HOUSE AND SENATE.
The DlwiiMlon of Important Measures
Briefly Epitomized.
Immediately after the reading of the
journal, and Chaplain Bagby’a prayer,
m tho house, Monday morning, a
message was announced from the pres¬
ident, by Mr. Prnden, conveying the
intelligence of tho assassination of
President Carnot. It was at once laid
before the house, and Mr. McCreary,
of Kentucky, chairman of the com¬
mittee on foreign affairs, offered the
following resolutions: “Resolved,
that the house of representatives of
the United States of America has
beard with profound sorrow of the as¬
sassination of President Carnot,
and tenders tho people of Franco
their sincere sympathy in their
national bereavement. That the
president of the United States be
requested to communicate this expres¬
sion of sorrow to the government of
the republieof France, and to Madame
Carnot, and that as a further mark of
respect to the memory of the president
of tho French republic, the house of
representatives do now adjourn. Mr.
Hitt, of Illinois, ex-chairman of the
committee on foreign affairs, and for¬
merly secretary of legislation at Paris,
paid a brief and eloquent tribute to
the memory of the dead president, and
tho resolutions were agreed to. In ac¬
cordance with their terras, Speaker
Crisp, at 12:10 o’clock, declared the

Proceding the further consideration
of tho general deficiency appropria¬

Til K HKNATK.
The assassination of tho president of
tho French republic was the ono over¬
ruling topic in tho senate—as well as
in Washington city—Monday morn¬
ing. It was referrod to in the open¬
ing prayer of tho chaplain of tho sen¬
ate, who implored that Divine grace
and mercy may rest upon us and our
afflicted country, so that we may at
least corao to that unity and brother¬
hood intended by Jesus Christ, tho
ruler of tho world. The reading of
Saturday’s journal was dispensed with
and, after a quorum of the committee
on foreign relations had appeared,
Air. Morgan, chairman, rose and, in
a voice tremulous with emotion, said:
“Mr. President, a duty devolves upon
mo as chairman of the committee on for¬
eign relations of the senate, to make
the saddest announcement that can bo
mndo to the American people in regard
to auy event outside of their own bor¬
ders. It is the death, by assassination,
of President Carnot, of the republic of
France. In view of that very oppres¬
sive and alarming event at which the
nations of tho earth will feel a serious
shock, I present for the consideration
of the senate the following resolution:
Resolved, That the senate of the
United States unites with the Ameri
can peoplo in expressing their sorrow
and sympathy to the people of Franco
in tho national bereavement they aro
suffering from the cruel blow of au as¬
sassin,which was aimed at the peace of
France and fell upon the heart of the
president, and as a mark of respect due
to the memory of tho wise, virtuous
and patriotic president of the repub¬
lic of France, tho senate will, at the
close of this proceeding, stand ad¬
journed until tomorrow at ten o’clock
a. m. Resolved, That the president
of tho United States is requested to
communicate this expression of na¬
tional sorrow to the government of the
Republic of Franco and to Madame
Carnot. After tho rending of the reso¬
lution Mr. Morgan made a few eulo¬
gistic remarks, after which the senate
adjourned until 10 Tuesday morning.
When the tariff bill was taken up in
the senate Tuesday, Mr. Hill withdrew
tho amendment he had offered Satur¬
day to strike out the provision exempt¬
ing iuterest on United States bonds
from the operation of the tax. He
also moved to exempt state, county and
municipal bonds. He urged that tho
taxatiou of state bonds by the federal
government would be a direct attack
upon the administration of the states.
After an hour and a half of discussion
the amendment was rejected—yeas 23,
nays 30.
The senate was occupied Wednesday
in the discussion of the income tax.
In the senate, Thursday, the house
joint resolution to continue all regu¬
lar annual appropriation bills for one
month, was laid before the senate and
received its second reading. At 10:30
the vice-president laid the tariff bill
before the senate. The pending
amendment was that of Mr. Hill to
limit the time to a period between
March 1st aud August 1st of each
year, when the books of corporations
should be open for inspection. Mr.
Chandler moved to amend the amend¬
ment 60 as to add these words: “And
then only upon the order of a judge of
the United States court.” The consid¬
eration of the income tax provisions of
the tariff bill was completed at 12:35.
