A BISHOPS STRANGE STORY.
The Voice Of a Woman Heard From,
the Grave

CHICAGO. Jan. 29.-Bishop Samuel Fsl-
lows. Of the Reformed Episcopal Church
tells 2 marvellous story Of physical pbe-
Eomena, In which he asserts that a hus-
band heard his wife calling after she had
been buried. and that On hastily reOpaniug
the grave found her unconscious. but still
alive. The minister declines to give the
real names. using the name Of Smith.
As Fallows tells the story some years
ago Mrs. Charles Smith, the wife OF
young man living on the north side. was
taken seriously in and died in a short time
She was not embalmed. and was buried
two or three days later in Rose i'm Gene
terry.
She was buried in the afternoon. IN the
middle Of the night Mr. Smith was awak-
ened by some one calling his name. He
head the name two or three times
CHARLES. Charles. very distinctly He
did not associate the voice with anyone he
knew. and said to himself that il was a
hallUCinatiOu. Being "a man Of Materials
tic views he attached no superstitious
meaning 10 the matter, and soon fell into
q troubled sleep again.
After a little while he was awakened nv
the voice again, this time more insistent:
Charles Charles Charles"
Just as day was breaking for the third
time he heard the call again. this time
entreaungly. the minister. declares. This
time he recognized the voice very DISTINCT
ly as that Of his wife. Moved by some Tn
eNplainable impulse, he spraug up. search
ed the room thoroughly found no one. and
rushed into where a friend was asleep.
Come. get up, We must go to Rose
HILL" he cried.
His friend tried to dissuade him. but 10
no purpose They harnessed a horse TO a
light buggy, took spades and pickaxes and
drove to the cemetery at breakneck. speed.
As quickly as possible they dug down to
the coffin and opened il. The young wife
was Just turning over in the casket
Although alive. she WAS unconscious.
Presumably she had been in a stupor the
entire time. She was taken home. re-
covered. and is alive today. She has no
idea that she was ever buried alive. and
probably If she had known all OF the cir
C'msrances at that time the shock would
have killed her. She was told that she
had been very i'll and had recovered al
most miraculousiy.

PREPARING FOR A STRIKE.
The Great Northern Said To lie Hir-
ing Wen Secretly.

CHICAGO. Jan. 29-Two men. reported
to be agents Of the Great Northern Rail-
road, rented room on the second floor Of
the Wyoming Hotel Saturday and were
called on by about zoo men. One Of them
afterward said
Those fellows are trying to hire con.
ductOrs and brakemen Tor freight trains
and switchmen for the Great Northern
Railroad in anticipation Of a strike among
the present employees. They offered us free
transportation to ST. Paul and the wages
now being paid. I was told they had hired
about 100 men and wanted a great many
more.
W. L. Campbell. general agent Of the
freight department of the Great Northern.
became very angry when asked if il was
true that brakemen and switchmen were
being nired secretly here in anticipation of
a strike on the Great Northern. He said:
There is no trouble among the employees
OF the Great Northern. The newspapers
have been printing a lot Of stories without
any foundation.
Nevertheless. men are being hired. and
only those having had experience in train
or yard service are accepted.
