HER BODY DISSECTED.
Man Of Reputed Wealth Gives Hi
Wife's Corpse TO Science.

Man Of Reputed Wealth Gives His
Wife's Corpse TO Science.
The death Of Horace K. Flint Of Cramers
Hill, n. j., whose body was cremated al
the Germantown Crematory recently, has
brought to light a strange story. About
eight weeks ago Mr.. Flnt's wife died. She
was also supposed to have been cremated.
Subsequent developments, however. show
that, instead of occupying an urn at the
crematory, the body was dissected.
All this is the mere surprising because of
Mr.. Flint's reputed wealth. He was q re-
tired sewing machine dealer, but, although
a man OF means, is said 10 have been eX-
tremely penurious. For many years he has
protested great admiration for crema ton,
and when he came to Philadelphia and an
nounced that his wife was dead. and that he
was to have her body cremated, it occa-
stoned no surprise.
The funeral was held, but the friends did
not accompany the body away. An under
takers old dilapdated wagon drove off with
the remains. Seven weeks after his wife's
death occurred the husband was called to
the mysterious beyond. In pursuance Of
his request, arrangements were made to
have his BODY cremated Manager Horace
Keilig of the Germantown Cremat0ry was
requested to take charge, and to place the
ashes in an urn adjoining those of his wife.
Then cane to light the fact that lis wife
had never been cremated. An investiga-
ton was then instituted, which disclosed
the fact that the body of Mrs Flint, in
stead of having been cremateG, had gone to
the dSsecting- table. This investigation was
conducted by Superintendent Keilig and his
assistant, S. j. Ottinger.
Mr.. OttingeI, when seen about the matter.
said that he had discovered that Mr.. Flint,
Instead of coming to the crematory in re-
gard to his wife's body, had disposed of it
for dissection. This disposition was in
accordance with the wife'S desire, to the
effect that her remains should either be
dissected or remated.-Phladelph Rec

MONEY OR BLOOD.
Dan Hun Goes to Jail to Save His
Pagan Life.

Dan Hun had himself locked up in the
City Prison at 10 o'clock last night to save
his life. A matter of $40 Cinnamon were
after Dan Hun. They wanted either money
or blood, and, as Mr.. Hun had neither TO
spare, he immured himself in the bastile.
The trouble grew out of fishing trip to
Alaska last summer. Sun Wah Hing & Co.
of 726 Sacramento street of which Dan
Hun and Now Lung are partners, contracted
with J. w. Hume & Co. TO put up guam
titv of salmon. The Chinese frm employed
$40 men and sent them to Alaska under
John Quinn, a Chinese foreman.
On the 10th of October the gang got back
and Hume IL Co. paid the money due on the
contract. Now Lung left for parts un-
known and Dan Hun hid. There was no
one to pay the l40 hired hands 50 they went
on the warpath. The Six Companies held
several meetings. Last night they held an
ether, at which Mr.. Hun, who had suddenly
turned mp. was present
Mr.. Hun was ordered to pay the men A
matter Of $500 due them. He said he did
not have the money with him, but would
pay as sOOu as he could get it. When this
was communicated to- the 40 they set up
howl and called Mr.. Hun bad names and
threatened 10 kill lin. He was afraid to
leave the place and sent for the police.
Officers Gibson and Murphy responded.

TIRED OF LIFE.
Louise Hansen for the Second
Time Took Landanum.

Shortly after o'clock yesterday after
noon the patrol wagon dashed up Washing
ton street and stopped at the Receiving
Hospital. An uncon scOus woman was
lifted out of the vehicle and carried to the
Operating-table. 1t was another case of poi
soning.
Her husband. Christian Hansen, board
ing-bouse keeper at II Jackson street. fol-
lowed in a few moments, and said he had
entered the room occupied by himself and
his wife, Louise, a few minutes before, and
had found her unconscious, with an empty
laudanum bottle by her side.
The bottle. wien measured. proved to be
fve-drachm bottle, or one Grachm over
half an ounce. How much was in the bot
tie at the time the woman took it is not
known. The husband at first said she had
taken the drug to alleviate a uOothache.
The woman. when she was duly pumped
out. said she was tired of life, besides
which it was known that this was the sec
ond time she had been to the Receiving Hos
pital for the same trouble. Hansen then
admitted that she was tired of life on ac-
count of their int failure to lay aside a
hoard of bright silver dollars. 1t is be-
lieVed the woman will recover.

UNDER WATER.
Steamer Telephone Sunk at the Mouth OIL
The Willamette River.

PORTLAND fOregon) Jan. 5.-The steamer
Telephone of the Columbia Transportation
Line. while on her way to this city from
Astoria early this morning, ran on the
breakwater at the mouth of the Willamette
River. and is now lying at the bottom OF
the river with only the forward part of the
vessel above water. There were eighty-iye
messengers aboard. They were, with the
crew, all transit rred to the steamer Un-
dine, which passed the scene soon alter the
accident. and were brought to this city,
From the pilot, who had reached the city,
it is learned that g heavy fog was hanging
over the river at the time. just before the
steamer struck he realized his dangerous
position and stopped the vessel, but ewing
to the strong current she was carried down
the stream. Seeing this he started up the
stream again and had proceeded some dis
lance, when tie steamer rau aground on
the breakwateT, which. owing to the nigh
state of the river, was completely sub
merged.
The vessel soon began to fill and her stern
to slowly sink. The vessel is now COM
pletely under water, with the exception OF
the bow, which is supported ana held fast
by the breakwater. Had it not been for the
latter fact, the vessel would have sunk in
seventy feet of water. and the fate of the
passengers would have been an extremely
doubtful one. The amount of freight
aboard was small and did not exceed in
value $500.
II is impossible now to estimate the
amount Of damage. The steamer was val
ued al about 900. 1t is thought she can
be got off and raised without much difficulty
and expense.
The Telephone now rests on the break
water at an angle of twenty degrees and
leans toward the starbOard. the water
covers the stern up to the top of the upper
deck and extends to within thirty feet of
the bow.
At the time of the accident the paSsen-
gers we're all asleep. When awakened by
the shock they issued from the state-rOoms
in an orderly manner. No confusion arose.
and they were all conveyed to the river
bank, from whence they were taken by the
rescuing steamer 1t is stated that the Of
feials of the transportation company blame
the captain for trying 20 proceed when the
fog was so heavy that pilot could not see
the light at the mouth of the river. He
should have waited until the fog cleared.
The vessel is not insured.
