Human Pstrihcatian.

Thomas Callahan of Foote. Iron coun- ty, Mo-, writes as follows: "In 1848 rel ative of the writer died and was buried in Wood county, 0. In 1856 took part in the work of disinterring the body. The coffir, which was of walnut boards, was found to be perfectly sound. After everything was ready for hoisting the coffin and it's contents to the surface we found that it was utterly impossible to perform the task with the force at hand on account of the unusual weight. Four strong men were then called, and with ropes and other appliances we finally succeeded in raising it to the surface.
 "The body was found to be in a com plete and perfect state of petrifaction The person. who had died of diphtheria, never weighed moro than 40 pounds when in life, and it was the extraordinary weight of the remains after they had lain eight years in the earth that prompted us to make the examination which re- suited in our astounding discovery. Since that time (1s56) several petrified human bodies have been disinterrsd in the same general locality"

M'KANE SENTENCED.
SIX YEARS IN SING SING FOR vloLAT-
 ING ELECTION LAWS.

The Boss of Grave.end Is Now In JAii, ow-
 ing to . Say of Execution, Awaiting the
 Efforts of His Lawyers to Keep Him Out
 of the Penits sntIAry.
 BRooKLYN, Feb. 15-The trial of John r. Mckane, charged with complicity in the alleged election frauds at Gravesend, has ended stter continuing several weeks. Judge Bartlett, in concluding his charge to the jury. divided the case under three heads. The first was whether the crime charged against the inspectors really oc- cured; the second. if so whether the de- fendant was in any way responsible for this crime, aud third. not being an election officer, could McKane be held responsible for thems
 He then went over the chief points in re- gard to these three subjects as set forth by the prosecution and the defense. Which of these stories were true, he said, WAS for the jury alone to decide.
 He referred in his charge particularly to the interview between Mayer and McKane and to the interview over the telephone be- tween McKane and Lawyer Grout
 He warned the jury that the fact that a witness was the defendant did not neces- sarily discredit his testimony, and he closed by calling the attention of the jury 10 the great responsibility which r~ d upon them. Alter the jury had retired Sheriff Butling took charge of McKane, thus form ally taking him in custody.
 The jury was locked up all night, not having agreed at midnight, when Judge Bartlett came into court. All sorts of ru- mors were afloat throughout the night as to how the jury stood. It seemed to be generally believed that majority were in favor of acQuittal.

 For 0ther&

For Other&
 LONDON, Feb. lo.-A Frenchman who is supposed to have been sn anarchist was blown to pieces In Greenwich park. Near by were found fragments of bottle which evidently had contained explosive material. The parkkeeper heard the report of the explosion. which came from the direction of the observatory, and hastening thithsr he found a man kneeling on the floor and covered with blood His hand and wrist had been blown away, and his face and body were covered with wounds.
 He was only able to say, Take me home" Where hts home was it could not be learned from the papers in his pockets, and he was therefore conveyed to the Sea mans hospital. He died half an hour after reaching there. The conjecture of the po- lice is that he stumbled and fell and in this way caused the explosion of the contents of the bottle, which was in his pocket
 The man was about so years of age. There was nothing on his person which would disclose his Identity. A card bearing the name of Bourbon was in his coat pocket, and the faint clew which this affords ia all the police have to depend upon to discover who the man was,
 According to a report, the man has been trusted leader in the circle of anarchists Judging from documents written both in French and English which were found on his body, this supposition appears to be justified. IL is thought that he bad been under police surveillance and had left his dom!cile very hurriedly. He lived in house in Tottenham Court road. He evil dently rode recklossly, carrying explosives along streets in crowded railway carrisg- from Charing Cross. His house was watched constantly, as there was . club which frequented 1t, consisting of deeper adoes of all nations. Henry was there only few days ago.

BUFFALO, Feb. 19.-Leroy Harris, the al- legged postoffice swiDdler, who held up five United States officials with big revolver on Saturday afternoon, walked out of the room and locked the door behind him, was captured at Clifton, Ont. The telegraph operator in the railroad station there saw a man resembling Harris description come into the station and sit down. He sent & message to Assistant Chief of Police Grif- fths, and Griffiths came down on 8 run and collared Harris
 Harris tried to pull his revolver, but Griffiths was too quick for him and got his revolver out first. Harris was taken to the lookup, and the Buffalo officials were noti- fled. They went down to Clifton and got their man. Harris consented to come back without extradition. He Is now in tine Erie county jail.
 When searched, but tl2 05 in money and the revolver were found on him. Thrre was not a scrap of paper. Harris gave this account of his escape to the officials, first saying that the idea of holding up the off, cials came to him suddenly aud was imme- distely acted upon:
 When I got down staiis, saw the peo- pie all running toward Seneca street. so stepped out the Washington street do.sr. I went up Washington street. am not sure where 1 went after that l lost my way, and about o'clock fouud myself in . saloon away out Niagara street. staid there for an hour and then walked to the Black Rock station, where took . train for Niagara Falls. When I got there, took the footbridge across to Clifton. went into the station and was sitting there waiting for . train to go on farther when the officer came and got me-"

