* THE DEAD ALIVE. Hundreds of stories are related of the horrible deeds of the body-snatch-er, but among them all none is more remarkable and soul-harrowing than the one just about to be narrated. The facts were given to the writer recently, and it is believed that they are now published for the first time. - In the town of Kilmare, in the north of Ireland, reside many families of distinction. The head of one of these was a Mr. Bell, a young gentleman of twenty-five. He inherited a large ¢3tate from his uncle, and soon afterward removeéd from his former abode to take possession of the family mansion in Kilmare. He married the only child of a wealthy East India merchant residing in Liverpool, by whom he had two children.’ In the fourth year of their wedded life Mrs. Bell was taken suddenly ill, and expired the next day. The symptoms were of a peculiar nature, and the limbs so increased in size immediately after death that a maguificent diamond ring of great value could not be removed from the lady’s finger, and was buried with her. Of course, this fact was ‘well known to the inhabitants of Kilmare, as Mrs. Bell was the wife of the most considerable man thereabout, and naturally, therefore, all concerning her was matter of conversation and rumor. - e The old churchyard of KXilmare stood on the side of a hill, and immediately in the rear of the church and adjoining the chancel was the tomb of the Bell family. Here, in accordance with immemorial usage, the body of the deceased lady was to repose, and there it was deposited on the third day after her demise. After the ceremony the key of the vault was put in its usual place by thesexton in the vestry of the church. The day bad been gloomy, and’ as night drew on' a thin rain fell, which increased at about midnight to asmart shower. Mr. Bell, who was about retiring, went' to an open window, and as he did so, fancied he saw a white figure crossing thelawn in front of the house. = The next moment it disappeared, and satisfying himself that he was the subject of a delusion, he commenced to undress. Suddenly the clear tones of the door-bell rang through the building. Mr. Bell paused and moved toward the door of the apartmert to listen. In a few seconds the sounds again reverberated through the house, and Mr. Bell opened the door and stepped out into the corridor. At that moment,2s he glanced down the.stairway, he saw the housekeeper moving toward the front door. Thaocn he heard her set the small lJamp she carried on the table, and open the lock and bolts of the massiye door. Then a dreadful and prolonged shriek followed, and at thesame moment Mr. Bell’s butler ran alongdhe hall toward the.front door. Mr. Bell had reached the head of the stairs and was in the act of descending when the butler reached’the spot where the housekeeper lay on the floor apparently in a swoon. What was Mr. Bell’s surprise to see the butler.raise his hands, fix his gaze upon the door, and then sink to the floor as though struck dead. Utterly bewildered and confounded Mr. Bell hastened down stairs. The sight that met his gaze when he reached the center of the hall almost froze his blood; There stood the figure of his wife in her grave clothes, leaning against the pillar of the door, with one hand thrown across her breast. For a moment Mr. Bell was almost overcome. Then he remembered the whits figure which he Baw crossing thelawn a few seconds before the bell rang, and another glance showed him that the garments of the figure betore him were dripping with rain. i “Julia, my darling, my wife!”: Mr. Bell exclaimed, and stepped toward the figure. . - It made a 'movement toward him, and the next instant it was enfolded in his arms. The scene that ensued baffles all description. It was indeed the wife -but that day buried,who was restored to the arms of a bereaved husband and children. The explanation which she offered was very imperfect and unsatisfactory. ¥or a ghort time after her supposed death she was aware of all that went on aronnd her, but before she was placed in the coffin she lost all consciousness. She said that the first' sensation of consciousness she had was one of pain. Then she saw an indistinct glimmer, and finally a severe pang shotthrough her frame. - With a powerful effort she rose and saw a woman standing by her side. The woman shrieked and fled, and then Mrs. Bell discovered that she was lying in g coffin in the family vault. ' Fresh gtrength came ‘to her every moment, and releasing herself from: the shroud, she stepped to the ground and passed out ot the vault, the door of which was wide open. Down the churchyard path she passed to the main street, along which she walked for half a mile, until she reached her late home. Fortunately the large gate to the park was unfas‘tened, and ‘she hasténed up the roadway .to the dwelling. The rest' the reader knows. . She. rap,igly' regained her lost heallh, and lived to a good old age. . et
