K>n the grounds and proceeded at once to their pavilion in the half-mile track where they [■were to reeeire the people. s Colonel W. J. Northen delivered ig toncluiy introductory speech, mention ing how M». Davis bad said he was charmed |With ail the displays he had seen, but that he i Was most of all anxious to meet the children K>f Georgia. Then began a long procession of •about fifteen hundred children, of all ages and sizes, all of whom were most kindlv received Av'th kisses and blessings by Mr.‘and Mrs. ? Immediately after this the Barnesville band i Was introduced to Mr. Davis, who arose and •thus addressed them: “Young men, you are the new edition of the old south. Her sous should be worthy of their sires, and her daughters what her' mothers were—the noblest women in the world. May God bless you.” J Little Ellen May Bidell, who presented Mr tapd Mrs. Davis with some beautiful iiowersi remarked, as she came by: ‘’Mr. President, my papa has taught me to love you.” t. . The “ ld man clas P ed her in his arms and xilereod h»r. There were seven or eight thou- who laid their hands on Mr. Davis's hand as it reposed on a cushion, his friends fearing that his age and feebleness would not allow of li'.s clasping.and shaking hands with them, wears w 6re f ree ]y shed, especially when a little blind boy, his sightless eyes averted, came near and, with his little hands grasped by Mr. Davis s, listened with a joyous expression to the kind words of both the old chief and his 'faithful wife. Even the medal sellers and fakirs left off crying their wares and joined the procession. Captain Young, a •conductor on the Southwestern railroad, was introduced as the man who had rebuked the Grand Army of the Republic, of which he is an honored member. Captain Young said. When on the way to Beauvoir, that he would not have an accident happen for .«HO,OOfi, as people would say that the reason was because lie was a member of the Grand Army of the Itepublic. He was received most cordially. Next came a limping veteran, who remarked in a voice loud enough to be heard by all the assemblage, “Yes, I know him. I have seen him before. I had four brothers killed at Gettysburg, besides myself.” This expression •Was received with enthusiastic cheers. At this moment the sun, which had been hidden all day, burst forth and illumined the snowy locks of the aged chieftain, and the people caught it up as a glad omen and cheered vociferously. The band struck up “Dixie,” •and the procession moved on. After a few minutes the greetings were ended, and Presi dent Northen arose and delivered a short ad dress, closing with the grand peroration, “Peace on earth and gqpd’ will towards all men.” ' Mr. Davis, from his seat, said: “from the of your seed-corn the harvest will be most bounteous.” Arising in all the majesty of his manhood, 'he then spoke'in a strong, clear voice, which sounded like a prophecy: “Georgians, you have no reason to fear the future, as,l told your president today. The seed-corn you have sent to shake hands with me today, will produce a bounteous harvest, and with such old Georgia will live forever.” UNCOEN AND DAVIS. •General Henry R. Jackson Explains Wha* Was Me mt. The speech made by General Jackson has jalready become a national issue. It was tele graphed from Macon when delivered, in im perfect shape, and with the mistakes incident to telegraphing from hurried stenographic re ports. I We print the speech this morning entire and in authorized shape. The correspondents of northern and republican papers accept as the gist of the speech, and the point on which they will make issue, this sentence. “In that triumphal procession (alluding to the final tri umph of the principle of local sovereignty against centralized power) Abraham Lincoln shall not move as the rightful president, but Jefferson Davis, the so-called traitor leader of s, so-called lost cause.” This is the sentence on which issue is to be made. An editor of The Constitution had a talk with General Jackson about his speech. Ho was surprised at the wide discussion it prom ised to provoke, but found no occasion in tjhis to revise or review anything he had said. Mt. Jackson said : “When I was invited to Macon to make the address on the occasion of Mr. Davis's last appearance before his people, I felt it would be proper for me to express there and in that presence the convictions 1 have held all my life, and I did so.” I “What about the sentence quoted above as the Lincoln-Davis sentence?” “That sentence with its context should ex plain itself; but as it may bo subject to mis construction, which misconstruction may do injury beyond my personal relations, I will give you the precise line of thought that led upto it. Yon will find at once in this a statement and an argument from winch no man who believes as I believe can dissent. “It has been my conviction all my life that She model government would bo reached on this earth through local sovereignty, as op posed to the centralization of power. I reached this conviction when I was a young man, and my observation and study have but deepened it. We find illustrations of its truth On ail sides. In France, twenty-live thousand itnen in Faris, the most irresponsible and worthless element of its population if you please, can precipitate a revolution that will involve the whole country. Mr. Gladstone 'seeing the danger of the centralization of flower, is giving the last and best years of his ife to an appeal for home rule, and an argu ment against lodging in London tlie local ’righis that should be lodged in Dublin. In this country, where the plan of state sover eigntystill lives, New York may engage to morrow in a war vyilh her unemployed labor ers. l“o id may run in the sircets of her prin cipal cities, and Geomi a. and perhaps no other State, would be involved except so far as they voluntarily operated to the protection of New .York. “It is my conviction, therefore, ns it has al ways been! that when the solution of the nr >b -Icm of human government is found, it will bo found in a lodgment of local sovereignties, in local commonwealths. It v.as the triumph of this j.iim iple of which I spoke in my address. It was for this nrin -1 1 that Mr. Davis fought, and against this principal that Mr. Lincoln fought. Jlr.

