Well-Known Citizen of PlattevilIe Has
Marrow Escape from Being Buried Alive.
Galena (Ill.) Special.
John F. Munger. a well-known citizen of
Platteville. Wis, has suffered greatly from
rheumatism in the feet. Two days ago, with
the hope of relieving the pain, he bathed his feet
freely with tincture of aconite and then thrust
them into pail of hot water Atingling sensation
followed. the pulse weakened, the skin became
moist and clammy, and violent vomiting and
racking ensued Dr. Gasser was called, but on
his arrival found Mr.. Munger apparently dead.
The heart seemed to have stopped beating, and
the doctor, with other medical men who were
summoned, decided that Munger had died from
aconite poisoning, having absorbed the drug
through his feet An undertaken set about pre-
pairing the body for burial when DR.. Gasser, as
an experiment., injected with a hypodermic
syringe mixture of brandy and digitaiis near
the heart In few minutes the supposed dead
man began to gasp. and there was faint sound
of beating over the heart More hypodermics
were given; the death pallor was succeeded by a
reddish glow, the muscles relaxed, perspiration
broke out and Mr.. Munger slowly returned to
life. He is now entirely out of danger. The
doctors consider his resurrection most remark
able one.

One Wing of tho New Jersey Insane Asylum
Destroyed-The Patients Safely Removed.
NEWARK, n. J., JAM 2-Shortly after p. NJ.
to-day fire was discovered in the easterly trent
wing of the Insane Asylum. which is situated
about two miles from the center of the city. The
flames shot mp the chute to the attic, and In q
few minutes it was seething mass of flaraes.
The wing was 600 feet long, and as the interior
fittings were of oiled pine they ignited very
readily, and burned fercely. In this wing were
lob patients. The medical superintendent
at once summoned his staff of assistants,
and in q few minutes all the unfor:rnates were
moved into the yard without accident OF the
patients taken out thirty-two were women and
seventy-one men. Very littls difficulty was ex-
perienced in controlling them The entire fire
department was summoned to the scene, but
could render little service owing to a scarcity of
water. The flames spread rapidly to the third
floor and along the entire length of the wing in
both directions At the west end it was stopped
by blank wall twenty two inches thick. which
prevented its spread to the center and other
wings of the institution. BY hard work thu
iremen KEEP. the flames to the two floors,
although the lower floors were badly damaged
by water. The total loss will probably amount
to 80. 900, which is fully covered by insurance.
The patients were sent temporarily to the City
Hospital, but were this evening returned TO the
asylum. where arrangements had been made for
their accommodation. The cause of the fire is
unknown. but it is supposed to have originated
from the oyerheated steam pipe which surrounds
the chute in the basement. which, like all the
rest of the interior fittings was of the most in
fammable material
The asylum is a new building and was erected
at a cost of $350,000 It was first occupied last
spring, and had nearly 600 inmates

The Skatars,

Over the ice they glide, they glide!
Youth and maiden are side by side,
And fast fly the smile and the merry jest,
For the air and the motion give life new zest.
And the parted lips of the graceful girls,
Reveal the beauties of rows of pearls.
For the healthy girls, who can skate the best,
Have always of teeth the handsomest.
And those are the ones who, every night,
Use SOZODONT on their teeth so white,
Thus keeping them ever pure and sweet,
And making their list of charms complete

Vanderbilt, whose sudden death has Just been

he was one Of the first to exploit, then mines,

succeeded in building and manipulating. He

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
COLUMBUS, Ind, Jan. 1.-The article con-
tanned in an Indianapolis paper yesterday morn
ing, clipped from the Louisville Truth, in regard
to E. W. McKenna, late superintendent of the
j. NJ. g. l. railroad, and his alleged financial
troubles in Louisville. does that gentleman an
irreparable injury because of its falsity. While
Mr. McKenna was somewhat financially in
volved, yet not anything like thatpictured in the
article and from one conversant with the situa-
ton the amount is not one-tenth that
stated. The story that Dick Condor
Endorsed for him to the amount
of $4,000 puts ludicrous aspect
on the whole affair. The truth of the matter is
that Mr.. McKenna made some enemies in Louis
vile because he refused to be bled any longer by
set Of vampires who had sunk their fangs in
him. and this is one of the means of retaliation
they have adopted.
