LEG PULLED OUT AT THE SOCKET
Death came to John Barlow in one Of
Its most distressing forms when his leg
was torn out at the socket and his hip
crushed to pieces in Chester, Pa, on
Friday. He was a fireman at the Bea-
con Electric Light Company's works,
and while he and Samuel Foster, q
colored assistant, were shifting cars they
lost control of them and Barlow became
wedged between two cars. While suf.
fering intense agony he gave directions
how to get the wheel of his leg. Ser
geant Meeth, Of the police department,
succeeded in forcing the car back, when
it was found that Barlow's leg had been
torn from the socket and his hip bone
broken. In o few moments he was
dead from the shock and loss of blood.

IS YOUR MEMORY GoOD7

How interesting It is to think over the
past and what a blessed thing is memory
How 1t brings up the pleasures Of bygone
days and hides their unpleasantnessesT'
"You recall your childhood days, do
you not and wish they would returnf
You remember the pleasant associations,
while the unpleasant ones are forgotten.
Perhaps to your mind comes the face OF
som friend. 1t was once a pale, sad face.
1t showed marks Of pain, lines of care.
1t seemed to be looking into the hereafter,
the unknown future"
And then you recalled how hat face
frightened, how it recovered its rosy hue,
how it became a picture of happiness
and Joy"
do you remember these thinRsi Many
people do, and gladly tell how the health
returned, how happiness came back, how
the world seemed bright. They tell how
they were once weak, nerveless, perhaps in
pain, certainly unhappy. They tell Of
sleepless nights, restless days, untouched
food, unstrung nerves. And then they tell
how they became happy, healthy, and
strong once more"
You have heard It often in the past,
have you NOTE You have listened while
others described how they were cured Inc
kept in healthi You certainly can remem-
Der what it is that has 80 helped people in
America. II not, listen to the following
words of Mrs. H. E. Logan, a ~well-known
lady Of New York. She says:
"'I was i'll for over three years and en-
ployed some Of New York's best doctors.
Indeed l became so bad that I was swollen
with dropsy from head to foot. But l have
been restored to perfect health wholly
by means of Warmers Safe Cure. I am so
gratifed over my recovery that I feel that
l should like every one to know what this
grand remedy has lone for me-"
"Ah, now you remember. Now you re-
call how many people you have heard speak
in the same grateful manner. Now you
recollect how much you have been told
about this great Safe Cure. Now you are
ready to admit that memory is usually
pleasing, that the highest pleasure comes
from perfect health, and that this wonder.

prolong health than any other discovery
ever known in the entire history of the
whole world"

BERNSTEIN THE WINNER.
he Whips O'Donneii in Twenty Rounds n
Greenpotnt.

NE Whips O'Donneli In Twenty Rounds a
Greenpoint.
After twenty rounds of the fastest boxing that
has been witnessed In this vicinity for some
time, Joe Bernstein Of this city received the dc.
cision over Billy O'Donnell Of Memphis last
night at the Greenpoint Sporting Club. Joe
Ward OF Brooklyn was referee.
Two New York boys, Billy Barrett and George
Monroe. met in tho first bout OF ten rounds al
liz pounds. Both were in good shape and put
up q fast fight. Barrett was the harder hitter,
but Monroe got out OF many close corners by his
cleverness. The decision was a draw.
Charley Burns and Paul Kelley. both of this
city, furnished the sport for the second bout for
ten rounds. They were announced to weigh 1l6
pounds. but were many poun!s over that.
As 1t was. Burns was far heavier than his OPP
ponent. From the start 1t was q slug
cling match. little science being displayed
lighter Kelly could hit much harder than Burns,
and Charley perceptibly weakened under tho
up enough to make the verdict a draw.
Then came the. O'Donnell- Bernstien bout. II
was scheduled 4s for twenty rounds at catch
There was considerable betting on the result,
o,Donnell being the favorite.
Light sparrinR characterized the first round,
Bernstien doing the leading. The latter set q
fast pace in the second round, resorting to
BILLY used an excellent defence. however,
with the result that Bernstien's blows did little
damage. There was no let up in the third.
In the fourth O'Donnell ducked away from q
right-hand swing and got in a heavy left on the
body. He then rushed Bernstein to a corner
and staggered him with a straight left.
Bernstein more than evened matters in the
next round with a hard one on ODonnell's nose,
which made it bleed profusely.
The hot work began to tell in the sixth, sew
enth, and eighth rounds, and the men fought al
long range. The ninth was also tame, Bern.
stein doing the leading and O'Donnell coun.
tering.
Bernstein was putting up q great fight. and
MS friends were jubilant. After duckinR into
three. upper cuts, which were partially
guarded, in tho eleventh round O'Don-
nell drove a hard left to the ribs and
followed this with a swing on the jaw. For tho
next couple of rounds Joe confined his efforts
to playing for Billy's swollen face and nose,
which were in a fearful condition.
Bernstein did not show a mark except for Q
slight abrasion on the right side. ODonnell
landed three lefts on the jaw in succession with.
out receiving any return in the fifteenth round.
Bernstein, came back, staggering his man, as the
round ended.
Joe continued to use the same tactics In
the next four rounds. There was plenty of
fight left in o'Donnell. however, In the last
round.
Knowing that only a knockout would entitle
him 10 a decision. he fought ~tsfcely. Twice he
got 10 Bernsteih's jaw with swings. He finished
hard. Tut could not overcome Bernstein's ad.
vantage. The latter was declared the winner.

