A Proof of Death.

If most, people are afraid of any
thing it is of being buried alive.
That cases do happen where it is
difficult for the most experienced
physicians to determine whether
person is really or only apparently
dead, may be judged from the fact
that at different times scientific as
sociations ard even governments have
offered prizes for the discovery of
some means by which it might at once
be determined whether death had
actually ensued or rot. AS late as
1873 the French Academy of Sciences
offered a prize of 10000 francs for
practical "death test" The professor
who obtained the prize gives the
following unique directions, which,
if carried out to the letter, will prove
conclusively whether or not life is ex-
tinct. Take the hand of the supposed
dead person and hold it between
yourself and lighted lamp. Extend
the fingers so that each one touches
his fellow. Then look at the space
between them. If a scarlet red color
appears where the fingers touch, life
is not extinct, because the scarlet
lines show that the blood is still
circulating through the tissues, which
have not yet congested.
If, on the other hand, the expert
ment show no red lines. life has in
deed vanished and there is no further
hope of reviving the tabernacle Of
clay" or fears of burying it alive.
1t is said that the most extensive and
thorough trials have established the
truth of these observations.

Resolutions of Coincidence.

WHEREAS it has pleased Almighty
God to remove from our midst our
beloved and esteemed brother, DR.. Il.
c. McHenry, and while with obedient
hearts we humbly submit to his in
scrutable providences, we neverthe-
less sadly deplore the sudden stroke
that has caused a vacancy in our
lodge room, and that has covered the
entire community with gloom. Be it
therefore,
Resolved, That in his death, Lodge
No. 746, I. o. of o. F., our order has
lost an esteemed brother, strong
pillar, useful member and an en-
thusiastic worker.
Resoloe0, That our community has
been deprived of an eminent physi-
clan, friend to the poor, and an en-
terprising and progressive citizen.
Resolved, that we extend to the
family of the deceased, who have been
bereft of a kind husband, a devoted
father and a sympathetic protector,
eur heartfelt sympathy and commend
them to the watchful care of Him
who doeth all things well.
Resolced, That our lodge room be
draped with the usual insignia OF
mourning or period Of thirty days.
Resolved, That copy Of the reso-
lutiols be sent to the bereaved family,
that they be published in the Benton
Argus, The COLUMBIAN, Sentinel and
Republican Of Bloomsburg, and that
t..ey be engrossed upon he minutes
of this louge.

A New Summer Resort.
JUDGE RHoNE's PLAN TO CONVERT THE
HUNTINGTON VALLEY INTO A SUM-
MER CITY. ut

Judge Rhone, ever alert to advance
the material interests of Huntington
Valley, has project on foot to build
dam at high bridge, along the turn
pike, and make an immense lake
covering the land lying between that
point and Town Line. This was orr
ginally a vast lake, the outlet furnish
ing the motive power for a grist mill
in Hopkins glen which ground the
whole product Of the early Huntington
settlers. The area that would be
flooded is between two and three hun
dred acres, and is full of crystal
springs, one having discharge that
would fill two-inch pipe.
Judge Rhone's plan is to stock the
lake with fish and sell the lots along
the banks to people from the neigh
boring towns and cities who are in
search of wholesome air and pure
water. The proposed lake would be
within three miles Of Shickshipny and
on the line Of the projected electric
railway to Harveyville. The land that
will be flooded is too wet to be valua-
BILE for farming purposes and the farm
ers are ready to dispose of it at its act
ual value. The farm of Mr.. J. D..
Woodwork will be largely covered
and parts Of those adjoining.
County Surveyor Crockett made a
survey of the urODsrtv IN, Mondav and
Will make an accurate estimate of the
number of acres flooded and the size
of the dam required.
Huntington Valley is an inviting
spot for summer resort and if Judge
Rhone succeeds in his scheme it will
make boom in surrounding real es-
tate. A summer population such as a
lake of this kind would draw, would
make home market that would set
the farmer on his high horse. -Mick-

From the Moon to Iowa.

