The coroner's jury investigating the
death of Mrs. George Bryson , tin ac
count of which appeared in yesterday's
BIKresumed the talcing of testimony
yesterday morning in the olllco of the
county attorney at the court bouse.
The verdict dually agreed upon was to
the effect that the deceased came to her
death from Injuries received by being
run over by a backing train on the Chicago
cage , Burlington & Quincy rallroadaud
the jury further found that the Chicago
cage , Burlington & Quiney railroad was
negligent in not taking duo precaution
to have a man at the rear of the train.
The investigation developed the fact
that there is quite a thoroughfare ,
though not a public one , across the " ( j"
yards , and it was learned that about a
week ago an accident similar to that of
Monday was barely averted. Two
women were walking along thotrauk
and a train was backing up to the yards.
The rear brake man was at his post. Ho
called to tlio women , but they did not
hi'om to hoar. lie applied the airbrake
and just about that time Iho women
noticed the approaching train. They
attempted to get out of the wav , but
scorned badly frightened and fell , one
across each rail. When the train came
lo n standstill , tliny wore beneath the
bumpers. Had the train gone three
feet farther , they would have been
crushed beneath the wheels. Had the
brakeman been away from his post the
air would not have been applied until
too late , and two more lives would have
been sncrillced. The testimony intro
duced nt the inquest all tended to
htrengthon the impression that Mrs.
Bryson would have escaped if tbe
brakeman had been at his place on the
rear platform instead of inside the car.

rated , and the booths and art gallery
were very atlrnctlvo.
The supper served by the lady friends

HAPPY AU iV MARIA.

Stolen OiirniK tlio War.
Maria Rivers , an old colored woman ,
is to-day the happiest person In Macou ,
telegraphs n correspondent of the St.
Louis Post-Dispatch. At the close of
the war she found herself with two
children to care for , her husband hav
ing died during the war. Scarcely had
she started at work for herself when
one day ono of her children , a girl of
eight years , was carried olt from homo
while she was away. A year later the
other child , a twolvoiyear-old boy , was
carried oil in a similar manner. Her
children taken from her. the old woman
moved from place to place and finally
can.e to Mtu-on , where she was engaged
as a cook in a prominent family. About
ten months 1150 Aunt Maria , as sl'e ' was
called , made a wonderful discovery. It
was nothing else but the recovery of her
girl , who had been taken from her
twenty-three years before. Certain
marks upon the girl's shoulder made
the identification complete , and the old
woman passed many happy days. Aunt
Maria moved to her daughter's house
and their reigned supreme until yester
day , when she was completely unset by
a second discovery. It was this time
the boy who had been carried away
years ago. It was about noon when a
largo iiiile-boiliud man walked up to the
old woman's door and asked for Maria
Rivers.
"Hero I is , " said Aunt Maria , and
with a hobble .sho came to the door to
greet the stranger.
"Well , my name is Joe Webb , and
from accounts I learn you are my
niothsr , " said the man. There was a
scone. The n egress fell upon her son's
neck and wept for joy. The boy had
been west in mining camps and , finally
returning to Macon , found an old man
who Knew his mother and directed him
how to find the old woman. Joe has
biivcd up a neat sum of money , and will
hereafter take care of bis mother.
Sensations of Drowning.
London Tid-Bits : A collodion of the
sensations attending death by all
natural and unnatural means , narrated
by those who have made a 'runaway
knock at death's door , " would bo a work
of surpassing interest , if not tbe most
fascinating book in the English lan
guage , and would doubtless have the ef
fect of dispelling many erroneous ideas
which arc generally entertained with
regard to the feelings of tlio dying.
.lu-st before death takes place , in the
majority of cases , there are obviously
solisations of which we have , and of
which we never shall have , any record
but when a person becomes insensible
by drowning , hanging or any means of
a like nature , and is subsequently rcsus
citated , the case is altogether different
In such cases it is possible to precisely
understand what the sensations ot the
dying arc.
Some years ago , with one or two com
panions , I was standing close to the
edge of pome part of the docks at South-
hnmpton ; ihe exact situation I do not
remember. The day was a public holi
day and most of the vessels around us
were gayly decorated with Hags and
bunting. Wo were admiring the Hags
of different nationalities , when sud
denly one of my companions directed
my attention to the" bright copper ,
visible lo tbo extent of about a foot ou
the side of a vessel lying to the left of
whcro wo were standing. To see it 1
got nearer the side of the dock. Sud
denly my foot slipped and I fell head
foremost into the watpr below.
I heard my companions , who like my
self , could not swim , cry loudly as 1
sank beneath the water , and that cry
was the only human cry I heard for
sometime ! . How deeply 1 sank I know
not. but ! remained perfectly calm , and
so far from thinking I should bo
drowned , I am confident that my
thoughts were never more remotely as
sociated with death. All around me
thorejjsecined one vast field of green ,
and as I partly turned over to ascend
to the surface 1 plainly saw the gleam
of the copper on the vessel
near the quay. Gradually the green
grow lighter and lighter until it scorned
more liUo a delicious blue. Then I was
at the surface. I threw out my arms
'
and essayed to float , but I could'not get
my head out of the water , or rather I
could not rise above my nostrils , and so
I quickly sank again.
