NO INQUEST TONIGHT
No Time Set to Investigate Death Of
Peter Smith.

1t now appears that the inquest into
the death OF Peter Smith, who was
shot at the workhouse on Monday
night, will not take place this evening.
Coroner Mccormick, when seen this
morning, said he had not seen his dep
uty today, and therefore knew nothing
about the time set for the hearing. He
said, however, he did not believe the
inquest would be held tonight.

A MARVELLOUS CURE.

Thomas f. Shea Relieved by Bonesetter.
4 Once again "Bonesetter" Reese has ac-
complishied what has seemed the lmpOSsl-
Bile, the person benetitting by his skill this
time being Thomas E. Shea, who played at
the opera house last week. MIR. Shea has
suffered from his right foot, which was in
F.! iured in an accident II years ago and which
, was never restored to its proper form since
! the injury. On Saturday the ''Bonesetter'
called on him by appointment, and as has
been the case in so many other instances he
i accomplished that which batfied the best
physicians and surgeons and accomplished
it too, without any serious Inconvenience or
pain to Mr.. Shea. As a result OF the "BOne-
/ Settlers" work Mr. Shea is now able to use
his foot in a manner that has been imp0ssi-
BILE since he sustained the accident IL years
ago. The work of the "Bonesetter" is re-
garded as marvel by those who are familiar
with the case. Mr.. Reese goes along work
ing these wonders in his own line and is
dali, becoming more famous and adding to
the list of names of those who have reason
to be grateful that they met him. oungs-
town, Ohio, Vindicator, February 9th.
In private note, from which we take the
liberty of quoting, Mr.. Shea furnishes some
further particulars which will be read with
interest by his many friends. lie says; "The
accident occurred eleven years ago last Au-
gust at Mt Percival, in Northport, by run
away horse Mr.. /. NJ. Cottrell was with
me at the time, but escaped uninjured For
eleven years l have never been really free
from PAIN but in three minutes this skilful
man, with his tremendous strength, twisted
the ankle into it's proper shape and pushed
the heel bone into its socket. Immediately
all pain was gone and the freedom of action
restored. The operator was formerly EN-
ployed in one of the large steel mills in
Youngstown and ten years ago resigned to
adopt his new profession. He is natural
bonesetter on the order of the famous Dr..
Lorenz, and he has made as many seemingly
miraculous cures, from Washington to
Chicago"

Madiana's Captain Censured.

HAMILTON, BERMUDA, Feb. q. The de-
cision of the court which has been inquir-
ing into the loss of the Quebec Steamship
Compapy's steamer Madiana, which having
about hundred tourists on board ran on a
reef off this island, Feb. 10, censures the
captains ''indiscretfon" in approaching the
coast when the light had not been seen. in
failing to become acquainted with the pre-
vailng conditions, in the omission to make
a periodic adjustment of his cOmpasses and
in the non-prOduction of the steamers log,
book. The court admits that the Gibbs Hill
light was defective and disappr0yes of the
employment of a crew unable to speak Eng
fish.
