his teeth ChatteriLg.
Get up, quick! There's fire in the

Go way from there and let me
alone, he shouted back.
There were several E.,KS on the door,
and the man in the hall yelled:

CAN'T AGREE UPON A GRAVE.
Body of u Woman Hns Been Thrice
Buried in Five Years.

The deceased wife Of Austin b.. Mer-
rift OF 2 Belvidere place. Lynn. Mass,
and daughter of Warren Daniels, Of Sa-
lem, has been Inferred three times so
far since 1850. 1t is all through family
quarrel, and the matter Will probably
have to be Settled in the courts. MIR.
Merritt declares his deceased wIfe's re-
mains VIII have to be moved again. Mr..
Daniels wants them to repose in Green
lawn Cemetery. Salem, while Mr. Merritt
wants them nearer his own home, in
Sangus.
For two hours yesterday, says the .Bos-
ton Herald, the body remained In front
of the Salem city Hail IN an unlerta X
ers wagon. until permit could be OBJ
tanned to RENTER the body In Greenlawn
Cemetery. Meanwhile such crowd
gathered that Mayor Turner was COM
RELIED to ask the undertaken to move on,
which he did. Mrs. Annie j. Merritt died
in Marblehead in January, 1899, and was
buried in Greenlawn Cemetery. \ week
ago last Tuesday the husband who has
again married. visited this cemetery and
had the body removed to ;;augus, where
II was placed in grave. on the follow
ing Thursday the father visited the Gem
etery to place flowers on the grave OF his
daughter
He was Mortified to find the grave open
and the body gone. ON making inQuir
ies he discovered that his son-in-law had
removed the remains. Yesterday morn
ing, with a local undertaken, he visited
the cemetery in Saugus and started
with the body towards Salem. He arrived
there just before noon and then learned
that under the conditions of the new
burial permit he could not renter the
remains. MIR. Daniels sought legal adj
vice and later obtained permission to
bury the remains under the old permit.
The body Is now again reposing In
Greenlawn Cemetery. Merritt so 1t is
said married his first wife's aunt, and
they are now living happily with his

were in two places at once, uttered
prophecies and raised the dead Eng
land. the theatre of a supreme Papal
effort, hallowcd with the blood of many
martyrs, seemed alone to lie under the
shadow of a supernatural eclipse, says
the Nineteenth Century.
There were miracles, indeed. but as n
rule they were insignificant. or ineifec-
tive. The miraculous cross of st. Donats
was eXtinguished by IA commission OF
inquiry. The sudden deaths of unjust
judges or jurymen by jail fever; the tide
ceasing to flow at London Bridge on the
morning of Campions executions: the
voice from the Thames crying aloud on
the death of the English Jezebel Forty
years of reign and an eternity OF pun
ishment!" and other like prodigies either
failed to attain notoriety or TO impress
the popular Imagination.
To this apparent dearth of famous mir
acles in Eli2abethan England there is on
record one very notable exception. At
critical moment of the religious conflict
l5Sj-S6) there was manifested a group of
phenomena in connection with the cast
ing out of devils. which has been hailed
by Catholic historians as shedding lustre
upon the fame of their martyrs and add
ing new glories to the Roman Church.
The prodigies in question were per-
formed in the light of day in the neigh.

The exorcists to whom the credit was
given were Il dozen or more of the best

were several who in virtue of the recent
decree of Leo Mi. are now honored
with the title of Venerable Martyrs.

was Father William Weston, superior
of the Jesuits, or. rather, at that mo-
ment the only known Jesuit in England.

he played in the famous Wisbeach

and by several others.
The manifestations continued from first
to last for about eighteen months. and
from October 1885, to June. 1885, were of
almost daily occurrence. The witnesses
were numerous and in high position, On
