An UudertalSor's Belief That People Are
Often Buried Alive.
"The world would be Mortified" said
William s. Mccarthy, an East Side
undertaken, yesterday, "if it knew the
number Of bodies that are buried before
life is extinct. Once in while one of
these cases comes to light, but no steps
are taken to prevent their recurrence.
Something that happened to me about
II years ago has worried me ever since |:
was sent for one day to take charge of
the body of man In Division street.
The mau was tailor, and had fallen
over while sitting on his bench sowing.
lie was big, feshy man, about 40 years
OF age, snd weighed about $50 pounds.
The body was warm and the limbs were
limp. i did not believe the man was
dead and said so. His friends told me
that q physician had pronounced him
dead. was ordered to put the body on
ice at once, but / DELAYED
this operation, on one pretext or an
other, for nearly two days. During this
time the body lay on tho bench in the
little shop. Finally l could delay no
longer The limbs were still as limp as
when | first examined tho body. ! pre-
pared the body for burial, and the next
day II was buried. ] do not believe that
man was dead when the earth was SHOW
eled in on the coffin. If the same thing
were TO happen again i would let some
body else do tho burying.
"Ab0ut the same time a Young woman
living up town was supposed to have
dled very suddenly. A physician was
called In. He said she was dead. An
old woman who was present thought
otherwise, and insisted upon il that she
was in a trance. The body was buried.
A few weeks later the old woman deter
mined to satisfy herself about IL, and
bribed the grave diggers 10 disinter the
collin. The lid was removed and hor-
rible sight was seen. The young woman
had come to life, and had made a terri
bic struggle for liberty. Her hair was
torn out, and her face frightfully
scratched. She had turned over on her
face.

"Shall l make a speech for the Sol
diers or the farmers2 could start in
1776. and picture three millions of
people shivering along our coasts,
engaging in battle with $4,000 troops
from England for our independence.
4 could stir your hearts in recounting
their valor and sacrifices until they
achieved that independence, and
drove the British from our shores at
York town. Then l could turn and
tell you how 2,650,000 fought on the
Northern side for the preservation Of
the Union, from 1860 to 1865. What
a marvellous change in the circum-
stances of the time and the magnitude
of the armeis!
II tell you, fellow citizens, we are
living in a grand and wondereous time
You boys who are standing before me
are highly favored. When I was q
boy used to read the history of the
battles OF the Revolution i'm the steel
engraving Washington and Generals
were represented in battle array. The
boys used to get sleepy over those
books. Now you do not have to read
Look on my right, there stands Gen
Slocum, the leader Of the Twelfth
Army Corps in its march to the sea
Look on my left, there stands Gen
Curtis, the hero of Fort Fisher. Lool
around on the background of the
picture and you can find one hundred
men who defended that fort with him
"Had you been in New York at thu
funeral of Gen. Grant, the great leader
of our armies, you could have seer
him carried to his grave by Union anC
Confederate soldiers. These picture
are all around you to-day-you reaC
from an open book. This fnAera
taught every one that at last the Uniol
was restored. The grass for twent.
years has closely knit where the sod

and Confederate dead-none but jack
