Found in u Pickling Vat.

CHICAGO, Feb. 15.-After an unceas-
ing search for over month Mrs Michael
Murray found the body of her husband
in the picking vat at the Rush medical
college. Jan. Murray was struck by a
Grand Trunk engine at street crossing
and taken to Mercy hospital, where he
died an hour later. 1t was not until
Jan. % that his wife could learn the
cause of his disappearance. That day
she identified his clothing at the hospital
Then began the search for the body
which the records showed was buried at
Dunning. The grave could not be found
however, and it became evident that
somebody had disposed of the remains.
AS a last resort, search of the medical
colleges was begun, which finally proved
successful. Mrs. Murray has placed the
matter in the hands of her lawyers, who
who say they will seek to prove that the
railroad company was instrumental in
an attempt to keep Murrays death IA
mystery.

THIS IS THE YEAR TO SEE
CHASMS

In the Luminary of Day-our Little
Earth Might BE Dropped Into an Umbra
without Making AN Impression in the
Penumbra.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1j.-Astronomer
are intensely interested just now in the
sun spot recently developed on the east
ern limit of the sun. BY means of "a
piece of smoked glass everybody may
observe this great cEasm on the suns
face and it will well repay observation
a warning must be given, however.
against the inexperienced use of an opera
glass In this connection, as the concen-
tratlon of the suns powerful rays is suffi-
Gent to crack the glass or burn the eyes.
Sun spots will probably be much
talked OF this year, as q spot period is
now approaching, and during maxi
mum the suns surface is hardly ever
free from spots. Sometimes as many as
forty or fifty will be visible at once.
while at a minimum not one will be
seen for weeks.
The spot period is about eleven years.
The last maximum was in 1Ss3-S4, but
it was year behind time. 1t has been
established that there is decided
connection between these violent
disturbances on the sun and
the so called magnetic storms on
earth. Such manifestations. for
example. as the gorgeous Aurora bore
ais. Some spots are vast cavities ON the
photosphore of the sun and it is yet I'M
certain whether they are caused by or
are the cause of eruptions on that in
tensely heated luminary. They are
usually found i'll two zones extend
ing from degrees to 40 degrees
of latitude north and south of the suns
equator and develop rapidly, lasting
comparatively but short time. from IL
few days to month or two One spot
was known to have lasted for over tif-
teen months, but that was an exception.
They are usually quite irregular in shape
and are composed of two parts, namely,
the umbra or black center, which is
dark because filed with cooler gases and
vapors which consequently absorb light
and the fringing gray penumbra, con-
sisting of long feathery filaments reach
ing toward the middle of the umbra and
usually very lovely in form. The diam
eter of an umbra varies from 500 to 1000
miles i'll small spot to tremendous rents
of $4,000 or 0,000 miles in large one
into which our little earth might be
dropped many times without making an
impression on the penumbra.

CORBETT WAS HERE.

A Small Audience Greets the Cham
pion at the Hyperion Theater
May Fight Both Mitchell and
Jackson.
James John Corbett, the champion
heavyweight pugilist of the world, arrived
in this city at S:15 O'Clock Last evening,
coming direct from Newark, N. j., where
he gave an exhibition at the state fair. He
was met at the depot by q committee and
driven to the New Haven houae, where he
registered in a large, bold hand. There
was big crowd in front of the hotel, all
eager to get glance at the champion.
Later in the evening he gave an exhibi-
ton at the Hyperion theater in the pres
once of an audience which only numbered
about 700 people. Fred Bullen of Bridge
port was master of ceremonies. The lead
ing attraction was preceded by we'll ar
ranged program of athletic sports. The
last event on the program was An exhibi-
ton of sparring between James ]. Corbett
and Jim DAILY. When Corbett appeared on
the stage he was greeted with applause
Corbett wore white tights and his belt was
made of small American flags. He boxed
three rounds with Daily, each very short.
The most noticeable feature of his boxing
is his quickness and ability to dodge.
Manager w. F. Brady in conversation
with q COURIER representative last evening
said that Corbstt was feeling very we'll,
but that his right arm troubled him some.
In speaking of another fight he said that
there was only two men who had claims on
Corbett, and they were Jackson, who had
fought with Corbett and the fight declared
draw, and Charley Mitchell, who is
champion of England. He will arrange a
fight with Mitchell if he comes to America,
and will put up sufficient money. Corbett
leaves this morning for Brooklyn.