When going under for a second time ,
I suddenly became drowsy and coincidently -
dontly there Hashed through my mind
a series of visions or mental pictures
( I can call them nothing else ) of such
intensity and rapidity of transition that
I have since thought those produced by
opium hasheesh must bo trilling in com
parison. The leading events of my life
came before me like a panorama , in ex
actly Iho order in which I hey bad oc
curred ; nurses , school-boys , friends , ro-
lalivcs and paronls , all whom I held
dear. Hashing through my memory ,
and I recalled a kind word or deed and
associated it with each. Then as the
drowsiness grow more intense , the
awful thought presented itself that I
had bidden them a lasl farewell , or
ralher that I should never see thorn
again. Still I had no fear ; my mind
was quite calm , and not an unpleasant
thought obtruded itself upon my con
sciousness.
Whether I rose to the surface for the
third time , I can not bay. By this time
Iho feeling of drowsiness had become
almost Irresistible ; there was a noise in
my oars just us if two immense trumpets
were being blown into them ; and
iilthough I was conscious that I was
Btill in the water , u number of incon
gruous images floated through my mind ,
und somewhat confused my senses , 1
was like a person in a transition stale
bolwoen sleeping and waking.
All Ibis time there had boon spread
before me ono vast , illimitable field of
Ureon , lightening hero and tbero as if
in April sun were shining down upon
it through rifts in the clouds. As Iho
strangling sensation grew upon mo it
joctune lighter , then turned browner
ind browner , like a grain ripening un-
lor the powerful blaze of an August
HID , until at length it seemed as if I
, voro hanging in space and surveying a
joundloss expanse of golden grain ,
ivlthout a single tree or shrub to re-
love it. - T4
Then a sounJ stole upon mo like the
jonlle "bwltch" of a Jthousand scythes ;
ho grain turned duller , and gradually
jlack ; Iho drowslnossv.whlcli had boon
ilowly overpowering mo , became Insup-
lorlablo ; and when I became conscious
I was being rubbed down by two sailors ,
uid my companions were around mo.
: do n6t know how long I was in the
valor ; the fact that interested mo ,
vhon I was in a position to make in
quiries on the point , was that I was

A PALACE FOR' THEIR DEAD ,
The Princely Mausoleum of the
Goulds tit Woodlnwn.
GRAND IN ITS SIMPLICITY
The Millionaire's Wife Selected the
Cor the Massive Tomb In
Which liftIteinalns
Now UCBI.
A Knnilly Parthenon.
The body of his wife was the first tc
bo laid away In the magnificent torn !
built by Jay Gould in Woodlawn. Yours
ago , says a New York dispatch to tht
Globe-Democrat , Mr. Gould used to own
a plot in the cemetery near the big
gale which confront ! ) people only ,11
little way from the railroad station. He
became dissatisfied with the location ,
and , ono day while driving in the cem
etery , fixed his eyes upon a plot which
is undoubtedly the finest location for
the tomb he afterwards built that could
have been secured. It is a circular ,
gently sloping mound , covering an acre
of ground , in the center of the cemetery
on the high dividing ridge which runt
diagonally across from the southeast to
the northwest. The plot and the ad
joining territory are known generally
as the "Lukoviow plot , " from tbe fact
that they overlook Woodlawn lake. Mr.
Gould's tomb is built upon tbe highest
ground in the cemeteryHidnoy Dillon's
plot , adjoining , being one foot lower.
The acre cost Mr. Gould $ -50,000 , and
ho turned over to the come lory author
ities the old lot , which had been en
tirely unused. It was Mrs. Gould who
wanted the mausoleum built , and the
cemetery people who suggested the idea
of its being something after the style of
the old Parthenon.
"I wtinllhi * done , " said Mrs. Gould ,
us she stood upon the site which ban
been selected as the now family burial
plot. Mr. Gould cheerfully assented ,
as was his way in all things in which
his wife was intoresled. Mr. Uould
made only three stipulations about the
constt'uction ' of the mausoleum : First ,
that it should bo built as strongly and
as massively as possible ; second , that
it should not bo pretentiously large ;
third , that as great bimplicitv as possi
ble in the construction bo observed. It
was upon the last point that Mr. Gould
laid most stress. The mausoleum ii ,
technically speaking , a Greek hexas-
tylo , peripteral temple , having six
columns in front , and eleven columnsai
each side in single rows , the corner col
minis being counted Iwice. It is ncarci
like the old temple of Theseus at
Athens than any other now extant. Ii
all its proportions and parts of frio/o
and cornice , architrave and entabla
ture , cntnilb and bkylobnlc , tbe oh
classical measures as they have bcei
handed down , have been rigidly fol
lowed.
