IN HIS THIRTY-"Lose SLEEP.
Jesse Steritt Is Ag:- 2., .‘llyfltel‘loully Slum-
boring.r in Indiana.
COLUMBUS, July 20.——Jesse Steritt has
fallen into another longsleep in Seymour,
Ind, the present. being the third one dur-
ing the past eighteen months. The boy 18
thirteen years old. His first sleep lasted
twenty-one days, and during that time he
could not be aroused, although the most
prominent physicians in Indiana studied
the case and tried to awake him. A few
I months before his first sleep he .fell from a
a barn“ loft and it is thought anured his
spine and this is supposed to be the cause
of his lon slee .
When If”; ranged from his sleep he told
his parents that he had been in heaven and
that he saw his father at work In Illinors,
relating the exact work in which his father
was actually engaged in that state. This,
of course, caused much comment and at-
tracted a great deal of attention to .the
boy. About five months ago he sunk Into
another long slumber, which lasted seven
days. During this time he was v1s1ted by
.hundreds of people from different portions
of the state.
About 11 o’clock Thursday Jesse was
sent to a grocery near by to purchase some
cabbage. He went to the store and got as,
far in the purchase as to say, .“I want,
which he repeated several times,‘then sank
to the floor calling for his mother and was
asleep in a moment. He was conveyed .to
his home, where all efforts to arouse him
are unavailing. It is a most remarkable
case, and has completely puzzled the med-
ical fraternity in this locality.
THE ABSCONDER UNDER ARREST;
A Helpless Cripple Eludes the Detectives
for Four Years.
PHILADELPHIA, July 20.——A. F. Sabine,
resident secretary of the' Guarantee Com-
pany of North America, has received news
of the arrest of J. C. Cullinan, an abscond-
ing agent of the Chicago, St. Louis and
Pittsburg railroad, after a four years’
chase.
The case is a remarkable one for two rea-
sons. Cullinan was almost helpless, hav-
ing but one arm and one leg, and detec-
tives all over the country were looking for
him in order to gain a reward of $1,000;
yet he escaped arrest.
The guarantee company went on his
bond for the railroad to the amount of
81,000. J. Cullinan was the freight and
ticket agent at Globe, 1115., and, it is al-
leged, he got away with $576. The usual
means were taken to capture him. The
police of all the cities were notified and
descriptive circulars were sent all over the
land. Mr. Sabine said that Cullinan was
now in jail in Toronto. He had not de-
cided what to do with him yet. Where he
could have been secreted’and how he could ‘
escape arrest all these years in his crippled
condition is a mystery.
Fell Down Three Stories and Unhurt.
CHICAGO, J uly. 20.—-Two-year-old Elsie
Diette dropped from a third story window
while at play, and Alderman Haines, who
was passing, rushed forward to pick up
her mangled body from the flagstones. To
his amazement the child, seated on the
smashed remains of a window screen, was
cooing and laughing. The little tot had
carried with her the window screen, which
reached the ground first and broke the
force of her fall. A physician was called,
and after examination pronounced the
child to be wholly free from injury.
Four Drowned In a Collision.
LONDON, July 20.—-The German steamer
Dresden, from Bremen for Baltimore with
800 immigrants on board, collided with
the Bristol brig Annie Harris of? Start
Point. The Annie Harris sank immeo
diately before assistance could be given.
Four of her crew were drowned. The cap
tain and more were saved. An examina-
tion of the sIeaIner showed that she had
sustained no damage sufficient to prevent
her from proceeding. The Dresden placed
the surv1vors of the Annie Harris on board
a fishing smack.