Mr. Hill moved to strike out all sec¬
tions of the bill relating to the income
tax and made a speech in support of
his motion. Mr. Hill’s motion to strike
out the income tax was lost bv a vote
of 24 to 40.
Dupuy’s Resignation Accepted.
A Paris special says: President Oasi
mir-Perier has accepted the resigna¬
tion of Premier Dupuy and the other
members of the ministry,to go into ef¬
fect after the funeral of M. Carnot, on
which occasion M. Dupuy will deliver
an oration in the Pantheon on behalf
of the government.
THE MONROE ADVERTISER, FORSYTH, GA, TUESDAY, JULY 3, 1894.—EIGHT PAGES.
PRESIDENT PERIEIL
THE FRENCH CONGRESS SELECTS
CARNOT’S SUCCESSOR.
M. Cassimir-Perfer Gets a Majority of
the Votes.
A Paris cable dispatch says: The
National Congress, summoned to elect
a President of the French Republic for
the full term of seven years, was called
to order in the Palace of Versailles,
by M. Challemel-Lacour at 1:10p. in.
Wednesday.
At least five minutes elapsed after
the formal call to order, before there
was sufficient quiet to enable the pre¬
siding officer to be heard, When
finally the assembly became orderly,
M. Challemel-Lacour announced the
tragic death of M Carnot, and de¬
clared the congress open for the pur¬
pose of electing his successor.
•Scarcely had the president ceased
speaking, when M. Micbelin, socialist,
sprang to his feet and shouted: “I de¬
mand the suppression of the Presiden¬
cy of the Republic.”
A tumultuous scene ensued, the up¬
roar being so great that the president
could not make himself heard. The
socialists seemed to be stronger
lunged, and their cries of “Vive revo¬
lution!” could be heard all over the
hall.
LOTS CAST FOR THE FIRST VOTE.
Lots were then enst for the ballot,
the object being to see which letter the
ballot should begin with. The letter
“L” was drawn and the name of M.
Labarthe, a moderate republican, was
first called.
In accordance with the custom, M.
Labarthe ascended the rostrum and,
being recognized by the scrutator,
placed his ticket in a great urn which
serves as a ballot box, and descended
and returned to his seat. The senators
and deputies whose names were subse¬
quently called, went through the same
ceremony. The voting proceeded mon¬
otonously in this way.
When the name of M. Fabriot,
socialist, was called, he exclaimed:
“I shall not vote, because I believe an¬
other presidency will kill the republic.
When tho calling of the roll was fin¬
ished, tliero was a counter call for
absentees. This occupied a few min¬
utes, and then the counting of the
votes began. M. Cassimir-Perier
was elected President on the first bal¬
lot, receiving 451 votes.
BRIEF SKETCH OF THE NEW PRESIDENT.
Jean Cassimir-Perier, now president
of the Chamber of deputies, and just
elected President of France, is a
grandson of the President of tho Coun¬
cil under King Louis Phillippe, aud
his father was a minister under Thiers.
He was born in 1847. During tho
Franco-German war he volunteered to
sorvo with tho “Mobiles” of the Aube,
and, distinguishing himself, received
the Legion of Honor. In 1872 he be
camo chief of the Cabinet of his fa¬
ther’s department, and was elected to
the chamber in 1874. In 1883 be was
appointed under secretary of war.
He was elected vice president
of the chamber in 1890, and is
today president of that body. He is
described as a short man, dark in com¬
plexion, with unexceptionable man
ners, well dressed and military look¬
ing. He does not look his age, has a
lofty forehead, a bright and frank eye,
a short nose, and a general air of de¬
cision and determination.
M. Cassimir-Perier is regarded in
his country as a hard worker and a
man of strong character and indomit¬
able will. He has never been extreme
in his political opinions, but has al¬
ways taken great interest in questions
of political economy and defense. He
was premier of one of M. Carnot’s
short-lived cabinets, from December
of last year until the latter part of
May, and his resignation then was said
to have been due to his repugnance to
do anything unpopular.
Now that he is elected, things will
again look lively in Europe. M. Casi
mir-Perier is just the man to lend his
support to a strong anti-English policy
and to continue M. Carnot’s traditions
by keeping friendly with Russia.
TAR AND FEATHERS
Is What Colorado’s Adjutant General
Was Treated To.
