Again, Geneva, March 21.—A case of a man’s heart ceasing to beat for four- teen hours and then resuming work is reported from Berne, where a pas- ’ tor of that city, the Rev. Mr. Bauden- bacher, after:being officially declared dead, suddenly awoke. The Rev. Mr. Baudenbacher, aged 50, and suffering from heart trouble of long standing, fell senseless Friday. His physician issued a death certifi- cate, arrangements were made for the funeral and Saturday’s newspapers published eulogies of him. The pas- ter awoke after fourteen hours, sur- prised to find his bedroom filled with flowers, wreaths, disconsolate rela- tions and friends. He said weakly, “My call has not vet come.” The funeral has been postponed in- definitely, as the doctor said the Rev. Mr. Baudenbacher might live many vears.
