Manufacturing q Nose.
From the NeW York World.

Mrs r. E. Hoffman Of No SO Wanjer street.
Brooklyn, lost her nose some years ago through
disease. which ate away the bone that formed
the bridge. causing the organ to gradually sink
beneath the level of the face, until the most
frightful Disagreement had resulted. cavity.
marked at its lower extremity by the shrunken
nostrils, supplied the place of the once quite
prominent nose. Mrs. Hoffman is about 40
years old, and not satisfied with a rubber sub
stitute for the original nose, allowed Dr. F. l..
Tetamore of the Long Island college hospital to
operate on her yesterday to make new one.
He raised the sunken skin that once covered
the woman's nose, and divided 1T lengthwise.
From a live chicken the surgeon then re-
moved the breast bone, leaving on the
tender oartilaginous filament and perios-
teum. These latter he sewed to the naked
flesh of the nose, and over the bone he drew a
portion of the periosteum cut from the fore
head of the woman. DIR. Tetamore asserts he
has two chances of success. Using the breast
bone Of a fowl furnished the proper shape of
bone for bridge for the nose. It had never
before been tried, and he felt uncertain if it
would adhere, and remain live bone and tissue.
If it did not its removal would not disarrange
the processes that might go on for nose
without it. From the periosteum of the fore
head he expected bone to develop, which. il
added to that supplied by the chicken bone
would give the woman a rather large Roman
nose, or, IL not, would in time be sufficient to
sustain the flesh above il. Two months would
show for sure the result of the experiment, DIR.

A Pittsburg Story.

The story that is being circulated that
Krupp, the great Prussian gun maker, is
about to remove his entire plant from
Essen, Germany. to Pittsburg, Pa, is SO
remarkable that it will hardly be believed
until it is confirmed. It now rests upon the
authority of a couple of Pittsburg lawyers,
who say that they have been commissioned
by Krupp to purchase site. which in
cludes about five miles of river front at
Pittsburg, for the Krupp works.
But If Krupp really intends to transfer
his immense works to this country, why
should he select site for them at Pitts
burg9 Why doesn't he select a site in the
iron fields of the south-at Birmingham or
Chattanooga Plttsburg is losing her SUI
premacy as the center of an iron producing
region. In fact Alabama iron now finds a
market in Pennsylvania.
The chances are, however, that Krupp is
not going to abandon Germany. The ex-
pense of transferring his plant to this coun-
try would be too great, and, besides. his
business is in a very Furnishing condition
1t is true that he is in considerable danger
OF having his immense works DESTROYED.
There is no certainty that Germany will re-
main at peace for another year, and hos
tile army might reach Essen. But, even If
the works should be partly, or wholly,
destroyed by an invading force, would it
not cost less to put the plant in good condi-
tion again than it would to bring it to this
country and put it into order for operating
1t may be that Krupp intends to estab-
lish branch of his works in Pittsburg.
There would be nothing very remarkable
in his doing that. Indeed, it would be G.
very reasonable undertaking. but that he
proposes to bring his Essen plant here seems
hardly probable

The Render Murderers.

The notorious Mrs Bender, and her
daughter Kate, have been caught, and are
on their way to Labstte county, Kan. the
scene Of their many crimes. They were
discovered at Niles, Mich. Mrs. Bender
was living under the name of Mrs. Monroe,
and the daughter was known as Mrs Sarah
E. Davis. Mrs. Bender resisted arrest, and
declared that she would not 90 back TO
Kansas. The officers very quickly caused
her to change her mind. The daughter,
Kate, declared that she was not the Kate
the officers wanted. She was fully recog-
nized, however. and finally made some
damaging statements against her mother.
The crimes with which these women are
charged were committed in 1873 in frame
house that stood on the highway in Labette
county, Kansas. The house was upon the
open pairie. and was far removed from any
other dwelling. The Bender family oc-
cupied it. A sign was displayed from it
announcing to travellers that they could be
accommodated with meals and lodging In
1873, there were very few people In that
part of Kansas, but great many travellers
passed the Bender house on their way to
consisted Of three persons, the old man
Bender, his wife, and his daughter Kate.
In the early part of 1878 a brother of
Senator York, of Kansas, started for one
of the southern counties. He did not reach
his destination, and Senator York began an
investigation of his whereabouts. He was
traced as far as the house of the Blenders.
The Bender family denied having seen him.
Senator York began to suspect that he had
been murdered, and determined to search
the Bender premises. The Benders became
alarmed and fed while Senator York was
away seeking assistance.
A search of the Bender premises resulted
in startling revelations. Not only were the
remains of the brother of Senator York
found buried in the garden, but also the re-
mains of quite a large number of other
persons. all Of whom, it appeared from the
examination of the bodies, had been muir
dered. The way the Blenders dealt with
their victims was this: They murdered only
travellers who were alone, and who,
they had reason to think, carried
a good deal of money. Each victim at
meal time was so placed that his back was
close to light quilt that was suspended
from the ceiling. Behind this quilt old
man Bender stood with big club, and when
a favorable opportunity presented itself he
struck the unsuspecting guest terrible
blow on the back of the head. The guest
was knocked senseless, if not killed. He
was at once dropped through trap-door
into the cellar, and there knife was driven
through his heart. The body was then
robbed, and at night was carried to the
garden and buried.
The discoveries made at the house of the
Benders created sensation, not only in
Kansas but throughout the entire country.
The Blenders were vigorously pursued, and
it is said that old man Bender was caught
in the Indian territory and shot. The
women escaped, and all trace of them was
lost until they were discovered the other
day in Michigan. Doubtless it will not be
difficult to get sufficient evidence to hang
them.

The statement the other. day that man
FAMED Levernier had just been paid 1898
for taking part in The capture of ex-Pfesi-
dent Jefferson Davis brings out the fact
that there are yet four people who took
part in that capture who have not been
paid by the government. Congress did not
appropriate the money offered as a reward
until three years after Mr.. Davis was cap
tured, and in the mean time claimants came
forward by the score, many of whom had
not the slightest connection with the mat
ter. 1t was very difficult to tell who was,
and who was not entitled to be paid, but a
list was finally completed, and it comprised
$50 persons. Gen. Wilson and his three
subordinates received SIS, 200 each, captains
received 81, 2S1, lieutenants S976, non-com-
missioned officers $402, and privates $685.
Nearly all of the claims were paid soon
after the list was made out, but Levernier
did not know until recently that lis name
was on the list. and the four who have not
been paid are supposed to be ignorant OF
the fact that their names are on it, or they
may be dead. The government does not
notify its creditors that they have a claim
agaihstit.
