AWOKE IN HER COFFIN.
YOUNG LADY IN A LONG TRANCE
ESCAPES HER BURIAL.

She Dreamed She Was in Heaven-Severai
Physicians Had Pronounced Her Dead
After a Most Critical Examination-No
Unusual Sensations After She Aroused.
WEST CHESTER, July 1.-THE little vii
lage of Knauertown, up in the northern
part of Chester county, is just now greatly
exercised over the most remarkable expert
ence of Miss Mary Bradley, the 16-year-old
daughter of well-known resident of that
place The young lady has just recovered
from trance-or state of catalepsy-and
while she lay in this condition several
physicians, who examined her, pronounced
her dead. So closely were the symptoms OF
death indicated by the rigor of her body
and the CLASSY stare of her eyes, that but
for the tint which remained in her cheeks
her interment would have doubtless taken
place and she would have revived only to
have smothered in the close confines OF a
coffin. AS it was, the body was laid out for
burial when animation returned.
During the five days that she lay in this
condition, friends took turns in watching
beside the body. Every art known to the
medical fraternity was resorted to in order
to establish the presence of death or life.
Her parents would not permit her burial,
clinging to the hope that it was but state
OF suspended animation, as their daughter
had not been i'll, but went into the state
from quiet sleep.
There were several friends waiting about
the coffin on Wednesday night, and hope
had almost died out in the hearts of her
parents when the color in her face was
noticed to grow deeper, the bosom heaved,
and finally the eyelids trembled. There
were spasmodic twitchings of the limbs,
and the girl seemed to be in a troubled
dream. Finally, after two hours of this
troubled sleep, the eyes opened, and, seeing
her friends sitting about, she exclaimed:
I've had such funny dream. thought L
was dead and went to heaven. Oh, it was
so beautiful there, such sweet music and
happiness everywhere. 1 saw Uncle John,
and he is SO contented. 1t was like sitting
in great cathedral and listening to divine
music with ones eyes shut"
She continued in this strain for some time,
and was greatly surprised when told she
had been unconscious for five days. She
felt no fatigue, was not unusually hungry,
and appeared generally as we'll as usual.
The case is a mystery to the physicians.
Generally they ascribe her period of cata-
lepsy to physical conditions favorable to
suspended animation. She has been a
close biblical student, and her piety is of
the deepest, so that her ''dream' is the nat
ural result in such case.

The Health Bureau Officials Have Quar-
ters That May He Looked At.
The Bureau of Health has now the finest
and best equipped Offices of any department
of the city government. They are located
in the old University building at Ross and
Diamond streets. All the Office furniture
and carpets belonging to the Bureau were
destroyed in the Seventh street fire and
necessitated the purchasing of an entire
newsoutft.
The offices occupy the two northwest cor
ner rooms of the first and second floors.
The rooms have been re-papered, painted
and furnished at cost of over 81 900. New
electric lights and fine chandeliers have Just
been put in, and with the exception of two
ratings that are to be put in this week
everything is complete. The covers of the
birth, marriage and death records were dam
aged somewhat by water at the fire and will
all have to be recovered with canvas at a
cost of a couple of hundred dollars.

CAPTURED WITH A TRUNK.
A Reformatory Inmate Arrested Early This
Morning.

James Hunter, alias Weaver, IS years old,
was arrested early this morning for stealing
trunk. Some weeks ago James Ham
ilton, who boarded at Mrs Linney's
house, No. 727 Forbes street, went to
st. Louis, leaving his trunk packed, and
instructions to give it to no one till he came
back. Hunter late last night went to the
house in cab and sent the driver in to get
the trunk and to tell that Hamilton was
waiting outside for it.
The trunk was turned over to him and
they started down town. He aroused the
drivers suspicious by trying to sell the
trunk, so that he told an officer and had
Hunter arrested. At Central station the
trunk was opened and found to contain sew
eral suits of clothes and other articles.
Hunter is well-known to the police.
Detectives Robinson and Coulson arrested
him and three others several months ago
for robbing Attorney Ferguson's house, and
Hunter was sent to the Huntingdon Re-
formatory. He is now out on parole. ..

A FAMINE THREATENED
In the Southern Provinces of Guatemala
Owing to a Scarcity of Grain.

Owing to Scarcity of Grain.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArCH1
NEW YORK, July 1.-THE news of a
great scarcity of grain in the southern
provinces of Guatemala, Central America, a
scarcity so great as to threaten famine,
has reached this city by the last mail. La
Estrella de 0rieate, published in Chiquimla,
town of Southern Guatemala, situated a
few miles northeast of the city of Guate-
mala, says editorially, in referring to the
threatened suffering from hunger:
This is the greatest of our misfortunes and
miseries. The present scarcity of grain is
unprecedented in this region. The price of
corn has risen to So fanega (about S 5000 ears
of corn), and the price is small matter be-
side the fact of the scarcity of the article
According to our way of thinking, in order
to provide for the necessities of the people,
the Government ought to send outside for
supplies of corn and dispose of it at cost
price. We believe this is the only way to
prevent the horrors of the famine which
threatens us.
There was but three inches of rain during
the last rainy season, although the normal
rainfall there is about " inches AS a re-
suit shelled corn was worth 50 busheI in
the markets of Granada and Wanagna, as
against 30 to 35 cents in ordinary times,
while hay sold at 5 cents handful, and
cattle were dying of starvation in the woods.

Assassins Write a Threat on the Tombstone
of Their Victim.
SOFIA, July 11.-Public attention has
been again called to the matter of the assas-
sination of NJ. Constantine Beltcheff, the
Bulgarian Minister of Finance, who was
shot and killed on the evening of March
81, last, while walking in the streets of this
city in company with NJ. Stambuloff, the
Bulgarian Prime Minister, and who it was
thought was assassinated in mistake for NJ.
Stambulof, whom he somewhat resembled.
The revival of interest in the case has
been caused by the discovery that some un-
known persons had inscribed on the tomb
stone of NJ. Beltcheff the following words:
"Forgive us. We aimed at Stambulof' and
struck you. The second time we will not
fail" Although he has had the matter
thoroughly Investigated, NJ. StamlJuloff has
failed to find the persons who were guilty. of
writing the threat against his life on the
tombstone, as there are too many persons
on whom suspicion has fallen.

The New National Federation Issues a
Circular at New York.
NEW YORK, July 1.-THE new National
Federation organized to aid the home-rule
movement in Ireland issued to-day the fol-
lowing address:
To the Friends of Home Rule in Ireland:
grave danger to the Irish cause compels
us to address you on the present occasion.
Mr. Parnell can no longer be regarded as a
possible leader of the Irish movement. The
worship and one-man leadership. The ad-
herents of Parnell speak of his social quail
ties, etc, but that is not all: his intolerant
bearing toward the majority of the Irish
parliamentary party has insulted them, as
has his cold-hearted treatment of the
tenantry.
In conclusion the address says:
We are on the eve of general election. It
is considered on all sides that the question
of home rule will be settled favorably OF ad-
versely by this election for another general
term. We therefore invite all who SYM
pathize with the cause to lend their aid; to
enroll freely in the Irish National Fedora
tion. We ask that the representatives of
the people be faithfully sustained by every
unwavering friend of Ireland, that all may
have an opportunity of performing the last
generous duty to Ireland.
The circular is signed by Thomas Adds
Emmet, M. D., President; E. Kelly, Treas
urer; james S. Coleman, Secretary, and
John Byrne, Chairman of the Board of
Trustees.
