that Mr. Bertling’s meat was poisoned and
it had killed this dog. Mr. Bertling went

AVe lnesday morning about thirty girls
working at the Check factory at Athens
determined to ask for more wages. They
discussed the matter among themselves and
came to the conclusion that they were r.ot
beiug paid enough for their work. They
set to work in a vigorous manner to remedy
this state of affairs by applying for more
wages, and went out of the factory with the
determination not to come back uutil
their wrongs had been righted.
They sought and obtained an
interview with R. L. Bloomfield, and
laid the facts of the case before him. Mr.
Bloomfield very candidly told them that at
prtsent he could do nothing in tho matter
of raising their wages, but that ho had no
objeotion to raising them if any opportunity
should present itself for so doing. Mr.
Bloomfield is very popular with his opera
tives, and be convinced them that he was
doing the best that ho could for them, and
that it it were in his power he would raise
their wages. So they all went buck to their
work, and the threatened strike was
averted.

THE CORPSE WINKED.
Black Beverly Erotvn, Pronounced
Dead, Surprises the Doctors.
From the New York Herald.
The corpse winked.
That is to say, that which had been de
clared a corpse winked. It was a lucky
wink, too, for it just prevented Beverly
Brown from being stretched out on a Blab
in the morgue, which would have chilled
what little life there was in him.
Now he is lying in a comfortable bed in
the warm ward of a hospital.
Beverly Brown is a negro. He surrend
ered the ghost to all appearances in the
Hudsou county jail, on Jersey City Heights,
about 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and
County Physician Converse entered the of
fice of U ndertaker Speer, the official morgue
keeper, and requested Louis Heck, who was
in charge, to transfer the body from the
jail to the dead house.
Heck and Frank Newkirk, his assistant,
drove to the jail The body, which
lying on a cot in a dark cell, wus laid in tbe
coffin-shaped box aud the wagon was quick
ly rattling over the stones to the morgue,
two miles away.
It may have been the jolting that aroused
the corpse, but when the box was dropped
in the dead house and the lid was removed
Heck and Newkirk were for a moment
paralysed. They both saw distinctly a
moving of Brown’s eyelids. The alleged
corpse continued winking. Newkirk was tbe
first to recover control of bis tongue and
exclaimed, “He’s alive!”
Heck ran for a doctor and found Dr. Ran
wick. When they returned Dr. Vreeland,
another physician, was in the undertaker’s
office, and the two medical men stepped
into the morgue to examine the body. The
negro was lifted out of the box and laid on
the floor with his head on a pillow.
ANIMATION EVIDENT.
The signs of animation were more evi
dent. The man’s shirt was opened and the
rise and fall of the chest told that tho sup
posed corpse was breathing rogyiarly. The
physicians tested the pulse and found about
05 beats to the minute. A few minutes
later the ambulance from the city hospital
arrived and Brown was removed to the
hospital. Stimulants were administered
aud the patient was very far from being u
corpse last night. His pulse was 80, respira
tion 30 aud temperature normal.
It was the hallman of the jail who dis
covered Brown’s supposed death. Brown,
who occupied a cell on the ground floor',
was lying motionloss on his cot and the in
experienced hallman could not discover a
vestige of life. He notified Assistant Jailer
Hanley of the death and liter the county
physician went to the cell, made a hasty
superficial examination aud reached the
conviction that Brown had joined the silent
majority.
HAD BEEN THOUGHT INSANE.
Brown is a waiter, 33 years old. He had
aoted queerly and bis friends, convinced
his mind was unbalanced, caused his an est
Sept. 28. Police Justice O’Donnell of Jer
sey City committed him to the county jail,
subject to the order of the county physician.
Dr. Converse prescribed for Brown, but
he obstinately refused to take medicine anti

to force it down him. He did not reject
food, hut ate sparingly. What caused
him to lapse into the deathlike ccina yester