I believe it is now pretty generally
admitted that aerolites or meteorites
come from volcanoes on the moon.
One of the most remarkable OF these
falls Of stones from the upper region
of the air occurred in May, 1879, the
stones falling upon the farm of Mrs.
c. H. Perry, of Emmett County,
Iowa. Efforts were made to have the
stone removed to the museum of the
Davenport, Ia, Academy of Science,
but as auch proceeding would en-
tail an expense of something like $500
the mossbacks OF that institution let
the scheme fall through, the attempt
to raise the money having resulted in
flat failure. Finally Mr.. Berge, of
Keokuk, made a trip to Emmett
County for the porpose of inspecting
the curiosity.
After giving it thorough chemical
examination he came to the conclus-
ion that it was unlike anything in the
aerolite line that had ever been
attracted to our globe. BY a fine
system of chemical test he found that
it was composed of earth, triolite, iron
nickle, cobalt, gold, silica, magnesia,
alumina, soda, llthia, and potassium.
Berge bought the oddity off Mrs
Perry for $I6o and gave the tenant
of the farm $50 more for his "right''
and his help. 1t was removed to
Keokuk and exhibited there for some
time. At last the curators of the
British Museum, who had learned of
the odd combination of minerals
in the stones makeup, sent an agen,
to purchase it. After much pickering
the royal institution gave Mr.. Berge
$1,000 for his "moonstone," Il
weighed 43I pounds.

BERGMAN SENTENCED.
TwENTY-oNE YEARS IN PRISON.


PTTrsBURG, Sept. 70. Alexander Berg
man, the Anarchist, who tried to kill
H. {. Frick, was placed on trial this
morning in the criminal court, Judge
McClung presiding. Bergman was
cool and looked well. He pleaded
not guilty to the six charges Of feloni-
GUS assault and battery, entering a
building with felonious intent and car
rying concealed weapons. He had no
counsel. and preferred to conduct his
own case. A jury was obtained with
trouble and the case was opened.
H. c. Frick was the first witness.
He told of Bergman's visit to his Office
previous to the shooting, and recited
the story of the attempted assassina-
ton. The clothing worn by him on
the day Of the assault was exhibited.
The coat and trousers were blood
stained and filled with holes. When
they were shown Bergman coolly leaned
forward, but did not seem to take any
interest in the exhibit. ......
Ae was asked if he wanted to ask
any questions, and replied 81 want to
ask him if said l wanted to shoot
Mr.. Leishman for I did not"
The witness said he did not know
whether he did or not"
THAT is all" said the defendant. 81
have no more questions"
DIR. Litchhcld described the nature
of Mr.. Frick's wounds. Vice Chair
man Leishman's testimony in the main
was confederation of the evidence
given by Mr. Frick.
When Judge McClung asked Berg
man if he had anything to say he pro-
duced phamphlet, from which he
started to read. Judge McClung tried
to hold him to discussion of facts,
but Bergman continued in wild sort
of harangue until Judge McClung fin
ally stopped him. In giving his mo
tive for the crime Bergman said: AMY
reason for my act was to free the earth
Of the oppressors of the workingmen.
wanted to punish him, not murder
him. l did not assault Mr.. Frick but
the person who had oppressed organ
lied labor. / recognize no man by a
name, but the cause Of the trouble,
and wanted to remove the cause"
Here the court interrupted him. "You
have had your time," said the court.
sand you must stop. We have been
too indulgent,"
The case was then given to the jury,
and without leaving the box verdict
of guilty was found. The defendant
was at once called for and sentenced
and said ~ did not expect justice
and did not get it."
He was then sentenced to twenty
one years imprisonment in the peni
tertiary on the five charges of felonl
Gus assault and entering building
with felonious intent, and one year to
the workhouse for carrying concealed
weapons. Bergman looked sullen and
throwing back his head put his hat or
and started to leave the room. He
was at once taken in charge and re-
moved to Jail.
| On his arrival at the penitentiary
Bergman was carefully searched. Il
is believed that if opportunity offer:
he will carry out his threat of suicide
and for that reason he will be closely
watched and kept in close confinement
for six months.
