Pierced Both Lobe) of Brain.
Coroner Koehler held an inquest yester
day npon the remains of Mrs. Benjamin
I. Jones, the colored woman who died at
2:40 o'clock yesterday morning with a
self-inflicted wound in the head, made
eight days ago with an ice-pick. The
jury Tendered a verdict of suicide, add
ing that the act. was evidently done
while the woman was irresponsible. No
new evidence was introduced at the in
quest, excepting that of Dr. Barber,
who, with the assistance of Dr. Harry
McKay, made a post-mortem examin
ation. It was discovered then that the
ice-pick had passed completely through
both hemispheres of the brain and come
within a fraction of an inch of touching
the opposite side of the skull. The brain
substance was found very much torn
and a hollow with a blood c'ot existed in
the left side, this being probably due to
the passage of the pick when Mr. Jones
drew it forth. During the time that
Mrs. Jones lay unconscious at the hos
pital, Dr. Barber expressed the opinion
that she might have recovered, bad the
instrument been clean and Iree from
rust, but, after he saw the way in which
the brain had been torn, he admitted
that she never had a chance of recover
ing. The case in its many aspects is
considered as a very remarkable one,
and will be fujly discussed in reports by
physicians. Oregoman. .. u
Plan of Kansas Populists.
The Populist leaders of Kansas are
now discussing the propriety of passing
a bill in the next legislature making
Mexican dollars legal tender for the pay
ment of all -debts in Kansas. It would
seem that the 'plan meets with great
favor, as it is championed by some of
the prominent candidates for the United
States senate.-
Of course, no such law could be made
applicable to contracts or obligations en'
tered into prior to its passage, and it is
eyen doubtful whether a state could
make any 'other than the lawful money
of the United Sates a legal tender for the
payment of debts, but the passage of
' such an act would be notice to every
man who owns an honest dollar that he
must invest it some place else than in
the state of - Kansas. Philadelphia

EASTERN QUESTION TO UK SttTILEO
European Power - Have Reached an.
Agreement.
London, Dec. 9 The Birmingham
Post today confirms the repeated state
ments on the same enhjert j-'abinl by the
Associated Press during the pst two
months in saying that it learns from a
high quarter that an understanding has'
been arrived at between Great Britain,'
Russia and France for the settlement of
the so-called Eastern' question, which
has for generations been troubling the
statesmen of Europe.
The Post -adds that the Russian Black
sea fleet and the British and French
Mediterranean fleets will shortly be
mobilized in contiguity to the Bos
phorous and Dardanelles in order to en
force, if necessary, the reforms which
the embassies of the three powers are
about to present to the sultan, and to
which the other signers of the Berlin
treaty Germany, Austria and Italy
have consented. To this end it isas
serted the allied fleets may force a pas
sage of the straits of the Dardanelles.
