visiting old-time friends here with his
family. There is popularity about
this family which may be said to be un-
paralleled Joyce was married six years
ago to a young lady of Phenixville,
Pa, and during the first five years of
their married life the couple became
the parents of eleven children. The
first were triplets, the second triplets,
the third twins and the fourth triplets.
All are living and in the enjoyment of
excellent health. The mother is a
small woman, weighing apparently not
more than one hundred pounds, and is
in the evident possession of unimpaired
health. The father is an ordinary APP.
pearing man, who is very proud of his
achievements in the family line.

building with rare works of art, and
then give everything to the city of Chi

A Lady's Narrow Escape from
Being Buried Alive.
While They Were Placing Her in the Coma
She Seizes One OF the Attendants by
the Wrists and Holds OH
She VIII Recover.

WARSAW, Ill, Feb. IA thrill OF
horror swept over this community and
the surrounding country Thursday,
when it was learned that Mrs. j. Will
son, living twelve miles south of this
city, had had struggle TO keep from
being buried alive and there was an
expression OF JOY on all sides when it
was ascertained that she had escaped
with her life.
On last Saturday MIRA Wilson became
suddenly i'll and to all appearances
died She was dressed for burial and
all arrangements for the funeral were
made. No physician was called in the
case. On Monday a neighbor was sent
to Warsaw for coffin, but instead Of
going to a coffin shop he visited the sa'
looms and got drunk, so he did not get
back to the Wilson house until early
Tuesday morning.
AS soon as the coffin arrived the
watchers began to place the supposed
corpse of Mrs. Wilson in the coffin,
when to their horror the supposed dead
woman threw up her arms and caught
one of the attendants by both wrists,
holding on with deathlike grip. With
difficulty the woman's fingers were re-
leased from their vise-like clutch on the
watchers arms. No other signs of life
were detected, and it was only by the
aid of a mirror that respiration was
discovered.
Restoratives were applied, and in a
few hours Mrs. Wilson was enabled to
talk. She is too weak to make much
explanation Of her experience while in
the trance, but the agonies she suffered
while the preparations were being
made for her burial were simply awful.
1t was with superhuman efforts that
she was enabled to throw up her arms
and clutch the wrists of the attendant
Mrs Wilson will recover.

A Good Report from Copiah.

EDITOR LEADER:-The Hon. Z. j.
Millsaps Elector State at large, made
one of the master speeches of his life
at Pleasant Hill Alliance Hall in Beat
8, Copiah county. He spoke for two
hours, explaining to all fair think
ing men that the tariff and Force bill
were to drive men into the Democratic
party, that the only live issue before
the people was more money at less
rate of interest direct from the Govern
ment to the people.
His speech had telling effect on his
hearers, which resulted in much good
for the Peoples party. The last speak
er was richly rewarded by downing a
great bore who attends all public gath
erings of the Peoples party for the pur-
pose of ridiculing them. When the old
gentleman made his attack the speaker
called for him to take the stand, which
he did; and in less than five minutes
his brain failed him and he was left
without his reckoning.
1t was great occasion for the PEG
pies party. Let us take courage for
triumph awaits us on the Sth of Novem-
Der. If we be true TO our wives and
children the day will be ours So let
us work until the last vote is polled.
FAIR Play
Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1892-11-03
THEORY AND PRACTICE

Col. Hooker is fond of quoting in his
speeches from Chief Justice Marshall
to the effect that the taxing power is
the most tyrannical of all powers vested
in government. Then he tells his hear
ers 'that the government doesn't own
dollar it doesn't take out of the
pockets of the people YOUR POCK-
ETS," etc.
The Colonel seems. to forget this,
however, when it comes to voting away
$4,000 of the taxpayers money for
Naval displays, as he did in the last
Congress, and for supplying himself
and 335 other members of Congress
with a private clerk at 800 per month
each, as he did in the Reed Congress.
If we judge though by what Chan
Gerry Clerk Jones, of Claiborne, Elk
Sheriff Davenport of Jefferson, and
others say about the Colonel as a let
terwriter, he needs a private clerk to
look after his letters and answer his
correspondents, and needs him bad.

THE ELECTION

No man can predict, with any degree
of certainty, what the result of next
Tuesdays Presidential contest will be.
A great deal depends on New York. and
Republican and Democratic chances
there, to the unbiased observer, appear
to be about equally divided. 1t prom
ises to be an election of surprises in
several respects.
There are 444 votes in the electoral
college this year, 223 being majority
of the whole. The State Ledger, a
Democratic authority, estimates that
the solid South will give Mr.. Cleveland
109. This leaves Ga votes to be won in
Northern States. New jerseys 10 and
Conneticut's 6 will give 16, which
leaves a shortage of 49, With the 36
votes of New York added there will
still be lacking II votes. Indiana's
10 votes would give the majority with
three votes to spare. But Indiana is a
doubtful State. Michigan may give
Mr.. Cleveland four votes, but without
Indiana he would still have minority.
We think it exceedingly doubtful
whether Mr.. Cleveland will carry the
South solidly. If he and Harrison
both fail to. get a majority of all the
votes, which seems quite probable, the
election would be thrown in the House,
and Cleveland would be President and
Reid President.
Kinds, Madison, jefferson and, posi-
bly, Claiborne, will go for Hooker; Co
piah, Franklin, Lincoln, Rankin and
Simpson will go for Robinson. This is
the way it looks with the lights before
US. The sizes of their majorities, re-
spectively, in these counties will deter
mine who is the winner in the district.
If necessary, the publication of next
weeks LEADER will be delayed until
the result of the Presidential contest
and the Congressional election in Mis-
sissippi is definitely known.

THE WRONG OK GonED.

The Clarion, Raymond Gazette and
other Democratic organs feign to be
much exercised because Peoples party
men in some counties in this State
where they have been given no
recognition on the Board of Election
commissioners, have petitioned for U.
S. supervisors. They seem to forget that
U. S. Marshals and Supervisors were
at the polls in Southern States in 1888,
under orders from President Cleveland
and that Democratic Attorney -Gener-
al Garland directed that "uigiIant men
acho acre conscientious arorhers, 'dpd no
others" be appointed for this business

THREE THINGS

The LEADER wishes to call special at
tention to touching the election. l.
That each party has a right to have
challengers to represent it inside the
voting place. 2. That the box shall not
be removed from the polling building
after the polls are open until the count
is complete, if three qualified electors
object 3. That 1.-THE managers shall
publicly open the box and count the
ballots, at the same time reading aloud
the names of the persons voted for
etc. (See sections 81, 80 and 46 of cleo
ton law published on 4th page of the
LEADER.)

It has been shown before that Mr..
Cleveland received on terms of social
equality at the White House Fred
Douglass, and that he appointed ne
groes to office in preference to white
Democrats who we're hungry for office
from long waiting. 1t now appears
from this well-authenticated record
that Grover is not averse to mixing the
races in public schools. How do our
Southern Democratic friends who have
been shouting for Grover as the pink
of perfection take to the idea?
