The Wife OF General sherman Dies some
what Unexpectedly.
NEW YORK. Nov. 2S.-Mrs. Sherman,
wife OF General W. 7. Sherman, died at
ten O'Clock this morning at her home on
Seventy first street.
Mrs. Sherman slept quietly during short
periods last night, but at eight O'Clock it
became evident that she could live but q
few hours. General Sherman was notified
and he and his children who live at home
Rachel, Lizzie and Tecumseh-were ct
the bedside when Mrs. Sherman breathed
her last.
For nearly five years Mrs. Sherman has
been suffering from heart trouble and
about three weeks ago her malady as
sumed serious aspect. DIR. c. I. Smith,
of the regular army, was called in by the
General and through his efforts the trouble
was somewhat overcome. But on Sunday
Mrs. Sherman partook of something that
did not agree with her and in the evening
the serious symptoms of her illness reap
peared and she was hurriedly put to bed.
On the advice Of DIR. Smith, General Sher-
man called in another physician and
during the night he sent for DR.. Pepper.
the eminent Philadelphia physician. Des-
pte all the efforts of the medical men,
Mrs. Sherman continued to grow worse,
apparently sinking steadily and at seven
O'Clock last evening her condition became
so alarming that General Sherman was
advised to telegraph to all his children to
come to New York at once. Dispatches
were accordingly sent.
General Sherman was almost Frustrated
last evening. He and his wife have been
married thirty EIGHT years and grew up
as children together in Lancaster, D.,
where Mrs. Sherman was born sixty-four
years ago. Her father was the celebrated
Thomas Ewing. Senator, Representative
and Cabinet officer. and the mother was a
Miss Boyle, and it is from her that Mrs.
Sherman inherits her rigid Catholic faith
for which she has become noted.

Children'S Bodies Petrified.

PITTsBUEa. April 27.--Elizabeth,
Allegheny County, has cemetery
the ground in which has peculiar
qualities for the petrifcation of bodies
inferred in it. During the past few
years several disinterments have been
made in the cemetery. ana in every
instance the bodies were found in diff
ferent stages of petrifaction. Some
were entirely turned to solid stone.
In others the process was yet incom-
plete.
A few days ago the remains of two
children of A. B. O'Neil were eXhum-
ed for removal to another ce metery.
The body of the younger child, who
was 3 wears old when he ,iied and
had been buried seven years was Gu
tireiy petrifed and the featur es, limbs
and body were as well preser we'd as if
they had been chiseled from marble
The older child, who had been three
years buried. was partially armed to
stone, and those portions not yet pet
ri6ed showed no signs of decay. The
body of the younger child was acci-
derlally tapped with hammer and
it gave forth clear meta die ring.
The ground is a stiff, yellow clay
thoroughly saturated with water.

the fountain is being appreciated is
evinced by the continual crowd OF
people around it these warm days
On last Saturday. it took the united
attention of Mr.. Boyd and one OF his
clerks to attend to the wants of the
thirsty.
1t is a matter of satisfaction to
everyone to know that Mr.. Boyd
makes every thing used IN his foun-
tain, from alpha 20 omega, and all
of the very best and purest materials,
regardless of cost. Mr. Boyd belives
in giving nothing but the best. and
we believe that anything purchased
at his store is as pure as can 5e got
ten. This tells on the public, too, as
bis trade shows and its tribute to
the intelligence of the people. A man
may, as matter of economy, purchase
a cheap suit of clot hes, or shoes, but
when it comes to drugs and chemi-
Gals he wisely considers that the best
policy is to get the perfectly pure.
He naturally goes to the place where
he has most reason to expect these
and where the testimony of many
others insures careful treatment, and
reasonable prices.
Since everyone must, at some time
or other buy drugs we respectfully
submit the fact that it would be to
your interest to begin dealing at
Boyd's right away. If you don't
want drugs, and do want glass of
soda water there is the place to get it,
but we would confidently inform
you that it won't benefit you a parti-

April Oil Report.

The oil report for April shows that
the great shutdown has almost en-
tirely cut off drilling operations.
Only fifty wells were completed in
the the oil fields of Pennsylvania and
New York, twenty of which were dry
holes. This is remarkable showing
for the spring time The production
of the new wells is only 5l9 barrels a
day. For May the showing will be
even less, as many of the wells now
drilling in the Washington and
Canonsburg districts will be shut in
or added to the steadily-growing list
of the Producers Protective Associa-
ton.
The shutdown will end Novem.
ber l, but it will continue by consent
of all parties concerned for one year
from that date, by which time it is
expected that the great surplus stock
on hand will be wiped out and the
production will be about equal to the
daily consumption.
At the close of the month twenty
seven rigs were standing and fifty
nine wells were drilling. Many of
these wells are drilling for gas and
several will be altogether shut down
The prospect for better prices Is i'm
proving every hour.

She Was OSSified.

LooKpoRr, n. Y, April 81, 1888.
Mrs. Elizabeth Burridge Bullock,
daughter of Mr. Benjamin Burridge.
Of this city. who died on Tuesday
and was buried TODAY. was sufferer
from strange ailment. She was, so
to speak, in almost complete state OF
ossitication for the past fivejyears, and
her joints had become stifiened 90
that it was impossible for her to live.
She was most intense sufferer from
the pain attendant upon the advances
of the disease. The contracting and
drawing of the bones and cords of
the body was agonizing. To see the
frightfully distorted and emaciated
remains of what was once beautiful
and perfect woman would give only
partial idea of what Mrs. Bullock
suffered.
The lady was thirty.six years old
at the time of her death. When thirteen
years of age she was plump girl, at
tendanU upon the Washburn street
school here
One day. with other playmates, she
climbed a tree in the neighborhood of
school, and was dared to jump from
one of the branches. This she did,
breaking her collar bone and injuring
her right knee A swelling appear
ed on the inside of the knee which
troubled her more or less as the years
advanced. In 1873 medical aid was
first called in to treat her for her
knee, the pain from which had grown
to be quite severe, she having caught
cold in the member while skating.
She married in 1874. Some years
later her bones began to stiffen and
and trouble her some. Five years
ago the joints became hardened and
ossified and she was helpless.
Her teeth were all drawn out from
the upper jaw and both jaws set.
Physicians inserted piece Of thin
wood between the lower set of teeth
and the gums to keep the teeth from
injuring them. 1t was about three
months after the first appearance OF
the rigidity of the bones before the
body was completely affected. Her
health was completely undermined,
and the last five years She has been
failing gradually from day to day.
The effect can be realized when from
srrong, health tul woman Weighing
los pounds she faded away to almost
a mere skeleton weighing only thirty
pounds when shs died.
Her joints not only hardened but
the cords of the body contracted and
drew them into all manner of shapes.
The hip Joint on the right side was
completely out of the socket, and
protruded frightf'llly. The left limb
was drawn out OF shape, as were the
hand and head.
She subsisted on food prepared for
her. She fed herself. A tooth in the
lower set being removed to admit the
nouris bment Her right hand was
motionIess, but her left she was able
to guide little. She was thus ena-
bled TO write some. She read easily
talked readily to the time of her death.
For the past three years Mrs. Bull
lock resided with her father in this
city She was patient and never was
known to complain: The only simi-
Iar case, and then T. was not such a
marked degree as this. is that or j on
athan Bass, the oss ited man, of Lew
iston, this county, Bass is perfectly
rigid. but has not the contraction of
his joints. Mrs Bullock's disease Is
called chalky gout and chalky rbeum-
