SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 22, 1885.
IS THE BODY IN THE CRYPT?
Rev. Dr' Charles Hall Thinks Stewart’s
Remains Were Never Stolen.
The New York World of Monday says :
“The Rev. Dr. Charles H. Hall, rector of
the Church of the Holy Trinity, of Brook
lyn, yesterday officiated at the Church of
the Holy Incarnation at Garden City, the
Stewart Memorial Cathedral. On his return
home he was met by a World reporter. The
reverend gentleman expressed the opinion
that the body of A. T Stewart is securely
resting in the crypt of the magnificent
edifica built with his money. Further more
he advanced the marvelous theory that the
body had never been stolen. Notwithstand
ing tbe fact thpt Judge Henry Hilton, tie
trustee of the Slewart estate, has paid tens
if not hundreds of thousands to detectives
for searching for the body. Dr. Hall be
lieves there never was anything to find.
The rector of Holy Trinity does not stand
alone in the opinion that A. T. Stewart’s
body has found a last resting place. This
conclusion, however, is generally based on
entirely different grounds from the simple
deduction of the clerical gentleman.
When it was first announced that Stew
art’s body had been stolen,Mrs. Stewart was
reported as having said that the Garden
City Cathedral would not be built until her
husband’s remains were recovered. The
edifice has not only been completed, but
presented to a corporation and handsomely
endowed. The Rev. Dr. Hall was chair
man of the committee appointed by the
Long Island Protestant Episcopal Diocese
that reported favorably on accepting the
munificent gift. It has also frequently been
stated that Judge Hilton paid $50,000 to
the grave robbers for restoring the body.
Dr. Hall believes that the whole story of
the famous grave robbery was manufactured.
It was in his opinion a piece of pure fiction.
When asked what motive he thought could
have actuated Judge Hilton or Mrs. Stewart
to make such an announcement he said:
“There was every reason for its fabrication.
Judge Hilton was constantly annoyed by the
receipt of anonymous letters informing him
that the body was to be stolen. If such a
crime was successfully consummated, the ex
pected reward for the recovery of the body
would be so great the thieves would feel
themselves justified in making an outcry to
secure it. No guard could be placed upon
the body that would not be bribed, and in
order to defend the body the story of its
having been stolen had to be fabricated.
Look at all the reports in the newspapers at
that time. You will find the story is told
with too much attention to details, while the
question: ‘How did the robbers make off
with the body?’ is almost entirely lost sight
of. No, sir, the supposed robbery was never
committed, and some day, and at no distant
one either, you will learn the whole story of
the supposed robbery. I believe firmly that
the body of A. T. Stewart is now in the
crvpt at the Cathedral of the Incarnation of
Garden City.”
“How do you account for the fact that the
grave was found to have been disturbed and
the discovery of the trail over which it was
thought the body had been dragged?” asked
the reporter.
“That is what I refer to when I say that
the story is told with too much attention to
details,” said Dr. Hall. “It all had the ap
pearance of being planned. There is no
doubt in my mind that the very fact that so
nice and ingenious a story was told betrays
its weakness and places the stamp of falsity
on it.”
“But Judge Hilton expended SIOO,OOO or
$200,000 in searching for the body,” suggest
ed the reporter.
“Did ne?” interrupted the clergyman.
“Has it not also been denied that he ever
paid such lirge sums for such an object?
He may have expended a fortune, but that
does not break down the theory. It might
have been necessary to carry out the origi
nal plan and prevent robbery. If the body
had be en stolen, why did not the detectives
keep up 'he search? Why was there not a
more sustained effort to find it and gain the
reward?”
“Mrs. Stewart is said to have paid $50,000
for the return of the body?”
“Is that anything but a rumor? Judge
Hilton and Mrs. Stewart have never ac
knowledged it. The report has never been
substantiated so far as I have heard. No,
I think it is all a myth. Some day you will
learn that the body lies in lhe crypt in the
Garden City Cathedral.”
“Have you any positive information that
it is there, Doctor?”
“No, sir,” answered Dr. Hal), very frank
ly, “I know nothing about it, only from
such information as I gained from the news
papers. I have talked with my friends
about 'he theory, but never ca. e to obtrude
myseif by giving publicity to those views.
Still lam very positive in my bi lief. Ido
not know Mrs. Stewart or Judge Hilton,
and Ido not know anything about their
plans.”
“How did you arrive at such a conclusion
as you have?”
“I merely did a little mental detective
work for my own amusement,” confessed Dr.
Hall.

