SINGULAR STORY ABOUT THE ROBBERY OF THE, GRAVE AND RETURN OF THE REMAINS. — | | The Chicago Jnter-Ocean publishes an we] jterview with an unnamed detective who! | claims that in the summer and fall of 1882, | \Chief of Police McGarigle, of Chicago, and | two or three detectives he'd negotiations | |with the notorious ‘‘crook,” Lewis C. | | Sweigels, then serving a term for robbery) (in Chester, IIL, penitentiary uncer an ‘assumed name. Sweigels, who is known to} | be a professional grave robber, and was concerned in the attempt to rob the grave |of President Lincoln, told a very complete, | circumstantial and consistent story of the) ‘robbery of A. T. Stewart's grave by him- self, Larry Gavin and a man named Coffee, keeper of a saloon in Fourteenth street, New York. Swelgels promised to restore the body on condition of his pardon frem the penitentiary and receiving a part of the reward.

His pardon was secured and, according to the detective’s story, a syndicate with a capital of $10,000 was formed, which included McGarigle, Detectives Chapin and Lansing, and E. J. Lehman, all of Chicago, for the purpose of working up the case and securing the reward of $100,000 of Judge Hilton for the return of Mr. Stewart’s remains; that two or three visits were made to New York, and that negotiations were conducted through Mrs. Johnson, a female detective of New York, and at one time connected with the Chicago foree; that Inspector Byrnes of New York became offended because he was not consulted after the first visit; that the remains were finally returned upon the payment of $25,000 by Judge Hilton, as an evidence of which Sweigels had plenty of money about that time.

Interviews with McGarigle and the detec- tives are also published. They deny the formation of a syndicate to work on the case. McGarigle admits te several details of the story, including Sweigels’ pardon and the subsequent negotiations in New York, but says that they finally became disgusted with Sweigels because he trifled with them, claiming that the daughter of

to the place where they were buried insti- gated her father {o secretly remove them to another spot unknown to Sweigels. The latter claimed that he had been intimate with this woman, but he could not obtain any information from her as to the where- abouts of the body. McGarigle says he became convinced that this was merely a trick of Sweigels to secure a pardon, and that the negotiations were broken off be- fore the remains were returned, and never resumed.

A Race with a Whirlwind. AN EXCITING CHASE THAT CAUSED TERROR TO THE PASSENGERS,

A remarkable and thrilling incident re- cently occurred on the Chester and Lenoir Narrow Guage Railroad, says the Char- lotte (N. C.) Observer. The train had passed Lowerysville and was speeding in the direction of Lincolntown, when al! on board were startled by a roaring sound that could be distinctly heard above the noise of the train, and on glancing back they saw an immense whirlwind tearing along the railroad track, following directly behind the train at arapid rate. The en- gineer was among the first to see it, and realizing what the gonsequences would be should the whiriwind overtake the train he pulled the throttle wide open and an exciting race began. The whirlwind was not more than five hundred yards behind the train and the anxious passengers soon became aware of the painful fact that it was gradually gaining upon them. There were several ladies im the car and they carried on at a terrible rate, while the men danced about the car in their excitement, vainly yelling at the engineer to put on more steam,

The race was kept on this way for two miles when the train turned a curve in the road, As the whirlwind struck the curve it left the railroad track, speeding its way straight on through the fields. At the time it left the track itwas not more than three hundred yards behind the train. It was a thrilling race and all the passengers blessed that curve irom the bottom of their hearts.

Advertising Schemes.

What liberties will not advertisers take with the human form divine in aid of their schemes? Says the New York Times, “‘the ‘travelling sandwich,’ which consists of a man inedsed between two long boards, on which are depicted the merits of Stickem’s Stomachic Solvent, or Potter’s Purgative Pills, has become a nuisance of !ong stand- ing, or, more strictly speaking, perambu- lating. Of later date are the colored geutle- men arrayed in tawdry finery and tinsel, like the circus clowns of old, and the bogus Nubians and Indiens, duly tinted, who are walking advertisements of dumb bells, Indian clubs, and cheap restaurants. A milder form of the movement was ¢xhibit- ed in the cases of other colored gentle- men, elegantly,—not to say ultra-fashion- ably— attired, whose shirt collars of heroic dimensions bore testimony in the largest! of type, to the extra quality of Somebody's Soap. From marking the dress they got to marking the person itself, and a Boston man originated the device of tattooing men’s bodies with advertisements, pictorial and otherwise, of tobaconists, the object being to put the tattooed men on exhibition in museums. But all these schemes fade into insignificance beside the one now reported in London, England where an enterprising patent medicine dealer has printed a cau for twenty baid-headed men willing to have an advertisement of his precious nonstrum burned on the back of their heads. And although perhaps this is not what be intend- ed, it may be that the advertiser will actually receive responses from persons who

Double Execution.

