Smiths-iile, Tenn, September 5—The
quiet little town of grelthvUle Is rife with ex*
citrmeut over the discovery of e horrible
crime ccmmltted many years In tha put. The
circumstances .urronndlog the discovery are
as mysterious at the crime and all are shock,
cd that such a crime should lay nediecevered
et tbeir very door. The perpetrators are un
known end unsuspected. The facta are about
as follows:
One half milt northeast from town atanda
an old brick house of two atorlee, aljnost in
rulne, that baa been untenanted for the pest
twenty-live years. It Is situated on a alight
eminence end In front la a beantlfnl grove of
tell and Imposing oaks, at tha root of which la
. been reported as haunted. A lady
fair and beaullfol baa often been men gliding
among tbo oaks and reclining et ease near tho
spring, gnltar In hand, and many a amall boy
hat harried by the boaso nnd gloomy oaks in
investigation, which he aaw was pending. He
told o'f rich aueeulaliewe in Bmxftlati mb
„ mines,
and how he had mode money by several safe
investmonfo. Nevertheless, Donovan wee not
■aSItficd, hot hobbled off to the woman’s room,
bbn lay In n stupor on a lounge, and oonld not
answer any qnrstious. He Anally aranaed bar
and learned that for nearly three deye she
htd loin there In that condition without any
nourishment, end was to enfeebled u to be
hardly able to enswor hla Inquiries. The
women demanded whisky, end cried bysterl-
colly when it was refined bar. The hotel
keeper hobbled down stairs with the Intention
of making on Inquiry ea to the tne foots In
the cam. He was met at the door of (he bar
room by an Intelligent, good-looking jouog
follow, who asked:
Tituses ns ci an ngoTBieu.

■T don't know » bother your alitor is hare

Then the mas who represented himself as
I he husband of the women came from tho
billiard room and laced the blether. Uo told
the young woman’s relative tbit he was with
the woman, and that he wee her undoubted
male prelector. The brother, wild With rage,
denounced the ‘blonde mattached cockney ea
a liar, and proeeedad to prove hit eemrtion
with physical arguments. Tha cockney
aflenratd nut ewey.
Captain Donovan said he believed that the
object of Hneede wee to get tho money from
the wemen end flee the country. Haokmatt
baeedo wsa found on the haek Uae with t
dozen other backmen, end Hneede told the
reporter that the women htd asked him to buy
her drlnka whllo he was driving berallorar
the country. The driver sold that he had
aaktd a colored coachman to take the relna

wbtre the was to meet her brother,
end wai to start with him Ute next day on the

rue made by Captain Donovan It waa learned
that the women bed been driven to e piece

the driver to bny her n drink. This the dri

Tho house was last inhabited by a gentle,
man from Arkansas by the r.amo of Biltnd, a
widov.er iv.th tbrro children. Ho was very
retired and allowed no visitors. His vlilte to
town were always on business, which ho trans
acted snd rwturnod Iniiusdlalely. Ills strange
actions canred tomn comment, but gradually
he waa understood, and no communications
were had with anyoee In Hmlthvlllo.
Gceatlonally two men would come In e
covered wagon, drive straight through town
to ihe home of Mr. Balend, spend a day or two
and return. No one knew whence they come
r where they went. Nothing was thought of
their vlilts at the lime, but slnco the dia-
eovny they havo been associated with tho
crime.
liny before yesterday a tall, ugly trimp with
e carpet-bag on hla back, came through town
and Inquired tho way to Sparta, saying ho waa
going to North Carolina. He went on bis way
toward flparta, hut It baa come out that late
yesterday evening ho was seen near the old

but hla being sern there has associated him
with the dark crime that haa just como to

OUR ENVOY’S CONDUCT.
A Denial From Mexico About Hla Getting
Drank nnd Disgracing Himself.
City op Mkxico, August :M>.—Bspor** havo
been telegraphed from here that Special Envoy
Sedgewick had disgraced himself by drinking
and ea rousing with some Mexican clnb men,
snd had made inch an exhibition of himsolf
that he bad become notorious; htd been eat by
Minister Jackson and the better class of Mexi
can society. The facts are that on Friday
evening Mr. Sedgewick attended a ball given
bv an aristocratic c!ftb, where he was made an
object of especial attention and lespeet. Wine
was drank in the snpper rooms, ana Mr. Sedge-
wick, amongst others, was toasted and replied,
tut nothing occurred to warrant report derog
atory to him as a gentleman and the official
representatives of his government. Momben
of the club and ita managers strenuously deny
tbat any discourtesy waa intended or practfcad
toward Mr. Sedgewick, who made a splendid
impression. To set at rest tho injurious re
ports regarding Mr. Sedgewick, It is proposoJ,
by leading representatives of the highest sool
tty of Mexico, to gtvs him a series of dlnnors
and receptions, in'order to make It evident
tbat he has the esteem of Mexicans. Since
the rumors became current* a large number of
entirely ridiculous and uufoundod report#
have been in circulation, but no person of
reputation or standing in the community, con*
versant with the matter, supported them. Last
evening Mr. Sedgwick was a guest at a prlvato
house at dinner, at which were present Hints
ter Mariscal, of tbo department* of foreign re
lations, and Minister Romero Rubio, of the
Interior department Mr. Sedgwick Is confer
ring with Minister Jackson and investigating
the laws of Mexico bearing on the Catting
esse. He Is having translations of tho laws
made, and when through here ho will go to
Chihuahua and then to Faso del Norte.

A prominent Atlanta physician said yes ter

'The facia are not at ill exaggerated In that

refute to take a body tho outride demand it
great enough to stimulate grave robbing. It
is foolith to talk about enforcing a lav which
would require the closest police watch and
regulation over every cemetery in the slate.’'
‘ What remedy do you think possible?"
“It haa been urged upon tho legislature
time and again in blllt proposing to give (he
bodleo of the unknown and unclaimed dead
to mrdlctl colleges for the purpose of promot
ing tho study of medical science. If wo could
get such a low as that, and thon mako grave-
robbing a felony instead of a misdemeanor, at
it ntw is, and mako it a crime to ahlp any
dead body beyond tho state line*, I bsllsvo

“I don't know—wo have tried hard enough,

tbe legislature it 1* opposed with n
sentimental lam which retlly tends
to keep up grave-robbing by
defeating the only meant for its suppression.
Wo even offer lo embalm tho bodies, advertise
them, and keep them ninety days subject to
the recognition and demand of relatives and
friends. About flva years ago a bill ouch at

In tho last legislature wo mode another effort,

“Ho you think many bodies aro stolon in

risky for a college In one atato to

Bnt, the plan I outlined to yon would atop the
indirerfminato grave rohbiuq whloh ia now
