The Doubiy Horrible Experience OF n

Christina Behra is not 20 years old, but in
spite of her youth mas twice barely escaped
being buried alive. When in Germany four
years ago the undertaken was about to screw
down the coffin lid when she was found to

process termed viewing the body" For
over year Christina has been living at

supporting herself as seamStress.
One morning the sisters quarreled and
Anna had Christina arrested for assault.
She was locked up in the Newtown Jail, aud
this morning when the keeper went to call
her he found her lying unconscious When a
physician arrived he found no evidence OF
life and pronounced her dead.
Then Coroner Homeyer said he could OF
waste any time on the case, and immedi-
ately impaueled jury. The girl was
taken to n neighbOTing undertaker's shop
and placed over the conventional ice-box
and covered with sheet. =
While the inquest was in progress one of
the jurymen saw the sheet move, and when
they uncovered Christmas face they found
her eyes wide open. She was taken to the
hospital, where they said she was suffering
from cataleptic trance, but would recover

Concluded 70 Live Awhile Longer.

There was humorous side to the at
tempted self-destruction of Ben Russell, an
old negro man, living just below here. who
borrowed rope few days ago. climbed a
tree and tied one end of the rope TO a limb
and the other around his neck and jumped
out. He made bad calculation as to the
length OF the rope, as the bow, or bend of
the rope, as 1t hung down, struck the ground
before he did. While he was squirming
around on the ground and grunting over his
sudden take up, his wife came up. She had
suspected something, and when he saw her,
he twisted his head to one side, stuck it
down on the ground and tried to ACT as if his
neck was unfit for any further earthly use.
Ben" his wife said. what yer want ter
kill yerself fer?"
"Kase de wedder Is too hot ter liv," said
Ben.

Thrilling Experience of an Engineer on
s..-s.--- the Erie.
a fearful accident occurred at railroad
crossing in this city on the evening Il Mon
day, July eth, whereby the Rev. Yelling
ton. White, n missionary 10 China. his
daughter Lillian, her friend Hattie Hast
ings, with nurse-girI, Susie Mccarthy,
were instantly killed, writes an Elmira cor
respondent Of the st. Louis Gobe-Demo-
crat. Mrs. White and her daughters. Mary
and Mabel, were terribly perhaps fatally
injured. James Nolan, the engineer ON an
Erie way freight, and his fireman, Thomas
Mccarthy, relate thrilling experience at
this fatal crossing on night last week.
81 was pulling a freight from Hornells-
VILE" says Mr.. Nolan. .'and we were run
ming thirty-fye miles an hour when we
reached the dreaded spot The night was
cloudy, but occasionally the moons rays
broke through the clouds and lighted the
tracks ahead of US. Mccarthy was busy
firing the engine, and as peered ahead into
the darkness l could see that the track was
clear. Suddenly l observed a buggy driv-
ing up the street directly toward the tragic
spot. Thinking TO attract the attention of
the occupants / gave several short, sharp
blasts Of the whistle, but still the carriage
came on. BY this time We had almost
reached the crossing, and, thoroughly
frightened, 1 whistled down brakes, but it.
was too late, and although the engine WAS
reversed the impetus Of the heavy train
forced it forward and struck the carriage
square in the middle. Strangely enough,
there were no sounds of a crash, although
several forms could be seen flying through
the air. | looked from my cab window. /
plainly saw the body of a little girl hurled
beneath the driving wheels of my engine,
which passed over it, severing the head
from the trunk, stream OF blood dyeing
the rails and road-bed"
The engineers exclamation and his danger
whistle attracted the attention of Mccarthy,
who, glanclng from the opposite side Of the
cab, plainly saw the form of mau thrown
some distance up the track. The trainmen,
hearing the signal, set the brakes, and the
engineer and firemen hurried to the spot ex-
pecting TO witness horrible sight, but moth
ing could be seen. All was calm and peace
ful-not a sign Of anything unusual or
trace Of the carriage or its occupants. The
head brakeman coming forward to ascertain
the cause Of delay found both engineer and
fireman staring at each other with blanched
faces. The men climbed back into the en-
CINE cab and the train proceeded on its way.
The engineer and fireman are firmly con-
WINGED that the crossing is haunted.