CROOKED NOTES OF THE ALLEGED
OFFICE BROKER.
How He Flays Upon the Credulity of His
Victims and Usually Fleeces Them—
A Sharp Game—Visit of the Geor
gia Delegation to the President
—His Reply to their Invita
tion Not Yet Made.
Public.
Special Correspondence Daily Times.
Washington, April 20.—Considerable
amusement has been caused here by an ad
vertisement signed by the chairman of the
Democratic State Central Committee of
Minnesota and the member of the National
committee from Minnesota, setting forth
certain rules which applicants for office from |
their State should follow in order to expe- I
dite their applications. “The candidate’s
character,” these regulations say, “must be !
satisfactory to the people with whom he I
will be brought into contact, and he must
also be qualified to fill the position sought
for.”
Now and then one hears of a person pay
ing money to some one for lhe use of influ
ence in obtaining minor offices in tbe depart
ments. Generally those who profess to be
able to secure such appointments for a con
sideration, are frauds, but it is undoubted!?
true that in many cases the goods have been
paid for and delivered. A case I investi
gated some days ago will give an idea of
how needy persons are victimized by sharp
ers, who promise to obtain office. In this
case the supposed office broker had a num
ber of persons whom he was holding
in suspense and bleeding constant
ly by means of small loans
to be credited in the final payment to be
made when the appointment came. It is un
necessary to say the appointment never
comes, and the supposed office broker deals
not in offices but speculates upon the need
and credulity of applicants for office. Os
course the civil service law now reduces the
numbers of the victims of such sharpers, but
a device has been adopted by which they
still continue operations to some extent.
There are always a large number of persons
on the list of “eligibles” who have passed the
examinations, who are anxiously awaiting |
appointment. It is by no means a sure thing 1
that they will receive appointments
and if they are easily led to believe that a
little “inflooence” will help them, the
sharper whispeis in the earof the applicant
that he will fix him in a place inside for
the sum of SSO or SIOO, payable when the
applicant receives the appointment. Now
the sharper never does anything about it at
all. He trusts to the chance that a certain
percentage of the applicants with whom he
has made a bargain, will receive appoint
ments in course of time. Whenever one
gets an appointment he is soon on hand all
smiles, and makes the victim believe that
he had had considerable trouble in securing
the place for him and demauds his fee. The
fee is paid and the victim of course never
says anything.
The delegations of Georgians who called
upon the President this afternoon, to extend
to him a formal invitation to attend the Na
tional Commercial Convention, to be held
at Atlanta, May 21st, was very cordially
received by Mr. Cleveland. It
consisted of Senator A. H.
Colquitt, Gen. John B. Gordon, Hon. N. J
Hammond, E P Howell, Geo. Hillyer, John
A. Fitten, Wm. A Hemphill, John N.
Dunn, M. C. Keer, H. W. Grady Allison
Green, Jack W Johnson and Charles A.
Colier. Senator Colquitt and General Gor
don and other gentlemen of Georgia. They
said they did not want the President to go
to Georgia merely to attend the convention.
That time, they said, had been selected, be
cause the President could then see and meet
with the Representatives of the whole
South. In going and returning, '
he would pass over two
routes practically making a tour of the
Southern States. They assured the Presi
dent that they would keep off the office .
seekers and not let them get near h>m, and
that he need not make a speech unless he
wanted to, but if he felt like making one he '
would be given the opportunity.
They put it to the President to go down
and see the South as it was. One of the
gentlemen remarked that they had not had !
a President in Georgia since Hayes was :
there, and although they looked upon him
as a fraud, the people had received him j
well. Another gentleman said that if the
President did not go there would be thir- <
teen Georgians—the flowers < f the South— t
lost to the country, as none of them would i
dare return home.' Mr. Howell remarked ]
that in that event l.e would withdraw Lis 1
declination of a foreign corsolate and go 1
abroad. The President expressed a strong i
desire to go. He spoke pleasantly i
quired what the cabinet officers whom the s
delegation had interviewed had said. He s
was informed that at least three of them <
would go and would recommend his going. :
After furtner talk the President said he
would give his answer to-morrow.

