RuMoRs ABOUT AUSTIN coRBrNs PLANS


The fact that Austin Corbln has become al"
rector Of the Brooklyn Elevated Railroad Company
Is regarded as extremely significant, and 1t Is ex-
pected that the relations Of the Long Island
Railroad Company with the eievated lines or the
brooklyn company will become more intimate. one
result that Is likely to be secured will be the running
OF the elevated trains directly from the Bridge by
way OF Fifth-ave. and Thirty-sixth-st. and the
branch line OF the Prospect Park and Coney Island
Railroad AZ that point. TO Coney Island as MI
Corbin controls the latter line. Mr. Corbin Is also
expected to take direct interest in the construc-
ton OF the bridges over the East River In
which the leading capitalists Of the BROOKLYN
company are interested. Whether Mr.. Coroins new
relations will have any bearing upon the Efforts
OF the brighton Beach Railroad Company to con:
meet its line with the Kings County Elevated road
is uncertain. The Aldermen last year refused to
grant the requisite permission largely. II was DE-
Heved because the link required would cross the
Long Island Railroad tracks In A,lantic-ave. albeit
above grade The application will be renewed to
the new Board Of Aldermen 1t is in,inated that
the line OF the Brooklyn Elevated road may be
extended TO Jamaica and connected with the Long
island road there and the latter will svs up Its
Atlantc-ave. tracks, for which heavy rental has
to be- paid, to the Brooklyn traction Company.

just what every one who saw the test
wants to know.


Then another man, who was also big
and powerful, tried TO lift Mrs Abbott
while she stood on the scales. He
couldn't bulge her, although he lifted
hard enough to burst blood vessel and
did sacrifice several buttons. The more
he lifted the more Mrs. Abbott weighed
With the man lifting at least $50 pounds,
the scales showed that Mrs. Abbott
weighed 1856 pounds. Later on Mrs. Alb
bott placed DR.. Townsend on the scales
and told him TO lay his palms on hers.
She made his weight 2l0 pounds. Then
without moving her position she made
him weigh $50 pounds. At least four
sceptical men did the weighing
Mrs. Abbott told about the frightful
nervous attacks from which she su ers.
This, she thinks, comes from the noises
in her head. She placed e champagne
glass under her back hair. In the silence
came a sound like that heard in the re-
ceiver of a telephone when the bell is be-
ing rung at the other end. # was dis
tinct twenty feet away. Mrs. Abbott
says she will give $4,000 TO any one who
will cure those noises, and if people had
any idea of the suffering it caused her
they would understand that it would be
cheap a. the price.
Then came the last test A little chap
weighing about thirty pounds was placed
at the other end of the room. distance
of about thirty feet The boys sleeves
were rolled up and he was told to grasp
chair with his hands. Can YOU see
meP she as ed, very well, l can't see
you. Now don't you let that man raise
you from the 1oor. Keep your toes down"
That man tugged until the blood seemed
about to burst from his veins. He could
raise the child on his toes, but the toes
would not leave the floor. DR.. Frauenthal
tried. He could do no better. No man
there could lift the little chap free of the
floor.
After it was all over the doctors
gathered about Mrs. Abbott and talked it
over When they were asked q their
opinion they spoke as did DIR. Bailey:
Il can't explain it. There isn't any ex-
PLANTATION. You can't DOUBT the evidence
of your own senses, but you can't explain
it in any way. 1t simply is, and that is
all any one can say"

PECULIAR Pow-WoW.
The Animal Spirit Deivs of the
Mojane Indians.

