LIZARDS In HER STOMACH.
A Woman Who Says She Swallowed Them
Years Ago. =

NEW YORK, Feb. Mrs. Dora Miller
tells remarkable story in connection with
severe pains in her heart Her case has
also puzzled physicians who have attended
her. They claim that she is suffering from
indigestion, while Mrs. Miller is Just as
positive that her distress. is caused by sew
eral lizards which she swallowed 26 years
ago. According to her story, while very
young girl, she was engaged with her
parents in harvesting on their farm in Ger
many, when she went to spring to get
drink of water.
While quenching her thirst from the
brook she claims to have swallowed half
dozen small lizards. She was relieved of
four of the lizards by the application of
emetics. Unsuccessful attempts to remove
the others were made by physicians, who
were finally compelled to give up. She
came to America several years ago, and as
the reptiles began to give her severe trouble
she went to nearly every hospital in this
city and Brooklyn, but was unable to secure
anv relief. She was told to fast, which she
did, and went without food for two weeks
at time The lizards, however, refused to
be starved out and also resisted other efforts
to dislodge them. The pains recently have
become so intense that her screams have
been heard by neighbors throughout the en-
tire block around.

SPAIN AN IMPORTANT FACTOR.
A Rupture of Diplomatic Relations Some
thing to Be Feared by Franco.

Rupture of Diplomatic Relations Some
thing to Be Feared by France.
PARIS, Feb. 1.-The Spanish Minister,
the Due de Mandas, has formally and Of
ficially entered protest, on behalf OF the
Spanish Government, against the insinua-
tions of bad faith against the Spanish Min
istry, in regard to the commercial treaty
negotiations, which are attributed to NJ.
Ribot, the French Minister of Foreign Af-
fairs. 1t is rumored in this connection, that
should the French Government decline to
explain satisfactorily or disavow the alleged
utterances of M. Ribot, that the Spanish
Minister will leave Paris on an indefinite
leave of absence and that diplomatic rela-
tions between Spain and France will be
severed :.
The answer of the French Government is
awaited with considerable anxiety in diplo-
matte circles, for it is admitted that the
European situation is such that any serious
trouble between France and Spain will nee
essarily involve other countries in the dis
pute and that this may cause rupture of
peace in Europe.

A YOUNG MANS DISCOVERY.
He Finds a Glass of Medical Students Dis
secting His Fathers Corpse.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 1.-[SpeciaL ]-George
Williams arrived here from Chicago to-day
to secure the body of his father, James
Williams, who had been found by the au-
thorities in the dissecting room of local
medical college. The body was found Satur-
day, and although badly mutilated, the COL
lege people collected the pieces and sewed
them together as best they could When
the son went to the college this morning to
secure the body he was Mortified to find
that the work of dissection had been II,
sumed.
The corpse of old James Wilson was
fastened by the feet to couple of ropes
that swung from the ceiling. His white
head, bespattered with his own blood and
his face disfgured by the scalpel, was the
only part of his anatomy that touched the
table. About the corpses swung in midair
was group of students Several of them
had knives and were working on the body.
Young Williams, almost mad with grief and
horror, at once rushed forward, and, seizing
a blade that rested on the table, cut the
body of his father from its fastenings He
then removed it from the college amid the
grumblings of the students. The corpse was
taken to an undertaker's establishment,
whence it will be shipped to Chicago for
burial

Remarkable Rescue of q Moonshiner In
Georgia-His Mother and Sister Tear
Him Away From Deputy MnrshaIs and
Prevent His Being Shot.
ATLANTA, GA, Feb. 1.-[Special 1.-The
rescue of q revenue prisoner by his mother
and sister, and the sister deaf and dumb,
forms strange story. Deputy Marshals
Burrell and Reynolds arrived in Atlanta
to-day after big haul in Rabun. The
deputies raided three stills Seven men
were captured, four at one still and three at
another. These men were all at work, but
no one was found in the third still. Those
stills captured were 65-gallon copper ones
and were all destroyed by the deputies.
While on the way from the place of cap
ture to Gainesville Deputy Burrell followed
some distance behind Deputy REYNOLDS
Reynolds had four of the moonshiners in
charge, and Burrell had three. Two of Bur<
rell's prisoners were handcuffed together,
while the third, John Lowell, marched in
front of Burrell. Suddenly two women
sprang out from the bush. One was aged,
while the other appeared to be not over IS
wears old. They were the deaf and dumb
sister and the mother of young Lowell.
Mrs. Lowell quickly grasped Deputy
Burrell around the body, pinioning his arms
to his side. Seeing the timely aid that was
being rendered by the women, Lowell, who
was not handcuffed, broke and cut for the
woods. Reynolds shook Mrs Lowell off.
and would have fired at the retreating
moonshiner had not the deaf and dumb
sister sprung directly between them. The
young fellow.made good his escape, and the
women were allowed to depart. The
deputies continued their way to Gaines
vile, where five of the remaining prisoners
we're bound over.

COMSTOCK CALLED DOWN.
A UNITED STATES JUDGE GIVES HIM A
GREAT ROAST.

