She gave her name as Miss Mintie Whitney, and her address was 206 Bancroft street. The statement made by her through Tug Bug was to the effect that while talking with a friend in the park she heard the shot and saw Dr. McKune fall. She with her friend rushed over there and asked who it was that had been shot,and who shot him, and Dr. Cross told her he did, and that Dr. McKune had assaulted him. The ceroner tried to find this young lady as a_witness before the in- quest but could mot owing to seme mistako in the address given him. Since then there have been all sorts of rumors about the woman having disappeared, and that when the time came she would make some startling rev- elations, that she saw it all, etec. Tue Bk is able to state that all this sensa- tional talk is bosh. The young woman was found again yesterday by Tuk - BEr reporter, and repeated the same statement as beforo published. She says she heard no scufflo or fight, although there might have been ene. She 18 not prepared to say there was none, but the first that attracted her at- tention was the shot. The young woman was yesterday at the St. Joe house, hav- ing moved from her former address on Bancroft street. The many sensational stories about the mysterious woman wit- ness will probably end now.

For Canme Meat, | A Farmer Living Near Mayunk Who | Cooks Oats and Dogs For Food, and Extracts Their Oil as o Rtemedy For Cons | ption. | - | Puiladelphia Pross | Beneath the thatched roof ef a vine- | bowered cottage, nestled lovingly at the | foot of a sloping hillside in Lewer Merion township, a few miles from Manayunk, | lives Fritz Morkle and his wife. The | farmers in the neighborhood call him “dog-onting Morkle.” Ho eats not only dogs, but cats. This taste ho acquired from his mother in-law, who lives in Ger. many, where Fritz himself was born a ©o0d many y Ho formerly kept ing-heuso in Manayunk, the Reading Railroad doy Through close cconomy and fortunate apeculations in a swall way, ho saved up enough money ‘to purchase the farm upon which he . now lives. Ho is a slender-built man, with koon brown eyes, moustache od af- ter that of Bismarck, and a curly head of hair. In his dress ho affocts the manners and customs of the eity folks. Ho is well known in Manayunk and through the surrounding country as a dog-eato., and it is not stretching the line of truth an inoh out of the perpendicular to say that at least a dozen of the choicest, slockest, fattest canines in the bofore. mentioned suburb have inhabited, upox various occasions, in cold, carved sections, his domestic clap-beard. Fritz kills the dogs with his trusty gun, skins them after the orthodox method which prevails in slaughtering beef, and then quarters them. He especially prizes the hams, or hind quarters, which he salts, cures, and eats with as much guste as though the meat in question were veal, HOW HE COOKS THEM. When he gets a fat pup—a Newfound land or plump mastiff or setter—he boils that portion of the anatomy contiguous to the backbone, reaching from the ears to the tail, and extracts therefrom a palo amber colored oil, which he pronounces & certain and speedy curo for consump- tion, sore throat and kindred bronchial complaints, He sells large quantities of this oil to quacks and rural druggists, who disposes of it as opportunity offors, at seventy-five conts per half pint. From @ canine of average size, ho obtains a gallon of oil. Mrs Merkle, a thrifty, buxom matron, who looks Teutonic every inch of her, even with her mouth shut, cooks the cat and dogs and superin- tends the making of the oll. A roporter of The Pross spent a portion of yesterday afternoon with this queer family, whose home life, when victuals are not in question, does not differ from that of ordinary mortals. When the visitor reached the place Frii was leaning on the front gate, mechanical- ly whittling a slip of willow wood. Mrs. Merkle was vibrating between the ‘‘shed- kitchen” and the cellar, busily bottling the dogs’ oil. A fat Towser lzily slept near the pump, the picture of innocent contentment, utterly unconscious of the awful fatein store for him. An attenuated roan mare had her gaunt head poked wistfully out of a hole in the barn door. A faded sunflower rested against the weather-boarding of the kitchen, apparently tired of life. Near the burn was what proved, upon subsequent inspection, to be a bleached heap of dogs’ and cats’ bones. The reporter dis- mounted from his stylish equipage, and giving the cultivated Jehu on the box a clgar with which to while away the tedi ol noments, opened the gate, saluted Fritz and walked into the dining room. Fritz followed with wondering eyes. The reporter laid a silver half dollar upon the table and asked for a bottle of dog's oil, as a medium of opening the conversation without exciting suspicion as to his identity. ‘*What is this oil good for?” he asked. “‘Say, Annie, for vat goet ish dis oi1!” imquired Fritz of his spouse, who was just descending into the cellar. ““For kunshumpshun,” she raplied. “‘How do you kill your dogs?” pursued the reporter. ““Say Annie, T8 (GO, how haf ve kill 'em?” again asked F'ritz of his spouse. ‘‘Shoot him,” was the impatient re- sponse, frem the innermost dopths of the cellar, “They say that you eat degs,” maid the visiter, prepared to climb up the chimney. ‘“‘Say, Annie, do vo ate dog?” called out Fritz to Mrs, Merkle, ‘Dot ish goot,” she remarked, her wrath evidentiy rising as she began to as- cend the cellar stairs. Mrs. Merkle voushsafed the informa- tion that the hams were boiled or fried, and eaten with an abundance of salt and pepper. She said dog meat was tolerably tender, with a flavor like veal, yet pecu- liar withal, and ought to be eaten by cut- ting it fine, like a lobster for salad.” The reporter asked Fritz if he ever ate cats. Ho turned to his wife and asked, ‘‘Say, Annie, ve haf ate cat?” ““Um, sometime, yah, Cat ish goot, toe,” replied Mra. Merkle, as she pre- pared to again descend into the cellar. oar LABLYING A DOG 70 ROARDERY Mook Mr. Merkle related how, when he kept o tavern, he had hoiled a ‘‘fine, fat” Newfoundland dog and served him to his boarders as veal, and how, when he told them afterward about the deception, two of them were taken deathly sick, Mrs. Morkle says she likes cat Ithough it is not *‘so goot ash dog,” haying a flavor more akin to rabbit, The meat of both dog and cat is dark, that of the former being tenderer. The meat of the hind- quarters of the cat is especially firm, and they esteewm it the tid-bit of "the feline anatomy Not long ago a man living in Manayunk named Metzler gave Fritz an old pot dog_called “‘Spot.”” Some days wards Iritz called and told him that had made *“splendid eating.” Mer wns, besides his farim, properby in the city, and it is not poverty, but an eccentricity of tasto which has led him to prefer the meat of cats and dogs to that of sheep or heef. 10W/ M8, Phere are 71,637 more boys than girls stiste—whi in the @ Iive Clinton, 10,000 ach, one §20,000, and anothe; combined cost of which is the Three of them cost iree fatte od Mot When Gen.

