Corpse, Believing It Alive

He Was Looking for His Clothes when the
CHASTITY Bundle Fell in His Arms-Ths
Woman Had Been Missing for Two Days
and Had Been Drinking Heavily-Fou;
Play Not Suspected by the Police.
NEW York, Dec. 22.-William Water,
bury, night platform man at the sta
ton of the elevated road at 125th street
and Eighth avenue, had the surprise OF
his life last evening when the dead body
OF his wife Emma, who had been missing
since Friday evening, rolled into his arms
as stiff as marble statue from a ward.
robe in their bedroom.
Mrs. Waterbury was Al years old, and
was Waterbury's second wife, who il 90
years of age. They had been married six
years. For two years, it is said, Mrs.
Waterbury had been almost constant
drinkeT, and on Friday morning when he
returned from his duty he found her SO
drunk that he left his house in disgust.
On Friday night he looked in upon his
wife again and found her splitting a bar
rel into kindlings on the parlor floor and
manifesting other evidences of alcoholic
madness. That was the last he saw of
her. On Saturday morning when he
came home she had disappeared.
A Horrible Discovery.
Last evening while reading at his home
he wondered if his wife had pawned his
clothes in their wardrobe for drink
Waterbury at once ran to the wardrobe,
and threw back one of the doors. Reach
ing in his hand he came in contact with
his wife's cold face. He drew back hor-
rified. And yet he could not believe she
was dead.
"Come out here, Emma" he cried.
But there was no movement from
within. Pushing the door further open
he disclosed the white faced woman,
clad only in a wrapper, and standing
erect among the clothes in the wardrobe,
her eyes staring at him, though dimmed
by death.
: In a moment the corpse 1urched for
ward and rolled heavily toward him.
He caught it in his arms and laid it on
the bed, and then rushed out for help.
Coroner Schultz, who was summoned
to view the body, said that death evil
IDENTIFY resulted from taking an overdose
of bromide of potassium while endeavor-
ing to sober up. 1t was also suggested
that alcoholism was the cause of death.
There was slight abrasion on one of
her cheeks, but the police do not suspect
that any one had anything to do with
her death.

THINK HE WAS MURDERED.

The Body of a Missing Man Found in the
Woods.
YARMOUTH, Mass, Dec. 90. The body
of Francis 7. Mckay of this city was
found in the woods here last evening. 1t
is thought he was murdered.
Mckay and Alexander Henry went out
riding from Orleans Friday night, and
Henry returned to that place alone. The
horse and buggy were found in Harwick
yesterday. Henry said that the horse
had run away and that he had been
thrown out. He knew nothing of Mckay
whereabouts. Henry's appearance caused
distrust in his story, and McKay's friends
began search. The men were good
friends, and if it should prove to be a
murder the motive is mystery.

AChriStmaS Poem.

Oh, how we love the Christmas time!
And how we love to roam,
To see what we can get that's good,
To beautify our home.
What can we do more worthy
Than helping hand 10 lendi
To make our home more cheerful,
And not.forget friend.
Now Jane we've talked this over,
And I'll tell you what we'll do;
Wen go to the store the people like,
IT'S the place first met you.
Their name is known all over,
And the boys in the shop agree,
That of all the places in the town
IT'S the store you want to see.
III
It goes from South Main clear TO Grand,
And full on every floor;
The prices are what we can stand,
We can ask for nothing more.
The clerks are always civil,
And they wait on you with care.
Their Pictures, Rockers, Lounges,
Are pleasing, new and rare.
So, Jane put on your bonnet,
And button up your shoes;
You make me tired, here waiting,
While bargain we may lose.
And If we're short of money,
They will give us q chance to pay,
Come, hurry up my honey,
won't wait another day.
JAMES RETURN.
We'll, George, I've seen that store
You talked about tonight,
And it's just as you have stated
It is pleasant sight.
Those Sixteenth Century Rockers
In willow, plush, rattan,
Are elegant and durable,
I'll have one if can.
II.
l thought of the night when hrst we met
Twas on the parlor floor;
How much their stock has since improved
Indeed it is THE store.
And the people seem to know it,
As they're walking up and down;
It's THE place to buy our furniture
As long as we're in town.
We wish you merry Christm as,
All who helped to make our pile;
And when you come to see us,
We will greet you with a smile.
As sure as Mary had lamb,
And two and one are three,
If you want to furnish up in style,
We're the fellows you want to see.
-MoRIARTY.
As George and Jane speak, so do all who visi
our mammoth establishment. We want everv
one to come and and SsS Ss this a as we Sss
stock OF goods ever shown In the Naugatuc