to the want of a proper designating tablet

that the General requested that the struc

stances connected with this mark of esteem
erected to the memory of Washington’s

these:

If it be correct that these words were his

with, for atmndance of grass is allowed to

YESTERDAY’S GAME BETWEEN
THE SAVANNAHS AND A
PICKED NINE.
A La>ge Assemblage Present at tbe New
Park—The Amateurs Do Well, But Are
Defeated by the Regulars in a Score
of 11 to 1— Organization of the
“Davis Brothers’ Nine”—Sev
eral Interesting Games
in Prospect.
Despite the fact that the grounds were not
quite ready for games, and the grand stand
hardly completed, over one thousand people
assembled at the new Base Ball
Park yesterday to witness the game
between the Savannah club ‘and a
picked nine, consisting of members of
the Dixies, Oglethorpes and others. There
was considerable interest manifested in the
game and great curiosity was excited, as the
public desired to see how the new club would
play. Their appearance, uniform and prac
tice, elicited favorable comments, and when
game was called, at 4 o’clock, the expecta
tion was great. The picked nine went to the
bat and Troy faced Smith, the phenomenal
pitcher of the Savannah club. He was easily
retired on strikes, and Westcott, who fol
lowed, batted a short one to centre, got first,
stole second and third, and scored on an
error. This was the first and only run made
by the picked nine, as all attempts thereafter
to cross the home plate proved fu
tile and unavailing. McLaughlin went
out on a foul and Cullum fell a victim to the
catcher, as he was struck out. The Savan
nah Club sent Fisher to the bat, but he
struck a long one to Rossiter, who caught it,
retiring the sender. Murray went to first
base on called balls, State second and third
and scored. Butler stole out on a fly to
first base, Nichols the same. Scanlon ended
this inning by retiring the third man on
third base while endeavoring to reach
home.
In the second inning Rossiter, Dodd and
Hoggins fell victims to Smith, as he retired
them in the order named. The Savannah
Club was retired as foil ws: Kruso went out
at first, Graves fouled to Hoggins, and Burke
was retired by a beautiful catch by Dodd.
The picked nine in the third inning were
done for by double plays of Fisher and
Ingraham, who retired Lamotte and West
cott, while Scanlon was struck out, and the
| Savannah Club was retired by Cul
| lum, assisted by Troy, who fielded so
well that Smith, Fisher and Murray
| fell victims to these players. In the fourth
innings Wescott struck out. McLaughlin
i was caught napping on second and Cullom
' struck.out. The Savannah club sent Butler
1 to the bat, who struck a liner to right field
er, who fumbied it, giving the player two
bases. He stole third and came home.
Nichols sent a daisy to short stop, who was
not there. He made first ahd stole home
Ingraham made his base on called balls, and
was brought home by Burke’s long bit to
center field. Krusa was sacrificed at first.
Graves made his score by good running,
Burke his by heavy batting, Smith his by
errors of catcher, Fisher his by a hot one to
center field, assisted by good running, and
Murray his by judiciously placing the ball
where there was no player. In this inning
the Savannah club scored seven runs.
In the fifth inning Rossiter, Dodd and
Hoggins were closed out on strikes on the
part of the picked nine. Ingraham scored
by a beautiful hit to right field on which he
made two bases, stole third, and came home.
Kruso went out on a fly to LaMotte, Graves
was victimized by Westcott, and Burke
struck out.
In the sixth innings there were no runs
made, but the pitching of Smith retired
Scanlon, LaMotte and Westcott. The Sa
vannah Club was retired by Smith fouling
out, Butler giving LaMotte a fly, which he
took, and Nichols being caught at first.
The only noticeable play in the seventh
innings, was a three base hit by McLaugh
lin, who, however, was left there by Cullum,
Rossiter and Dodd striking out. The long
hit of McLaughlin was greeted by tumul
tuous applause. Ingraham made a score for
the Savannah club on hoi hit and good base
running. Kruso out on a foul to Hoggins,
Graves the same way and Burke retired on
second while trying to steal a base.
Hoi gins in the eighth fell a victim to
Fisher on a short fly, Scanlon fouled out
and Troy was struck out. Smith was retired
at first, Murray was caught by LaMotte and
Butler went out on foul.
Smith in the ninth inning remorselessly
retired Wescott, McLaughlin and Cullum.
The Savannah club did not finish this inn
irg. It will be seen by the score that Smith
and Graves the Savannah battery are a full
team, that they retired twenty-two men on
strikes and played a remarkably fine
game throughout.

