One Of those CHASTITY stories of interment
before bfe has become extinct, which cause
an involuntary shudder Of horror to p IS
through the reader, Is current in this city
tonight. The victim, so the story goes,
was young married lady Of twenty years.
In May OF last year, three months after her
marriage, the lady was laken violently i'll,
and, after lingering for ten days, appa-
rently died. There were certain Decu-
liarlties about the appearance OF the
supposed corpse, however, which caused
suspicion In the mind of the at
tending physician that his patient might
be in trance, but after keeping the
body for four days, with no signs OF
returning life, the remains were consigned
to the grave, temporary interment being
made In the family lot in an abandoned
graveyard. A day or two ago the body
was disinterred, prior 10 removal to an
other cemetery. TO the surprise OF the
sexton the coffin-lid showed signs of dis.
placement. and on It's being removed the
graye-digger was Mortified TO find the re-
mains turned face downward, the hands
hlled with long tufts o! hair torn from the
head, and the face, neck, and bosom
deeply scratched and Scared. while the
lining OF the coffin had been toi N into frap-
ments In the desperate efforts OF the en-.
tombed victim TO escape from her terrible
iate.. Sine the discovery the young hus-
eand has been Frustrated, and his life is
despalred OF.

A Scranton telegram says: A short time
ago Mrs. Williams, wife OF the Rev. j. w.
Williams, pastor Of the Welsh Baptist
church OF Hyde Park, died after lingering
illness. About the time OF her death sum
of money, amounting 10 nearly ten thou
sand dollars i'm gold, which she bad kept by
her side in tin box for many years, dis
appeared somewhat mysteriously and her
husband accused his step-son, q. w. Be-
van, who was the son OF the deceased
by former husband, OF taking 1t.
A church committee Of three took
Bevm in hand. but be denied all know
ledge OF the whereabouts Of the gold. He
was then arrested and threatened with a
prison-cell unless he restored the money.
But he still persisted in saying that he
knew nothing about 1t. Mr.. Williams then
said that unless he restored IL, or part OF 1t.
Bevan must look for home elsewhere.
and the young man went 10 live with
friends in Plymouth. Influential church
members had the thing hushed in the local
papers. but Beyan has made 1t public to-
day in a letter over his own name, in which
he recites the details OF the case.
Mr.. Williams was married to Bevan's
mother, who was q wealthy widow, some
years ago in Wales. They sold her pro-
perry, converted ii into gold, and came to
this country. The amount was about Sl0.-
