A Corpse Held for Debt by n Kentucky
Undertaken.


CINCINNATI, July ga strange 6ghl
is in progress in Newport, KY, over a
corpse. The various turns OF this legal
squabble have resulted In number oi
new and interesting points being made.
The case involves the possession Of II
corpse for debt. While on n visit In
Newport the young son Of Thomas +.
Casseli, Il prominent negro lawyer Of
Memphis, was drowned. After several
days had elapsed tho body was recoy.
cred from the river.
This was on last Friday. The corpse
was taken caro- Of by Gus Menninger, an
undertaken. 1t was badly decomposed,
bnl he embalmed and dressed II, and
kept the corpse on leo ill the arrival Of

port on last Monday. Uassell sent
negro undertaken named Porter to get
the body and ship 1t. Menninger,re.
fused to ailow the corpse to leave his es.
tablshment without the payment Of his
charges, $50. 4
This amount Cassells considered cx-
horbitaut and refused to pay. lie went
before Squire Mclaughlin und repllev.
ined the corpse. Menninyer in return
sued for S35 and attempted to hold the
corpse for security. This is the perplex-
Ing part OF the caae. Cassells' attorney
argued that there ia no market value on
r corpse, and that there cannot bea lien
upon it for debt no more than a doctor
rould have on 4 live person for services
rendered.
Squire Mclaughlin was unable to find
any precedent upon which this claim
could be based, and he took the case un.
ler advisement. In the meantime the
corpse has been placed in vault under
.he charge Of constable, and cannot be
shipped TO Memphis for burial until a
lecision Is reached.

tho war provoked by San Salvador and

Colima were taken with tie consent OF
the Pacific Mail agent and the American
Minister, by virtue OF article II OF the

Mt. AfonRls, N. Y, July GA sIngu.
lar case OF pro:racted sleep is occupying
the attention Of physicians in this vicin..
ity. The person afflicted ID Mics Lizzie
Long, daughter Of Lewis Long, Of Mt.
Morris. She is twenty.six years old, is
of very robust frame and has always
enjoyed tolcrably good health, though
lately in something Of decline. Sun
day evening, July 13, Miss Long went
into the yard to see some young friends,
who were about to take a ride, and
while conversing with them suddenly
complained OF numbness OF her right
side and limbs, and OF ilrowsy feeling.
Medical aid was called and remedies ad.
ministered, when she sank into what
was supposed to be refreshing sleep.
Monday morning, when her physician,
DR.. J. NJ. Hagey, called, she had not
awakened aud could not be aroused,
which caused some alarm. DR.. Hagey
proceeded to make thorough and most
critical examination, by which he dis.
covered he had in hand pronounced
case Of catalepsy, accompanied in minor
degree with hemiplegia, or paralysis OF
the right side, including the legs and
arms, on his hands. All attempts to
arouse the patient to consciousness were
unavailing. The only time. since then
when any feeling was percep,ible or the
eyes could be made to partially open
would be when ice cold water was ap-
piled to the temples and wrists, and even
then the effect would not be 90 great as
to afford assurance that she recognized
anyone. tF|
A consultations Of physicians was held
Wednesday and DR.. Hagey's diagnosis
was pronounced correct. For several
days past Miss Long has lain upon her
bed, moving neither hand nor loot, but
breathing freely and naturally as though
asleep. She has had no nourishmefit ex.
cept what in liquid form is poured
into her mouth. Oace any liquid is ia
her mouth she swallows naturally and
without any effort, but although closely
watched makes no Sign Of pain or OF be-.
ing conscious of what she ia. doing OF

flesh since being taken down. Her pulse
remains about normal and her tempera-
ture is Slightly augmented. .I4rvFs t'lfg

Incorporated With IL Capital OF Ten MILL
Ion Dollars ut Camden, N. j.
PnlLAnELplIlA, July 27.-The Leake
Pneumatic Transportation Company has
been incorporated at Camden, N. j.,
with capital Of slO.OoO,00O. The stock
was quoted on the incorporation paper
at$100 share, or 100000, and the in.
corporators are Samuel r. Leake, Phil.
adelphin, 9S, 900 shares; Edward Vernon,
New York, 800 sharcs: John NJ. Brad.
ley, Henry l. Garfield and Douglass
Leake, all OF Philadelphia and each Of
them down for 500 shares. Tho object
set forth In the articles OF Incorporation
Is the transportation OF freight, mes.
chGndise and passengers by a pneumatic
tube. Most OF the business is 10 be- con.
ducted in New Jersey and the cities OF
New York and Philadelphia. Mr.. John
NJ. Bradley is one OF the firm Of tailors
on Broad street, Philadelphia. Mr..
Samuel F. Leake Is the patentce OF the
new invention. A friend OF the scheme
said the pneumatic tube will be twenty.
four inches Ia diameter and can be
switched of at any station, aud can be
run at speed OF 900 miles an hour.
The twenty.four.inch tube, it is said, is
only TO be starter, and they don't pro.
pose to travel as fast as 900 miles an
hour, but it is within the range Of what
the new concern can do.
Mr.. Leake has made application for
patents In foreign countries. and in time
hopes to have lines all over tho world.
He has six pateDts-two on the tubes,
two on the carriers and two Oh the re.
eeivers. 1t is also claimed the line can
run passengers or parcels up the side Of
! house, but the 24.inch tube is to be
Tor parcels. The incorporators claim to
% negotiating for terminals in New |
York and Philadelphia, aud when the
inc is in operation, they expect it will
Interfere with the railroads. Practical
abroad men say it 10 line on paper, to
DO run by wind.
