The Resurrection Bone.

Throughout the Middle Ages it was be
lieyed that there exists in man bone i'm
ponderable, incorruptible, incombustible,
the necessary nucleus of the resurrection
body. Belief in resurrection OF the physi-
cal body, despite st. Paul's Epistle to the
Corinthians, had been Incorporated into
the formula made many centuries after his
time, and called the Apostles Creed, and
was held throughout Christendom, "al
ways, everywhere, and by ALL"
This hypothetical bone was therefore
held in great generation, and many anato-
mists sought to discover it; but Vesalius,
revealing so much else, did not find it, and
was therefore suspected of a want Of proper
faith. He contented himself with saving
that he left the question regarding the ex
istence Of such bone to the theologians
He could not lie, he did not wish to fight
the Inquisition, aud thus he fell under
suspicion.
The strength Of this theological point
may be judged from the fact that no less
eminent a surgeon than RioIan consulted
the executioner TO find out whether, when
he burned a criminal, all the parts were
consumed, and only then was the answer
received which fatally undermined this
superstition. Yet in 1859 we find it still
lingering in France, creating an energetic
opposition in the church to dissection.
Even rs late as the Eighteenth century,
Bernouili having shown that the living
human body constantly undergoes a series
of changes, so that all its particles are re
newed in given number of years, so much
Ill feeling was drawn upon him, especially
from the theoiogians, who saw in this
statement danger to the doctrine of the
resurrection of the body, that for the sake
of peace he struck out his argument on
this subject from his collected works.

shotgun shells.

practical joke was played by an ex
Confederate officer, Colonel Aylett, upon
some of his old companions In arms. He
had company of friends at his country
place, near Richmond, and one evening a
display of fireworks was announced. To
ward the close of the evening Colonel Ay-
lett called me and two or three other young
fellows to him and said, 81 want you to
help me fool some of the old soldiers, II
you will"
OF course we jumped at the chance, and
asked for orders.
"What | mean to do" he said, ''is to
make these veterans believe that ! am

a cracker into the air as high as possible,
so that it will explode before reaching the
ground"
We slipped away in the darkness, and
the guests were invited out upon the lawn
to see the colonel shoot some small bomb
shells from his gun.
The signal was given, and the gun was
fired. In few seconds bright flash was
! seen in the air, and loud explosion fol
lowed. The shots were repeated until six

A Young Man From Danbury Finds His
 Fathers Other Wife.
 DANBURY, Conn.,, Aug 3. Thirteen years ago Erastus Beckett came to Dan- bury and"soon built a prosperous busi- ness as natter. He left in England a wife and four children. Indifference finally led to complete obliteration of them, and six years ago Beckett married a Danbury girl. Last year his oldest son, John Beckett, went to England on a pleasure trip and met the oldest daugh- ter of Erastus Beckett and his deserted wife.
 The young man, unconscious of their relationship to Erastus, fell desperately in love with the girl and secured her promise to marry him. He came back to Danbury and continued the correspond ence without any hint of the matter reaching Erastus. A month ago the young man sent for Emily and her mother to cross the ocean and join him in Dan bury. The bride-elect arrived in New York yesterday, accompanied by her mother, the discarded wife of Bras tus. The news has spread throughout the town and everybody is waiting in great curiosity for the moment whom Erastus meets his deserted wife. The young man proposes to wed Emil y whether her father likes it or not.

MURDERED BY A MOB
A Family of Seven Persons
 Killed by Italians.
BUTCHERED AND THEN BURNED.
All the Victims Had Their Throats Out
 and Were Repeatedly Stabbed

It Is BeIievrd That Enemies of the Family
 A Desperate Causes Murder and
 Panio-Three Persons Killed and the
 Murderer Escapes.
 CATTLErTsBURG, Ky, Aug. 3.-Wayne County, w. Va, was the scene of series of murders last night. MT. Brumfield, his wife and five children were mur- dered in a most horrible manner and their bodies consumed by fire.
 About midnight 50 Italian railroad laborers became drunk and started on a tour of devastation. The Brumfield fam fly were thought to have considerable money.
 The Italians went to Brumfield's resi- dence and were refused admission. Doors and windows were then forced open. MT. Brumf1eld with his two half-grown sons fought with desperation, but were final ly murdered, their throats being cut from ear to ear and the bodies repeatedly stabbed. Mrs. Brumfeld and her three little children were next killed by the drunken Italians, who then searched the house for money and set it on fire.
 As soon as Sheriff Spurlock heard of the murder he summoned posse of the most brave and determined men In wayne County and started upon a search for the murderers.
 Every Italian camp on the Norfolk & Western Railroad has been searched thor oughly, and should they be fortunate enough to discover the murderers a repe- tition of the New Orleans affair will be the result, with no time for jury -bribing. The people are thoroughly aroused and determined that blood shall be the only atonement.
 MT. Brumfeld was influential and wealthy. Two or three years ago, while county commissioner, he opposed the building of a new court house and thus made many enemies. The court house was built, and it is thought that the murderous work was the result of the old feud, and that Brumf1eld's enemies supplied the Italians with liquor and then pointed out the path to the residence.

TRAGEDY AT A BALL.
Three Deaths Caused by 9 Tough ChAraC

Three Deaths Caused by Tough Charac-
 ter Who Insisted on Dancing.
 DURANGO, Col, Aug 3.-News has just been received here of terrible tragedy which occurred at ball in the Blue Mountains Saturday night.
 While the dancing was going on a tough character by the name of Tom Roach insisted on dancing. He was drunk and armed with knife and pis- tol. He was not allowed to dance and raised @ row.
 Frank Hyde tried to quell the disturb ance, and was stabbed by Roach in ssv- eral places and soon after died. A cow boy by the name of William McCord tried to pacify Roach. This seemed to enrage Roach more than ever, and draw ing his revolver he killed McCord on the spot.
 A boy slipped away to @ house near by, and, securing a Winchester, returned to the ball room and took aim and fired at Roach, killing Mrs. Walton, an es- timable lady, living in the community
 In the excitement Roach escaped and is still at large.
