A Williamsport paper tells the fol-
lowing seemingly improbable story :
“At the request of & number of
prominent physicians of Philadelphia,
Dr. 8. 8. Koser, of this city, on Sun-
day evening held a post mortem exam-
ination of the remains of John Bly, of
Watsontown, who died Friday night.
For a long time Bly, who was twenty
years of age, suffered with a tumor
which grew into the base of the brain
and occasioned his death. The growth
had a visible effect upon his brain, and
the case became a curiosity to the
medical profession. The tumor was
imbedded too deeply in the brain tissue
(to admit of an operation for its re-
moval and the autopsy was awaited
for developments.

“Pursuing Spaniards.”
HAvANA. Jan. 28.—Communication
with Pinar del Rio is still very much
interrupted, but reports received by
courier show that the insurgents there
under Antonia Maceo are displaying
great activity and are doing much dam-
age, despite the reports disseminated
here that he was being closely pressed
by the Spanish troops and was anxious
to escape into Havana province as best
he could. It is admitted that some
2,000 residents of Pinar del Rio prov-
ince have joined the forces of the insur-
gents.
Pablo Oliva effected a junction at
Punta de la Sierra, Pinar del Rio, with
about 300 other insurgents, and after-
wards succeeded in capturing the pri-
*“1t was found that the tumor was
nearly as large as a billiard ball, It
was 80 located as to demoralize the |
nerves of the sight centre, and as a |
consequence young Bly was blind for
over three years. But the most singu- |
lar fact developed was that the entire |
vate guards on the plantation of Murias.
Maceo and his men are in the extreme
western portion of Pinar del Rio, ac-
cording to the latest accounts. The
volunteer troops at Paso Raal and
Guanes report that large numbers of in-
surgents have been passing those points
in the direction of the city of Pinar del
charge for theirs, the question has been
raised, why under the general act of As-
sembly, fixing the per diem of these of-
ficials, the pay of Commissioners in one
county is limited to a certain sum, while
in others it can be run up to the full
amount the per diem will make ?
It is only necessary to state that"
Judge Barker’s decision was based upon
the provisions of a local act passed in
1872 relating to the County Commision-
ers of Cambria county. After the pass-
age of the act of 1889, fixing a per diem
compensation of $3.50, the County
Commissioners of that county, believing
that they were entitled to the provisions
of the act of 1889 took pay under that
act. Upon an appeal from the settle-
ment mada by the county Auditors in
Janudry 1895, the case decided by
Judge Baker arose.
