DIR. III. {. Woop, of the University hos
pital, Philadelphia, has just cured a man
who would have been fine game for tho
faith cure and Christian science frauds.
The patient, who was subject 10 hystcria.
had become imbued with the idea that his
lower limbs were paralyzed. So persistent
ly did he urge this belief that his friends
had him removed To a hospital, whore ho
remained six months. At the end of tha,
time he was turned out rs incurable.
He had influential friends who af,er
great trouble secured his admission 10 the
University hospital. DIR. Wood examined
him and concluding that he was a first
class fraud determined upon a vigorous
treatment. He lectured ON the case before
his class in nervous diseases /" lie pre-
pared Mr.. Patient for an electric bath. A
large copper boiler was filled with water
and charged with electricity. The patient
was seated and told To put his feet in the
boiler, when, presto, with a yell he
jumped out Of his chair into tho middle of
the floor and executed in the most approved
style regular Hindoo waltz. After some
persuasion he induced the patient TO take a
seat again. The seat of the chair was zinc
and another charge of electricity was
given and another waltz resulted. The
cure was as complete as the mans dis
comfiture and he lost no time in escaping
to his ward amid the laughter of the stu
dents.

thus be accounted for. The true cause of con

A New Man to Keep the Time-The
Rush Of Applicants.

Public Printer Palmer to-day appointed
Thos. J. LASER, of New Hampshire, as chief
time clerk at the government printing Office,
vice Jas. Teale, resigned. Mr.. LASER en-
tered upon his task of chief time
keeping to-day. He has been q newspaper
publisher in New Hampshire and has recently
been engaged here as private secretary to Sem
ator Chandler.
Mr.. Palmer's Office presented lively scene
to-day. There were always from three to
four visitors sitting in his room and
string of dozen or more wait
ing their turn in the corridor
outside. AS they came into the
Office the public printer listened
courteously to the statement each
had to make and took charge of the papers pre-
sented to him. Nearly all of the army of
visitors were applicants for office.
Many were women, who told
piteous tales % distress. Mr.. Palmer said to a
STAR reporter that all he could do was to give
hearing to the applicants, and take their
papers. Then when he is given q chance, he
said he will sift out the most needy and most
meritorious cases.

A Ferry Boat Collision,

PHILADELPHIA, May 15.-In a collision on the
delaware river between two ferry boats this
morning, half dozen people, mostly residents
of Camden, were injured.
The accident took place about half-past 6
O'clock near the south street dock, ON the Jer-
sey side of the river. The Kaighn's point boat,
Gen. Schultz, was coming into her dock
and the Gloucester boat Peerless was Just leav-
ing the adjoining dock. 1t is said that there
was new pilot on the Schultz. Just how
the accident happened is not yet known
but the boats came together with terrific
force. The overhang of the Schultz
was carried away, the railing scattered
as though made of toothpicks and part of the
ladies cabin smashed in. The boat was well
filed with passengers and there was panic.
1t is known that several people were injured,
but so far as learned, none seriously.
Among the injured are Mary Behver-
holtz. 4th and Atlantic avenue;
Minnie Springer and Annie Quimby and
Ophelia johnson, all of Camden. One or two

From Wall Street To-Day.

New YORK, May 10, IL a. m.-The stock
market was again quiet and listless this morn
ing, the fluctuations being extremely small,
except for a few shares, and the tone was
rather hesitating, although some stocks made
fractional advances. The opening was fairly
steady though Union Pacific, Omaha and Pa
nights prices, the other changes being entirely
insignificant. Oregon trans-contnental, New
England, Atchison, and Union Pacific were
the active shares, while st. Paul and Burling-
ton were comparatively quiet and the rest of
the list dull The tone of the dealings was
firm, however, and Missouri Pacific displayed
considerable strength, moving up fraction.
but New England was the leading stock and
advanced % per cent to 4535, but later in the
hour prices gave way again and Missouri Pa
cific retired below its opening price as did sew
eral others, Big -Four losing a. At IL O'Clock
the market was quiet and rather heavy gem
orally at about the opening prices.

One Way to Lay a Ghost.

