Hoobs, of Upper Plttston, died yester
day afternoon shortly after 4 o'clock.
6he had been ill for some months,
and, although her death was expected,
St was nevertheless a very sad blow to
her family. She was a daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Loftus (de
ceased), of Mill Hill, and a sister of
Anthony Loftus, of Mill street; Daniel
and Edward Loftus, of Carrol street;
Mrs. John Drake, of Wyoming; Mrs.
John Fanning, of Searle street; Mrs.

quiem at St. John's church, and the in
ment will be in Market Street cemetery.

A Gigantic Apollo.
James McDermott, the handsome
bookkeeper for Hughes & Glennon, pro
prietors of the Forest Castle brewery,
casts the longest shadow in the cheer
ful sunshine of these spring days of
any man In Plttston or vicinity. Mr.
McDermott measures 6 feet and 6 Inches
In his stockings and is admirably
proportioned, weighing over 250 pounds.
Mr. McDermott is, as a matter of
course, the pride of the proprietors of
the Forest Castle1 brewery, and its many
patrons, but he is especially admired by
Dolph Glennon, the literally speaking
big man of the concern, and whenever
circumstances permit they are invar
Ibly together. When these two big
men pass on the street it is no wonder
that the spectators say, "they are two
men that you don't meet every day."

council this evening, ordinances relat
ing to salaries of city officials were

JERDON A MAN OF NERVE.
A Colored Citlxen of Montrose Emulates
the Example of Mark Twain's Hero and
Cuts orf Ills Own Leg.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Montrose, Pa., April 16 In this little
village clustered on the bosom of the
grandest hills in Susquehanna county
dwells a negro, Jerdom Blair by name,
whose career has been interesting. He
has for some time been a charge of
the town and does not enjoy an envia
ble reputation, notwithstanding the
fact he was a regular preacher at the
church attended by people of his own
race. In a recent interview Jerdon
gave a Tribune correspondent an inter
esting account of his life. Jerdon
Blair came into this sinful world fifty
two years ago. He certainly looks it;
the wool on the top of his head has
grown so long that hairpins are neces
sary articles, amd Judging from the
shiny appearance of his coiffure, vase
line had played a prominent part in his
morning's toilet. His appearance at
once suggested the typical old negro
one sees on the variety stage and as
he poured forth in a mellifluent manner
the story of his life, his large glossy
eyes showed a certain vlciousness char
acteristic of the profligate black.
Twenty-eight years ago, while dig
ging a well. It caved in while he was
at Its bottom, the top of his head being
twenty-six feet below the surface. Im
mediately steps were taken for his re
covery, but for twenty-six hours he was
entombed in the bowels of the earth.
When taken out for dead and while be
ing carried to his home he evidenced
signs of life in various ways, the prin
cipal one being uttering Spanish oaths.
A Trip to Shoot.
While in the well and undoubtedly in
a state of coma, he avers that he en
tered the place of departed spirits; was
weighed upon a pair of scales over
which a herald angel presided and
found wanting. He departed to the
place of. torture and while there saw
many of the old and f am Liar faces
in Montrose. He was from this
purgatorial state rudely awakened by
the point of a pick, which struck him
with no light force on the apex of his
cranium.
From that day up until a short time
ago he has vigorously pursued the vo
cation of a well digger, with an occa
sional term in the county Jail or vary
ing to cellars, and once sank so low as
to dig graves. The crowning event of
his life happened recently and his
name will be handed down to posterity
as the man who fut his own leg off.
The effects of his well escapade did
not soon wear off, but small hard
bunches appeared on his right foot
shortly after his terrible experience.
They caused him no trouble for years
until In 1889, when they began to dis
charge a yellowish fluid and rapidly
grew worse. '
Ha consulted regular physicians and
surgeons and medicines of an external
and Internal nature 'failed to arrest the
progress of these now unsightly ulcers.
The prominent veins of his legs were
corded and absolutely purple, mo that
he was .finally advised by the men of
medicine that gangrene was slowly,
yet surely, making its ravages and In
time his entire leg would-be a festered
member. He shrank from their knife
and scalpel and would not allow the
amputation of his leg at the thigh.
Soon, however, he saw that something
was necessary,, the pain constantly in
creasing and torture was his only com
panion. So after hunting about his
small cabin, he found an old rip saw, a
small file and from his person
he took the long treacherous knife
which played such; a prominent part In
' - -. . .
his recent arrest, when he attempted to
assault an officer.
He lleeomo Ills Own Surgeon.
The knife he sharpened carefully, and
after removing the necessary clothing
began by cutting a large gash In his
leg, midway between the kneepan and
ankle, his foot was in the way so with
out further ceremony he cut 1 and
slashed about the anklo until he struck
the joint and severed It from his body.
He then cut Hllces of flesh from the
leg, shaving them off close to the bone,
scraping the latter so that not a vestige
of tissue remained adhering to it. Ho
was so unnerved at this point that his
operations ceased and he cleaned up the
floor, which was literally flooded with
clotted blood.
After a while, however, his nerve re
turned and ho then proceeded to give
his undivided attention to the removal
of the bones.
The rip saw was too dull, so he gave
that up, and seeing a small kinky head
ed neighbor passing, asked the child to
go to Roger's butcher shop and get a
meat saw. The child returned without
one, having suld thut Blair wanted it
to saw his leg off. So the file was then
brought Into play. Ho carefully filed
a ridge around the bones and then
again tried the rip saw, but without
ovull. The Hie wus not. practical, the
saw too dull fur bone. What was to be
done?
Banquet for the Dogs.
Ho solved the question, for seeing In
the floor a crack wide enough to Insert
his suw, began operations and soon hnd
the hole wide enough to admit of his
putting the bone stump In It. This he did
and with drawn breath leaned on It
uud fell sideways the bones crackud
and Jerdon lay prone on the floor, for
the bones had broken neur the knee,
teurlng the flesh and again causing the
blood to gush forth. How long he laid
there he does not know, but when he
rama to and summoned up strength to
arise the disjointed member dropped
from his leg and lay there In mute up
peal. He did not attempt to remove
the foot and bone that evening, but the
next day burled them In the small yard
by his house; but he had no sooner
done this before a dug, belonging to a
neighbor, dug them up and feasted
upon them for several hours before It
wus discovered. He says that he now
often feels as if dogs were gnawing at
his leg, which Is natural, as it Is a
scientific fact that armless and legless
men feel at times as If their bodies
were whole, and In case a limb Is
buried with the fingers or toes in an
unnatural position it will always feel
that way to the one from whom it came.
He burled the foot and bones again,
so deep that the dogs were unable to
unearth them a second time, but he soon
afterwards had a bad fall which broke
off about six Inches more of his leg,
almost at the knee. Since then iodo
form has failed to heal the stump, and
he is today suffering from an unhealed
sore. -
He Is a persistent believer in the fact
that silver ore is to be found near
Montrose, and claims the loam shows