From tho day that he and Mr. Sew ard, with their carpet bags in hand, came to the Fortress Monroe conference, earnest to meet the confederate authorities, I realized that he was a patriot of great proportion and a statesman of practical scuse and of absolute devotion to his convictions. “I spoko for a principle to which all personal allusions, or even all American allusions were subordinate. The conflict over that principle and.the victory in its final struggle is world wide.” THE LOST PROPELLER. A Great Sacrifice of Human, Life on Lake Michigan. Milwaukee, Wise., October 30.—The steamship Superior, arriving here last night, brought, the first news of tho total wreck of the large passenger propeller off Manitowoc, M is. That the wreck is that of the propeller • ernon, of the Northern Michigan lino, is es tablished at most beyond doubt. She was duo here yesterday, and from the description of the fragments seen by the crew of the Su perior, ;her owners here consider her identity fully established. She had on board a crew twenty-two men and several passengers, tho exact number not being known, and it is supposed that all hands perished. Captain Moran, of the Superior, saw three or four rafts with men clinging to them, and also a small boat con taining a woman and three men. Although he made an effort to rescue them, the high sea prevented the rendering of any assistance, the Superior being herself disabled, and requiring the crew’s best efforts. It was about 10 o’clock in the morning when the first signs of the wreck, in the shape of tho floating cargo and furniture, were seen. About an hour later rafts were sighted. On some the occupants were almost gone, while others signalled the Superior. Captain Williams, of the schooner Joseph Paige, arrived last night at 9 o’clock, and having seen wreckage about six miles east of Two Rivers point, evidently of the passenger vessel. One of tho crew saw a body, and a piece of tho pilot house with a man on it was next seen. Tho sea was run ning so high that it was impossible for the Joseph Paige to get near enough to the man to pick him up. Captain Moran, of tho ’steamship Superior, brought tho first news of the wreck tonight: “I passed one man on a raft appealing for our help, another dying from exposure, and a small boat in which we could see one woman and three men, one waving a coat to attract atten tion, all being tossed about in the terrible sea, without our being able to render them any as sistance, was heartrending in tho ex treme,” said Captain Moran. “Wo were also fighting for dur lives. With the excep tion of the cooks, every man was down below. Our tiller had become disconnected from tho rudder post, leaving us at the mercy of the seas, until we managed to rig up a temporary tackle. With this we kent our vessel out of the trough of the sea, and kept her before the gale. It was three hours before we could han dle ourselves, and then wo were out of sight of the shipwrecked men. There is a possibility that a largo schooner coming up the lake after us may have picked up the persons in the boat. She was three or four miles astern of us, and I could see through a glass that she was heading towards them, but she may have been bound for Manitowac, and could have passed without seeing them. There was little possibility that she could have taken the men off tho rafts, and it is even doubtful if she could pick up the yawl in such a sea. If site could get close enough to throw them a line, as she scudded by, and they held on to it, there might be a chance for them to be saved. It was as heavv a sea as I have experienced in all my life on the lakes. The Sandusky, which wo had in tow, some times buried herself so that only half of her mast could Ve seen. Once she stayed under so long I thought she was gone.” Many will attribute the vessel’s loss to over loading. Without a cargo she was a deeper draft vessel than any on the lakes, and it was impossible to load her with profit to her own ers without making her unsea worthy. In order to obtain great speed her builder sacrificed buoyancy and stability, and every experienced man who saw the Vernon after she was launched, predicted that she would sooner or later meet with disaster. News of the loss of the-propeller Vernon was received among the Chicago vesselmen with great surprise, as she was recognized by them as one of the staunchiest boats for her size that was on the lakes, and captains who had sailed her all agree that she should weather the roughest storm if handled properly. As the vessel had four good boats it is thought that some of the thirty or more aboard must have escaped. The night was frcozingly cold. Nothing is known as to what passengers were aboard. The captain of one vessel reports passing three dead bodies near Three rivers. The vessel cost §03,000 and was insured .lor §37,000. Our Little Worries and Ills.

