NOVEL BURIAL CASKETS.
An Audacious Innovation and an Enter
prising Agents Successful Canvass.

An Audacious Innovation and an Enter
prising Agents Successful Canvass.
During the past few weeks Washing
ton has been canvassed by the agent OF
one Of the most peculiar pieces of fu-
neral paraphernalia ever invented. 1t is
a burglar and fireproof coffin, with so
many strange adjuncts that a person
seeing it for the first time would throw
up his hands in holy horror at the au
dacity of the inventor and the admira-
BILE nerve Of manufacturer that will
place such an article ON the market.
Despite the many CHASTITY features in
connection with these cofiins and the al
most blasphemous talk Of the enterpris-
ing agent, this city has proved to be a
lucrative field for him to work, and now
a number of citizens are equipped with
the strangest burial appliance of the dec
ade. The description of the coffin as
given by the agent is as follows:
Primarily the coffin is fire and bur-
glar proof. The case is made out Of boil
er iron hardened with old bone, spruce
bark and leather, which forms an en-.
amel that cannot be penetrated by chisel
or drill. 1t is put together with angle
iron and flush rivets. The locks are all
on the inside, SO constructed with hooks
and staples, with spring behind them,
that when pin is drawn out from the
outside the bolts spring down and lock
automatically, and the coffin is ther
locked so that it cannot be opened from
the outside The only person who cal
unlock and open the strange coffin is the
person inside.
There are two grades Of cofins-thost
for vaults and those to be inferred il
graves. The coffin to be placed in {
vault is equipped with torpedoes thai
can be exploded from the inside. Th,
! theory Of this is that in case a person i
| buried alive he can throw back tn
bolts, explode the torpedoes and war;
the sexton and thus escape The coffil
to be placed in grave has attached
strong spring and arm. In case the per
son inside finds that he wishes to ge
| out all he has to do is to throw bac
| the spring, and this arm is thereby re
leased and cuts its way to the top, eS
ploding torpedo and warning the keeI
er Of the graveyard.
These coffins are sold at SO much pc
pound, and the first purchaser does nc
have to pay anything down. He simpl
gives a written guarantee to the mani
faoturer that he will pay for the cofii
from his estate within Is days aftC
death, or. failing to do this, tho mani
facturer can claim his body to do VIII;

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Sept. 27.-Storm
news is very meagre. Jacksonville is
still cut off from communication from
South Florida. Since Tuesday not q
word has been received from eastern
points where the storm is supposed to
have been most severe. Nothing has
been heard from ST. Augustine since
Tuesday, and there are rumors that the
city has suffered greatly. Communica-
tion with the south will be opened up
tomorrow. 1t is certain the orange crop
has been greatly injured, but it is hoped
no lives have been lost. In this city the
damage amounts to about $75, 900. TIE
wreck of the new union depot in process
OF construction, was the moat serious
loss.
SAVANNAH, Ga, Sept. 27.-Rsilrosd
men who are just up from Tybee island
say only small portion of the railroad

Speaking of the storm the weather fore

rain fall attending the storm is the
heaviest ever known on the coast. l do
not think, however. we shall get ths
full violence Of the storm here, nor do I
anticipate anything go severe as they
report having down south. II the storm
continues in its course we may get only
it's western edge. Reports received at
this offics today tell OF terrific seas run
ming along the coast. The windis blow
ing 90 to 20 miles an hour. At Sandy
Hook this morning the wind was 2S
miles an hour. When the storm reaches
here it will probably last two or three
days. Steamers coming from the other
side may strike the lurricape.n
