Was Preparing Her for Burial When
She Gave Signs Of Life.
New York, Feb 2S.-Miss Edith Cur
zon, beautiful girl living in Red Bank,
n. j., was brought to life yesterday,
after she had been pronounced dead
and an undertaken had arrived to pre-
pare her body for burial. The girl
opened her eyes, smiled and sank into
a peaceful sleep.
Her supposed death followed cele-
bration Of Washington's birthday, in
which she posed as the Goddess Of Lib
erty and carried off the prize. She did
not dress warmly enough and caught a
heavy cold
This was pronounced pneumonia,
and on Thursday the doctor said there
was no hope. At noon he said she was
dead. The undertaken failed to see
any signs of life, but noticed that an
arm had been drawn from her side
over the girls face. Work to revive
her was rewarded in half an hour and
the doctor pronounced the crisis passed.

BILL TO MAKE CITIES LIABLE.
For Any Damage to Property or Per-
son During Riot.

For Any Damage to Property or Per
son During Riot.
The trolley strike in this city has
been the source of many things and
one Of them is bill in the legislature
providing for the taxation of cities or
towns for whatever damage is done
there to property and for whatever
assistance in the way of protection
is given by the state or county authOri-
ties. At present the state is RESPONSE
BILE for all the expense Of maintaining
and bringing the military here a few
weeks ago, and the county must foot
the bills for the expense of the deputy
sheriffs, but under the proposed bill
the city would have to pay all this.
Robert *. Brown was among those
from this city who appeared at Hart
ford yesterday in favor of the bill,
but the bill did not come up before the
committee on account Of the failure
to appear of those who are greatly in
terested in it. 1t was drawn up by
State Attorney Williams of Derby and
Attorney John w. Alling of the firm
of Alling, Webb & Morehouse of New
Haven. The matter has excited the
interest Of all the corporation lawyers
in the state as well as the corporations
they represent. But it has some able
and formidable opponents and will I'M
questionably draw forth great deal
| of comment and criticism before it
reaches the committee.
! Some say that such a bill would be
most Injurious to any locality where
any widespread disturbance took place:
and great many believe it would
work widespread disaster to Industries
all over the state. On the other hand
some say it would be the most effective
means of lessening danger from indus
trial disturbances, because it would
4 necessarily interest the large property
holders. the big taxpayers, as well as
the little ones and by their united
pressure would soon bring to close
the cause Of public excitement. Pub
lie opinion, which is said to be the
greatest weapon of all, stronger than
the voice of labor or the jingle of CAPT
tai. would be aroused to such an extent
as to save the community from burden
some taxation that the cause of the
commotion would very soon subside.
And another feature against the bill
is that in case. of riot, where it would
be necessary to call in the aid of the
military the expense Of maintaining q
large body of troops would cripple the
community Some thirty years ago,
it is said, there was riot along the
shore near Milford and the military
had to be called out. If such a bill as
that proposed was then in existence
the town Of Milford would be financial
/ Iv crippled forever. But 1t is said
that it is this very feature in it that
would prevent disturbances or make
/ it necessary to call in state aid. and
promptly bring about settlement Of
any cause Of widespread disturbance.
