REGAINING STEWARD’S body. Now in the Cathedral Crypt Re markable Story of Its Recovery. Front the Xew York Tribune. Ex-Superintendent of Police, George TV. Availing, in his book just issued and entitled ■•Recollections of a New York Chief of police," extracts from which are published elsewhere in the Tribune to-day, devotes a chapter to the history of the robbery of the grave of A. T. Stewart, and an account of ihe effort to recover the body, and the final success of the endeavor. The narrative opens with the exclamation “My God!” uttered by Frank Parker, the resistant sexton of old St. Mark'a church, “an hour after dawn one wet amt gloomy Wednesday, in November, 1878,” when he discovered that the body had been stolen. Parker summoned Sexton Hauiill, who hastened to Judge Hilton's house with the news. ■ The vault has been robbed, sir: Mr. Stewart's body has been taken away. lam sorry.” This was thirty months after the burial. Judge Hilton called on Supt. Walling and the famous search for the body was begun. Inspectors Murarvand Dilks were put on the cs'-e On the following morning a reward of $25,000 was offered by Mr. Hilton at \[rs. Stewart's direction for the return of the body and for information which would lend to the conviction of the guilty persons. A liberal reward was offered even for infor mation. A lawyer name Gen. Patrick H. Jones, of No. 150 Nassau street, called on Mr. Availing, professing to have information w hich he would impart on “proper encour agement.'’ Judge Hilton, the writer says, • declared that lie would never pay one cent lor Mr. Stewart's bones unless they came accompanied bv the thieves in irons.'’ Jones next produced a coffin-plate said to have been sent from Boston. The engraver re cognized it as “the very one” which had been on Mr. Stewart's coffin. Mr. Walling went to Boston and found that the package containing the plate had been left by “a lady muffled up to her eyes,” but no further information in that direction was obtained. The robbers next sent a piece of paper that exactly fitted a hole which bad been cut in the velvet cover of the coffin. Sexton Ham ill now has this and the coffin-plate remains at Police Headquarters. THU EXACT STORY TOLD FOR THE FIRST TIME. The exact story of the recovery of the body Mr. Wailing next says he now tells for the first time. It is set down as being narrated by a gentleman “in a position to know the facts.” Judge Hilton had re mained firm in his determination not to • c ompound a felony,” as he expressed it; but Airs. Stewart's nights became almost sleepless with anxiety. “She was well-nigh driven insane.” Cor respondence robbers was there fore resumed, but lisf trade of the body or the thieves was foftur.until feen. Jones called at police headquarters. The writer goes on: “He brought with him a parcel and showed me the contents. They were the silver knobs and several of the handles be longing to the coffin in which the body had been buried. He also showed me some let ters which he had received. They purpoi-ted to have been written in Canada and were signed by ‘Henry G. Romaine.’ With the first letter a hundred-dollar bill was inclosed ns a retainer for him to act as attorney for the return of the body, upon the payment of #250,000.” A LETTER DESCRIBING THE BODY. The letter purported to give an exact ac count of the theft of the body at midnight on Nov. <5, and its being taken in a grocer's wagon to a graveyard at One-hundred and Sixtieth street, whence it was tranjjorted to Pit tsburg and thence to Canada, where it was buried. The letter went on as follows : "Except, rhat. the eyes have disappeared, the flesh is as firm and the features as natu ral as the day of the interment, and can therefore be instantly identified. The in closed piece of paper is exactly the size of the piece of velvet taken from the cof fin, while the small strip sent you will prove to be of the same piece as that on the coffin.” % This letter explaining how Gen. Jones had come in possession of the piece of paper contained also suggestions relative to the use of “personals” in a daily news paper of this city by which to carry on ne gotiations. The" coffin-plate was to be sent in answer to a certain form of personal. The personal was inserted, and the next an swer, signed by “Romaine,” purported to come from Boston. FIRST TERMS OF COMPROMISE. Another personal was inserted by Mr. Jones, who again wrote to “Romaine,” agreeing Anally to act as counsel and say ing that Judge Hilton was anxious to re cover the body. Then the following de mand was made on “Romaine’s” part through Jones: •‘l. The amount to be paid shall be $200,- 000. “2. The body will be delivered to your self and Judge Hilton within twenty-five miles of the city of Montreal, and no other person shall be present. “3. The money to.be placed in your hands or under your control until Judge Hilton is fully satisfied, when you will deliver it to mv representative. “4. Roth parties to