Clairvoyant Mary Foretells Doctor Hathaway's Fate in New York
A Rahway resident recalls a post, 1845 boarding-house case where a blind clairvoyant named Mary predicted doom for Dr. Hathaway, a U.S. Army surgeon. After his death, a postmortem revealed the brain damage she described, matching the doctor’s fatal outcome and sparking eerie parallels with the clairvoyant’s words.

Fragmented tale and clues from a curious era
A garbled mix of quotes, anecdotes, and notices spans politics, travel, and society. It references trials, suits, and debates with scattered names, places, and events, including a city grant tale, a Jewish cornerstone, and rail yard narratives. The piece reads as a collage of overheard conversations and mock reportage.
Stock Swindles and a Dognapped Plot Mentioned in Chronicle
A San Francisco Chronicle writer mocks stock mania and publicity foibles as a woman, emboldened by a daring plan, steals a friend's dog to pressure her husband for money. The tale shifts to patriotic reminiscence and a playful, patchwork reminiscence of historical figures, dogs, books, and a birthday note to Washington.

The Congo Future and Leo Poulville Visions
An OCR fragment describes a distant terrace scene with vivid but garbled imagery of Brae on a terrace, grass, pillars, and a pale redoubt. The narrator notes a sense of unease, mentions the dome of Leopold, and references political or colonial tones with a misread treasury, Cayo, and a “New State Stanley” amid a troubled urban landscape.
