WnKEsBARRR, Pa, May 2S.-John
Stevens, an old man who lived at Nanti-
coke for some years, has had a remarkable
experience. On Saturday he was found
apparently dead in the house of John Alex
ander The physicians stated that he was
dead. The body was put in a rough coffin
and left in an clubhouse until yesterday
morning, when the coffin was placed in a
wagon and carried off for the Door house
where interment was to be made. The
wagon had not gone far when the driver
was startled by hearing groans from the
coffin and a noise as of some one Struggling.
He halted the wagon, wrenched omen the
box, and found Stevens alive and perfectly
conscious. He was very weak, however.
and is receiving the best care and atteu
ton. He may recover. He saws he was
conscious most of the time, and remembers
being placed in the coffin and carried out
of the house, but not about lying in the out
house for thirty-six hours He. sayshe

The Maybrick Murder.

LONDON, May 2S.-The inquest over the
body of Maybrick, whose death it is sup
posed was caused by poison administered
by his wife, began to-day. Michael May
brick, brother of the deceased, and Alice
Jap, nurse, were examined. Their testi-
mony was very damaging, and related how
Mrs. Maybrick was guilty of changing the
contents and labels of the medicine
bottles; that a couple of bottles
labelled ''poison" were found in her
room, and notwithstanding the precautions
Michael Maybrick took his brother grew
worse and died in short time The nurse
also produced letter and told how Mrs.
Maybrick had given her the letters to post
and while on her way to do this she dropped
the letter in the mud. In opening the letter
with the intention of placing it in
another envelope, she noticed it
contained number of endearing
words. The following sentence partic. lsr,y
attracted her attention: Dearest: NV hus-
band is sick unto death, and all depends on
how long his strength holds out. Darling,
relieve your mind of all fear of discovery
now or in the future. In any case do not
leave England until 1 see you once again. y

TOM PLATT AND GEN'L ALGER.
They VIII Spend the Summer in Alaska, and
Arrange a Political Plan.
Especial to TIE HERALD-Examiner

| Especial to THE Observation-Disclosures Dispatct
NEw YORK, May 27.-Ex-Senator Tho
mas c. Platt and Russell A. AIger have de,
cided to spend the summer in Alaska. Tney
leave this city June 20 in General Ayers
private car Michigan. They journey by
rail to Tacoma, where they take the
steamer to Alaska. Plat will be Ayers
guest on the trip. They expect to be away
Two months or more.
Various reasons are assigned for the
contemplated journey. Platt yesterday
said he had no political or scientific pur-
pose to serve in the proposed pilgrimage
de was going purely for pleasure and rest.
1t Is understood that Alger wishes to in
vestlgate the mining resources of Alaska
Platt said he had strong desire to visit
the territory acquired by Mr.. Stewards
craftsmanship and quickly availed himself
of the opportunity to do so in the agreeable
company of the Michigan millionaire.
In political circles the coming journey of
Platt and Alger together to Alaska has
more significance than mere pleasure
Jaunt. 1t will be remembered that Platt, a
year ago, came very near declaring openly
for Alger for President. He preferred the
Mlchigander to either Harrison or Sher-
man, or any other man in the field at that
time. The availability and promises alleged
10 nave been made by Harrison through
Steve Elkins are what induced Platt to
withhold his support from Alger. Nothing
IS palmer in politics than that if Platt had
1t to do over again Harrison would not now
be President.
There are unmistakable signs that Alger
still has the presidential fever in a very
bad form. An alliance between Platt and
Alger, which was prevented in 1888, if it
can be brought about now, would undoubt-
eddy make the Michigan statesman form
liable candidate before the Republican
national convention of 1892. Plat and Al
ger will have abundant opportunity to dis
cuss the details OF the matter while Jour
neying together and inspecting the bleak
hills of Alaska.
The political prospects are that a positive
alliance between Platt and Alger will be
an accomplished fact at an early day All
the people who are opposed to the nomina-
ton of the grandson of his grandfather will
be invited to cooperate. Judging from
present indications, this will include nearly
all Of the working force of the Republican
machine throughout the county

MRS. MARGARET SMITH.
The Woman Who Ruled Henry Scharr's Des-
tiny Tells Her Story.

BALTIMORE, May 2S.-On the street, in
clubs, everywhere, the one theme of con-
versation has been the cause of Rev. Henry
Greenfield Scharr's Sunday morning sui
eide, as published in an out-of town paper
to which he had sent both his correspond
ence and that of the woman he loved, as
well as her name. Scharr evidently was a
peculiar man, taking his meals at
an expensive hotel, and taking
his rooms at St. Paul's parish
house. He was a favorite with the
fashionable congregation of st. Paul's,
where he was assistant rector He con-
stantly refused to talk about his parents,
who lived in humble way in an obscure
part of the town. Having borrowed their
savings, he was ashamed of them. He
gave many false reasons for his periodical
gloom, first friend had committed suicide
because he had urged the payment of
debt; then mythical sister was seriously
Ill IN Brooklyn, etc. Scharr was buried
to-day
A reporter called this evening at the lux
urious home of Mrs. Margaret M. Smith,
l2l9 North Charleston street, the woman
whom Scharr says ruled his life Her ap-
pearance betrayed the fact that she has
suffered great deal recently. She looked
to be about forty years of age.
.Ihe letters published were true" she
said, but Scharr's act in sending my! love

done because | would never marry him At

right of dover in Wyoming, which before
that time existed under the common law.
1t was claimed by the attorney for Mrs.
France that the Edmunds act revived this
right IN all the territories. The defendants
held that the particular section of the sta
tute quoted above applied to Utah alone,
and they were sustained by the court
A long decision was rendered, in which
the construction of the act was carefully
analysed by Judge Corn
TINS Is the first time that legal decision
on this question has ever been rendered.

The first element Of true culture is util.

body, without which accomplishments
have nothing TO adorn but themselves and

of business and the terrible reverscs which
so sweep away the best founded fortunes
none are safe. II is folly for any family
TO rear a girl In the lap Of indulgence for
life OF luxury, when single wave Of
misfortune may sweep the beautiful castle

educated that, should adversely throw her