maintain forever an unbroken silence in regard to the trans action. "These are the first, last and only terms which will ever receive attention. "Having communicated the contents of this letter to Judge Hilton you will await his decision.” Judge Hilton refused the terms and de clined to have anything more to do with •‘personals.” “Romaine” then ordered Jones to close negotiations with Judge Hil ton and open them with Mrs. Htewart. No notice was taken of the request, but Judge Hilton next made an offer of $25,000 for the body. “Romaine” “respectfully but firmly declined” the offer. This closed the correspondence. MRS. STEWART OPENS NEGOTIATIONS. Mr. Walling concludes the narrative as follows: "But the distracted widow and her rela tives without the consent of Judge Hilton opened negotiations on her own account. I he lawyer was still the medium of com munication with the ghouls. Foiled in their first attempt to secure money, they had become partly discouraged, aud now, in stead of expecting $200,000, were willing to dispose of tneir dreadful booty for half that sum. "Mrs. Stewart, after a wakeful night, gave orders to have the offer accepted: but her representatives obtained a reduction of 'he price to $20,000, which sum they agreed to pay. The conditions of the delivery were made quite as severe as those which S' ''omnanird the negotiations for the return '>f Charley Ross. The criminals declined to lake any chances. They did not demand 'hat the money be flung from a flying train in a leathern bag without any guarantee, but the man with the money had to sur lender himsglf absolutely into the hand of the robbers, trusting to their ‘honor.’ "He was to leave New York city at 10 o'clock at night alone in a one-horse wagon and drive into Westchester county along a lonely road which the robbers indicated on a map which they sent marked. ‘.Sometime oefore morning,’ if the man was acting iu good iuith and was not accompanied or fol lowed by detectives, lie would bo met and given further directions.” MEETING THE ROBBERS AT MIDNIGHT. \ young relative of Mrs. Stewart under i ook the hazardous errand and drove out into the country. Two or three times dur ing the night ho became certain that he was watched, hut it was 3o’clock when a masked horseman rode up, gave the signal agreed on and turned the buggy up a lonely lane. Hie strange visitor here left him. directing him to drive on. At the end of another inde he became aware that another wagon was blocking the way. He paused. A masked man promptly appeared and brought forward a lwg to his buggy, laying: “Here where's the money r ' Where is the proof of identity:" asked the messenger, a the bag containing the mortal remains of A. T. brew art was lifted into the bu.gy. "Here*" gaiij holding up an ir regular bit of velvet, and opening a bull's eye lantern pon it with tt click. The place was compared with a bi. of paper of the same shape which the New Yorker hud brought with him to this lonely scot. “Come, hurry up I” was the command. The messenger boy obeyed by producing the money, and the'robbers retired a few feet and counted it by the light of their lantern. Then they moved off with their vehicle, and the messenger of Mrs. Stewart drove back the way he find come, glad to escape from such company. The next night a freight car went out to Garden City containing nothing except a trunk, and on it sat the man who had spent the previous night in the loneliest part of Westchester county. An empty coffin had already been deposited in the Cathedral, and at the dead of night two men transferred the bones ‘to it from the trunk. They then placed the cof fin in an inaccessible vault beneath the dome. And now, they sav, if any fiend should ever again touch unbidden the vault which holds the bones of the merchant mil lionaire, the touch would release a hidden spring which would shake the chime of clus tered bells in the tower and send an instant alarm throughout the sleeping village. The relatives and friends of Mrs. Stewart, who may lie supposed to know the facts of the recovery of the body, decline to say anything on the subject. CHILI’S RICH WIDOW. She Will Soon Paralyze the Nabobs of New York. A New York letter says that with the exception of politics, weddings and occa sional fashionable funerals, there is nothing of exciting interest in town. We are noth ing nowadays if not rich. Ho you perhaps can imagine the intensity of emotion with which the nobs and snobs of Gotham have heard that the richest of all rich women is soon to be among us. She is Seuora Isadora Cousino, otherwise known as the “Countess of Monte Cristo” of Santiago, Chili, com pared with whose wealth the colossal for tunes of Mrs. Hetty Green and certain other American ladies sink into insignificance. / Donna Consino is already making her ar rangements for her visit here, which will lie of considerable duration. She will open an establishment that in point of magnificence will surpass