His Death Occurred Sunday at Monterey
A Strange Case.

A Strange Case.
MONTEREY, Cal, May 6.-The death
in this city of William Tibbets ended
a case which is almost without a par
allel in medical history. The deceased
was a sufferer from dropsy, but the
popularity is that he was in state of
partial petrification. His body was as
rigid as stone. The pricking of a
needle made no indentation in the
flesh and all power of sensation had
disappeare d. Mr.. Tibbets was taken
to the German hospital in San Fran
cisco, and nine physicians made close
examinations and held many consul
tations to discover the identity of the
strange ailment. No relief could be
given the sufferer, and two weeks ago
he was brought home to die. The end
came Sunday. A post-morten exami-
nation was made, and it was found that
the only organs which were in healthy
condition were the kidneys. The de-
ceased was a pioneer resident of this
city and was &c years of age.

Stuart Cam That Amount.

DR.. Il. ii. ThrOOp Refuses TO Pay Marion
Stuart Cam That Amount.
A suit to recover sS,173 with interest
from Aug. /. 1895, was begun in the
office of Prothonotary Pryor Saturday
by Marion Stuart Cam against DR.. T.
II. Throop. Attorney f. C. Newcomb
represents the plaintiff. The basis of
the suit is summed up as follows:
''The plaintiff Is by profession n
journalist and general writer. The de-
fendant is a capitalist and formerly n
physician by profession who has lived
upwards of half a century in the city
OF Scranton. in said county. About the
month of January, 1894, the defendant
was desirous of writing and publishing
for sale his biograp ply or memoirs, and
being well acquainted with the plaintiff
and familiar with his literary ability
engaged his services to write and re-
duce to proper readable shape said
biography or memoirs, and contracted,
promised and agreed to and with the
plaintiff to pay him for said services, as
his compensation. at the standard rate
for what is known to the literary world
as magazine work, to w.t. the sum of
$40 per page"
The book is the one titled "a Half
Century In Scranton" and contains 366
pages. Mr. Cam has been paid S4S7 on
account, leaving balance of SO. 173,
for which amount he brings the suit.
DIR. Throops version of the matter
is that he engaged Mr.. Cam at $3.50 a
day to dress up the memoirs and ar
range them: and that Mr.. Cam was
very irregular in his work. dragging
along for eighteen months what should
have been accomplished in three or four
months.
The plaintiff insists that the editors
Of Harper's. Scribner's and the Cen
tury magazines will be put on the wit
ness stand when the case comes to
trial to show that $40 a page is con-
sidered very reasonable rates for book
work.
