THE THE DOCTORS ARE PUZZLED, A Remarkable Caso of Catalepsy Brought to Their Attention. MISS MAMIE MARK'S CONDITION, The Polack Results n Verdiet for Plamtift—rhe Btate Convention of Bankera Cose a A Remarkable Oase. A remarkable casa of catalepsy, or sus- pended animation, has just been reported, which has puzzled the local medical fra- ternity on account of an unusual change in the temperature of the body of the patient wnd the lack of cause for it. On Friday evening at 9 o'clock Dr. Bprague was called to the residence of John G. Mark, at Thirty-ninth and Leavenworth, to attend his daughter, Miss Mamie “Mark, n school girl of thirteen or fourteen years. The child came home from school last Thursday complaining of fatigue ana general listlessness, On Fri- day she took to her. bed, sank into uncon- sciousness, and when the physician arrived the father was about to startout to an under- taker's office, thinking that the child was dead. Tne doctor found that respiration had consed, and thut the child was apparontly dead. The temperature at this time had sunk to two and a half degrees below nor- mal, but by 10 o'clock Saturday morning the temperature had returned to normal and the body was warm, There was no evidences of rigor mortis and the Freuch test of hold- inig two closed Hugers before tho lignt showed that circulation had not ceased. A 1l vein in the arm was opened und slowly ©00z2d v'ood, proving further thut the blood was still in ulation. The arms from the elbows down were cold. but the lips con- tained blood and tue flesh recovered itself when pressed in by the finger. The doctor had the body wrapped 10 warm blankets and surrounded by pottles of hot wator, 1n order to preserve the animal heat 1 the body as long as possible, There 18 but ono theory in regard to this case, and that is hoart failure. ‘The case is Vi peculiar one, and the outcome 18 being watched by the physicians with great antereat, although unfortunately they have little bope for the child’s ultimate recovery. The Polack case came to an end in the United States court yesterday afternoon at Bo'elock. The jury rendered a verdict in favor of Polack as follows : Sun Fire Insurance Co., London. Marine of St. Paul, Niagara....... Hartford Boylson North Brittain Queen. Khode Is| Total.. Judge Dundy £ S 8 vory cnergetic one. 1o asserted thut the evidence of Johnson was not to be considered ns revarded the matter in question between Fisher and Jobnson. If the jury believed either of the two it was at sea. If the jury thought Polack had set fire to his own Dbuilding a verdiet i accordance with the fuicts should be returned, but the facts must be considered. T'he evidence was such that one must believe that an effort had been made to extort money from one side or the other, or there had not. Tho testimony of leechies was not to be considered, ——————— Closed by Ureditors. The clgar store ou Thirteenth strect, near Farnam, known as the “Little Gold Dust,” has been closed by reason of an attachment gotten out by G. H. Mack, the cigar dealer on Farnam, near Thirteenth street. Mr. Will L. Scism, the proprictor of the store, bought it of Kaufian, Davis & Rees about six months ago, and has been buying goods of Mack ever since. Some time ago he gave Mack a note for $240, which is due in sixty days from this time. Owing to dull trade Scism was not able to meet his pay- ment of the December rent wheu it became aue on December 1, ana obtaned a post- ponement. Iu the meantime Mack attempted to collect on the above note, but puyment was refused, as it was not due. Mack threatened to get out an_attachment, Secism consulted the Omaha National bank, which holds his note for $2,100, on which there is $500 stiil due, and was agvised to let Mack gc ahead, although the bank offered to advance him money if he wanted it. He acted on the ad wice of the bank and Mack served his attach- ment yesterday. The tota) indebtedness is less than $900, including the note held by the bank, and the Btock invoiced $1,600 a few weeks ugo. B To Knock Out | oultry Dealer: *'You have not yet measured the de) the move to compel butchers or meat dealers to pay a licenso of §100 per year,” said a meat man yesterday. “Do you kunow that if this ordinauce is passed, it will compel grocers who sell chickens, turkeys and salt meat to go out of the business. Well, such 18 the case, You know much of thnis stuff issold. Of course, whilo tho selling by grocers is a couvenience to the cousumer, 1t is objected to by the butchers. It is this trade the butehers want to kill, not the men who attempy, without ice, to ran their markets during the winter, You can easily $00 how the peoplo of this city would be dis- commoded, and what a monopoly these butebers would have if the license ordinance should obtaim." e st W.