anything of its kind ever seen in this city, and, if reports be true, will set the society world in a whirl of excitement when she gets settled. The house that Se nora will occupy will be situated in a fash ionable part of this city. But it has not yet been selected. Near Santiago she has the finest private park in the world with flower gardens upon which fortunes have been spent. These gardens will be stripped if need be to supply the conservatory which will be attached to Donna Consino’s New' York mansion. The collection of orchids, ferns and other rare plants and flowers that will be here exhibited is intended to be the finest that can be gathered. Donna Consino will be accompanied by her two daughters, Senorita Isadore and Senorita Pacifica, both young ladies of more than ordinary attrac tions, aside from the wealth they will in herit. The story of the extent of this Chilian lady's wealth reads like a page from a fairy tale. It is doubtful if she herself really knows the extent of her possessions. Even before the death of the old don, her husband, she was in her own right the wealthiest woman in South America. He managed his own estate and she hers, and it is said that the woman was the better man ager of the two. Upon the death of her husband all his vast possessions in the way of mines, railroads, manufactories and lands passed into her hands, and she has since di rected the affairs of this estate personally, with more shrewdness and success than most men could display under a similar bur den. Donna Consino has more wealth than any person or corporation in Chili, except alone the Catholic church. Exactly what her in come is can’t be told. It is known to reach several millions per annum. It is derived from mines, railroads, manufactories, her plantations and from commerce. She owns a fleet of ships varying from a,OOO to 3,600 tons burdens, which trade between various South American ports. From her coal mines alone she realizes $BO,OOO per month. The town of Lota she owns outright and all of its 7,000 inhabitants are her depend ents. Coronal, a town of about the same size, is almost entirely owned by her, and in these two towns alone she pays out $130,000 in wages each month. At Lota are her copper mines, and here, too, she has a mansion that has cost over $1,000,000. The architect and the skilled mechanics were imported from Paris, as was the build ing material, which Donna Consino con veyed to Chili in her own ships. Over $1,000,000 more was spent in im proving the natural beauty of the grounds surrounding the mansion. There are 300 acres in the private park spoken of alone. There are artificial lakes, grottoes and flower gardens, in which half a hundred skilled gardeners, most of them from Scotland, are constantly employed. Donna Consino has a plantation near San tiago, which is said to be the finest in South America'. Here are her grain, orchards, vine gardens, herds of cattle and flocks of sheep. The vineyards supply the market of Chili with sherry and claret. There is a wine cellar here 500x100 feet in size, which is always filled. There are 400 men em ployed at all seasons on the plantation ami 1,000 peons are at Senora Consino’s eom- raand at any time. In the city of Santiago Donna Consino has two residences. One is built in the American the other in Spanish-American style; the latter was decorated and fitted up in Parisian style at an enormous cost. But Donna Consino spends very little time in either of these houses. Thirty miles outside cf Santiago there is another large estate also owned by the donna. Like most South American men ami women the donna is in tensely fond of sports, and especially of horse racing. She has a splendid stud at Santiago and she backs her horses right royally. Should she conclude to become a “plunger” on our race courses here she might cause some of our big betters to open their eyas. She is more likely, how ever, to devote her attention to the pleasures of society, and if she entertains half as many here as at home, or during her recent sojourn iu Paris, society circles will have enough to talk about. When in Chili Donna Consino frequently fits up and decoratas one Of her vessels, in vites a large party of young men and women and all go upon a voyage of pleas ure, lasting sometimes for weeks. On these trips the guests are entertained in a princely manner, regardless of expense. The reoep tions and balls she gives from time to time are upon the same magnificent scale. She is particularly fond of the society of young people and is always surrounded by them. She is quick to form lilies and dislikes, and is the jiossessor of very decided opinions. The senora is still on the sunny side of , r io and is a well-preserved woman of considera ble charms. , Rhe comes of a Hpauish family and her forefathers were among those enterprising adventurers who came over with the con querors of Peru aud Chili. Senora Consino has a son of 24. and her daughters are