THE SIAMESE TWINS ECLIPS- ED BY PINE BLUFF
 TWINS.
Born Connected By Skin, Flesh and Bone. With Perfect Bodfes-Were Born
 Dead.

Mrs. Joe 0melrk, wife Of an em- ploye of the Cotton Belt shops. gave birth Monday morning to girl rl.twins. which were scientific wonders. They were born dead but with their bodies firmly joined at the base of the breast-bone by connecting bridge of bone. flesh and skin. Each body was perfect in organism, the only difference between them and other bodies being the connecting bridge. The breasts being joined they faced each other and the bodies were fully two ard half inches apart Their combined weight was eight pounds. Many twins have been born connects ed by skin or by flesh and with i'm perfect bodies.
 The Siamese twins are the most renowned of any of this nature. They were joined only by skin and flesh.
 It is to be deplored that these Om- eirk twins were born dead, as the case is unparalleled in science.
 Their bodies were buried In Belt wood cemetery.
 Photographs of the twins were taken by Perrings, and Dr. A.C. Jor. dau. the attending physician, is pres pairing q scientific description of tho twins. and will publish 1t in soue|
 4 medical journal.
