Paris, June 1O-Jean Durand, the
man from Marseilles who for thirteen
days hung suspended in the Duclerc
Concert Hall, the marvel of all morbid
and curious Psrisians, has returned TO
Paris and will soon subject himself to
a still more horrible and grewsome en-
treatment. He is to be buried alive.
In the centre of the concert hall work
men have constructed a wooden mauso-
leum, painted and stained to represent
stone. the sides OF which will be glass,
through which the staring crowds may
watch Durand as he lies there entomb-
ed. No air will be permitted to enter
the tomb. and the entrance will be
locked ard stamped with a seal at mid
night. on Monday, June 10.
This new vagary OF Durand IS said to
have been suggested to him by DR.. Bon
igberger, a famous Austrian scientist
now in Paris. Ten years ago Dr. Bon
ig0erger was appointed special physic-
ian to the raiah of Lahore. in the Pun
jab, India. While there ne made
special study Of the occult arts of the
fakirs, and asserts that he found a sci
entific explanation for most of them.
Aprop0s of the proposed interment of
Jean Durand, the doctor has written an
article for Paris paper in which he re-
lates the experience that he once had
in Witnessing the burial Of a living
man. who for four months remained
shut up in a Theoretically sealed tomb
without air. light or food. and yet came
forth alive Fearing an illusion pro-
duced by hypnotism the skeptical doc
Tor took as his companion another Eu-
ropean, Sir John Wakes, the British
resident general in Lahore. The truth

Gus immuring is attested 10 by both
witnesses:
Ar aged Brahmin named Hirames.
after having lived an asce,ic and pious
life. resolved to project his astral body
to the domain of Brahma While his
material body remained upon earth.
Hirames proceeded in a scientific way
to make preparations First of all he
had his disciples construct a semi-sub-
terranean tomb, in which he had him
self shut up, squatting in the pose dear
to the gods. Thus he accustomed him
self little by little to a reduced supply
of oxygen. Meanwhile ne prayed de-
voutly. On entering the tomb his dis
ciples would close the door, keeping it
shut for several minutes, then hours,
then days: then he remained for a week
in the tomb. He became an adept in
holding his breath until, while in a
trance. he breathed, if he breathed al
all. without any external evidence of
respiration.
At Length he declared himself ready
to make the great undertaking. He
proposed to the Rajah to come, with
two witnesses. to bear testimony TO the
interment. These two witnesses were
Dr.. Bonigberger and Sir John Wakes.
The Rajah had a special tomb construct
ed. several feet underground. On the
appointed day Hirames entered there,
took the sacred posture. breathed slowly

through his nostrilS once or twice, drew
his tongue to the rear of his mouth, and
fell into quasi-cataleptic lethargy.
His disciples then poured melted wax
into his nortrils and ears, and drew
over him shroud which was bound
with linen bands, every knot of which
the Rajah sealed with his own seal.
They then cemented slabs of stone over
the opening, around which the Rajahs
sentinels paced day and night.
Four months later at the exact time
agreed upon for the resurrection, the
Rajah, DR.. Bonigberger and Sir John
Wakes saw the tomb opened by the
disciples of the fakir Hirames had not
moved. The doctor noticed that the
shroud was damp. The seas were
broken and the Stroud was turned
back. The disciples applied hot water
at intervals to the neck Of the subject.
THE body appeared writes DR..
Bonigtsrger. deeply wrinkled and
rigid. 1t was absolute death. There
was no pulse, no respiration, but on
lifting the eyelids the eyes appeared hu-
mid and lifelike. The disciples then re-
moved, by means of a thin, narrow
blade, the wax from the nostrils and
ears; they opened Hirames's mouth and
drew forth the tongue. There was a
small quantity of saliva upon it. The
eyes were then anointed with sweet oil.
Then they rubbed the limbs. All this
occupied nearly ha,f an hour. At
length the corpse gave convulsive
shudder, almost imperceptible. The
disciples placed a little melted butter
upon the tongue. Hirames took a
breath, opened his eyes, and, half re-
gaining consciousness, said, in a clear
low voice, spoken directly to the Rajah
Perhaps now you will believe in me-
The prince, like the rest of us, was
struck dumb with establishment.
Hirames slowly rose and stood calmly
smiling at us from his full height"

county clerk, Mr.. Burdett. 1t is gener-

ring. but his popularity seems to have
overpowered the ring. 1t was thought
generally that Robinson would make an
inroad on the town ring, as it was con-
ceded that he was popular with the
masses of the people, but the bosses
decided mat they must give that place
on the ticket to Mr. John H. Holt, so
they mustered their forces and put up
a bold front. and downed Mr.. Robinson
by a vote OF S25 for Holt to 772 for
Robinson.
For House of Delegates the race was
between l.. Addison and H. F. Brohard,