aged 20 and 10 respectively. The son assists his mother in the management of her estates and the daughters are just finishing their education. Donna Consino has magnificent costumes, made for her by Worth, but, she is somewhat careless in dress and cares but little tor her fine feathers. The advent of the lady hero will be await ed with interest. That society will open its arms to her seams certain, since she is wealthy. With her wealth and her gener osity she will undoubtedly soon become a prominent figure in our social world. “Full Many a Gem of purest ray sereae the dark unfathomed caves of ocean boar.” but not odd that glis tens more brightly than tooth beautified and made healthly with KOZODONT, that time honored douor of comfort and attractive ness of the dental row. THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1887. FROM A GIRL TO A BOY. Kitty Russell's Queer Masquerade In Chelsea. i'Vom the Baltimore American. The arrest of a young man in female at tire at Chelsea on Friday afternoon, proves to be one of the most remarkable cases of female impersonation ever brought to light in this country, and the disclosure has been one of the greatest surprises to the supposed “female's” friends. When arrested the suiiposed young w oman gave her name as “Kitty Russell,” but her identity was sus pected, and the services of a physician being called in by Chief of Police Sibley, the matter was quickly decided, “Kitty” prov ing to be a man. Yesterday morning Chief Sibley had the voting man photo graphed and afterwards rigged her out in a bov’s suit. He was then taken to a barber shop, where some nine inches of hair was cut from his head. Chief Sibley returned with his charge to the station, and, after giving th voting man some sound advice, allowed him to depart in company with his foster mother, a Mrs. Peter Cottrell, of 488 Com mercial street, Boston. Considerable diffi culty was experienced fitting the young man out in clothing, as he measured but eighteen inches around the w aist and wears a No. 4 lady’s boot. The change in his attire was by no means an improvement in his personal apjiearance. A reporter called at 488 Commercial street and found Peter Cottrell and his wife comfortably quartered on the third floor. Upon inquiring for the “young man'’ the reporter was told that “Kitty” was out, but would shortly return. Mrs. Cottrell became very* communicative, and both she and her husband said they were perfectly thunder struck by the revelations made by the police of Chelsea. They had always looked upon the young man as their daughter, and what could have led “Kitty” to keep Yhe secret all these years from them, was something beyond their comprehension. Mrs. Cottrell, in her conversation, always spoke of the young man as “Kitty,” and as being of the feminine gender, and told a remarkable story. She said: “Some sixteen years ago we lived out at Washington village, and for neigbbors had a man named Morris, who married a woman with one child, always supposed to be a girl bv the neighbors. The couple did not live happily to gether. and the stepfather’s ill-usage of the child was the cause of many a quarrel between the pair. In the absence of the mother one day. he was unmercifully beating the child, when I stepped in and took the little one to my tenement, and I have been a mother to it ever since. The child was ‘Kitty,’ and at that time was but 8 years of age. My husband taking a fancy to the child, we brought it up, sent it to the public schools in Washington village, and until told by Chief Sibley yesterday, had no more idea that ‘Kitty’ was an an than a balie unborn. She lias always made this her home. When she grew up I sent her out to work, and when she left her situa tion, she invariably returned to us.’’ The woman's story was fully substantiated by her husband, who, if possible, was more astonished than his good wife at the way in which they had boen deceived. He said “Kitty” did not like the new rig, as she felt like a duck out of water. The reporter waited for some lit tle time for “Miss Kitty” to put in an ap pearance, and, being assured that she wonld soon arrive, he took a stroll with Mr. Cot trell around the block, and while standing on the sidewalk the “Fair Maid,” again in female attire, walked past and into the house. The reporter followed, and “Kitty,” after taking off her bonnet, told the follow ing story: “I was brought up by Mr. and Mi's. Cot trell. They have been father and mother to me in every respect. When I grew np 1 secured the place of maid of all work in a family residing in Boston, and have filled that position in various places ever since, with the exception of twelve months. My last place was in Springfield street, with a Mrs. Morrill, living there off and on for the past three years. On no occasion have I been suspected of being a man. About five years ago I was married to a man named Frank King, who is now employed as a driver on the South Boston