DAILY ENQUIRER ■ SUN: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 3, 1886.
A MAN WITHOUT BONES.
Cm bi> Tied In n Knot
Carpet.
K«lt<‘d I p l.lkr
“ I used to hunt moonRhincrHin thi 1 Ken-
toc.kv mountains as n deputy United .States
marshal,” salda Ixiulsville, Ky., Rontloman
to a Now York Star reporter. “ My last
trip was made two years atfo as n member
of a nosse of marshals who prowled around
In the vicinity of Barbourvllle. Ky. It was
on that trip that I saw a man without a
bone in his lmdy—a man who could be.
flattened out like a pancake and rolled up
like a carpet. For the truth of what I’m
going to tell you now I shall refer you to
United States Marshal Isaac Arbuckle, of
Carter county, Kentucky.
“We had made a revenue raid, without
ceaa, and our ]torse separated to return to
Barbourvllle by different routes to avoid
•napicion. We were not to return the same
day, either, and I was told to wait awhile
before going back to the village. I spent
the first night after the raid in the cabin
of a poor farmer among the hills. During
the conversation in the evening, in which
I took part, some one incidently spoke of
Hector Davis, the ‘man without bones.’ I
asked what was meant by that expression,
and w as told that Hector Davis was ‘one
of our neighbors, three miles up the road,
who hasn’t a bone in his body/ I laughed
at the statement, but iny Ihost volun
teered to show me over the hills to Hector
Davis’ home. I promised to go, expecting
to see a rustic contortionist or a sick man.
“We knocked at the Davis cabin about 0
o’clock next, morning. The first thing I
saw upon entering the door was a middle-
aged man sitting upright in a rude invalid’s
chRir. A framework attached to tpe back
of the chair supported his head. He was
introduced to me by my guide. Rufus I’ick-
well, as Hector Davis. I entered into con
versation with the man and found him to
be as well informed as any of the mountain
farmers. His voice was firm, but not very
loud. I grasped his hand when introduced,
but I dropped it lively. His fingers rolled
■p together like so many bands, lie in
vited me to take hold of his limbs, and
they yielded to pressure until flattened to
twice their proper width. The only indi
cation of bone was bis skull, and that,
could be depressed, but if done it
gave the poor fellow much pain.
Tlis neck was as limber as a rag,
and his head, when released from the
frame, rolled helplessly about on bis
shoulders. His arms hung at his side, but
he could not raise the forearms up a trifle.
There was no strength in his wrists, and
when the arms were raised the hands
curled very limply. ' Davis shuffled off his
slipper mu’! asked me to step on bis foot. I
did so and it, flattened out like rubber. It
took several minutes for it to resume its
natural shape, and it was half an hour be
fore he could put on his slipper.
‘“Perhaps you would like to'tie my leg in
a knot?’ said he. Piekwell and myself
found no difficulty in performing this feat,
bat we bail to untie the knot soon, because
it prevented circulation in the limb. We
also tied knots in his arms. I began to
to think I had seen enough. T bad some
thing of the feelings of a man after attend
ing a spiritualist sen nee. But 1 had not,
seen the most wonderful exhibition of
bonelessness.
“‘Can you lay me down on the floor?’
asked Davis, wo did, hut it was no easy
task, for Iuh body si I oped in all directions.
We secured Arm grips upon his clothing
and kept him from falling. Piekwell bad
assisted at this performance before. After
laying him down on the clean rag carpet
my com million seized a barrel, which I
afterward learned contained turnips, and
proceeded to roll it over the prostrate
Davis from his toes to his chin. The only
manifestation of distress or pain shown
was when the barrel rolled across his chest.
The barrel left, Davis in a horrible shape.
He was literally ‘flat os a pan-cake.’ But
this was not all. ‘Roll me up, Rufus,’ said
the boneless horror. Immediately Pick-
Well doubled Davis’ head over on his chest
and then continued to roll him up like a
big door mat. When his feet wore reached
Davis looked llko an armadillo, and he
soon asked to be unrolled again.
“While the mail’s body was resuming its
natural shape I learned from his old spec
tacled mother, who sat in a rooking chair
near by knitting, though apparently not
liking the exhibition, that her son was
forty years old. He had enjoyed perfect
health until two years before, when his
hands and feet gradually became numb
and weak. Then the bones began to
soften and this spread rapidly to all parts
of bis anatomy. Beyond making him
helpless he never experienced any incon
venience from the strange affliction. All
his vital organs performed their functions
B ropcrlv and the mother believed that
eetor would.live to a good old age.”
Too Much of u llooil Tiling,
Boston Herald.
Perhaps in no way do so many other
wise sensible people make fouls <>r them
selves at in the way in which they try to
look mil for the future of their children.
The high road t.o happiness those deluded
parents believe, can only He; in the abun
dance of things the little ones possess.
Instead of one extemporized m - doll, why
twenty elaborate dolls with wax faces,
Tolling eyes and tv plain' ive squeak in tic
pit of the stomach, and the same with the
supply of sleds, tops, balls and marbles.
