A Man Comes to Life After He Bad Been Pronounced Dead. New York Sun. Hareisbcrg, Jane 8. Several months ago Lafayette Rennard, aged forty-nine years, an employee ot the Phcenixville Iron Works, was stricken with inflammatory rheuma tism, and in about two months his oase became complicated by an at tack of heart trouble. With both diseases he suffered severely, and gradually lost his strength. The physicians said his case was a hope less one, and on Thursday morning they Jeft him, saying that he would die that day. In the evening, while his friends were gathered around his bedside, momentarily expectingto" see him breathehjaJaifcoe gasped several timg,-uiiivered slightly, and " " ." T.;moAlf stnf an1 H7aa an parently dead. His wife notified all their friends and relatives, and pre parations were being made for the funeral. She had a lifelong feeling, however, about being buried alive, and at this time she was suspicious of a trance, though there was no evi dence about her husband that he was still alive. She. refused to allow the undertaker to put the body in ice, and averred that the burial-would not take place for a week, that she might be certain , her huBband was dead. Yesterday the family and a few friends were standing around the board on which the body of Mr. Bennard was laid, mourning over his death. They were just drying the tears from their eyes before leaving the room when suddenly one of the weeping crowd exclaimed. "Mv God 1 he's not dead. I saw him move." They all looked in surprise and watched the body closely, but no movements were noticed, and the hopes of the wife and friends were changed to despair. They were go . ing out of the room when they all heard a sound in the corner of the room where the supposed dead man waa lying, and they rushed back to find Mr. Bennard with his eyes wide open and - his arms out of the position in which they had been put. Everybody was excited, and the wife called loudly to her husband to arise, at the same time assisting him to do so. He moved, and showed signs of life, and was finally carried to a large chair. Physicians were called, but before they arrived Mr. Bennard had so far reoovered that theirjand was unnecessary. He spoke, telling his wife how he felt, and af terwards said that he had heard her mourning, and all the arrangements for his funeral, and knew all that was going on around him, but was un able to move a muscle or utter a Bound. Mr. Bennard is now in a bet ter condition than he was before the trance, and the prospects for his complete recovery are very good. The order for his coffin has been can celled. Fortnnea of Acton. Dunlap's News. A great deal has been written about the fortunes of actors and most of it has been incorrect. The following is a careful estimate of twenty-five of the richest of them, ---TaMe-byji well known actor,, a ricb man himself, and one in a position to know what he is talking about. Among the actors are but two mil lionaires,, Lotta Crabtree and Edwin ' Booth, and both of them are worth considerably more than a million each. Then follows Joseph Murphy . with about $600,000 ' and Joseph Jefferson with half a million. Mag gie Mitchell he rates at $400,000 and over, while Mary Anderson has, he says, from $250,000 to $300, 000, her foreign ventures making the estimate uncertain. Oliver Doud By . ron is put down at $300,000, Minnie. Palmer ar $275,000, J. K. Emmet at $275,000, and Stuart Bobson and W. H. Crane at a quarter of a million apiece. Annie Pixley, $200,000; Mrs. Langtry, $150,000; James O'Neill, $150,000; Denman Thompson, $150, 000; Herrmann, $125,000; old John Gilbert, $125,000; N. C. Goodwin, $100,000; Louis Aldrich, $100,000; Francis Wilson, $100,000. Emma Abbott has a fortune of $25,000, and Charles Bernard, the ex-minstrel, over half a million. Nate Salsbury has over $175,000j Fanny Davenport $100,000, and Mrs. John Drew over $100,000. Actors have no rating in the commercial agencies of the coun try, owing perhaps to the great fluc tuations, of theatrical ventures, but the - fortunes above named are all prudently invested and subject only to the same risks as those of any welUtoWlo business man.

