A Story of the Grave.
SPRINaFIELp, Mass. Dec. 1.-THE
story comes from Egremont, Berkshire
Hills. which agitates the people there
abouts, that Estelle Newman, about 80
years old, died in Egremont in 1878, and
after the funeral services in the little
Methodist Church, she was buried in the
town cemetery and forgotten. The sensa-
ton comes from the dying testimony of
H.. Worth Wright of Connecticut, who is
said to have confessed to his brother that
he, while q student in the Albany Medical
College, was present at the funeral with
other students and lay in wait near the
cemetery until the burial was over and
the graveyard deserted and then helped to
disinter the body and carry it in a sack to
the college. They at once went to work
on it in the dissecting-room. While on
the table the body showed signs OF life,
and it was resusitated. On finding the
woman alive on their hands, the authori-
ties bad her taken to an insane asylum in
Schoharie county, New York. This is the
Ahob HAA6ab % pau W Jaw INV VA a~A
whereabouts. The woman's grave will
probably be opened to see what the story
amounts to.

WARRINGTON, Dec. lin the Senate,
after routine business, Van Wyck offered
the following:
Whereas, A commercial treaty of great
importance has been negotiated between
the United States and Spain, which has
been made public by the King Of Spain, to
such extent that it has been cabled from
Madrid to the Times of New York, and
given to the American people by that paper,
before the same was presented with becom-
ing solemnity and secrecy to the Senate;
and, whereas the provisions Of said treaty
materially affecting revenues and taxation,
and involving no serions questions of
diplomacy and State discussion thereof,
should be in open session, 80 that the peo-
pie may be fully apprised OF the reasons
why said treaty should be ratified or re-
jected; therefore,
Resolved, That the Committee on Rules
be directed to report IN amendment or
additional rule requiring that treaties
which concern matters OF revenue be con-
sidered in open session.
On objection Of Wilson, the matter went
over one day.
A Wonderful Touch.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-A delegation of
Congressman, headed by Commissioner
General Morehead of the New Orleans
Exposition, and Senators Lamar and
Hampton. called upon the President and
requested him, in view Of his inability to
be present at the opening of the EXPOSE
ton. to consent to open IL by electricity.
The plan Is too dear. One of the Western
Union wires will be attached to one end Of
the motive power Of the machinery in the
Exposition and the other end will be con-
nected with the White House. At q fixed
moment everything will be in readiness in
New Orleans. The President. surrounded
by his Cabinet and members OF Congress, |
Judges and the Government officials and
foreign representatives, will press a but
ton in the Executive Mansion and instan-
taneously set the vast machinery in the Ex-
position in motion. The President agrees
to take the proposition under considera-
ton.