Shortly after midnight Saturday Ad¬
jutant General Tarsney, of the Colorado
state national guard, was called from
his room at the Alamo hotel, at Color¬
ado Springs, and informed that some¬
body at Cripple Creek wished to speak
to him over the telephone, and when
he appeared to answer the call he was
confronted by masked men, armed with
revolvers, who requested him to ac¬
company them.
General Tarsney called for help,but
was quickly clubbed into submission.
Several more kidnappers appeared and
carried him to the sidewalk, where two
carriages under guard were in waiting.
He was forced into one carriage and
both carriages were then driven at a
rapid rate to Austin bluffs. General
Tarsney was then removed from the
carriage, stripped and a coat of tar
and feathers quickly administered.
After tar aud feathering him General
Tarsney was warned against returning
to the Springs.
COMBINE OF COTTON PLANTERS.
A Proposition to Organize to Keep Up
Prices for Seed.
A number of the leading cotton
planters of Louisiana, Arkansas and
Mississippi have called a convention
to meet at Vicksburg, Miss., on July
12th, to devise ways and means for
selling this season’s crop of cotton
seed. The planters complain that the
oil mills have made a combine against
them and that in consequence the
price of seed has ranged very low—§11
in New Orleans and only §7 in some
of the interior towns—in spite of the
fact that the supply has been very
short.
A Woman to Hang.
The trial of Mrs. Lizzie Halliday
for the murder of her husband and two
women named Quillian. has been con¬
cluded at Monticello, N. Y., with the
conviction of the prisoner. The jury
found her guilty of murder in the first
degree. Mrs. Halliday’s only defense
was a plea of insanity aud that was
upset by Dr. E. C. Manu, an expert.
Mrs. Halliday was sentenced to be ex¬
ecuted during the week l>eginning
August 6, 1894.

new city directory gives Chattanooga,
including her suburbs, a population of
46,353. This is a loss of 3,426 as com¬
pared with a similar census made in

INGTON CITY.
Brief Notes Concerning the Business
of Our Government.
The readjustment of salaries of the
postmasters throughout tho United
States was given out Tuesday, The
new scale goes into effect this 1st of
July.
The president sent to the senate
Tuesday the following nominations:
Charles DeKay, of New York, to be
consul general at Berlin, Germany.
Wm. Little, of North Carolina, to be
consul at Tegucigalpa, Honduras.
Speaker Crisp’s bill for a 50,000 pub¬
lic building at Americus has been re¬
ported favorably to the house and
takes its place on the calendar. While
it may not be considered at this ses¬
sion, owing to the rush of business,
it is certain to pass at the next ses¬
sion.
Representative Cummings, of New
York, r Thursday afternoon, took the
bill making labor day a national holt
day to the white house and President
Cleveland signed it at once. The pen
and holder, a plain steel stub and
wooden affair, will be sent by Mr.
Cummings to Samuel Gompers, presi¬
dent of the American Federation of
Labor.
The senate disposed of the income
tax Thursday afternoon after a very
brief discussion. The final vote was
taken upon Senator Hill’s motion
to strike the tax from the bill. This was
rejected by a vote of forty to twenty
four. Six republicans voted with the
majority. They were Senators Teller,
Shoup, Power, Pettigrew, Hansbrougli
and Mitchell, of Oregon. The demo¬
crats who voted against the tax were

The banks of New York have re¬
ceipted the treasury for gold exported
to the extent of $3,500,000, bringing
up the gold reserve to $66,000,000.
From this is to be abstracted $1,000,
000 engaged for export Tuesday, leav¬
ing the gold reserve standing in round
figures §65,000,000. The treasury
balance, which includes the reserve, is
§115,594,000. Treasury payments are
being curtailed to the closest notch in
an endeavor to keep the net expendi¬
tures for the fiscal year from exceed¬
ing the receipts by more than §75,
000 , 000 .
Postmaster General Bissell has sent
out a circular letter to postmasters,
warning them not to interfere in po¬
litical matters. The gist of the order
is in this paragraph : “Tho influence
of federal office holders should not be
felt in the manipulation of political
primary meetings and nominating con¬
ventions. The use by these officials
of their position to compass their se¬
lections as delegates to political con¬
ventions is indecent and unfair, and
proper regard for tho proprieties and
requirements of official place will also
prevent their assuming the active con¬
duct of political campaigns.”
The President Speaks.
