L'UHiADK?ruiA, November IO.-Tito
medical profession of this city uro inter
ested in it remarkable cuso wliicli is now
engaging tho uttoution t>f tltrco of tho
most eminent professora iii the Universi
ty of Pennsylvania. Tlioro is probably
nt> parallel fcconleil in thc books, ?inti
tlio long disoussctl question of pre-natal
inlbience has rcccivctl n corroboration
that cannot 1 ?nt fail tt> convinco its most
skeptical opi>ouont8. Tho case is inter
esting, not univ t<> mctlical nun, but tu
tito public generally, inasmuch as it re
lates a strange story ?ol how greet! for
wealth anti fame caused two persons lo
imporil two lives.
Antoine llelliui, a ( ?entu se, known iu
tho show business as Tony Lkilloiitinc,
was marrietl lifteoil years ago tt) Maria
Griggs, who was thou it bareback rider
in Robinson's circus. Bellini was un
acrobat. \it? r (hoir murringo tho pair
went to langland and from tlicncc to
I'ranee, where they engaged in their re
spective lines of business. They re
turned to America in 1870. At that limo
there was a great demand among pro
prietors of side-shows and must nins for
freaks. Millio Christine, tho two-headed
girl, was at tli.it time Hilder tho manage
ment of Wilburn Smith, and was draw
ing a weekly salary ol sl'M), Charley
Tripp, the armies- mau, and Ann Leake,
tho armless woman, were receiving thc
extraordinary salary of 8200 o w eek cadi.
Thoso remarkable little dwarfs, know n
as thc Wild Men of Bnruco, wera' bring
ing in u weekly income ?,i ??$000 to their
manager. Even tho As nee children, Tom
and Hattie, were valuable pieces of
property, mid readily commanded ttbattt
tho same sum.
A UOIUtlULK IDIiA.
Lt was in tho carly pari ct* LS77 when
Uellini lu came iiiibiu d with the Iden that
there was au immense fortune awaiting
tho mau who could produce a freak that
should eclipso all other freaks cither in
hideousness or oddity. With this thought
uppermost Bellini subjected himself to a
most painful mutilation. Ho scared and
burned his thumb and thc three lingers
on each side of his index fingers with
sulphuric acid, suffering the most agon
izing pinn. Iiis intent was to cause thc
thumb and lingers to slough oft", anti, in
credulous as it may appear, bc endured
thc torturo for nearly a week. Ho was
then taken lo n privait hospital on Wost
Forty-ninth street, Now York, by Iiis
own request, and there asked that the
mutilated portion of his hands bo am
putated. This was refused, ami an ellorl
was made to heal np tho .-ore. hut
Bi ilini was persistent, and upon tho ab
solute refusal of tho surgeons to do what
hu wanted them to du, he loft tho hos
pital, and, either by threats or entrea
ties, induced ins wife lo perform thc
operation that ibo New York surgeons
refused to consider. Ho came to Phila
delphia, and for nearly n year lived iu
thu southern section of the city, rmbsist
ing upon thc little hoard thal ho had
managed to save in Knglund.
in tho spring of 1878 Bellini oponed
what is known in Philadelphia as a
"hummer shop," that is,ngroggory whore
whiskey i; sold for from turco to six
cents a gloss. His hands hud then healed
up and pi c M uted a most cn' ions- appear
ance. There was nothing but one long
linger lo each of thom, and tho lip hail
.'.cen so broadened by usc as to give
them tho appearance of tho head of nu
adder. By means of hand hills Bellini
advertised himself throughout thc
neighborhood ns thc snake-linger niau;
und people came from great distances to
seo bim. Ho managed to obtain several
engagements with small aide-shows trav
eling with I lui nilli!*:; circus, but the
freak market was then pretty well Hood
ed, and lie did uot begin to realize what
Ito thought ht would.
rf.lt l- l .CT HOM,NTH' ltAU.Mt'N v.
