T. h Blaskey were disinterred from his k grave in Elmwood cemeter, where s he was buried more than three years L~ ago. It was the desire of the relas tives of the deceased that his body r be removed and reinterred in another spot of the cemetery. Ar0 rangements were made for the disl> interment yesterday evening when several of the friends and relatives s of the deceased went to the cemetery n for this purpose. When an attempt e was made to raise the casket from -t the grave it was found that the combined strength of several men could e not raise it, and others were called d to aid in removing the casket from > the grave. When the casket was ' taken from the grave and opened It o was found that the body of Mr. Blas? key had completely petrified. It was a fully recognizable with the exception k that his face had turned rather dark, g Even the burial clothes appeared inL~ tact. n Mr. Blaskey lived here several - years and was engaged in tailoring. 0 He was of a foreign nationality. The body was of solid stone and still had the resemblance of Mr. Blaskey. The t petrification of the body is attributed e by many to stratification of the earth f where the grave was. e One Trnthful Editor.

The dispensary commission has been called to meet at an early date when matters of minor importance will be taken under consideration. ^ The Lanahan whiskey house of Balti- ^ more, that filed notice of appeal from j the finding of the commission, have offered to settle the overjudgment j against them on a basis of 50 per ^ cent., and to waive the amount due * them on open account. The piatter is left in the hands of the commis- t sion. a When the commission met several t weeks ago to wind up the affairs of _ a tne dispensary an overjuagment or t $29,000 was found against the Lanahan company. The firm had a claim c against the commission of approximately $6,000. According to the negotiations now in process, the firm has offered to abandon its claim of $6,000 and pay 50 per cent, of the ^ ov-rjudgment. This would mean the payment of nearly $15,000 to the commission by the company and the litigation avoided. Attorney General Lyon when asked concerning the proposition of the Lanahan company said that he knew p that such an offer had been made to t the commission but that the settle- n jment would be left with them. "No- a itice has been issued to the members p I of the commission to meet in Colum- f, bia," said the Attorney General, "but M i do not know what matters will be g discussed." ? Lanahan did considerable business 0 with the State dispensary and the a claim of this company was threshed ^ [out time and again at the sessions of jthe commission held last spring. ! Clark & Clark, of Columbia, are the cj I attorneys for the Lanahan company, ^ ! but it is said the offer for settlement y, I " j comes from Baltimore.?Columbia ^ State.