The temnlc is built throughout p
Westerly ( Rhode Island ) granite. It is
U2 foot wide , IU > feet long , and 120 fee
high to the apex of tbe roof. The col
umns are 10 fcctfi inches high-and 1 !
inches in diameter at the widest part ,
having the slight swell of tin
Ionic order. ' The rows o
steps , runnintr > all around , lead
up to the tern pip and form the
exterior of its base. Between tbe rows
of columns and the walls of the temple
proper is a considerable space. The
columns and the walls are alike unorna-
nicnted. The temple fronts the south ,
and before the doorway tbe columns
part , or there is : i gap , apparently left
by taking out the center column. In
the doorway are two doors of bron/.o
opening inward. They are 8 feet
high and 2 feet wide , and weigh a ton
each. The lower part of the doors IK ol
solid bronze panelled , and each part is
ornamented on the outside with a'drag-
on's head and a big iron ring swinging
in tbo mouth of each dragon. Tht
upper part of the doors is a fret-work ol
cherubs and vinos. The open spaces in
the fret-work are largo , comparatively ,
and through these n perfect view of the
interior crvpt can bo obtained.
Tlio inlerior is 20 feel long ,
7 feet wide and 13 feet high.
The roof of it is ono solid slab of gran
ite , which weighs six tons. The coiling
border is panelled with Ogg-and-dart
molding. The lloor is ono plain slab of
marble. Along the sides of the interior
are the catacombs. There are twenty ,
ten on each bide , in four rows of live
each , the rows on eacli side being sepa
rated in Ihe middle by a granilo slab.
Tho"catacoms are each seven feet
six inches long and two feet six
inches wide , and the catacomb
walls from the inside of the
catacomb to Iho outside of the mauso
leum are eighteen inches thick. These
walls are granite , of course , but the
inner walls , those facing the inlorior
of the crypt , are of light pink and
cream-colored Tennessee marblehighly
polished , so that the interior ot the
mausoleum has a warm tint. These in
terior walls are , in fact , simple slabs of
marble closely fitting into the openings
of the catacombs , and capable of being
removed so us to allow the collln to bo
sol in or withdrawn. Upon the front ,
and at the end of each slab , are bronze
rings filled upon the slab by moans of
bands of bronze , and by these the slab
may bo lifted out.
A staincd-glas's window nt the back
lights the crypt. It pictures a heavenly
choir of angels. The faces ol the choir
are refulgent in tbo light of grand can
delabra. The arched window is 0
feet high und . ' ) feet wide.
The roof of the mausoleum
consists' of granite slabs 32
foot long , each weighing fifteen
tons. They are so joined and locked to-
golhor that they cannot bo displaced ,
and that the water cannot trickle
through the scams where they join.
The slabs overlap each other in fact ,
and there are no boans. )
The whole temple woigln about throe
hundred tons. Itrestaon a olid concrete
foundation , eight feet thick , which was
very slowly and carefully laid. The same
method of concreting was followed
which was afterwards adopted for mak
ing the foundation of the statue of lib
erty on Bodloo's Inland. The contract
for'the mausoleum was given in Janu
ary , 1883. and Iho entire structure was
completed in December of that year. It
was built very slowly and cautiously.
Mr. Gould inspected Iho progress of Iho
ivork , and guarded against what ho
thought was any dcsiro on the part of
the architect to make the mausoleum' at
ill ostentatious. It is understood that
Lho cost of the mausoleum was about
DSO.OOO. .
ChnHo an n financier.
Nicolay and Hay In February Cen-
niry : Immediately upon assuming of-
Ice Mr. Chase addressed himself to the
lilllcult work before him. The only
nrovtaiona which had boon made by law
'or the support of tlio government were
.bo fragments of the loan , authorized
: iut unsold , of his predecessor. Satis-
led that the rates at which the money
! iad boon borrowed both by Cobb and
jy Dlxwore unnecessarily degrading to
; ho national credit , ho firmly refused
terms similar to those which they had
iccouted , and succeeded in borrowing i
$8 , < MK.0 ) < 10 , none of it nt n lower rate
than ninety-four , nnd aow days Intoi
ho borrowed 9oMO.QOO ) more at par.
Even in May , nftcr tbo outbreak of tbe
war , bo wns able to place sonic $11,000-
000 of government loans at n rate onl\
altttlu Uolow tbelr face vnluo. These
were of course but temporary make
shifts. b.T-ed upon previous legislation ;
but when congress mot on tbo Fourth ol
July , in that 111st special session called
by President Lincoln , tin entirely new
system of finance bad to bo instituted.
The national debt on the 1st of .July was
J > ! > 0,000,000 , and tboro was a balance in
tbe treasury of only $2,000.000.
There wits something appalling In the
sudden and monstrous increase of the
expenses of the government ns a consequence
quence of wnr. The appropriations for the
fiscal year 1800-111 were but $7'.t,000,000 ' ,
and the estimates for tbo year follow
ing , notwithstanding the threatening
outlook , were only for $76,000,000. No
body fore&aw the coming exigencies , no
provision was made to meet them. Mr.
Chase's estimate for Iho lirst fiscal year
of his administration reached the as
tounding aggregate of 8'M8otM,000. ) but
before tlio bhort section of congress ad
journed cvoii this enormous htim was