DISTINGUISHED PEOPLE PRESENT. Richmond, Va., October 27.—The day opened gloomy and wet, with no change in the condition of the weather from that which has prevailed for three days past. The heavy olouds which have overhung the city and since Sunday night have given an almost in cessant downpour of rain, remained unbroken and threatening, and Richmond’s big day was ushered in with a misty rain which fell steadily, with no indication of cessation. Despite all this, however, tho people of tho city and many thousand visitors were early on tho streets, and by 9 o’clock the moving multitude was so great that it was plainly evident that Richmond’s population for the day was as large and probably larger than on any previous occasion. At an early hour the sound of martial music was heard in every direction, and military, mounted and afoot, could be seen moving to their vari ous positions preparatory to tho formation of the procession. Mounted marshals and couriers dashed hither and thither, directing tho movements of troops and arranging the line of march. Before ten o’clock the rain had temporarily ceased, but tho clouds remained unbroken and threatening. The people, however, seemed not to notice this, but had apparently made up their minds to carry out the programme of tho day in all details, rain or shine. The visiting military consists of two corps of cadets, one from the Virginia Military institute and tho other from Blacksburg Agricultural and Me chanical college; two regiments Virginia in fantry, three companies of cavalry, four com panies of artillery, also two companies of in fantry from North Carolina, and one from Maryland. Besides these there are several camps of confederate veterans from different parts of tho state, and six hundred veterans of tho Maryland Line. The latter arrived here this morning, and their appearance on the streets with the Marine band of Washington at the head of the line created considerable interest, and they were everywhere greeted with enthusiasm. Four professors and fifty five students arrived tl is morning from Wash ington and Lee university. General R. E. Leo was at the time of his death president of tho institution, and was succeeded by liis son, General G. W. Curtis Lee, who is now presi dent. Owing to the recent i|hiess of the latter, he was unable to participate in today’s cere monies, but his brothers, General W. IL F. (popularly known as “Rooney”) Lee, and Cap- ’ tain Robert E. Lee, are here. The only other immediate members of tho family are two daughters, who are at present in Europe. At a few minutes before eleven o'clock, everything being in readiness, the procession began to move. At the head of tho lino, after detachments of mounted police, came tho chief marshal of tho day, General Wado Hampton, riding side by side with Governor Fitzhugh Leo, both superbly mounted. Then followed the governor’s staff in brilliant uniform and assistant marshals. Next in suc cessive order came tho Virginia Confederate Veteran camps, Veterans of tho Maryland line, Volunteer Infantry of Virginia, and North Carolina Artillery, and then all various civic organizations, embracing tho Grand Lodge of Virginia Masons; two commandorics of Knights Templar; Blue Lodge Masons; Druids, Elks, Junior Order of American Me chanics; Odd Fellows, and other societies In regalia. The whole made such a display as has never before been seen in Richmond. Dense crowds packed the sidewalks along tho whole route of march, and the enthusiasm of tho populace was given vent to in almost in cessant cheers to be but increased as some fa vorite or famed