A Mixed UP Affair.


Sioux City, Iowa, Special, Feb. %. -
A curious mistake, by which MIN VINO
had fallen ten feet and lit on his head,,-
was treated for delrium tremens, while,
a man who had the delirium tremens
was treated for concussion Of the brain,
with fatal results in the case Of the
latter, hes occurred here, involving some
well known physicians and the county
coroner. Some two weeks ago a man
fell from the false work of the Pacific
Short Line bridge, in process of ..o'nl-2
struction, and struck on his head. The
ambulance was telephoneu ror. but before;
it had arrived the man had recovered
sufficiently to walk away. The ambu-
lance was driven away to answer an.
other call, and gathered in man with
Il bad case of lin jams Before it
went to the hospital, however, it was sent
for to convey the first man, who had be-
come unconscious. after walking Short
distance, to the hospital. The two men
were gathered in and unloaded at the hos
pital in due course When they arrived
there the driver made mistake and ex-
planned that the man who had fallen off
the bridge had a case of Jim jams,"
while the other man had conclusion of
he brain. The explanation was accepted,
and when the doctors arrived they pro-
cec'lcd to treat the patients on the sup
position that it was correct. The man
who had been struck on the head seemed
to thrive under the lin jam" treat
ment, and was soon discharged. The
other man, however, did not get along
well. and finally died.
The doctors made a post mortem OK
animation. and reported in proper form
that the man had died of conclusion Of
the brain. Then the coroner held an
inquest. and he also discovered that the
man died from the effects of blow
on the head, caused by a fall from a ~cer-
tain bridge. The verdict eXonerated the
bridge company from all blame in con-
nection with the affair. The man was
about to be buried under the wrong name,
and cntcrpriSing law firms were already
hunting for his relatives to work up /:
damage suit. when the curiosity Of the
bridge company was aroused, an investi-
CATION was set on foot, and it was dis
covered that IL mistake had been made.
The man who had been pronounced the
victim of an accident on the bridge.
proved to be the one who had delirium

Two Reported Agreements I'm Con-

statement that an agreement has Oeen
reached between Messrs. Holman and
Hatch, whereby the anticipation bill will
be taken up and the Sherman amend
ment to the sundry civil bill disposed OF
by means Of cloture, Mr.. Hatch will aid
Mr.. Holman in cloture on the sherman
amendment and Mr.. Sherman will vote his
friends to aid Mr.. Hatch III taking up the
anti-option bill. Mr.. Hatch, however, de-
clares that no such an agreement has been
made. Another agreement Is rumOred winch
makes it probable that there will be no
bond amendment, when the sundry civil bin
comes up for action on the aneildmentS
made by the senate and that the Dill VIII
be quickly sent to conference without pre-
liminary fight. Mr.. Holman, who will be
the leading member of the house conference
committee, and Mr.. Bland, the Lead OF
the free silver Democrats, have reached an
agreement that the bill shall be sent to
conference without the house first consid-
cring in committee Of the whole ana act
ing on the same amendments. 1t Is under.
stood that the house con1erees will stand
trim against the sherman bond amendment,
and that when the conference reports come
back there shall then be Il vote on this
amendment by the house; The silver men
say that they can make their nsnt tnen, II
the senate SHOULD refuse to yield. and that
by Il vote in advance Of the conference it
might happen that the bill would go into
conference with the house cOncurring Ill the
senate bond amendment.
Mr.. Holman said that he had not entered
into any agreement with reference to the
anti-option bill The only understanding
was that the sunury civil bill should be
permitted to 20 to conference as whole.
and that when the conference reported full
opportunity should be given for the house
to debate and express its will on the Sher-
man bond am" ldment. Mr.. Holman and
MIR. Sayers will be the Democratic con-
ferecs, and both have expressed them
selves as opposed to the senate amendment.
