GAME TO LIFE AGAIN.
A Woman Prepared for Burial is Called
Back BY Her Daughter

BACK by Eter Daugnter.
CHICAGO, Jan. IA special to the
Chronicle from indianapolis says:
Mrs. Ellen Crosby had narrow es-
cape from being buried alive in Craw.
ford county. She was pronounced dead
and preparations for the burial were
being made. While this was in progress
her daughter, 10 years old, worn
out by exhaustion, lay down ia
rest, but her eyes had scarcely
closed before she sprang up
and peremptorily insisted that her
mothers body be returned TO the bed.
She remarked that her mother had
called TO her in her sleep, saying
"Mary, don't let them bury me alive"
The undertaken complied with the
daughters request, saying it was
but dream, but the daughter
stoutly claimed the contrary and would
not be denied. Nearly eight hours
passed when Mrs. Crosby slowly opened
her eyes and looked at her daughter,
who had remained by her bedside, con-
stantly watching for a return TO life.
Mrs. Crosby is now considered in fair
way TO recovery.

MARVEL OF DIZZINESS

| TRADING Is VERY SMALL
Export of Gold This Week
Considered Certain.

New York, July 1.-THE sole interest
attaching to today's stock market was
as an example OF dullness. In that re-
spect it was a trus index Of the specn-
latiye condition, which is one OF entire
uncertainty and lack of conviction Even
the professional traders who have consi-
tuted themselves the champions Of GER
tain stocks during the week were not In
evidence, and only small trades bsween
the regular frequenters OF the foor were
made at any time. Offerings TO sell
made unduly large inroads on prices, be-
cause no one stood ready 10 buy, and
any demand to buy caused rapid ad-
vance, but nc reason was on hand 10
sell Most Of the board members were
out OF town for a holiday, confident that
nothing that could occur would induce
any sudden activity to develop. Some
desultory efforts were made TO advance
Union Pacific by making bids Tor the
next dividend on a specified numoer OF
shares at higher figure than the pre-
vailing dividend rate. But these efforts
received little attention. The market
was, as a whole, lower than last night
There was some light buying TO cover
shorts, but the large Increase in reserves
and in the surplus attracted even less
attention than did last weeks unexpect-
ed decrease. There was no explanation OF
the large gain in cash and it was gener-
ally accepted as the working OF the aver
age system in the rectificauon OF last
weeks unwsrranted show OF a loss. The
sterling exchange market was nominal
as usual on a Saturday, but the posted
rate for demand sterling was advanced
y cent in response 10 the rise in Lon
don discounts. Il is pretty certain that
these developments foreshadow an adj
vance in the Bank of England minimum
discount rate and export OF gold from
New York next week.
The bond market was steady. Total
sales, par value, s1.11,0j0. United States