President Cleveland has given to
the press the following expression on
the financial situation. “The offer of
certain New York banks to replace
from their vaults gold drawn from the
government treasury for shipment
abroad is certainly thoughtful and pa¬
triotic. It not only tends to maintain
the treasury’s gold reserve in
good condition, but it adds to
the stock of popular confidence,
which is at all times important. The
elements which make up our actual
situation do not justify any apprehen¬
sion ; and the administration still ad¬
heres to its pledge and determination
to protect our national credit at all
hazards and to keep the quality of our
money equal to the best so far as the
limits of executive power permits.
“Of course, croaking and the spread
of disquieting tales are calculated to
injure the strongest financial condi¬
tions. I assume, however, that there
is too much patriotism among our peo¬
ple and too much familiarity with our
resources and capabilities to permit
our reserved force and financial vigor
to be discredited. When the last
government bonds were issued to
replenish our stock of gold it
was nearly as low as now, while out¬
side of our gold we had as available
money to pay ordinary expenses of
government We only about §19,000,000.
have now beside our gold and in
money applicable to government ex¬
penses more than §53,000,000. I un¬
derstand that it is charged in certain
quarters that the payment of matured
obligations is postponed to the amount
of §50,000,000 or §75,000,000.
This is not true. We are paying as we
go in the usual “way. Last year, up to
June 1st, the balance against us aris¬
ing from the export and import of
merchandise, including gold and sil¬
ver, was $64,552,046. The balance in
our favor for the same period this
year was $62,960,562, representing a
change in our favor of §127,512,-
608. These conditions, taken in con¬
nection with the willingness of our
banks to Help the treasury during any
temporary and unusual drain of gold
ought to satisfy the most conservative
of our safety. It must not be forgot¬
ten as another favorable feature in the
situation that we are no longer purchas¬
ing silver and issuing gold obligations
in paymont thereof.”
ITALIANS ATTACK FRENCHMEN
And it May Cause Trouble Between
the Two Countries.
The exodus of thousands of Italians
from southern France, the refugees
mainly passing through Turin, culmi¬
nated in reprisals at the latter place
Wednesday the evening. The hotels in
Frenchmen city which are most frequented by
were attacked by a mob
and the troops dispersed the rioters
with the utmost difficulty. For the
remainder of the night everything was
quiet, but anti-French manifestations
were resumed Thursday morning. The
force of military and police has been
strengthened.
Danger of War.
Advices from Paris are to the effect
that the murder of an Italian by a
frenzied crowd anywhere in France
just now might be the signal for a
European war. The newspapers of
France, Italy and England display ex¬
traordinary caution in not expressing
this universal fear, but it is the one
topic in Paris.
TRADE REVIEW.
Report of Business for the Past Week
by Dun & Co.
B. GL Dun «fe Co.'s review of trade
for the past week says: “The week has
been rich in promise but poor in
performance. It was confidently prom¬
ised that exports of gold would cease,
but they have not. It was promised
that the end of the coal strike would
bring immediate recovery to indus¬
tries, but partial resumption of work
discloses a comparative scantiness of
the demand for products; while the
miners of Ohio, in convention, have
repudiated the settlement and con¬
tinue the strike, and in many other lo¬
calities it lingers, and, above all, the
coke workers’ strike blocks most of
the iron manufacturers in the central
region, less than a quarter of the coke
ovens being yet at work. It was be¬
lieved that late changes in the tariff
bill would be more satisfactory in
tho industries, but the new sched¬
ules havo not yet diminished hesita¬
tion.
“The treasury gold reserve is re¬
duced lower than it was at any time iu
January and the government proposes
to ship legal tenders to interior points
against deposits of gold in the treasury
at rates which virtually constitute a
premium on gold. The conference of
New York bankers proposing to pro¬
vide gold for export, resulted in little
practical gain, but called public atten¬
tion more distinctly to the difficulties
of the situation. Most lenders require
a stipulation of gold payment on all
time loans.
“The customs receipts for the week
have been §1,892,113, against §3,568,-
119 last year, and the internal revenue
also decreases §452,000. The market
for commercial paper is singularly
narrow, with extreme caution in the
scrutiny of names.
“It was confidently expected that
the settlement of tariff rates on textiles
by the senate would improve tho con¬
dition of textile manufactures; but
there is scarcely any evidence of such
a result yet, the large sales of cotton
being distinctly traceable to more sea¬
sonable weather and larger retail sales
and to further concessions by sellers.
