On the Sth disnantled ship was sight, cd laboring in the sea. She proved to be the F. E. Marshall of Digby, N. S., bound from Savannah for Santos with Q cargo of pitch pine With consider able difficulty the Louise rescued the crew of the Marshall and afterwards landed them a. the Bermudas and then proceeded on her voyage.
 On September 23 Q gale sprarg up and the bark soon sprang aleak. The men were at the pumps, but the bark made water rapidly and by September 25 there was thirteen feet of water in the hold. The bark was then in long, itude 50:00, latitude $500. Unable to keep the bark af1oat the crew took to boats. The crew were we'll provision GU ana WdtereQ, put the neaVy sea cuE- ing swept half of the water overheard.
 Finally the two boats were lashed together and a sea anchor put out and in this way they rode the gale. F'or nine days the men drifted along under the tropical sun and. with but ono drink of water each n day, suffered great agony and anxiety. On the sev- enth day two men becaMe insane and the following morning another lost his reason. The rawlings of the unfortu- mates added to the horrors of the situa- ton. Waen they had all but aban- doned hope they were picked up by tha steamer Evelyn.
 When the boats had been got along side the Evelyn the men had to be lif.ed in slings to the deck. Captain Homer did not think any could sur vive, but they were carefully nursed and although still terribly exhausted it is believed they will ultimately recover.

4 MEXICAN ON FREE SILTER.
Governor Raymon Coral's Lucid Statemen
 of How it Would Work.


 New York. Oct. Ex-Governor Ray mon Coral of the state of Sonora, Mex ico, who is at present in this city, spoke to-day freely on the free silver ques- ton.
 "The conditions obtaining in my country" he said, "on silver basis and those in the United States on a gold basis are so radically and essen tially different that 1t is impossible to make a comparison. Each country must be considered by itself. The re- suits in the United States, if the Chi cago platform should be adopted, would be disastrous Under such policy the price of silver would not rise and the workingmen would be in desperate straits.
 "The United States workingmen are intelligent and would demand that their employers increase their wages to cor respond with increase in other prices. They would demand the same purchas- ing power in their wages, but how would 1t be possible to yield to that de- mand? There must be suffering and constant strife. For myself, I do not believe that if Bryan is elected his par ty will dare to pass the free coinage law proposed.
 eff the United States should adopt free coinage all the silver of other countries would find its way here nat urally, and gold would be withdrawn. Hence the country would soon find It. self without gold and It's commercial relations with the rest of the world would be dependent on the fiuctuating silver market.
 'It Is nonsense to say that the United States is able to establish a standard No government can create an artificial value and exact it. nor isolate itself from the rest of the world and achieve a permanent prosperity"

done to give a majority in the house and majority in the senate as well as president all in favor of free coinage. He thanked the laboring men for hav- ing completed his equipment so that he was prepared to sign any measure that might reach him which was in harmony with the Chicago platform.
 The rest of Mr. Bryan's speech was on lines taken by him in previous dis courses. MT. and Mrs. Bryan left here at Il o'clock on special train, accom- panied by D. J. Campau, chairman of the democratic campaign committee, ex-Congressman Whiting, ex-Congress- man Tarsney of Detroit, and others. Tomorrow will be devoted to Wiscon- sin and the northern peninsula of Mich igan.

SIMULATED DEATH,
The Lethargy Lasting for Weeks Pro-
duced by Fakirs in India.

The Lethargy Lasting for Weeks Pro-
duced by Fakirs in India.
Dr. Kuhn has had occasion to OBJ
serve two cases, the genuineness of
which he had no reason to doubt,
says the New York Medical Journal.
One of the fakirs in question had
been inferred for six weeks and the
other for ten days. The fakirs, who
are hySterical to the highest degree,
possesses the faculty of producing
artifcially a condition Identical with
cataleptic ecstasy. They use all
possible means, such as modification
of the body by special diet, the in
ternal employment of different
plants known only to themselves,
and the adoption of a peculiar
posture of the body for many hours.
When they have practiced this for
sufficient length of time, they assume,
one of the postures prescribed by the
sacred books of the Indians and fall
into hypnotic condition induced by
looking fixedly at the end Of the
nose. e. -.7.!ts.
Hasheesh is still made use of by
them to diminish the respiratory
force, for this hypnotic, when asso-
ciated with other plants and en-
ployed in a peculiar manner, makes
up for the loss of air and nourish-
ment. The fakirs have hallucina-
tons when hypnosis begins; they
hear certain sounds, see angels, and
their faces express a feeling of
happiness. But, little by little, con-
seriousness disappears and the body
acquires peculiar rigidity. This is
evidently, says the writer, matter
Of self-hypnotism in hysterical per-.
sons who are sufficiently predisposed
to it. This lethargy is looked upon
by people as death, and when the
subjects are aroused it is God who
has brought them to life. In Greek
or Roman literature, says the writer,
we may ma accounts OF persons
who have died and returned again to
earth. ,''F1 - - u ...
There is nothing astonishing in
these facts, for Bouchut, in his,
treatise on the signs which enable US
to recognize real death, reported the
case of woman who had been disin-
TERED in order that friend might
look at her again. She was found to
be alive, and she lived for many years
Also, in the Department
of the North, there was a case re-
ported of a girl who had remained in
a lethargic condition for several
years. She had fallen into this con-.
dition on hearing that she was to be
for having committed a
crime.

BY HIS OWN YARD STICK.
How a Lot Owner Got Even with an
Avaricious Neighbor.

! NASN' t$tOd9 fNCt6"OCts
Cats are said to have nine lives,
but there is more than one way OF
killing them. Two brick houses
standing side by side in a street west
Of Central park are standing wit
nesses of the truth of this bewhisk-
cred proverb, says the New York
Press. Not many months ago there
were two vacant lots where the
houses now stand. The owner of
one of the lots decided to build.
When the walls of the new house
were about completed the owner Of
the adjoining lot decided to follow
his example. He employed a sur
veyor to stake out the house. The
surveyor discovered that the walls
of the house in course of erection on
the other lot extended just one inch
over the property line. He informed
his employer of the fact who imme-
diately communicated with the
owner of the property, demanding
an exorbitant sum for the property
acciden tally appropriated.
The owner of lot No. / did not
prove a complacent victim to the ex-
tortion. He at once gave orders to
have the offending wall torn down
and rebuilt. The other man, rather
disappointed at being a victim of his |
own avarice, proceeded with the cree
ton of the second house, building his
wall close against that of the house
first erected.
When the second house was all
completed the owner moved in. A
few days afterward he was dunn
founded to receive notice similar to
the one he had sent out himself, de-
the same amount as he had
named, the reason being stated, "the
walls of the house you have just COM
pleted and are now occupying extend |
one inch over the property line on
my property"
He employed a surveyor again and
found that the statement was only
too true. What had happened was
this: The owner of the first offend
ng wall, when he had had it torn
Down, had, with deliberation and
malice aforcthought, caused the wall
TO be rebuilt one inch on his own side
Of the line, realizing that the second
house would probably be built close
against the first. There was a choice
Of two things for the owner of lot
No. 2 to do-either to move out of
the house in which he, had just got
settled with his family and have it
rebuilt or to pay the amount de-
handed for the one inch Of property.
As he had set the price himself, he
cit that there was little use in TAX
ny it to the courts. He according
y paid She price demanded and re-
,eived a deed for one inch of land.
