LIVE MAN IN GRAVE.
"COrpse" Arrested and Sent TO the
LOck-Up

From the Philadelphia Press.
Baltimore, Nov. 16.-Sexton John
Hinkel this morning found that a
man, very much alive, had been bur-
led in a grave in the yard surround
ing st. Johns Protestant Episcopal
Church. at Waverly.
Mr.. Hinkel visited newly made
grave that had been prepared for the
reception of the body of a woman to-
| day. In the grave he found an over
box" covered with about 200 pounds
| of stone and earth. He lifted the
cover and to his horror and amaze
ment a human form clad in a shroud
| of white, arose and came forth as
| though risen from the dead.
Hinkel was frightened, but he is a
nervy man and as the uncanny in
habitant of the grave stepped forth
the sexton grabbed him and held him
! until policemen arrived, and arrested
him.
The prisoner had with him a satchel
containing a curious collection of
death robes. He said his name was
John M. Badollet. and that he was
from Wilmington, Del, his hone be-
ing at 513 King street, that city. He
acknowledged also that he had buried
himself that he had seen an account
of a burial in morning newspaper
that was to take place in the grave
yard of st. Johns Church Sunday
afternoon, and that led him to occu-
by the grave.
When found by the sexton the
corpse" was attired in a long shroud
which bore the following inscription
in printed letter, -. Bernard, N. c."
Under this was a cross bearing the in
scription, flames N. Bernard" and
under the cross was a further inscrip-
ton. "Oct. 4. 1852; May IL, 1902" and
1902, another boy"
Badoilet made the following state
ment: II was born in Switzerland and
have been in this country about fif-
teen years. l was born on Oct. "a,
1859. 1 am by trade a matchmaker
and typewriter machine maker. The
last time i buried myself was at I3ris-
toll, Pa, May II, 1902"
A letter mailed at Baltimore on Sat
urday and received at the Press Of
flee yesterday, reads as follows
James Mark Bernard Is to be bur-
led alive in the following cemetery,
ST. John, Waverly. Baltimore, on the
18th inst. This burial is "a punishment.
Bernard by mere wickedness allowed
one of his friends to be buried in a
Potters' field. TO punish him we have
decided to bury. him alive as a pauper,
in plain pine box. When the grave
diggers will find the grave in disorder
they will investigate. and here we will
have our satisfaction to have Bernard
handled by grave diggers, and he will
realize how pauDer is treated. This
is our main point: we do not want
him to suffer the humiliation of being
found in a grave and handled by grave
diggers as a worthless corpse"
Minute details of the plans for the
burial We're given; and the letter was
signed 1.-THE Executioneers."

LIFE SAVERS REPORTS.


Washington, Nov. 19.-The general
superintendent of the Life Saving
Service has rendered his report for
the. year 1902. 1t continues to show
most gratifying results of the work
of the organization.
The number of disasters to vessels
within the scope of the operations of
the service during the last year was
greater than ever before, with the ex-
ception of the years 1893 and 1901 yet
the loss of life was very small The
number of lives lost from documented
vessels-those of five tons burden or
over-was only 10, while six were lost
from smaller craft--sailboats, row.
boats, etc. making a total of 25-a
number far below the average.
The amount of property imperiled
was greatly in excess of that of any
previous year in the history of thu
service owing to the unusual number
of large vessels involved. No less
than fifty-four vessels of over 1000
tons burden--of which number thirty
three were steamers-suffered disas-
ter. The loss of property, however
was comparatively light.
The number of disasters to docu-
mented vessels was 345. On board
these vessels were 3,424 persons, OF
which nineteen were lost. The esti-
mated value Of the vessels was So
283, $50, and that of their cargoes S.
139, $3.50, making the total value of prop
erty involved $14,393,010. OF this
amount $12, 125,220 was saved and ST.
267,7 lost. The number of vessels
totally lost was 81.

missed. Mrs. Cunningham sued Mrs.

thour to occupy rooms which she had
engaged. by the terms of the settle
ment, Mrs. Walthour paid Mrs. Cum
bingham $225, and paid the costs of
suit.
The suit was a novel one. and at
tracted considerable attention at the
time it was instituted. Mrs. Cunning
ham rented to Mrs. Wathour and her
daughter two rooms for the term of
six months for which. with board, she
asked SIS per month. After remaining
at her house for several days the lady
and her daughter left, and never re-
turned, saying that they were dissatis-
fed with the place.

clans in the country have failed to
do. For more than three years l doc
tored for consumption. and spent
thirteen weeks in a Pulmonary Sani-
tarium at Milwaukee, Wis. but find
ing myself growing worse. as a last
resort, came west where l was
belfast for many weeks, and the
physicians which my husband called
gave no hope, but said, she cam
not possibly live more than n few
days. But thanks to Peruna, L fool
ed them all.
"In an incredibly short time. after /
began to take Peruna the hemor-
rhages stopped. began to mend slow
~ at first, but the Improvement be-
came more marked, and now | can
truthfully say that there is not the
slightest trace of my old complaint.
II would have written you long
time ago, but have purposely waited
to see If the effect was lasting; and
in conclusion l would say. God bless
you and keep you with us that you
may go on with your work of mercy
for many years to come."-Mrs. M.

'Peruna as a cure for catarrh and a
tonic of most servicable excellence

proven by many of my friends who

III. Huling, p. o. address. Charleston,

Very few understand thoroughly
that consumption is caused by catarrh
1t may have begun as catarrh of the
head or throat. 1t silently and grad
ually creeps down the bronchial tubes
to the lungs. After the catarrh has
reached the lungs, it sets up the dis
ease knowp as consumption.
Peruna is not recommended as an
infallible cure for consumption. IL is
not likely that any remedy will cure
! consumption after the disease Is full
ly established but Peruna will cure
catarrh. 1t will cure catarrh when IL
is located in the throat. 1t will cure
catarrh after 1t has reached the lungs.
| If IT is not put off to long.
Many cases of catarrh of the lungs
that have been pronounced consump-
| ton and given up to die are cured by
Peruna. This happens every day. Like
