Puzzles the Doctors,

Connecticut physicians are Just now
troubled over the singular case Of Miss
Belle Macarthur, a young Hawleyville wo-
man. She suffers from malady which
makes her dead to oil appearances. The
attacks come on without warning, ever
when she is in good general health, and
last for several days. She loses all physi.
cal control Of herself, and the only way
that signs of life can be detected is by
holding mirror to her lips to catch the
moisture of her respiration. A strange
feature of the case is that when she is in
this state her senses are rendered unusual
ly acute and she suffers most intensely a,
knowing what is going on and yet being
unable to express herself.

Harrison's Inaugural Address.

President elect Harrison is said to have
completed his inaugural address, and the
last paragraph was copied on the type
writer by Stenographer Tibbetts Monday
afternoon. Though it is still subject to
revision, there is little probability that
any material changes will be made, and it
is believed that the labor, SO far as his
sstenographer is concerned, is finished.
In preparing the address Harrison has die
tated paragraph at time, and when the
matter was written he revised it carefully
and then redictated the whole from the
revived copy,

The RAILROADS. Cry "rfands or"

long letter from President Perkins, Of the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, analyzing
the western railroad situation. He ridi-
cules tbs idea that subordinate officials nre
responsible for the frequent demoraliza-
tlon Of rates. II there 10 any blame to be
attached to the railroad managers, It be-

A Norfolk Crime,

DR.. E. A. Kelly, superintendent of the
Norfolk, Neb.. hospital for the insane,
was shot and dangerously wounded by
Michael Soulier and Albert Born on Mon
day the 1lth. Michael Soulier is broth
er Of Caroline Soulier, the girl who died
January IA. from an operation performed
by Drs. Kelly, Hasson and Bear for an
ovarian tumor. when the girl was preg-
nant. The intense feeling among her
friends at the physicians mistake has
grown ever since, and eliminated in the
shooting. DR.. kelly's wounds are serious,
but not necessarily fatal, though four
shots took effect in different parts of his
body. There is great excitement over the
affair. The assassins made no effort to
avoid arrest, and were placed in Jail.

The Salary Of an ElnnerOr,

In the lower house of the Prussian diet
on the 9th the emperor's civil list passed
second reading after debate, in which the
progressists emphatically protested against
increasing the imperial allowance by
3.500.000 marks. They had no difficulty
in proving that the wealth of the imperial
family is already enormous, the emperor
having at his disposal no. only his revenue
of 13,25O,0oo IL arks, but also other resources
from his family domains. The hofkam-
mer, which administers the domains, is
charged with the care Of the crown edifices,
forests and land, and the collection Of
rents. The farm lands are SO extensive rs
to require division into seventy seven
stewardships; each comprising number
of farms. The supporters Of the bill could
not show any necessity for an increase in
the imperial income. They rested their de-
maud upon the argument that as the en-
peror's functions and work were increasing
his revenue ought to be enlarged.

The shsrif Of Bucks county, Penn, on
the 9th sold ten fine farms, aggregating
nearly 1000 acres. During the present
winter season the sheriff has sold some
twenty other large farms, besides the farm
stock of twenty other farmers, all of whom
had failed. This condition Of things is
taken as an indication that farming no
longer pays as formerly. A similar state
Of affairs exists in other counties in that
portion of the state.

A Gentle Victory ut Ogden.

The Gentiles were successful in the mu-
the 1lth, the first victory over the Nor
mons IN the history of that city and in the
territory. The election is regarded as the
most important that has taken place there.
The city voted AS whole. and not by
wards. The Mormons, who had control of
affairs, early began a system of intimida-
tion by arresting Genties before they had
u chance to vote and hurrying them off to
Jail. The Gentle party notified the United
states marshal, who came to the city hall
and stopped all arrests until the voter had
chance to be passed upon by the judges
and deposit his ballot. After this the
election passed of quietly. Fred Keisle.

A London dispatch Of the 11th says:
The body Of woman concealed in .
wooden chest was discovered to o-day by the
police Of Dundee. The abdomen was
ripped open and the body otherwise mutt
lated. The chest was SO small that the
murderer had been compelled to squeeze
the body into It. The husband Of the
woman has been arrested Oil Suspicion of
being her murderer.
q A dispatch from Dundee says the mur-
derer OF the woman whose mutilated re-
mains were found in chest there too day
is w. H. Bury, husband Of tho victim.
Bury was resident Of Whitechapel, Lon
don, and his antece1ents, which have been

OF unconscious murcer mania. A post
mortem examination held on the body Of
the Dundee victim proved that the woman
had first been strangled and her body had
then been mutilated, the abdomen being
opened and the legs and arms twisted and
broken.
Bury says he left Whitechapel three
weeks ago. He refuses to say why he left
there, and acknowledges that he had no
business requiring his attention in Dun
dee. He says he and his wife drank
heavily last night, before retiring and that
he does not know how he got to bed Up
on awakening he found his wife lying upon
the floor with rope around her neck.
Actuated by a sudden mad impulse, for
which he cannot account. he seized knife
and slashed the body. Upon reason re-
turning he became alarmed and crushed
the body into the chest in which it was
found, thinking to fly and make his escape.
He found, .however, that he could not
leave his wife's remains, and he resolved
to inform the police.
The theory of the police officers is that
Bury's wife knew the facts connecting him
with the East End atrocities, and she took
him to Dundee in the hope of preventing a
a recurrence of his crimes.
