TO PREVENT BURIAL ALIVE.
An Ingenious Device Invented BY IL
Frenchman Named Karnice.

An Ingenious Device Invented BY IL
Frenchman Named Karnice.
(From the Chicago News.l
Everyone has the fear OF being buried
alive. A Frenchman named KaFnice has
invented device to prevent this horror
occurring. There is no absolute proof
of death. except the decomposition of
the vital organs, for any exterior sign
is not to be trusted, because in certain
diseases the body of person in a trance
takes on all the distressing appearances
of an unburied corpse. Pineau, the French
scientist, makes the ominous remark that
mot day passes, even ia France, but
a living human being is entombed," and
DR.. Hartmann, of Austria, goes even fur
ther, saying that during the months of
May and June, 1896, he received no less
than sixty three letters from people who
had recovered consciousness while lying
in their coffins. He was writing work
at the time of the subject and the letters
came in response to his printed request.
Karnice's invention is simple. In the
first place, an opening several inches in
length is made in the lid of the coffin, in
such a way as to be imme diately above the
breast of the deceased, or supposed TO be
used, upon whose chest is then placed
q sort of ball four or five inches in
diameter. Next, short tube supplied
with powerful spring flap is attached
to the coffin lid, just over the opening
referred to, in such way as to COM
u.unicate with the interior of the coffin.
This tube is the only non-Ge Ia liable part
of the appliance. The second and chief
portion consists, roughly. of a long, thin
tube, which. when the coffin has been
lowered d into the grave, is temporarily con-
nected with the small tube mentioned the
spriDg-flap. of the latter having, of course,
been forced open. Then the grave is filled
with earth in the usual way, and not hing is
seen above the surface but small metal
lie box, which is very strong and cannot
be opened or tampeTed with from the out
side. Now, should the supposed dead per-
son, after being buried. recover conscious
ness, he is bound, unwitingly, to move
the ball; indeed, his mere act of drawing

admit air. bell to ring loudly. and a
flag 10 bc raised sufficiently high for
any person passing to notice, or the. grave
digger to see when going his rounds
The actual mechanism of the appara tus
is extremely simple, having neither com
plicated wheelwork, electric reel, nor
battery to become deranged. and the least
intelligent of workmen even understands
its manipulation. when once it has been
explained to them. At the end of the time
prescribed for the possible duration OF
lethargy the box is removed from the sur

up, disinfected. and also removed per

containing the mechanism may then be

l
1t has often been said by scientific
| and medical men that nature has pro-
vided cure for every disease, an an
tidote for every poison This saying
was never so clearly iexemplified as in
the discovery of HYOMEI, the first
Dry Air gernicide ever found, of sufii-
cient power to kill the germs of all re-
spiratory diseases, yet volatile enough
to impregnate every particle of air
breathed and leave it free from moist

ed TO find some cure for Catarrh, Bron-
chitis, Asthma, and Consumption, and
statistics show how utterly they have
failed in their efforts. not one method
of treatment of the many thousands
invented being able TO produce two per-
sons cured out of every fifty treated
This has not been for the lack Of a
remedy which would kill the bacilli of
disease, but due to the fact that such
remedies could be used in no other way
than through sprays, douches, atomiz-
ers, and vapors, which precluded all
possibility of their ever entering the
bronchial tubes and lungs, where the
disease germs are located. What
contrast between these old methods
and the newt Since HYOMEI was first
discovered this new sermicide, which
can be carried in the air you breathe

every bottle has been guaranteed, but
eleven persons out of this vast number
have reported no benefit received and
asked for a return of their money. Is
it any wonder then the medical pro-
fession now claim the Australian Dry

DID CROKER TAKE THEM IN !?
Democratic Representatives Sus-
picious Of His Club.
MAKING AN INVESTIGATION
They viii Resign Their Member
ship Ii They Find That the
Organization Is Anti-Silver-A.em-
bers DO Not Care to Be Specifically
Quoted Vow.

