THE porrERs FIELD.
The Poor and Friendless Dead THAT ar
Buried There.

The Poor and Friendless Dead That are
Buried There.
Few persons have any idea of the num-
Der of poor and friendless dead who are
buried in "Potters Field" The recent
newspaper notoriety given the interment
of Captain Gifts remains in this burying
ground and its subsequent disinterment
and dissection in medical college sug-
gested the idea Of investigating the
subject Of burial statistics in the pauper
graveyard.
A GmTIc reporter found that the records
of the Health Office show that "Potter's
Field is patr onized more extensively
than the majority Of the best burying
grounds in the District.
The number of persons buried at public
expense during the fiscal year just ended
was 4S1, which is more than 10 per cent.
of the entire number of burials in the Dis.
trict. Nearly all of these were buried in
"Potter's Field.n
The only other cemeteries of the 3S in
the District that received more bodies in
1886 were Mt. 0livet, 739; Mt. Pleasant,
GOO; Congressional, Ala.

Another Great Invention

On the end of each grain Of wheat is a
bunch or tuft of short fibres of silica whose
removal has until recently been con-
sidered impossible though it greatly de-
teriorates the quality of the flour made
from the wheat and is very injurious to
the bolting-cloths, which are made ofsillS
and are very expensive, Middleton Craw-
ford, the inventor of the cotton-seed
cleaner, now on exhibition in this city,
has also invented very simple machine
which removes the silica from the wheat
ut the rate of five tons per hour without
injuring or in any way affecting the re.
mainder of the grain. This machine and
the patents which cover it belong to the
American Cotton Seed Company of Now
York, the owner of the Crawford Cotton
Seed Cleaner and as soon as the cotton
seed cleaperis fairly placed on the market
il is proposed by the company to push the
introduction of the wheat-cleaner 1t is
believed that the latter machine will
eventually be indispensable to the flour
mills of the country, as the cotton-seed
cleaner is rapidly becoming TO the cotton
planters ofthe South.

AN INTERESTING CASE.
Mrs. Mary Wilson Wants Marriag
Contract Enforced.

Contract Enforced.
An interesting case will be heard in a
few days in the Supreme Court in New
York city, in which Mrs. Mary A. Will
son, aremarkably handsome young bru-
nette, is the plaintiff against Ella Wilson,
wife ofthe1 late jacob Wilson, and the ad-
ministratrix of the real estate left by him.
On March %, 1883, Mrs. Mary Wilson
claims tliat she entered into a contract
with Jacob Wilson, the terms of which
were that in consideration of $4,000,
500 per month, and tho conveyance of a
homestead with several ofground in
Uniontown, N. j., she was to marry his
son Jacob, thena young man of leisure
about town. Her maiden name was Mary
A. Keane, and she then lived with her
father in this city. She married young
Wilson. The elder Wilson kept his
promise, and gave the young couple, a
good start in life, but no deed of the
property was executed, and shortly after
ward Wilson senior died. He had always
allowed his daughter-in-lawt to believe that
he was widower, but soon after his
death Mrs. Ella Wilson turned up, claimed
to be the old gentleman's n's-wife, and dis
puted Mary Wilson's claim to the home
stead and $4,000 The young woman
brought suit in the New Jersey Supreme
Court, before Judge Scudder, and estab-
lished her claim to the homestead and
other real estate. The young wife now
brings suit in New York to establish her
right to her allowance of $4,000 and 800
