KELLEY'S STRANGE CASE.
Has Recovered His Speech Agaio, After
Being Mute for Over Six
Months.

The following dispatch under n
Wilkes Barre date line came by AS
sociated Press last night:
one of the most wonderful and marvel
Gus rccovCries of the age comes from Mich
igan and it concerns young man who Is
well known in the Wyoming valley. Less
than year ago Fred Kelly, who resides
between Avoca, and MOosiC, and who was
n bartender at Brernan's saloon in this
city, was afflicted in "A peculiar manner.
He went to bed one night and on arising
the next morning he had lost his speech
entirely. He could hear plainly enough,
but he could not speak, try as he would.
He consulted the best of physicians and
was sent to the leading hospitals in New
York and Philadelphia, but all to no
avail. He was then taken to some hospi-
tai in Michigan, where, after five months
treatment, he has recovered his speech
and is improving right along. For four
days ne laid in a COmatose state like one
dead. He could neither hear nor see, net-
ther could be move muscle, or take food.
An operation was then performed upon
his throat and luckily ii proved success
full He began to improve at once and in
less than a day his sight and hearing re-
turned and likewise his speech. He arose
as though awakening from a dream and
has been steadily improving. He will re-
turn home in a few weeks.
Kelly it will be remembered came VI
from Pittston one night last winter ant

on LackaWanna avenue. He went tC

COPE is NOT A DEAD MAN.
He Is ENJOYING Life on His Mothers
Farm in Wuvrc County.

]. f. Cope, the Wilkes Barre and
Eastern railroad conductor, who left
his wife at PittstOn two weeks ago,
and then wrote a letter which set forth
that he intended to destroy himself
was alive and well last Saturday at his
mothers farm i'm Canaan, Wayne coun-
ty. The farm is a short distance from
Keiser's, this county. Cope after his
disappearance from home sent the fol-
lowing letter to his wife on April 20:
Dear Wife, will bid you goodbye.
and ! will never be found. My dues was
paid up to April 20, 1897 Apply Tor policy
You will find in trunk. Write TO mother
i can't Goodbye till we meet in hedy en-.
The policy referred to was one for
$1,000, held by Cope in the order of
Railway Conductors, to which Mrs.
Cope applied for aid under the belief
that her husband was dead She is
now living with her father at Clark S
Green. Cope was at his mothers farm
all last week, and no reason can be as
signed for the brutal deception he prac-
tced upon his WIFE His conduct is all
the harder to understand from the
fact that she Is soon to become a
mother. When Cope departed. he left
nothing to support Mrs. Cope and their
three children.

Gen. Weyler, but it is claimed here that a careful study of the question would show that result of an abolishment of that system would be to intensity the sufferings of the destitute people, most ly women and children, who have been gathered together near the towns held by the Spanish troops for nearly all the country homes and peasant huts have been destroyed and the soil of the coun- try has been-l laid bare. The Spanish au- thorities are seeking to solve the ques- ton to the best of ther ability. But 1t must be admitted that very little in this direction can be expected of the Spanish government, when it is remembered that the authorities are eight months in ar rears to the soldfery and experiencing the utmost difficulty in providing for armies in the field
 Under these circumstances there is only one way to succor these destitute people and that is to appeal to the charitable women of Cuba for aid and to ask the Red Gross society to take the matter in charge. Some even go farther than this, and recommend asking help from the United States, saying that as it is from that country that the great aid comes to the insurgents they should also take care of those in need.

Of the total number of cases, 1.S47 were reported from Louisiana 1895 from lMississipp; TAO from Alabama 62 from Tennessee; 16 from Texas; from Illi- nois; from Georgia, and one each from Florida and Kentucky.
