a SLEEPING WONDER.
Medical Men Puzzled over an Indi-

Medical Men Puzzled over an Indi-
ana Boys slumbers.
From the PHILADELPHIA Inquirer.
SEYMOUR, IND, Fob 15.--Six weeks ago
Jesse Streitt, boy Is years Of age, went to
sleep, and, in spite of all attempts to awaken
him, continued to slumber 80 consecutive
days and nights. He recovered from his
indisposition at that time and appeared to
be as well as usual, and nothing unusual
occurred with him until last Wednesday, at
7so'clock p. m. Jesse is prime favorite
with his neighbors, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Dahlenburg, and on that morning Mrs.
Dahlenburg invited Jesse to come over and
eat dinner with her, as she was going to
have roast chicken.
In high glee the little boy ran in and told
his mother that he was going to Mrs. Dab
| lenburg's 10 eat dinner the next dav. and
asked that a new shirt be made for him to
wear. This was made according to his
wishes, and, after he had put it away with
his other clothes ready for the next day, he
told his parents that he could not go to his
neighbours dinner the next day, for be was
sleepy, and was going to sleep and would
sleep long time. His father talked to him
and did everything in his power to keep
him awake, but it was of no avail. He
! dropped asleep and has since slumbered on,
| with no signs Of awakening.
Last night Justice A. T. Simons called at
the residence to see Jesse, and left there
| near IL o'clock. He told the parents he
could awaken him, and asked permission to
| try, which was readily granted. First he
put spoonful of cold water in his mouth,
which the boy finally swallowed with an
effort. Next cloth wet with cold water
was placed under the arms and in front of
hips to slightly shock the nerves. Then
the sleeper's body was raised to a sit
| ting posture. His eyelids opened
in front of the light. None of
| these experiments had the slightest
effect toward arousing him and Mr.. Simons
gave the matter up as total failure. This
is the third day of his present sleep. His
heart moves regularly, but not strongly,
and he breathes easily and softly. He does
| not move hand nor foot, but his mother
sees that he is turned over at intervals to
rest him. She also pours half teaspoonful
of sweet milk in his mouth occasionally,
but if he ever swallows any of it she does
not know it, as it runs out of his mouth
when he is turned over.

TWO OLD ENE xIEs EMBRACE.
A Dramatic Scene in the Markham
House Eotunde.
Special TO the Tribune of Rome.


Special 10 the Tribune of Rome.
ATLANTA, Feb. 14.-Something quite ont
of the usual daily experience was witnessed
in the rotunda last night.
Several Atlanta gentlemen were talking
with a number of Veteran Zouaves from
New Jersey, when people standing at a dis
tance were much surprised to see two men
of the group embracing each other in the
most affectionate manner 1t appeared to
be q fight at first glance, but they soon
found out that such was not the case. The
two men who acted as principals IN this dra-
matte scene were Gen. Drake of the Veteran
Zouaves and Capt. Frank NJ. Meyers of
Atlanta.
Capt. Myers then told the following
story: During the war l was placed in
charge of the marine hospital at Savannah.
which had been changed into prison for
federal officers Among my prisoners was
Capt. Drake, a capital fellow, even II he
was an enemy. He came TO me one day and
asked me for some lumber to make floors
for their tents and hunks, upon which they
could sleep. ! ordered several loads OF
lumber and furnished the men with
hatchets, hammers, saws and nails,
and they were soon busily at work
and in a few days all the tents were
nicely hoored. The camp was kept very
neat, and / remember to have shown
it TO the colonel as model place for federal
prisoners. The soil was very sandy, and
every day l noticed the men raking it from
one end to another. l concluded this was
done for exercise, and paid little attention
to it, but afterwards learned better. One
day an old COW was walking down the
street chewing her cud and contentedly
switching her tail. Suddenly she threw
her head TO one side, snorted and disap-
peared from the earth as completely as if
an earthquake had swallowed her up.
We made, an investigation, and found
that she had fallen into a tunnel that the
prisoners had been making from the camp
toward the outside. They would doubtless
have escaped had they not cut too close to
the surface and had the COW stayed on the
other side of the town. That man there
continued the captain, pointing to Gen
Drake, planned the escape and led the
tunneiers. They began work under house
and brought the sand out in
their blankets, scattering it broad
cast over the yard and keeping it
from notice by their constant raking. The
| floors in every one of the tents were gone,
the boys had used the lumber in making
supports for the sides of the tunnel" "Gen-
| eral !" said Capt. Meyers, after moments
| pause, "Id q done the same thing, and I'm
! mighty glad to grasp your hand as friend,

THE BOATS SEPARATE.
The boats lost sight of each other two
days after leaving the sinking vessel, by
reason of going in different directions. They
were about 1000 miles from the nearest
land, which was the Barbados. The mate
steered for that point, but the captain pre-
ferred to 60 south and has not yet been
heard from. The mate and his men were
picked up nine days after leaving the
vessel, having made 400 miles in the direc-
ton of the Barbados. The men had en-
dured great suffering before their rescue
and were very grateful to Capt. Massone
and his crew for their kindness to them.

In Ware county there are TIVE divisions
