GIRL WHO WAS BURIED ALIVE
Experience of Florence Gibson, Who
stood the Ordeal of Nine Days
Under Ground.

Here is the story of a girl who was ac-
tually buried alive nine days five feet.
below the surface of the ground. That the
gruesome appeals as strongly to the Ameri-
can people as the bull fight to the Span
ish never was more truly borne out, for
1000 people gathered at a summer resort,
Cedar Point, near Sandusky, o., in Septem-
Der to witness the hypnotic exhibition OF a
Hindoo mystic, and the burial alive Of a
pretty, young Washington ID. c., girl who
subjected herself to the ordeal, The biting
need OF money was the motif OF Florence
Gibson. The large reward held out by
the Hindoo mystic would bring many Of
the comforts Miss Gibson's mother needed,
so she determined to take the risk. On a
platform in the presence Of thousands Of
people at the little summer resort, she was
placed in a hypnotic state by the mystic.
Out In a grave dug in the sands of Cedar
Point Beach, Lake Erie, they carried her,
the mob Of curious eyed, following. A
heavy box built of heavy timber was her
coffin. The lid was placed over her, and
with long screws fastened In place. There
were no tunnels or any way QUIZ asserted
the grave diggers engaged by the under
taker. A board shaft six inches In iameteT
was placed over Miss GibsOn's face and
led up to the top Of the grave. Five feet Of
dirt was thrown upon the coffin. An cleo
trio light was arranged over the girls face
so that all the motley crowd could walk
by and see that she was actually In the
coffin.
The sandusky Humane society protested,
but of no avail. There is no law to cover
the case" said the judge. For nine days
the girl remained beneath the damp sod.
Then the Hindoo ordered the grave dug
out and the coffin brought to the stage In
the Cedar Point theater. In the presence OF
an immense throng the lid was removed
and at the sight Of the gruesome spectacle
the audience was awestricken and held it's
breath in suspense. To all appearances the
girl was dead; her face was ashen and her
lips were blue, but true to his promise the
Hindoo, with a few mystic gestures and
mutterings OF unintellIgible words, brought

new YORK STOCKS AND BONDS
Consolidated Affected by RumOrs o.
Court Decision.
SHOW OF STRENGTH IN MARKET
Advances Sporadic and D~isquietinE
Rather Than ReassurinR, and OF
ARTIFICIAL ApPearance-Uneasi-
ness over Foreign Affairs.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-There was a
spotty show OF strength in today's stock
market In a number Of stocks not usually
Of foremost prominence. Hasty sales to
realize on the sudden advance caused a
sudden relapse. Consolidated Gas was q
conspicuous case In point. That stock was
affected by rumors that the supreme court
at Washington would hand down on Mon
day a decision favorable to the contention
OF the company against the 80-cent gas
law. As there is no possibility OF v~erifica-
ton OF such a rumor, the stock moved un-
certainly in response. There was similar
uncertainty, although over a narrow range,
IN the movement Of Missouri, Kansas q
Texas, which started into activity on a
variety Of rumors pointing to the merging
OF the system with, several other railroads.
Dividend rumors formed another source OF
ammunition for bullish demonstrations.
The effect OF these sporadic advances was
disquieting, rather than reessuring, to the
tone Of the general list. The. Artificial APP
pearapoe of the advances deprived them OF
convincing force and the usual favorlte
mediums for trading operations we're in
ciined to depression, The Hartman Pa
cities, Reading, United States Steel, Anal
gamated Copper and American Smelling
dropped to lower levels. The movement of
these stocks determined the undertone OF
the whole market. Their decline was
based on doubts over tie general specula-
tive position owing to high level prices,
the prospective capital requirements In the
form Of new issues and the undercurrent OF
uneasiness over the European political
situation. Foreign sales of securities here
we're large, The discrepancies between the
weekly statement of banking averages and
the actual condition were unusually wide,
especially in the cash item. The gain IN
cash Of S,3B7,OO0, Indicated by the average
compared with a decrease of $4,0OO,00 In
the actual condition. The average daily
loans have expanded only 81, $4,000, while
the actual increase In that item was $40,
$40, 700 and this was supplemented by a loan
increase of $5,SS4,S0 In loans on other
banks. The important BOND operations OF
the week seem to have affected this item
largely. The shrinkage in the surplus in
the averages, while but A,46S $40, reaches
the substantial figure of 1851, 2S in the
actual showing, the effect OF the. latter
being thus deferred for later statements
of the averages.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, pal
value, secs, 600. United States bonds were
unchanged on call during the week.

CHICAGO, Nov. &.-DecreRsed receipts
offset the favorable weather conditions for
the sown crop OF wheat and caused a firm
tone in the local wheat market nearly all
day. The close, however, was easy, with
prices almost unchanged from the previous
close. Corn and oats closed easy. Provi-
sions were steady.
The wheat market opened firm, with
prices o shade to A@2sc higher. There
was a good demand in evidence by COM
mission houses, but offerings during the
first part of the day were meager, which
resulted in a further slight advance in all
deliveries. The demand was based mainly
on a decided failing off in the movement,

day a year ago. Minneapolis, Duluth and
Chicago reported receipts of IA cars, as
against 71 last week and 75 a year ago.
Corn was weak all day, owing to selling
by cash intere SITS. The principal reason
for the weakness was the steady increase
in receipts and a continued slack demand
for the cash grain by shippers and ex-
porters. Trade was inclined to drag dur

market closed weak at the lowest point,
