An extraordinary freak of fate has resulted in the death of Abraham Rethmeyer, of New York. He was 73 years old .and became obsessed with the idea thait when he was dead and buried his grave would be desecrated by bodysnatchers. He did not believe in cremation, and so he had made for himself a heavy metal coffin with a strong lock on it. The casket was delivered at his house a short time ago, and he had it placed On end in his room. He took especial delight in inspecting it daily. Often he would get up in the night to make sure it was still there. Not long ago he wished to move it a little, and while ; doing this the metal box fell upon him, crushing him to death. It looked almost like a grim joke upon the part ,of Death. ■ -'j