A Maine family consists of six brothers
so exactly alike that nc one but their closest
friends can tell which is which. One day
they happened be in a strange town and
all wanted a shave. One of them went into
a barber-shop, was shaved and paid the
customary 10 cents. Five minutes later APP
parently the same man came back into the
Shop, very wrathy, his beard bristling with
three days growth. He swOre that he
bad not been half shaved and demanded
that the work be done over.
The astonished barber apologized and
complied, but judge of his horror when, not
ten minutes later, his customer came back
madden than ever, his beard still showing
on his face, and demanded another shave.
Again the barber, after some protest, COM
piled, but when his man returned the fourth
time it was too much.
See herew lie cried, "if you're trying TO
sell me some patent hair raiser I'll take
your whole stock; but if you are an es-
capped museum freak either you've got to get
out or I'll have to close the shop" -.
The fifth and sixth brothers had to pay

A LIFE OF TORTURE.
A Springfield (ohio) Man Who Is Gradl
ally Lnainy His EnnAs.

A Springfield (ohio) Man Who Is Gradu-
ally Losing His Bones.
4 verltable wonder of the nineteenth
century has been brought to light here and
is just now receiving wide medical atten-
ton. His name is William Green and DIR.
Baldwin pronouGces his affection ''ostis
malacia," a disease in which :he bone
structure crumbles away and is absorbed by
the blood on account of failure of assimla-
ton. A portion of the skull over his right
eye is gone. leaving no protection for a
space Of about two and half inches in
diameter. There being nothing to hold the
water which usually surrousds the brain, it
presses against the eyebaH and would force
IL out were it not for q bandage over the
eye, which he is compelled to wear con-
Stantly.
Another large portion of the bone has
been absorbed from the top OF his skull and
a tumnr has been formed by the pressure of
the water underneath. His breast bone has
been softened and bulges out. so that he has
become what is popularity known as pigeon
breasted.
He is an exceptionally intelligent young
man and the story of his suffering as ne
related it is pitiful in the extreme. He
comes from Greene County and is now re-
siding with his married brother. The
years ago and since that time the bone
structure of his body has grown steadily
weaker, incapacitating him for any work
that would expose him TO knocks, etc.
About year ago ne broke his left leg. Ii
was, OF course. very slow in healing. When
he was able to go about on crutchss he
slipped one day and broke the other leg.
Physicians think il will never knit. Two
of his spinal vertebfe have disappeared
under this increasing absorption, leaving a
portion of the spinal cord unprotected by
anything but the skin. For one year he
was compelled to lie on bis stomach, as
the shock which recumbent position
invariably produced caused intense suf-
ferings. This has gradually been over
come, however, and he can rest with some
thing of ease on his back. In fact. if the
continual crumbling of his skeleton goes ON
and physicians are agreed that 1t is almost
impossible to stop il, life of lingering
torture is the uncheering prospect he has
TO look forward to. = Springfield (Ohio,

Mission and Golden Gate Parlors Decide
on Santa Cruz.
After very noisy meeting in Fraternal
Hall on Sixteenth street last night, Mission
Parlor, No. 80, n. S. G. w, decided to 90 to
Santa Cruz by steamer. This was upon the
second call for reconsideration of the par
lOr's decision not to go, so it is partial vic
tory for the persistent minority. There
were l25 members and 100 visiting Native
Sons present, making one Of the largest
meetings the parlor has had for three years.
II took two hours TO settle the question
whether the previous action of the parlor
could be recousidered Mt special meeting.
The President ruled it could be properly
considered. and an appeal was taken to the
members, with the result that the Presi-
dent was sustained by vote OF 70 to AZ.
a motion was then made to reconsider,
and was, after much fighting, carried. but
only on the basis that the parlor should go
by steamer. About the same vote prevailed
Oh this question.
a committee was appointed to look after
charteIing of a steamer. though many menl-
bers say they will go by rail, regardless OF
the parlor's decision.
