MATTERS OF INTEREST.
Death Of the Fattest Woman in
the United States.
Some Other Newsy Topics from
Various Parts of the Country.

Mrs. Emma NJ. Marklcy, who was credited
with being the heaviest woman IN the coun-
try, was buried from her home, in Lombard
street, Philadelphia, few days since. She
was known to the amusement public as Nine.
Victoria. Her advertised weight was over
go pounds, and her actual weight about $50
pounds She was born in Reading, Penn,
about thirty three years ago, and was slim
ani delicate throughout her girhood.
At nineteen she weighed ninety pounds
only, but from this age she
began to gradually gain flesh Between
three and live years ago, when she made an
application for an insurance policy, she
weighed $50 pounds Afterward her weight
increased rapidly until she gained the dis
tinction OF being the latest woman in the
country, il not in the world. This honor was
con erred on her at the Fat Woman's Con
gres'' Mt the Arch Street Dime museum last
winter when she carried off the first prize
Two years ago she was placed on exhibit
| ton for n short time in Chestnut street,
and while there sustained an injury that
finally resulted in her death The platform
on which her chair was placed was hastily
constructed, and she expressed her fears as
to its strength. Soon after she hal mounted
the platform the supports gave way and she
fell to the floor. Her ankle was sprained,
and soon afterward she was attacked with
erysipelas in the leg.
Her weight seemed to increase during her
! illness, and sometime before her death meas
urements of several parts Of her body were
| taken The circumference of her arm at the
! biceps was thirty-sX inches. Her waist
| measured G2% inches and from shoulder to
! shoulder she measured three feet and one half
| inch. The measurement across her hips was
just four feet On the night of her death it
required the full strength of nine men to car
| ry her body from the second-story front
room to the parlor on the ground floor.
The coffin was probably the largest ever
| butt. 1t was constructed of three-inch wal
| nut planks, and was stoutly braced on the
inside with dozen heavy iron bars 1t was
six feet ten inches long, forty-six inches wide,
and three feet deep. 1t was too large to pass
! through the door, and was taken through the
! wide single window and carried to the I'M
| dertakers wagon by twelve stout men.
| There was not hearse in the city large
| enough to contain the colin. The interment
took place at the Odd Fellows cemetery. Her
burial was against wish expressed by her
! shortly before her death She had a morbid
fear that her body would be stolen for the
purpose of dissection, and asked that it be
| cremated. Her husbands limited means pre-
vented him from carrying out her wish.
