nouncing the exhibition of petr1fied
woman.
The contract on which the humbugs
were furnished called for the payment
of g, 800, and promised a petrified wo-
man so cast as to be apparently the
petrified remains of a member of the
ancient race of mound builders of
Central America. The figure was to be
discovered, as though in good faith, in
the coast range of mountains and under
circumstances likely to give rise to press
reports favorable to the story that is it a
genuine petrlfaction.
The 'Packwood" man was on. exhibit
ton in various towns and cities in North
Carolina during the month of Septem-
Der, as having come from Fresno, CAL.
i'll an alkali district, where everything
petriIies, even snakes and toads. This
fake was exposed by the News and
Observer and State Chronicle, of
Raleigh, n. c., on Oct. Z, in letter
from the postmaster of Fresno City,
Cal. 1t stated that the alleged petrifac-
ton was made i'll that county and
planted in the Cantua district, which is
not an alkali district, but is unavailable
, because no means for irrigating it are
practicable.
Inc p6trl1acCl0n was dfterWard dis
| covered by Mr.. Packwood, and was
exhibited IN the cities of California with

was followed by that of female form.

it was curiosity.

BOGUS PETRIFIED WOMAN.

washington Post.
Some twenty doubling scientists
stayed away from church yesterday and
improved the opportunity offered them
to seek the truth about the alleged
petrifed woman which Mr. E. j. Taylor
has on exhibition at 1345 Pennsylvania
avenue. Mr.. Taylor had been very
honest in wishing to have a thorough
examination, and the scientists were
curious to conduct it in the interests of
their calling. They do not believe that
flesh will petrify under any conditions
before it decays, and they went home
from their examination thoroughly con-
WINGED of their own wisdom Oh the point.
In fact, the petritied woman turned
out to be only petrified humbug; that
is, the scientists declared that it was not
a natural petrifactlon. The lump of rock
was removed from the bier on which it
had been resting and hole bored into
one of the lower limbs. 1t was discov-
cred that the composition of the boringS
was nothing but what might be made
from sand and Portland cement,if they
were mixed in the right proportion.
, Some of the anatOmiStS, who were con-
WINGED that 1t was not genuine before
the examination was made, predicted
that the man who was pushing the bit
into the specimen would strike rod OF
iron, but no rod was found.
The specimen purports to come from
the mountain Businesses near Fresno,
CAL, and the scientists unite in believ.
ing that DR.. Taylor is honest, but say he
has been deceived, and that it is a prod
uct of a petrifaction factory near
Fresno, which is run by a certain
"Press" Bczeman. That factory, says
| the San Francisco Examiner of May 10
1893, was running full blast at that time
and had turned out six or seven fine
specimens, of which 'Packwood" maj
was the first, and attracted considerable
notoriety. Bezeman has been turning
out these fakes for three years, and TIT
models are likeness OF his beautiful
daughters.
Mrs. Mamie Bozeman and Miss Moral
are both said to have done duty In thu

WTLKEsBARRE, Pa, Dec. "A
frightfuI accident occurred on the Le-
high Valley railroad at O'clock this
morning. 4 freight train bound east
broke in half about mile north of
White Haven. The engineer did not
notice that his traiu was disconnected,
and proceeded on his way. A flagman
and brakeman we're on the rear end of
the train, aid they made every effort
to bring the runaway cars, which
were going down grade at rapid
rate, to a stop. They had nearly sue
ceeded when Wreck Engine No. III
came along behind. The flagman of
the runaway train was busy putting on
the brakes, and was not at his post
to signal trains following. The engi-
neer of the wreck engine says he saw
no signal ahead, and while running
rapidly the engine plowed its way
through the cabooSe and four Of the cars
ahead, finally landing in the principal
street of the town, which runs parallel
with the railroad. The stove in the
caboose set fire to the wreck, and in a
short time the flames communicated to
the dwelling houses along the street.
Ruhnke's hotel, the largest in the town,
was soon in blaze. t. w. Rickers'

caught. The fire department worked
hard and prevented the spread OF
the flames. The hotel was entirely