organization passed by. The procession was nearly an hour in passing a given point, the Richmond fire department, with all apparatus, bringing up the rear. Win dowsand every other available elevated place along the line of march were filled with people, mainly ladies, who cheered tho wet procession ists by \yaving hats and handkerchiefs and ex pressed their pleasure in various other ways. The scene, as the head of the column inarched into the monument grounds, was, despite the drizzle, very inspiring—General Wade Hamp ton and Governor Lee, riding in front, side by side, as lovingly as when in other dayg they commanded cavalry in the army of northern Virginia. The cavalry escort, distinguished guests in carriages, veterans and military all combined to make a brilliant pageant. The statue of Fame Crowning Lee at tho entrance of tho grounds was surrounded by about one hundred veteran-inmates of the Con federate Soldiers’ Home, and as the head of the line approached they unveiled the statue and fired a salute. This statue is a plaster cast of the colossal one on an imitation granite base, designed and constructed by John A. Elden and W. L. Sheppard, two of Richmond’s best known art ists. and is the decided feature of the many designs and decorations to be seen throughout the city. The enthusiasm of tho veterans of Lee Camp home was touching to witness as they recognized so many of their old leaders and comrades in line and greeted them with the old-time confederate yell, which, if not as strong as in former days, was at least as hearty and sincere. The grand stand, to which ad mission was had only by tickets of invitation, was soon filled, while many thousand ; stood in the mud and rain in as close proximity as possible. The Marine Land, of Washington, piayed “Dixie/’ “Star Spangled Banner,” “Yankee Doodle” and other popular airs, while tho veterans, grand lodge of Masons and other organizations took the places assigned them. Despite the constant drizzle, which soon in creased to a hard rain, the people held tlieir places with amazing patience. A. veteran voiced the sentiments of all, when he said : “AVe used to follow Marse Bob in much worse weather than this, ami surely we can chccrfu’ly stand this to do him honor.” (rovernor 1 «ee called the vast assemblage to order and said: (ilizen> and Comrades: As governor of’fir .in la, I am, under the law, ameinb .rof the Lee M ntimeni. a-■»< 1 ition. r.nd by the o f that a .sociatioi , 1 am its president.

At the conclusion of the governor’s remarks, Dr. of the Presbyterian clmirh. who was an intimate personal friend of General it. E.

Lee. and prayed that Lis old soldiers and ri .ing generations might imitate his many virtues, 'fhe grand lodge of Virginia Masons, Most Worshipful Grand Master W. F. Drinkard presiding, took charge of the comer stone, and in “dim ami ancient form” and with the im posing rites of the order, proceeded to lay it. At the conclusion of the coremonies, Gov ernor Lee, in the name of the Lee Monument association, received the work from the hands of the grand m; ««■ r ami c .preyed lhe hope that the monument might “be as enduring as I the r« putation of the soldier whose memory it | commemorates.” At this ji-.m lure the rain became so heavy that the g’P.'Dinor, al:«r consultation jvith oth< ;■ . onn edtl at fuith< r ext n. h would be o o m and oration would be delivered tonight in the hall of the house of delegat<3'iie crowd even then i seemed reluctant to disperse, but finally sought ; shelter in the best of humor, many proceeding i to the stall fairgrounds to spend the remain | der of the day.

