with these cofins and the alilN
blasphemous talk of the enterprising
agent, this city has proved to be
lucrative field for him to work, and
now a number of citizens are equipped
with the strangest burial appliance of
the decade. The description of the
coffin, as given by the agent, is as fol-
lows:
Primarily the coffin is fire and bur-
glar-pvoof. The case is made out of
boiler iron hardened with old bone,
spruce bark and leather, which forms
an enamel that cannot be penetrated
by chisel or drill. 1t is put together
with angle iron and flush rivets The
locks are all on the inside, SO con-
structed with hooks and staples with
spring behind them that when pin is
drawn out from the outside the bolts
spring down and lock automatically
and the coffin is then locked so that it
cannot be opened from the outside.
The only person who can unlock the
strange coffin is the person inside"
There are two grades of coffins-
those for vaults and those to be in
tered in graves. The coffin to be
placed in a vault is equipped with tor
pedoes that can be exploded from the
inside. The theory of this is that in
case a person is buried alive he can
throw back the bolts, explode the tor
pedoes and warn the sexton, and thus
escape. The coffin to be placed in a
grave has attached strong spr1ng and
arm. In case the person inside finds
that he wishes to get out, all he has TO
do is to throw back the spring, and this
arm is thereby released and cuts its
way to the top, exploding a torpedo
and warning the keeper of the grave
yard.
These cofiins are sold at so much per
pound, and the first purchaser does
hOb move W pay ahy OhAhB uOWh' hO
simply gives a written guarantee to
the manufacturer that he will pay for
the coffin from his estate within fifteen
days after death, or, failing to do this,
the manufacturer can claim his body
to do what he may wish with it. The
coffins were originally invented at
Ypsilanti, Mich, and the invention was
due to necessity. At the time that the
company gained its inception Ypsilanti
and Ann Arbor and other Michigan
towns were being overrun with grave
robbers. 1t was to counteract the eff
fects of this that the coffins were made.
The scare had become so bad there
that the people had got in the habit Of
placing body in receiving vault
guarded by an armed sentry. Then it
was this company began operations.

measure 10 be Immediately taken
against Greece IN the event of her de-
clining to comply with the demands of
the powers in the withdrawal of the
Greek troops from Crete and recall of
the Greek fleet in Cretan waters.
The Princess of Wales feels great
anxiety regarding the position OF her
brother, King George, and instead of
returning to Sandringham, is remain
ing in London.
1t is learned on good authority that
the Greek reply to the identical note
of the powers will offer to withdraw the
Greek feet from Cretan water. While
pointing out that it is impossible to
withdraw the Greek troops from Crete,
it will offer to place them under the
control of the powers to restore order.
Finally the reply will suggest that the
Cretans be allowed to choose their own
government.

CHICAGO, March s.-About 20GO
plasterers and hodcarriers struck this
morning and work on practically every
building in course of construction has
been brought to a standstlll. The
only important exception in the down
town district is the new Illinois Trust
& Savings bank, where 200 men are
working, the contractor having agreed
to sustain the old rate of wages. Be-
fore noon several other contractors
were reported to have signifed their
willingness to agree to the terms of the
strikers.
Chairman Herman Lillian said the
strike board decided to treat every job
separately, and the possibility of call
ing sympathetic strike of the q
other trades attached to the Trades
Building Union was remote.

Mills Less Than '9G.


The city council held it's regular
semi-monthly meeting last night
with the TO loving gentlemen
present: President Livingston,
and Councilmen Benjamin, Davis,

utec Of previous meeting read and
approved. The clerk read a COM
munication from the mayor, stat
ing that he had issued and was
having published proclamation
calling for an election to deter
mine whether or not bonds shall
be issued to erect an electric light
plant.
Toe PETITION of w. G.. Jeffords,
asking permission to erect an ad-
dItion at the rear of his store at
northwest corner of square, was
granted.
The com nittee on having the
disuscd street railway track re-
moved was not ready with a re-

pairs, after investigation, report
some considerable repairs needed,
and have granted contract to Mr..

man Livingston, for the street
committee, that he could buy

cheaper than from the stores,
council ordered same to be done.
Matter Of disposing Of old reel
house No. was discussed and as
Mr. Livingston thought he could
effect sale, he was advised to do
so.
Upon motion of Benjamin, it
was thought best to put man

cred, as Mr.. Williamson has all
he can attend to in the djSch tr|e
Of his duties as sanitary inspector.
The proposition made to the city

O'Clock.
The matter Of the tax levy for
1897 was taken up and discussed
at length. The following levy was
made: General fund IL mills,
water 4 mills, interest l mill, to.
tai l6 mills. THIS levy is four
mills lower than for 1896, which
will BE- appreciated by the tax
payers, and on the conservative
basis on which the city is now be-
ing run, the levy will be ample
for current expenses.
