however, and when tlie ruin began during

happened te Cenrad Shacll'er, Jr., residing
with his father at the Western hotel, corner

ployed at Kngle's quarries nnd had access
te dynamlte used in blasting. Voting

examination allowed that he was very seri
ously Injured. Holseevored with wounds,
the most dangerous being ene en the
abdomen. I'art of his left hand is gene,
and tlicre are dozens of wounds en his
body from his feet te the head. The ex
plosion wrecked tlie room, breaking the
windows and destroying lliecasing. Yeung
Shuell'er's condition te-day is about tlie
siime as yesterday and the chances are
decidedly against his recovery.
Willie Spanglcr, living en Seuth Prince
near Vine street, had the iNtlm of his hand

into which large crackers were being
thrown. One of these, which was of the
dynamlte kind, exploded immediately in
Moere's face. One of Ills eyes was terribly
burned and it is feared that the sight of it
will be alfcctcd. Tlie unfortunate feature
of this accident is that Moere's ether eye is
blind and he lias net been able te see out of
it for years.

A WIFE'S SURPRISE.
W
IER RTSB.MD WAS DIVORCED FROM HER
YEARS AGO IN NEBRASKA.
The First intimation She Had of the Dt-
voreoWBsM.tlielteuUtc.r's Hear-
liiKTe-tlay lu the Court Meuse.
Peter Fayeeck, who lived In Kphrata
township for several years, died n few
weeks age, leaving an estate valued at from
m te f 1,000. He left surviving him three
brothers and they renounced their right
te administer the estate In raver or Jeseph
J. 11 Zerfass. Mrs. Nancy Fnyeeck
claimed the right te administer en the es
taeo as tlie widow of decedent and te ascer
tain from the facts in the case who was en
titled te administer, lleglster Myers to
day gave the parties a hearing.
K. K.Martin and T.ll. Helnhan appeared
for Zerfass, and Titos. Whitson for Mrs.
Fay cock.
Alter tlie tillering In evidence or tlie re
nunciation ofthe three brothers, Mrs. Fay Fay
eock wns startled when a document was
offered In ovldeneo which read that Peter,
lier husband, had been divorced from her
In Dawsen county, Nebraska, en December
D, 1881. This ii))cr set forth that Mrs. Fny Fny
eock had been notified of the proceeding.
and net filing an answer thereto, her hus
band was granted a divorce.
Mis, Fayeeck emphatically denied Hint
slielmd received a notice of the intention
of her husband te prtwure a divorce. Her
story was Hint they lived lu lledfnnl coun
ty, this state, for many years. In 1878 for
seme reason he became tired of her and
mode an npplicnllen for a divorce. Who re
sisted tlie application and en the trial or
tlie case lie railed te substantiate tlie
chargesiipeu which he desired a divorce,
and the llcduird county court decided
against lilni, refusing him a divorce
The next proceeding In llctlfertl county
was en herpnrt. She did iiottleslro te be
divorced absolutely from him, but only
from Ills bed ami beard and that wns de-
eroed te her, he net insisting.
This dltl net npienr te satisfy her hus
band and lie left Hedford county and went
te Nebraska. He did net remain long lu
that stale anil from tlie date or the' dlvorce
decreed against her alie thinks lie only
went te that state te obtain tlie divorce.
Slie sawlilm after Ills return from Ne
braska, and he never told Iter that a dl dl dl
voreo was doc reed te him. Tlie first Inti
mation, she claims, she had or the dlvorce
was when It was presented nt the hearing
te-day.
Mrs. Fayeeck Is about IW years old nnd
her husband was about the sanie age. They
had no children. It Is her intention te up up
Ieal rrom.the decision of tlie register nnd
have tlie court te pass upon her right te ad
minister upon her husband's estate. She
will also make Inquiries and ascertain who
accepted service for or pers-iliated her lu
Nebraska when the application for dlvorce
was inade.

after twenty vears of experimenting he
had discovered a true elixir r life, n sub

make strong the feeble. I la contended Hint
if the living cells or a young mid vigorous
being could be Injeeted Inte another where
tlie vital spark was low his organism most

years age the doctor advanced views of tlie
same character in a lecture bofero the
medical faculty or Palis and has since been
engaged lu exerltnclitilig oil the subject
by treating old mid worn-out animals.
Finally, as lie states, he readied such jsir jsir
fcctleu that he tried his elixir upon him
self with slat fling results.
The doctor Is new Ti years old, anil pre
sumably is subject te the weakness ami

certain organs or glands taken, still

Medical moil In New Yerk are sceptical