GHOULS AFTdfP. LOWELL’S BODY.
Plans Lad to Steal the Remains of
America’s Illustrious Poet.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Cambridge, Mass., Oct. 13.—The com
munity was thrown into a state of excite
ment to-day by a rumor that au attempt
had been made to steal the body of James
Russell Lowell, which lies buried iu a re
mote spot of Mount Auburn cemetery.
A careful investigation shows that while
no actual attempt had been made to dese
crate the grave, a number of incidents have
occurred during tho past week w hich tend
to show that the roport was not without
foundation, that dehtierate plans to steai
tie body of the poet had been made.
There can be little doubt, judging from
the fact that a trio of euspioioue characters,
the object of whose visit was probably the
L iwell lot, were seen hurriedly to leave the
Oemutery at a late hour lust night. Several
men have been seen the last week loitering

a niiddlu-agvd and a younger companion
who were seen about the grave aroused the

of th“ cemetery ; wta ther the cemetery was
patrolled at night by watchmen; where tbe
tools were kept, etc.
A copy of a Boston newspaper contain
ing an account of the Lowell obsequies, and
giving the exact location of the grave, was
flicked up by an employe near the Lowell
oh A paragraph giving the location of
the grave had been carefully marked with
a pencil. There are a number of other
circums ances of a suspicious nature which
have recently occurred that helped to kesp
the officials iu a state of constant alarm, as
the cemetery is left unguarded nights.
Shortly after 11 o’clock last night a Wa
tertown farmer, driving to market through
Coolidge avenue, met a two-seated demo
crat wagon being slowly driven back and
forth in front of tbe easterly gate of the
cemetery, the onlv occupant of the vehicle
beiug a short, thick-set man, apparently of
middle age, closely muffled up in an ulster.
The collar reached nearly to tue brim of a
large, soft felt hat, which hid his features
completely from view. The farmer’s suspi
cious were aroused at the strange vehicle
and its occupant, who appeared anxiously
awaiting the return of some person or per
sons, as he occasionally cast furtive glances
in the direction of the cemetery. Several
times the farmer noticed the team brought
to a dead standstill, as if to enable tue
stranger to listen and watch more intently.
After proceeding soveral hundred yards
the market man, being of an investigating
turn of mind, dismounted at the turn of
tbe hill. Securely hiiching his horse he re
turned a short distance on foot to where the
movements of the strauger could be
watched with safety.
Stationing himself behind a telegraph
pole he patiently awaited developments. He
had not long to wait, and his vigil was re -
warded by seeing three men scale the fence
and jump’ into the team, which was hastily
driven in the direction of Watertown.
The grave of the honored poet was found
undisturbed this morning, although tho soil
io several places plainly showed the marks
of freshly-made footprints.
AN HEIR FOUND IN PRISON.
How a Jealou3 Rival Wrecked a
Southern Home.
Pittsburg, Pa , Oct. 10.—The heir to
over $1,000,000 has been found in the west
ern penitentiary in this city, and there is
brought to light a romonce in real life, the
details of which are seldom surpassed by
writers of fiction.
Early in the ’Bos an actor, whose stage
name was St. Rayn, but whose real name
was James Edwin Ryan, became strauded
with his company iu New Orleans. He had
the good fortune to rescue a wealthy Cuban,
Louis d’Amboise, and his daughter Edith,
an only child, from a deadly assault by two
villains.
In the struggle St. Rayn was severely in
jured, and the D’Amboises nursed him back
to life.
The young people fell in love; but the
father demanded that the daughter marry a
cousin, Harry Leigh. She refused.
The lovers eloped and were married, and
the father forgave them.
Bt. Rayn frequently absented himself
from home, which circumstance was taken
advantage of by tho discarded lover, Horace
Leigh, aud the latter conceived a scheme
for getting even.
Asa result D’Amboise and his daughter
were led to beliove that her young and
handsome husband was unfaithful.
A separation ensued, and D’Amboise and