Advance sheets of the report of Pro fessor Day, ot the United States Geo logical Survey, on the meto and min eral productions of the United States for the calendar year 1888, make a very remarkable showing. It will be remembered that for several years these annual estimates of the quanti ty and value of metal and mineral Eroduots of the United States have een regularly issued by the Govern ment Geological Survey. In the re port of 1887, Mr. Day said that nearly every mineral industry showed an in crease over previous years, and that the tremendous aggregate estimated value of mineral products for the year, $542,284,225, was the largest 'to tal ever reached by the mineral in dustries of any country. He attrib uted the immense production to ex ceptional conditions in important ln- dustries, and expressed "the opin- ion tha!th'e' aggregate shown for- the year 1887 would not Mbe equaled in 1888. The ad vance sheets of nls repon xor looa, however, show that this expectation was not confirmed, and -that the total production for the year again showed a large increase, exceeding the aggre gate for 1887 by nearly $50,000,000. The comparison of totals for a series of years,according to Geological Sur vey reports, as follows: AGGBEGATE METAL AND MINERAL PRO DUCTION OF THE UNITED STATES.

St. Paul, June 14 A dispatch from Mora, Minn., says: "The treacherous Chio pewa Indians are on the war path again, ani there are grave fears ofa general up rising. Already seven Swede laborers have been massacred, and several hundred labor- era and settlers are now hurrying here for safety. Sheriff Nicolsen rode to town yes terday and gave the alarm. He also com municated with Qov. Morriam. reauestinz him to order out the State troops to quell the uprising. The present trouble is the outgrowth of the encroachment by whites tapon the Mille Lacs reservation. Recently contract was awarded by the .settlers to Foley Brother?, of St. Paul, to dig a ditch for irrigation purposes from the Mille Lies Lake,-which is a point on Smoke river, near this place. When the Indians learned that a ditch was to be dug they came to the conclusion that the intention was to drain the latter.and de prive them of their fishing privileges Notice was served Dy me Indians upon tbe con tractors, warning them that if they did not leave the territory at once they would be put to death. The contractors gave no heed' to the warning, but came here and engaged three hundred laborers, who began wort yesterday morning at Mille. Lacs. About noon yesterday they were attacked by a party of four hundred Chippewas. led by White Snake and Great Bear. The In dians were in full war paint and armed with Winchester rifles and tomahawks. As soon aa they saw the reds coming the la. borers dropped their shovels and fled to ward this place. They were pursued by the EBV8g( s, who shot and killed seven. Several others were wounded, but not se riously. The Indians scalped two men and mutilated the bodies of two others in a fiendish manner.

By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Johnstown, June 18. The first real work under the supervision of the State commenced this morning. At 8 o'clock, the whistle at the Cambria Iron and Steel works was the signal for men to com mence, and about fifteen hundred started in with, their picks and shovels. The early morning was warm and cloudy, and the fumes and odors from the decayed bodies were something almost untearable. - As the morning advanced the weather grew warm, cr. and by 10 o'clock the sun was shining JjrifbtljvaooLeyerj one on the ground, was hard at work. "' " ""T ' During the morning a crowd of worth less loafers in some manner secured en trance to the town, and wanted to inaugu rate a strike among the workmen. Some of the laborers were already dissatisfied at hav ing new bosses over them, and only wanted a chance to complain. Jas. McKnight, of Pittsburg, of the State contractors, got wind of the trouble brewing, and went among the men and informed them tbat he would have no kicking, and that all those who wished to quit would have to do so immediately, and about one hundred of the men left. But the loafers remained around, and Mr. McKnieht went to Gen. Hastings and demanded protection for his men. A detachment of militia from the 14th regi ment were detailed to the place and drove away all men who refused to work. This caused Gen. Hastings to issue an order to the soldiers not to admit any one to Johns town proper without an order. The businees men of the town seem to have awakened to their senses, and this morning a number of them were preparing to start over again in business. Two gro cery stores were started near the Pennsyl vania Railroad freight station. Both places were doing a land office business, and this encouraged other merchants to start up. and the probabilities are that inside of a week at the latest, a hundred stores will be in operation. Already two barber shops and one jewelry store have been opened. Johnstown, June 1SL The general opin ion among well posted people here is tbat the loss of life will be between 3,000 and 4,000. It was generally given out that Johnstown and the