.But who was'the woman who stood by the side of the. coffin, when the corpse sudden}y arose and startled her into sudden flight? : ' ‘Next day the lamp was found extinguished on the floor of the vault. It was identified as one which usually stood in the vestry and was used by the sexton. Ithad doubtless been removed at the same timie when the key of the vault was'taken. Beyond that all was mystery. i , The object of the 'woman, however, was easily, discovered. As already stated, Mrs. Bell was buried .with a valuable diamond ring on her finger. The design of the woman was to'steal this from the supposed corpse. Finding it impossible ‘to remove it, the daring thief had raised the hand of the dead woman to her mouth, andin her attempt to withdraw the ring with sher teeth caused the pang which went through the frame of the evident victim of a trance, and aroused her tp consciousness, On the finger just below the ring, the marks of teeth were distinctly visible for sev- | eral days after Mrs. Bell’s resuscitafion.. .. & ; it ok . Every effort was made to keep this | remarkable circumstance a secret | from the gossip of the neighborhood; ‘nevertheless, every exertion waa uged ;qflefily;po ascertain who the robber of | the tomb was. The zg.ner&l impres- | sion was that the garb of a female | was assumed as a disguise, and that ‘the depredator was in reality a man, ;.‘%g‘gwgggk@m & professional bodyi SRRV g p bR e ‘. ¥ | Tt was thought that the remarkable | circumstances attending Mrs. Bell's supposed death had aroused the de-
) %@tmme medical expert to possess | the body for the purpose of an autop- | 8Y; that he had employed a person to Bteal it, and that the body-snatecher, | discovering the valuable jewel, had | resolved 'to gain possession of it for | Bimself. - ; { © Soon after this extraordinary ocecurrence the Vicar of the Parish resigned his living and removed his family o England. Several years passed way, and the incidents herein regorded were almost forgotton. Mrs. ‘Bell’s father died, and Mr. Bell: and his family quitted Kilmare and took ip their residence ‘at Toéxteth, near Liverpool. e : -+ And now for the sequel. |~ During the Charlist riots in 1840 James Binns was arrested for murder amd lodged in Lancaster jail. He was tried, convicted and sentenced to be hanged. Before the last sentence of the law was executed he made a ton‘%ession of many crimes, and, among | the rest of his exploits, as a profesgional body-siatcher, in which Busi##ss he had been engaged for many years. The following facts are taken from his confession: = - A In: July, 1820, he was living in Belfast, having fled from En%gnd to escape punishment for his offenses. He had done several small jobs in Belfast for the doctors, and on the night of July 20th, in the year named, a wellXnown physician of Belfast sent for 'him and told him that he had a very delicate piece of work for him to perform. A Mrs. Bell, a lady of great beauty, and the wife of a rich proprietor, had just died of a very peculiar disease,;and the doctor and his associates desired the body to investigate the cause of death. The doctors paid him so much money down and dispatched bhim to Kilmare with such instructions as were necessary. Ie was to secure the corpse, and a coach would be ready at the churchyard gate in which there would be two assist: ants who would beready to assist him at a given signal.. He wenf to Kilmare on the day of the funeral, at which he was present. He examined the lock on the door of the vault, dnd was satisfied that he ‘eould easily remove it. At midnight he went to tha churchyard armed with a wrench, a pair of shears, and a picklock. First 'satistying himself that the coach was in waiting, he entered the graveyard and proceeded to the vault. The night was dark.and rdin was falling. To his surprise, he saw.that the:door was open and a faint light burning inside.. Stealthily drawing near, he glanced in. MHe saw the coffin lying along the marble slab and in front of it a woman was standing. . A second | glance showed him that a woman was ‘ at work trying fo remova a ring from ‘ the finger of the.dead. ‘A sudden ‘ ‘ thought struch him and, slouching 'down, he reached in at the door and ‘with his shears, which he had brought to rid the eorpse of its cumbersome shroud, he cut a piece from the skirb -of the woman’s dress and retired unobserved. As he remained for an instant peering into_ the strange scene, to his horror and astonishment hesaw | the corpse arise and raise the hand which the woman was apparently in ‘the act of putting to her mouth. The woman gave a shriek, rushed through the door and fled, leaving the lamp burning on the floor. Thebody-snatch-er guessed at once the woman’s design, and, impressed with the convietion that she was a person above the ’ordinary rank, he resolved to follow 'and see where she went to. He had lno diffieulty in tracking the rapidly retréating figure. It passed out.ofthe churchyard at a small wicket on the north side of the church and entered the parsonage. Satisfied that he possessed an important secret, out of which he could make‘rroney, he returned to the vault. : The light was still burning and he signalled the men in waiting. They were soon on the spot, -but on entering the vault they discovered, to their amazement, that the coffin was empty. The bodysnatcher kept his secret, and the mysterious disappearance of/the body was a matter of unmixed surprise. Extinguishing the lamp, the men quit the churchyard, the body-snatcher returning to his quartei3 at a small inn and the asgistarts going back to Belfast in the carriage. , The next morning the news of Mrs. -Bell’s restoration to life was abroad in the town. The body-snatcher lingered in the neighborhood until he .ascertained that the clergyman had quitted home for a friend’s house. Then he called at the parsonage.and asked for the lady of the house. It was with some difficulty that he obtained an interview, as the domestics informed him that the lady was. ixgisposed and confined to her room. *My business,” he said, “is of great importance, and it is absolutely necessary that I should ‘see her.”” | After the lapse of half an hour a middle aged, handsome, stately lady entered the ' parlor, and gazing with _considerable dignity at her visi#®r, she gadki aig
