A Remarkable Fast Recalled.
Xnh6sh Indiana. Snecinl

The marriage in this city of Miss
Elizabeth 0swalt to George Shillinger,
of Roam, recalls the remarkable fast
made by the lady in 1SS2. which at
tracted the attention of medical men
in various parts of the country. Miss
Oswald at the time was living with her
parents, four miles north of the CITY,
and was 30 years old. Her first trotl-
bic was that it panied her to take food,
so she concluded to do without. II twas
thought at the time that the trouble
was caused By disordered nervous
system. A; the end of ten weeks the
lady had become very weak and ema-
clated. and 1t became evident that the
end was near. The patient Law in a
stup0r and was unable 10 recognize any

and were as white as snow. showing
no trace OF blood. She was greatly
worried by the false impression which
bad gotten abroad that she was trying
70 starve herself. On the contrary
she had made every endeayor to eat
and drink, without avail, as her stom-
aeh rebelled. She was frequently
seized with severe retchings, which
left her greatly exhausted, meanwhile
the patients temperature remained
normal, and her pulse averaged So
The attending physician contemplated
try ing infusion OF blood, but It was
thought best not To make the expert
ment. After the 18th day the faster
began to mend, and partook OF a little
nourishment, principally lemonade,
and followed this up with mineral
water, when it was found that
food was retained, and from
that time the patient began TO mend
rapidly. She Is now strong and
healthy. and seems TO be none the
worse physically for her fast, which
in some respects, was one of the most
remarkable on record.

EPISCOPAL MISSIONS.
Annual Meeting of the American
Church Society.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-The Twenty
ninth annual session of the missionary
council of the American Episcopal
church began this morning in this
city. Two hundred and fifty delegates
were. present, among whom are many
prominent bishops.
The annual report of the board Of
managers of the Domestic and For
eign Missionary Society shows that
the society has IL principal and 145
out-stations, an increase of 81 since
last year. The treasurer's report
shows balance of $4,000 still to the
credit of foreign missions. The an
nual report of the woman's auxiliary
to the board OF missions says that of
1850 parishes and missions in the
church in this country only 1851 this
year report auxiliary work. The re-
port suggests especial work to en-
courage in every parish the formation
of two junior parishes, one for young
people and one for children. Gifts in
money and boxes this year amounted

rHE OREGON SHORT LINE
It's share OF Freight Mileage Should
Re yucreased.

Bosrox, Nov. I3.-The arbitrators to
whom was submitted the question of
division of rates on through business
between the Union Pacific and Oregon
Short Line rendered decision which
is deemed slightly favorable to the
Short Line.
The report SAYS: The general state
ment that the Oregon Short Line has
been allowed one and one-half or one
and three-quarter miles TO one mile of
the Northern Pacific is not virtually
correct. In many cases an arbitrary
rate has been allowed the Short Line OF
$l55 per ton, which amounts to only
.721 per ton per mile, which rate can
not be considered a fair allowance, as
it is lower than the trunk
lines west of Chicago and but
little more than the trunk lines
east of Chicago, with their enormous
tonnage and rich local territory. Dur
ing the same year the Union Pacific
averaged .1i9 per ton per mile, and the
Atchison. Topeka e. Santa Fe aver
aged .17S9 per ton per mile. We have
reached the conclusion that the diyis-
ion recommended by the government
directors in iSs2, IL to l, is an equit-
able division for passenger and freight
traffic 10 and from the Oregon Short
Line and its branches for all freight
hauled 10 and from Granger to Poca-
tella that goes over the Utah & North
ern and is simply hauled from one
point to another; thatthe mileage rate
allowed should be the same as that al
lowed the main line.
We would suggest that this adjust
ment be retroactive, cover the entire
operation of the road from its compile
ton and that interest be allowed by
the Union Pacific on all amounts found
by settlement on this basis to be due
for money advanced TO pay interest
on the bonded Indebtedness. While
from the papers submitted it is per-
haps hardly to be expected that the
foregoing notifications of the con-
tract will materially decrease at first
the indebtedness OF the Short Line
already accrued, it is believed the in
creasing volume of business from the
territory traversed by that road will
prevent the accretion of it, and in time
give the stock an appreciative value.

wREcKAGE AND BODIES FOUND.
They Tell the Fate of Two Vessels
and MANY Seamen.

LONDON, Nov. IS - Considerable
wreckage and a number of bodies were
washed ashore between Looe and Pal
perro, in Cornwall, during the last day
or two. One body has been identified
as that of Capt. Weyer, of the German
ship Theodore Ruger. Articles that
came ashore have also been recognized
as belonging to both that vessel and
the Cunard steamer Nantes, with
which the Theodore Ruger came in col
hsion sc miles off the Lizard
There is now no doubt of the total
loss of both vessels, with most of the
crew of the Nantes and part of the 9TH
er ships crew. The survivors who
landed at Tronville included 16 of the
Theodore Ruger's and two OF the Nam
ties crew. 1t is believed all the others
went down with the vessel.
Another survivor from the Cunard
line steamer Nantes, reported sunk in
the English channel by colliding with
the German ship Theodore Ruger, has
landed at Liverpool and reports that
% of the crew of the Nantes were
drowned.
II is now learned that the collision
between the Nantes and the Theodore
Ruger resulted in the drowning of 25
of the steamers crew and II of the
crew of the German vessel.