A three-year-old daughter of Anthony Sage, of Anamosa, went to bed o few nights since in perfect health, and in the morning it was found that she was com- pletely paralized. It is regarded as a very singular case. The Atlas distillery, at Des Moines, was sold by tho assignee at public sale ths other day. There were several bid- dors, but the property was finally knocked down to Jonathan Able, of Chi- cago, en his bid of $29,400.

One lives in the northern part of the State, the other in the southern. Fate had brought them together. There was nothing cordial in the meoting, Thoy didn’t cry out: ““Put it thar!” and pump-handle each other like a couple of old friends. On the con- trary, the young man grew red in the face and breathed hard and stammered out: ““Ten years ago I went to school to u “Yos, you did,” was the calm reply. ““And one day you licked me almost to death for an offence committed by an- other boy.” *“Well, you were always in need of a ing.” ‘‘And Iswore,” continued the young man, *‘Aye, I registered a solemn vow that if I ever met you after I had grown lic up I would have my revenge! Prepare to be pounded to a lifoles masa!” “I'm prepared,” replied the old scheol- master, as he apit on his hands, and in a minute the fun was raging. The young man rushed upon him with a war-whoop, but his nose struck something and he fell down, He got ur and rushed again, and this time he was flung dewn, rolled ever, stepped on and left with a number ef loose teeth and a splitting headache. 1he police teok him in, but when they came to hunt for the old man, he was acress the stree$ trying to pin up & rent in his cont and saying to some of his friemds: *‘Ah! it brings back all the memeries of the old red school house to get my hands ou an unruly pupil in the first reader class again!” — —— Aunt Towzer is delighted to hear that the Princess Boatrico has got cured of her rheumatism by her visit to Aches les Pains, *‘Not as I make it out,” said the dear old lady, reflectively, ‘‘secing as them as goes to the Bad generally goes to the douche.” ARMY O THE POTOMAC.
