ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH-1
PHoENIxyILLE, PA, Aug 1.-Mary
Bradley, a pretty 16-year-old daughter Of
Farmer Bradley, of Falls of French Greek,
recently lay in state of suspended anims-
ton for five days. At first she was pro-
nounced dead, but her family naturally
hoped otherwise and resolved to watch over
her until they were sure. In the course Of
time life-like tint overspread the girls
face, and then relays of watchers were sup
piled at the bedside night and day without
cessation. Finally on the afternoon OF the
fifth day the friends in the girls chamber
noticed her bosom heaye slightly and her
lips tremble. Next they heard her breathe
in long drawn sigh, and then saw her toss
her arms about and slowly open her eyes.
At first che was dazed, but gradually her
senses returned. She seemed merely to have
awakened from refreshing sleep.
GIVE had such a wonderful dream" she
said. 81 dreamed that had died and gone
to heaven. Oh, it was most beautiful Sweet
music, angel voices and happiness every
where All seemed so blissful. 1t was like
sitting in great cathedral and listening to
divine music with ones eyes shut. Angels
caressed me and foated about me- thought
I swan in the air. The lights were not
bright and dazzling, but soft and low. Oh,
I wish could have remained there always"
Miss Bradley has now fully recovered.
The case has greatly interested the doctors.
They ascribe her catalepsy to physical con-
ditions favorable to suspended animation.

Their Hesitation Makes . Dull Market In

Oats Quiet
CHICAGO-Talk of great crops Of cereals
on the floor to-day caused quite lu1uriant
growth to the local bear crop, but when
prices had declined under the weight Of the
conjectured years yield it was found that
1t was not all for sale. A short session here
and a holiday IN Liverpool predisposed the
Spectators to go slow. Trading was very
light, but there was nervous, unsettled
feeling, which kept the crowd close to the
trading pits while the session lasted.
The market for wheat started apparently
firm, but in reality weak, as shown by an
immediate tumble in December from $3.50,
the opening, to s9ssc. Having sustained the
loss referred to- the traders became shy Of
each other, both buyers and sellers became
scarce and the price almost stationary for
long time. Private dispatches from Paris
reported weakness and a decline there,
owing to improved weather. December
finally reached S9Ic, but later in the day the
news began to come in more favorable for
the friends of wheat. The market braced up
soon had relapse, and sold back to s93sc; re-
acted Hc, and at II O'Clock was a9ssc, against
s954c at the close yesterday.
Corn was about as dull as wheat and quite
1c ON bad weather in the West. The local re-
ceipts were about 80 cars less than expected,
but, with wheat weak and the weather in
the interior more favorable and a dull, mar
row trade, the market was inclined to weak
ness. The trade was scattering and without
any significance. Near the close, however,
the market made q rally of nearly 1e. Sep
tember opened at 561a95S7sc. sold to SEQ,
then Off to $3.50, reacted to 5714c, and at the
close was about 571so.
Oats were quiet. September rose to 10
premium over August. The local receipts
were about 80 cars under the estimate. Au-
gust sold from 275z@277sc, and at II was about
273Ic September sold from 275sc to N79o,
and at the close was 27s4c. May sold at 313
size.
Hog products were excessively dull and
lower. The receipts of live hogs were 1900
head below the estimate, but the prices at
stockyards were unchanged. The weakness
in wheat and the dullness in trade, however,
made weak market. September pork sold
from $ll 45 down to s11 40, then up to Sl1 4773,
eased off and closed about $l1 45. September
lard was dull, at Sc 6I1I@6 20, and at u
o'clock SO 67A was bid. September ribs sold
from Sc 9714 to S6 80, and closed at $6 921a.
The leading futures ranged rs follows, as
corrected by John NJ. Oakley & Co., 45 Sixth

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.J
LANCASTER, Pa, Aug. Three weeks
ago strange specimen of wild hog of re-
markably lean and supple body, covered
with long, white hair, with great tusks like
those of wild boar, and phenomenally
long legs, was captured in Landis Valley,
with great difficulty, after it had caused un-
told destruction Of crops on dozen farms in
the neighborhood. 1t would vault the tallest
fences with impunity, tramp down acres of
grain, devour early vegetables and ruin
whole potato patches in single night. It
was repeatedly discovered in the act of COM
mitting these depredations, but each time it
escaped with incredible speed, leaping over
fences and disappearing with such ease as to
excite the amazement Of farmers throughout
the whole country side.
1t was only after posse of Is men had
carefully surrounded it that the unknown
beast" was brought to bay. 1t was then
captured and exhibited in the village. Its
like was never seen before. Yesterday it
was liberated and chased by 90 mounted
men. After pursuit of 20 miles the beast
was run down. 1t died in short time from
sheer exhaustion.

PorTsTowN, PA, Aug. Mrs. Mary
Hastenstine, aged widow of veteran of the
War of 1872 and mother of soldier for the
Union, has become involved in q novel
legal tangle here through drawing two diff
ferent pensions from the Government at
the same time. For over half century she
has been receiving a liberal stipend as the
widow of John Hastenstine, who served in
the War of 1872, and in addition since 1879 she
has steadily drawn second pension as the
dependent mother of Eli Hastenstine, who
fought in the suppression of the Rebellion.
United States officials were here this week
looking up the facts In the case, and ascer-
tanned them to be as stated above, Mrs.
Hastenstine herself indeed admitting them.
She claims in her own defense that per-
sons whom she trusted informed her prior
to 1879 that she was entitled to two pen
sions, and that she followed their sugges-
tions. The pension officials, wishing to
deal leniently with her, have requested that
she refund to the Treasury some s., 900 sur
plusags within three weeks, otherwise the
case will be placed in the hands of q United
States Marshal for prosecution.
