Woman Came to Life,

Sunday after the terrible tragedy in the colored Baptist Church in Birmingham, the Selma department of The Advertiser contained an account of the bodies of the persons killed on that occasion, being shipped through this city for burial One of these was a negro woman, whose name cannot be ascertained. who lived at Day. ton, Marengo County. Her body was shipped to Faunsdale. Uhe nearest sta ton to Dayton. and was met at that place by three or four negroes and was placed in a wagon and the long drive to Dayton was taken up. Besides the driver there were three other negroes in the wagon with the corpse. Everything went along smoothly for awhile, the four negroes discussing the many good quail ties of the deceased and their minds dwelling on holy things.
 Everything had moved along smoothly until they reached the McCorkle-Stickney place. It was a beautifully quiet Sunday and vast numbers of negroes had come out to the big road from the thickly popu- lated black land farms to see the mourn full cortege pass by. In the midst of all of this gloom an incident occurred that was not down on the program and three of the negroes in the wagon were scared half to death by what occurred.

One of them heard a mysterious thump- ing in the coffin. The wagon was stopped and the noise inside the box grew louder and louder. 1t sounded like hands and feet beating on the inside of the comm. All of a sudden there was crash or glass. The thin piece of glass over the face of the negro woman had been smash ed and a yell that would have made a Comanche Indian ashamed of his vocal requirements issued from that coffin and before its echoes had died away across the Johnson grass and golden rods that skirted that prairie road. three of the occupants of that wagon were sprinting for dear life for clump of bushes near by. where they hoped to be shielded from the evil spirit They were certain that devil had in some mysterious manner gotten inside the coffin and as self-pres- ervation Is the first law of nature, they left the corpse and thought of saving themselves.
 The old negro man who was driving the wagon, had more nerve than his com panions, however. and he hastily went to work to break open the lid of the box to let in air. When he got the lid of the pox open there lay the corpse" her eyes wide open, the precipitation standing on her brow. and pleading for a drink of water to cool her parched tongue. The lid of the coffin was hastily taken of the three negres, returned from the clump of bushes when, they saw that the driver was not dead and assisted the woman to relieving position in the wagon. They then drove on to the quarters where she was taken out and given stimulants and she soon commenced to regain strength and mental vigor. All that time she had been in comatose condition an dthe Birm- ingham undertakers and her friends. thinking she was dead had hastily placed her body in a coffin and but for the jolt ing over that prairie road restoring her to consciousness in a few more hours her body would have been consigned to the earth and death. horrible and agonizing, would have come to her under the ground, with no one to hear her cry for help.
 The negroes in that part of Marengo County are wrought up over the matter and religious excitement runs high over what they consider the miraculous ris- ing from the dead of this woman who was about to be consigned to the bosom or the earth.
