Aho Aftal OF aired tacker for the Murder
of His six Comrades and Subsequent

DENVER, Col, April 12-The trial of
Alfred G. Packer, the Sanguan ghoul
charged with numbering five companions in
the SaDguan country in 1872 in progress at
Lake City the last few days, was concluded
tonight and the case given to the Jury. The
evidence shows that q party of six or

vicinity of the present site of Lake City
binding storms coming on they lost their
way, the food gave cut aud for days together
they lived on rosebuds. The men became
desperate, some crazed. While his COM
panions were IN this condition, Packer de-
lberately fell upon and butchered the
whole party, and for several weeks lived on
flesh cut from their bodies. Yesterday in
the course OF the trial Packer made q

CREMATION.

Discussing the objections to cremation
naturally suggests the introduction of we'll
considered objections to the disposition of
the dead by BURIAL 1t is held that "the
burial of the dead pollutes the SOL, air and
water, and is a real danger in crowded ceme-
teries." No language can by any pos Utility
do justice to the polluting effects OF
crowded cemetery. Every fact is hideous.
The soil Teeking with rottenness, the air
burdened with deadly vspors and the water
running rank with poison are IN
pleasant to thoughtful people, and
still we are told burial is
the Christian method, and cremation
is denounced as heather. Cremation is OBJ
jected to because it may be used to destroy
evidences of crime" and is too costly for
general USE" DR.. w. r. Curtis, of Chicago
remarks that the objection relating % the
evidences of crime is 'outweighed by the adj
vantage that might be derived fIom the
general adoption of cremation, and can be
oDyiated by the enforcement of easy precau-
tions," and that "the cost is reducible to a
very small amount by means of modern ap-
pliances" But. in the discussion OF burial u.s.
cremation, as a means of disposing of the
dead, the most formidable objection
to cremation will be found in the popular
belief that it is authoritarian. Why 1t is
not Just as Christian as any other method
the severest investigation utterly fails to
Disclose. The process of decomposition by
the method OF burial is slow, and the con-
temptation of it repulsive beyond descrip-
ton. The living know that worms and
reptiles are banqueting upon the fostering
remains of the dead, and they turn from
such thoughts with horror. Nor il the
old Egyptian process of embslniiDg the dead
scarcely less revolving. and since it is known
that the Khedive flies up his locomotives
with mummy fuel, cremation might as well
have been inaugurated in Nile land 5000
years ago. By the cremation process in the
improved furnaces of the period il is said
that 1.-THE body does not come in contact
with the fire at all, only with an intense heat
of 2,000o or more. At this tenn persture the
body simply withers away into pure white
ash. The gases generated are burned in a
separated chamber adapted to the purpose,
and no smoke, odor, or other unpleasant
phenomena occur, to offend the sensibilities
OF anyone, be they ever SO acute" This
pure white ash Is urned or buried
and from it no communicating
earth, air or water flows. Taking
this view of cremation it is likely to be
eventually adopted. The living can con-
template it with greater serenity, and the
Christian will at last realize that in the
resurrection the fiat OF jehovah will
readily reach the original elements
without regard to the methods
