By The Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 19.-Miss Mint
ger, the is year old daughter of Fred
erick s. Mintzer, West Philadelphia
shoe dealer died last night from
injuries caused by swallowing nail, three
years ago. Miss Mintzer, who was
a bright scholar, was taken i'll while
at school on Thursday last. She was re-
moved to her home, and Doctors Barrett
and Montgomery were summoned. They
were unable TO relieve her terrible suffer-
ings and came to the conclusion that
there was some obstruction, and had
made up their minds to hazard an
operation, before which the young
patient died. An autopsy resulted in the
discovery OF a nail two inches long i'm the
vermiform appendix. The young lady's
family then remembered that she had
swallowed nail.

one of the leading caterers of the county,

The display is not only attractive to the

DECISION SUSTAINED.
The Supreme Court Has Again Decided
Against Mr.. Severn.


The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
convened at Pittsburg yesterday, and
among the decisions handed down was
one confirming the decision of the Schuyl-
kill county court sustaining the quo
warranto proceedings to oust Mr.. Severn
from the Office of Controller of Schuylkill
county, on the ground that the Act of the
Legislature creating the office was un-
constitutional. The opinion in the case
is brief and substantially says that there
was no error in the Judgment Of the court
below.
Mr.. Severn was seen by HERHAD re-
porter to-day, but he had little to say.
He said the decision was not a surprise
and he was not prepared to say whether
or not any further steps in court would be
taken; that the case was entirely in the
hands of his lawyers, and he would be
guided by their Judgment
Information has been received from a
Pottsville source that one of Mr.. Severn's
lawyers, w. d. Seltzer, Esq, contemplates
asking for re-argument before the
Supreme Court. A bill providing for the
election of a Controller is being prepared
for presentation to the next Legislature.

A Cool Thief.

An unknown man walking up Main
street at about half past five o'clock last
evening stopped in front of Kehler's dry
goods store, and picked up a roll of dress
goods that was displayed. After ap-
parently examining it for moment or
two the man placed the roll under his
arm and with most deliberate step walked
around the corner and out East Lloyd
street. People who witnessed the act
were so dazzled by the audacity of the
man that the idea of intercepting him
never entered their minds. A young
man who was among the first to
recover his presence of mind ran into the
store and told the proprietor what had
happened. Mr.. Kehler started on a sprint
around the corner, but it was useless, the
man and roll were out of sight and have
not been seen since.

Origin OF the Diarnn-ld.

AS usual upon disputed points, specula-
tion has been busy about the origin of the
diamond, and a large number Of theories,
all more or less probablc, have bIen pro-
pounded to set the matter at rest. The
two most reasonable expositions arc per-
haps the explanations put forward by NJ.
Parrot and Baron Liebig. The former
scientist, who has laboriously investigated
the perplexing subject, Is OF the opinion
that the diamond arises from the opera
tion Of violent volcanic heat on small par
ticles Of carbon contained In the rock or
on a substance composedof large proper
ton Of carbon and a smaller quantity OF
hydrogen. BY this theory, as he conceives,
we are best able TO account for the cracks
and flaws so often noticed In the gem and
the frequent occurrence of included p2xti-
clos of black carbonaccous matter.
Baron Liebig, on the other hand, claims
the credit of Offering simple explanation
of the probable process which actually
takes place in the formation Of the dia-
mond. His contention is that science can
point TO no process capable OF accounting
for the origin and production Of diamonds,
except tho powers OF decay. If we sup
pose decay to proceed in liquid contain
ing carbon and hydrogen, then compound
with still more carbon must be formed,
and If the compound thus formed were IT.
self to undergo further decay the final re-
suit, says this eminent authority, must be
the separation OF carbon in q crystalline
form -Gentleman's Magazine.

The methods Of the lobby change. They
become more intricate and refined. But it
cannot be said that they improve from tho
moral point of Wow. Advance informa-
tion was wanted badly once of an expected
decision of the supreme court. 1t is a mat
ter of much pride as well Us of common
honesty on the part of tho court TO keep
secret the decisions until they are delivered
IN open court. But the lobby seldom fails
when it wants something very much. 1t
obtained the carefully guarded decision,
and by scheme which illustrates well
how utterly INSCRIPTIONS 1t still is To nc
complish its ends The decision books, of
which each justice has one, are closed with
locks. They are kept mt the justices
houses. The lobby employed a lady-ono
who passed as such in Washington society.
This person was on terms oj intimacy with
tho family of q member of the court. Un.
der instructions of the lobby she went TO

Why Cholera Kills.

When an adventurous scientist declared
that he had swallowed any amount of chol-
era cultures without injury, there was a
good deal Of incredulous head shaking, and
while the doubters could not really dispute
the statements made they insisted that
there must be something behind it all, for
If cholera bacilli were really themselves
and nobody else why didn't the man diep
And now it appears that 1t isn't the well
bred, properly conducted bacillus that does
the mischief, but a substance that they
manufacture from the contents OF tie hui
man interior where they take up their
abiding place The bacilli proceed to form
what is known as nittite, "A most deadly
poison. This substance is by the bacilli
generated from many vegetables, especially
cauliflower, lettuce, beets and turnips
Meat contains but limited amount of
convertible material; hence the prevailing
idea that vegetables are TO be eaten with
prudence during cholera seasons, while
meat in small quantities and Indian corn,
barley and the like are much safer articles
OF diet. 1t Is further asserted that there are
other bacteria found in the intestines OF men
and animals that are capable Of generating
nitritcs, but that the cholera bacillus pro-
duces over 40, OC0 times more than any other
creature. If there is no suitable substance
found by the cholera bacilli upon which 60
work, they form Tactic and other acids, but
these rarely cause serious ills They some
times give rise TO what is known as choler
inc, which frequently prevails to consid-
erable extent during epidemics Of cholera.