DRAMATIC NOTES.

Clever ssTr1X,, Frixanza-The Young
Singer Whose Rapid Rise Aston.
ished New York IL Coming In
"Jupiter."
Miss Trixie Friganzs, the young woman
over whom the dudes that worship about
the shrine Of comic opera in New York
went wild during the past summer, is COM
ing to New Haven with Digby Bell and the
"Jupiter" company She is at present in
that interesting state of transition from
the successful delineator Of small parts to
the more pretentious position of ''one of
the principals" and naturally is the recipi
from her admirers across the footlights,
but from those redoubtable potentates in
the theatrical world, the managers. In
deed, Miss Friganza may be said to be the
only young woman of brilliant promise
which the summer season brought into any
degree of prominence in stsgeland, and it
was because of that sudden elevation and
frightening of her art which caused the
lively warfare for her possession between
Manager Prior of "Jupiter" and Manager
Harry Collins of the Dixey Opera company,
with whom she had q summer contract at
Palmer's theater.
Miss Friganzs, although still in her
twentieth year, has been on the stage for
four seasons. AS her name suggests, there
| is good old Spanish blood in her veins.
She began her stage career with q romance
| and ran away from her home in Cincinnati
to join Louis Harrison's "Pearl of Pekin"
| company, with which she travelled through
| out the west, and was instructed person
| ally by that clever comedian, who looked
upon the black-eyed girl of sixteen as his
ward. Bright, quick and ever open to i'm.
pressions, she progressed rapidly, and
when in the early part of the past summer
"Adonis" Dixey selected her to lead his
chorus in the revival of "The Mascot" he1
superiority over others who had been seer
in that picturesque role was recognized
Immediately and her reputation was as
defying chorus in harmony and precision
and won applause equally with Camille
D'Arville, Yolande Wallace, Flora Finlsy
son and other favorites of long standing
In person Miss Friganza is tall ant
active, with an exceedingly.fne figure ant
with her vivacious disposition, these fit he
peculiarly for boys parts, in which sh
intends to star at the expiration of he
present three years. contract. Her face i
delicate of feature, yet strong and self-re
liant, her complexion dark, as. the daugh
ters of the Castilian hills, among whicl
her mother was born. Her glossy blac
hair is always seen in short, crisp, csreles
ringlets which complete her similarity il
looks to Pauline Hall to such a strikin
degree, since that prima donna has grow
} slender again, that one is often mistake

in all its branches. She is almost as az

It's Tenth Anniver.arv,

The tenth anniversary of tho Young
Mems society of st. Paul's church took
place last night in the parish house. The
society was called to order by it's president,
E. @. Jones, aud after transacting Its
usual business a very interesting address
was given by the rector, Rev. Mr.. Lines,
who recently returned from Europe. He
spoke very intertainingly about life on
shipboard. There were about fifteen
ministers upon the vessel and the sailors
nicknamed them ''sky pilots" A very in
teresting portion of his talk was upon the
railroads and hotel accommodations. While
at Lancaster the elections were taking
place and the colors worn by the different
parties were yellow and blue. Mr.. Lines
feeling q patriotic interest in the Yale
Harvard boat race (the news of which had
just reached him) purchased bunch of blue
flowers, and pinned them upon his coat,
but on account of the angry looks cast at
him by the populace, this being q liberal
town, he was quickly induced to throw them
away.
After speaking for short time Mr.. Lines
invited us all to partake of an abundance
of Ice cream and cake, which was in wait
ing. The society was founded on st. Mat
thew's day, 1882.
The flower show of st. Paurs Sunday
school is held this evening in the parish
house.
