tectives Kerwin and Fruthaler arrested, on

look out for him.
The fugitive came and so did the post Of

papers were found on his person. which
showed that had he not been captured as
soon as he was he Intended to commit sui

EMMA ALTHoUsE's LONG SLEEP.
The Strange Case of Young Lady of
Aftica that Pm zzlas thA DOctOrS

The Strange Case of a Young Lady or
Attica that Puzzles the Doctors.
LocKPoRT, April % The queerest freaks
OF nature, if such they may be called, are
the long sleeps of Emma Althouse, young
lady residing with her parents at Attica,
Wyoming county. She has just awakened
from her last one of thirty-three days in a
very exhausted condition. This is the
longest of the many sleeps she has taken
during the past three or four months. When
she went into the sleep she appeared tran
quill and almost deathlike, but there is,
strictly speaking, no trance. Her first in
quiry, on awakening, was for her sister
Kate, and she begged the attendants at her
bedside not to allow herto go to sleep again,
or she would never wake up. After sub
sisting on virtually nothing for over
month, she was in a very feeble condition.
During her last sleep her grandfather
died in Mumford, n Y. One of her ques-
lions to her physician was regarding him,
and the doctor, fearing to shock her, said
that he was worse. She rather energetically
replied: why, he is dead; | know he is
dead" The members of the family are
positive that no reference was made TO the
death in her presence.
During her sleep her attitude is almost
rigid. She admits Of being sometimes very
thirsty. The periods before her awakening
are usually marked by bleeding at the nose,
high temperature, and strong pulse, with
an audible whispering. The case is a
strange one, and the doctors hardly know
what to make of it,
