TO BE BURIED ALIVE.
A Mind Reader to Lie in the Grave
Ten Days and be Resurrected
in California.

Alexander Melver Tyndall, the
mind reader, whose exhibitions will
| be remembered, will, if rumors are
correct, spring another sensation
on the public. He proposes tC
allow himself to be buried alive anC
remain under ground ten days. Al
the expiration of that time he
promises to arse from the grave
without the aid of Gabriels trum,
pet.
The place selected for the per.
formance of this feat, which is said
to have never before been attempt
ed in this country, is Santa Barbara
Cal, situated on the Pacific Coast,
about eight hours ride from Los
Angeles. 1t is one of the most
popular seaside resorts, winter and
summer, of the Pacific Coast, and
Of course, the proprietors Of Local
hotels will offer every inducement
to make Santa Barbara the center
of the scientific attention of the
world during the period Of Prof.
Tyndall's burial,
Such feats have been performed
in India by magicians, who consti-
tute peculiar sect, and the per
formance of Tyndall will be modelled
after their feats. He proposes to
be put in a hermetlcally sealed
coffin, the same as used in the
burial of thoroughly embalmed
bodies when preservation intact is
desired by friends.
This, of course, precludes the ad-
mission Of air and surrounds it
with greater mystery, making the
feat appear all the more impossible.
The preparation of his self-im.
posed burial which will be done
under the supervision Of a skilled
physician, will also be executed
after the method of the East
Indians. His body will be covered
with East Indian "gee," known in
this country as clarified butter.
This substance will seal all the
pores of the body, also the eyes,
ears, mouth and nostris, Thus
outwardly annointed Tyndalls
body will be placed in the casket,
the casket will be hermetically
sealed and placed in an ordinary
grave, six feet under ground, 1t
will be covered with earth in which
seed will be planted and permitted
to take root and grow up for a
period of ten days, A guard will
be stationed at the grave to keep
watch day and night At the ex-
piration Of ten days the body will
be disinterred in the presence of
the physicians who prepared it for
burial and the result of the wonder
ful feat will be made known to the
world,
There is great bit of specuIa-
tion as to the sincerity Of the pro-
proposed performance of Prot,
Tyndall. 1t will be remembered
that similar proposition was made
by Tyndall to the managers of the
Worlds Fair during its progress in
Chicago, for consideration, While
it was being considered by the
commissioners, Hermann, the
magician, approached them with
the proposition 10 add $1,000 to the
purse if they would allow him to
seal up the casket containing Prof,
Tyndall and supervise the inter-
ment. 1t was said when Tyndall
heard OF the proposition of Herr
mann, he declined to be buried
alive in Chicago with Hermann
actiug in the capacity of under.

An artistically executed crayon is on exhibition In the handsome show win dow at Messrs. Goetter, Well & Co.'S, the picture being copy, faithfully executed. of Paul De la Roche's celebrated painting of the execution of Lady Jane Grey, who was, though only r years of age, queen of England for nine days. The crayon, which is about half life size, contains five figures, the unfortunate queen kneeling at the headsman's block, by her side a court clerical official, to the left two weeping ladies in waiting and to the right the grim and austere headsman with his cruel ax This handsome piece of work is from the artistic hand of Miss Mattie Maud Lazarus, a talented young lady of Birmingham, who has presented 1t to her sister, Mrs. Nose Sabel, of this city. Miss Lazarus has been a close and conscientious student of art for the past two years and her productions show that she possesses artistic talent of the high est order.

 Republican Caucus Called.
 It is understood that Representative Warren B. Hooker of New York, secreta- ry of the republican caucus of the house, has issued a call for a meeting of the cau- GUS of the republican members of the Fffty-fourth congress to be held in the hall of the house at 8 D. m. November 30th.
 Nominations will be made for speaker, clerk of the house. doorkeeper, sergeant at-arms, postmaster and chaplain.
 The question of who will be nominated for speaker has been practically set tied. Ex-Speaker Reed will, without a shadow of doubt, be nominated for this place by exclamation.
 The clerkShip of the house, which Is the most important position, next to the speaker will be warmly fought for The gentlemen who have thus far made known their intention of running for the office are General Henderson of Illinois, chairman of the caucus committee, who failed of renomination to congress, and EX-Representativ tive at Large for Pennsyl- vania Alexander Mcdowell.
 For the doorkeepership w J. Glenn of Cuba, N. Y, is the leading candidate. His only opponent will be Editor Tipton of Tennessee, who was a collector of in ternal revenue for one district of that state during Harrisons presidential term.
 No selections have yet been made for the positions of chaplain and postmaster, but 1t is generally conceded that a Kan sas man will be nominated for the former and one from Ohio for the latter place.

EARTHQUAKE IN ROME.
It Was Little Late in Getting There, But It Got There Just the Same Shocks
 Were Violent.

Rome, Nov. This city was visited by violent shocks of earthquake al $40 this morning. People were aroused from their slumbers and fled to the open squares and the greatest consternation prevailed. The convent of Santa Maria Maggiore was greatly damaged. A DOT tion of the outer wall was overthrown and part of the ceiling has fallen. One of the inmates, Aga Monk, was injured
 The shocks were confined to the province of Rome. They were felt very strongly at Castelli Roman, but the damage there was not serious. Official observatory re- port of the disturbances says that the first manifestations were slight trem- blings which lasted five seconds. These be came more violent for period of eight seconds and then became slighter for nine seconds. Clocks in the observatory stopped the moment the trembling be- gan, each indicating the hour of 5:33
 The direction of the movements was from north to south. The old tower of the ob- servatory was damaged. The shocks created great panic among the inmates of the prison and mutiny was attempted. Troops were quickly called to the assist ance of the keepers and in short time the mutiny was suppressed and order re- stored. The pope was awakened by the shocks. He was perfectly calm and after rising made haste to inquire the news from the city. Investigation dis closes the fact that the damage done by the quakes is much greater than was at first supposed. Four palaces and the Bank of Italy were so shaken that they are rendered unsafe for occupancy. The Palasso Odescalchi, one of the finest pal aces in Rome, and five other structures of that character were also seriously damaged. The building of the ministry of finance was also slightly damaged. The quakes rang all the bells in the city. Windows were smashed everywhere.
