General James r. Slsyton, of Gettysburg,

hotel. His wife is also. guest at that house,
but she arrived some days ago, whereas the
gentleman only took up his quarters there yes.
terday morning, fow minutes after the big
bell had sounded its midnight tap. He came
on from Gettysburg in response to a telegram
from his wife, and by his first appearance at
the hotel occasioned dramatic scene.
Mrs. Slayton came to Pittsburgh from Cleve-
land with her sister, Mrs. DIR. Buckmeyer, the
first of the present week. It is said that before
their departure from the Forest city an action
in divorce was brought by Mrs. s. against her
husband, but service was not had on him and
the case was abandoned. Immediately after
their arrival here consultation was had with
the firm of Robb q Fitzsimmons, attorneys and
petition for divorce was filed on Tuesday.

bigamy.
The next thing was to get service on the Gen

worked effectually. Mrs. Slayton prepared-or

him in terms of affection to come and meet her

train was delayed. In anticipation of his ar

THE SIGNAL SERVICE.

4 Plan to Ertend its Advantages All
AroMnd the World.
The permanent committee of the Vienna
Meteorological Congress have just paid the
United States the high compliment of recon-
mending to proposed second congress the
adoption throughout the world of plan for
exchanges of data for simultaneous weather
maps or other purposes, similar to the one
first organized for the United States by
General Myer. the chief signal officer, in
1873. and which has been continuously pur-
sued by the signal service to this day.
The features of this exchange, as set on
foot by the United States, are as follows:
First-The signal Office of the United
States asks all countries to make and record
daily, on land and sea, one simultaneous
weather observation at the same exact instant
of time.
Second-Tbe United States then exchanges
with each country separately, making an
especial request of each to establish such
exchange:
Third-Each country sends to the United
States every fifteen days it's own observa-
lions; all are thus received by the United
States.
IouICu-1uo SlSudl OIuCo or the United
States then collates and prints all, it's own
co-incident observations included, and re-
turns in this shape to every regular observer,
who has sent continuously a single report,
the reports gathered from almost the whole
northern hemisphere. For one report sent
regularly by any regular observer anywhere,
on ship or shore, he receives 500, and these
500 surround and cover nearly the northern
hemisphere. It has been the theory of the
chief signal officer that, with such informa-
ton SO widely diffused, a great deal of work
will be done by separate observers in every
country which will be of use to all, but
which the solitary observer alone could never
think of undertaking unless the data have
been thus laid down before him. The
United States need the data for themselves,
and they help besides an International union
of brains as well as hands.
For nearly six years this exchange, origin
ated and conducted by the signal service of
the United States, has been perfectly success
full, almost every civilized nation north of
the equator has taken part in it. It has
made possible for the first time in the his
tory of the world the preparation of daily
simultaneous map of the northern hemis-
phere, at Washington fhis also is sent to
each observer), and has probably advanced
the study of practical meteorology as far as
any one undertaking in the last century.

PREMATURE BURIALs.
arc Not Many Persons Put Tn the Ground
While Yet Alive?

Mention was made in New York dispatch
few days ago of the letter of Dr. Moster
Beech, at a meeting of the Medico- Legal So
clety, on inspection of tho dead.' The
signs, or indications of death, he said, are
cessation Of the respiration, arrest of the
hearts action, loss of heart, rigor miortis,
and putrefaction. Of these, cessation of the
respiration is looked upon by many as the
surest indication. Sir Benjamin Brodie says
1t may be regarded as decisive test to
the extinction of life; and Taylor says
period OF five minutes furnishes certain
proof that the person is really dead.' The
latter also says in regard to another sign:
1t IS impossible to admit that the heart can
remain, Tor even half an hour, in state of
1nact,on. and then spontaneously regain it's
activity" Yet there are many cases that
give fat denial to these averments. MANY
tests to prove real deaths have been pro-
posed, and to the most of these there are
strong objections. The tests upon which
most dependence can be placed are
auscultation, galvanism, and the examina
ton by the ophthalmoscope. These can be
used only by skillful persons, and it conse-
quently follows that there is possibility of a
person being buried alive.
In 1887 prize of 1900 francs was offered
by Prof. Monni, of the University of Rome,
for the best essay on apparent death. After
ward the Marquis d'Ouche left 10000 francs
to be given for the best means that could be
applied by common people to detect death.
In Germany this important subject has re-
ceived much attention; in England but little
In this country there are no statutory laws
governing this matter, except such as allow
the boards of health in the cities to regulate
the burials within the limits of their iuris-
diction. None of their rules lay down the
time that dead bodies must be kept above
ground, and the only verifcation required by
them is the ordinary burial certificates. Our
laws furnish no protection against the danger
of burying person while alive.
