Mental Balance


Mental Balance.
HAZELToN, Pa, July 3.-One year ago
Charles Boyer, of Morrisons was married
Nine months later he was a widower. He
becams crazed with grief eventually, and
as result his afTiiction produced de-
mentia pronounced incurable He raved
continually about his wife, and entertained
the idea that she had been foully dealt
with. So strongly did he believe in this
that his friends decided to disinter the
body. They did so, and the body was
found face downwards, and all the evi-
dence which goes to show that the woman
had been buried alive was plainly appar-
ent. The glass in the lid of the coffin was
broken to atoms
The shroud enveloping the form was
torn to shreds. The limbs were twisted
and distorted, the hair matted and in her
hands she clenched bunch of it. Those
who were engaged in disinterring the
body fell back, entirely overcome. The
most composed man in the party was the
demented husband. He assumed an air of
complacency and assisted in the work of
rearranging the body. He has shown no
signs of mental alteration since, and from
all appearances his mental powers have
been restored

official Report of the Disaster to the Bat
tleship Victoria.
LONDON, July 3.-The facts about the
sinking of the battleship Victoria have
reached the admiralty in charge of a mid
shipman sent by Admiral Markham, of the
Camperdown. They verify the statements
heretofore made and show that Admiral
Tryon made the mistake of his life. and
with his life paid the forfeit. He ordered
the "gridiron" mannuvre at a moment
when the distance made its successful ex-
ecution impossible.
Almost as~Son as the manoeuvre was be-
gun a collision was seen to be inevitable.
and both vessels had their engines re-
versed when they struck. A peculiar fact
seems to be that the compartments on the
Victoria were closed in time, but without
effect Almost at the moment of going
down there was no water in the engine
room. Statements are given by several of
the Victoria's officers, all going to show that
Iryon was aware of the danger from the
start, but went on with recklessness that
is inexplicable.
