His kidney trouble is not cured, but be is thoroughly cured of any pre vious habits of accepting free treatment and medicines from strangers. Derrick Dec. 31st. One of the most remarkable cases local physicians bave beeu called upon for action, occurred yesteaday when one was called to the Union station to ex amine a body In transit to ease the mind of a relative that the corpse was not in a trance or in a condition "of suspended ant maticn. The dead woman was Mrs. M. Gllmore, of West Hickory, and she diod at 8 o'clock yesterday morning. It was decided to ship the body to Centerville, Crawford county, a few miles north of Titusville, and the body arrived here, via the Olean division of the P. R. R. shortly before noon. In the mean lime a telegra.n bad been Bent here by Mr. Atherton, sta tion agent for the P. R. R. at West Hick ory, and who Is a son-in-law of the de ceased, to the effect that he was not satis fied that Mrs, Atherton was really dead, and Instructing one of the surgeons of the company to make an examination. The body was in a coffin, which was incased in a rough box, and wbicb In turn was encompassed by a shipping case. The encasements were completely air tight, and when the rases were opened the sur geons expressed the opinion that if the woman had not been dead before she was shipped that she wo'dd surely be dead from asphyxiation by the time she arrived here. When the coffin was opened the body was rigid and there was nothing to indicate that the fears of pre mature burial on the part of relatives were well grounded or any reason to be lieve that the woman had not been dead before being laid out. The body was sent from here over the P. R. R, train No. til, leaving at 1:02 p. in. Derrick, Deo. 30th. Great Clearance Sale at Racket Store.
