MAssAGED BACK TO LIFE.
Claim Made by Physician Before New
 York Academy of Medicine.

Claim Made by Physician Before New
 York Academy of Medicine.
 New York, May 13.-A physician of this city claims to have made the dis covery that patient can be massaged back to life. He recently announced this method of resuscitation at a meet ing of the New York Academy of Medi- cine.
 The doctor has been experimenting along this line for year or more on dogs, and in many cases has been en- tirely successful. In one case a dog the heart of which had stopped beat ing for about quarter of an hour was revived by the treatment and lived for several hours afterward.
 The method is to make small in- cision between the ribs without cutting the bone. The fingers are then thrust into the opening behind the heart A few gentle pressures on the heart is all that is required. it is claimed, to re- vfve circulation. Tn conjunction with this process is an artificial respiration produced with pump. A tube is at tached to the pump and inserted into the patients throat as far as the wind pipe.

NO CLUE TO MISS CRANES

bent upon attending a meeting U
 singing society which was rehearSn
 for Decoration Sunday under the direc- tion of Mrs Wolff, and evidently would have been present had she not been kept away by some agency over which she had no control. Much indigna- tion is felt over the assault and if the matter is not cleared LID soon it looks as if 1t were case for which the city should offer a reward. It is said that desperate gang of rowdies in- tests that district, and if fhhe girl was victim of their deviltry it would pay to run them down and bring them to justice at any cost.
 Detectives Dodds, KennauRh and OGorman are sparing no pains to get at the bottom of the facts and are now III possession of what they consider as good evidence as could be had that MISS Crane was seen walking down North Elm street in company with as man about 9:30 o'clock. He was a low sized fellow and wore a black hat. the description agreeing with that of the man Whom the messenger boy saw take the girl from the door of the Boston fufnlture Co.'S store. While Miss Cranes family refuse to believe that she was on North Elm street, tha de tectiyes think that the gentleman who says he saw her there could nor well
 be mistaken, because he has known Miss Crane for years and is positive that he made no mistake. He did not know her companion. but claims that he would recognize him should he see him again. The conclusion one would come to from this is that the girl met some friend on East, Main street on her way to the hall who invited her off for a walk and played her false. Nothing definite will be known as to whether this is true or not until the victim be- comes rational.
 At the hospital this afternoon it was stated that there was prac- tically no change in the condition of the patient She talks little now and then, but says nothing in q con- nected way.
 1t was stated to-day that Monday night, shortly after o'clock, a team stopped at the corner of Union and Franklin streets and took in tall girl dressed in black and then headed down Franklin street towards Pond street. l The party who saw the carriage thought 1t belonged to 8 Spring street 1iveryman, but upon investigation it turned out to be nothing of any inter est to the authorities. Inquiry at the hospital late this afternoon elicited the 1 information that there was no change | in Miss Crane's condition.

THE DAILY STATEMENT.
Faithful Band Still Standing Together
 for Justice.

for Justice.
 The strikers executive committee as sued the following daily statement this afternoon:
 This is the 123rd day of our strike tand finds our faithful band standing united together for what we believe 70 be justice. That is all we have asked for from the start of our fight nearly eighteen weeks ago. We have done everything in our power to bring about a settlement, but the company has shown no inclination to do the right thing by us and has ignored all fair and honorable efforts to, bring about the desired object. As the case stands now there is nothing left for us to do but fight the good fight to a finish
 On looking over our muster roll we find ourselves to-day as we were at the start, that is to say, just as strong, just as united. Miller, Booth and Wood cut no figure as they amount to o, consequently we have lost nothing.
 Some time since We referred to the liberal distribution of free for all tick cts by the company. This has been renewed with considerable energy dur ing the past week for the expressed purpose of leading the public to be- lieve that the riding on the cars has increased. We know pretty nearly what is going on and don't feel the least uneasy in that regard.
 We note that several guardians of the peace have been deprived of their passes by the company, while others who act as drummers amongst our men, trying to induce them to return to work, have been allowed to retain their credentials.

VIOLIN WITH A HISTORY.
Found With New York Pawnbroker- Said to Be Worth 5000.

45
 New York, May 13.--What experts say is probably aGaarnerius violin, was pawned recently i'll shop in this city for $20. The pawnbroker with whom it is pledged says if the instrument is Garner1us violin 1t is worth $5,OOO. It was pledged by Hungarian violin ist. The following inscription is dis cernabley inside the instrument: Jos eph Guarnerius Fecit. Cremonae, Anno 1742, I. H. S.'
 The violinist said tht instrument had been discovered three years ago by one of his pupils, James Beveridge of Ida ho, who was studying in Italy, among the effects of an Italian nobleman who had become bankrupt. Mir Beveridge is said to have bought the instrument for $25 and to have given 1t to the vio- linist in appreciation of his instruc- ton.
 It is the opinion of experts that there is but one other Guarnerius in New York. H. o. Havemeyer owns it. MT Havemeyer's Guarnerius was made in 1737 and is of much lighter color than the one in the pawn shop. 1t is but three-fourths the size of the latter.
 The carving of the violin in the pawn shop is perfect. The marbled neck Is little worm eaten, but there is the varnish that nobody now can make and the instrument is made of the per | feet wood of Cremona that climate can not spoil The tone Is most even l through all the range.

