servant, was murdered near Ismed, was
making tour in the mountains and en-
camped by q roadside in the vicinity.
Some Zuruk semi-nomadic tribe, and
two Zuruk shepherds confessed that they
shot two travellers as they slept and rob-

not less than $500. AS Parsons did not

DIR. Tanner, His Fasting Ended, Luxuriates
on WatermelOns and Sit1,,

New York. Aug. 7.-At seven o'clock
DIR. Tanner had a fit OF vomiting. He
got up and dressed Mt seven thirty. He
was much exhausted and laid down on
his cot where he remained until 1915,
when he went into the lower hall. After
while he laid down and was covered
with blanket. At 1850 the doctor
arose and walked into the front room of
the hall where there was fine spread of
watermelons, fruits, bread, etc. At II
the doctor stood at the window on Thir-
teenth street, looking out upon the
crowd. Brother-in-law Gardiner called.
His visit seemed to make the doctor nerv-
GUS and he complained of goneness in the
stomach.
DIR. Tanner finished his fast of forty
days at high noon time. The crowd
cheered Tanner enthusiastically. About
one thousand persons were in the hall
and an immense number of people on
the sidewalk. The doctor drank glass
of milk and called for Georgia water
melon, which he Tapped and dug his
hand into itand ate heartily. When
demonstrated with he asked to be
left alone, saying "No, my
lord! am running this now. When he
placed glass Of milk to his mouth he
remarked, "gentlemen you don't believe
that's good" The signal far the expira-
tion OF the fast was whistled from fac
tory in the vicinity. When it blew Tan
ner had peach in his hand, but before
he could put it into his mouth somebody
snatched it away. In response to the
plaudits of the assemblage, Tanner, who
was sitting upon chair placed on the
table, waved his hand over his head.
At 2:l5 Tanner got down from the table
and left the hall in a coach in charge of
DIR. Gum, who took him to his own, resi-
dence, where he will receive careful med
ical treatment. DR.. Tanner weighed at
the end of his fast 12l1s pounds; loss
36 pounds in forty days.

Where Booth Is Buried.

The Washington correspondent Of
The Buffalo Commercial writes: II
was only after some patient inquiry
that I could ascertain the facts, which
are interesting, and SO far as I know
are yet unpublished. Booth died, as
will be remembered, In a barn in Ma.
ryland from a wound received from
the musket of Boston Corbett. His
body was brought to Washington, and
after having beenidentifed bythecourt
martial before which his fellow-oonspi.
rators were tried, wssdissected by the
surgeon general Of the army. The
brain and heart and some other parts
of the body were preserved in alcohol,
and are now on exhibition In the
medical museum of the surgeon gen.
erals Office. The building in which
the assassination occurred was Ford's
theater. The government coniscated
it, but afterward Ford was paid its
full value, and it has since been used
as the headquarters of the medical
corps of the army. The brain and
heart of Booth are in jars, standing
in a case that is situated very ear
the actual scene of the assassination.
After the surgeon had done with
Booths body, it was buried in agrave
in the arsenal grounds. Only half q
dozen persons knew the exact spot,
which was unmarked. In 1867 Ed
win Booth, the actor, sent Mr..
Weaver, the sexton of Christ's church,
Baltimore, to Washington, to request
that the remains of his brother might
be taken up and removed to the
family burial place. After some de-
lay the request was granted by Presi-
dent johnson, who was finally ap-
pealed to, and MI. Weaver took the
body to the cemetery in Baltimore
and buried it beside the elder Booth
and others of the family. The remov-
al was conducted with great secrecy,
and was concealed from Secretary
Stanton, who had refused to give his
consent.