 It is presumed. however, that Che rest of the fleet Is on the way and probably i nos far behind.
 ris Navel rirA, xsp.s..A
 That long looked for contest between ths rebel guns and the famous pneumatic dy- nsmite rife which the Nicthswoy carries seems now to be nearer realization than ever before. Much disappointment has been expressed by the friends of President Psixoto's government that ths Niotheroy did not immediately attack the rebel ship~ upon her arrival in Brasil from New York, aud many rsa-ons have been suggsstsd for her long inaction.
 One of these reasons was that she he'd been equipped in such a hurry here thHt several important parts of Der armament had been ovsrlooked cd; that she was short of tbe proper kind of ammunition spd that her big gun would not work with sufficient precision 10 warrant meeting the enemy.
 Again, it was sscertained that the dim sulty of obtaining fighting crew for her was In great measure responsible for her Inactivity, and some went sa fsf aa to say that it was really never intended that the Niotheroy should attack the AoeIdsban or Republioa- Tbese warshipa werp 60 valu- able to Brazil. 1t was said thai President Peixoto was unwilling to have them sunk by the Nicthcroy and intended her dyn@- mite should bs reserved for vessels of s cheaper grade.
 Later reports indicated that the weasel had received all repairs that were neces- ssry, and that a fighting crew bad eesn gotten together, and the arrival of the ves- ssl of Rio harbor would seem to indicate that she Is now ready for businsaa
 In. Pisa .f Aeaie~.
 The original plan of campaign am laid down for the Nictheroy was about ss fel- lows:
 She was to appear off Rio harsor ms sooa as possihls, and thsre. with the aid ef ths loyal forts at tbe sntrsncs, pen ths rebel nees In like rats In trap. AnehorinR Ia ths shelter of shess forts, she wss c&rvful to get the range of the rebel Fort Vile gaisnon and then proceed to hlow it inc ruins with her deadly charges of dyas- mite. When this fort was silsnc~d, aAs Nicthsroy was to come inside ths harbor, anchor under the shelter of its ruined walls and from there skeli the reb~l nses until they cried for quarter.
 IL may bs that with a oommandant of undoubted loyalty and vigilance Id the fort the rebels will not dare to run shs gantlet again and that ths Nictheroy will ready outlined.

 wILKEsBARRE. Pa, Feb. l6--Miningex- perts are now of the belief that il will take st least three weeks, If not longer, bcfors the bodies of the l3 men who perished in the Gaylord mine can be reoovered. Mine Inspector Mcdonald of Pittston aud number of mining superintendents de- thorough examination of the wrecked workings They came to the conclusion that ths task of clearing the main gang way WAS gigantic one. The fall of roof was so heavy and packed the pangways SO tightly that it may be necessary to use ex- plosives to loosen the debris and hurry along the work. This will not be resortsd to, however, unless 1t is found that the surface has settled for the last time aud there is no further danger of a depression from above. Superintendent Lawall of he Lehiph and Wilks kssbarrc Coal company, who was one of She party that went down in the mine. says there is possibility that the entombsd men may not be ss far back in the mine as some think.
 WLKRssARRK, Pa Feb, ie.-Thc rsseu- ing party at the Gaylord mine has worked steadily and has suooeeded in making rapid progress. The work of digging ana nmbering Is being pushed with the great est possible vigor. Superintendent Davis, who is in charge of the afternoon shift, Is of ths opinion that if no unforeseen ob- stselc intervenes some if not all of the men will be fouod dead or alive within the next 4S hours

McK.ne'. Sentence.

NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-John r. McKane WAS sentenced by Justice Bartlett in the Brooklyn court of oyer aud terminer to six years in the states prison at Sing Sing. In passing sentence Justice Bartlett said that in his opinion the sentence should be severe enough to deter others from follow ing in McKane's footsteps.
 McKane, if he lives, will serve four years and two months in Sing Sing, providing he is not pardoned by the executive The communication for the first year of imprison- ment for good behavior is two months; for the second year, two; for the third and fourth years, four, and for the fifth aud sixth years, i've. The commutation alto gsther will be one year and ten months.
 John '. McKane notified the members of the Gravesend town board Saturday that It was his intention to resign the various public offices he held in the town. Mo Kane Is president of the town health and police boards, and these boards are one and the same as to their membership.
 It Is not likely that the Gravesend town board will select a successor to McKane. The board will take no action at all in the matter without legal advice. If it is op- tional with the board whether a super visor shall be appointed, the matter will be allowed to rest until the annual spring election, which takes place April 4. If . choice is mandatory, it will not receive any attention for few days to come.
 The fallen chiefs family are completely prostrated, his aged mother, faithful wife and blind son George being the greatest sufferers County Clerk Cottier, in ac- cordance with the law, notified Governor Flower officially of the conviction. This notification precedcs the notice by the gov ernor to the town board of Gravesend that the office of supervisor is now vacant.
 All of the indicted Gravesend and Brook lyn election officials will be called to plead today before some supreme court judge. 1t is not yet known whether it will be Judge Bartlett or one of the other jus Aces. It is rumored that more than one of shem will plead guilty.