'i'lie hall of the hou-»c of delegates was pack- i ed to iU utmost capacity tonight, while many , ' persons had to retire for want of even stand- | i Ing room. Among the audience might bo seen ; many of the prominent personages who had taken part in the day’s coremonies at tho cor nerstone laying; also many ladies. Shortly after eight o’clock Governor Lee ascended the rostrum and called the gathering to order, and after giving a brief but clear history of the for mation and work done by tho Leo Monument association, in complimentary terms, intro duced General Jubal A, Early, who had been selected to preside over the meeting. General Early was greeted w ith thunders of applause. In a few remarks ho expressed his gratification at seeing so largo a gathering. Ho referred to the original formation of this monument association, over which ex-Presi dent Davis presided, and paid an eloquent tribute to the distinguished cx-prosident of tho confederacy, and regretted his absence from Richmond on this occasion. He said lie knew he gave utterance to the sentiments of this vast assemblage when ho expressed the hope that Air. Davis would bo here at the unveiling of tho proposed monument. General Early said that Leo needed no monument, but “we owe it to ourselves to erect it,” and that, however, certain men may go back on their principles, tho noble women of tho south would bo over true. General Early then in fitting terms intro duced Captain Wil Ham Gordon McCabe, of Petersburg, who paid a glowing tribute to tho late Captain James Barron Hope, the gifted author of the poem which ho was about to read. Ho then proceeded with tho reading. Captain McCabe’s recitation of tho poom was masterly in its manner and was frequently in terrupted with rapturous applause. General Early next introduced Colonel Charles Marshall, military secretary of Gen eral R. E. Lee, who delivered tho oration of the day. At the conclusion of Colonel Marshall’s oration, the reading of which occupied over an hour and a half, General Wado Hampton was called upon and responded in a few remarks, in the course of which ho said ho regarded Leo as even a greater man than Washington, and spoke of tho great veneration which tho people of South Carolina had for tho dead confederate chieftain. General Early then closed tho proceedings With appropriate remarks, and tho gathering dispersed, and this ended a day which w ill ever bo memorable in tho history of this city. THE GARDAN OF BDBN. Columbia, S. C., October 30.—[Special.]— In this week’s edition of tho Southern Chris tian-Advocate, published in this city, the Right Rev. J. C. Keener, D. D., of New Orleans, ono of the bishops of tho Methodist Episcopal church south,discusses thequostion of tho site of the Garden of Eden, and advances some novol and ingeniuos theories in favor of southern latitudes. The bishop says: Now, suprose webring Edon down south; say as far as Charleston, embracing tne coast between the Santee and the Savannah, with its several riversand inlets, between the 30th and the 40th parallels of latitude. We have for it this m icli t > say: 1. In and near the Cooper and the Ashley rivers there is a vast collection of the remains of the larg est mammals, specially of their molarsand vertebra?. These are remarkable for their variety; very huge, very many, and evidently of many di.-tinet species. We put this against all solitary individuals as yet discovered in or near the Arctic regions, 2. Besides those remains which, from tho amount of silica in them, have resisted the action of time ami acids, there are phosphate masses in w hich these molars are imbedded. Probably tho large bones returned to their origim 1 source. Then there aru scattered about small and large boulders of the phosphate of lime, indicating at a greater depth a mine of this mineral. t 3. This shows that these animals were not floated into this place by the action of sea currents, but were here from the first, and found in the alluvial plains around, and meadows tilled with bulbous plants, and an exuberant flora, their original habitat. Only a region supplying plants fed by a heavy phosphate pabulum could support creatures of such enormous bone. 4. As these several species multiplied flpom a single pair, masses of their remains would most probably indicate the* place of their origin. Whether bel-o moth was made in Eden, we know that ho was re viewed there, and there named by Adam. Ami tho Ahnighty says, speaking to Job: “Behold now be hemoth, wdueh I made with thue ; he eatoth grass like an ox.” These views, if correct, are still farther strength ened by the building of the ark. As the race had not been separated Ly dispersion or language, it is to be supposed that Noah lived not very far from the original home of man. The construction of a vessel at that time required the same conditions of material and shapa now essential in naval archite lure. Indeed, the dimen sions of the ark are now those of a first-class sea steamer for