boroughs adjoining bad a population of 85.000, but this is a very high estimate, and conservative people put the population between 25.000 and 23.000. Col. Rogers, who has charge of the registra tion, states that from all he can learn the population only amounted to about 25.000, and this accounts for the 10.000 supposed to be lost. Reports sent out from here to tbe effect that from 12,000 to 15,000 people were missing were based upon the supposi tion that there were 35,000 inhabitants in these boroughs. Reports as to the number of bodies recovered at different points along the flooded districts are very conflicting. Supposed official reports havo been sent in by different persons, and these are also coriflicting, and put the number of bodits recovered anywhere from 1,100 to 1,800 Consequently there ir no telling how many bodies have been recovered. Johhbtown. Pa, June 18. The total number of bodies recovered to-day was 18; making a grand total of bodies recovered 1999 The mass at tbe stone bridge was fired this afternoon, and to-night is burning furiously. With it is destroyed ail hope ot recovering bodies that are certainly there entombed. Nkw York. June 13 Total amount re ceived at the Mayor's office to-day for tbe Johnstown sufferers w&S $13,072; grand total to date $341,107. ThiB dispatch was received by Walter Stanton, chairman of the Transportation committee, from Gov. Beaver toda: "From my personal inspection at Johns town, a day or two since, it occurs to me that it might be well for the present to stop the shipment of supplies in kind to any of tbe points named. There are many cases of individual suffering which can only be reached-rr personal investigation. Fwdaw'rafaient, K? AT SftaWeesISfterT have been pro vided. There is no immediate bodily suffer ing. I will ask General Hastings to communicate with you in case he should be in need of anything; special which could be better supplied from Hew York than from points nearer at hind. The great problem of getting people of the Cone- mauh Valley upon their feet, so as to enable. them to help themselves, is one to which we muni turn our thought?, and to this the commission which I have just ap pointed will give their immediate alien, tion." J ohnitowit. June 14. Rin is pouring down this morning, and has tffectualiy stopped work of all kinds la this stricken city, wbete work should go ahead as rap idly as possible. Even the soldiers have sought tbe shelter of their tents- Tbe wreckage at ibe stone bridge, which was fired last night, has been dampened considerably, auii unices tbe rain stops soon that invaiusble work will also come to a stand still. Hakrisbubg. Pa . June 14. Governor Beaver has received an official report from tbe State Board of Health, in which the district fiom tbe railroad bridge over tbe Conemaugh river at Johnstown to tbe mouth of btony (Jreefe river, is declared a nuisance. The Governor now has legal machinery and a fund to apply it, and tbe work will be pushed without delay. The Governor this afternoon issued a proclama tion, in which be says among other things that there can be little doubt that the most useful aod judicious expenditure at the present moment forthe entire people of the region, would be a fucd which could be used for pulling up simple board shanties, in which business might be commenced by courageous business men of Johnstown who have signified tnevr intention of re maining where l hey are and assisting in building up the ruins which speak so elo quently rn their btbalf. In one way the rain to-day is regarded as a blessing, as the terrible stench from burning flesh which was almost unbearable last night is scarcely noticeable. A number of lumber men from the Clar ion region were engaged clearing the wreck age with their hooks last night and this morning, an 1 their work was to effective tbat another detachment has been sent for. It has been decided to tear down all unsafe buildings in town and burn the wreckage. A house to house canvass will bo inau gurated to-morrow, to secure as near as possible an accurate list of the living and dead for State officials. The system of re gistration attempted a week ago was not ef fective. A peculiar feature of the flood was that of 138 saloons in Johnstown and the surrounding towns, but two escaped de struction. Chinese lanndnea were also com pletely wiped out, and a number of China men are missing. - The rain which poured down all the morning ceased at noon, and work was proceeded with, . but only 700 workmen started in. A largo amount of lumber is arriving to-day consigned to the State. It will be distributed to the more needy mer chants to re-erect temporary structures in which to resume business. Johwstowu? Pa., June 15 Sunshine has succeeded morning showers and this is the first bright noontide Johnstown has had for a week. On tbe general principal that rain cannot fall perpetually several thous and men, who are anxious to clean up the ruined city, are hoping for fair weather from this on. The Cooemaugh is Bwollen, and its rushing current serves to remind Johnstown of tbe day preceding the flood. Tbe water is an advantage, however, as ic carries