Strange Case.

MT. CLEMENS, Mich, Mar. ga week ago
Mrs Charles Bollensen, a woman of 70, sud-
denly expired. it was thought, of heart
disease. Her death was announced and
the funeral took place Tuesday. The life
like appearance of the body excited much
comment, which increased rather than d.
minished after burial. Finally the interest
grew go intense that it was thought best TO
disinter the body. This was accomplished
Thursday afternoon, the body having been
in the grave two days and two nights. 1t
still bore the same life-like appearance. 1t
was placed in room in which the tempera.
ture has been kept steadily at Is degrees.
Not the slightest indication of decomposi.
tion is apparent, and physicians declare
themselves unable TO determine whether
Mrs. Bollensen is alive or dead. The case
has created much excitement.

AN important question relative TO

alleging that the deceased policy hold

in addition, that be had taken bis own
life. But the jury decided that the
policy was valid on the ground that
an insurance company should regard
suicide from insanity as providen-
tial death, like that by a stroke of
lightning, and q habit of drinking like
any other disease brought on by the
habits of the assured. We do not
know how far this precedent will go
in the decision of other cases of like
character in England. It would be a

Curing Grant by Miracle.

Special to the Globe.
NEW YORK, May 24.-The curing Of
Gen. Grant by miracle has been undertaken
by band of perfectionists in this city.
They are followers of the late Phoebe
Palmer, who used to preach the doctrine of
personal holiness at Methodist camp-meet-
ings, notably, for many years at Ocean
Grove, the great religious summer resort
near Long Branch. After her death the
leader was DR.. w. G. Palmer, wealthy
New Yorker, whose second wife is now at
their head. He died a year ago. The Rev.
j. G. Hughes is her first lieutenant. She
spends the income Of her fortune almost en-
tirely in defraying the expenses of holiness
literature. In her residence, fine house
facing Stuyvesant square, weekly prayer and
praise meetings are held. The services
bear close relation to the belief that men
and women may lead perfectly sinless lines
of entire conservation to God, and they lay
stress upon their power in prayer, owing
to their cOmplianceS with the required con-
ditions of spiritual perfection. Specialties
for prayer have been constant since the es-
tablishment of these meetings nearly
twenty years ago. and the case of Grant
was taken up with much sincerity and
fervor. The wonderful improvement in
the generals disease set in Immediately
and Mrs. Palmer is sure that the better
ment was in direct answer to her bands pc
tition. When asked if she looked for COM
plete recovery, she replied: 'sThat is as
God wills. We shall continue praying,
with confidence. We have thus far been
answered and am hopeful that we will con-

Wagon Loads Of Money.

CINCINNATI, O., May s4.-Col. M.
Markbriet, assistant United States treas
urer at this place, to-day successfully re-
moved the coin and currency in his care
from the old postofice building at Fourth
and Vine streets, to the new quarters, on
the second floor of the new government
building at Fifth and Walnut streets. There
was some apprehension that the removal
might be attended with danger from daring
robbers, but the utmost care was taken
to prevent loss The contract for
removal was given, to the Adams
express company and was executed with
fidelity under the personal superintendent
of the assistant treasurer and his officers.
The work began at o'clock this morning
and was completed at p. m. One million
dollars in silver required ten wagon loads.
The gold was less troublesome and the
paper money, though greater in volume
than all the rest, was carried in large
trunk or box in one wagon. A strong
force of police kept people away from the
loading and unloading points and armed
men rode on all the wagons. 1t is said the
express company was paid about SIX hun
dred dollars for the work.