Woman Still Lies at Hospital in
 Serious Condition.
MANY RUMoRs FLYING ABOUT

Reported That She Was Seen on North
 Elm Street at 9:30-Detectives Are
 Following Up Several Clews-Mes-
 senger Boy Says He Saw Her on
 Brook and Scovin Streets About
 Midnight.
 The mystery surrounding the as sault upon Miss Margaret Crane Mon day night has not been cleared up, though some things have come to light which would indicate that the girl was not any great distance from the center from the time she was last seen Ill Exchange place until she wandered in- to the hallway on School street. About l o'clock she tried to enter the lunch cart on Brook street, but thinking her some demented person they refused to let her in and a short time later Ma poleon Rasicotte, a Western Union messenger boy, noticed her standing at the Scovill street entrance to the Boston Furniture Co.'S building. The youRgster was somewhat surprised at the strange figure and pointed the girl out to a man who happened along. The fellow walked over to her, took her by the arm and escorted her up Scovill street. So far the authorities have not been able to ascertain who this man was.
 It would be an easy matter enough to account for the assault in the back streets of that district, but what pug zles everybody is how she got in there. She parted with an acquaintance at the corner of North Main street and Exchange place about ten minutes of 6 o'clock and turned up East Main street toward St Patrick's ihall At, that time and for ten or fifteen minutes later a number of her companions stood outside the meeting place so that it would be almost impossible for her to have passed that point unknown to her society associates even if she wanted to. Assuming that she did not continue out East Main street she must have turned into Phoenix avenue or Brook street. 1t is probable that she concluded to make a flying trip over to her brothers on South Elm street and decided to reach the place by cut ! ting across Brook street and thence IT Scoyill street. She didn't show LID al her brothers, but if 1t be true that she was going there and by this route she ! must have been struck down on tht way and then dragged off the street If this ds mot so, there can be no doub but Miss Crane will be able to tell tht name of her assailant when she re gains consciousness, fod' nobody wht knows her believes that she woult l have thought of taking walk with al utter stranger. Besides that she wa

Adxertining Did It.

He didn't have a dollar; he didn't have a dime. His clothes and shoes were looking just as though they'd served their time. He didn't try to kill himself to dodge misfortune's whacks. Instead, he got some ashes and he filled five dozen sacks. Then, next he begged dollar. In the paper in the morn he advertised tin polish that would put the sun to scorn. He kept on advertis- ing. and, just now, suffice to say, he's cut in California at his cottage on the bay.--Lyre. K NJ

ANNIE JoHNSoN's TRUNK.
Mrs Abbott Held It Because Girls @, Notice Was Not Up.

Notice Was Not Up.
 The servant question will be given hearing in the city court a week from next Monday, in the afternoon. It will come up before Judge Peasley in the case of Annie Johnson against Mrs Flora Abbott now a resident of New York city. The plaintiff was servant in the employ of the defendant. The plaintiff had as good a time as the average domestic until she got the idea that she wanted d change. She had all the evenings and afternoons off that she wanted or wished for, but that was not everything and she made up her mind to leave. She claims Mrs Abbott made things very warm, so warm, in fact, that she could not stand them, and she left one day before her notice had expired. But she did not take her trunk Mrs Abbott held onto that. She thought she had the law on her side and that Annie was obliged to stay the full period of her notice. If Annie returned and worked out the day which Mrs Abbott claimed was due her she could have her trunk, but not until then.
 Annie made several demands for the trunk, but Mrs Abbott was as stolid as the great wall of China At length she engaged Sheriff Rigney and he re- covered the trunk. This was one for Annie. Then more trouble came upon Mrs Abbott. She was asked to pay Annie's expenses in engaging the sheriff. This she refused to do; they could move the great wall of China and the Rocky mountains before she would pay cent. Then she left for New York, where she has since remained Unless she appears at the fearing Judgment will be given against her by default. and if she does appear she will necessarily have to pay her rail- road fare and other expenses, and iin all probability Sheriff Rigney's fee and Annie's other outlay: so that any way she looks she sees nothing but lawyers and law expenses, all through retaining Annie's trunk,

The first court of which We have any existence is that of Court Perseverance, No 1, instituted at Leeds, England, in 1790, although mention has been made of one in Karesboro, England, in 1745, but this has never been confirmed, so the writ ten history of Forestry began with the one in Leeds, in 1790.
 At the formation of the first court the title of Ancient Royal Order of For esters was adopted. The fraternity progressed rapidly and harmoniously until the year 1884, when the arbitrary attitude of the high court forced a di- vision of the order. In the forty years intervening the order had risen from one to 358 courts The result of the division Nas that 342 courts recon structed under the name of the Ancient Order of Foresters. The Royal Order of Foresters faded away to few courts. while the Ancient Order of For esters grew in strength and magnif- cence. The latter event took place in I Rochdale, England.
