Preached His Own Funeral.
ATHENS, GA, June 4.-Rev. DR.. Prid-
germ some weeks ago preached his own
funeral sermon, and now he is about to
contest his own will. When asked
about it he declared that what had once
been done could not be undone without
sufficient cause, and as he considered
himself dead since his funeral sermon
he can only proceed in the legal way to
have his will set aside. He sought to
keep his coffin in the house, to which
his wife, who is his second mate, object
ed. The disagreement growing out OF
this has deepened until now the old
man desires to recall the will by which
he left her his small possessions. Undue
influence is the reason he will assign.

WASHINGTON, June As P. Mt is
stated by one of the attendants that
General Sheridan is sleeping at this
hour. Rev. DIR. Chappell has just left
the house. The attack OF this afternoon
was by far the most severe that the
General has yet experienced. All hope
was abandoned for u time, and it was
believed that it would be impossible to
rally him. In addition to the oxygen
tr .atment galvanic battery was used,
and after prolonged effort the General
began to breath little more freely and
became partially conscious. Soon there
after he sank into an exhausted sleep.
S:l5 p. M.-General Sheridan had a
hemorrhage this afternoon, which in
duced a recurrence of the heart failure.
He was on the verge OF dissolution.
Although he rallied, his condition is still
most precarious.
