He was placed nnder treatment, bat not fully recovering consciousness tor two days a. further examination was made by SurgeonCo6ke. Then it was found that Somers' neck was broken. The man was of slight build and the fracture was not • very severe one, the only indication of his most serious injury being the amiatural protrudance of two sections of his vertebra* The neck was set and surrounded with piaster. For four months Somers was in a most Critical condition, apparently sinking gradually. His legs and body np to the. center.of his chest were paralysed, though the sense of touch was so far recovered that he could feel a pencil when it was drawn lightly over his right foot. Every indication pointed to his death. • TERRIBLE FATALITY ON THE BOSTON Mo\wt Holly, March 14—Many persons, led by curiosity, walked out to the col-  tags where deud Mary Anderson lay Sunday.

Fasting Five Months. Domeatio Li fee Delphi, Ind., March 14—The case of Mary Baker is attracting attention from doctors. For 150 days, it.is asserted, she has eaten nothing, except a few mouthfuls of food about two weeks ago. She is wasted to a skeleton, and what now sustains life puxzles tho physicians. She is able to talk in a low tone, and her mind is as clear as ever it was. She talks of her condition and is confident that she will not die, although everybody else expects her death dally. She has been promised that in case of death her body shall not be dissected, but shall be buried in a grave, securely protected from grave robbers, this precaution being taken because of many offers from doctors for her corpse.

It was Mrs. Cleveland's wish to spend the entire week at Oak View, but on acoount of urgent buslnlss matters the president wasjUMtble to leave the mansion at nijht until TSH sday. The little holiday has been heartily enjoyed, as this fa really the first time sinoe his marriage that the president has had an experience of anything like domestic life. Mrs. Cleveland has availed lierself of the opportunity to play at housekeeping, and each afternoon upon his return from the White House has prepared some pleasant little surprise for her husband. Tbe immunity from exacting social duties which made great inroads on her time while in Washington baa been an agreeable feature of tbe stay at  View. Mrs. Cleveland baa planned a number of similar little trips, and hopes on the next om to hav* {he company of her mother, after her return to Washington.
