aid. He used his gun upon
the eagle, but, at first, without any
apparent effect Finally several
hard blows laid the creature sense
less, after which it was secured with
ropes and taken to Conklin's home
1t is one of the largest eagles ever
taken alive on Long Island, ano
measures seven feet six inches from
tip to tip.

A Case of w hisky Madness.

PADDUcAH, KY, Feb. 27.-A bru-
tai outrage is just reported from Bal
lard county. Last week a laborer
named Kelly, from Villa Ridge, ILL.,,
having finished his work in this
State, was on his way home. AS the
steamers were ice-beund, he was
travelling afoot. Near Northington's S
store, in Ballard county, he met a
party OF men who asked him to join
them, but he refused. That night
he stopped with farmer named
Crice. Just after he had retired a
party OF men called at the door for
him. He went out, and they said
he was wanted for robbery. He
protested his innocence, but they
led him to the road, tied his hands,
placed a rope about his neck, noun
ted their horses and rode off rapidly.
Kelly was obliged to RON to keep
ur'. and, at bridge, fell, and was
dragged a considerable distance
A fter the gang were satisfied with
this sport they dismounted, tied
their victim 10 q tree and whipped
h i'm till he was unconscious. When
I,elly regained Consciousness they
were gone. He walked back to
.Crice's, and the next day reported
his treatment at Wickliffe. 1t is
found that the men were on a villa
spree, and the outrage was the result
of whisky madness.

to Mrs. Clara Miller. who resides in
that vicinity and who did not have
an infant. She became very indig.
nant about it and tossed the shoes
into the street. Shortly after the
owner called for them, and upon
being informed of what had taken
place a demand was made upon
Mrs. Miller for the price of the
shoes, which she refused to pay.
Hence the suit. Judgment was Civ
en- against Mrs. Miller. She will
take the suit to court.

General Grants III Health.

New YORK, February 27.-Not.
withstandiEg the rose-colored report
of General Grants health recently
given in medical journal. the truth
is that General Grant is very sick
man, and his death apparently moi
far distant. The country should
know the truth about General
Grants health, and | speak advis
edly when | say that the public
have no conception of the shattered
condition of his physical system.
1t is hoped that the affection o.
the tongue may not prove fatal, but
there is as yet no assurance that Il
is not the development of a malig-
nant and fatal disease. Although
somewhat better now than some week:
ago theenlarged and inhamed tongue
continues, making it painful to speak
or swallow fluids, the only nourish-
ment he can take. In addition to
this distressing malady, General
Grant is a terrible sufferer from neu-
ralgia, and it seems to have taken
possession of his whole system. He
has had several of his teeth drawn
to lessen neuralgia torture. and his
injury in the hip, caused by his fall
a year ago. is still TIE source of great
suffering anu forbids physical exer-
else.
1t is a tact that shonld no longer
be concealed from the country that
General Grant is rapidly breaking
down, and apparently without Lope
of reacting, and unless there should
be some unexpected relief, he will
not be many uaonts among the liv-
I ing. He is wonperfully patient and
accomplishing and he profoundly
appreciates the expressions of sym
pathy which have been called out
by his recent appalling misfortunes,
He works every with bandaged head
and in unremitting pain, to finish
his military autobiography or histo-
rv of the war, and hopes to complete
it this spring. The first volume is
entirely finished bat not revised
and the second and last volume Is
more than half done He has not
taken the tirne to revise his first vol.
ume, beause of his apprehension
that he NAV not be able to finish bis
second volume. His book will be
issued by Webster, Mark Twain:
agent and publisher, and promises
to be a great success.
