CURIOUS AND RIDICULOUS FINDINGS MADE BY
THE JURY.

CURIOUS AND RIDICULOUS FINDINGS MADE BY
THE JURY.
Some cases Of comparatively recent oc.
currence will serve to illustrate the defect
OF the Coroner system. Here are four in
stances from single New England State.
In certain town q man shot himself.
"a Coroner hearing of the fact, and still
in ignorance whether death had occurred,
summoned jury and hastened to the
place, only to find the man alive. Select
ing the nearest saloon as q waiting place,
the Coroner and his jury remained there
until the man was dead, employing a boy
in the neighborhood to keep them informed
as to the mans condition, until he had
ceased to breathe, when they proceeded
with the inquest"
In another place:
"The body Of drowned man was towed
across a mill pond from one town to an
other, to save the first town, in which the
body was found, fhe expense Of inquest
fees"
The following humorous verdict was
rendered by Tennessee Coroner's jury:
"He come to his death from the follow
ing causes, TO wit; From some sudden
cause, to the jurors unknown"
An lrishman named O'Conner was killed
in Minnesota by one Cochrsne, and about
bis dead body assembled Jury Of six men,
who rendered the following verdict, given
here without the original spelling
Martin OConner, here lying dead, came
to his death by shot from a gun. which
caused the blood to rush in torrents from
his body, SO that it was impossible for him
to live until we could hold an inquest"

The habitues of tie Laclede hotel, st.
Louis, have lively recollection VI the visit
which John L. sullivan paid to that hostel
ry some four years ago. He was there for
several days, and during his stay was the
observed Of all observers. A number Of
gentlemen did their best to induce him to
give an exhibition OF his wonderful
strength. This he declined to do, but at
length yielded to their solicitations and
performed feat which none who witness
ed it will ever forget.
Stepping to the bar, which Is OF hard
mahogany, he laid silver dollar on the
counter. He then raised his right hand
and brought his fist down upon the coin
with tremendous force. Upon raising his
hand it was seen tina. the coin was stamped
deep into the bar and could with difficulty
be extracted. Every letter and line OF the
device was reproduced in the hard wood
and remained plainly legible for two years,
in spite of the frequent scrubbing to which
it Was subjected.

ed with danger. A farmer residing near
the village, tired with the heat of the day
and with his work, recently laid himself
down to rest beneath the shade OF an oak
tree in a meadow. He was suddenly
aroused from his repose by sharp twinge
of pain in one OF his ears, the pain increas-
ing to such an extent that before the poor
fellow reached his home he was half beside
himself.
For several days he suffered the greatest
agony, which neither doctors nor the rem
edies they prescribed could allay, and the
patient was brought to such pass that he
thought he must die. 1t chanced, how.

Several stones were knocked off the cop.
ing of the Episcopal church during the
storm on Monday, and one OF them fell on
the roof and broke hole through the slat-
ing. The stones were knocked of by the
limbs OF tree. The vestry some time ago
resolved to cut down the trees about the
church, but some objection was made, and
so the nuisances were permitted to remain
to keep the church damp, and to break the
roof whenever there is wind enough to
blow the branches from the trees.
