The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1895-10-04

At the further end of the little passage
stood quaint, old-fashioned dressing
table and mirror, covered with various
small articles Of feminine use, and in
front of this chair, on which the
watcher could sit beside the casket.
The caslSet itself rested on the right
hand shelf, inclosed in a double case,
upon which was thrown piece of
cheap Japanese mating, gaudily paint
ed with flowers, which had evidently
once served for window shade.
The opposite shelf was Uttered with
an extraordinary collection of objects,
including articles of clothing, china
vases, withered punches of flowers,
boxes, old gloves, balls of yarn and
pieces of unfinished knitting. The
walls of the inner vault were covered
with photographs in cheap and tar
nished frames.
On the left-hand wall of the vestibule
hung large portrait of an elderly man,
with long white side whiskers, and be-
low this was battered camp stool,
held together with pieces of twine. On
shelf near the picture were piled u
womans reticule, an old card-rack, sew
eral work baskets, some knives and
spoons and more pieces of unfinished
knitting work. In corner were piled
an old broom and several feather dust
ers. Like the inner vault, the walls of
! the vestibule were covered with photo
graphs, some being even suspended
from the ceiling.
: Probably the most singular object in
the collection was pack of cards,
which had evidently never been used,
hanging by a string from the upper
part of the grated door,
The reporter learned from the ceme-
terry authorities that Mr.. Reed was a
wealthy retired merchant, living at No.
rs South Ninth street, Brooklyn. His
wife died two years ago, and her body
was placed in the vault of her father,
! Mr.. Gould, in the cemetery. 1t was
said that Mr.. Reed was not on good
terms with his father-in-law, who oh,
jected to his frequent visits TO the
vault.
Mr.. Gould died recently, and Mr.
Reed then had tomb built on his OWL
plans, at cost of $1,000, and had the
body removed to it. He then filled the
vault with mementos of his wife.
Mr.. and Mrs. Reed had travelled to
gether extensively and had collected
many relics of the places they visited
in the shape Of pieces of stone, all o.
which he deposited in the vault.
Since the completion of the tomb
! Mr.. Reed has visited it regularly ever,
morning, remaining until the CLOSING
of the cemetery gates at seven o'clock
He usually sits by the little dressing
table at the head of the body, bu
occasionally takes his chair to the doc

THE MAN OF THE TOMB.
Jonathan Reed Passes His Days
In Bvorgroon Cometery.
Beside Casl>et Containing the Body OF
His wife, lie Rests, Waiting for
Death, Surrounded by Many
Mementos of the Departed.

In a vault in the beautiful Evergreen
cemetery at New York there sits daily
by the side of the caslSet containing the
remains of his beloved wife, and sur
rounded by u strange collection of arti-
cles associated with her daily life, an
aged man, who has become known to
the numerous visitors to the cemetery
as "the man who lives in the tomb"
Since the body of his wife was de-
posted in the vault, several weeks ago,
he has spent all his days beside her
coffin, and has declared that he will
continue to do so until he is summoned
to join her. SO much excitement among
the visitors to the graveyard has been
caused by the bereaved husbands mani
festations of grief that the authorities
of the cemetery have been forced to re-
monstrate with him. Still he persists
in exercising what he considers his
right to pass his time in the tomb.
The vault, an imposing structure of
granite, is built into gentle slope in
that part of the cemetery known as
"Whispering Grove" on the shore of
the lake. Over the entrance is en-
graved in large letters: Jonathan and
Mary Z. Reed" and on one of the stone
posts supporting q heavy iron railing
that incloses small plot are found the
words: Husband and wife"
A massive iron-barred door gives
full view of the interior of the vault,
the plan of which is unique, A little
vestibule eight or ten feet square occu-
pies the front of the tomb, giving ac
cess to the inner chamber, which con-
sists merely of a narrow passageway
about eight feet long, with n shelf, or
recess, on either side. In one of these
recesses rests the body of Mrs. Reed,
the other being reserved for that of
her husband.
When a New York Herald man visit
ed the spot the other afternoon the
tomb was tenanted only by the dead,
the solitary watcher having departed
on the approach of a storm that burst
over the cemetery about five o'clock.
The interior of the tomb afforded
evidence of its occupancy. by the living.

Centenarian KilIed by a Mule.

Selma (Ala.) papers chronicle the
death Of James Bradley, which oc-
CURED at his home near Perryville,
twenty-five miles north of that place.
He was thrown from mule and his
skull was fractured. Bradley was one
hundred and five years old. Back In
the '4Os he killed man of the name Of
johnson. He refused TO be arrested,
and said positively he would shoot
down the first officer who approached
him. For several years he lived In q
hollow tree, and plowed and worked
his crops at night, and made frequent
trips to Selma, always coming and 60
ing at night. He finally gave himself
up, stood trial and came clear.

WOMAN'S DARING FEAT.
Poverty Made Mrs. McArthur
Risk Her Life.
She Wanted Food for Her Husband and
Child and Dropped from Brooklyn
Bridge to Secure Engagements
in Dime Museums.

Mrs. Clara Macarthur, the young
woman who attempted to jump from
the Brooklyn bridge q month ago, but
who was prevented by the police,
dropped Off quietly in the darkness at
three-thirty on the morning of Septem-
ber T.
She seems TO have been moved to the
feat, not so much by desire for notori-
ETY., as by her wish to earn living for
her husband, who is railroader out of
work, and for her fve-year old child.
The family has been living in pov-
erty.
Meanwhile, as the rent fell behind
and the cupboard grew barer, Nc
Arthr, according to the story she told
when arrested by the bridge police on
her previous attempt TO jump, had in
famed her imagination by telling her
how easily she could earn one hundred
dollars a week by jumping from the
Brooklyn bridge and afterwards ap-
pearing in dime museum.
Mrs. Macarthur was conveyed to the
bridge in furniture van from the
Brooklyn end. She was dressed in
mems clothing, consisting of pair of
trousers, blue woolen sweater, covered
with common blue jumper, stockings
and heavy shoes.
The stockings were much too large
for her and were filed with sand, in
order to give the necessary weight to
her feet and prevent her from turning
over in the uir.
Round her waist, outside of the
Jumper. she wore an American flag.
Round her body and attached to her
waist held by short strings, were two
ordinary bladders, intended to serve
the same purpose as parachutes. On
reaching the middle of the arch the
woman slipped quietly off the van in
which she had been concealed, and,
climbing the fence which separates the
north roadway from the railway
track, dropped feet foremost through
the girders. She was noticed only by
a bridge policeman, who, as he after
ward reported to his sergeant, merely

wherewith to give it decent burial.
He was arrested as mendicant, 40
