CHICAGO has another case of suspended
animation and very curious one.
Miss Wilhelmina Stahl, aged q years,
died a week ago ofrhoumatism of the heart.
When the day for the funeral arrived, the
body showed no signs OF decomposition,
the lips remained red, the checks were
flushed and there was no pallor of the
body. The girl had once before gone into II
trance In Germany, and the mother believed
that II was another trance. The body was
put into bed and artificial heat applied, and
physicians were called in. The looking
glass was tried, artificial respiration and
artificial abdominal pressure were applied
without result. Finally, tho tibial artery
was opened and then completely severed,
but not drop of blood flowed, showing
conclusiyely that the girl was dead. The
mother was not convinced, and the body
remains unburied, and the efforts ut resus-
citation continue"
The result of this curious case will be
watched with interest.

Saturday morning the town of Wealth
erly was the scene of an atrocious mur-
der, the victim of which was Sabilla
Walbert, wife of A. A. Walbert, who is
employed in the railroad shops at that
place. The man accused of the murder
is William Stangley, young man about
26 years, who for some time has been
boarding at Walbert's residence.
Mrs. Walbert was about .35 years of
age and was the mother of several chill
dren. Saturday morning everything was
all right, and the husband noticed moth
ing unusual After breakfast he kissed
his wife and went to his work. Soon
after the children left the house and the
wife and boarder were alone.
The details of the occurrence will
probably never be known, unless Stang
ley makes a confession of his crime.
When one of the children returned
shortly before noon she found guam
tity of blood upon the kitchen floor. A
further examination brought the child
to the body of her mother lying dead
upstairs. She had been shot through
the body, and the sight that presented
itself to the little girl was an awful one
She ran out in the widest alarm and at
the same time her father came home
1t needed but q slight investigation to
make the fact apparent that the boarder
was the party who did the shooting
He could not be found in the town and
officers were put on his trail. 1t was
learned at Black Creek Junction that he
had boarded train there that morning
Telegrams were at once sent to all the
stations down the line and in the after
noon he was arrested at Slatington,
and taken to Weatherly for hearing.
He was afterwards removed to Mauch
Chunk Jail to await trial.
Three weeks ago Stangley quarreled
with the woman and threatened to kill
her She had him arrested, but the
case was settled between them. 1t is
thought that this trouble was the cause
of the deed

Thursday was a bright and beautiful
day and the G. II. A. societies of the
Scranton Union celebrated the ninety
ninth anniversary of Father Mathews
birth in most befitting manner. The
parade of the first district at White
Haven was attended by all the societies
of Lower Luzerne, and over 1900 men
and boys took part in it. The several
organizations had their ranks well filed
and made very creditable display. In
the afternoon picnic was held at Trim
mer's Grove.
The second district paraded at Pittston,
and the third and fourth joined forces
at Scranton. At Plymouth and Pleasant
Valley commemorative parades of the
first anniversary of the Mud Run disas-
ter were held. At Pleasant Valley,
where "a of the victims lived, the SER
vices were very imposing. Business was
suspended, stores and dwellings being
draped in mourning. High Mass was
held at st. Mary's Church in the morn
ing. At the cemetery prayers were
offered for the souls of the dead, and the
graves were decorated. There were
nearly 1000 persons present.

In court on Saturday two suits were
commenced against Luzerne County of
peculiar nature. In one Thomas O.
Evans, assessor of Nanticoke, is the
plaintiff, and in the other Messrs. Diley
Sturdevant and Quick, assessors of
Wilkes-Barre, are the plaintiffs. In
both cases the cause of action is the
same. The plaintiffs claim that under
the law they are entitled to three cents
per name for every name on the assess
ment list handed in by them to the
county commissioners. Evans, who
handed in 2,432 names, claims $72.96,
and the Wilkes-Barre assessors, who
handed in 1902 names, claim $360.96.
They state that they have asked the
commissioners for the money but could
not get any.

agement and exceeded anything of this
character ever held in the opera house.
Although arrangements had been pro-
vided for large attendance, it was
found that there was deficiency in
some respects, particularly in that of the
handsome programmes, the supply of
which was exhausted early in the even
ing. At II o'clock 544 admission tickets
had been sold at the door and by mid
night there were fully 1900 people scat
tered through the ballroom and galleries
The manner in which this number of
people were cared for is creditable to the
various committees and managers The
grand march took place at $50 o'clock
and was led by Master of Ceremonies
Edward Doggett and Miss Ella Nc
Laughlin. One hundred and twenty
three couples followed the leaders
through the various evolutions and intri-
cacies of the march.
During the intermission the drawing
for gold watch or $50 in gold took place.

At Mauch Chunk last week decision
was handed down by Judge Dreher

At Mauch Chunk last week decision
was handed down by Judge Dreher
which NAV prove Of interest to boroughs
which levy a tax or license upon huck-
sters5 farmers, etc. The borough of
Lansford passed such an ordinance, and
Samuel Brode, a huckster, refused to
pay the license, in order that test could
be made of its legality. The case was
taken to court and the judge handed
down an opinion declaring said ordi-
nance invalid and void on the ground
that the borough could not discriminate
between the resident and nonresident
huckster or farmer. The judge said
"The general borough law of April 3,
1851, empowers the borough authorities
by ordinance to impose license fee or
tax upon hawkers, peddlers, butchers
and hucksters, but a clause excepting all
citizens of the borough from the opera
tions of such ordinance will make the
ordinance void because of discrimina-
tion."
The borough pays all the costs con-
nected with the case, and will probably
have to refund all the money collected
under this ordinance. Boroughs which
have discriminating laws had better not
enforce them.

A case of considerable interest to all
benevolent and secret societies was de-
cided at Reading this week. Jacob
Bright died recently after having been a
member of Montgomery Lodge of Odd
Fellows for 40 years, during which he
paid $3.50 and never drew sick benefits.
The charter of the lodge calls for 500
funeral benefits. Bright died without
leaving a widow or children. He had
been living with a niece. The lodge
contended that while under ordinary
circumstances 500 funeral benefits are
paid for deceased member, they were
not required, under the constitution and
bylaws of the society, to pay any funeral
benefits in this case, as such benefits are
to be paid only to the widow, children,
or dependent relatives" of the deceased
The lodge alleged that the niece was not
dependent on the deceased. Bright's
funeral cost SLY, and towards this the
lodge contributed $67. Suit was then
brought to recover the balance, $33.
The lodge resisted the claim on princi-
pie. Judgment was entered against the
lodge for $33 claimed.
