An Alabama Doctors Narrow Escape From
Being Buried Alive.

Being Buried Alive
From brownsville, thriving little
town on the Mobile and Birmingham
road, 1O2 miles north of this place.
comes a story that is heard but seldom,
and then too much credence cannot be
placed therein, for nine times out of ter
there is a certain prevarication or G
knack Of distorting and stretching the
facts that knocks the truth out of the
tale. But here is true story: Sunday
morning there died, to all appearances,
| at brownsville, a we'll known physi-
clan of that place-Dr John W. Brand.
He had lately removed from Randolph
county and was about 65 years of age.
He suffered several weeks from various
complications, and finally the watchers
at his bedside, one of whom was his
son, saw him draw, apparently, his last
breath and sink into the unconscious.
ness of death. The body was taken
charge of by his friends, washed and
dressed in the customary shroud and
laid out in the parlor An hour or two
later the few friends seated in the room
with the corpse noticed slight witch
ing of the fingers of the deceased. They
were somewhat startled, but did not
lose their self possession and flee from
the room, as is ordinary under such cir
cumstances Instead they repaired to
the side of the doctor and watched him
closely. Then movement of almost the
entire body was noticed-a slight con-
vulsion, in fact Then two pieces of
money that had been placed over the
eyes of the dead man fell off, and he
made an effort to open his eyes. This
satisfied those gathered around him that
life was still within the remains, and
the body was tenderly carried back to
the bed from which he had been re-
moved short while before supposed
corpse. DR.. Brand received every care,
and he slowly revived. His first words
when appraised of his condition were:
Glow long was / dead?"
All preparations for the removal of
the body to his home in Randolph coua-
ty had been made by the son of DR.,
Brand, and it was arranged to ship the
remains by the Mobile and Birmingham
train that passed Thomasville Sunday
night. DR.. Brands daughter was at the
Selma depot to receive the body of her
father, but instead was rejoiced to re-
ceive the welcome news that her parent
was still alive.-Mobile Register

Hecession In the West.
LINCOLN special: The text Of re-
variable letter which will be handed
TO Gov. Waite, addressed to that exec.
nttve and the Legislature of Colorado.
- uen - tho public by the
press OF this city. The author Is res
ldent OF Oklahoma, but formerly Of
Lincoln. 1t Is call for the secession
OF all states west of the Mississippi and
Its author claims it will be signed by
prominent men in Texas, Kansas, Ok
lahoma, Nebraska, Colorado and other
states. What action Gov. Waite will
take is mere conjecture. The letter
reviews the history of the United
states for the past twenty-five years
and suggests that the country Is too
unwieldly to be governed by one exec
utlve. The interests of the western
states are antagonistic to those of the
east, and the silver OF the former has
Deen legalized into valuless commo-
ity. The country surges with com.
munlstlc doctrine and the Door are
crying for bread. Before the COS
slaves enriched their owners by their
labors, but to-day the white slaves of
the west are struggling to fill the ca
paclous maws OF eastern plutocracy.
1t states that the remedy lies in the
dissolution OF the union and the Or
ganization OF separate government in
the west. Make Galveston the New
York of the new republic, all session
OF Congress and Withdraw peaceably if
possible, but If force is necessary the
west is just as we'll equipped as the
east and will be able to fight its own
battles. The letter advises that it's
views are coincided in by leading men
in twenty western states, and the
signers believe that secession is the
solution OF the labor, silver and west
ern problem.

CHAPTER XIX.

The regiment left Jersey City at half
past three with eight hundred and
seventy-five men on board. 1t had not
crossed the Jersey flats when the en-
gineer was locked up in a closet and
the engine taken in charge by one of
the generals own men. The first act
was to cut the telegraph wires when
ten miles out at secluded spot, and
here twenty-five more men were
dropped. The train was then run with
a view to land the men at the best
point and to keep ahead of the special
that it was believed would be on its
heels. Gen. Waterson's report leaves
us in no doubt as to how his plan dis
posed of the forces. Fifty got off at or
near Newark. Twenty-Five were
dropped at Waverly and twenty-five at
Elizabeth. Fifty were disposed of at
Railway and one hundred before reach
ing New Brunswick. Between Deans
and Monmouth Junction another hun
dred left and at Princeton junction, at
the suburbs of Trenton, four hundred
more disappeared. Fifteen miles out
of Bristol the remaining hundred
dropped from the cars. The engine
was then reversed and the train
started spinning backwards to meet
the special.
Most of these men adopted the plan
that had been tried at st. Mary's. They
started at once in diverging lines
and disappeared in the surrounding
country.
The excitement in New York over
the affair was widespread, and was
famed into a flame before evening by
the news that came from Philadelphia
that the United States mint had been
similarly robbed by another regiment
that had seized a train and gone to
Lancaster.
The next morning full details of the
tYo exploits were printed and tAsss

Notwithstanding Which Fact He Made y
Good Bargain In New York.
Talk about Philadelphians being
slow" said an uptown dealer in rare
books to a New York Evening SUN
man; why, I'll tell you about little
incident that happened the other day.
"A Philadelphisn- who has a nice
private collectionrof rare engravings
and etchings came to this city on
visit and was almost stranded financial
ly before he knew 1t. An ordinary
man would have written or telegraphed
home for cash. But this one didn't.
He was strolling down Broadway, un-
decided whether to continue his walk
as far as Philadelphia or not, when he
came to little shop where engravings
and etchings are sold.
His mania for collecting forced him
to enter the shop and examine the
stock, although he didn't have money
enough to buy fair-sized chrome.
Turning over a number of etchings
and engravings lying upon sort OF
bargain table at the rear of the shop
he came across fine copy of the cele-
brated RAMON portrait of Tennyson.
of which he had highly priced speci-
men in his own collection. Thinking
1t strange that the etching should be
lying among the other cheap objects
on the table he asked its price of
clesk.
Take it along for a quarter said
the clerk.
"'All right, said the Philadelphian,
rolling up the etching and paying over
the money.
Shall l wrap II up for your asked
the clerk.
"'Oh, no; you needn't mind, and the
Philadelphian walked off with his
prize He did not walk far, though.
Stopping at well-known engraving
dealers shop not four blocks away the
Philadelphia man offered the etching
for sale.
Twenty-Five dollars was the Of
fer of the dealer. The Philadelphia
man accepted the money, althoughsit
was but little more than half the
price at which the Rajon portrait is
catalogued, and went his way. He had
paid all the expenses of his New York
trip at one stroke"