away a great portion of tho impuri ties lodged along the river banks. The engineers resorted to three hundred pound dynamite cartridges to clear up that portion of - the wreck known as the raft. This morning the first charge of that Bize frightened the town and shook houses. Half of the windows In Millvale school bouse were shattered, and in Prospect, just opposite, chimneys came rattling down upon bouse tops. The next charge was diminished somewhat. - Adjutant General Hastings was informed today that the Philadelphia delegation of Gov. Beaver's commission had started west this morning. Their mission is under" stood to be the distribution of the Govern or's million dollars. This morning the State Board of Health began a sanitary Bur veyofthe Conemaugh Valley from South Fork- to Nineveh. A complete census of families and a report of the condition of health and living will be made. t Major Phillips' dynamiters have bad Johnstown in a state of nervous terror all day, and this evening General Manager John Fulton, of the Cambria Iron Works, dictated a forcible protest to Gov. Beaver. stating that the mills and offices of the com pany were being nnnea oy me Diasts; that Adjutant General Hastings had paid no at tention to two requests for its discontinu ance, and that the" State would be held re sponsible for any -further damage done. The message was filed with instructions to wiie it as soon as anotner blast was fired. In the meantime Adjutant-General Hastings had gained communication with Major Phillips, and an order to discontinue blasting went into effect. . i - Major Phillips has been engaged since Wednesday in blowing out wreckage in the channel of . the Conemaugh above the Pennsylvania railroad stone bridge. He was anxious to have a passage for water by this evening, and to that end put in a 500 pound. blast of dynamite at noon. The blast was placed under two buildings, one of which was lyiug upon the other, and both of them covered with logs. The ex plosion was terrific and one log large enough for a mainmast, was hurled 800 feet in the ir. Tbe -xtbls. not being placed so deep, was a 400-pounder. This one did all the damage. The report was awful, and the stronges houses in the city trembled like leaves. All the glass was blown out of the windows of the Odd Fellows' Hall, which seems to have stood over a stratum of the unusual dis turbance. In the same neighborhood the rear wall of the half-wrecked Catholic Church fell upon the Baltimore & Ohio tracks, blocking them. Chimneys rattled down all about, and dishes were broken in houses in Eernville, half a mile away. Asked about the matter, Major Phillips said : " We have used only 2.000 pounds of dynamite to-day. I have ordered several tons of it. The charges will not be so heavy hereafter. I had no idea that we were do ing any damage. So far aa I know no per sona were injured." - - Soon after the last blast, which opened the channel of tbe river, the logs formed a gorge.. A gang of lumber men were put to work with cart hooks to clean the stream. A STRANGE CASE. Sensattonal Seene In Court Over m 8 nit for tbe Possession of m Cblld. By Telegraph to the Morning Btar. Cincinnati, June 15 A sensational scene was enacted this morning in . Judge Outcalt's court. He has had on hearing and under consideration for several months, an unusual habeas corpus case, where two women claim to be the mother of a child for whom the writ was issued.. Miss Kate Schwalles avered that she gave birth to an illegitimate child and placed it in the hands ef Mrs HHmser, midwife, to dispose of. and that Miss Humser placed it in the family of , W. J. White, to be adopted. Subsequently Miss Sch waller wished to re cover possession of her child and applied to Mrs. White, when that lady informed her that tbe baby she had was not an adopted child, but was her own. The tes timony before the court was most con flicting, but Mr. and Mrs. White brought many witnesses to show that the baby was theirs. They have had it in charge during the trial. Today tbe jury was to render a decision, but Mrs. White appeared in court withoht the child. When asked by the Court where -it was, Mrs. White, in a determined manner, answered, "Judge Outcalt, I was submitted to a severe ex amination the other day, and I understand you are going to decide against me in the case, and I have protected jny child, I know the consequences ana am here to abide by them, and if I have to stay in prison ten years lam satisfied, so if at toe end of that lime I ' have my dar ling " This reply of course made a sensation. Her attorney promptly disdained having advised this course ot action and asked that his client hnvo time to teflect. The court said that if Mrs. White dil not produce the child she must suffer the consequences of contempt of court, and be allowed her till neon to consider. The resolute mother for two hours was urged by her attorney and friends to produce the child, but at the end of the time she re mained firm, ead went bravely to jail under sentence ot court for contempt, in Ihe ne in time the judge withholds his de cision of the merits ofjlhe. case., x - Tutt's Fills Regulate The Bowels.

