Plot to Steal Mr. Davis' Remains—A
Chicago Gansr Organized for tHe Pur
pose.
From the Xeie Orleans Times-Vemocrat.
It has been intimated by several northern
papers that the people of New Orleans, to
whose safe keeping the remains of Jefferscn
Davis .were intrusted, had better keep a
sharp lookout for resurrections: s.
It is a well-known fact that there exists a
professional band of ghouls, who, in expec
tation of a large rans m, make it their call
ing to rob the graves of the wealthy or dis
tinguished dead.
The case fA. T. Stewart, the millionaire
dry-goods dealer, which cecurred sc me years
ago, is still fresh in memory, despite the
lapse of time. The circumstances w nch at
tended the desecration of his grave, and the
stupendous audacity of the thieves, created
at the time a profound se sat ion. Mrs. A.
T. Stewart, the widow of the deceased, con
templated the erection of a n-agnificent
cathedral in which it was intended the re
mains of her husband should be placed to
rest. The cathea al was built at va-t ex
pense, but when the time arrived to transfer
the relics of the dead to its new mausoleum,
lo and behold, it was discovered that the
body had
BEEN’ SPIRITED AWAY.
\Vith dari g effrontery, the resurrection
ists, through the columns of the New York
Herald, demanded of Judge Hilton, who
was administering the estate of the deceased,
the princely sum of SIOO,OOO for its return.
This correspondence, maintained for some
time, finally led to the return of the body,
for which the resurrectionists were naid, no
questions asked, $20,000. Attempts have
also been made to tamper with the grave of
Abraham Lincoln, and, to guard against a
similar visitation, night ad day vigils were
kept at the tombs of Presidents Garfield and
Ulysses S. Grant.
It is well known that there are now fully
twenty southern Cities eager and anxious to
obtaiu the honor of being made the burial
place of the only confederate President, and
that the widow of Mr. Davis is now besieged
with letters and requests to that end.
A movement is now on foot to erect a
niagnifice it monument, in keeping with the
loftly character and eminent abilities of the
dead statesman, one which will creditably
and forever perpetuate his name and mem
ory. For this purpose large sums of money
have been donated by a number of outheru
cities, and the patriotically inclined of the
southern people are now lending every
effort to the achievement of this project.
Under such circumstances, it is easy to
understand what a rich prey the remains of
ex-President Davis would' be to body
snatchers, and what great risks they would
accept to place themselves in possession cf
the body.
METAIRIE CEMETERY,
in which Mr. Davis' remains have
been given a temporary resting place,
is situated about three miles out
of town in a locality set apart en
tirely to burial grounds. There are no
houses m the vicinity save the abodes of the
dead, and the tomb of the Army of North
ern Virginia, in which the body is immured,
occupies a position at the extreme end of
the cemetery.
There are few tombs around it, and it is
situated about one-third of a mile from tho
entrance to the cemetery, the finest and
most beafitiful burial grounds in the south.
The city officials, realizing the danger to
which the remains were exposed, had two
officers placed on day and night duty at the
tomb, a watch that has been kept up unin
terruptedly since the day of interment.
Now for the fears expressed. A few days
ago a detective agency in Chicago was
warned that certain parties from that city
had left for New Orleans on Dec. 6, before
the body was entombed, with the object of
STEALING THE BODY OF MR. DAVIS.
On receipt of the information the agents
of the i ureau at this end were notified, and
they, in turn, mentioned tbe matter to the
friends of the family. A certain under
standing was then arrived at, which was to
the effect that the local detective agency
was to place operators on watch, in addi
tion to the police detail, so as to thwart the
purpose of the mercenary plotters.
Since then tho vigil has been particularly
close, and the parties under suspicion, who
are now in the city, have had tneir move
ments carefully watched.
No dii ect attempt has yet been made to
steal the remains, and it is tbe desi’ e of tbe
detectives, if possible, to capture the scoun
drels in tho act.
One of the first subjects broached in the
meeting of the executive committee on
funeral ceremonies was the provision for
A GUARD AT THE TOMB
of the Army of Nort ern Virginia. Capt. A.
J. Lewis, of the Army of Tennessee, made
the suggestion that a guard be placed to
w atch tho remains. He stated that while he
did not think any ore w> uld disturb the re
mains of the dead chieftain through malice,
some evil-minded persons might 6teal them
for the sake of a reward, which undoubtedly
would be offered, for if the body was re
moved it would cau-e a great sensation.
Col. Wright Scbaumberg, who was pres
ent at the mt etiug, informed the committee
that he would have policemen detailed to
watch the tomb. A special request was
made of the reporters not to publish this
feet. The matter was here dropped and
policemen were detailed to guard the tomb,
and have been doing so since the burial.
At the last meeting of the executive com
mittee, for reasons best known to himself,
Col. FrodS. Washington, president of the
Army cf Northern Viginia, broached the
subject of removal of the remains from the
tomb. He advised that some provision be
made to have the casket boxed and en
cased in
FOUR IMMENSE BLOCKS OF GRANITE,
which, after being cemented, should be
buried in the ground, The c mmittee were
not disposed to discuss tho subject, and Col.
Was ington was instructed to interview
Charles A. Orleans, the tomb builder, and
arrange the matter with him. Col. Wash
ington was given full power to act, and he
wifi no doubt submit a report to the execu
tive committee at the meeting Monday
night.
Directly opposite tbe A. N. V. tomb, a
plat of ground is owned by a member of the
association. The statue of Jack-ion, which
stands upon tho tomb, overlooks t e plat,
and it has been determined, it is said, to
bury the granite block containing the re
mains in that plat. It is asserted that after
the block, which will weigh several tons, is
buried, that it will be impos ible to raise it
without the use of a derrick.
For the past week men have been quietly
at work, and b fore the end of next week
the remains will be removed to their new
receptacle. The members of tho various
con-federato associitions are adverse ta dis
cussing this su ject, and will give no in
formation regarding the action that may
have been or will be taken by their organi
zations.

Advice to Mothers.
Mbs. Winslow’s Soothiko Strut should
always be used when children’are cutting
teeth. It relieves the little sufferer at once;
it produces natural, quiet sleep bv reliev
ing the child from pain, and the little cherub
awakes as "bright as a button.” It is very
pleasant to taste. It soothes the child, soft
ens the gums, allays all pain, relieves wind,
regulates the bowels, and is the best known
remedy for diarrhoea, whether arising from
teething or other causes. Twenty-fire cent*