moJane Indians.
The Needles, Cal, Eye publishes the
following account of the annual pow-wow
of the Indians of that place last week, in
honor of those who died during the pre-
ceding year:
Reaching the ground, after much hand
shaking and patting at each other, as
many as could do so squatted on the
ground under the shelter of the pole and
brush house, which was S0xl00 feet in
size. The chiefs and medicine men took a
position near the middle of the house and
addressed the multitude which at s
O'Clock must have numbered over 800
At times there were two, and sometimes
four and five, speaking at once, while
above il all was heard the wailing of hun
dreds, pitched in diScordant KEYS that
only natives can initiate.
While this was going on-and the wall
ing continued until sunset-a number of
old Indians were busy arranging the rods
used in the spirit drive which was to oc-
cur after sunset. Eight willow wands
some ten feet Ia length, were sharpened
at each end and feathers attached, each
feather representing one who had died
during the past year. Each of the rods
was il charge of chief mourner, and as
a featner-the quill of which had been
wrapped with red cloth and a streamer of
long string left with which to fasten it to
the rod-was handed in an outburst of
means proceeded from the relatives of
the deceased. About twenty-five feath-
efs were attached TO each of the rods.
from which il is seen that the deaths
during the past year we're $40.
AS the shades of might. fell, eight young
braves, dressed 10 only an undershirt and
breechclout, who acted as bearers TO the
rods, attended by two braves carving
hs,vr al III.
the spirit drive The two braves with
the bows and arrows wore immense head
coverings of feathers that reached far
down their backs. Also accompanying
these ten were two young sluaws The
eight rod-bearers occupied position in
the middle, the archers at either end, and
just behind the archers, or at their sides
the young squaws In front of them, as a
leader was an old buck, dressed in regu-
lation breechclout and carrying very
large bow and an immense culver full of
arrows; he also carried two arrows ia
his hand, ready for the foe.
After considerable exhorting by q med
icine man a peculiar wap-note by the
leader and yell by the braves with the
rods is sounded, an echo by an old squaw
stationed at some distance from the Start
is given. and they dash away abreast. A
run of about 200 feet and they turn about
another owl boot, a yell from the braves,
an echo from the old squaw and they race
back TO the starting point, near the
mourners. This chasing the spirits away
is repeated eight times, then the rods are
stuck in the ground. short rest is taken,
a talk is given by the medicine man in
gibOerish that is understood only BY the
medicine men themselves, an eXhortatiou
by the chief mourner. and then the spirit
chase is repeated. This was kept up all
night with only slight intermissions.

SOMETHING IN HIS NECK.
Twas a Piece of Steel From a Orr
oular Saw, and He Didn't Know 1t.
From the Galveston Daily News,


Orange, Tex, Sept. 17-On Monday,
Aug. q last, one of the inserted tooth
edger saws at the D. r. Wingate Lumber
Company's mill got into bad way, and
during the early morning of that day cast
several of the half-circle springs that
hold the teeth in. The men about the
edger were on the watch and kept TO one
side. William Litchfield, head edger at
the machine, had just walked up, and
while talking of the ugly behavior of that
particular saw, was Knocked down by
lick on his throat, just under the angle of
the right 1awbone, beneath his ear. The
cash was not more than half an inch in
circumference. The wound bled freely
for a few minutes, but by the time he
walked 400 yards TO the the drug store il
had ceased to bleed The cut was a
smooth one, and as there was not the
least sligo of the presence of any foreign
substance beneath the skin, the patient
was dismissed with a simple lotion with
which to battle the wound occasionally
A few days ago lump appeared on the
skin two inches below the the point first
injured and the attending physician
lanced it. This seemed to relieve him, but
last Saturday he began to realize that
there was hard substance just under
the skin, Immediately oyer his windpipe,
and to-day he came to Drs Hadra and
Rowson and told them there was some
thing in his neck. They made an in
cision and found piece of metal, but
being uncertain as to its shape they
stopped to ask the patient to describe it.
Litchfeld told the doctors he could not
give them an accurate des .ription, but 10
lust stop the bleeding a minute and he
would 20 to the mill and get one of them.
This was done and he marched off TO the
mill, nearly a quarter of a mile. and re-
turned in twenty minutes with a half
circle Of steel, half an inch wide and two
inches from point to point, thre-sixteenths
of an inch in thickness, and weighing
fully one ounce. The doctors began feel.
ing for the lost spring, and finally mapped
it out, cut in, and brought forth dupli-
cate TO the piece that Litchheld held in
his hand.
As soon as the operation was per-
formed and the incision dressed the
patient went home and got his dinner, but
he was in town this afternoon, looking
better and more cheerful than he had
at any time since the piece Of steel
forced its way into his neck.
