Items of Interest Picked From the Wires and Boiled Down for Plaindealer Readers. For five days Mrs. J. M. Reeve, of Snccasunna, New Jersey, laid in a trance. She slept deeply, an if at rest, and never moved a muscle. The phy sicians feard she would die without re covering consciousness. For nany years past Mrs. Reeve has been subject to lapses of consciousness, but they have never lasted more than a few hoars at a time. At such times, on awakening, she toid strange tales of having been in the spirit laud and of conversing with her departed husband. It is asserted that she has foretold the deaths of vari ous persons. About a year ago she told of a vision in which she saw seven men tying dead. She was so snre that some thing dreadful was going to happen that she spread the news throughout the vil lage. Two days later the powder works blew np and seven men were killed. Last Tuesday she died and a few min utes before she died and while the fam ily were at the bedside she opened her eyes and said in a clear but faint voice: "Too long has my spirit been held in this temple of clay. Friends, loved ones, in the great beyond, there is peace aud happiness ; I am of it and I see yon all, know you all and tell you that we shall meet over there. Good-bye." Mrs. Reeve closed her eyea. Father and mother all are with me now, breathed softly for a few minutes, the respirations becoming fainter and fainter until tbey ceased altogether.

Hundreds of negroes have been brought to Greenville for safety, and the town is filled with stock taken from the plantations surrounding.

Justice Truax decided in her favor List Thursday, and she will get her quarter of the tl5,000,000 left by her father, old James Jennings McComb. In the ninth clause of the will lie de clared that if Fannie married Uerzog she was to get only $15,000 a year, and at her death only $300,000 was to go to her children. Justice Truax, in a 5,000 word opinion, settled the whole ques tion today. He says that as clause 15 of the will and 9 of the third codicil put off the final distribution of the estate nntil the termination of more than two lives, that of the youngest two children and of Ilerzog and his wife, the ninth clause is invalid. He directs that the trustees pay one-fourth of the income till the incumbrances on the Central park buildings are paid, and then to pay her one-quarter of the estate. She wins about $4,000,000. .

It was offered free of cost by the Chamber of Commerce of Tucson, and was approved by the trustees of the Carnegie Institution. It comprises some 60 acres. The building will be erected on the crest of the mountain and will be one story high, and built of adobo or of the volcanic boulders found on the mountain.

THE BURDICK MURDER. supported on each side by symbolical figures of heroic proportions. . One of the most remarkable cities in the world is Kelburg, n.ar Cracow, Pol and, for, besides being situated under ground, it is excavated entirely in rock salt. Most of the inhabitants work in the famous salt mines, and all the streets and houses are of the purest white imaginable. One of the most fa mous features of the city is the cathe dral, carved in salt and lighted by elec tricity, and when the late Cur Alexan der vibited it be was so facinated with the magnificent effect of the light upon the crystal walls that he presented the cathedial with a jeweled altar cross. Such a thing as infectious disease is un known in Kelburg; in fact, the majority of the iultabitauU die of old ago A great strike riot, accompanied by much bloodshed, has occurred at the town of Slatousk, in the Government of . Oofa, among the Ural Mountains, Rus sia. Twenty-eight persons were killed and 58 wounded. Slitousk (also spelled Slatoust) is the town of a mining district, and is the center of the Southern Impe rial mines. It has ironworks and an ex tensive manufactory of damasked scimi tars and articles of inl id and embossed steel. Slatousk has an altitude of 1343 feet, and contains a population of about 21,000 souls.

Sir Thomas is determined to lift the cup and it seems from all reports that Sham rock HI will be able to do it if anything with sails can. Recent Developements Prove In tensljr Sensational. Two weeks ago the Plaisdealeb gave an account of the famous Burdick mur der at Buffalo, N. Y. Since the report was published, and on Monday of this week, it was published that Burdick who has posed m a model husband and- father was the victim of a conspiracy in which 1 Pennell was the chief actor. It seems that Pennell wanted Burdick lo suppress in the'divorce case, the fact that he had been intimate with Mrs. Burdick. To bring leverage to bear on Burdick the most beautiful young woman in Buffalo was paid to act a part in the fa: ee comedy which turnel to tragedy. The whole wretched business is gummed op in the following telegraphic report published last Tuesday rooming which says: "Developments more sensational even than the murder of Edwin L. Burdick and the subsequent automobile tragedy of the Pennetlacame out on Saturday in the investigation of the mystery. They tend to establish a plot so intricate that nobody at this hour can say how far its manifold ramifications extend. Four arrests may be made at any mo ment, and it is believed by the tew in possession of the inner facta that one of the prisoners will be a woman younger than Gertrude Barnard Paine and Mrs. Warren, whom Bardic k admired so ardently. "The lovelist woman in BufLdo," is the description given by those who have seen the girl. 'Yes, and the wicked est," they add, as they revert to the part she is alleged to have played in the finalwreckage of Burdick 's home, and, though unintentionally, in the brutal termination of his life. For, they say, this graceful, magnetic young woman was in the smoking room of the luxurious house at No. 101 Ash land evenuc, when the midnight mar derer dashed out the merchant's brains. They iniimate she wss nei ly Pennell as a lore for the procurement of evidence that should drier Burdick from prv.-in; the divorce suit in whk-h the languish ing lawyer was co-respondent. fche was in the city solely to entice lam into some situation that could be distorted to a comprooming aspect, and, while the murder was not premeditated, the butchery of her victim and the long days following the discovery of the crime through which innocent women were believed to be in peril of their lives. troubled her little. Pennell, this nv est Hory gne, brought two private sleuths to Bnffalo front Canada to trail Burdick. His imreunity stopped there, it is sail, for the sug jeftion Ui employ pettkuatnl demr came Invn a man who still roams freely in Bu:T!o, but who probably w ill find his liberty restricted by four unsympa thetic walls within a few hoc. in. The auxiliary plotter, it is asserted, told the lawyer Bnrdick's life was so dear it was hopeless to seek evidence in inordinary way. In other words, since a compro mising position was wafted, it must be created. Pennell, they say, approved the idea and immediately opened negotiation with the girl he intended making "the woman in the case," who had been re commended especially by the man who suggested tlte artificer. She came to Buffalo abont the time Mrs. Burdick left home, or soon after. Persons k now n to both'incn made her scqnainted with Burdick, and soon the hail achieved a degrre of friendliness that made it easy for her to see him every day. From that time on the progress ot the alleged conspiracy as facilitated by many inci dents chiefly by the victim's lack of suspicion in that particular direction. It is said the girl arranged to go to Burdick's "den" on the night, or rather morning, ot the crime. He expected her and admitted her so quickly she had no difficulty in leaving the door open. One, if not both, of the sleuths said to have been employed br Pennell, it is argued, gained entrance by the door she purposely bad neglected to fasten and followed her to the "den." The theory is that Burdick resented furiously the intrusion of the man or men and possibly becama so violent in his anger that one of the private detec tives struck him more forcibly than in tended, and before the enormity of the act dawned upon those in the room the merchant was dead.