H was at this time thal Bellini entered
into a most extraordinary compact with
ins wife. Ho was a mn ii of some little
education, and, having .studied for thc
medical profession in his carly youth,
iiati a .smattering of physiology and
anatomy. Mrs. Bellini was so thorough
ly in accord with her husband's ideas
that she w.is perl? eily willing to become
tin: mother oi fl tuonstro tty, if nature
could lie coerced into bringing forth
sueli ab unnatural being. Boitin] manu
factured n hideous looking adair, wliicli
might resemble either an alligator ?tr n
Chinese idol, and for several weeks in
succession ho would awaken Iiis wife
?l'Oni a sound stet p und suddenly thrust
thia uncanny object in front Of nor. in
December, 1878, tho woman gave birth
to a malo child. Ji was perieotly formed
and far moro beautiful as to its physical
development than either lather or moth
er. Bollini then realized that tho theory
wliicli ho bad formed was wrong, bc
causo thc mother was prepared for tho
surprises and it made no menial im
pression upon nor. Bellini tie ii told Inn
wifo that he would abandon this iden
and that they would thereafter gain their
living outside ol thc show business, This
waa only a blind, Ninctcon months after
tho birth of tho first child Mrs. Bellini
was called to tin front door one day,
and when she opened it she was con
froritcol by n most repulsive object, it
was a blind man w hose sightless orbs
woro turned towards her eye -, ami whoso
outstretched hands each clutched a
writhing .snake. The woman started
back in affright amt foll in i faint in tho
entry. Win n she recovered tho blind
mun ami his snakes lind disappeared,
but thc woman s husband cullie into tho
house a few moments afterward*, his
face beaming With plonsttro. The day
slipped by and tho Bnnko-fingor mun
saiti nothing further about tho agree
ment he liad made .some two years be
fore.
T1IIC STARTLING ItEBUt/T,
Mrs. Bellini fora second timO became
il motlier. Uer chiltl was a girl ami e.
most extraordinary creature Not only
wu? it sightless, hut that pori ion of thc
face where thc eyes ought to bo was ns
Hinootli as thc palm of a /nan's liam).
Pr. .Ballard, who was thc accoucheur
was so interested in thc case that ho Called
in two other physic.ans, Pr. A. H.
.Brown and George M. Hatton. Tho lit
de stranger was not only totally blind,
Huit ils hands were strangely malformed.
There Morned to bo simply on elonga
tion of the forearm, a .straight piuco nf
lb li ending in a linger nail. There wa.,
CC joint, anti tho only movement that
the child Could make was at tho wrist,
ft was determined ut ibo expiration of
six weeks to perform an operation on
the child's face and to out into tho (leah
under th" frontal bones of tho skull, to
fpo whether tho child by ibis means
Could bo given its sight. Bellini lind
boon very assiduous bl bia attention to
Iiis wife and babe, and when this BUK?
gestion was broached to bim ho modo
tuc int'-A strenuous ?.'ejection. Tile doe
tors thought that tho mun was either
drunk or ornzy, and by a olovor strata
gem une day manage I to got bini to
take ;i trip to a distal.? part of tho eily,
During hm absence tito operation wos|
performed, but to tho intense amaze
ment of tito Surgeons there was no eye
ball underneath tho Mesh. Upon Bellini's
return bo boeamo furious when bo
h amed what had taken place, but cooled
dow u ami exhibited tho greatest joy
win n told that Iiis child was sightless
and would ever lie so. He then con
fessed to Dr. Mallard that it bad been ids
wish and desiro for years to beconu the
father of almost any monstrosity timi
would excito tho attention of tho medical
profession and the publie. tie had
hoped, lie said, thal thu babe aright bc
oven more of a monster, but that bo was
very well satisiicd as it was. Strangely
enough ids wife appeared to bc as mach
pleased as be, aud begged thal thc sur
geons should muko no at Iciupl to inter
fere with Ibu extraordinary malforma
tion. Thc ease became known among
tho associates of the two physicians who
weri> in attendance, and the ohild was
carefully watched from Ibo tinto of its
bi lib until now. Last week Cellini and
tli" blind snuko-ilugeved child, together
willi tho motlier appeared before a clinic
whore tho strange story was told, and
now for the first time it is mittle public