Only stimulate greed enough in the youth
ful mind and feed the. passion every fifteen
minutes with something new, and a peren
nial state ot inward blessedness must lie t he
result. Now, no doubt, this receipt is a
capital one for rearing a class of girls that
will be above marrying any man who can
not steadily stimulate them with a whirl of
dresses, dinners, carpets and amusements,
and of men who, if they ever have influ
ence or brains enough to secure them a fat
S lace of trust, will develop into first-class
efaulters. It takes a great deal of his
own, and, if ho lacks it, other people’s
money, to run a man who is predisposed
to feel languid, or even depressed in spirits,
whenever it does not chanife to rain cham
paigns, woodcocks, polo, casinos and cn-
melios. Take, for example, the lost case
of wholesale defalcation that, has excited
Boston, and been for the past few days the
town talk. Whereas, the ordinary, well-
regulated mind, if addicted to poultry, finds
happiness in one Shanghai or Dorking
rooster and his harem of a dozen liens;
here was a man that was
SUPREMELY WRETCHED
unless he could own every kind of a hen
the perverse ingenuity of cross-breeders
had tortured out of the original stock.
Somebody must pay for them or personal
unhappiness would be sure to ensue. Next
it was flowers that struck his all-devouring
fancy. Sinull blame to them for that! In
deed, what a world of .satisfaction many a
man gets out of his little beds of li lies,
heliotropes and roses. But such pitiful
pleasures as these, how beneath so much
as contempt were they to the oceanic floral
cravings of the gentleman in question.
Nothing short of every flower that blooms
on the brink of the glaciers of the Alps or
in the torrid juilgles of India would do.
All this, of course, necessitated a great va
riety of climatic conditions in the way of
glass houses to shelter them, ' as
likewise a great variety of money, as would
be found, should the question of its right
ful ownership ever be pointedly mooted;
Next, horses and carriages took their turn
in ruling this imperial imagination, and
after that yachts. . Now horses alone have
run away with many a man. Are there
not Morgans and Blaekhawks and a dozen
other breeds? Are there not trotters and
pacers and rockers and no end to subtle
aatanic devices in the way of pbietons and
broughams and sulkies and dog-car is.
Why not, then, stop there and leave yachts
alone? How Illogical the question! Fust,
because horses uro only U3iful by land,
and, second, because the ocean is too illim
itable and sublime an element to be dis
graced by punts and oatboats. Moreover
the ocean has perils and hardships that
NEED TO BE MITIGATED
by luxurious state rooms, champagne sup
pers and lots of jolly fellows; and so, again,
the question of a scarcity of money gets
started in the mind, and new light is cast
upon financial claims to which the treas
urers of great manufacturing ,conc6rns are
exposed.
As any thoughtful man watches the rate
at which life is nowadays lived by so many,
the wonder ought not to be that there are
such numbers of infamous defalcations,
but that they do not come in avalanches.
The power of extracting rich and abiding
satisfaction out of a few objects and a few
intimate companions seems to be fast lie
coming a lost art, Hnd a diseased mental
restlessness is setting in that is laying the
ax at the root of all tranquil enjoy
ment of domestic, social and literary
life, and of simple happiness in nature,
books and friends. At any rate, this holds
true of a large class that seerfis to be the
especial envy of those of smaller means.
It is a pity that envy cannot be made to
subserve a higher nnd more rational end.
The true man to envy is the one who, with
an observing eye, an alert mind, a genuine
enthusiasm for beauty, and flO in his
pocket, shows the world how to get more
delight and inspiration out of a short vaca
tion than a dozen average bankers can ex
tract from the costliest yachts and the
most stylish four-in-hands, even though
paid for with the stocks-of widows and
orphans. Of all the high roads to utter
poverty, there is none equal to insisting on
owning everything. A man really owns
only so much as he can nestle into the in
most heart of.

Washington. August 31.—The Capital
to-day Bays: “The accounting officers of
the treasury department are hi some doubt
ns to what they will do with the accounts
of certain public officers who have been
I appointed by the president siiioe congress
i adjourned. They are those whose noniina-
j lions were not acted on by the senate. It
is understood to be held by the republican
senators that section 60 of the tcnurc-of-
offloe act prevents the reappointment of a
man appointed to fill a vacancy before the
late sesBfonof the senate whose nomination
was not noted upon. The president has,
however, reappointed a number of men
who were in that eonflition. It
is understood that he examined the
law in the ease carefully before doing
so and that he rests his right to make these
appointments upon the last clause of tho
second seel ion of the second article of the
constitution, namely : ‘The president shall
have the power to ill] up all vacancies that
may happen during the recess of the sen- I
lite by granting commissions which shall
expire at the end of tin. ir next session.’
“Tlie construction put upon the words
‘that may happen’ by the president is un-]
derstood to give them the effect of (he I
words ‘that may happen to exist.’ This
bus been held to be their real meaning by |
the department of justice under several ad
ministrations since* the tonure-of-offiae act
was passed. But some of the accounting !
officers of the treasury are not quite cev- !
tain thul it would be safe for them to ap
prove the accounts of officers of this cln&s \
under section 1762, revised statutes, which t
provides an imprisonment of more than
ten years or n fine of not more than .fl0,000, !
or both, for .allowing the nceounts of per
sons appointed contrary to the provisions
of the tonurc-of-offlce act.”
