BURIED IN A CHAIR.
Eccentric Wan Who Was Opposed to
Intermeuf.


Amesbury, Mass. Jan. 25.-The wishes
of Reuben John Smith, an eccentric man
of II years. who died yesterday, are to be
carried out in detail, and today he was
buried in a chair wearing a slouch hat
and his costly marble tomb in Mount Pros
pect Cemetery was sealed up by brick
masons.
Mr.. Smith came here in 1867 from Buffa-
10. n. Y, and nothing is known as to his
early life or his relatives. He did paper
hanging and whitewashing for several
years, and later drove a depot hack. He
was an inveterate checker player and a
jolly companion of the Older inhabitants.
Greatly afraid of being placed in the
ground he~built marble sarcophagus last
fall He arranged that his body should be
placed there in a chair, and under no con-
sideration was it to be put in casket or
buried in the ground
Mr. Smith arranged with Undertaken
Austin in regard TO his burial, and among
the suggestions he made was one that ii
it wss winter time a soft felt hat should
be placed on his bald head when his body
was placed in the iron chair within the
sarcophagus but if in summer 10 hat
was to be used.
He also expressed a wish that the public
be permitted to look upon his remains
after they had been placed in the chair,
and that after that the entrance should be
sealed up with foot wall of brick, the
outer steel door locked and the key de-
Strored

and Wife Grew jealous.
Williamsport Pa, Jan. 25.-E. W. May
nard, prominent citizen of this city, was
yesterday placed under s400 bail for trial
at court on a charge of assault and bat
terry upon his wife, while Encie PCtt r.
a pretty twenty-year- first cousin of
Maynard, was placed under 800 BAH for
alternating the affections of Mr.. Maynard.
Mrs. Maynard was the prosecutrix in both
cases, and her statement under o1th dur
ing the hearing before Alderman Battle
created decided sensation.
Up to two months ago Maynard who
comes of one of the oldest and most aris-
tocratic families in the city. was lead
ing coal dealer here. Mrs. Maynard testi-
lied that the trouble between herself and
husband began about four weeks ago.
Miss Potter, who came here from Tioga
county to enter the hospital as a nurse,
called frequently at their home, and about
two months ago she took up her residence
there. 1t was then that the actions of her
husband and Miss Potter aroused her sus-
picion. She testified that upon several oc-
casions when she and Miss Potter retired
together Miss Potter remained in bed but
a short time, when she went downstairs
attired only in her night dress. and she
there awaited the arrival of Mr.. Maynard
On the night of January - Mrs. May
nard testified that she discovered her hus-
band and Miss Potter in the parlor and a
scene ensued. Miss Potter declared that
MIR. Maynard was only blowing cigar
smoke in her face. 1t was upon this occa-
sion that the assault which Mrs. Maynard
charges her husband with is alleged to
have taken place a brother of Mrs. May
nard testified that he saw finger prints or
,t..,. ,,S,N -,Il
said that she heard her father say he would
kill her mother. Neither Mr.. Maynard noi
Miss Potter offered any defence, and both
furnished the bail demanded at once.

The club prospered and for long time
its existence was kept secret. The en-
trance was contrived from a corridor by
an invisible door; an ordinary visitor
walking past saw only a wall paneled With

the "Innocents' Club" Vast sums of
money were lost, and in some cases obi

women and children of this place and
strangers from distant parts.

If it is very cold. so much the better. I

ever before in my life.
1T is simply glorious, this cod plunge
in the surf, and l hope soon to organize

ASSAULTED BY a GHOST.
John McGrath's Encounter With II
PugilfStic Apparition.

Kingston. n Y, jan 25.-John McGrath
is dangerously i'll at his homo in lie Fever
Falls from severe trounciEg he received
last night. he asserts, from a ghost. He
was returning home from Bloomington.
when, he says he was suddenly attacked
by the ghost OF old Moses Nathan, a ped
Ter. who committed suicide about year
ago by hanging himself to tree at the
cross roads. The spectre of the pedler
according to McGrath, followed him for a
distance. and then. suddenly springing at
him, commenced to beat him unmerci-
fully.
McGrath fought back, but although he
says he struck the apparition many times.
his blows took no effect. His fists, he de-
clared, seemed to pass completely through
the spirit. Every blow of the ghost, i"
however. left its mark on different parts
OF McGrath's body, and he finally was
beaten until he became unconscious
When he revived he found himself in the
middle of the road. He managed to drag
himself home.
II is believed by McGraths friends that
some enemy put on a white costume TO
make an attack upon him.
