Embalming Superseded.
BODIES PRESERVED WITHOUT TIE AID OF
CHEMICALS.

The scientific mtn Of the world have made
many great and noble discoveries for the
benefit Of mankind while alive, as also for
the preservation Of their bodies when dead,
from the destroying clements Of decomposi-
ton In the olden times spirits were used
for the purpose of preserving the corpse
from decomposition but in latter years sci
cncc improved on the method, and the pro-
cess of c;nbalming with chemicals was adopt
ed instead.
In the course of Investigating the destroy
inc element that enter dead bodies, Nr. Pc
ter Craig. undertaken. Market street, per-
ceiving that oxygen was the element that
caused decomposition, it struck him that if
thi, element could be removed from the
coffin. where the body was cncased. that pre-
Scryation would then be certain. How to
accomplish this at first rather puzzled Mr..
Craig But not to be bailled by trile>. he
cave the subject great consideration and
knowing that combustion was caused by the
union Of the carbon Of the material and the
oxYgcn of the air, he tried the experiment
Of using up the oxygen in the ca>ket by
the al! Of lighted candle. He had an air
tieht caskct made. and placed lighted can
de therein; he screwed down the iii perfect
Is air.tisht The candle continued to burn
for eight hours; it then. having consumed
all the oxygen in the interior. was cXtin-
guishcd. This proved the theory; and sat
iSGed hin that he had made an excellent
discovery; but. to carry out his ideas effect
iyelv. he obtained the body Of a dead man
from the coroner and placed It in the coffin,
with the lighted canll" aS before. scrcwing
down the lid, etc. In thi. case the candle
burned for five hours and half. and then
became cxtinguishcd. as before. To test the
case Mr. Craig had the body removed TO i
back room, where i, remained for three
weeks in perfect state Of prcseryatlon.- -
This satisfied him beyond 4 doubt that he
had succeeded in discovering new art.
whereby bodies could be cmbalncd without
the aid of chemicals Atlcr having snrccrd-
cd 50 well with his invention. he drew the
attention Of DR.. Edwin Benty to the pro-
cess. and that gentleman expressed his firm
belief in it, success The new process i t."
be fully tested to-day with the body of Nr.
Gowenback. who died in this city on la>t
Tuesday. and whose body has been preserved
in this w.r 1t i, the intention of this @cnt!c-
mans relative, to have his remains taken
to Scotland. This viii test the process. and.
should it prove satisfactory. which j. not
doubted. Mr. Craig will have added a new
process, or preserving bodies to- a science.

From relilabl, sources we learn of the
Wholesale slaughtering of cattle by Al
berto Carr, and his party. AT one place
there we're 276 carcasses, at another sixty
ak. These robbers seemed to be woll sup
piled with arms and ammunition, rodoo
the cattle and shoot them down in their
tracks until sufficient number is killed
for the day.

The excursionists lived here all right,
They will remain here tonight, and leave
in the morning for Galveston. Every
member of tho party that have heard
speak of it was delighted with the recep-
ton given al Dallas. They say that 1t
WINS the pleasantcst time they have spent
since leaving st. Louis, and peak in high
terms OF Dallas aud her prospects.