horse railway. We went to live in Mattapan. We bad lived together about twelve months wlien he began to abuse me, and I left him. He has caused me more or less trouble ever since.” On being asked what he intended to do, Kitty said he should leave the State as soon as he could secure the funds. It seemed very little use to try and persuade him to discard the female attire and adopt that of his own sex. THE MONKS OF DEATH. Two Young Men Guillotined in France for a Double Murder. Prom the London Tablet. A double execution has just taken place at Aix. The two lads, Esposito, aged 22, and Tegami, aged 19, were condemned to death in the beginning of August for burglary and a double murder, and on Tuesday suf fered their sentence. Both died cynically impenitent, cursing the chaplain, who en deavored to move them to repentance, and showing a spirit of hardened wickedness truly revolting in such young men. They asked for rum, and drank off a large glass just as tbev were going out to execution, and then lighted cigars and smoked them as they walked up to the guillotine. They were attended to the last by a confraternity called the Blue Penitents, but popularly known in Province as the Maine* dr la Mart. They are not a religious confraternity, although they were originally, leaving been founded in the sixteenth century by a holy priest, Matthieu Arnaud. canon of St. Sau veur. He was moved with compassion for the unfortunate convicts, who, when they had suffered capital punishment, wore left uuburied to lie devoured by the vultures or other birds of prey, and entreated some charitable persons to join in trying, first to procure spiritual help for the poor creatures, and then to obtain decent burial for them. The call was answered, and some good Christian gentlemen formed an association to visit the condemned iu prison: they also assisted them to meet death, and bought a a grave for them, where they saw them de cently interred. It is odd enough that so purely Catholic and medimval an institution as the so-called Moines de la Mort should have survived every revolution, and be still not only tolerated, but recognized by the local authorities. When the news of Tegami'sand Esposito’s approaching execution was made known in Aix, the gentlemen who Itelonged to the confraternity assembled in the chapel iu the Rue dußon Pasteur, and, having been informed by their Secretary of the coming tragedy, offered up prayers for the condemned: tlien two antique lamps were lighted and placed before the altar, to burn there until all was over. From the day of the condemnation until the day of the exe cution, prayers were offered up for the con demned, and a mass said once a week for them. At the end of every religious exer cise in their intention, the members go in procession to the foot of the altar, reciting hymn and prayer. The day and hour of the execution are then notified to them officially by the Attorney General of Aix. Tlio Attorney General mote: “Monsieur le President de la Confrerie des Penitents blens\—i have the honor to inform you that the capital execution of Esposito and (I’ogami will take place to-morrow at 5:30 in the morning. 1 know the services your confraternity have rendered, and may still render to justice. In inviting you to assist at this execution I am therefore only con forming to an ancient tradition.” The Blue Penitents at once went to their chapel, anil before the crucifix, surrounded by six lighted candles, they recited the prayers for the agonising, stopping at the words, prafleiscere anima Christiana. Next morning they were at the prison, accom panied the condemned to the scaffold, saw their bodies placed in the coffins, and fol lowed them to their dishonored grave. A great manr Free-Thinkers, lam assured, belonged to tfd* confrjtKtutr. CHEAP ADVERTISING. ONE CENTA WORD.

Cary, of Rochester, N r . who is now recognized as one of the tF Pian'sts and most success ful Teachers tn. „ America has produced: “ill’s. Cary made flying visits to New York, receiving valuable instruction from S B. Mills, and drawing inspiration from those two great tone masters, Thalberg and Gottsehalk. The production of a pure sinyiny tone had always been a study with hhr, and, observing that these two great pianists used only the Chickeriny Pianos , she made a thorough investigation, which resulted in her purchasing the first Chick ering Grand that went into Western New York. Since that time Mrs. Cary has been a firm and steadfast friend of that Piano Forte, and it is a matter of conscience with her to advise the use of these instruments with her class, over 70 of whom possess Chiokering Grands.” A Word to the Wise. —A Piano which is used and indorsed by such magnificent artists a.s Thalberg, Gottsohalk. Rivi King, Teresa Careno, Wm. IT. Sherwood and Mrs. Cary is certainly a sale and desirable Piano to buy. Over 74,000 Chiekerings have been sold, and to-day, as always, the Chickerino Pianos lead the world.
