A MARROW ESCAPE PROM BURIAL
ALIVE. family named Woods living
in White Pigeon, Ind. came very near
having funeral the other day, before
they had corpse. A Miss Woods,
aged 19, was laid out in grave-clothes
and placed in coffin. Her grave WAS
dug, and church at White Pigeon was
opened for the purpose of holding funer-
al services. The hour came for leaving
the house, and with il came the under
taker with has screw-driveT. He looked
at Miss Woods face, and thought he
saw signs of life fitting thereon he
thought this so strongly that he refused
to screw down the cotfin-lid. 1t WAS
arranged that the coffin should he placed
open in the hesrse, and that the funeral
procession should move to the church at
White Pigeon, SO as to lose no time, and
not keep the minister aud grave-diggers
waiting. At the church the coffin was
taken into private room, accompanied
by the pareuts Of the girl and two or
three friends After a short examina-
ton it appeared that the four-mile jol-
ting on the way to the grave had stirred
up good deal of life in the young lady,
and it was very evident she was not rea-
dy 10 bury. The doctor called it a
trance or case suspended animation.
The parents told the preacher to pocket
his funeral sermon, the grave-digger to
fill up the grave and the hearse and
coffin and undertaken to go their way
rejoicing, while they went home and
gave their daughter dinner of her own
Funeral baked meats" AT last &C
counts the Woods family had not had
their funeral, and the parents and child
were doing well.

REMARKABLY AN1MALs.-Hartford ha

REMARKABLY ANIMALS -Hartfordh has
a dog that always rides home on horse
car from his owners store, knowing just
where to stop. He also rides down in the
morning to the store all alone. Hartford
has also horse owned by J.k. Wheeler,
of 433 Main street which is SO shart that
at night he will unite his halter, using
his teeth for the purpose and going to
the stable door will lift first one and then
hook out of the staple (the hooks are near
the top and bottom OF the door, and
pushing open the door and going out, will
have high old time, after midnight, all
by himself. He will kick up his heels and
have big run, and then be ready to
return to the stable. Once, when he had
gone off at rafting gallop down to the
drinking fountain in front of the State
house, and had good drink, he was re-
turning at a tearing rate Main street is
deserted at the time he selects for his
rolics), his owner ran out in front of
him and hitinghis hand, shouted" Whoa!"
The horse, in his haste to stop, tumbled
over and turned a somersault

i LONG WALK N HIS SLEKP-A Hart

that he had sometimes walked about the

A WELL ExPLoDEs-The Rochester
Express says: "a very remarkable ex-
plosion occurred on Tuesday morning at
the house of Walter Cook, about one
mile from West Bergen, on the Lower
Line road. Underneath the back kitchen
in the house is well, and when the
servant girl arose in the morning she
went in there to get pail Of water.
Immediately after the opening of the
door terrible explosion ensued, the
house being torn almost to pieces. The
windows ard doors blown out, and the
lath and plaster we're torn off. The
amount OF damage was $1,000. 1t is
supposed that the gas which exploded
was from the old we'll under the back
kitchen, which is about Is feet deep.
The girl and boy were considerably
stunned by the shock, but no one else
was injured"

TICKLE FORTUNE.
The Dirtiest Han in Montana Falls Heir
TO $4,000

For the past FIVE or six years, says
the Helena Herald, there has been
around the streets Of Helena dirty,
degraded-looking specimen of humanity,
Robert Nelson by name, yet universally
known SIS ''Mountsin Dew" He could
not be called vasabond, for he was al
ways ready TO clean streets. saw wood,
or any labor where dollar was in sight.
yet he managed to earn enough to keep
hunger from the door. Many wonder
ed that long ago he did not fail back
upon the county for support. His CHEZ
ambition seemed TO be a desire to be
known as the ''dirtiest man in Montana. "
Wretchdly filthy, from the crown of his
head to the soles Of his feet-so dirty
and greasy that stranger to see him
once would always remember the ap-
partition Robert Nelson is now wealthy
1t seems that in early days Robert found
himself IN Boise, Idaho. Times we're
flush, Mountain Dew" was lucky, and
fIom his earnings he sent home to his
lather IL missouri s., 900 to invest for
him. Luck turned; Nelson got broke
and went to Montana. For several years
he has been trying TO realize something
from the money he sent his father, yet
he-never could get any satisfaction, and
be was too poor TO go East to see about
il. However, a short time since a let
ter reached him, stating that his father
had died, and tina. real estate and other
property to the amount of $50, 900 had
been left TO him. Thursday a draft for
s400 came On for the heir Yesterday
was a great day for Robert. He bought
& suit Of fashionable clothing, took a
bath, got his hair cut and his mustache
dyed. and il Is fact that not one in ten
knew the transformed figure and feat
ures Of Mountain Dew" 4 through
ticket &c Omaha was procured, and this
morning Nelson left Helena on the Over
land for his old home in Missouri.

TERRIBLE DIAsTER AT REUNION
One Of the loveliest islands of the East
has just suffered tremendous misfor-
tune. An enormous landship Of earth and
rocks occurred near St. Denis, in the is
land Of Reunion, over an extent of 2 klo-
metres, which buried no fewer than sixty
two persons under mass Of ruin 80 me-
tres in depth, and OF course destroyed
everything within its range. This land

succeeded only in bringing up a bell,