D., editor in oblef of tbe ChHttAom Sun, Is only confirmatory of similar testimonials from other reliable source8.on the samo subject. Dr. Barrett says: PANACEA WATER. There are so many "qnaok remedies" for dyspepsia, and kindred diseases, that It Is hard to get people to believe that all remedies advertised are not "quaoky" and worthless. In another column will be found tee advertisement of the Panacea Water, by Mr. John A. Williams, of Oxford, N. C. We have great confidence in Its value, especially in eases of dyspepsia. We have used it with great bene fit, and we know whereof :we speak. In a week's time its use made a decided) Improvement, and we have no hesitancy in commending It to the suffering. We also knowthat when Rev. M. L. Hurley, of Franklin, Va., had been reduced al most to a skeleton from a terrible oase of dys pepsia of several years' standing, and when the medicine of first class physicians had failed to oure, or even give much relief, he tried this water as well nigh the last hope, and to his astonishment In a few days he found great re uei. He continued its use for several weeks and he Is a well man. We write this notice of our own accord, that we may persuade the suffering to try the PANACEA WATER. For sale by J. H.

For a year I have been suffering with a form of Kidney Disease whloh my physician. Dr. J. A. HUlman, thought was Diabetes, and advised the use of Otterbum Llthlaand.Maiiiusa rfkter. The quantity of rrid passed was greatly in ex cess of i; natural secretion, and I lost forty r5us of flesh In a few months. Tbe use of the Otterburn Water corrected this exoeeslve flow entirely in six weeks, and lam again a well man. I tried many medicines without avail, and I attribute my oure of this troublesome and dangerous disease entirely to the use of the Otterburn Water. B. N. BLANTON. PERSONS OFTEN ASK "WILL IT. KEEP f Akxlia Couhtt, Va. Feb. 84, 1888. I hereby certiiy that two years ago I obtained some of the Water of the Otterburn Llthla and Magnesia Spring for my wife In a demijohn, and recently, whilst moving to another home, I found that some of the Water had been left in the demijohn. I poured It out and drank some of i and found it to be as pure andnloe as when first taken from the Spring. G. E CRADDOCK. IT CURBS RHEUMATIC GOUT. B. E. Jbitobsok, of Johnston, South Carolina, writes as f odows of It : A lady here has been entirely relieved of a severe attack of Rheumatlo Gout. She found suoh immediate relief she did not take any modlclne or any other remedy at all, and while on the sixth bottle stated that she had been entirely relieved and needed no more Water: her general health also behurgreatly Im proved. S. B. JEFFERSON. Maithboko, Va., March 17 1888. Wheal commenced tne use of the Otterburn Llthla and Magnesia Water, on tha 88th of January last, I had no faith In any mineral water. I had been suffering for over three years with a disease that was pronounced by a promi nent physician of Richmond to be an affection of the Kidneys, after making a scientific test. I had only used the Water one week when I was entirely relieved of pain, whkw before had been constant and at times acute, and I have gained nineteen pounds In flesh, with a restora t Ion of strength and energy. I gave the Water a.fair test, using no other water and taking no irediolne. H. C. GREGORY. Richmohd, Va., April 8, 1887. I have been suffering for years with a compli cation of Liver and Kidney trouble, suffering great pain In the region of the kidneys; and hav lg my attention called to the Otterburn Llthla and Magnesia Water. I commenced to use it, and never experienced suoh relief from any thing The very first half-gallon Increased the flow of urine and cleared It up. My appetite has been restored, ann I feel that I cannot commend the Water too highly. R. F. WALKER. Akexia C. H.,Va... December 15, 1886. I have been a Dyspeptlo for the past fifteen years; and lately have suffered with Derange ment of my Urinary organs, evidenced by great difficulty In voiding the urine. About six months ago I commenced the use of the Otterburn Llthla and Magnesia Springs Water, and sinoe that time there has been marked and gradual Improvement In my entire condition and state of health. My digestion is better than It has been for five or six years, and the urinary trouble is entirely relieved, and has been for the past two months. J. A. WALLACE Cashier Planters Bank of Amelia.