When the action of Minnie Seligman Cutting
to recover $4,000 for breach of contract from
Henry G. Miner came on before Justice Bischofr
Of the Supreme Court yesterday. there was an
alcohol lamp and a mail teapot before Lawyer
Francis L. Wellman, attorney Tor Mrs. Cutting.
On the contract in suit was pasted a printed
alp. Mrs. Cutting said 1t was put there Boz
cause OF tho illegibility OF part Of the contract.
Mr.. Wellman stated that inasmuch as Lawyer
Hummel. for Mr.. Mine was suggesting that
the print differed from the text of the contract,
they had decided To steam of the slip before the
Jury.
Mr.. Hummel objected. saying that an effort
at theatrical effect WAS being made. Justice
Bischofr said that he would permit the removal
OF the pasted slip. 80 the lamp was lighted,
and soon Mr.. Cutting had the teapot stcaming,
and the slip was steamed OIL. 1t was found that
the words under the slip were substantially
what was printed on the slip.
AT recess Mrs. Cutting and her husband,
Robert l.. Cutting. were served with papers In
an action brought by Sebastian &. de Scissors
to recover 80. 900 damage for the alleged con-
version Of three plays. Mr.. Cutting told Mr..
Wellman about the service, and he advised him

he was n witness In attendance in court and
could not be served. Mr.. Cutting threw them
on the floor. Mrs. Cuttings case was not con-
cluded.

ELI HAw IS ARRESTED.
IMP oRTANT DEVELOPMENTS IN
CAADEN,s DOUBLE CRIME.

A Pistol with Two Empty Cartridges Found
ct the Bottom or n C~hiunsy-Dloody Tracks
ON a Carpet on the Third Floor-shnw
Has q Conference with the Prosecutor.
CAMDEN n. j., Oct. 15.-Ei Shaw. the son OF
ms. Mary j. Shaw and tho Rrandson OF Mrs.
Emma Zane, the two women found murdered at
242 Line street on Tuesday morning. was ar
rested at 4 o'clock this afternoon and formally
charged with the crime. He was found at the
mousse OF Foster Zane, a relative, where he had
been under the surveillance OF the authorities
since the day OF the tragedy. He is % years old.
He was taken to the City Hall, and after a long
conference with Prosecutor OF the Pleas jenkins,
during which he is believed to have made a
statement. he was locked In q cell.
The circumstance which led to his arrest was
the discovery by the Coroner's jury yesterday Of
bloody tracks on the carpet of the third.story
room occupied by Mrs. Shaw. According to the
statements OF Eli Shaw tho tragedy had occurred
on the second floor, whittier his mother followed
him whom he left his room to look for supposed
burglars, There is nothing in his statements
coyery threw an entirely new light on tho case.
Inc police. on their examination OF the room
Today. noticed also that the covering OF a stove
pipe mole IN the chimney had been removed.
This was disclosed by chimney SCOT on the car
pet; Following out this clue they made an OK.
animation of tho chimney. and at, the bottom Of
u. or, the ground floor. they found q nye-cham-
bered revolver, apparently new. from which two
charges had been hred.
The other three chambers were loaded. The
weapon was taken to tho City Hall, and a short
time aftorward Eli Shaw was taken there under
arrest. Tho nature of the statement he made to
the authorities following his arrest cannot DO
ascertained. The Coroner's inquest will BIO held
on Tuesday.
II was made known by the examination OF tho
will OF Mrs. Emma Zane that Ell Shaw became
sole heir to her property upon the death Of his
mother, AT tho time of his arrest, although en-
feebled by the ravages OF the dise1s Sc from which
he is only just recovering, Ell was In full pos.
session of his mental faculties, and was per.
fectly clear In his statements. The police say
there ia no ind cation, that he was insane when
the tragedy happened.
DR.. Kahn. the family physician. who had at
tended him, said he would be able to prove his
innocence, The police have thus far been
5afilcd in their attempt to solve the mystery by
the strong indications that no burglars had
effected an entrance to the house. and that the
crime had been committed by some one who had
boon in the house before 1t was locked up at
night. The Coroncr's Jury and the Philadelphia
detectives. who examined the premises at once,
adopted this view.

ISOLATION OF LEPERS.

Special Gable Despatch to II

Special Gable Despdtch to THE Sun.
BERLIN, Oct. 15.-At to-day's session of tho
International Leprosy Conference a difference
Of opinion developed regarding the isolation of
those afflicted with the disease. The chief ex-
FOUNDER of the isolation theory. DR.. Hansen.
director Of the leprosy hospital at Bergen. Nor
way, said that his experience justified the pre-
dictson that, owing to the rigid isolation 80 long
practiced in Norway, the disease would disap-
pear entirely there by the beginning Of the
twentieth century.
II the same measures were followed uni
versally leprosy would be eradicated quickly.
He insisted upon the observance OF the most
scrupulous cleanliness. This, he added. was
moro strictly observed in the United States
than in Europe. tho result being. despite immi-
grafton, that the disease had not spread there.
DR.. Hansen declared that ho did not believe
that the disease was an hereditary ono, and
ascribed its reappearance in the second genera.
t!on to contact with grandparents by grand
children in their childhood.
DIR. Bcsnier OF Paris held that isolation was
not necessary II proper precautions were taken
to guard against contagion.
Emperor William received the delegates to the
conference nj Potsdam this afternoon. He con-
verscd individually with them for an hour.
Tho conference will close tomorrow.