his daughter, with a child that had been
born to the girl, went hack to Cuba.
Leigh was soon aftsr taken sick, and on
his death bed
HE CONFESSED HIS DECEIT.
The father and daughter also soon died,
loaviug an immense property to St. Rayn,
who, after a year’s search, was discovered
to he an inmate of the western Pennsylva
nia penitentiary, convicted of a crime that
had never been committed.
In his wanderings after his separation
from his wife, St. Rayn worked at Jean
nette, Pa, and became known to several
people there. The efforts to trace him
brought the agents of the estate in contact
with a reporter for a Pittsburg paper, who
aided them in discovering the identity of
St, Rayu, or rather Ryan.
Efforts are now on foot to have him set
free on habeas corpus proceedings. Bas
com and Lyn, of New York, have the
paoers in the case.
Your correspondent went to Riverside
penitentiary, where he found that James
Ryan, or J. Edwin Ryan, alias St. Rayn,
had been sent from Westmoreland county
about eighteen months ago for an offense
which he holds proofs, his attorneys claim,
had never been committed.
Without any prompting he told the story
of his marriage, and gave, without sugges
tions, names, dates and facts which corrob
orated the romantic story of his life and
prove him to be the heir to the D’Amboise
fortune.
Developments show that the separation
from her husband actually hastened Mrs.
St. Rayn’s demise, and it was even said
among her friends that Bhe died of a broken
heart.
T3it MOUNTAINEER'S JOKE.
An Interesting Little War Story that
Concerns a Kentucky Brigadier.
Fr ink the Chicago Times.
It has always been a question whether it
was (Jen. Basil Luke or Gen. Vincent Mar
maduke who was the victim of the Ken
tucky mountaineer’s joke during the ‘‘late
unpleasantness,” This question has been
mooted at among raconteurs as is the char
acter of the observation made by the gov
ernor of South Carolina to the governor of
North Carolina. Col. ‘".Sid” Jones of Chi
cago says he had it from a North Carolinian
who was there, that the governor of
South Carolina said to the governor of
North Carolina. ‘‘Governor, I am dry.”
Thereupon the governor of North Carolina,
with the dignity und impressiveness of a
true southern gentleman, made his histori
cal remark: “Governor, it is a lung time
between drinks.”
Col. “Sid” Jones has always maintained
that it was Gen. Basil Duke who was the
victim of the Kentuckian’s joke. At any
rate, both ho and Gen. Vincent Marmaduke
nere pompous little men, who wore their
brigadier epaulets with conspicuous vanity,
inasmuch as Gen. Basil Duke was the
-mailer of the two, probably Col. Jones is
right in selecting him as tho real subject of
he story. It was whan the guerilla Mor
gan came through Pound Gap into Ken
tucky aud seized the railroad that the
story is placed to the credit of Gen. Vincent
Marmaduke, aud it was at the close of the
war, w hen the Kentuckians in the southern
army were coming home, that it was at
tributed to Gen. Basil Duke. The lattor is
the more likely of the two, for the soldier
who would affront either of the two gen
erals before he was safely mustered out
would undoubtedly nave received summary
punishment. T;.e cars were crowded with
soldiers, the officers having a passenger
coach to themselves. Suddeuly, at the
front door appeared a lank aud ungainly
Kentucky sharpshooter, bolding in his
hand a “Long Tom” rifle with bis finger on
tho trigger.
“Beg pardon, gents,” he said, in a stento
rian voice, “I want to know if Gen. Basil
Duke is yer?”
There was no answer, and the officers
looked at on- another and at Gen. Duke,
who, it is said, turned pale, but made no
reply.
Again the voice of the stranger rang
through the cor:
“la Geu. Basil Duke yer>”
Every eye was turned upon the doughty
little general and he could stand it no
longer. He sprang to his feet aud in a
tragic but apprehensive manner thumped
himself on the breast with his clinched fist
aud said:
“Vee, sir: I am Gen. Basil Duke!”
“Well, don I be skeart, sonny; I'm jus;
goi.i’ to snap a kyap," shouted the ranger.
After a moment of iinp' uesive silence a
roar of laughter went through the car that
brought the color back to Geo. Basil Duke's
face and m.vle him champ bis teeth with
warborse rage.
