Studying the Tax Question,

BERLIN, July 3 1t is understood here
that the United States legations in Eu.
rope have been instructed to study and
report on existing systems OF taxation
In order that the Washington govern.
ment may select the least oppressive
and offensive to cover the deficit which
will result from the reform OF the tariff.
The member Of the Berlin legation who
is examining the Prussian system is in
clined to favor the adoption in the
United States OF tax similar to the d.
rect property tax recently approved by
the landtag. The wealtnier classes in
Prussia, he says, do not complain bit.
terly OF the new tax and the poorer
people consider it equitable. The rich
men in America, however. ne thinks,
would resist stubbornly the introduc
ton OF the tax.

HANGED A CRAZY MAN.

Buccieri, Executed at Reading Last
Week, Was irresponsible for His Crime
READING, July at appears from
the report of the physicians who made
an examination Of the brain of Buc.
cieri. who was hanged on Thursday,
that his mind was diseased, and that be
was not responsible for the crime for
which he was executed. The doctors
who made the examination were How.
ard S. Reeser, s. l.. Kurtz, G. Nj KurtZ,
f. w. Frankhauser, Israel Clever. and
William G. Morgan.
In their report they say that the third
mem brane was markedly congested; an
area OF softeniDg was found in the left
hemisphere, and the entire left lobe Of
the cerebellum was softened to such an
extent as to diminish the tracings of
the we'll known lines of the brain. In
one portion there we're found at least a
dozen of cysts, some of them as large as
pea, and several calcareous deposits.
This report has created quite sensa
ton.
1t is said now that number of those
in charge of the prisoner were convinced
that he was insane. The priests who
attended his spiritual needs felt so.

ALIVE IN HER OOFFIN.
Young Wife Buried During Suspended
Animation.

Animation.
WHIrEHAvEN, Pa, July "a case oil
suspended animation is reported from
Morrisson's, three no lies west of White,
haven. The story IS to the effect that 3
young VIE died nine months after being
married. Her husband became haunted
with the belief that she had been buried
allve: HG eventually Loaf his mind. To
satlsty him his friends reopened the
grave, and to their horror discovered
that his supposed hallucination was a
terrible reality.
The matter was investigated and
found to be substantially correct. The
woman had been buried before natural
dissolution had taken place, and the
husband became o raving maniac.
morrison's Is farming village stu.
ated on the western slope of Mount
Yea0er. Charles Boger's father died
two years ago, leaving his son to take
care of the farm. The latter six months
later married Miss Catherine Leader.
A year went by and nothing occurred to
mar their existence until one day Mrs.
Boyer was taken i'll. She went to bed
and from it never arose.
Dr.. James Willard. who had been tho
woman's family physician for years, was
In attendance at her bedside, and while
1t was not made known to the husband
he madeseveral tests to assure himself
that dissolution had actually taken
place before Ee was satisfied.
Among those was ethe "diaphanous''
test by holding the hand OF the deceased
before strong light. There was no
scarlet color visible, and everything
went to show that death had really set
in naturally.
After the burial OF his wife the shock
which Boyer had experienced seemed
to wear away gradually, until one day
some one came to him and told him that
previous to their marriage Catherine
had been subject to periodic hysteria,
and that there was a grave possibility
OF her having been buried alive
The terrible thought that his wife
might possibly have been buried i've
haunted him highland day, until finally
he became a raving maniac. He be-.
lleved that his wife mad been taken
from him and stated again and again
that she was alive.
SO strongly did he plead his cause
that his friends wore finally induced to
reopen the grave. Accordingly dozen
OF them went to the cemetery, accom-.
panied by the demented. husband. Dur
ing the progress of the digging of the
grave he remained perfectly quiet until
the coffin was reached. He then became
excited and could hardly be pacified
until the lid was removed. The woman
had been buried alive, and all the
evidences going to prove such terrible
blunder were painfully apparent. The
body was turned face downward. The
glass in the d was broken. The robes
were torn to shreds, hair disheveled and
flesh torn, showing where the woman
had torn herself in the frenzy upon
discovering her awful petition.
