THE CHILD WASN'T DEAD
Gave Evidence of Life When Being
Placed in the Coffin.

CUMBERLAND, Md, September 90, 1S93.--
Wednesday evening telegram reached
this city announcing the death, at Gar
rett, Pa, of Miss Matte Haley, four
teen year old daughter of Thos. HALEY, of
this city.
She was visiting relatives there and had
gone out driving with a cousin about her
age. The horse took fright and ran away,
npsetting the carriage. Miss HALEY fell
on her head and broke her neck. She was
not quite dead when help arrived, but be-
fore she could be moved she apparently
expired.
She was taken to the house and at
tempts made to recuscitate her, but without
success. Yesterday morning telegram
was received in this city stating that Miss
HALEY was still alive, but not expected to
turn to life is thus briefly related:
After all efforts to revive the young
lady had been made by physicians and
for for burial % She was sa9A9 laid T'tS out ai and
the undertaken was expected to
place the body in casket for shipment to
this city. Before he arrived the watchers
around the supposed corpse noticed a
twitching of the eyelids and presently she
aroused, although still unconscious. The
physicians were again summoned and
treatment for her recovery began. After
diagnosing the case. ascertaining her
temperature and thoroughly examining
her symptoms. they now express their
opinion that she will perhaps live short
time.
The HALEY family seem to be possessed
of wonderful vitality. When Edward,
who was six years old, was kicked in the
head by a horse and had his skull frac-
tured, he lay in eomatose condition for
a long while and was several times
reported dead. The operation of trepan.
ming was performed and he now carries
silver plate in his head and is enjoying
the best of health.
