A CORPSE IN A STREET CAR.
Passengers Not Aware That the Man
NNes Dead.

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-An unidentified
man died yesterday while sitting in Sec
ond Avenue trolley car. and rode for nearly
an hour before his death was discovered
Many passengers sat beside him. probably
touched him and looked at him as he sat
there dead and never noticed that he was
not breathing The conductor passed b.
him constantly collecting fares and. asked
him if he wanted transfers without no.
ticing that he was addressing one without
life
1t is presumed that the man got on the
car at the Brooklyn Bridge although the
conductor cannot tell. He sat down in the
forward part of the car and paid his fare
His dress was that of a workman. He
leaned back in q comfortable position and
looked toward the floor. In this attitude
he rode to One Hundred and Twenty ninth
street.
There the motor was reversed and the
conductor took the other end of the car
for the return trip. The workman. sitting
bolt upright and still gazing at the floor.
was the only passenger left. Supposing
that he had gone to sleep. the conductor
caught hold of him to shake him. The
body rolled off the seat and fell upon the
floor.
A policeman was called and the car was
held until an ambulance arrived from the
Harlem Hospital. The accompanying sur
geon said the man had been dead an hour.
There was absolutely nothing in his pock-
cts by which he could be identified. The
body was removed to the Harlem Morgue
to await Identification. The ambulance
surgeon said that the man died presumably
of heart failure.

JEFFERSON DAVIS coURTsHIp.
4 Novel Method for Commemorative
Romance.


INDIANAPOLIS Feb Ig.-Mrs J. H.
Rabb, wealthy widow and an old resi-
dent of Vincennes. is preparing to COM
memorate in unique manner the court
ship Of jefferson Davis then a lieutenant
in the United States Army but afterward
Miss Mary Knox Taylor, second daughter
of Col Zachary Taylor. afterward Presi-
dent of the United States
According to local tradition. Taylor was
in command of the fort near Vincennes at
the opening of the Black Hawk war. in
1892. and Davis was a lieutenant under his
command Near the fort, and on what is
now farm belonging TO James Wyatt was
large stone. which lay partly above and
partly buried in the ground. The young
lieutenant and Miss Taylor formed a deep
attachment for each other. and often
walked out on the prairie surrounding the
fort. and frequently seated themselves on
the stone.
On one of these occasions while seated
on the stone, Davis proposed 10 Miss Taylor
and was accepted. Ii is said that Colonel
Taylor said to ? friend at the fort. when
the engagement became known, that he
had no objections to his daughters suitor,
except that he was a soldier and that he
himself knew the priyatiOns of a soldiers
family and would save his daughter from
such fate. When Davis asked the hand
of his daughter. however this Objection
was waived and consent was given
Among their acquaintance at Vincennes
hot yis "a pl,r of ba
pleasant hours they had passed seated on
the old stone. and in one of these refer
ences TO their-evening walks Davis told OF
proposing TO Miss Taylor while seated on
il. 1t was shortly after this that Taylor
and his prospective son-in-law found
themselves Of opposing opinions in respect
to the appearance of an officer at court
martial without his uniform. the young
lieutenant voting with an officer named
Smith. between whom and Taylor there
was bitter enmity.
Following this episode, Colonel Taylor
withdrew his consent to the marriage, but
Davis and Miss Taylor continued their as
socation which was now confined TO walks
upon the prairie, where the old stone be
came their favorite trysting place, and
which resulted in determination to marry
without the consent of their father Davis
soon after resigned from the army and
he and Miss Taylor were married at the
home OF an aunt of the bride in Ken
lucky.
1t is this series of events that Mrs. Rabb
proposes to commemorate, and the stone
has been brought from the Wyatt farm
and is now lying near the front door of
her home. She is engaged in securing the
exact dates of Lieutenant Daviss stay at
the fort and of his first meeting with Miss
Taylor, and, if possible, of the day on
which he proposed to her. AS soon as the
data can be secured, the stone will be
smoothed and polished and the events will
be recorded The local historical society
of Vincennes is interested in the work also.
and when the record is complete and placed
On the stone it will be turned over to the
city with appropriate ceremonies.

FIVE RUNNERS FRosTBITTEN.
College Men Brave the Storm In Thin
Costumes.

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-Twelve college
bred men. clad only in the usual runners
costume of short duck trousers and a thin
armless jersey, started out on the cross
country run of the Shamrock Harriers
yesterday during the blizzard. OF the
dozen, FIVE finished exhausted and so badly
frostbitten that three suffered the most
agonizing pains for hours.
The run was started over the snow clad
grounds of Van Cortlandt Park and had
the full dozen among the starters, but
when three miles Of the course had been
travelled but five remained, and they quit
only after fear of exhaustion and falling
in the snow entered their minds. One by
one these five staggered back to the club
house, and upon their arrival. with eyes
bloodshot, lips blue, and legs stiffened,
fell exhausted.
Hot mustard baths and applications
of snow were the remedies administered
the youths who braved the bleak winds
and huge snow drifts in bare legs and
arms for the senseless honor of being
termed game" and risked death by ex
posure.
C. B. Fussell was the first to arrive at
the warm clubhouse. and after twenty
minutes battling with the snow-drifting

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-Two clever and

was entered on the ships book as Leontine
L. Simon. They arrived on the Bretagne,
January s, and were promptly barred. Two
weeks later the authorities at Washing
ton learned that the women we're on a
steamer bound for Halifax. Once in Can
ada, the pair separated, % with an agree
ment to meet in New York. But the police
were on the watch and the Beaum woman
was arrested at VanceboD Me-, and
twenty-four hours later Leotine Simon
was caught near Portland.
Again the women will be deported to
Havre. but, as they did not travel by any
of the lines of steamers running to this

A VICTIM OF HYPNoTIsM.
Seized With spasms Mt the same Hour
Each Day.

READING. Pa. Feb. 19.-Unable TO
work because. or so it is believed. he is
under a hypnotic spell and in constant
fear OF spasm of such violence that ten
men are hardly able TO hold him down.
but still retaining full consciousness,
George A. ZiegIer. of this city. has exist
ed for almost five months. Half dozen
medical experts have examined his case
and found that they could not diagnose it
correctly.
The spasm comes upon him suddenly
with little warning. and his muscles seem
endowed with supernatural strength. One
man stands on his feet another holds
them; one sits on his chest: two hold
each hand. and several more his head, and
still he makes struggle for an hour and
half before any relief comes. The only
drug that relieves him is morphine. and
he himself directs the doctor where to in
ject il.
The first of these attacks occurred in
October. while he was working in the
Reading Railway Company machine shops.
He was carried to a doctors office. but
nothing could be done for him except TO
inject morphine and wait until he revived.
Since then he has sometimes been attack
ed every day, then again every week, but
always at the same time of day.
The explanation of hypnotsm is now
given to account for his case. Six months
or so ago Ziegler and a number of friends
became interested in that subject. Sew
eral of them studied it. and Ziegler often
allowed them to experiment on him. One
young man in particular seemed more Ca
pable than the rest. The suspicious OF the
family were aroused some time ago, and
the young hypnotist was approached on
the subject. He gave 10 satisfactory an
swer and evaded all questioning He final
ly said. however, that Ziegler would have
no more spasms. and for several weeks
they stopped. but later Ziegler was again
attacked. Ziegler's relatives have threat
ened the arrest of the alleged hypnOtist.
but nothing has as yet been done in the
matter.
