is IT DEATH OR A TRANCE7
Singular Case Of Clay G.. Hopper, Who
Is to All Appearances Not Dead.

TOLEDO, Jan 9.-There IL no apparent
change in the case of Clay G. Hopper, the
young man who was supposed to have
died nine days ago The body has the APP
pearance of one lying asleep. 1t is limp
and retains its natural color, the only
change being in pinkish spots about the
body, which are constantly changing to II
light blue and then growing deeper The
eyes remain as bright rs in life, and while
the heart is not beating the blood vessels
are plainly visible. DEATH if il is death,
was caused by dropsy of the heart.
1t was not an .nfrequent occurrence for
the young man To relapse into u trance and
remain with no visible signs of life for sew
eral hours. Last Sunday week the body
was placed IN the coffin and the funeral
sermon preached, when the father inter
fered just as the lid Of the coffin was about
to be placed in position Now Mr. Hopper
says that he will not permit the body to be
buried until satisfied that life will return

The carbuncle ring is now quite fre-
quently seen on the hands OF the FASH
ionable gentleman. One of the rarest
aud most precious stones is the carbun-
Gle, which is sometimes confounded
with the ruby, from which it differs by
the intensity of its fires, produced by an
internal luster Of gold, while under the
purple Of the ruby there only appear
dottings Of azure or lacquer. Ethiopia
produced the most precious ancient car
buncles. The Chaldeans regarded this
stone as powerful talisman. The vir.
tues of the carbuncle are resistance to
fire, preservation of the eyes, promotion
of pleasant dreams, creation of happy
illusions and an antidote against, impure
air.-Bangor Commercial.

1t is an error to suppose that rattles
are shed each year as are the horns of
the deer, or that new rattle is added
each time the skin is shed. A friend Of
mine owned a massasauga over one year,
and while the skin was exfoliated the
rattles remained intact and without ad-
ditions. Men who owned rattlesnakes of
the diamond species in Florida informed
me that an adult might add one or two
rattles-that is, sections to the rattle.
in year, or again not any, and that the
changing of the skin exfolstion had
nothing to do with the new formation.
All agreed that the older rattlers Of the
south were provided, as rule, with a
longer rattle than the young ones. Said
one man, pointing to six specimens cf
the diamond rattlesnake (Crotalus ada
manteus) about sixteen inches long and
possessed Of single rattle and button,
as the terminal and growing portion is
called:
"Those little rattlers were born In this
house, and when they were few weeks
old | mounted them as you see them. -

ANTI-GUARDsME OBJECT,
They Will Vigorously Oppose Chan
dlar's Bill to Abolish Them.

WAsHISGToN, Jan 8-Considerable OPP
position has been aroused against the bill
recently introduced by Senator Chandler,
which in its effect makes practically un-
lawful all independent military organiza-
tions in the United States not connected
with the national guard The regular
state militia organizations favor the bill, as
they have always resented the assumption
of social superiority of the independent or
CARNATIONS. While the bill is earnestly
advocate by the national guard, almost
every large city in the United States has
its crack military organization, not con-
nected with the national guard and they
will doubtless oppose the bill at every
stage. Arrangements are making by the
National Rifles Of this city, one of the in
dependent organizations, to appear before
the senate military committee and oppose
the bill in its present shape, and it is prob
able that the friends OF the respective indie
pendent organizations in other cities will
unite i'll opposition to the passage of the
measure unless amended.

NEW YORK. Jan. Cooper Union was
crowded last night with people anxious to
hear DIR. McGlynn's Sunday address. Be-
fore beginning his regular discourse he dc.
fined his own position with regard to the
United Labor party and the Anti Poverty

.On last Sunday evening"" he said, ito

Labor party platform and of the Anti Pow
erty society, my teaching of which doc

PLY terminated by the removal from me
of ecclesiastical censure. 1t is well that
should now add that the doctrinal state
ment was full and unreserved, and that it
nowise minimizes, explains away or de-
parts from the doctrine as | have been
teaching it for years. The making of that
doctriual statement, under the circum-
stances, might well be sufficient proof of
the fact, which / now positively affirm,
that no retractiou or condemnation OF
those doctrines was condition precedent
of the removal of the ecclesiastical cen

TO FIGHT THE UNIONS.
The Pennsylvania Road Orders Its En-
pioyes to Desert Their Industrial Or

CINCINNATI, Jan. 9The Pennsylvania
railroad has openly declared war on all or
Ran.zed labor Openly and without any
equivocation the order goes out that the
men must sever all connection with organ.
lied labor bodies or their names will be
erased from the pay rolls of the company
Saturday the crisis was reached, and as
the news of tho company's action has
reached every point ON the line, including
its spurs and ramifcations. there is intense
agitation al. over the country.
At indianapolis Oran Perry, city freight
agent, called the freight handlers before
him, saluting them with the remark: "All
OF you who desire to remain with the com.
pany instead Of the union will walk to this
side of the room" Fifteen did so and five
refused.
II do not want to be misunderstood, >"
continued Colonel Perry. "1'his company
will not furnish bread and butter to men
who are likely to prove unfaithful to it.
You cannot be loyal to the company and
to your union, and if you prefer the union
tothe company that pays you your wages,
well and good. 1t is not necessary to mince
matters. on five men are discharged,
and you will get your pay at once The
Others can return to work, but they cannot
continue to work and belong to the union.
This shall not be II union freight house
while am in charge The company re.
serves the right TO conduct its own bust
ness, and while am doing this Of my own
accord, am satisfied my superior officers
will find no fault with it."
Altogether there were twenty-threa
union men. Ten were discharged and the
remainder Withdrew from the union 1t
leaks out In connection with the pennsyl
vania Central affairs here, that where
there were nine members of the Order OF
Railway ielegraphers on the Indianapolis
division three weeks ago but three are
left, and these expect dismissal within
twenty four hours. Thus it is plninly evil
dent that the edict is far reaching and will
include engineers, iirempn, btdhemeu, con-
dncturs. switchmen and even freight
handlers.
In other words, every department. of la,
boz on the road banding themselves into a
body ior mutual hruct will be asked TO
quit their Jobs or their secret orders The
company actions are possibly due to
strlites which are appfchendetl during the
Wuli's fair.
iNptaNAfoiIs, Jan, o,The management
OF the Eandalit railroad has determined
TO follow the example Of the Pennsylvania
and discharge all freight handlers who re.
fuse to leave their union.