There is no doubt now but Mr.. Cro-
ker's Democratic Club of New Yorl.
| city is under the grave suspicion of
| pose of discounting the active silver
sentiment in the Democratic party.
So strong has this suspicion become
that the club is now under investiga-
ton by Democratic members of Con-
Sress, who have consented to become
members and have been elected. II
was represented to these Democrats
that the club was simply social affair
and that il was to be used as a place
where Democrats from any part of the
country could go when in New York
and meet other Democrats and socially
enjoy themselves. 1t was TO be in all
respects like any other club except its
membership was restricted to Demo-
Gratis
Democrats in the House readily con-
sented to join this club, and it was not
until recently that they became suspi-
cious of II and convinced that Mr..
Croker intends to use the club in an
attempt TO side-track silver sentiment
and to frame straddiing platform.
When this information reached the
Capitol a number of the members of
Congress became indignant They had
no thought of any other platform than
the one adopted at Chicago and would
not for an instant permit their names
TO remain on the list of membership if
ii were true that the club was to be
used against an open fight for their
principle.
The information they received, how
ever, was of such a reliable character
that after consulting among themselves
they decided to put an inquiry on foot
for the purpose of learning precisely
what Mr.. Croker's attitude and inten-
tions are, and the platform and the
club and this information Will be in
their possession this week. If il is true
that they have been deceived their re-
signations as members of the club will
be forwarded at once. IT is even said
that some of the deceived members will
make speeches in the House and indig-
nantly repudiate the club and its OBJ
ject.
Mr.. Swanson. of Virginia, who has
permitted the use of his name by the
club, is a pronounced free coinage
man. He said when spoken TO about
the club that it had been represented
TO him that the club was To be a Demo
cratic institution, and it's purpose was
not to antagoniZe in any way the Dem
cratic party. If he should learn that
il was the purpose of Croker to use the
club in opposition to free silver he
would withdraw at once from the club.
Other members said the same thing
and were indignant when referring to
the well-founded suspicious. concerning
the club.
One member from the Southwest
said:
Il will know the truth of this affair
in few days. We have begun an en-
animation into the object of the club,
and if the rumors prove true, and
Croker wants to use the club against
free silver we will all withdraw. The |
whole truth will soon be known"

The game was hotly contested and fun

many of the goals resulted, for there was
but little passing, and that little was almost
monopoliZed by the soldier boys.

stood to 3 In favor of the Fencibles

of the snappiest and fastest innings pla ayed

covering their points well, but they could
not overcome the lead, and finally lost

He is Yet to be Tried For Emb ezzlem emf
and other False Entries.-Case

Will Cason, son of John Cason,

fenced to five years IN the pen

in this county, and the friends of bis
mother sympathize with her greatly
in this most bitter bereavement.
The young man himself, before his
crooked conduct came to light, was

ing good business position, being a
member of the Hermitage Club and
moving in good social circles.
He was for number of years
bookkeeper for Duncan & Waddey.
one of the largest real estate firms

one case with embezzlement oe
something over $l2 600, and besid a
this there were three indictments
charging him with making false
entries on the books of the firm for
the purpose Of defrauding.
When the cases were called for
trial the Attorney General elected
to try one of the false entry cases
first and it was for this that he was
convicted.
The particular item involved in
this case was one of $500, made By
Cason on the cash book of Duncan

Card to the Public.

We, the undersigned fresh meat
dealers of Columbia, Tenn, find
that, on account of the high price of
cattle, i'm order to furnish fresh meat
to the good people of Columbia and
vicinity at a reasonable price, it
must be done with as little expense
as possible.
There are three items of expense
that we feel are a great burden to
the business; namely, the taking up
of orders, the delivery of meat over
the city and selling same on credit
We believe the people will anpre-
ciate the situation and will do as
they do in all the larger cities, come
or send and get what they want and
pay for it, and all will be happy. On
and after July lst we will endeavel
to do business on this basis, with
the permission of the public.
