BROOKLYN, Sept. 2s Baker Samuel
Thornton aud his sister-in-law, Eva Jewell,
the couple who were carried out to sea and
taken 10 Florida, have arrived here. They
still maintain that their original story IS
true, and practically defy contradiction.
They boldly relterate the tale Of the log
that drifted eighteen miles an hour against
wind and tide with Sam and Eva clinging
20 It; the rescue by Spanish vessel, whose
name they did not learn, and the landing
on an uuinhabited point Of the Florida
coast. It is all true, they say, and they
are satisfied 40 long as their friends believe
ia them.
Brother William il as determined as
ever to believe la the innocence Of Sam
and Eva, and he declared that the story
about them occupying the same berth In
the train from New Orleans to Jackson
vile is a lie, pure and simple. Tho Nun
chausenesque Sam will not see any one, nor
will he give any message 70 callers. He
leaves his lsrother William to say that
Sam has nothing TO say. although up 70
yesterday the burden OF Williams song
was; "Wait till Sam comes home. He viii
explain everything" Now that Sam is
home there il no explaining,
t"There is no explanation to be made, y
said William. "There il no statement for
the newspapers and there will be none.

That the true story Of the trip has not
been told IS certain A few persons living

THE EXPOSITION 4 PRIVATE AFFAIR.

Concerning the Worlds Fair

Acting Secretary Grants odd Decision
Concerning the worlds Fair.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2s. by recent rul-
ing Acting Secretary Grant, by inference,
held that the Worlds Columbian exposi-
tion is private and not a national affair.
If Assistant Secretary Grant is correct il
raises the question with same people here
how congress came to decide the location
of the exposition, by what authority the
president named the commissioners and
why Secretary Foster has been paying out
moneys TO the government fair commits
sioners who went abroad in the interest Of
the exposition. Assistant Secretary Grants
decision came about In this way:
There has been some complaint that the
buildings erected were not safe, and the
Chicago people assert that this complaint
came from New York. In order to dis
pose effectually Of all these stories the
commissioners asked the secretary OF war
TO detail corps of engineers to inspect the
buildings
In replying to the request Secretary
Grant stated that section l pa Of the re-
vised statutes forbade army officers from
performing work Of any kind for private
persons or corporations, and for this rea-
son be was compelled to decline.

SHE sHeos HEa BONES.
Strange Story Told by Physician 1
Tennessee.

Strange Story Told by Physician IN
Tennessee.
BRISTOL, Tenn, Sept. 2S.-Dr. b. i.
Bell, OF Parrotsyille, Tenn, read before
the East Tennessee Medical society paper
on wonderful case of exfoliation, or the
election of bones from the human body.
The victim of the peculiar disease is a lady
named Sarah Heas, seyenty-one years OF
age, residing in Caney Branch About
twenty-one years ago the doctor was first
called to his patient, and since that time
he has given her ailment close attention.
During all these years more than six
hundred bones have been expelled from
different parts of Miss Heas' body. This
exfoliation, DR.. Bell said, had taken
place usually without pain or inhamma-
tion, and soon after the election Of the
bones the sores would quickly heal up and
nothing more would be noticed till an
other batch Of bones would start ont.
The disease first began ON the index
finger of the left hand. Every bone in
that hand disappeared and new ones took
their place The next member Of the body
attacked was the arm. Then the shoulder
blade and then the lower jaw bone. Some
of the bones worked out through the
throat and others penetrated the ear.
The doctor said the process worked s.
| rapidly that he had sat near the patien
many times and watched the bones as the.
| came out without any assistance whateve
except that Of nature itself Some OF then
were six inches ia length and one inch il
diameter, while others were smaller. They
were OF every conceivable shape. WheE
the doctor presented them to the fraternity
for examination the display resembled th,
contents OF an unearthed coffin. Few o.
those present believed that the bones were
human homes
