For years the French Academic DIES
Sciences kept up the standing offer Of
a large reward for the discovery Of an
infallible sign Of death which could be
applied by the most ignorant That
reward was given TO Frenchman some
twenty-five years ago. A correspond.
ent OF the Electrical Review describes
the test as follows;
~when in darkened room you hold
your open hand with finger touching
finger In front OF a candle light, you
will see the bright red color OF the cir.
culating blood shine through the skin
where finger touches finger. The
Frenchman referred TO discovered thai
this sign ceases the moment death &C.
ours, and a most thorough investigation
showed that neither in catalepsy nor In
any other variety Of apparent death Is
this sign ever wanting; Il disappears
only with death. Simple as the sign Is
easily as il Is applied under the most
varied conditions, even by the most
illIterate, yet Il is the surest indication
OF that coneealing Of the tissues which
sets in synchrOnously with death---il
indicates the cessation Of lifes current
Of motion. Science knows no more re
liable test Of death; doubt whether /
simpler will ever be discovered"

Murder in Brunswick.

TIE citizens of Brunswick, Nd,
were again startled on Wednesday
last by the report that a colored
man had been found murdered in
the northern limits of the town,
on the road leading to Petersville.
The facts as reported are these: At
an early hour in the morning as
Victor Shaft, employed as a repair
hand on the B. & o. Railroad, was
on his way to work, he discovered
pool of blood in the middle of the
road, and following it to a stone
quarry found the body of Elijah
Addison, an aged colcred man, in a
crushed condition, lying under sew
eral large stones. The murdered
man resided in Stephens City, Va,
short distance south of Winches-
ter, and had been travelling through
this section for q number of years
selling a preparation for the cure of
chicken cholera, having been in
Martinsburg selling his preparation
short time ago. At the inquest
held it was learned that he was in
company with two young white men
of bad character, Gardner and
Phillip Piper, at a saloon, and had
some friendly conversation with
them. He then left the saloon, fol.
lowed by the young men. This was
the last seen of him alive. Upon
investigation a clue was found
which led to the arrest of the two
young men, that of finding bloody
clothes and shoes at their home and
footprints in the soft soil CORE
spending with the shoes found with
the blood on them. The evidence
was enough to hold them and they
were taken to the Frederick Jail, and
placed under $4,000 bond, to await
the action Of the grand jury. The
scene of the murder is lonely
place, and is quite a distance from
any dwelling. 1t is supposed that
Addison was knocked down with
ballast stones, which were scattered
around, and robbed, and afterward
thrown into the quarry and crush
ed to death by large rocks weighing
nearly 100 pounds. His face, head
and body we're crushed into a ver-
liable jelly.

Struck By a Train and Killed.

Mrs. Mary e. Leach, OF Engles,
was instantly killed on Monday
evening about six O'Clock, by the B.
& O. accommodation train while
walking on the tracks at that place.
She had been on visit to her sister
and was returning home when she
met death. She was walking east on
the west track, and is supposed, was
not looking for any train that came
from the west. Itso happened that the
train was using the west bound
track on account of an sccident on
the road. AS the train rounded the
curve at that place, Engineer Trout,
who was at tie throttle, saw the wo-
man, but to late too avoid the acct
dent. She was struck and thrown
clear off the track, death resulting
instantly. Mrs. Leach was q widow
aged fifty-nine years, her birthday
being the day she was killed. She
leaves four children.