Miss Carter's Thoater Party. Miss Lulu Carter gave a dehightful theater party last evemng, “Thore were twenty-four ladies and gentlomen in the party. They oc- cupled the four boxes at Boyd’s, which were prettily decorated with roses and smilax, and enjoyed the performance hugely. After the performance the party adjourned to the wfo of the Paxton, where an elaborate menu was discussed. The table was hand- somely decorated with smilax and roses, ‘whicli, with the elegant hand painted dinner service, made a most pleasing setting for the charming costumes of the ladies. «The fuuu were Mrs, Clement Chuse, Mrs. D, 1.

Bits of history and side description facts were 80 thrown in as 10 udd to the papers. Miss Lobman outlined the work of the evening with great force and distinctness, telling how the great city fought her special battle, sowing the wind and reaping the whirlwind, wearing her soul out by factious struggles, at last making her great stand for iifo and frecdom, ana losing tho cast, but not without honor. Miss MeShune introduced her hearers to Dante's Florence, 1 which the grand figure of tho poet stood near the beginning of the most artistic and important period ot Floren~ tine history. Miss McCreary discoursed on its palaces and churchies, Passing over the elaborate interior magnificence of these ‘‘poems in store,” she spoke only of what is likely to strike t of un observant tourist.

With others, I appeared before the council and objected to such an assessment as illegal and inequitable as well as injudicious, InJuly, 1588, an ordinance was drawn which has never been repealed, requiring the costs of all future improve- ments to be assessed on all ad- joining property to the alleys or middle of the blocks on each side of the stroets, Following this assessments to puy for all of the grading and other improve- ments were mude on adjucent property. “'Ihen the statement, that Mr. Rufferty’s assessment is greater thau mine is not only misleading but absolutely false, The rule adopted {or the assessuwient is that abutting property shall be assessed 8314 per cent, the next lot 20 per cent, the next lot 163 per cent and the three following lots 10 per cent cach.

TURNING STATE'S EVIDENCE, Several of the Colorado White Capy Weaken and Conf LYORE, Colo,, Dee. 2lL.—|Special Tele- m to Tne Bk |—At the opening of the court this morning in the White Cap case Judge Glynn swore in ten special deputies 1o preserve order. Late lust uight the rumor gained ground that some one of the defend- ants was squealing on the Whito Cappers. A great commotion was noticed among the friends of the prosceutors und also those of the defendants and it was soon ascertained by Tne Bee correspondent that Oswald Herzig was closcted with the attorneys for the prosecution and piving mformation that will be startling when it becomes public. It became evident this morning that the information voluntecred by Herzig was im- portant from the fact that the court poinuted a special deputy to guard him, was done upon a motion by the district attorney. Ono other party has today given nformation who was cognizant of the action of the White Caps, and the state- ment made s elaimed by the prosecution to corroborate the statements made by Herzig. Tn view of the fact that parties had turned state's evidence the district attorney early this morning moved for additional bonds for the defendants, which wmotion was eranted by the court, and the special deputies were ordered to take the defendants into custody until they furnished the additional bonds. Up to late this evening the defendants are still in the custody of the officers und ure trying to make arrangements to give a joiat bond in the sum of §5,000. The most of the time was consumed today in arguing the defendants’ motion that each bo given a separate trial. Tho district at- torney, Garrigues, spent. sowme time arguing against the motion, ahow is opi ion the guilt or wnocéne would not be affected by a jointtrial. James Donavan,attorney forthe defendants, pleaded At length for a separate trial. The court in passing upon the motion said that the defendants wero not entitled to a sever- ance as a matter of right; that it lay wholly within the discretion of the court, and that in his judgment the defendants had failed to make such a showing as would entitle them to a severamce, Ho thercupon overruled the motion. The attorney for the prosecu- tion then moved for a consolidation of the four cases, to be tricd tooneiury, which motion was granted:” As tho case now stands theroe are four separate informations filed against each defendant, to be tried as one case to one jury. % It is supposed that two days will bo used in securing a jury. The subpawnas for the witnesses for tho peoplo have been 1ssued returnablo on Thurscay of next week. A question uroso as to whether each dofondant was entitled to a separate per-emptory chal- lenge, or whether the court should compel them 10 unite in such challenge. The court took the matter under advisement until Monday at 9 a. m. Judge Glynn is going very carefully and deliberately into the watter, and his de- cisions are giving general satisfaction. The excitemeut is running high tonight, ocea- sioned 1rom parties turning state’s evidence, and the rumor gaming ground that other ar- rests would be made, basing such actiou upon information obtained by this new evi- dence. — A LAWYER'S PREDICAMENT.