A CLAIRVOYANT WHO WAS HANGED SEEING TOO MUCH.

FOR

A despatch of the 3rd inst., from Regina N. W. T., says: Jobn and George Stephen- son were executed here this morning at 8 o’cleck. The crime thus expiated was committed near Qu’Appelle, June 27, 1883. The victim was an eld mannamed John McCarthy, who, the year before, left his family at London, Ont., and settled on a farm a couple of miles from the village. He lived in a shanty, was industrious, and it was generally known that he had money. Suddenly and unaccountably he dis- appeared. Search was made and the body, mutilated and in a decomposed state, was found near the shanty, Indications showed that the old man bad been mur- dered while at supper. His trunk had been broken open and the contents stolen. John and George Stephenson, half-breeds, lived in the neighborhood. George, who told fortunes with cards, foolishly declared his ability and willingness to exactly de- scribe the locality where some murdered

man’s money could be found. This feat did so well that suspicion fastened upon him, which was strengthened

by the fact that the younger brother

was seen wearing a coat of the murdered man’s. The brothers were arrested, tried and _ eonvicted. They

were to have been hanged on November 28th last, but were respited until March 14th, and reprieved again until to-day. John murdered his wife in 1876, on the ground of infidelity, and for years had borne the name of a desperate character. This was Regina's first hanging, and the second in the Province, the first being that of an Indian executed two years ago at Edmunton, for killing and eating his child. Six other Indians had before been sentenced to be hanged, but died in jail before the time appointed for execution. + a

A Serious Liability.

In a case decided on Friday last by the Ontario Court of Appeal, a principal is laid down as law, which to the ordinary laymen is somewhat startling. The action in ques- tion was one by a mill owner on the banks of the Fenelon River against the proprietor of a steamboat which had been running on the river, for damages for destruction of the mill by fire; such fire having been oc- casioned as was alleged by sparks from the steamer. The evidence as to the origin of the fire was conflicting, but the judge who tried it determined in favor of the plaintiff, and the Court of Appeals did not feel dis- posed to interfere with that finding. There was also conflicting evidence as to the care that had been taken by the steamship pro- prictor to prevent the escape of sparks, and as to whether or not, uuder the cireum- stances, he had been guilty of negligence. This evidence the Court of Appeal cast to one side; and laid it down as a principle that if the fire was occasioned by sparks from the vessel, the proprietor was liable for the damage caused even if he had exercised all possible care to prevent any ioss from oc- curring. In other words it is enunciated as a principle of law that the steamboat proprietor was bound, et his own risk, to run his vessel in such a way as not to injure property along the banks; and if, notwith- standing the greatest possible care, a loss occurred, he was liable to make it good. What makes this an important decision in the public interest is that this rule is not Jaid down on the ground of anything peculiar to this case. The principle is said to be that a man who is running a conveyance on a public highway, whether by land or water, does so at the risk of being made answerable for any injury caused by the way in which he runs it. It is admitted, as we understand it, that there are some exceptions to this rule, notably where the business is carried on under legislative sanction, such as that of railway companies. In the case in question there was, it is held, no legisjative sanction but merely the common law right to navigate a river that was navigable.

Two and a Half Per Cent.

The Bank of Engiand has made another reduction of one-half per cent. in the rate of discount. Three weeks ago, on March 13, the rate was lowered from 34 per cent., to 3 per cent., and now it hag been reduced to 24 per cent. That is a very moderate charge. It comes within one-half per cent. of the lowest rate ever made by the Bank of England. When the old lady in Threadneedle street can- not pat out her money at 2 per cent. she rolls up her discount sheet and turns over the bill market to less conservative lenders. Even a 24 per cent. rate is comparatively

strange. lt has not been seen before for nearly three years. It was last noted on Aug. 18, 1881. On April 28, 1881, the

bank made a change precisely the same as that reported yesterday. It lowered its rate cf discount from 3 per cent. to 24 per cent. The charge was maintained at 2¢ per cent. for sixteen weeks, until Aug. 15, when it was restored to 3 per cent., the bank having lost in the interim $9,256,400 of its gold. In the last three weeks, under the 3 per cent. rate, the bank has gained $6,301,310 specie. It has re- ceived a net sum of $8,160,000 in gold coin and bullion from abroad, and parted with $1,955,690 in sovereigns to enrich the domes- tic circulation. It holds at present $124,467, - 150 specie, and shows a proportion of reserve amounting to 44 7-16 per cent. One year ago its specie line stood at $109,705,655, and its reserve ratio ruled at 343. Two years ago it held $116,587,135 specie, and reported a re- serve of 363 per cent.— Boston Herald. ——__-_— ~@ poe — Paysicians and Druggists have been in the habit of charging patients and customers more than many of them are ableto pay.