freight, and are the standard propor tions in the English admiralty office. It was a long, narrow vessel, evidently designed for speed ami a long voyage. Had it been made only to start from a given point and float about for 150 days and then ground at no great distance from the point of depar ture, it would have been shaped heavy ami square. The timbi rs lor such a vessel of length of over five hundred ft el, require timber of cont inuous length and great strength. The cypress was entirely too brittle for the purpose. Ils keel ami ribs would re quire such woo I >ts the live oak, grown near the sea, used to storms, and of a grain i mining every way, bearing equally well a strain from every direction. Large quantities of pilch and fur would be required for pitching it heavily to the within and without. The word ‘‘gopher,” means “pitch,” ‘ pine,” nod it is probable that the gopher wood was the wood of the long-leaf pine. I need not say that either of the Carolinas could have furnished the materials in abundance. That the ark was built somewhat inland for con venience of timber, is pro! able. Yet not very far, as the pricij al weight of iis cargo was to be grami nivoro i ; stock, and large quantities of dried herb age, both of which was to come from meadow lands. The breaking U’» of the deep, etc., at the time of the deluge, would not imply necessarily any very great change in the conformation of the continents. ' nor iu the sea currents. It would presently strike the Gulf Stream. Floating on that sea current it would take a north erly direction until it reached the 40th parallel, ami then would go due east, and, as miinv a I.eljJe-H craft since, would come within Eight of Spain mid Africa. But those coasts being submerged, there would be nothing to deflc t the eurn nt, but it would pass over the plateaus of Spain, into the Mediter ranean, acroKS tho lower part of Greece, then over the plains of Asia Minor, and still holding the same parallel, strike Mount Ararat. The distance from charleston to M >unt Ararat is 131 degrees of lati tude, say 8,515 miles. The time the ark was <»n the waler was one hundred and fifty days, or 3,G00 Lours, olf (‘ape Hatteras the gulf stream has a velocity of two ini'e; an hour; this would leave very little to be overt ome, if anythin ■, w hen we allow for the uninterrupted flow which the current then I a I.

New' York, October 30.—The mystery which has so long enveloped the fate of the body of the millionaire dry goods dealer, AlexanderT. Stewart, forms the subject of a chapter in Su perintendent G. W. Wallihg*4 book, “The Re collections of a New York Chief of Police,” which is soon to bo published. The ex-super intendent professes Io give the only true story of tho stealing of tho body, and also alleges that the body was subsequently returned to re presentatives of Judge Hilton. Tho remains were buried in St. Mark’s church yard, corner of Second avenue*and Tenth street, m an underground vault, tho entrance to which was covered by a flagstone, which, in turn, was sodded over with the surrounding surface, so that there was no outward evidence of its loca tion. Judge Hilton had discovered .evidences that tho vault had been tampered with, and set a watch, but as nothing further transpired, tlio watch was withdrawn, ami three nights later, that is, on the night of November (>th, or tho morning of November 7th, 1878, tho vault was broken open and tho remains stolen. Judge Hilton was firmly of the opinion that the sex ton or his assistant had guilty knowledge of tho transaction, but this was never known. Tho judge at once offered a reward of $25,000 for the return of tho body and tho conviction of tho grave robbers. The first clew came from General Patrick Jones, ox-postmaster of New York, who noti fied Walling that an ox-soldier who had served under him claimed to know something about the Stewart body, and with proper encourage ment would give information leading to its re covery. The superintendent submitted tho offer to Judge Hilton, who declared he would never pay one cent for Mr. Stewart’s bones unless they camo accompanied by the thieves in irons. General Jones was persistent, and wanted to work the case and arrange for burying tho body. 110 showed letters from tho thieves, and a few days later save to the police a pack age expressed to him from Boston, containing a coffin plate, which was identified by tho en graver who had done tho work. To complete their identification, the robbers sent a piece of paper that fitted exactly tho hole in the velvet cover of the coffin cut out by tho thieves when the body was removed. Tliis is now in tho hands of Sexton Hamill, and tho coffin plate is at police headquarters Judge Hilton re mained unalterable and the case was dropped by the authorities, but continued by private detectives. Mrs. Steward differed with her counsel and strongly wished to recover tho body. • Learning this fact tho robbers opened corres pondence with her directly. No trace of tho body or thieves was found until .January, 1882, when General Jones called at headquarters. Ho brought with hima parcel which contained tho silver knobs and several of tho handles be longing to the coffin in which the body had been buried. 