From the Lewiston Journal.
"Bill skimmins buried his father in a most
unhandsome way very near his barn." said the
man at the other end of the table. ''The neigh
bors thought it was a shame and made a good
deal of talk about it. One of them thought he
would punish Bill by soaring him, and laid in
wait for him near his fathers grave on q dark
night.
"As Bill went by on his way from the barn
the man rose up as II from the tomb and ex-
claimed in ghostly voice. I'm your father,
Billr
"'Who said you warnt!' Bill answered Git
down thar inter yer hole whar yer belong.' and
he struck him across the face with a bride he
was carrying. such rap that the would-be
alarmist carried the scars for months"

ALL SIGNED IN ONE HAND.
Contracts for Star Route Mail Service
Suspended.

Second Assistant Postmaster General Whit
field has suspended action on q number of con-
tracts for star route mail service made under
the last letting and to 60 into effect on the
LIST Of July. The contractors are W. II.
Smith, c. ". Underwood, and J. r.
Pigg, Of Windsor, No., and 9. 8.
Chapel of Auburn, n. Y. They were bidders
on q number of small routes in the different
states throughout the Union, the total
value of the proposed contracts being
$1,000. Each contract is signed by
Ida E. Pickereu and J. N. Pickerell as witness
es, and the singular as well as the illegal
feature Is the fact that the names of the con-
tractor, the sureties and the witnesses are all
signed in one hand writing.
AN INVESTIGATION.
postal inspector was sent to Windsor. No,
to investigate. Before long he obtained q COM
plete confession from Ida Pickerell, one Of the
witnesses. She acknowledged that she had
signed some Of the names Of the contractors,
poth as principals and as sureties, and that she
had been paid to do so.
The law requires the name Of the contractors
witnesses.
The contractors were informed that their
contracts had been held up and came on to this
city and had interviews with Gen Whitfield
and Mr.. Tyner, the assistant attorney
general for the Post-ofice department.
They acknowledged that the signatures were
not autographs. but that powers of attorney
had been issued authorizing others to sign the
names.
LoosENEss IN ExEcUrINo CONTRACTS.
Gen. Whitfield, in talking about the matter
to-day. said that the case illustrated the loose
ness that had become prevalent in
executing contracts. These men had signed
nfhar shax had
thority to do so the evidences of such authority
ought to have been filed with the contracts
The matter is now in the hands of Judge
Tyner, whose report will be laid before the
PoStmaster-General 1t is thought that sue IA
disregard OF the law in making out the con-
tracts will be punished by declaring the con-
tract void and probably making new contracts
with the next lowest bidders

NEW YORK, May 15.-Editor Oswald Often
dorfer, Of the Stats Zeit,sg, arrived yesterday
on the steamship werra, after an absence of
hve months in Europe. In conversation last
night he said: Emperor William is suffering
from trouble in his head, which has made
him partially deaf, and fears are entertained
that 1t will become serious He spends large
part OF his time inspecting Germany's military
establishment, which is undoubtedly the finest
in the world. 1 saw soldiers everywhere, and
the subject OF the military was uppermost in
the minds of the people. Just at present
Germany Is changing its small arms for those
OF lighter caliber, but this is only postponing
the inevitable event Of war between France
and Germany. The people understand this.
and feel confident that they can give the
Frenchman a sound thrashine when the time
comes"

ports of committees on Sabbath schools,

firms constitute the association, of which fifty
are represented. President VIM. Hamilton oc-
cupied the chair. The committee of CINCINNATI
undertakers have presented complaint setting
forththat the undertakers of that city had agreed
to form an organization which would buy exclu-
sively of the National association, and that the
association had agreed to sell to no one out of
the local organization. One or two members
having withdrawn from the organization it has
been discovered that they were being supplied
directly with goods. The matter will be con-
sidered. The price-list will not be changed

Color Line i'm the Land Office.

Information was received to-day at the gen.
eral land Office that Rev. James
Townsend, of Richmond, Ind, the
colored clergyman who was recently
appointed recorder of the land Office will
reach the city tomorrow. AS recorder Mr.
Townsend will be chief of division where there
are number of ladies employed. There is
considerable anxiety to see Mr.. Townsend and
find out what sort of man he is. Some of the
employees have expressed the opinion in a
quiet way that colored man ought not to hold
that position; but the majority are waiting to
see the man before they make up their minds
on this point.
In speaking about objections which the en-
ployes might have to Mr.. Townsend on account
of his color, a land Office clerk to-day said to
STAR reporter that he did not think they
would lead to any rash steps on
the part of any of the clerks.
He said that he remembers that a clerk during
the last campaign asserted that if Mr. Cleve-
land was not elected the speaker would at once
resign government position. This clerk is
still in office" added the clerk, by way of
pointing the moral.
