EXCITEMENT OVER A CoRPsE IN CENTRE
WHEELING. Considerable excitement
prevailed throughout the city yesterday
morning over the report that woman
in Centre Wheeling, who was supposed TO
have died on Wednesday, had returned
to consciousness shortly before the hour
set Tor the funeral. As is always the case,
various rumors were atloat concerning
the matter, all Of them differing widely
except upon the one point that the WON.
an had miraculously "come TO life" just
in time TO prevent the coffin lid from being
closed upon her forever.
The reporter, ever upon the alert for
a sensation, sharpened his pencil and SET
out TO visit No. IS, 9th street, the place
designated as the residence of the lady.
Mrs. Elizabeth Steck, for that was her
name, died Of heart disease at o'clock
Wednesday morning, at the age OF fifty
| nine years. II was announced in the
morning papers that her funeral would
take place yesterday morning at y
o'clock, and that requiem mass would
be celebrated at the St. Alphonsus Church
at 8 o'clock. Preparations were made
for the burial, and the body was deposit
ed in freezer for the night.
At the time announced u crowd Of
friends and acquaintahces OF the deceased
gathered at the church, but waited in
vain for the arrival Of the corpse. The
hacks arrived, but no hearse, and
as time passed by the waiting con.
gregaton grew impatient. Finally,
the mass for the dead was celebrated,
the bell tolled, and the people began to
leave the building. Then was heard the
startling intelligence, that the woman
whose death they were lamenting had re-
turned 10 life. This news created as
much surprise and excitement among the
mourners as il bomb had suddenly
burst among them. The effect was cleo
trio. 1t soon spread throughout the city,
and during the remainder Of the day was
the subject OF conversation and COM
ment everywhere.
The origin OF all this excitement was
very simple indeed. When the body was
taken from the freezer and deposited in a
coffin preparatory to burial, the attend
ants noticed that the face was much
flushed and that it had returned to d.
most It's natural color. This was the nat
ural result Of the freezing process Of pre-
serving the corpse, but the friends Of the
deceased considered 1t an indication that
life was not extinct and would not allow
the coffin to be closed. DR.. Rich
ard Blum, who was summoned
in haste, understood the situation at once,
and made it clear to all. However, that
all would be perfectly satisfied, IT was
thought best to postpone the funeral un-
Gtil4 o'clock P. NJ, which was accordingly