110 also showed some letters which ho had received. They purported to have been written in Canada, ami were signed by “Henry G. Romaine.” With the first letter a SIOO bill was inclosed as a retainer for him to act as attorney for tho return of the body upon tho payment of S2SO,(XM). Tho letter then went on to tell tho hour at which tho body was taken; how it was inclosed in a zinc lined trunk and taken to Canada and buried. It said the features wore perfectly preserved, except tho eyes. This was tho letter which inclosed tho bit of paper corresponding to the size of the holo in the velvet, and promised if further proof was required, to send the cof fin plate upon the insertion in tho New York Herald of these words: “Canada—Send P. Counsel.” This was done, and under date of Boston, January 31,1879, a letter came, saying the plate was sent Hom there to avoid the scrutiny of customs officials on the Canadian border. Tho plate was received and identified. Gen eral Jones was instructed, in case the relatives wore ready to negotiate for the remains, to in sert this personal in the Herald: “Cunda— Will do business. Counsel.” This was done at Judge Hilton’s request. Tho reply which camo from Boston on tho 11 tfi of February set forth the terms upon which the body would be restored. 1. The amount to bo paid shall bo $200,000. 2. The body will be delivered to yourself and Judge Hilton within twenty-five miles of the city of Montreal, and no other persons shall bo present. 3. Tho money is to be placed in your hands or under your control until Judge Hilton is fully satisfied, when you will deliver it to my representative. 4. Both parties to maintain forever an un broken silence in regard toithe transaction. .Judge Hilton refused to agree to the terms proposed, and further declined to negotiate through the medium of “personals.” Romaine was written to, General Jom s informing him of the condition of things. His reply was soon received, ordering Mr. .Jones to break off all communication with Judge Hilton and open negotiations with Mrs. Stewart. No notice was taken of this request, but in March Judge Hilton made an offer of $25,000 for the body. General Jones made the fact known to Ro maine, who respectfully but firmly <!<•< lined. 'This closed tho correspondence. The robbers, becoming discouraged, now offered to sell the body for SIOO,OOO. Mrs. Stewart was willing, and ordered her representative Io pay the amount. They delayed matters until I he, figure was reduced to S2O,O<X), which was accepted. Tho conditions of delivery were severe. The messenger with the money was to leave New York city nt 10 p. m. alone in for county, along a lonely road which was indi cated on a map s< nt by tho thieves. Some time before morning, if the man was a'ting in good a one-horse wagon ami drive into \Ve t< hes faith ami was not accompanied or followed by detectives, he would be met and *iv< n further dir< ( lions. A young relative of Mrs. Stewart undertook the hazardous errand. Two or th n o times during Ihe night he was c( rtain that he was closely watched, but it was three o’clock when a masked horseman rode up, gave tho signal agreed upon, and turned the buggy up a lonely lane. The strange visitor here left hlm,dircct ing him to drive on. At the end of another mile he became aware that another wagon was blocking lhe way. 110 paused. A masked man promptly appeared and brought for ward a bag to his buggy, saying: “Here ’tis; where’s the money?’’ “Whore’s tho proof of identity?” asked the mess< nger, as the Lag containing the mor tal remains of A. T. Stewart were lifted into the buggy. “Here,” said the other holding up an irregu lar bit of velvet and opening a bull's eye lan tern with a click. The piece was compared with a bit of paper of the same shape which the New Yorker had brought with him to this lonely spot. “Gome, hurry up,” was the command. Tho messenger obeyed by producing tho money and the robbers retired a few feet and counted it by the fight of their lantern. Then they moved off to their vehicle and the mes senger of Mrs. Stewart drove back the way ho had come. The next night a freight ear wont out to Garden Lily, containing nothing except a trunk, and on it sat a man who had spent the previous night in the loneliest part of Westchester county. An empty cofiin bad been already d< posited in tho cathedml,and at the di ad of night two men transferred the bones from the trunk. They tlx n placed the coffin in an inaccessible vault beneath the dome. H ony one should ever again tout h un- ■ bidden tho vault wliich holds tlie bones of tho merchant millionaire, the touch would release a hidden spring which would ring the chimes I in the tower and s< nd an instant alarm through the townz* Terracing Levels.