ball of Georgia. The Savannahs want to
play a series of games with the Atlantas
aid Macons, as they desire to cross
bats with those orgauizitions first. Their
manager is now negotiating with the Chi
cagos and several crack clubs for engage
ments. TheSavannahs will play another game
today in which Gillan and Nichols will
constitute the battery. They are the change
battery and are acknowledged to have few
superiors in the country. Great expecta
tions are placed on them for this game and
it is expected that good work will be ac
complished. The playing of the Picked
nine yesterday was very good, and as the
club has been organized for the season un
der the name of “The Davis Bros. Nine”, it
will give the Savannahs several warm
games.
BISHOP GROSS.
His Silent Farewell to Savannah.
Right Reverend William H. Gross, Bishop
and spiritual head of the Roman Catholic
Church in Georgia,left the city sometime ago,
so it is said, never to return again. The cit*
cumstances under which he left are, that
» he > a few years ago he was appointed to the
Bishopric of this diocese his parishioners in
Baltimore to whom he was greatly attached |
and by whom he was fondly beloved, took
his departure from the Monumental City so
keenly and regretfully that it pained Bishop
Gross greatly. Knowing that the members
of the Catholic Church in this State and the
numerous friends of religious denomina
tions differing from the one he espoused,
would regret his departure hence, and fear
ing that demonstrations testifying to the
affectionate regard and high respect enter
tained for him would be shown him as head
of the Catholic Church, and as a scholar
and orator, he quietly withdrew to Balti
more to visit the Archbishop and sever his
connection with the Georgia diocese. A
petition expressing the great loss of the
people for him and the high esteem in
which he was held, was about to be pre
sented to the Archbishop of Baltimore,
asking him to dissuade Bishop Gross from
accepting the See of Oregon, but when the
church dignitary refused to come back to
Savannah for the reasons already given it
was withdrawn. Bishop Gross will be in
vested with the pallium, the office of Arch
bishop, and will leave for Oregon, hit new
field of labor in a few weeks. It may be a
little ptremature, but it is a fact neverthe
less, the Catholics of Georgia in the eleva
tion of Bishop Gross to the Archbishopric
have it is claimed by many,
lost the best spiritual head they ever
had, and it will indeed be a most extremely
difficult job to find among the many compe
tent, renowned, eloquent and learned eccle
siastics in the North, one who will fill his
place.

RUNAWAY ON BULL STREET.
Narrow Escape from a Disastrous Accident.
This morning as Mr. Robert J. Bowe waß
driving along Broughton street, and just as
he turned into Bull street the wagon in
which he was seated gave way “amidship,’ 7
the front wheels separating from them in
rear. Mr. Bowe was pulled forward from
his seat by the reins, and thrown
instantly on his face to
the ground. Fortunately he was driving his
horse in a walk at the time, and so, beyond a
shaking up which was pretty severe for a
man of his years, he escaped without injury.
Had he been going rapidly he would have
been lucky to have gotten off' with a
broken limb.
The horse went qu'te slowly for some
distance, but at leng h evidently realizing
that something unusual had happened, be
came ft ightened, and dashed down Bull to
Congress street at a furious ga't, turning the
corner of Congress in front of the Screven
House, and smashing the forepart oi the
wagon against the iron railing which in
closes Jobnson square. He then ran down
Congress to Drayton street, at which point
he was [stopped, without doing any more
damage. Mr. Bowe made a narrow escape
for which he is entitled to congratulations,
—Forty refrigerators and 82 crates of
strawberries were sent to New York to
day per steamship Nacoochee.
Two charming little girls were dancing
“the racket” in the streets. M hat makes
you to happy?” a gentleman asked. “Ob,
cur mas have thrown away all our horrid
medicine, and we have only to take Dr.
Bui’s Cough Syrup, and that ain’t bad at
all.”
