Neapolitan Lovers Gruesome Method
of Consolation.

Naples, Oct. 3l.-A particularly
gruesome story has come to light IN
this city. Eliza Scalisi, & beautiful
young woman, was engaged to be
married to a young mar named Ales-
sandro, but she died few days be-
fore the date set for the ceremony
and was buried in local cemetery.
Alessandro was heartbroken over
his bereavement, and one night he
dug up the body and carried 1t to MS
lodging. He embalmed the corpse OF
the young woman, dressed it IN Its
bridal clothes. and kept it in his
rooms for a fortnight. Ne,ghbors
finally grew curious from the fact
that the young man never went
abroad, and peeping one day Through
his shattered windows they saw
Alassendro seated alongside the dead
body of the woman who was to have
been, his wife affectionately holding
her hand.
The police were informed and Ales-
sandro was arrested. The body has
been buried a second time.

The spirit Of the Joliet Convention

on the floor during stormy business

At the moment it did not appear that
we we're, but every man Of expert

DR.. Sears was not only calculated to
Quiet the storm, but that it. was the
expression Of the general feeling OF
the meeting, which had been evldenc-
ed in many ways. and which was to
be dem monstrated farther in the very
dispute which to superficial observers
looked as though it might disrupt tho
organization. Organizations OF busl-
ness men, and even the fraternal So
cieties, to say nothing of a patrlotlc
society like the Daughters Of the
American Revolution, do not always
have meetings Of such harmony that
the members appear to be brethren

London, Feb. 27.-The new central
criminal court. erected on the site of
the historic old Newgate prison. com
monty known as the Old Bailey, was
opened today by King Edward. who
was accompanied by Queen Alexan-
dra. The function was a semistate
affair and considerable ceremonial was
observed. The streets traversed by
the royal procession were decorated
with bunting and lined by large
crowds of people. The lord mayor
and the sheriffs in their robes of state
met their majesties at Temple Bar,
where the lord mayor presented the
king with the city sword, symbolical
of handing over the defense of the
city to his majesty while he remained
within the boundaries. In a pavilion
in front of the portico of the new ses-

FERRY INUNDATED.
PANIC FOLLOWS

NEW YORK. Oct. 26.-Passengers on
the Erie line ferry6oat. Chautauqua, had
disagreeab.e experience today, and a
disastrous panic was narrowly. averted
when the lower decks were swept by
the wash from the Metropolitan line
steamer Yale. A wave three feet in
depth swept the fun length OF the
feTTybOat.
The Chautauqua was late, and for
that reason was run close to the Yale,
which leaves a great wash in her wake.
The decks OF the ferryboat were crowd
ed when the wave came aboard. Many
persons were knocked down and com
pletely drenched. Hardly a soul on
the lower deck escaped being soaked
from the waist down. Instantly the cry
was raised that the ferryboat was sink
ing, and there was a rush for life pre-
servers. The crew and officers had
their hands fun allaying the panic.