The stock of unsold print cloths at
Providence, Fall River and Boston is
over a million pieces, but tli^ accumu¬
lation continues. The orders for fall
are limited and staples are irregular
in price.
“There is much disappointment that
the partial termination of the coal
striko does not promptly enlarge the
demand for iron and steel products,
which is evidently too narrow as yet to
HU pport much increase of production.
Prices are weakening. Bessemer pig
is selling at§10.90 at Pittsburg, beams
at $1.30 and angles nt§1.20. Orders
aro comparatively liberal, though much
smaller than in other years. No im¬
provement is seen in Philadelphia, while
in the central region the continuing
coke strike and grave uncertainty about
the July settlement of iron workers’
wages causes much hesitation.
“The volume of domestic trade,
measured by cleariugs, shows no im¬
portant change, though the heavy de¬
cline a year ago vitiates, compared
with that period. Compared with 1892
the decrease is 18.8 per cent, outside
of New York, and 24.3 per cent at all
points. The improvement continues
in failure returns, which show an ag¬
gregate of liabilities for the two weeks
of June, amounting to §6,520,025, of
which §2,238,906 were of manufactur¬
ing and $4,113,638 of trading concerns.
The failures during tho week are 214
in the United States, against 273 last
year, and 25 in Canada, against 14 last
year.”
CARNOT’S BODY IN PARIS.
Riots in Lyons—The Assassin Santo in
Court.
The special train conveying the body
of the late President Carnot from Lyons
to Paris, arrived in Paris early Tues¬
day morning. The casket was at once
placed in an ordinary hearse, and
driven to the Palace of the Elysee, fol¬
lowed by five carriages, containing the
widow and her sons and the members
of the president’s military household.
At a respectful distance behind the
vehicles, were thirty cabs containing
newspaper reporters, The cabinet
held a meeting in the ministry of in¬
terior to perfect arrangements for the
funeral of President Carnot, which has
been fixed for next Sunday.
RIOTING CONTINUES IN LYONS.
Late dispatches from Lyons are to
the effect that the disorders there and
at other places in France, resulting
from the indignation of the people at
the assassination of President Carnot
continues.
Crowds of rioters paraded the streets
of the city from the time the late pres¬
ident’s remains left Lyons, and, in
spite of the efforts of the police and
military, the mobs sacked Italian
stores and taverns, and after throwing
their contents into the streets, made
bon-fires of everything burnable.
carnot’s slayer in court.
Santo, the anarchist, and assassin of
President Sadi Carnot, was again
brought up in court Tuesday morning
for examination before Examining
Magistrate Renoisfc. Tho prisoner de¬
clared himself to be an anarchist, and
to be strongly in favor of the policy of
violence. Replying to a further ques¬
tion, Santo said he acted upon his own
initiative and had not been engaged in
any conspiracy to murder the presi¬
dent.
The magistrate, however, is not con¬
vinced that the prisoner had no accom¬
plices, as it has been ascertained that
when Santo stopped at Vienne and
Montpelier, he had several suspicious
conferences with persons suspected of
being in league with the anarchists.
In addition to this, when Santo arrived
at Vienne Saturday, en route to Lyons,
he slept at the house of an anarchist,
and afterwards started for Lyons at
3 :30 in the afternoon.
The police investigation into the
crime has already led to the arrest of
three persons at Vienne, who are be¬
lieved to have been engaged in the
conspiracy which resulted in the mur¬
der of President Carnot.
The authorities believe Santo wa«
the agent of the anarchists, and that
he was entrusted with the task of rnur

Which Happen From Day to Day
Throughout the Busy World.

vention, in session at Little Rock,

broke the record Sunday in running
691 miles in fifteen hours and twenty
six minutes.

Y., was nominated for governor by a
prohibition state convention held nt

A general striko has been ordered
on the Northern Pacific system by the
American Bailway Union in connection
with its boycott with Pullman ears.
The road is in the hands of tho United
States court.
A dispatch received in Philadelphia
from Florence, Italy, announces tho
death there of E. P. Fabbri, formerly
a member of all tho Drexel banking
firms. Ho retired from thePrexels in
1885. Ho is reported to have amassed
a fortune of §20,000,000.
