A REMARKABLE CASE.
Death of a London Clerk from Penholder
in His Brain.

Death of London Clerk from a Penholder
in His Brain.
From the London Times.
On Friday Mr.. Wynne E. Baxter the coro-
ner for the eastern division OF MiddleseX, held
an inquiry at the London hospital, White
chapel, respecting the death of Moses Raphael,
aged 81, q commercial traveller lately residing
at 100 st. PauPs road, Bromley-by-B Bow, who
died on the previous day in the above hospital.
Moses Davis, Of the Stanley house, Bow, iden-
tilted the body as that of his brother-in-law.
The deceased has been in witness employ for
q number Of years.
About six weeks ago he complained of pains
in his head, and also of shivers. DIR. Fordham
was called i'll to see him, and gave an opinion
that deceased was suffering from bronchitis
Psil2rdered spirits TO be applied 70 the head.
WHICH, was done, No. tiv Tail1 still continued
and'eventually it was decided to remove him
to the hospital. Until the last few weeks the
deceased had been in apparently good health.
he VAS % xondesfss AsaiiI worker, ana had
kept set Of books most accurately.
Henry Muir Doyle, house surgeon
attached to the London. hospital, stated that
he received the deceased on his admission, He
appeared drowsy, and complained of pain in
his head. He continued in that state until the
10th instant, but appeared quite clear-headed
and rational. On the 10th symptoms of Apo
plexy appeared, and the deceased expired at
y O'Clock the same night. Witness said that
since the death he had made a most searching
examination OF the mead ana BRAIN. On OPEN
ing the former he discovered an abscess in the
BRAIN 1t was about the size of turkeys egg
and had evidently been there some time On
removing the abscess from the base of the
brain penholder and nib were found pro-
truding from the top of the right orbital plate.
The pen was exceedingly sharp, and together
with the holder measured nearly inches.
This had produced the abscess, and the abscess
had produced death. The holder and nib were
of the ordinary kind generally used in schools,
and they must have entered the brain by way
of the right eye or through the right part of
the nose. There was no evidence to show how
long they had been in the brain, but it was
probable that they had been in there for con-
siderable time, as the bone had grown over
them, and it was with difficulty that they were
separated. He had examined the eye but had
failed to detect any injury. 1t was, however,
quite possible for such thing to enter beneath
the lid of the open eye, and the wound to heal
up, showing no sign of the entry. The widow
OF the deceased man was called in, and said
that her husband never mentioned to her any
thing about being hurt by pen. The coroner
said that the case was the most extraordinary
that had ever come before him. The jury found
that the deceased had died from an abscess on
the BRAIN caused by foreign substance, but
how the substance got into the brain there was
no evidence to show.

and the skeletons of the victims who had

Myra was very quiet She looked fixedly at
her husband.
''You do not think that am fit to live she
said.
"No, you have dishonored us both by the

region. You must die

And ne pointed downward.
Goodbye, jack"
1t sounded like a wall of anguish.
Slowly the woman began to descend Once
or twice she stopped and looked back, but
when she saw her husbands face she turned
and hurried onward.
She reached the valley, and paused.
The watcher on the hillside saw her waver
and fall. Then she struggled up and proceeded
a few steps.
She was walking blindly. She held her
hands to her head and staggered.
1t was not until she had fallen down on the
sand, and had remained there motionless for
half an hour that Jack Blount left his post,
and faced towards the ranch.

on through the woods.
But was it justice?

PRICE FIVE CENTS.

Father was out to the barn, and had clear
coast. l dumped tho sugar out of the old blue
bowl, put the thousand dollars in it, and placed
the cover on again. At last supper was ready.
Father asked a blessing over it, and he actu-
ally trembled when he stuck his knife in the
roast.
We haven't had piece Of meat like this
in five years, jim he said and mother nut in
with, And we haven't had any coffee in a
year, only when we went visitin''
Then she poured out the coffee and lifted
the cover of the sugar bowl asking as she did so,
How many spoons. Jimmy?'
Then she struck something that wasn't
sugar. She picked up the bowl and peered into
it: AHA, Master Jimmy, playin' your old
tricks ON your nanny, Ell? Well, boys will
be boys
"Then she gasped for breath. She saw it
was money. She looked at me, then at father,
and then with trembling fingers drew the
great roll of bills out.
'Ea! ha ha ] can see father now as he
stood there then on tiptoe with his knife in
one hand, fork i'll the other, and his ewes fairly
bulging out OF his head. But it was too much
for mother. She raised her eyes to heaven

other end of the rope, and climbing tree on the
other side, stretched tho flag ayross the street high
in the air in front OF Miss Brothers home. Next
morning the joke gave such publicity to the future

A QUEER MARRIAGE.

He had asked and obtained the hand of
still young and pretty woman, the widow of
general. Hardly had the ceremony ended than
Marco became gloomy and respondent. The
next morning. having passed the night alone,
he sent his wife letter, in which he said that
he had married in a moment of Abstraction"
that he was utterly untitled for married life,
and that he begged her to excuse him. as he
did not feel that he could make her happy.
He therefore gave her back her liberty, and
considered himself equally free.
One can imagine the surprise Of the bride.
However, she took the matter philosophically
and returned to Rennes, where she was resid-
ing when she met this peculiar bridegroom.
What seems still more remarkable is the fact
that even after this, the couple remained good
friends and wrote each other the most anicable

But, sir, to make long and sad story as
short as possible, would ask any candid
and conscientious man, who can feel any
interest in the well-being Of the toilng
masses of the people, to take the table ap.
pended 10 the report of committee that
framed the Mills bill and examine it care
fully. He will find that while the rich man
who wears English broadcloth is subjected
to a tax of about so per cent, the laboring
man who is compelled 10 buy something
cheap to wear awhile on Sundays while il
is new, and afterward TO work in, is sub
jected to u tax of 1870 per cent This is only
an example. He will find a like discrimna
ton made against the poor man throughout
the immense wooden and cotton schedules
and almost in everything that he daily stands
in absolute need of. Again he will find that
specific duties are levied TO blind the people
to this outrage upon humanity. Again he
will find in the long list of wooden goods
tax upon them averaging at least rs per
cent, and while the committee proposed TO
cut II down to 40 per cent they were beset
by the opportunities of the convention OF
wool dealers, wool-growers and wool-man-
ufacturers clamoring for an increase to an
average of about 1875 per cent. Thus it will
appear that combinations, alliances, trusts,
&c, against the people are not myths and
Phantoms, but realities, and doubtless mil
lions Of dollars ruthlessly wrung from the
laboring people under the Ubiquitous policy
that still prevails was during the campaign
used among them by which many of them
were induced to assist In riveting this loath
some chain upon themselves.
But why elaborate al1this now, (some will
say) it is too late, we are beaten. Because
| would have it understood at once that
though We are vanqushed we are not con
quered. would propose To open the cam
paign for 1892 Immediately. We must bear
this war. tariff, this monster Of oppression
that Is nsidiously eating out our substance,
for four years more at least meanwhile let our
protests echo and re. echo in every State and
Territory, in every county, city, town and
hamlet in the land.
Let men Of experience in public speaking
go forward To the work on all proper occa-
sions, and let ambitious young men be en-
couraged to do the same, and let all be
furnished with data to enable them TO lay
bare the abomination To public gaze.
