ment is made here that Waterman

Mike Allen, an old servant of the dead
man volunteered for the service.
From constant strain on his supersti-

sickened and few weeks ago died.
since the death of Allen, John
O'Rourke has gone his silent rounds
night after night. During the late
strike of the employees of the Meteor

doubled and extra precautions were
taken TO prevent Dissertation OF th'
grave. No violence was offered tt

speedy erection of the mausoieuu
now contemplated, will relieve TIN
