Eight Days in a Coflin.
Ai Ixl iMrdinarv Case of Resuscitation
front the Grave-
■From the Louisville Commercial:
W a few people in Louisville know
isßlliam Hancock, who has been liv
\Mlkg on Market, between Clay and
'Shelby streets, for the past fifteen
years. A reporter yesterday caught
a glimpse of Hancock, who has had a
remarkable experience, and bears a
mysterious record in the neighbor
hood in which he lives. A neighbor
who professes to know Hancock’s
history, yesterday told tiie reporter |
the following.
“Sixteen years ago Wm. Hancock
was a man of some means, living then 1
in Kansas City. He was taker, ill,
and day by day grew rapidly worse.
His ailment puzzled Lis physicians
and finally his life was despaired of,
and a few days afterwards he was
pronounced dead. An undertaker
was notified, and he prepared the
body for burial. The funeral took
place, and the body was laid in ths
receiving yault, preparatory to being
placed in the ground Eight days
afterward the undertaker and his
assistants went to the cemetery, and
while in the act of moving the coflin
to the fresh dug grave, were startled
by hearing a noise inside the coflin.
The lid was forced off, and the men
were much mystified on beholding
the blue color of the supposed corpse.
A physician was summoned and an
electric battery was put to the corpse
In a few minutes William .Hancock
was on his feet again, after having
been supposed to be dead tor eight
days.”
A remarkable particular of the
resuscitation was that Hancock always
preserved the blue color of his skin.
He was a tall, thin man, with small :
whiskers, and so blue was the skin all
over his body that it pr< seuted a pi
culjar and astonishing appearance.
He never stirred away from home ex
cept to visit a game at cards with a
few friends He moved to Louisville
shortly after his remarkable resuscita
tion, which made him the subject of
much curiosity in Kansas City.
His story has never before appear
ed in print.
“Blue Bill,” as he is called by the
few who know him, is the father-in
law of John Hemming, who was for
merly a civil engineer. Hemming
was distinguished more for bis rapidi
ty in riming through a large fortune
than anything else. At the age of
twenty-seven his father died, leaving
his only son $200,C00. Two years
afterward Hemming did not have
money enough to buy a suit of
' clothes.
Hancock lives in strict seclusion,
and rarely ever goes out now for
card-playing. He has but rarely
been seen upon the streets. He
lives with his childien, Mr. and Mis
Hemming, on Market, east of Clay.
M During the time that he lay in the
coffin he remembers nothing, and
was, so far as any signs given out,
dead. He lay ill for some time, and
■ the only medicine he used was
? mineral water of different kinds.
HYDROPHOBIA IS WILKES
Horrible Death From This Terrible Dis
ease-
Washington Chronicle: In the
K early part of January a dog which
|fe was thought to be mad passed Cap
i tain D. B Cade’s plantation and caus
Bed some excitement at the time by
Wseverely biting one of Henry Murray’s
■boys. Henry lives on Capt. Cade’s
place, and was pleased to see that the
wound which was made by the
dog, on his son’s Ups healed up
very quickly. The dog pased from
Capt. Cade’s place to the Wynn
place in Lincoln county, and bit
a fine pointer belonging to Mr.
Wiley Harrison, aud also a dog
belonging to one of the tenants
on the plantation. Both of these
were killed at once, and all thought
of danger passed off.
On last Friday, however, Henry’s
i son was attacked with slight con
; vulsions, something like hard chills,
' and Dr. R. I Walton was called in.
J The boy, who was about 15 years
i old, seemed to have fits and starts,
aud was very nervous all the
, time.
Dr’ Walton found it very difficult
to admiaiater any medicine, the
' convulsions gradually more violent,
until Sunday, when Dr. Bell, of
Elbert county, was called in to
assist.
On Sunday morning the bey told
his mother that “this is the day
for me to go mad,” and he soon be
came so violent that it was thought
best to tie him to. his bed. In the
presence of -bis grief 'stricken father
aud mother, several strong men tied
him hand and foot and securely fas
tened him to his bed-stead. He bit
and snapped at everything that camo
near him and frothed at the mouth
continually. The froth accumulated
so rapidly that it had to be removed
by a stick with a mop on the end of
it.
The convulsions rapidly grew more
violent in the afternoon, and late in
the evening the poor boy uied, after
the most intense suffering.
Banger! A neglected cold or cough may
lead to Pneumonia,Consumption or oilier fatal
disease. Strong-’s* Pectoral Pills will cure a
cold as by magic. Best thing for dyspepsia,in
digestion, sick headache as thousands testify.
Alfred Brown, colored, living on
Mr. Ed. Fulcher’s place, in Burke
county, happened to a painful ac
cident one day last week, breaking
his left arm above the elbow and cut
ting his hand severely with his ax.
He was standing on the trunk of a
tree which bad been blown down,
cutting it in two, and when the top
was cut off the weight of the dirt upon
the roots caused the released body to
snap back into its original upright
position, throwing Brown some dis
tance against a standing tree, with
the above stated results.
