Cremation in England.

The cases of cremation in England to
which allusion is made in this NOM
ing's kilograms are likely to bring on
an extended and exciting dis ussion.
The bodies cremated seem to have been
those of Eliza Dean Patey, second wife
OF the Rev. Sir James Hanham, seventh
Baronet of the line, and of her
daughter-in-law, Edith Mary, third wife
Of Commander Thomas Barnabas Han

tanned an opinion from DR.. Tristram
and Mr. Meadows White to the effect
that the performance of the process of
cremation was perfectly legal in En-
gland, provided that it involved no con-
sequence which could be construed by
any one as nuisance. Bishop Rotten,
who was first appealed to, refused to
permit the setting apart of a portion of
the Great Northern Cemetery for the
erection of crematorium, and after
the society had erected a Gorini fur
mace at Working SO much cutlery was
raised that the projectors had to aban-
don the enterprise, or at least let it fall
into allegiance for the moment. This
crematory was erected in March, 1876,
when the Home Secretary, while adj
hitting that the proposed practice was
unaffected by existing law, declared
that, inasmuch as the registration of
deaths had always been associated with
burial. he was constrained to conclude
that cremation must first be approved
by Parliament. He further advised the
council of the society to introduce a
short bill into the House of Lords and
not rely upon the opinions of counsel
Only few weeks ago it was reported
that the Cremation Society had re-
ceived more formidable setback by
he decision of the High Court of
Justice in the Crookenden case. Henry
Crookenden, dying, lett his body to his
friend, Miss Eliza VIII ans, by whom
it was to be cremated, his executors
being charged with defraying any ex-
penses she might incur The executors
and family, Notwithstanding her pro-
test, buried the body, but Miss Will
Jams obtained permit to remove it to
any church-yard, where she did indeed
deposit the rems ins, but not until thew
had been taken to Italy and duly Gre
mated. Miss Williams sued the ex-
ecutors to recover the expenses of her
| proceedings. but was defeated, the
court holding that she had obtained the
license by misrepresentation and ille-
gality; that ere could be no property
in corpse, and that the provisions
with regard to the delivery of the body
were void. and, finally, that cremation
was illegal. The decision, however.
was regarded by very good authorities
as opposed alike to good sense and the
spirit and tendency of modern law in
such matters, and no concealment was
made of the intention to bring the sub
lect to test at no distant day.-M T.

The Krupps.

Of iron men named Krupp there are
two in Germany having A. for their sole
initial. Both originally belonged to the
same firm, and how they became separa-
ted forms an interesting story, which has
just been told in Paris, where Herr Ar
thur Krupp recently arrived. In 1855 the
Krupps, by being thus together, took to
casting guns at their factory, and in
1868 made the weapon which took the
first prize at the French exhibition of
1867. Soon after this the firm proposed
TO Marshal Mel and General Won Moltke
to cast for their Governments respect
lively, an offer which was the cause of the
retirement of Arthur Krupp, who
founded. thereupon, an iron foundry at
Berndorf, in Austria. and left Alfred to
conduct the works at Essen. Arthur
foundry, outside of Europe, if still there,
is not heard of, but Alfred gun business
is the wonder of the word, as the
statistics will show that it ought to be.
The population of the Essen works is
10, 700, and the number of boilers and
engines is as follows: 40 boilers, 1853
steam engines. with horsepower of
Is, 500; 80 steam hammers, and 1856
furnaces, of which fourteen are high
furnaces. producing 100000 tons of
steel and $4,000 tons of iron yearly.

terested may know the determination OF
the Postofice Department at Washington

running out of Eureka. viz: to Gold Greek

obedience to letters and petitions he had
recommended immediate service on both
OF these routes. Both are under process
OF contract to go into operation July /.
Special service could not be got into oper-

RUBY HILL ITEMS.
From the News Of Monday.

1t is clearly shown that Foreman Joseph
Bice of the Eureka Con. was in no way i'm
,p,icated with the reported ore steals. as
some interested parties would feign insinu-
ate. The gentleman's well known integ-
rity places him above suspicion. The Eu-
reka Con. management not only place the
most implicit confidence in his honesty,
which has never yet been impeached, but
the absence of any proof Of crookedness on
the Eureka Con. side Of the lines places
him doubly clear against the charges of any
prejudiced or sinister accusers.
1t is reported that G. j. Scanland, the
present principal Of our public school, will
shortly resign his position to go East, and
that the Trustees have engaged Geo. J.
Reek, the former principal. Mr.. Reek Is
well liked on the Hill, and his past efficient
management of the school guarantees its
successful supervision in the future. The
pr~incipalship of the Eureka school, held by
Mr.. Reek at present, has been rendered to
and accepted by a competent gentleman oil
Grass Valley, California.
1t looks now very much as though the
big ore steal was confined within the limits
of the Richmond mine, and that through
the duplicity of foreman Vim. Harris thai
company has been victimized to no small
extent.

time past the present location OF the catne-

A Miner has n Gas Pipe Driven
low.
A most horrible and extraordinary acct
dent occurred recently at the Chrysolite
mine, Leadville, Colorado. Several men
were at the bottom of the Roberts shaft Of
the mine timbering it. The shaft is some
1875 feet deep, and is intersected by several
different levels. On the upper n Of
these, quite near the open air, several men
were engaged in removing a long section
Of gas pipe, which had been used to con-
duct steam. 1t had become choked and
was being taken out to be cleaned and re-
paired. The pipe had extended all along
the level. and was removed up to the south
shaft. Here a single piece AZ feet in length
was unfastened and fixed on q tackle, pre-
paratory to hauling it up into the air.
While this was being lone the rope in
some manner slipped and the pipe slid
through. The workmen sprang to catch
it, but before they could reach it it had
fallen into the shaft. At that very instant
a miner named Moon stepped before the
mouth Of the shaft, and, STOPPING down,
examined a piece of timber which was ly-
ing at his feet, but before the unfortunate
man could spring aside the great iron dart
struck the middle of his back, going
through him. The force of the descent
was so terrific that the pipe stuck firmly
in the ground below Moon, who was strug-
Cling on it and shrieking for help. The
iron had passed directly through his bow
els and made a clean-cut wound. Word
was at once sent to the top. A pulley was
attached to the end Of the pipe, and the
other end Of the rope was fastened to the
engine, and the pipe was finally dragged
u Moon was carried to the surface, but
died in about Is minutes.

found that an immense body of snow had

the canyon, and extending to the banks
near the river. NJ. Bowen's house was

Others are reported missing. Fifteen In

the case. At last accounts the people OF
