MRS. SOHINDELER STILL UNBDRIED
Her Body Held Pending tho Action
of Judge Lipplncott.

The body of Mrs. Mary SCHNEIDER. wife
of DR.. Theodore SCHNEIDER, Of No. Sl6
Hudson street. Hoboken, on which an
autopsy was performed Wednesday to
ascertain the cause of death, is still at
volk's morgue. Undertaken Volk said
that the funeral would probably take
place tomorrow providing County Ply
stefan Converse gave his consent. AS
the autopsy did not develop any suspic-
ious circumstances in connection with
the woman's death, Mr.. Volk's said he
thought DR.. Converse wou not hold the
body any longer.
DR.. SCHNEIDER n his daughter are
still living at their home and are very
indignant over the sensational stories
about Mrs. ~schindeler's death. DR.. Con
verse also says the stories are out
ragious and tend to injure DR.. SCHNEIDER.
Whether or not Justice Lippincott would
order an analysis of the contents of the
stomach and other organs DR.. Converse
said he did not know. He believed that
the Investigations made j. the autopsy
fully explained everything.

Cure for weak Nerves..

The natural antidote for weak nerves
is the healthy development of the mus
icles-that is, of the general muscular
system, instead of special muscles only.
This car only be done by active exercise
In the open air, which thoroughly oxy
genates the blood and wastes the mus
cular tissues, thus preparing them to
be r~eplenished from the food elements
of the blood. This constant waste n
rebuilding are vital processes hat meas
ure vitality and efficiency. When these
go on beautifully nervousness is never
present except by some fragrant abuse Of
the digestive functions, some unwise
drain Of a vital fluid or some ~exhausting
tension Of the mind. Therefore. steer
clear OF these and give proper attention
to the muscles, and will be
javoided.-Troy Times.

riage. She afterwards married Thomas
Job, and on the death of her mother the
chair was sent to her.

RECEIVED $4,000 VOLTS.
The Eject 1t Had ON an Electrica,
Engineer.

The following details of a recent cleo
trio accident are interesting, and may be
useful. On November 20 an electrical en-
gineer was standing on a chair ready
to move a reversing switch on the arc
lamp side of a rectifer for lighting a
series of sixty lamps 5000 voIts). He
casually placed a1is hand ON the raetal
cover of an ammeter (Which was IN series
with another sixty lamp circui) and,
turning to the left and leaning back to
make an observation (still standing ON
the chair. he placed his left hand on an
iron pillar.
Now, the ammeter case proved to be a
metallic contact (accidentaD with the
hight leads, and as the return wire was
..earthed" there played through the body
from hand to hand a current under a
matter of fact, the electro-motive force
tested between the points of contact by a
Kelvin electrostatic voltmeter proved ito
be $500. volts.
was that he found himself standing on
the floor, but has no clear idea as to
whether he jumed off or was knocked
off," The fore arm was drawn up close
to the chest" and the hands clenched
From a little above the elbow downward
he describes a feeling Of pulsation'' and
a violent beating in exact step with. the
a~lternators drumming ~eighty-three periods
per second). as
All power of movement below the elbow
was absolutely lost, but the arm at the
shoulder could be moved from the side.
The ~pulsations, although still retaining
their periodicity, soon became less violent,
and motor power returned SUCCESSFULLY
in the muscles that move the elbow, wrist
and fingers. In three minutes he felt
none the worse, There was no sensa-
tion of burning at the moment, but ten
minutes afterward the hand became pain
full, and examination showed a burn on
the tip of the left middle and ring fingers
and on the back of the right little and ring
fingers, with a scared line across: the low
er portion of the palm. There has been
no other effect excepting that he express
es himself as feeling 'tdecidedly better in
general health"
Which current did the body receive?
With the contracts named I estimate that
the resistance of the body might be 10000
ohms.-Lancet.