He Considers Lying and Fraud Far More
Reprehensiblc Than Selling Objection
able Literature-Strong Language From
the Bench.
MILWAUKEE, Feb 1.-[Special ]-"There
are some offenses worse than the circulation
of immoral literature. One of them is the
practice of fraud and lying, of which An
thony Comstock has apparently been guilty.
Mr.. Comstock may be able to reconcile his
conduct with the laws of God and of
morality, but this court cannot do so"
The United States Court room was crowded
as Judge Jenkins uttered the foregoing
words this morning, and there was an effort
on the part of the spectators to applaud. G.
n. Caspar, prominent Milwaukee book
seller, had pleaded guilty to sending OBJ
jectionable literature through the mail and
stood ready to receive his sentence. The
case against him was worked up by An
thony Comstock, who wrote to Casper un-
der an assumed name from Chimney Point,
vt. The correspondence covered period
of several months.
Comstock at first requested that some rare
old books be sent him. Caspar filled the
order and the correspondence continued,
Comstock gradually working himself into
the booksellers confidence. Finally, some
highly colored pictures were asked for and
received. These were sent by express.
This, however, did not suit Postofice In
spector Comstock, as of course the United
States laws had nothing to do with an
offense of that nature. Accordingly, he
wrote to. Caspar for more pic
lures, and said that the nearest
express office was at Port Henry,
New York, on the opposite shore of Lake
Champlain. 1t put him to great trouble
and considerable expense to obtain pack
ages from there, and he asked Caspar to
send the matter by mail. Caspar fell into
the trap, and Comstock caused his arrest.
This morning, in court, the book dealer
pleaded guilty to an offense against the
postal regulations Comstock's action in
leading the defendant into the commission
of crime was severely commented on by
the attorney for the defense, E. P. Villas,
a brother of the Senator. Before sentenc-
ing Caspar to pay fine OF 5000, Judge
Jenkins said further:
cannot approve the conduct of the Gov
ernment officer who has lured the defendant
into the commission OF crime. am aware
that such methods are often pursued i'll deal
ing with alleged criminals, but am not
willing to lend my assent to such doctrine.
criminals and enforce laws without resort
ing to dishonest practices they had better
resign their position. Mr.. Comstock is
known as very Jealous agent in
preventing the spread of immoral literature,
but in this case instead of appealing to State
law, which is ample for the emergency, he
has seen fit to assume the name of another
and lure the defendant into crime.

WAS SHE BURIED ALIVE?
A HASTY FUNERAL CAUSES EXCITE
MENT AT DUNKIRK, n. Y.

An Heiress Dies Suddenly and Is Buried
Without Permit-A Hasty Death Test
at the Grave-The Body to Be Ex-
humed to Satisfy the Community.
BUFFALO, Feb. Ii Special THE town
of Dunkirk is all agog over the story that
pretty 16-year-oid Frances Burke, heiress to
fortune, was buried alive there on Satur-
day. The young woman lived with her
parents on Roberts road. Her death was
quite sudden, and the burial took place
without a physicians certificate of death
being granted.
The young lady had been ill for some time
with pulmonary trouble, and on Friday
morning was taken with a coughing fit and
fell over apparently dead. The parents,
instead of calling a physician, made ar
rangements with Undertaken Kolb to take
charge of the remains and prepare them for
burial The mother of the girl protested,
saying that her daughter was not dead, but
owing to the fact that the priest who was to
conduct the funeral services wished to leave
the city Saturday afternoon the interment
took place that morning. The family
stated shortly before the burial the young
lady's body was covered with perspiration;
neither did the body become rigid, as is
usually the case.
AT the cemetery the mother requested
that the coffin lid be taken off for the pur-
pose of investigation: Mr.. Kolb granted
her request, but when needle and mirror
were produced to make final tests as to
whether the girl was dead the coffin Was
again closed and the undertaken refused to
reopen it.
Coroner Blood knew nothing of the affair
until Saturday, but he will take the matter
in hand. Mr.. Kolb said that he had a
burial certificate signed by Dr. J. w. Pond,
but the latter says that such is not the case.
The townspeople have created such a fuss
over the affair that tomorrow the girls
body will be disinterred for the purpose of
investigation.

REPUBLICANS COMING TOGETHER.
The Opportunity to Win in Louisiana Nor
Than Likely to Be Grasped.

The Opportunity to Win in Louisiana More
Than Likely to Be Grasped.
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 1.-TSpecial. 1.-The
Warmoth or Custom House wing of the Re-
publican party, which holds Its convention
in New Orleans February II, is showing it
self very weak in the country parishes, par
ticularly in North Louisiana. At the
parish convention just held in Shreveport
to elect delegates to the State Convention,
resolutions were adopted, with only few
dissenting votes, lndorsing Leonard, the
candidate for the other faction, for Gov
ernor and the entire State ticket nominated
at New Orleans on January II, and similar
resolutions are being adopted at most of the
other parish conventions or meetings in
North Louisiana
Meetings called in favor of the warmoth
faction and against Leonard, are all coming
out in favor of the latter and against a
division in the Republican ranks and the
nomination of two tickets. The chances in
favor of the restoration of harmony in the
party ranks have been greatly increased by
the action taken by these meetings, and it is
thought that the Republicans will come to-
gether in support Of single State ticket.