“What is your: business ‘with mae, | gir ?” : iy | “Let me shut the door, ma’am,” hel gaid, and, quickly stepping behind the lady, cloged the .door. “I think we. have metbefore, ma’am,” he said,in a firm but respectful tone. ' - : “Sir 2" the lady exclaimed in offended accents. “T am sure we have met before,” he said. : “You are mistaken, sir,” the lady replied, “utterly mistaken; yvou will' oblige .me by quitting the house imdiately.” ; : - _ “You forgot last night, 'ma’am, in thé vault,” the man said in a verylow tone. i’ e ok - The cheek of the lady evidently. blanched, and she gave a gasp for breath. - Instantly recovering herself she said ; ‘ e “I cannof reall_\ll understand you, sir. You are certainly laboring under a mistake”” ’ “Well, I may be,” the man replied; “that’s a fact; but my impression was that I saw you last night in the vault when you were trying to remove the ring from the finger of what you supposed to be a corpse.” : ' ' The lady had sunk into a chair, and - was deadly pale. By a powerrul effort -she overcame - hier momentary | weakness, and said in strong tones: “I do not know, sir, what you speak of. You are either mistaken or you are a lunatic, e “Do you 'ha'yp’en to have a dresslike this, ma’am ?” the man asked, drawing from his pocket the piece which he ‘had cut from the dress of the occupant of the vault the night before.

~ “How much do you require?” the lady asked, acquiring the power of speech by a great effort. : “Twenty pounds down will satisfy me for the present,” the man said, “and more at another time when I need it.”
Fhe money was paid, and within a month the man returned and demanded more, The lady evidently revealed the story of her disgrace-and crime to her husband, for he paid the money, and soon after resigned his living and retired to England. i This part of the condemned man’s confession was made known to Mr. Bell. All the parties to this strange transaction are not yet dead, and hence the names used here are fictitious. The writer’s informant, however, vouched for the truth of the story, and there is no reason to doubt his veracity. —Chicago Imter-Ocean.
Somewhat Alarmed.
‘* The Jewish Advance of Chicago deplores the tendency to marriages between Jews-and-Ghristians; which it declares to be alarmingly on the increase, both in Europe and the United States. In the Prussian province of Posen official statistics show 262 such marriages to have taken place in a single year, and similar reports are received from England, France, and elsewhere. The result of these marriages is usually that the offspring fall off into the faith of the Christian parent. Such has been the case with the descendants of Meyerbegr, Offenbach, and others, and with the grandehildren of Adolph Bremietix, the famous French lawyer and statesman, who is now President of the Alliance Israelits Universal, but whose children: have married out of the Jewish faith. Such will also be the case with the children of Hannah de Rothsechild, the wife of Lord Rosebery. “And thus,” says the Advance, “is the old fable verified once more, In the rays of the sun of freedom the wandering Jew loosens the Jewish cloak into which he had wrapped himself so closely while the storms of former ages were raging around him, and with uneoncern throws it ‘aside.: It would be criminal neglect were we to take no notice of these disintegrating forces working within modern Israel and threatening its dissolution. Here is work for ye, ye Jewish ‘councils’ and Jewish ‘conferences!” Think of measures that will help to retain in our commaunity the offspring of such unions.” ; e i
More About the Trade Dollar.
Speaking of the trade dollar,a Washington telegram to the N. Y. T%imes conveys the tollowing interesting information:
1t is the opinion of prominent treasury officials that, if the question is tested before the courts, the government will be compelled to redeem all those trade dollars coined before the passage of the law of July 22nd, 1876, when the trade dollar was divested of that legal tender quality which it had possessed, in sums not exceeding $5, from the time it was first coined, In 1873, butas it will ble impossible to ascertain whattrade dellars were coined before and what were coined after the law of 1876 was passed,it is tho’t at the treasury that thé best way out the dilemma will be to redeem those coins at par and retire them from ecirculation. Itis probable that Secretary Sherman will make arecommendation to thateffect in his annual report to Congress. A strong pressure will doubtless be brought to bear on Congress to-induce that body either to redeem these dollars or to place them upon an equality with the new silver dollar. The vast interests affected by whatever aetion Congress may take in the premises will be fully appreciated when it is stated that the total amount of trade dollars coined-and now in circulation here and abroad is $35,959,360.