A cable dispatch from Edinburgh,
Scotland, says : The striko of Scotch
coal miners began Tuesday morning,
60,000 men ceasing work. The striko
has also thrown 20,000 steel workers
out of employment. They aro idle on
account of a lack of fuel.
The strike at tho Soddy coal mines,
twenty miles from Chattanooga, Tenu.,
is broken. The miners returned to
work Monday afternoon at the same
old price they were getting before tho
strike occurred. They havo been on
the strike for nine weeks.
A cable dispatch from Rome says:
For the first time since the unification
of Italy by tho entrance into Rome of
Victor Emanuel and his occupation of
the Quirnal, the royal standard which
floats over that palace was placed at
half-mast, on account of the death of
Carnot. This was done by express or¬
der of King Humbert.
The 150 employes of the Pullman
shops, in Ludlow, Ivy., were called out
Monday morning by F. W. Phelan,
representing tho American Railway
Union. A strike has been threatened
for some weeks—ever since the shops
in Chicago shut down. The men de¬
mand a restoration of old wages,which
were some time ago cut from 10 to 33 s '
per cent.
A Chicago special says: Tho strikes
growing out of tho Pullman boycott
are spreading rapidly to every road
leading out of Chicago which handles
Pullman’s cars, with almost the com¬
plete tie up of tho Illinois Central.
The American Railway Union has fi¬
nally fixed a basis of dealing with tho
railroads which refuse to abrogate tho
Pullman contracts.
At the Vermont populist state conven¬
tion held at Montpelier, Tuesday, the
following ticket was nominated: Gov¬
ernor, Thomas S. McGinnis, Jericho;
lieutenant governor, Henry W. Conro,
South Hero; secretary of state, A. L.
Bowen, South Dorset; treasurer, Dr.
Walter S. Curtis, West Randolph;
auditor of accounts, Charles S. Lewis,
South Reading, The convention
adopted the Omaha platform as tho
state platform.
THE BOYCOTT GROWS.
The Railway Union Has Twenty
Roads Tied Up.
A Chicago special says: That the
greatest war ever waged between capi¬
tal and labor in the world is upon this
country as a result of the boycott of the
American Railway Union against the
transportation of the cars of the Pull¬
man Palace Car Company is the opin¬
ion of every one concerned—railway
managers and labor leaders alike.
That it will extend far beyond tho
limits of the railroads and involve all
the varied interests of the country to a
greater or less degree is the opinion of
a host of people.
The boycott has been in effect only
a few days, but in that time the Amer¬
ican Railway union has succeeded in
tying up over twenty railroads which
insisted upon handling tho Pullman
cars, and the indications are that many
more will be deserted by their em¬
ployes.
THE MANAGERS WILL FIGHT.
At a meeting Thursday of the gene¬
ral managers’ association of Chicago,
comprising the general managers of
every railroad entering Chicago, ex¬
cept the Big Four, it was agreed that
the roads would fight the boycott to a
finish. Twenty-one out of twenty-two
managers were present.
DEATH IN A STORM.
Ten People Killed and More than
Twenty Seriously Hurt.
Southwestern Minnesota and eastern
South Dakota suffered death and de¬
struction Wednesday night by a series
of wind storms. Details of the dam¬
age done to life and property, which
have been coming in slowly, show that
ten persons were killed and twenty or
thirty injured.
The storm traveled from southwest
to northwest in parallel lines, and
there were three of unusual severity.
The westernmost arose in South Da¬
kota and traversed the east end of the
state, striking Alpena, McElette, St.
Lawrence andAbedeen in the route.
Santo’s Trial Set.
The trial of Santo, the assassin ol
President Carnot, has been fixed for
July 23d.____
Jewelry in a Grave.
The largest amount of jewelry
known to be in a single grave was
buried in Greenwood Cemetery seve¬
ral years ago. The undertaker who
had charge of the funeral protested
against it, but was severely snubbed
for his interference. The family had
its way, and in that grave is buried
fully $5,000 worth of diamonds, with
which the body was decked when pre¬
pared for burial. Sometimes fami¬
lies who desire to bury their dead in
the clothing worn in life—in evening
or wedding dresses, for instance
substitute less costly imitations for
the jewelry worn in life, partly from
motives of thrift and partly from a
superstitious fear that anything
taken off a body when it is ready for
the tomb will bring ill-luck to future
wearers.—[New York Journal.
