SPILLED THE CORPSE.
A Pall-Bearer Slips on the Ice, the Coffin Falls
and the Dead Knocks Down the Living

ERIE, Feb ia remarkable burial scene is
reported as having occurred in Weseyville, four
milese east of this city. To-day large gather
ing assembled at the Methodist Church to attend
the funeral services Of the daughter of Mr. John
Wells, and as the coffin was being carried into
the church by four young ladies, who, according
to the wish of the deceased, had been selected as
bearers, two of them slipped on the ice-coated
ground and fell, the shock bursting open the
casket and exposing the corpse, which rolled
upon one of the girls and held her to the earth.
The contact with the dead body frightened her
so that she relapsed into insensbility before the
body was placed in the coffin again, and many
of the ladies who witnessed the distressing scene
returned home, so shaken were their nerves.
The service over the remains ended. second
accident Mortified the mourners At the
trance of the cemetery which adjoins the
church, the handles of the casket became de-
tached. and the jar resulted in another exposure.