A GAME OF HAZZARD.
Played by George, a Bankerof Sweet Auburn, Loveliest Village ot Indiana. =
He is Arrested in Chicago. '~ .{Chicago Times.} .. .
The people of Auburn, Ind,, are in a stew, and the man who put them there, George Hazzard, is in the lockup in Chicago. The Auburn folksare stewing for about $20,000 or $25,000, the loss of which they claim is due to the oily manipulations of George Hazzard. e R o
Three years and a half ago Hazzard went to their town and started the First National Bank, representing his amount of stock to be $32,000. His brother was made cashier of the institution and George wasthe outside manipulator. - The Auburn people have, it is said, discovered that the bank has been running for the past year without any of Hazzard’s capital. The long and short of the story is that Hazz&rg made too many deals for himself and thereby accumulated a lot of bad securities. For instance, he would take a note of $5,000 to a citizen and make certain representations whereby he (Hazzard) was enabled to realize $l,OOO cash on the same. He played this on different. citizens until he had got about $26,000 and the bad paper was Fanl s wi
. THROWN BACK INTO THE BANK. The directors of the bank appointed a new cashier from - whom, all these things were ascertained. 'He made one man duplicate his note for $l,OOO, and the man never knewlit until he found two notes against him in the bank. When Ilazzard was detected in his work he went to Nebraska, and got a man named Alexander Strother to come to Auburn-and put $lO,OOO into the bank. .Or at least’ Hazzard made them believe that he did. Then he made a proposition to pay up 20 per cent. of the notas. and it is said that he did pay back $6,000. - On the the other funds he had accumulated he went to Buffalo, Toledo, New York and Philadelphia, and on credit of the bank he bought various bills of goods. Some of these were stopped in transit and sent back, while others were shipped to Newcastle, Ind., where Hazzard formerly lived, and from there to Indianapolis.

Some of these goods actually went to satisfy judgments, but the bulk of them were smuggled out to Sidney, la., so it is said, where it now turnsout Hazzard was preparing to skip to. Hazzard also. made some purchases from gseveral Chicago firms, that of Field, Leiter & Co. being the heaviest loser, the amount being -about $9OO. The people of Auburn soon began to be suspicious of Hazzard’s promises, and on Monday a week ago they tracked him to Indianapolis ‘and there learned that -he had directed his mail to be sent t 6 Chicago in care of the Matteson *House. %laz’_zard‘ arrived here on the morning train, in company with J. N. Thornton, who is understood to be the friend of Strother, and they registered S . : AT THE MATTESON HOUSE. Last night Sheriff John C. Somniers and S. C. Swineford, proprietor of the Auburn House, and also one of the stockholders of the bank, came in. Swineford is a victim to the amount of $l,OOO, bnt he represents the other vietims. They went to-headquarters and saw Supt. Seavy, who detailed Detective Jay Scott to assist them. They went tothe Matteson House and found Hazzard, whom they put under arrest and locked up in the . ‘ . CENTRAL STATION. Hazzard is a man 34 _years of age, is married, and has a family, all of whom he sent to Sidney, la., last week. He has been in the habit of visiting Chicago on an average of once a month for the past year. He would make nostatement to-the 7'smes reporter, who vigited him at midnight. A requisition is expected this morning, when he will be taken back to Auburn. - ° .

Jewish Intermarriages.
‘The question .of intermarriage between Jews and Christians has attain- - ed the greatest prominence thus far in ‘Australia, there being two Jewish congregations in Milbourne that have come to an open rupture about it. Among the immigrants that flocked ‘to Australia after the gold discoveries of ‘1857 were many Israelites, who. were compelled to marry Christians owing to the scarcity of those of their own faith, A large proportion of these wives afterward embraced Judaism. The scarcity of Jewish girls has long ceased, but' marriages of Jews - and Christians are still as frequent as - ever,. To discourage the practice, one of the Melbourne congregations recently resolved no longer to receiveas ' gonverts to Judaism Christian women who had married Israelites or were contemplating such marriages. The other congregation, however, refused - to take -similar action, and its Rabbi even preached a sermon in opposition to sych a step, that was published in full in all the Australian newspapers, ‘and-created endless excitement, “This was followed by'a bold letter in‘one ‘of the newspapers from an Israelite:: ‘of Milbourne, which hailed with joy the new era in which the barriers between Jew and Christian were to be broken down. The Rabbi of the more orthodox congregation replied in vigorous terms to this correspondent, and -was himself answered by others who found the Ausiralian newspaper press .glad to lend their columns to the controversy. i - . : .
