IN STRANGE COFFINS.
The Body of an Infant Clothed in
Plaster of Paris.

WOrkmen engaged in remodeling an
old frame building, formerly used by the
congregation of the First Methodist
church. Wednesday last unearthed a
tiny box containing the crumbled skele-
ton of a child incased in plaster of
paris. The box was discovered in the
cellar. and it is thought had been buried
for several years. The old church
property has fallen into the hands of
Rev. j. A. Wright. Deputy Coroner
Spring, after an Investigation, ordered;
the box ana its contents to be buried at
the expense of the county. Some forty
years ago an old cemetery was located
within two blocks of the site of the old
church, but it Is not probable that
the body of the little infant found
Wednesday ever received Christian
burial, although found i'm sacred ground.
In 1878 while gang of men were eX-
cavating for the purpose of continuing
the Mill street sewer across Grand ave-
nue. near Chouteau avenue, in the city
of st. Louis, they found about eight feet
beneath the surface of the ground what
appeared to be symmetrically shaped
shaft OF stone. 1t was removed from
the trench and an examination revealed
its dimensions to be some seven feet in
length and two and half feet broad
and deep. 1t was not as heavy as solid
stone or granite, and experts pronounced
the outer rOcky-loOking substance a
concrete. On being struck sharply with
a sledge hammer the covering was
broken and removed in slabs or flat
pieces. Within was wooden frame to
which had been closely nailed, with
narrow interstices on either side, lath
such as are commonly used by plasterers
in which to spread mortar. On tearing
off the lath the skeleton of a man
was seen with shreds and strips
of skin still adhering in places to the
bones. The face was fairly we'll pre-
served, and any one familiar with the
person of the man. during his life,
whose bones found such strange rest
ing place and final exposure, would
have had but little difficulty in recog-
niZing him.
The skeleton rapidly crumbled in the
air, but the head remained perfect, and
is now used as paper weight by st.
Louis newspaper man. No eXpana-
ton of the circumstance or history of
the man or his death and interment
were ever discovered by the st. Louis
authorities and news-gatherers. Why
the body was confined in concrete was,
in that instance, as much of a mystery
as is the reason for incasing the figure
of the infant found Wednesday in this
city III cerements of plaster of paris.

He Must Be Satisfied With That,
and His Name Is Dennis.
The order of Judge Hooker, in the
case of William 81. Dennis, the archi-
tect. against Albert Johnson, the owner
of the Oneida block, will probably put
an end to the somewhat famous suit. 1t
was tried once before, and a verdict
rendered for $1,000. Judge Young set
it aside on account of being excessive.
and when it was carried to the supreme
court the decision was confirmed. The
second trial was had before Judge
Hooker. and a struck jury this time re-
turned verdict of $500. The defend
ant then moved for a new trial, which
Judge Hooker has denied in his order,
in which he states that there seemed to
be no grounds for such heavy verdict,
unless there was prejudice or passion in
the minds of the jury. He orders that
the plaintiff give satisfaction of the suit
upon the receipt of $1,000 from Johnson,

A Discordant Note,

Rumor has it that there is tro uble in
the choir of Westminster church. 1t is
not surprising that there should be
trouble in church choirs, in the alb
the day when Saul tried to drive a
cheese knife through the mechanism of
Dayid'S body; but the wonder is that
staid old Westminster should be the
sufferer. The trouble is wholly internal
and, on that account more dangerous,
and, will doubtless result in general
shaking up of the whole force of sing

sion to the Lake.
y Judge Hooker is hearing a combina-
ton damage suit, in which there are
five plaintiffs, against the Great North
ern Railroad company. Their names
are Aaron Cohen, Amelia FEEDER, Philip
FEEDER, S. Joseph and Henry Hart. The
plaintiffs allege that one day last Au-
gust they were returning from a trip to
Minnetonka. when the conductor of the
. train set upon them and made things
exceedingly lively in their car. The
story as told by the witnesses is that
Cohen had lost his return ticket When
the conductor came in he told him of
the fact and said he would pay his fare,
but the official seized him by the collar
and hauled him toward the door.
One of the other plaintiffs interfered
with few words, when he received a
Touchdown blow. Another expostu-
lated, when he was knocked out with
blow from the ticket punch. The lady
was tripped up, and wholesale picnic
ensued. They claim that the conductor
was drunk, and the other side ell aims
that the party of travellers opened up
the war.

II recently learned OF a simple and effective
method of overcoming its harmful effect.
II is by using Paine's Celery Compound

the case.
Dennis sued for damages resulting
from the act of Johnson in placing in
his office window some shavings and
chips, together with notice stating
that such was what Dennis put in the
windows of the houses built by him.

For some time girls employed In one
of the departments of the Bridgeport
Corset company's shop have been great
ly annoyed and delayed In their work
by the machines constantly being found
out OF repair when started in the morn
ing. At times three or four hours would
be required to put them in shape for
the work. This state of affairs con-
tinued so long that many of the old
hands left and new girls were taken on.
On this particular work there is only SO
much to be done every day, and as it
Is all piece work the breaking of a ma
chine causes a loss to the one operating
it, and at the same time gives those
fortunate enough to have perfect ma
chimes a chance to make extra pay.
There was one woman working in
this department who kept constantly
busy, her machine never appearing to
get out of order, thus giving her a
larger share of the work. Finally the
machinist of the shop became suspi-
cious that some one was tampering with
the machines and set a watch. Early
one morning he got to the factory
about 6 o'clock, and, hiding himself,
waited for developments. He had not
long to wait, for the woman in ques-
ton arrived, as she was always the
first to appear every morning. After
looking around and seeing no one in
view she took a screw driver, and GO
ing to one of the girls pachines began
to disarranpe its gearing TN mo
chinist stopped her and reported her at
the Office. She was Immediately dis
charged.-Hartford Times.

a gentleman, about leaving Nurem-
berg at night, and being late at the sta
ton, paid silver for his ticket in a fur
ried manner, and darted toward the
waiting o to pass through it to the
train. Suddenly he was tapped on the
shoulder; upon turning he saw a DO
liceman, who told him that he was ar
rested for passing counterfeit money.
At the police Office the silver the
gentleman had paid at the station was
produced. 1t had q peculiar whitish
luster, and a queer feel to the fingers.
he was asked to show what money he
had, and all the silver in his purse
looked and felt the same way.
But on examination the silver was
found to be genuine. His purse was
also examined and he was asked where
he had bought it. He said he had pur-
chased it from a street vender two
hours before, for a very small sum.
Then the secret came out. The
purse was made from the cast off sheen
skin bags in which quicksilver is ex-
ported from Spain. The skin of the
purse being strongly ~impregnated with
quicksilver had given to the silver coin
its whitish luster and greasy feel to the
touch. The gentleman was at once
liberated, but he had to remain that
night in the quaint old town.-Er-
