TWO NEW CREMATORIES.
ONE IS At CINCINNATI AND THE
OTHER At TROY.

Description OF the Two Structures-rhs
Ono at Troy Cost $500. 900. and Il Said
to be tho Finest Crematory In the
Country.
Cremation Is coming more into favor
every day. and the number OF crematories
being erected throughout the country Is on
the increase. The first one erected In the
United States was at Washington, Pa, and
was built by the late DR.. Lemoyne There
are others near New York at Buffalo, Ian.
caster, Detroit, st. Louis, Swinbourne's
Island, Philadelphia, Chicago. Cincinnati and
Troy, N. Y. It Is the last two which deserve
eur special attention.
Tho crematory at Cincinnati stands upon
an eminence on Clifton heights, near the city,
west Of Burnet woods The project was first
entertained In 1880 by several prominent citi-
zens Of Cincinnati, who acted Independently OF
each other. Among the directors Of the COM
pany was Mr.. Benin Pitman. It was not,
however, until October, 1884, that the char
ter was obtained, and not until the spring OF
\ 1885 that the building was begun. 1t was
dedicated on Sunday, Nov. 4, 1888

! $34,O 900. The basement Of the building Is OF
Indiana stone, the superstructure OF rough
limestone and brick, intended to be eventu-
ally covered with ivy.
On entering the vestibule one passes into
the chapel, furnished in handsome oak, with
seating capacity of three or four hundred. A
handsome pulpit and oaken catafalque oc-
cupy one end. The remains, first taken into
the basement, are placed upon an elevator
and raised to the catafalque in the chapel
above. When the services are finished, the
body is again lowered to the basement. 1t is
then taken to the preparing room and wrap
ned in pure white linen bands. 1t is then
placed upon the iron "cradle" ready to be
rolled into the retort. This retort is heated
to the almost unimaginable temperature of
1900 degs. to 1000 dogs. Fahrenheit, the
heating to this height occupying fully four
or five hours.
But one must not imagine that his sensi-
tive feelings will be shocked by looking into
fiery furnace. BY a happy idea the inside
of the retort is painted with carbonate OF
magnesia, which does not become mean
descent even by this enormous heat, but re-
mains white. The appearance is simply as il
ones friend was being rolled into the seclu-
sion Of a snow white vault.

distance from the gate of the cemetery, and
is built on the verge of precipice on foun-
dation of solid rock. 1t is in the Romanesque
style, and the tall tower is visible for many
miles. An open portico connects the chapel
with the tower, which is supported by poll
ished granite columns. The chapel is of good
size and connects on either side with two
rooms, the one on the west containing the re-
tortS, with the furnaces below it. The one on
the east is used for the preparation of the
body before incarceration.
The interior Of the building is fitted up ele-
gantly. The floors are laid in highly polished
tile and the walls are Of tile and close grain
ed red Carlisle sand stone. Much Of the ma
\ terial used was imported. The altar is made
\of italian marble and Mexican onyx. Back
bf the altar at the northern end are three
Stained glass windows with figure of Christ
in the center and adoring angels on the
. sides Near one Of the walls is bronze bust
of Gardner Earl, Mr.. Earl's dead son, to
whose memory the crematory has been erect
ed, and who died two years ago. At the
southern end of the chapel are three inches
for urns holding the ashes Of the Earl fam
lily, each niche to be inclosed by handsome
bronze tablet, while below is crypt for the
body Of any member who may not want to
be cremated.
In front Of each retort in the cremation
room Is heavy iron door, hung on weights,
20 that It can be readily raised Inside Is
movable iron framework, which Is pulled
forward to receive the body, and beneath
which Is long iron pan TO receive the ashes.
The furnaces are in the cellar. The intense
heat Is produced BY combination Of gases
and requires but little fuel The body Is
trussed with wire to prevent the bones flying

lie Made Counterfeit Money.

The Globe of Friday contains very
interesting accoun: OF the capture of a
counterfeiter in this city. AT about Il
o'clock Wednesday night deputy Uni
TED States Marshal Dagget, Of St. Paul
and Detective Joe Lawrence of the
Minneapolis police force, arrested in
his room, at 1000 Franklin avenue, a
man who gave his name as Luther S
Brown. He is 81 years old, married
and engaged in the silverplating bust.
ness. The charge against him is that OF
manufacturing counterfeit money, al d
the evidence against him is apparently
aoc conclusive to admit Of doubt. The
story, as told by the officers, is that
Brown has for some time past been en-
gagged in coming very fair limitations of
silver dollars, halves, quarters and
dimes, and hus done fairly successful
business in chopping out gold pieces OF
the lesser denominations. Most Of his
s'queer' has been sent east and showed
there, and some time ago some dollars
put In circulation in the east were
found to have come from Minnea polls.
Later man was arrested in St. Paul
for passing counterfeit money, and
was induced to tell the officials where
ne got it. He was then sent to Brown
tor more, which he obtained, and on
the strength of this evidence the arrest
was made.
The officers found something over $50
Of the counterfeit money on Browns
person and concealed about the room
where he worked, including silver 'cart
wheels" and two unfinished SIS gold
pieces. They also found the moulds
used in making the COIN and one new
one containing dies tor two dollars, one
half dollar, three quarters and d1me
was found baking IN the oven. Brown
was carving on the business OF silver
platter TO cover his real occupation and
all the coins, which were made OF a
compound of Babbltt metal, copper
and lead, were electro plated with Sill
yer or gold, as the case might be. The
mechanical execution of the coins is
very good, and, together with their &C
eurate weights, makes them dangerous
counterfeits, although the ring OF the
true coin is lacking.
Brown has been in Minneapolis some
three years, having come here from Du-
buQue, where his wife now is: having
gone there two weeks ago on visit.
4 fact that lends additional interest
to the case is that United States Com
missioner r. r. Odell, Of Minneapolis,
and Deputy Marshall Daggett, OF ST.
Paul, had a very spirited misunder-
standing as to whether the man should
be arraigned here or in the town down
