HI EAT ANYTHING. Enough T run it Wan in Hi* Stomach to Stock a Junk Shop. New York. Oct. 24.—-A post mortem held on the body of John B. Woodley, who died in the Flatbush asylum for the insane, developed a curious state of affairs. Woodley was a colored man 41 years old, who bad been an inmute of the asylum for four years. When ho was working about the grounds his fellow workmen noticed that he was continually picking up stones and toss ing them in the air or putting them in Ins mouth to chew on. It is said that he could break an ordinary stone with his teeth without apparent effort, and he frequently told his associates that if he was ever to get very hungry he could eat coal and live. About a year ago he had a tussle with one of the nurses for the possession of a silver watch rlmm, and becoming al most frantic Woodley got possession of the chain, a id. putting it in his mouth, chewed it vigorously while he ran and dodged the mtr.»e. That was the last seen of the chain. It was on the re- qu-kt of the nurse who thought that he might regain nis chain that the post mortem was held. Dr. Fleming, point ing toward a glass jar standing oil the mantelpiece, said : "We didn’t got any jewelry out of him, but if you will look in that jar you will notice that we got enough tin, stone, coal and old nails and otner trash out of his stomach to stock a toy junk shop.* OFFICIAL COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.
