MYSTERY OF A GRAVE.
Position of a Corpse Slightly Changed
While In the Coffin.

rosiiion OF Corpse Slightly Changed
While In the Coffin.
The other day the body of David Kurtz,
which had been buried for several years,
was taken up for interment in the new cem-
etery at Lafayette, Ind. The face,of the dead
was as fresh and lfe-like as when laid away.
In addition to this startling feature of the
case, and one that has filled the friends with
horror ever since, is the fact that the right
arm of the dead man, which when inferred
was known to have rested folded across his
breast, was found TO be turned back and
rested under the small of the back, leaving
the impression that possibly he might have
been buried alive.
What adds TO this theory are the circum-
stances that attended Mr. Kurtz's death.
One day, feeling unwell, Mr.. Kurtz took a
dose of morphine His family became
alarmed, summoned physician, who gave
him some medicine--not knowing. that he
had taken m0rphine-and went away.
Kurtz died. After burial little daughter
of Kurtz dreamed that her father had been
buried alive, and so vividly was the fact i'm
pressed on her mind that to satisfy her the
body was disinterred two days later. At
that time the body was found TO be just as it
was when buried, the arms folded across the
breast, etc. Last week a daughter of the
dead man died at Indianapolis, and was
brought TO Lafayette for burial. 1t was
found impossible to place her beside the re-
mains of her father and II was decided to
take up the body of the latter and place II in
a new lot. In this way the discovery was
made leading TO the belief Of premature
burial.

DESERTED BEFORE THE BRIDAL.
A missing Bridegroom and a Sorrowing
BROOKLYN Belle.

as the groom missing? Well, should
say so! Missing amt the name for 1t. He's
absconded," said very angrlly very pretty
girl at No. 131 Vanderbilt avenue, Brooklyn,
l.. /. "All the preparations were made for
for the wedding, but the marriage did not
take place"
About two weeks ago invitations were
issued to large number of the bestknown
families in Brooklyn to attend the nuptials
of Mr.. Adolph Hynemann and Miss Hannah
Rosenberg The date of the wedding was
fixed for Sunday last, and the ceremony was
TO be performed at the Temple Betl,
Elohim, on Pearl street, Brooklyn, Rabbi
William Sprague having been engaged to
make the contracting parties happy.
Miss Rosenberg is the daughter of we'll
to-do merchant doing business in New York
city, reported to be quite wealthy. She Is a
pronounced brunette, of many accomplish
ments, and has been one of the leaders OF
society in Brooklyn. The prospective
groom, Mr.; Adolph Hynemann, Is said to be be
one OF the handsomest young men In
Brooklyn.
ut is my belief said prominent mer-
chant In BROOKLYN, that the whole trouble
arose because the bride-elects friends and
near relatives discovered that Mr.. Hyne-
mann was not in position to properly sup
port Miss Rosenberg after marriage. The
Young lady has been used to live in good
style, and it is alleged that she would find
no difficulty in disposing of the salary OF
her prospective husband for month in one
day."
II is said that Mr. Rosenburg was so salts
fed with the prospective marriage that he
was willing to settle upon his daughter and
her husband a large sum of money and also
to give her and her husband house on
Ryerson street. Brooklyn, valued at $1,000.
On the other hand the friends of young
Hynemann declare that his relatives had
made arrangements to present Adolphus'
bride with farm in Queens county.

The Wonderful Histrionic Development
Of Famous Child Actress.

The New York public was surprised a
few years ago at the arrest, at the insti-
cation of the Society for the Prevention

parents and kept in confinement until
released by order of the Court and Mayor
of the city. Mrs. Jennie Kimball, the
mother of Corihne, who has been known
TO the public for many years as vocalist
and comedienne, has devoted the great
est care to the training and education Of
Corinne, and the result is development
of natural faculties really phenomenal
when did you discover Corinne's re-
markable talent?' was asked of Mrs.
kimball.
II can hardly remember the time
when her eyes would not sparkle at the
sourd of music; she began to sing before
she could talk. Before she was four
years old she created sensation and re-
ceived the prize of gold chai n and
locket studded with diamonds. at the
National baby show in Boston. Next
she sang in a concert given by Browns
Brigade Band. and in 1879 made her
debut as Little Buttercup in the Juve-
nile Pinafore Company. Since then she
has sung in opera and played various
roles nearly everywhere"

EXTENSIVE FIRE.

GLENs FALLS, N. y, April 2S.-A fire
broke out here early this morning, which at
this hour, 7.l5 a. m, is still raging tiercely,
having already destroyed the Music Hall
building, the Opera House, aud the Presby-
terrain Church, together with fifteen stores
and fully twice as many offices. The post
office will undoubtedly be reached by the
flames, and the employees are now engaged
in removing its contents. The fire promises
to be a repetition Of the great contlagration
of twenty years ago. The local fire depart
ment have appealed to Fort Edward and
Sandy Hill for aid, being unequal to the
task of subduing the flames alone. 1t is
estimated that the loss will exceed 100000.
