Fixed Hoar of Her Death.
Miss Nannie Kyle, a handsome young
woman of Springfield township. Pa.,
handed a sealed envelope to William
Johnston, an undertaker of New Cas¬
tle, two months ago, with Instructions
that It be not opened until after her
death.
. The undertaker laughingly took the
envelope and declared that. Judging
from appearances, he would keep It a
long time. He placed the envelope in
his safe and forgot about It.
Johnston was called to the Kyle resi¬
dence last week and found Miss Kyle
dead. When the undertaker returned
to his office he opened the envelope and
found that It contained the announce¬
ment of the girl’s death, giving the day
apd hour correctly.
