kO, the Austrian coal miner, whose
skull was crushed by the side of a
pickaxe on the road near Franklin on
the night of July 20, has regained his
speech and sense. He says that the
murderous assault, from the effects of

He accused his wife of unfaithful-
ness and she admitted her guilt. He
then gave her a severe beating and or
threatening to kill them if he ever saw

UNEARTH INTERESTING RELIC
ENCHANTING FOR A BUILD.
IN SEATTLE,
"In Memory Of John Clay, Who Died
October 3, 1460," Was the
Inscription.

Gently printed the following account
of the finding of a tombstone dated
1460. Accompanying the article is an
Illuminating quotation from Charles
Dickens "Pickwick Papers" The
story of the discovery follows:
I'm Memory of John Clay, Who Died
October 3, 1860"
Such is the inscription upon a dilap-
idated and time eroded gravestone I'M
eartned in the excavation being made
for the new Alaska Pacific warehouse
on Railroad avenue. The stone was
found 80 feet below the level of the
street, upon the surface line of an old
beach. When the Clipped and dirt
covered stone was pulled from its
earthen bed and the words upon it
were deciphered, the worKmen who
found it were staggered. The idea that
white man with the distinctively
American name of john Clay could
have lived, died and been buried on
the shores of Puget Sound 80 years be-
fore Columbus discovered the Western
hemisphere was too much for them.
The Seattle relic was unearthed just
back of the Northern Hotel. A number
of laborers were digging through the
fill preparing for building founda-
ton. Suddenly the pick Of one struck
a stone The obstruction was pried
from it's earthen bed. It's smoothness
and regular contour attracted atten-
ton. A workman picked it up. On the
face of the slab, which was Of dressed
sandstone about II inches long by s
inches WIDE he spied faint traces of
lettering. With his fingers he cleaned
away the dirt. In Memory of John
Clay, Who Died-"Turning the slab
over, he cleaned the other face, and,
behold, these words greeted him: "Oc-
tober 8, 1862
The workman looked at the date,
blinked his eyes and scratched MS
head to make sure he was not dream

thought

asked, turning to a companion.

HOLD ASSEMBLY
Clerical and Lay Delegates
of the Oakland District

ALAMEDA, Dec. 12.-Thirty- five
clerical ana lay delegates representing
Presbyterian churches in Oakland,
Alameda. Berkeley, FruitvaIe. san
Leandro. Haywards and Pleasanton
participated in the deliberations Of
the winter session of the Oakland
presbytery, held here to-day in the
First Presbyterian Church. Rev. Ar
thur Hicks of Oakland acted as mod
orator.
After some discussion il was de-
cided TO delay until the spring meet
ing of the presbytery the vote on the
question of receiving back into the
parent fold the Cumberland Presby-
terian church, which originated as the
result Of a schism in the church Just
prior to the Civil War At the meet
ing of the general assembly of Pres
byterians held in Buffalo last May the
sentiment was in favor Of readmitting
the Cumberland Presbyterians. but it
was then decided to give the district
presbyteries throughout the United
States an opportunity 70 vote on the
question. If two-thirds of the presby-
teries are for admission it is expected
lhal the next general assembly, which
IS 10 convene at WiniOna Lake, Ind.
next May, will receive the Cumber-
land Presbyterians into the fold. From
the trend Of remarks to-day ii an
pears that the present sentiment of
the Oakland presbytery is against
such action
The following were elected dele
gates to represent the Oakland pres
bytery at the general assembly next
May: Rev. J. E. Anderson, San Le-
andre; Rev. Arthur Hicks. Oakland: !:
j. C. Christ and J. c. Bee. The spring
session Of the Oakland Presbytery will
