A Mysterious Case.

Some years ago Zachariah Dodson,
colored, living at Fairyie~, near Mt:
Airy. deserted his wife and several
children and went 10 Baltimore 70
live. While there, be il said 70 have
married another woman, with whom
be bad lived until short time ago,
when he was taken sick and sent 10
the Maryland University Hospital,
Baltimore. On Thursday Of last week
he died, and his body was sent TO the
morgue. His wife, at Mt. Airy, was
notified Of the death and also that the
remains would be shipped 10 Mt. Airy
for burial. The deserted wife made
preparations for the funeral, but the
remains did not come. II was after
wards learned that by a mistake al the
morgue the body was shipped by the
Western Maryland Railroad 10 New
Windsor and taken to the colored
church at Fairview, for burial. Hear
ing Of this they went to the church,
where they found another woman,
who claimed TO be DodsOn's wife,
who lad accompanied the remains
from Baltimore. Preparations went on
for the burial until the coffin was being
lowered into the grave, when wife No.
] expressed desire 70 see her husband
once more. Wife No. and the Balti-
more friends objected and called at
tention to a sign on the box, do not
open" After some discussion, the coffin
was opened, and to the amazement o.
all the remains appeared 10 be those Of
a white man. After this discovery the
funeral was stopped and the body re-
turned to Baltimore The moTgue
keepers are now puzzled 10 know how
the mistake occurred and what has be-
come of Dodson's body. Dodson was
member of the True Reformers. and
his widow is entitled to S75 if his death
is assured to the officers Of the lodge.
The friends Of Dodson claim that his
body has been used for dissecting pur-
poses and another body substituted
and sent TO the morgue, while the hos
pital officials say the mistake was
made at the morgue.

again 10 peculiar danger OF some por-

in playing in the dirt she scratched the

the soil is full OF these bacilli and that
they caused several deaths which fol-

case of the little girl her finger nails
contained the germ, which when

Brooklyn departments of health, says the
existence of the germ of tetanus has
been noted for several years, more par
ticularly in the east and southern tiers
of Long Island. He adds: Suffolk
county, believe, has the reputation Of

past three years, in Brooklyn, there has
