Coffined Before His Time

The Poster Lloyd reports from Bel
grade what narrowly escaped being n
fatal case of shameful superstition.
The police found some nights ago, w.
ing in the street, the body OF n man
apparently frozen to death. Efforts
to revive him failed and his identi-
ty having been ascertained, he was
handed over to his family for inter.
nlent. The cemetery was considera.
bic way distant, and as 1t was being
reached the driver of the hearse told
the priest that he heard some noise in
the coffin. The clergyman and others
drawing near also heard the noise,
and all ran away lest vampire should
issue from it and attack them. The
driver terrified at finding himself
alone, turned about and drove the
hearse to the nearest police station.
By this time the knocking was distinct
ly audible. The coffin was forced open
and the man was found alive and in a
very exhausted state. He complain
ed pathetically OF the attempt to bu-
ry him despite his remonstrances. He
was taken to the hospital and had
nearly recovered, He had been spend
ing the evening with some boon COM
panions and, wandering in state OF
intoxication, fell and became insensi-
bic from the cold. Probably the Jolt.
ing of the hearse revived him. 1t is a
superstition in Servia and among
many Slav people that when a man
dies suddenly his spirit returns as
vampire and preys on his near rela-
tiyes and friends.

Gould and Bennett,

Jay Gould gave to the press OF New
York q copy OF an open letter which he
wrote to James Gordon Bennett, the pro-
prietor of the New York Herald. An edi
torial which appeared in the Herald, and
which Mr.. Gould calls scream" appears
to have aroused Mr.. Gould's anger and the
letter which he gave out is full OF person
alities. He begit,s his letter by reiterating
his former statement in relation to the
aninius OF Mr.. Bennett and then descends to
personalities. He calls Mr.. Bennett liber-
tine and says lis private life has been but
Il succession OF debauches and scandals.
Mr.. Gould asserts that not gentleman in
New York would allow Mr.. Bennett to
cross the threshold OF his home.
Your very touch in the social circle is
contaminating, says MIR. Gould. IA few
instances such as dscency permits to put
in print will suffice to illustrate and con-
firm what have to say on this head"
Then Mr.. Gould relates certain alleged
happenings in the life OF Mr. Bennett, of
which the following is sample:
A few years ago while on one oil your de-
baunches the police came down on a house
CT ill fame in this city. You were among
raisned past midnight at the police station
you screamed: 81 am james Gordon Ben
nett proprietor OF the New York Herald,

reply of the faithful officer, who said you
may be James Gordon Bennett, or ou may
be George Washington. The case will take
the usual course. Officer, lock the prisoner
up" and you went behind the bars. in
the morning, when you sobered down and
came to Il full realization OF your situation.
you no longer screamed. II am James
Gordon Bennett. proprietor OF the New

good success.

Lynching Bad Indians.

Some weeks ago warrant for the ar
rest OF two Koetenai Indians was sworn
out in the Justices court at Ashley, Mon
tana. The Indians were arrested and
placed in charge OF a deputy sheriff. Dur
ins the deputy 8 absence party of citizens
guard, took the prisoners to the east side
OF the river, and, it is supposed, ''made
good Indians" OF them. The crime charged
against them was murder. 1t is alleged
that these Indians assisted third koo-
tenai in killing three prospectors on Wolf
Creek last June. Two OF these men were
well along in years. and the third was a
young man. After shooting them, it
is claimed they were beaten over the head
with six shooters until life was extinct,
and their bodies were then burned. 1t
is asserted by responsible men that
the above named Mood Indians"
confessed completely in the fearful crime
and made an open boast OF their prowess.
The booty received was Sc in money. a
scanty supply OF provisions and two
ponies. The ponies, it is claimed, are n ow
in the possession of the fugitive Indians.

Another French Crisia.

The French chamber Of deputies by a
vote OF 26S to 237, despite the opposition
OF the government, voted for urgency for the
Extreme Left bill providing for the revision
OF the constitution. The government there
upon resigned. In the discussion several
Bonapartists declared that they would
support the demand for revision. in
to the people. Baudry d'Asson
(Royalist) said he would vote for the pro.
posal, hoping that it would tend to re.
store the legitimate monarchy, which
alone could save France. Brisson said he
was opposed to revision, and. aliuding to
Gen. Boulaneer, said that the ga atisiaction
which would be afforded by the adoption
OF the measure ought not to be given to a
pere on who has attacked the institutions
OF the country and talked OF purging the
chamber. Cle,nenceau favored revision,
saying that the constitution was not in
accordance with the principles OF Repub-
lican democracy. Minister Sarrien urged
the chamber to reject the demand, declar-
ing that it was essential that no new
cause OF troubles and difficulties be added
to those already existing. Pre-
mier Tirard declared that he
fully agreed with Sarrien. If
the chamber decided to consider the
urgency proposal the ministry would de-
cline all responsibility, as such action
would furnish {. fresh argument in iavor OF
the audacious manifesto issued by the dis
missed general. President Carnot hiss &c.
cepted the resignation of the cabinet. Tho
ministers, however, will remain in office an-
til their successors are appointed. 1t is ex-
pected that Floquet will be summoned to
form a ca binet. Ferry, Raynal. Ribot and
Rouvier met recently to concert plan to
prevent the formation OF, a cabinet under
Floquct. The Opportunities are eagerly
searching for a locally popular candidate
to put up against Gen. Boulanger Every
means will be resorted to in order to pre-.
vent the generals election.

Big. Bad Indians.

Reports have reached the of1ic ials Of
Sonora, Mex. that the Serls Indians. who
inhabit the Tibwren islands iu the Gulf OF
California, have recently crossed the
straits to the main land in Sonora. They
are raiding ranches and committing other
depredations, striking terror to the peace
able Mexican settlers. While the country
thereabouts Is sparsely settled there are Il
sufficient number OF ranches in that
section to afford them abundant oppor.
tunities for indnlging in the destruction OF
life and property. The Serls number
about three hundred, and are one OF the
tallest races on the continent, nearly all
measuring six feet four inches. II is claim
ed by some that they are cannibals. They
are the only Indians in North America
using poisoned arrows, and they prefer
raw, decomposed meat to meat that has
been cooked, and, in fact, live entirely
upon raw food. In stature, looks,
language and manners, they are diff
ierent from any Of the Indians in America.
A few years ago a Turk visited their island,
and he claimed they spoke his tongue. In
Appearance they resemble the Malayaps.
They have pever before been known to
leave the island upon depredating excur.
sions, and the present raid Ia complete
surprise. rTh ey have often been known to
cross owe in Sonora in trading expedi-
tions, but they came in small parties and
manifesto nodesiRe to commit depredn-
tions. Acting Governor Carrot will send
troops to check their advances.
